I'll now turn the call over to our Chief Executive Officer, William Pape.

Speaker 2

Thank you, Hashimi, and good morning to our conference call participants. This quarter was an exciting period in our company's growth. We made progress on many strategic objectives and reported excellent financial results. 2nd quarter adjusted EBITDA was $151,000,000 and adjusted net income was $1.73 per share. While the market continues to be supportive of our business, our financial results were attributable to solid commercial and operational execution at each of our business units.

Speaker 2

We closed the Billings acquisition on June 1 and welcomed the Par Montana team to our organization. Initial performance has been very strong With June operational and financial results well above our acquisition forecast. As previously noted, success in billings depends on improving reliability. Our confidence is growing that the Billings Refinery will exceed our acquisition case, which assumed 50,000 barrels per day of throughput. The Par Montana team has identified numerous projects to improve mechanical integrity, utility and infrastructure improvements Other important elements of reliability.

Speaker 2

These are generally small capital high return projects. The June results demonstrate that improved reliability drives significant site profitability. We also made considerable progress on our renewables initiative. The Hawaii distillate hydrotreater conversion project is progressing well and we continue to advance engineering on the Tacoma SAF Green Hydrogen project. The 3rd quarter is shaping up to be another strong quarter.

Speaker 2

Global inventories tightened in July due to solid demand for refined products. As a result, market cracks have been improving throughout the first half of this quarter. We're also benefiting from growing local demand. Our retail units posted exceptional same store sales growth during the Q2, illustrating the strength of our franchises and overall market growth. June 30 liquidity of $464,000,000 reflects a strong capital structure.

Speaker 2

During the quarter, we were able to fund the Billings acquisition with cash on hand and availability from our new asset backed loan facility. Since the closing, we have steadily reduced our debt and rebuilt our liquidity. Before Will covers our commercial and operational performance in more detail, I also want to note that the Board of Directors has authorized management to repurchase Up to $250,000,000 of common stock. At this stage in our company's evolution, we will use this authority opportunistically as we have sufficient liquidity to achieve our ambitious growth objectives, while also repurchasing common stock at attractive prices. I'll now turn the call over to Will.

Speaker 3

Thank you, Bill. The Refining and Logistics business units delivered a strong quarter, Executing planned maintenance efficiently and achieving excellent throughput. The combined throughputs of Hawaii, Washington and Wyoming Resulted in record quarterly throughput of 142,000 barrels per day. In addition, the billings team delivered a strong initial contribution The total crude charge of nearly 63,000 barrels per day for the month of June. In Hawaii, 2nd quarter throughput increased 84,000 barrels per day Production costs were $4.33 per barrel.

Speaker 3

The Singapore index averaged $13.72 per barrel during the quarter Following crude price environment, favorable freight rates, low levels of backwardation and a modest product crack hedge benefit. In Washington, 2nd quarter throughput was 41,000 barrels per day and production costs were $3.98 per barrel. The PMW Index averaged $25 per barrel during the quarter. Captured declined to 25%, reflecting a greater than $5 per barrel tightening WCS crude differentials during the period as well as asphalt and VGO weakness. In Wyoming, 2nd quarter throughput was 17,000 barrels per day and production costs were $8.30 per barrel, slightly elevated due to minor planned maintenance.

Speaker 3

U. S. Gulf Coast Index was $21.65 per barrel during the quarter. Wyoming capture was approximately 95%, including a negative FIFO impact of $3,000,000 but partially offset by Rockies regional strength. And finally, Montana production costs settled $8.07 per barrel, reflecting the strong June throughput.

Speaker 3

Like our Wyoming location, we plan to use the U. S. Gulf Coast Index is a benchmark for the Montana location. That index averaged $23.20 over the course of June and capture was 134%, reflecting strong regional Rockies differentials to the Gulf Coast. Like Wyoming, Montana capture is highly seasonal.

