(1) Organization and Nature of Business

CVR Refining, LP and subsidiaries ("“CVR Refining"” or the "“Partnership"”) is a refiner that does not have crude oil exploration or production operations (an "“independent petroleum refiner"”) and is a marketer of high value transportation fuels. The Partnership owns a complex full coking medium-sour crude oil refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas and a complex crude oil refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. During August 2018, CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”) completed an exchange offer whereby public unitholders tendered a total of 21,625,106 CVR Refining common units in exchange for a total of 13,699,549 shares of CVR Energy common stock. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2018, ~~Coffeyville~~CVR ~~Resources~~Energy and CVR Refining Holdings, LLC (~~"CRLLC"~~“CVR Refining Holdings”), aan indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, ~~Inc. ("CVR Energy"),~~ owned 100% of the Partnership'’s noneconomic general partner interest and approximately 6681% of the Partnership'’s outstanding limited partner interests. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2018, Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("“IEP"”) and its affiliates owned approximately 8271% of CVR Energy'’s outstanding shares. CVR Refining'’s common units, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("“NYSE"”), began trading on January 17, 2013 under the symbol "“CVRR."”

On June 18, 2018, CVR Energy commenced an offer to exchange up to 37,154,236 common units of CVR Refining for shares of CVR Energy common stock at an exchange ratio of one common unit for 0.6335 shares of CVR Energy common stock. The offer and withdrawal rights will expire on July 27, 2018 at 5:00 pm, unless the offer is extended by CVR Energy.

Management and Operations

The Partnership is party to a services agreement pursuant to which the Partnership and its general partner obtain certain management and other services from CVR Energy. The Partnership'’s general partner manages the Partnership'’s activities subject to the terms and conditions specified in CVR Refining'’s partnership agreement. The operations of the general partner, in its capacity as general partner, are managed by its board of directors. Actions by the general partner that are made in its individual capacity are made by CVR Refining Holdings, LLC ("“CVR Refining Holdings"”), a subsidiary of Coffeyville Resources, LLC (“CRLLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, as the sole member of the Partnership'’s general partner and not by the board of directors of the general partner. The members of the board of directors of the Partnership'’s general partner are not elected by the Partnership'’s unitholders and are not subject to re-election on a regular basis. The officers of the general partner manage the day-to-day affairs of the business. The Partnership also has agreements with a subsidiary of CVR Partners, LP ("“CVR Partners"”), an indirect subsidiary of CVR Energy, under which the Partnership sells petroleum coke and hydrogen to CVR Partners Coffeyville Facility. Additionally, the two parties provide feedstock and other services to one another at the Coffeyville Facility. See Note 14 ("Related Party Transactions") for further discussion.

(2) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("“GAAP"”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "“SEC"”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Refining'’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018 (the "“2017 Form 10-K"”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include certain selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) that CVR Energy and its affiliates incurred on behalf of and charged to the Partnership. These related party transactions are governed by the services agreement. See Note 14 ("Related Party Transactions") for additional discussion of the services agreement and billing of certain costs.

In the opinion of the Partnership'’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments ~~(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)~~ that are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Partnership as of ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of operations of the Partnership for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the cash flows of the Partnership for the ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. Certain information has been reclassified to present historical information in a manner consistent with current presentation.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other interim or annual period.

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Revenue Standard

On January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("“FASB"”) Accounting Standards Codification ("“ASC"”) Topic 606, "“Revenue from Contracts with Customers"” (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The standard was applied prospectively and the comparative information for 2017 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. The Partnership did not identify any material differences in its existing revenue recognition methods that require modification under the new standard and, as such, a cumulative effect adjustment of applying the standard using the modified retrospective method was not recorded.

Impact on Financial Statements

The Partnership identified a presentation change associated with a fee collected from certain customers that were previously recorded as a reduction to cost of materials and other. The particular fee, the Oil Spill Liability Tax, relates to taxes imposed on refineries as part of the crude oil procurement process, and is charged to certain of the Partnership’s customers on product sales and is required under the new standard to be included in the transaction price. The impact of the change in presentation was an increase of $1 million and $1 million to net sales and cost of materials and other for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, respectively.

