Appendix
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Company also uses non-GAAP
financial measures as discussed below, which are reconciled to GAAP-based results. 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.
6
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (cont'd)
Adjusted net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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. Adjusted
net income (loss) per diluted share represents adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income represents net
income, as adjusted, that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income attributable to CVR Energy stockholders before consolidated (i) interest expense and other financing
costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling
interest. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for consolidated (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) major
scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude from their measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA),(iv) (gain) loss
on derivatives, net, (v) current period settlements on derivative contracts, (vi) flood insurance recovery, (vii) business interruption insurance recovery and (viii) expenses
associated with the East Dubuque Merger, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. 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
enable 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. Prior to 2016, EBITDA was also adjusted for share-based compensation expense in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Beginning in 2016, share-
based compensation expense is no longer utilized as an adjustment to derive Adjusted EBITDA as no equity-settled awards remain outstanding for CVR Energy or
any of its subsidiaries, and CVR Partners and CVR Refining are responsible for reimbursing CVR Energy for their allocated portion of all outstanding awards.
Management believes, based on the nature, classification and cash settlement feature of the currently outstanding awards, that it is no longer necessary to adjust
EBITDA for share-based compensation expense to derive Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA represent EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable
to CVR Energy stockholders.
Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA by operating segment represents 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 by operating segment represents EBITDA
by operating segment adjusted for, as applicable (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) share-based compensation, non-cash; (iii) loss on extinguishment of
debt; (iv) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude from their measure of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA);
(v) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (vi) current period settlements on derivative contracts; (vii) flood insurance recovery; (viii) expenses associated with the East
Dubuque Merger and (ix) business interruption insurance recovery. 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment are not recognized terms under
GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment
enable investors to better understand CVR Refining’s and CVR Partners' ability to make distributions to their common unitholders, help investors evaluate our ongoing
operating results and allow 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.

of the currently outstanding awards, that it is no longer necessary to adjust for share-based compensation expense to derive Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015
would have been $461.2 million and $486.0 million, respectively, without adjusting for share-based compensation expense of $12.3 million and $12.8 million, respectively.