Speaker 3

Looking ahead to the Q3, we expect Hawaii to run between 8,300,000 and 88,000 barrels per day Montana between 52,057 Washington between 40,42 and Wyoming between 17,019 barrels per day. Due to unplanned downtime during July of our Hawaii Reformer unit, we expect a margin impact of $1.50 to $2 per barrel. We expect our Q3 Hawaii crude differential to average between $5 $5.50 per barrel, approximately flat to the prior quarter. In total, we expect system wide throughput of approximately 200,000 barrels per day or 92% utilization. The Retail segment generated another strong financial quarter with growing fuel volumes and expanding merchandise revenues.

Speaker 3

2nd quarter same store sales fuel volumes and merchandise revenue ramped up nicely, growing 11% 12%, respectively, Versus the 2022 levels. These same store sales reflect rebounding Hawaii economic activity as well as the growing strength of our Helei and Nom Nom brands. The successful execution of the Billings transaction reflects months of planning and coordination. I'd like to congratulate and thank the entire Par Montana and Par Pacific team for driving a well planned operational integration. We pride ourselves on crisp integrations And this was another great team effort.

Speaker 3

Our initial time on the ground in Montana has largely confirmed our initial assessment. We believe we will optimize operations and achieve the initial synergies as well as consistently move throughput above our baseline. With respect to our renewables initiatives, in July, we began trial runs for our Tacoma co processing operation. Less than $2,000,000 project reduces our exposure and we expect a less than 1 year payback period. We have started fabrication on our previously announced Hawaii SAF project, We also continue to dedicate time and resources to scoping a larger co located green hydrogen and SAF facility at our Tacoma Refinery.

Speaker 3

We expect to make a final investment decision on this project early next year. I will now turn it over to Sean to review our financial results.

Speaker 4

Thank you, Will. 2nd quarter adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings were $151,000,000 $106,000,000 or $1.73 per share. The Refining segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $129,000,000 in the 2nd quarter compared to $153,000,000 In the Q1, we got off to a strong start in billings generating adjusted EBITDA of $43,000,000 during the 1st month of our ownership. Our 2nd quarter refining results include a $12,000,000 benefit in Hawaii from price lag and product crack hedging, partially offset by a negative FIFO impact in Wyoming of $3,000,000 We have continued our product crack hedging framework in Hawaii with approximately 25% of our 3rd quarter sales As at a $15 per barrel premium to Brent. Our Logistics segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $26,000,000 in the 2nd quarter Compared to $18,000,000 in the Q1, the sequential improvement was driven by increased marine throughput in Hawaii and Washington And a $3,000,000 contribution in June from the Montana Logistics System.

Speaker 4

The Retail segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $18,000,000 in the quarter compared to $17,000,000 in the first quarter. Through the first half of the year, our retail businesses generated $35,000,000 in adjusted EBITDA Compared to $15,000,000 during the first half of last year. As Will mentioned, our strong retail earnings were supported by growing same store sales volumes And merchandise revenue. Corporate expenses and adjusted EBITDA were $22,000,000 in the 2nd quarter compared to $19,000,000 in the 1st quarter. Our second quarter expenses include $3,000,000 related to our renewables development and other one time costs.

Speaker 4

As we advance engineering on our renewables Project in Tacoma, we expect to incur an additional $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 per quarter above our baseline corporate expense guidance of $17,000,000 $19,000,000 Cash provided by operations during the Q2 totaled $173,000,000 Net changes in working capital resulted in a cash inflow of $88,000,000 primarily driven by the initial build and trade payables at Par Montana. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $624,000,000 This includes $280,000,000 for the remaining billings base purchase price $328,000,000 for the billings hydrocarbon inventory and other working capital items. Cash outflows from financing Activities totaled $20,000,000 in the quarter, driven by repayments of borrowings on our Hawaii deferred financing facility. 2nd quarter ending liquidity was $464,000,000 including $191,000,000 in cash and $273,000,000 in availability. Concurrent with the Billings acquisition, we completed the upsize of our asset based loan facility, increasing total bank commitments from $150,000,000 $600,000,000 Strong cash flow from operations during the quarter allowed us to pay down the ABL from $215,000,000 on June 1st to $41,000,000 on June 30.