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented

In February 2016, the FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update ("~~ASU") No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 842, "“Leases” (“Topic 842”)," which supersedes lease requirements in FASB ASC Topic 840, "“Leases”." The new standard revises accounting for operating leases by a lessee, among other changes, and requires a lessee to recognize a liability related to future lease payments and an asset representing its right to use of the underlying asset for the lease term inon the balance sheet. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including disclosures regarding significant judgments made by management, will be required. ~~The~~In ~~standard~~July is2018, ~~effective~~the ~~for~~FASB issued updated guidance which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt Topic 842.

The Partnership is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Partnership’s disclosures.

(4) Revenue

The following table presents the Partnership’s revenue disaggregated by major product.



(In millions)	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Major Product
Gasoline	$	951	$	2,558
Distillates (a)	840		2,324
Freight revenue	6		17
Other (b)	47		161
Revenue from product sales	1,844		5,060

Crude oil sales	12		75
Other revenue	1		4
Total revenue	$	1,857	$	5,139


(a)	Distillates consist primarily of diesel fuel, kerosene and jet fuel.


(b)	Other revenue consists primarily of feedstock and asphalt sales and Cushing, OK storage tank lease revenue. See Note 7 (Property, Plant and Equipment) for further discussion.

The Partnership’s revenue from product sales is recorded upon delivery of the products to customers, which is the point at which title is transferred and the customer has assumed the risk of loss. This generally takes place as product passes into the pipeline, as a product transfer order occurs within a pipeline system, or as product enters equipment or locations supplied or designated by the customer. The Partnership has elected to apply the sales tax practical expedient, whereby qualifying excise and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues.

Many of the Partnership’s contracts have index-based pricing which is considered variable consideration that should be estimated in determining the transaction price. The Partnership determined that it does not need to estimate the variable consideration because the uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on the pricing date or the date when the product is delivered.

The Partnership may incur broker commissions or transportation costs prior to product transfer on some of its sales. The Partnership has elected to apply the practical expedient allowing it to expense the broker costs since the contract durations are less ~~than a year in length. Transportation costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are expensed as incurred since they do not meet the requirement for capitalization.~~

The Partnership’s contracts with its customers state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product sold. Depending on the product sold, payment from customers is generally due in full within 2 to 32 days of product delivery or invoice date. The Partnership’s contracts with customers commonly include a provision which states that the Partnership will accept customer returns of off-spec product, refund the customer (or provide on-spec product), and pay for damages to any customer equipment which resulted from the off-spec product. Typically, if the customer is not satisfied with the product, the price is adjusted downward instead of the product being returned or exchanged. The Partnership has determined that product returns or refunds are very rare and will account for them as they occur. The Partnership generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specification.

Freight revenue recognized by the Partnership is primarily tariff and line loss charges that are rebilled to customers to reimburse the Partnership for expenses incurred from a pipeline operator. An offsetting expense is included in cost of materials and other.

As of June 30, 2018, approximately $41 million of revenue from remaining performance obligations is expected to be recognized from a contract with an initial duration of greater than one year. The Partnership will recognize revenue ratably each month through 2036 as the take-or-pay obligations under the Hydrogen Purchase and Sale Agreement are satisfied or expire.

The Partnership has elected an optional exemption to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year.

The Partnership does not disclose variable consideration related to index-based or market-based pricing as it qualifies for the variable consideration allocation exception under the new revenue standard. The variable consideration relates specifically to the Partnership’s efforts to transfer each unit of product to the customer in which the pricing is directly related to the period to which the sale occurs.

There have been no material changes in our commitments and contingencies disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K. In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we accrue liabilities for these matters if we have determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, we believe there would be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Crude Oil Supply Agreement

On August 31, 2012, Coffeyville Resource Refining & Marketing, LLC ("CRRM") and Vitol Inc. ("Vitol") entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the "Vitol Agreement"). Under the Vitol Agreement, Vitol supplies the petroleum business with crude oil and intermediation logistics, which helps to reduce the Partnership's inventory position and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. The Vitol Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each such term, a "Renewal Term") unless either party provides the other with notice of nonrenewal at least 180 days prior to expiration of any Renewal Term. The Vitol Agreement currently extends through December 31, 2019.

