(NYSE: CVI) today announced full year 2013 net income of $370.7 million, or $4.27 per diluted share, on net sales of $8,985.8 million, compared to net income for the full year 2012 of $378.6 million, or $4.33 per diluted share, on net sales of $8,567.3 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, the company reported a net loss of $21.7 million, or a loss of 25 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2,436.0 million, compared to fourth quarter 2012 net income of $40.2 million, or 46 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,880.8 million. Impacting 2013 fourth quarter net income was a net loss on derivatives of $115.9 million, which included a gain on current period settled derivatives of $10.3 million, and an unfavorable first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting impact of $62.0 million. Derivative losses were primarily the result of wider crack spreads at the end of the fourth quarter on open commodity swap positions as of Dec. 31, 2013. The majority of the commodity swap positions will be settled at various times in 2014.

Fourth quarter 2013 adjusted EBITDA was $110.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $210.3 million for the same period a year earlier.

"Both of our businesses had excellent operational performance in the fourth quarter," said Jack Lipinski, CVR Energy's chief executive officer. "Our petroleum subsidiary, CVR Refining, had record combined crude throughput rates for the quarter. Our fertilizer subsidiary, CVR Partners, posted high on-stream rates and record UAN production for the quarter and year."

The company also announced a fourth quarter 2013 cash dividend of 75 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy's Board of Directors, will be paid on March 10, 2014, to stockholders of record on March 3, 2014.

Today, CVR Refining announced a 2013 fourth quarter cash distribution of 45 cents per common unit, and CVR Partners announced a 2013 fourth quarter cash distribution of 43 cents per common unit.

"We continue to return cash to stockholders through quarterly dividends," Lipinski said. "CVR Energy's fourth quarter cash dividend of 75 cents per share brings the cumulative cash dividends paid or declared for 2013 to $15 per share."

The petroleum business, which is operated by CVR Refining and includes the Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries, reported fourth quarter 2013 operating income of $14.9 million, on net sales of $2,360.9 million, compared to operating income of $121.3 million, on net sales of $1,816.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Direct operating expenses per barrel sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the 2013 fourth quarter was $4.27, compared to $11.29 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2012 direct operating expenses and throughputs were negatively impacted by a major scheduled turnaround at the Wynnewood refinery.

Fourth quarter 2013 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks totaled 216,876 bpd, compared to fourth quarter 2012 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks of 162,603 bpd.

(1)

Gross tons produced for ammonia represent the total ammonia produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into UAN. As a result of the completion of the UAN expansion project in February 2013, the Nitrogen Fertilizer segment now upgrades substantially all of the ammonia it produces into UAN. The net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale that was not upgraded into UAN.



(2)

In addition to the produced ammonia, the Nitrogen Fertilizer segment acquired approximately 12,000 tons and 17,000 tons of ammonia, which was upgraded to UAN during the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.



(3)

Plant gate sales per ton represent net sales less freight and hydrogen revenue divided by product sales volume in tons in the reporting period and is shown in order to provide a pricing measure that is comparable across the fertilizer industry.



(4)

On-stream factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the total number of hours in the reporting period and is included as a measure of operating efficiency. Excluding the impact of the Linde air separation unit outage and the major scheduled turnaround, the on-stream factors for the three months ended December 31, 2012 would have been 99.7% for gasifier, 98.8% for ammonia and 91.5% for UAN.

Excluding the impact of the UAN expansion coming on-line, the planned downtime associated with replacement of damaged catalyst, the unplanned Linde air separation unit outages and the unplanned downtime associated with weather issues, the on-stream factors for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been 99.5% for gasifier, 98.9% for ammonia and 98.0% for UAN. Excluding the impact of the Linde air separation unit outage and the major scheduled turnaround, the on-stream factors for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been 98.1% for gasifier, 97.1% for ammonia and 92.8% for UAN.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures as noted above which are reconciled to our GAAP-based results below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of the Company's financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted net income is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of our performance but rather should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Management believes that adjusted net income provides relevant and useful information that enables external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment's net sales and cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries' performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of product sold that they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the Petroleum segment's ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment's net sales and cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) adjusted for FIFO impacts. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries' performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of product sold (taking into account the impact of the utilization of FIFO) that they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in favorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices increase and unfavorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices decrease.

Gross profit is calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment's net sales, cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), major scheduled turnaround expenses and depreciation and amortization. Gross profit per crude throughput barrel is calculated as gross profit as derived above divided by the refineries' crude oil throughput volumes for the respective periods presented. Gross profit is a non-GAAP measure that should not be substituted for operating income. Management believes it is important to investors in evaluating the refineries' performance and the Petroleum segment's ongoing operating results. Our calculation of gross profit may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for FIFO impacts (favorable) unfavorable, share-based compensation, major scheduled turnaround expenses, loss on disposition of fixed assets, gain (loss) on derivatives, net, current period settlements on derivative contracts, loss on extinguishment of debt and expenses associated with the acquisition of Gary-Williams. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enables investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allows for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Adjusted Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA represents operating income adjusted for FIFO impacts (favorable) unfavorable; share-based compensation, non-cash; major scheduled turnaround expenses; current period settlements on derivative contracts; loss on disposition of fixed assets; depreciation and amortization; and other income (expense). We present Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment because it is the starting point for CVR Refining's and CVR Partners' calculation of available cash for distribution. Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for operating income as a measure of performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment enables investors to better understand CVR Refining's and CVR Partners' ability to make distributions to their common unitholders, evaluate our ongoing operating results and allows for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Derivatives Summary. The Petroleum segment enters into commodity swap contracts through crack spread swap agreements with financial counterparties to fix the spread risk between the refineries' crude oil purchases and the refined products the refineries produce for sale. Through these swaps, the Petroleum segment will sell a fixed differential for the value between the selected refined product benchmark and the benchmark crude oil price, thereby locking in a margin for a portion of the refineries' production. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. From time to time, the Petroleum segment holds various NYMEX positions through a third-party clearing house.