Speaker 4

Total gross debt was $595,000,000 at the end of the 2nd quarter, an increase of just $45,000,000 from our pre acquisition levels. And lastly, with the Billings acquisition closed, we are increasing our 2023 CapEx Guidance by $20,000,000 to a total of $90,000,000 to $100,000,000 for the full year. This concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, we'll turn it to you for Q and A.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. Our first question comes from Matthew Blair with TPH. Please go ahead.

Speaker 5

Hey, good morning, Bill, Will and Sean. How are you guys?

Speaker 2

Great. Hey, Matthew.

Speaker 5

The initial contribution from the Billings refinery appeared quite strong, which I suppose isn't too unusual For a June period, could you walk through the major drivers for us? And were there any one time benefits That we should be aware of. And then finally, when do you think the next major turnaround will be scheduled for billings?

Speaker 3

Sure, Matt. This is Will. I'll take the operational aspects and then let Sean address some of the financial components. I would say overall, the biggest drivers of strong throughputs, again, I think we're able to really run at max rates Through the crude unit and FCC, we'll be able to feed additional crude into that unit. So again, I think saw strong Performance from the team there right out of the gate.

Speaker 3

I think we are also in above mid cycle margin environment for both Gulf Coast cracks As well as the Rockies regional differentials. And then ultimately, the feedstock inputs for Canadian heavy barrels as well as the light barrels Ron, we're, I would say, in line with our acquisition model. So again, I think it was really a combination of Strong operations from the team and above mid cycle environment. With respect to turnarounds, we do have planned turnaround activity in 2024. I'd expect it to be about a 30 day outage.

Speaker 3

I think one thing I'd point out for you in billings that's unique is, again, Even when we have certain units down, we're unlikely to take total crude charge down to 0. So again, we're able to feed crude to the cat unit. And so ultimately, it's going to be a little bit different than our other facilities where we have plant wide outages. John, do you want to take any one time aspects or financial

Speaker 4

Yes, I think Will hit on most of the financial components. Matthew, I know you track the Rockies market pretty closely. I think we saw Both Rockies Gas and Diesel peak in June, both were very favorable to the Gulf Coast. They remain strong, but likely it peaked in June.

Speaker 5

Great. Thanks for all the color. And then The next question might be for Bill. You talked about raising the buyback authorization to $250,000,000 You mentioned it would be an Could you talk about your current opportunity set and how you view it between M and A Buybacks and the potential dividend? Thanks.

Speaker 2

Sure, Matt. We obviously focus on our avenues of growth first. And when we think about growth, as Will mentioned, we think there's a real opportunity just investing in reliability. You'll note that we were Projecting throughput at 92% of system capacity by investing in reliability over time, we think we can get that number up. There's that we've demonstrated in the past in Hawaii and we think there's significant opportunities to run the way we did in June kind of year round in Montana with some investment.

Speaker 2

In addition to that, we'll also be looking at building out our logistics system. We also continue to grow our retail system. We've got a couple of new to industry Sites that will be opening this year, 1 in Hawaii and 1 in Washington. And then of course, we'll be investing in renewables around our existing footprint. In addition to that, I mean, obviously, we're looking at extending into other communities within our market, but that's not something that We really look at unless an opportunity pops up.

Speaker 2

And we'll take all of that into account and at the same time give consideration

Speaker 5

Great. Thanks for all the color and congrats on the strong results.

Speaker 2

Thank you.

Operator

Our next question comes from Neil Mehta with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

Speaker 6

Yes, Bill, team, I'll add my congrats to it. It was a really strong start to the year. And this kind of leads to my first question, which is, You've talked about a mid cycle view on free cash flow per share or EBITDA basis in the past. Can you talk about how that view is Evolving in light of execution in the margin environment and how can we frame what a Blue Sky could Like for the business a couple of years out, if you continue on this trajectory?

Speaker 2

I think one way to think about it, Neil, is the Mid cycle that we quoted was kind of based on a 15, 19 average and it was also based on an acquisition case in billings of 50,000 barrels a day. And We've noted in the past that if we can get our utilization, our throughput up in building by 1,000 barrels a day, I think that added close to 10% of the net present of our evaluation of billings or close to $30,000,000 in net present value if you think about it in the context of the purchase price for this deal. So there's a real opportunity for growth associated with getting our throughput up. And we've increased our throughput in Hawaii and That actually adds value as well. I think the averages as well, if you think about that 15, 19 average, We've improved our capture in Hawaii and I don't have the number in front of me, Sean may have specifics, pretty materially Over that average as well.