The Vitol Agreement currently extends through December 31, 2019.

Renewable Fuel Standards

CVR Refining is subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard ("“RFS"”) of the Environmental Protection Agency ("“EPA"”), which requires refiners to either blend "“renewable fuels"” in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as renewable identification numbers ("“RINs"”), in lieu of blending. Due to mandates in the RFS requiring increasing volumes of renewable fuels to replace petroleum products in the U.S. transportation fuel market, there may be a decrease in demand for petroleum products. CVR Refining is not able to blend the substantial majority of its transportation fuels and has to purchase RINs on the open market, as well as waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels from the EPA, in order to comply with the RFS.

The price of RINs has been extremely volatile over ~~the~~several ~~last year~~years. The cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels, the mix of CVR Refining'’s petroleum products, as well as the fuel blending performed at ~~our~~its refineries and downstream terminals, all of which can vary significantly from period to period.

The net cost of RINs for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $5020 million and $~~106~~64 million, respectively. The net cost of RINs for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $2747 million and $99164 million, respectively. The net cost of RINs is included in cost of materials and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. RINs expense includes the purchased cost of RINs, the impact of recognizing the Partnership’s uncommitted biofuel blending obligation at fair value based on market prices at each reporting date and is reduced by the valuation change of RINs purchases in excess of the Partnership'’s RFS obligation as of the reporting date. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, CVR Refining'’s biofuel blending obligation was approximately $167 million and $28 million, respectively, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Partnership included a RINs asset within prepaid and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $144 million, representing excess RINs primarily due to a reduction in its RFS obligation during the first quarter of 2018.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("“ASC 820"”), the Partnership utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.

ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities


•	Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities)

• Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including CVR Refining'’s own assumptions in determining the fair value)

12The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the only financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are CVR Refining's derivative instruments and uncommitted biofuel blending obligation. Additionally, the fair value of the debt issuances is disclosed in Note 8 ("Long-Term Debt"). The commodity derivative contracts and the uncommitted biofuel blending obligation, which use fair value measurements and are valued using broker quoted market prices of similar instruments, are considered Level 2 inputs. CVR Refining had no transfers of assets or liabilities between any of the above levels during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments

CVR Refining is subject to price fluctuations caused by supply conditions, weather, economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors. To manage price risk on crude oil and other inventories and to fix margins on certain future production, CVR Refining from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions. CVR Refining does not apply hedge accounting with respect to derivative instruments held. Gains or losses related to the change in fair value and periodic settlements of these derivative instruments are classified as gain (loss) on derivatives, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

CVR Refining has adopted accounting standards which impose extensive record-keeping requirements in order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a hedge. CVR Refining holds derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil futures and certain over-the-counter forward swap agreements, which it believes provide an economic hedge on future transactions, but such instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP. There are no premiums paid or received at inception of the derivative contracts and upon settlement.

CVR Refining enters into commodity swap contracts in order to fix the margin on a portion of future production. Additionally, CVR Refining may enter into price and basis swaps in order to fix the price on a portion of its commodity purchases and product sales. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. The contract fair value of the commodity swaps is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value currently recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 2) are considered to determine the fair values for the purpose of marking to market the hedging instruments at each period end. A change of $1.00 per barrel in the fair value of the benchmark crude or product basis would result in an increase or decrease in the related fair value of the commodity instruments and forward purchase and sale commitments of $2.0 million.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The commodity swap agreements discussed above include multiple derivative positions with a number of counterparties for which CVR Refining has entered into agreements governing the nature of the derivative transactions. Each of the counterparty agreements provides for the right to setoff each individual derivative position to arrive at the net receivable due from the counterparty or payable owed by CVR Refining. As a result of the right to setoff, CVR Refining's recognized assets and liabilities associated with the outstanding commodity swap derivative positions have been presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The tables below outline the gross amounts of the recognized assets and liabilities and the gross amounts offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the various types of open derivative positions.

