Delek US Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2007 Earnings
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2007--Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK) today reported net income of $20.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2007 compared to $26.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2006. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $108.5 million, or $2.07 per diluted share, compared to $81.4 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The Company's third quarter earnings were positively impacted by a higher contribution margin from its marketing segment, saw higher merchandise sales in the retail segment, but like much of the industry, experienced increases in crude prices which impacted contribution margin in the refining segment.
Uzi Yemin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek US, remarked, "Our retail and marketing segments contributed over 50% of our total contribution margin, which demonstrates the success of our diversified business model. At the same time, we expanded our portfolio through the acquisition of a 34.6% equity investment in Lion Oil."
Refining Segment: The refining segment contribution margin was $26.8 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $36.5 million for the third quarter of 2006. The refinery operating gross margin, adding back inter-company marketing fees of $0.88 per barrel, was $10.37 per barrel sold compared to $10.58 per barrel sold for the same quarter last year. The third quarter realized margin was affected by a 15.5% increase in crude oil prices over the second quarter of 2007.
Net sales for the quarter were $419.2 million compared to sales of $424.5 million for the same quarter last year. Net sales of 52,296 barrels per day as compared to 55,181 barrels per day for the 2006 third quarter, were impacted by unplanned maintenance interruptions at the refinery that caused temporary product outages at the Tyler terminal. Additionally, we incurred $4.2 million in service fees from the marketing segment in the third quarter of 2007 for services under an agreement initiated in the fourth quarter of 2006. This was partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per barrel of $87.13 in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $83.61 per barrel sold in the third quarter of 2006.
Total throughput was 56,474 barrels per day compared to 56,731 barrels for the same period a year ago. In the third quarter, Delek processed approximately 8.4% of West Texas sour crude compared to 7% of West Texas sour crude run in the second quarter of 2007.
Retail Segment: The retail segment contribution margin was $21.2 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $23.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net sales for the quarter were $481.1 million, an increase of 19.7% compared to the third quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to the addition of the 107 stores acquired through the Calfee acquisition.
Merchandise sales for the quarter increased 26.2% to $114.6 million compared to $90.8 million for the third quarter of 2006. The increase was supported by the $20.0 million in merchandise sales associated with the acquired Calfee stores and by a same store sales increase of 1.8%. The merchandise margin in the third quarter was 31.9%, representing a 160 basis point increase from the same quarter last year.
Retail fuel gallons sold increased 18.2% to 126.5 million for the third quarter 2007 from 107.0 million in the third quarter 2006. The increase in gallons sold was primarily driven by the Calfee stores acquired in second quarter of 2007. Retail fuel margin for the third quarter 2007 decreased to 15.2 cents per gallon from 20.7 cents per gallon for the same period last year, due to steadily increasing wholesale fuel costs.
Marketing Segment: The marketing segment reported a contribution margin of $7.7 million, or 13.8% of the total contribution margin, compared to a loss of $0.9 million during the 61 days we operated in the third quarter of 2006. Net sales were $164.5 million, including $4.2 million of inter-company fees and sales from the refinery segment on total sales volume of 18,151 barrels per day.
Acquisition Update: During the quarter, Delek completed the acquisition of a 34.6% equity investment in Lion Oil Company. Lion Oil, a privately held company, owns and operates a 75,000 barrel per day, high conversion crude oil refinery in El Dorado, AR, three crude oil pipelines and two refined petroleum products terminals in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee.

(1) Refining operating margin per barrel is calculated by dividing the margin between net sales and cost of crude oil, feedstocks and related transportation by the total barrels sold at our refinery. Industry-wide refining results are driven and measured by the margins between refined petroleum product prices and the prices for crude oil, which are referred to as crack spreads: the differential in price between a representative barrel of benchmark refined petroleum products, such as gasoline or heating oil, and a barrel of benchmark crude oil. The US Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread represents the differential between Platt's quotations for 3/5 of a barrel of US Gulf Coast Pipeline 87 Octane Conventional Gasoline and 2/5 of a barrel of US Gulf Coast Pipeline No. 2 Heating Oil (high sulfur diesel) on the one hand, and the first month futures price of 5/5 of a barrel of light sweet crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange, on the other hand. We compare our refining operating margin to these crack spreads to assess our operating performance relative to other participants in our industry.
(2) Adding back inter-company marketing services fees of $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $10.8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2007, from Refining to Marketing segment.
(3) Consists of third party credit, debit and fuel card processing fees as a percentage of gross margin.
(4) Merchandise and cash over/short as a percentage of net sales is a measure of merchandise loss or theft, motor fuel theft and cash shortages as a percentage of net sales.
(5) Operating expense for our retail segment divided by merchandise sales plus total gallons sold is a ratio we use to measure store operating performance -- especially operating expense control. Total gallons are used rather than net fuel sales to eliminate the volatility of fuel prices in the calculation and improve comparability.