Speaker 2

I think that that also was we took that into account in some extent, but I think we're actually capturing more Value in Hawaii than we did when we quoted that through that mid cycle. So I think there's improvement on the to summarize Improvement on the Hawaii side, improvement on the Montana side, both very achievable and within our control. And then overall, we'll wait and see what the market gives us.

Speaker 6

That's great. And then that's the follow-up is just talk about Hawaii. It's a unique market. It's a niche market. It's Tied into Singapore where there's been some strengthening of margins here.

Speaker 6

Just what are you seeing on the ground there? How should we think about the back half outlook for that

Speaker 2

The Hawaii business is strong and it's been stronger in the second half of the year. I think as you Noted, the first half of this quarter, we've seen improvements. I don't know that there's a major change in Singapore cracks other than just following global cracks. I mean, Singapore has been right up against the arb with Europe. And so new capacity that's been coming online has generally been flowing West to Europe, and the inventories in Singapore continue to be very tight.

Speaker 2

Frankly, inventories globally are tight. And so I I think local products, local production tends to be directed toward local supply. The Chinese have opened a couple of new refineries in the last 9 to 12 months, but those tend to be highly oriented towards the petchem market. One of their more recent Highly complex refineries, I think it was 400,000 barrels a day, but only 50,000 barrels a day was actually going to transportation fuels, the rest was routed toward petchem. And I think one of the things we're seeing is a fairly significant divergence between naphtha, which is flowing into the petrochem market and fairly weak And the transportation fuels in Asia, which and that spread probably about as wide as we've seen in terms of if you just think about the gasoline naphtha spread in Asia.

Speaker 2

And I think that's a reflection of relatively strong demand for transportation fuels in Asia and somewhat of a weakening demand in the pet Market, which is driving naphtha prices are creating a glut of naphtha in the global market.

Speaker 6

Bill, if you could build on that, how that ties into Hawaii, whether in the basis that you see in Hawaii relative to Singapore?

Speaker 2

Sure. Well, I mean, again, we generally are producing transportation fuels for our local market. So we're somewhat insulated from the naphtha market. I mean, we do on occasion get a little linked and we export and That'll happen periodically where we have a bulk sale naphtha, but for the most part, we're focused on using our reformer and our other upgrading Fastly to take all of our intermediates convert those into transportation fuels and or supplying the local heating fuel market or the energy The electricity market as you know there is fueled by fuel oil. So we're in pretty good shape and tend to That tends to enhance our capture relative to the Singapore market.

Speaker 6

Thanks, Tom.

Operator

Our next question comes from James Larkin with Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

Speaker 7

Hi, good morning. This is Jimmy Larkin filling in for Ryan Todd.

Speaker 4

Hey, good morning. Good morning, Jimmy. Hi, Jimmy.

Speaker 7

So I guess just continue on Hawaii. We've seen the landed diffs falling over the last couple of quarters. What do I see is like maybe the outlook in the back half of the year kind of going forward into 2024 for those landed differentials?

Speaker 2

You want to cover that, Will?

Speaker 3

Sure. So Jimmy, I think you're correct. Keep in mind that the Why crude differentials operate on probably a 90 day lag. So the market conditions that were in effect in the 90 day period prior to the Q3 is really what's showing up in our financials. So I think in general that's I would say the Q2 was a period of time where you probably saw some excess physical crude length Out there and overall backwardation was relatively narrow.

Speaker 3

And ultimately, we it was a good opportunity to buy in some crude and drive that diff Down into the low 5s. I think obviously the market's changed. I think as you think about the Saudi production cuts that have impacted Both medium, sour and heavy barrels quite a bit. I think probably most notable would be the differing the unique relationship we're actually seeing Five barrels trade at a premium to date of Brent, which is quite unusual given the quality differences, but it tells you where the world is today. So again, I think you're looking at a probably a tighter crude market in the back half of the year than where we've sat.