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 2) are considered to determine the fair values for the purpose of marking to market the hedging instruments at each period end. The fair value of the outstanding contracts at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was a net unrealized loss of $30 million and $64 million, respectively, all of which was included in other current liabilities. A change of $1.00 per barrel in the fair value of the benchmark crude or product basis would result in an increase or decrease in the related fair value of the commodity instruments and forward purchase and sale commitments of $1 million.

Partnership Overview

CVR Refining, LP ("“CVR Refining,"” the "“Partnership,"” "“we,"” "“us"” or "“our"”) is an independent downstream energy limited partnership with refining and related logistics assets that operates two of only seven refineries in Group 3 of the PADD II region of the United States. We own and operate a complex full coking medium-sour crude oil refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas with a capacity of 132,000 barrels per calendar day ("“bpcd"”) and a complex crude oil refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma with a capacity of 74,500 bpcd capable of processing 20,000 bpcd of light sour crude oils (within its capacity of 74,500 bpcd). In addition, we also control and operate supporting logistics assets throughout our operational area. Refer to our ~~Annual~~2017 ~~Report on~~ Form 10-K for ~~the year ended December 31, 2017 for~~ further information on our assets and related operations.

Major Influences on Results of Operations

Our earnings and cash flows are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed and blended into petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, that are produced by a refinery ("“refined products"”). The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price for which refined products are ultimately sold depend on factors beyond our control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, as well as gasoline and other refined products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulation. Because we apply first-in, first-out ("“FIFO"”) accounting to value our inventory, crude oil price movements may impact net income in the short term because of changes in the value of our unhedged on-hand inventory. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on our results of operations is influenced by the rate at which the prices of refined products adjust to reflect these changes.

The prices of crude oil and other feedstocks and refined products are also affected by other factors, such as product pipeline capacity, local market conditions and the operating levels of competing refineries. Crude oil costs and the prices of refined products have historically been subject to wide fluctuations. Widespread expansion or upgrades of our competitors'’ facilities, price volatility, international political and economic developments and other factors are likely to continue to play an important role in refining industry economics. These factors can impact, among other things, the level of inventories in the market, resulting in price volatility and a reduction in product margins. Moreover, the refining industry typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand for refined products, such as increases in the demand for gasoline during the summer driving season and for volatile seasonal exports of diesel from the United States Gulf Coast markets.

In addition to current market conditions, there are long-term factors that may impact the demand for refined products. These factors include mandated renewable fuels standards, proposed climate change laws and regulations and increased mileage standards for vehicles. We are also subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard ("“RFS"”) of the Environmental Protection Agency ("“EPA"”), which requires us to either blend "“renewable fuels"” in with our transportation fuels or purchase renewable identification numbers ("“RINs"”), in lieu of blending, by March 31, 2019 or otherwise be subject to penalties. The cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels, the mix of our products, as well as the fuel blending performed at our refineries and downstream terminals, all of which can vary significantly from period to period. Based upon recent market prices of RINs and current estimates related to other variable factors, we currently estimate that the net cost of RINs will be approximately $60 - $65 million for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Our refineries generally require a facility turnaround every four to five years. The length of the turnaround is contingent upon the scope of work to be completed. The next turnaround scheduled for the Wynnewood refinery is being performed as a two phase turnaround. The first phase of its current turnaround was completed in November 2017 at a total cost of approximately $67 million. The second phase of the Wynnewood turnaround is expected to occur in the first half of 2019. Turnaround expenses associated with the second phase of the Wynnewood turnaround are estimated to be approximately $25 million. In addition to the two phase turnaround, we accelerated certain planned turnaround activities in the first quarter of 2017 on the hydrocracker unit for a catalyst change-out. We incurred approximately $13 million of major turnaround expenses for the hydrocracker. The next turnaround scheduled for the Coffeyville refinery is expected to be performed in the ~~second~~first half of 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to analyze operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include performance and liquidity measures along with certain key operating metrics.

