DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its Consolidated Financial Statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 14 - Noncontrolling Interests”).
PBF Energy holds a 99.3% economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2024 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.7% economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF LLC, together with its subsidiaries, owns an interest in an equity method investment that owns and operates a biorefinery co-located with the Chalmette refinery in Louisiana (the “Renewable Diesel Facility”).
Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires.
Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products and represent the Refining segment. PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”) operates logistics assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. The Logistics segment consists solely of PBFX’s operations.
Investment in Equity Method Investee
On June 27, 2023, the Company contributed certain assets to St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”), a jointly held investment between the Company and Eni Sustainable Mobility US. Inc., a controlled subsidiary of Eni S.p.A. (collectively “Eni”). The Company accounts for its 50% equity ownership of SBR as an equity method investment, as the Company has significant influence, but not control, over SBR.
PBFX Merger Transaction
On November 30, 2022, PBF Energy, PBF LLC, PBFX Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, Riverlands Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, PBFX, and PBF Logistics GP LLC closed on a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which PBF Energy and PBF LLC acquired all of the publicly held common units in PBFX representing limited partner interests in the master limited partnership not already owned by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Energy and its affiliates (the “Merger Transaction”). Subsequent to closing on the Merger Transaction, PBFX became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC.
At the effective time of the closing of the Merger Transaction, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each PBFX Public Common Unit was converted into the right to receive: (i) 0.27 of a share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of PBF Energy, (ii) $9.25 in cash, without interest, and (iii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of PBF Energy Common Stock to which the holder thereof became entitled upon surrender of such PBFX Public Common Units in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Such Merger Agreement consideration totaled $303.7 million in cash and resulted in the issuance of 8,864,684 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. The PBFX Common Units owned by PBF LLC and PBFX Holdings Inc. and the non-economic general partner interest remained outstanding and were unaffected by the Merger Transaction. There was no change in ownership of the non-economic general partner interest.
The Merger Transaction was accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. Because the Company controlled PBFX both before and after the Merger Transaction, the changes in the Company’s ownership interest in PBFX resulting from the Merger Transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss was recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the tax effects of the Merger Transaction were recorded as adjustments to other assets, deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital consistent with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).