Speaker 3

And obviously, very dynamic market, and I think we'll continue to remain flexible on our crude purchasing And ensure that we balance and get the right barrels in at the best price. So I think that's probably the best guidance I can give you on the crude market and the factors to watch.

Speaker 7

Sure. Thank you. And then turning back to Montana really quick. So the capture was 134% in the quarter. I know you said that this is highly seasonal and obviously Rocky It's been quite strong.

Speaker 7

And I'm just wondering with WCS kind of rebounding even if we see Rockies moderate, what Have you guys updated your kind of base case acquisition for throughput? Have you made any Updates to kind of where you expect capture just based on that?

Speaker 4

Hi, Jimmy, it's Sean. Yes, I think our Tannen capture long term outlook is 100% to 115% range versus the Gulf Coast 321. You note the 130 4% captured in June. And I would just refer to the comments I made about Rockies Cracks relative to Gulf Coast. We saw Gasoline trade north of $20 per barrel premium to Gulf Coast in June and diesel was $40 per barrel premium.

Speaker 4

I think Since then, gasoline has traded off in the Rockies by about $5 relative to Gulf Coast and diesel North of $10 so still very, very strong cracks both Gulf Coast and Rockies, but I think we're I think June was a peak.

Speaker 7

Great. Thank you.

Operator

Our next question comes from Jason Gabelman with Cowen. Please go ahead.

Speaker 8

Hey, good morning. Sticking with the billings assets, so just to clarify, 1, Is 55,000 barrels a day a good kind of base case number moving forward on throughput? And then can you talk about OpEx as well moving forward, dollars 8 a barrel, I think, is below the acquisition case of $10 a barrel. What drove the difference? And is That $8 is a good number to think about moving forward.

Speaker 3

Sure, Jason. It's Will. I think we gave you the 3rd quarter guidance, which $52,000,000 $57,000 So I think $55,000,000 at the midpoint is reasonable based on where we sit today. On the OpEx side, the $10 per barrel number was based on a 50,000 barrel per day throughput number. So I think the majority of the improvement Really just driven by increasing the overall throughput.

Speaker 3

So if we're down in the 55 range, you're probably in the middle there It's probably the right way to think about it. So not a lot of variables in there that moves with the incremental throughput. So Obviously, another factor when you think about the value we see in driving throughput up into the low 60s.

Speaker 8

Great. And then my follow-up going back to Hawaii, it's been a beneficiary, I think, of elevated product tanker rates. Can you talk about the outlook for those rates moving forward? Have you seen them come off at all? What's been driving the strength far in the first half of the year and your outlook for the second half.

Speaker 8

Thanks.

Speaker 3

Sure. So I think on the product tanker side, yes, you've probably seen A lump sum movement of MR ship from, let's call it, Asia into the West Coast, probably peak in the $3,000,000 to $3,500,000 range or probably hovering around $2,000,000 today. It's been there for the last couple of months, so it's been stable in that range, which is still Elevated relative to history. So again, I think that's generally what we're seeing. And then overall, Ultimately, the price lag impact that we saw were we've had 3 quarters in a row of benefit of declining Crude oil prices as well as compressing diesel cracks and as we've talked about the Q3 right now, you got quite a bit of strength on both crude and diesel Cracks expanding, so which is fundamentally positive for our business.

Speaker 3

But just keep in mind, as you think about the capture dynamics, that is a factor that's been A tailwind for us for the last three quarters. So again, that's going to move quarter to quarter, but overall, still I think Have very strong capture rates in Hawaii.

Speaker 8

Do you have a sorry, just a follow-up on that. Do you have a rule of thumb how to convert that $3,500,000 to $2,000,000 into $1 per barrel as we think about the Hawaii benefit?

Speaker 3

I mean, I think it's embedded in the capture percentages, Jason. So I wouldn't give you a idiosyncratic rule of thumb to Point 2, I think there's so many pieces moving. I think we're trying to get you to a single point that ultimately Takes into account all the moving pieces that are in play.

Speaker 7

All right, great.

Speaker 8

Thanks a lot.

Operator

Our next question comes from John Royall with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Speaker 9

Hi, good morning. This is Alejandra Magana on for John Royal. We were just wondering, will any Of the working capital impact from billings, reverse in future quarters?