Performance and Liquidity Measures

We use the following performance and liquidity measures:

EBITDA. EBITDA is a performance measure representing net income ~~(loss)~~ before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure representing EBITDA adjusted for (i) (favorable) unfavorable FIFO impacts associated with our crude oil and refined product inventories, (ii) major turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude from their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA), (iii) (gain) loss on derivatives, net and (iv) current period settlements on derivative contracts. Adjusted EBITDA represents the starting point for determining of available cash for distribution. Refer to discussion below for the Refining margin, adjusted for FIFO impact non-GAAP measure for discussion of why management adjusted for the FIFO impact of our inventories. We exclude major turnaround expenses because these amounts are required expenditures for our refineries, are not closely related to current period operations, and many of our peer companies capitalize these amounts thereby excluding these amounts from their EBITDA-related measures. For derivatives, we adjust EBITDA to exclude the unrealized or non-cash portion of our derivative gain or loss from our results in order to arrive at our starting point for available cash for distribution.

Refining margin. This performance measure represents the difference between net sales and cost of materials and other as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Refining margin, adjusted for FIFO impact. This performance measure represents our refining margin adjusted to exclude the impact of price changes in our crude oil and refined products inventories. Under our FIFO accounting method for crude oil and refined products, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our raw material, work in process and finished good inventories, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices decrease. In periods of significant price volatility, these price changes have a significant impact on the valuation on our inventories and thus our results.

Available cash for distribution. This performance and liquidity measure is equal to Adjusted EBITDA reduced for cash needed for (i) debt service, (ii) reserves for environmental and maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) reserves for major turnaround expenses and, to the extent applicable, (iv) reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate, if any. Available cash for distribution (if any) may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner.

Operating Metrics

During the second quarter of 2018, we changed the metrics discussed below from a crude oil throughput barrel basis to a total throughput barrel basis. Prior period information has been revised to conform to current presentation.

18Refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact per total throughput barrel. For both refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact, we present these measures on a per total throughput barrel basis. In order to calculate

Table of Contents

~~Refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact per total throughput barrel. For both refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact, we present~~ these ~~measures on a per total throughput barrel basis. In order to calculate these~~ non-GAAP operating metrics, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact, as derived above and divide by the applicable number of total throughput barrels for the period.

Direct operating expenses, excluding major turnaround expenses, per total throughput barrel. We provide this performance measure to exclude major turnaround expenses from the reported amounts of direct operating expense during a given period. Major turnaround expenses are required are not directly correlated to our current period operations and thus excluding them provides investors and analysts with the current period cost, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, we incur to convert a barrel of crude oil into refined product.

We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Refining Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 our refining margin was $271 million, as compared to $130 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the higher crack spreads experienced in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Refining margin was positively impacted by an increase in sales of $486 million, or 36.3%,which was largely the result of higher sales prices for our transportation fuels and by-products, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes. Overall sales volumes decreased approximately 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Refining margin was negatively impacted by an increase in cost of material and other of $345 million, or 28.6%, which was primarily the result of increases in the cost of consumed crude oil, feedstocks, and refined products purchased for resale. The increase in consumed crude oil costs was due to an increase in crude oil prices, partially offset by a decrease in throughput volumes of crude oil. The WTI benchmark crude price for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately 41.0% and our crude oil throughput volume decreased by approximately 3.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in cost of other feedstocks was primarily due to an increase in purchase prices of NGL’s for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in costs of refined products purchased for resale was due to increased volumes and higher prices for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Under the FIFO method of accounting, changes in crude oil prices can also cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable or unfavorable FIFO inventory impact when crude oil prices increase or decrease. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had a favorable FIFO inventory impact of $22 million compared to an unfavorable FIFO inventory impact of $15 million for the comparable period of 2017.

Refining margin per barrel of total throughput increased to $13.71 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $6.45 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflecting a stronger margin environment in 2018. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact was $12.61 per total throughput barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $7.21 per total throughput barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $21.43 per barrel, an increase of approximately 29.2% over the NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread of $16.59 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2017. However, the Group 3 gasoline and distillate basis remained largely similar period over period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization). Selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of approximately $3 million was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expense due to an increase in the market value of the Partnership's common units coupled with an increase in labor expense due to increased headcount.

Loss on asset disposals. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a $5 million net loss on asset disposals related to the cancellation of certain incomplete, non-strategic capital projects.

Gain on Derivatives, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a $10 million net gain on derivatives, as compared to no net gain (loss) on derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This change was primarily due to an increase in the volume of derivative positions in 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Additionally, the market fluctuations associated with our derivative positions can materially impact our gain or loss on derivatives.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Refining Margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 our refining margin was $511 million, as compared to $353 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the higher crack spreads experienced in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Refining margin was positively impacted by an increase in sales of $520 million, or 18.8%, which was largely the result of higher sales prices for our transportation fuels and by-products, partially offset by decreased sales volumes. Overall sales volumes decreased approximately 9.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were impacted by decreased production as a result of the fluid catalytic cracking unit ("FCCU") outage at the Coffeyville refinery for approximately 48 days during the first quarter of 2018. Refining margin was negatively impacted by an increase in cost of materials and other, of $362 million, or 15.0%, which was primarily the result of increases in the cost of consumed crude oil and refined products purchased for resale partially offset by decreases in the cost of other feedstocks and RINs. The increase in consumed crude oil costs was due to an increase in crude oil prices, partially offset by a decrease in crude oil throughput volume. The WTI benchmark crude price for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately 31.1% over the comparable period. Our crude oil throughput volume decreased by approximately 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily to manage FCC feedstock inventory during the FCC unit

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Refining Margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread increased by $2.15 per barrel, primarily due to an improved distillate crack. The Group 3 2-1-1 also improved in 2018 by $2.51 compared to the same period last year, again driven largely by the distillate crack. The crude oil that our refineries acquire and process had widened discounts versus WTI for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. WCS and Midland crude supply availability and take-away constraints widened the discounts to WTI by $12.35 and $7.15 per barrel, respectively. In addition, the weighted average price of RINs declined by $0.33 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 our refining margin was $824 million or $14.50 per throughput barrel, as compared to $624 million or $10.32 per throughput barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to increased refined product crack spreads and reduced RINs expense, offset by reduced sales volumes. Overall sales volumes decreased approximately 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to decreased production as a result of the fluid catalytic cracking unit (“FCCU”) outage at the Coffeyville refinery during the first quarter of 2018, offset by improved sales volume in the third quarter of 2018 as volume reduced in 2017 in preparation of the Wynnewood turnaround.

Direct Operating Expenses (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization). Direct Operating Expenses (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization) were $272 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $308 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease of approximately $36 million was primarily due to a decrease in major scheduled turnaround in late September in 2017.

Gain (loss) on derivatives, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a $75 million net gain on derivatives, as compared to a $5 million net loss on derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This change was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of open derivative positions in from 16 million barrels as of September 30, 2017 to 2 million barrels as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, the market fluctuations associated with our derivative positions can materially impact our gain or loss on derivatives.

(a)

FIFO is our basis for determining inventory value under GAAP. Changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices decrease. The FIFO impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period. In order to derive the FIFO impact per total throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for the FIFO impact and divide by the number of total throughput barrels for the period.


(b)	Represents expense associated with major turnaround activities at the Wynnewood refinery during 2017.

(c) Represents the portion of gain on derivatives, net related to contracts that matured during the respective periods and settled with counterparties. There are no premiums paid or received at the inception of the derivative contracts. ~~and~~Upon ~~upon~~ settlement, there is no cost recovery associated with these contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash are for working capital, capital expenditures, funding our debt service obligations and paying distributions to our unitholders, as discussed further below.

We believe that our cash flows from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents, along with borrowings, as necessary, under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility and the $150 million intercompany credit facility, will be sufficient to satisfy the anticipated cash requirements associated with our existing operations for at least the next 12 months. However, future capital expenditures and other cash requirements could be higher than we currently expect as a result of various factors. Additionally, our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities depends on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control.