Speaker 4

Hi there, it's Sean. We saw a positive working capital impact in June in month end. I mentioned that in prepared remarks. Not expecting a reversal of that in Q3. If anything, I think we could see incremental benefits.

Speaker 4

I think most of the Working capital cycle flush out in June.

Speaker 9

Okay. Thank you. And switching gears, Can you just provide an update on how the Laramie business is performing year to date and the expectation of a dividend In the Q1 of next year, and how do they think about holding versus trying to monetize the stake with where the gas prices are today?

Speaker 2

Yes. Thanks for that question. Laramie's continues to perform well. I mean, obviously, gas prices have come off, but they've got Pretty good hedges in place, which tended to blunt some of the cash flows when they peaked last winter, And they're supporting the business now. As I've mentioned in the past, the distributions are probably going to be less of a function of where Prices are more a function of whether we're drilling.

Speaker 2

And we don't have a rig in the field right now. We are completing some wells and that's going well. So I Expect some production to come online for the winter. But with the lack of any development drilling In 'twenty three, I think the expectation is there would be a dividend next spring.

Operator

Got it. Thank you. Our next question comes from Manav Gupta with UBS, please go ahead.

Speaker 10

Hey guys, in the opening comments you mentioned some opportunities around Green hydrogen, can you talk a little bit more about what kind of opportunities and scope you're looking in terms of green hydrogen sourcing?

Speaker 2

Yes. So Manav, thanks for the question. We're assessing an opportunity in Washington at our Tacoma facility Using hydropower and partnering with the local municipal utility, and we would be Using that hydropower to drive an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen, which then would be used to supply The hydrogen necessary for a sustainable aviation fuel facility. We think it's a track Given the cost of the hydropower.

Speaker 10

Just a clarification, who owns the electrolyzer and who operate the electrolyzer? Will you do that or would you hire

Speaker 2

We're still assessing that, but we will certainly be an equity participant in that Electrolyzer, we may bring in a partner. We're still considering our options with respect to the development there. But it's on our property It'd be adjacent to a sustainable aviation fuel facility and we'd be operating both units.

Speaker 10

That's absolutely great to hear because we do think there is a lot of scope for green hydrogen eventually for sustainable aviation fuel or even RDs. I'm glad you're taking the leadership role in that. I have a quick follow-up for you. Billings also added some logistical assets. So how should we think about the logistics segment EBITDA run rate going forward?

Speaker 4

Manav, it's Sean. Yes. Hey Manav, it's Sean. We've signaled $35,000,000 of logistics contribution from the Montana system and that includes the refined product Terminals, our crude pipeline and the refined product pipeline that runs from Billings to Eastern Washington.

Speaker 10

Thank you so much.

Operator

Our next question is a follow-up from Jason Gabelman with Cowen. Please go ahead.

Speaker 8

Yes. Hey, I just wanted to ask about status of the Hawaii SAF project. I know you laid out some return metrics On the last call, just wondering how if those metrics are still fair to think about as you Progress the project and specifically how you're thinking about feed acquisition? Thanks.

Speaker 3

Sure, Jason. This is Will. I think the return ranges that we gave you in the past, I think still hold today. So again, I think we're targeting an IRR in the 40 And ultimately, we're targeting to sequence having the SAF plant online In 2025 in conjunction with the Hawaii broader plant turnaround. So again, a lot of work going into that today on feedstock sourcing.

Speaker 3

Again, I think we think we're in an advantaged location, largely because of the oilseed opportunity in the State of Hawaii. And then also, We believe we've got some advantages in sourcing waterborne feedstocks from Latin America. So again, I think that's ultimately going to be the solutions that we're thinking about for our feedstock strategies in Hawaii over time.

Speaker 8

Got it. Thanks.

Operator

This concludes It's a question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to William Pate for any closing remarks.

Speaker 2

Thank you, Sarah, and thank you to everybody for joining us today. I want to congratulate our team on an excellent quarter. There are a lot of opportunities within our portfolio and we look forward to sustained future growth of our earnings profile. Have a good day.