Our general partner'’s current policy is to distribute an amount equal to the available cash we generate each quarter to our unitholders. As a result, we will rely primarily upon external financing sources, including commercial bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund our acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures. To the extent we are unable to finance our growth externally, the growth in our business, and our liquidity, may be negatively impacted. There have been no material changes in liquidity from our 2017 Form 10-K. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its debt instruments as of ~~June~~September 30, 2018.

Cash ~~Balance~~ and Other Liquidity

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~258~~398 million~~. Working capital at June 30~~, ~~2018 was~~ $~~391~~394 million, ~~consisting~~available ofunder ~~$843~~our ~~million~~ABL inCredit ~~current~~Facility ~~assets~~ and $~~452~~150 million inavailable ~~current~~under ~~liabilities.~~the ~~Working~~intercompany ~~capital~~credit atfacility ~~December 31,~~for ~~2017~~total ~~was~~liquidity ~~$218 million, consisting~~ of $~~700~~754 million inas ~~current assets and $482 million in current liabilities. As~~ of ~~July~~September 24, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $321 million. In addition, we have two credit facilities, the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility and the Intercompany Credit Facility, which have no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2018 ~~and provided for $544 million of available liquidity~~.

Capital Spending

We divide our capital spending needs into two categories: ~~growth~~maintenance and ~~maintenance~~growth. Maintenance capital spending includes only non-discretionary maintenance projects and projects required to comply with environmental, health and safety regulations. We undertake discretionary capital spending based on the expected return on incremental capital employed. Discretionary capital projects generally involve an expansion of existing capacity, improvement in product yields and/or a reduction in direct operating expenses. Product yield is the percentage of refined products that is produced from crude oil and other feedstocks. Major turnaround expenses are expensed when incurred.

The following table summarizes our total actual capital expenditures for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and current estimated capital expenditures for the full year 2018 by major category. These estimates may change as a result of unforeseen circumstances or a change in our plans, and amounts may not be spent in the manner allocated below:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2018						Full Year 2018 Estimate
	September 30, 2018						Full Year 2018 Estimate

Total	$	9	$	23	$	32	$	20		$	110	$	130

Our estimated capital expenditures are subject to change due to unanticipated changes in the cost, scope and completion time for our capital projects. For example, we may experience increases/decreases in labor or equipment costs necessary to comply with government regulations or to complete projects that sustain or improve the profitability of our refineries. We may also accelerate or defer some capital expenditures from time to time.

The positive cash flow ~~discussion,~~from weoperating ~~define~~activities ~~trade~~generated ~~working~~over ~~capital~~this asperiod ~~accounts~~was ~~receivable,~~primarily ~~inventory~~driven ~~and~~by ~~accounts~~net ~~payable~~income of $439 million. ~~Other~~Upon ~~working~~adjustment ~~capital~~for isnon-cash ~~defined~~depreciation asand ~~all~~amortization ~~other~~of ~~current~~$101 ~~assets~~million, ~~and~~net ~~liabilities~~income ~~except~~was reduced by an increase of $26 million in trade working capital ~~and~~during ~~commodity~~the ~~derivatives~~first ~~unrealized~~nine ~~positions~~months of 2018.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were approximately $258 million. The positive cash flow from operating activities generated over this period was primarily driven by net income of $265 million. Upon adjustment for non-cash depreciation and amortization of $67 million, net income was reduced by an increase of $74 million in working capital during the first six months of 2018.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 was $3149 million compared to $4967 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017. Cash flows related to investing activities decreased primarily as a result of lower capital expenditures of $16 million in the ~~first~~nine ~~half~~months ofended September 30, 2018 ~~and~~partially offset by a ~~contribution~~return toof ~~the~~capital ~~VPP~~from our joint ~~venture~~ventures of $1 million ~~in the first quarter of 2017~~.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $~~143~~241 million and $1 million, respectively, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 and 2017. The net cash used in financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to distributions to common unit holders of $~~142~~239 million. There were no distributions for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017.

As of and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018, there were no borrowings or repayments under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility or under the intercompany credit facility.
