NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) Organization and Nature of Business
Organization
CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy,” “CVR,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining, LP (the “Petroleum Segment” or “CVR Refining”) and CVR Partners, LP (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment” or “CVR Partners”). CVR Refining is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia. CVR’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CVI.” Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates (“IEP”) owned approximately 71% of the Company’s outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2020.
CVR Partners, LP
As of June 30, 2020, public security holders held approximately 65% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and CVR Services, LLC (“CVR Services”) (formerly Coffeyville Resources, LLC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 35% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. In addition, CVR Services held 100% of CVR Partners’ general partner, CVR GP, LLC, which held a non-economic general partner interest in CVR Partners as of June 30, 2020. Following the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in CVR Refining in January 2019, the noncontrolling interest reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of CVR is only impacted by the net income of, and distributions from, CVR Partners.
On April 20, 2020, the average closing price of CVR Partners’ common units over a 30 consecutive trading-day period fell below $1.00 per common unit, resulting in noncompliance with the continued listing compliance standards in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listing Company Manual. CVR Partners received written notification of this noncompliance from the NYSE on April 22, 2020, and currently has until January 1, 2021 to regain compliance or be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures. See the Form 8-K filed by CVR Partners with the SEC on April 24, 2020 for further discussion. As of June 30, 2020, the average closing price of CVR Partners’ common units over a consecutive 30 trading-day period has remained below $1.00 per common unit. CVR Partners currently intends to monitor the closing price of its common units and consider available options if its common units do not trade at a level likely to result in CVR Partners regaining compliance with Section 802.01C by January 1, 2021. These options could include, but are not limited to, additional repurchases of common units, reverse unit splits, or other actions.
On May 6, 2020, the board of directors of CVR Partners’ general partner (the “UAN GP Board”), on behalf of CVR Partners, authorized a unit repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”). The Unit Repurchase Program enables CVR Partners to repurchase up to $10 million of its common units. Repurchases under the Unit Repurchase Program may be made from time-to-time through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price, and amount of repurchases (if any) will be made at the discretion of management of CVR Partners’ general partner and are subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory, and other considerations. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate CVR Partners to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by the UAN GP Board at any time. On May 20, 2020, CVR Partners entered into a common unit repurchase agreement, pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate the repurchase of its common units and which CVR Partners may terminate at any time by providing written notice. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, CVR Partners repurchased 890,218 common units on the open market at a cost of $1.0 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $1.07 per common unit. At June 30, 2020, CVR Partners had $9.0 million in authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program.
As a result of these repurchases, and the resulting change in CVR Energy’s ownership of CVR Partners while maintaining control, CVR Energy recognized an increase of $1.2 million to additional paid-in capital from the reduction of non-controlling interests totaling $1.6 million and the recognition of a deferred tax liability totaling $0.4 million from changes in its book versus tax basis in CVR Partners.

(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, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Partners, which is defined as a variable interest entity.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.
Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Catalyst inventory with a value of $17 million as of December 31, 2019 was reclassified during the first quarter of 2020 to Other long-term assets to conform to 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, 2020 or any other interim or annual period.
(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Credit Losses Standard
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss model for more timely recognition of expected impairment losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Fair Value Measurement Standard
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s disclosures.
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and modifies other areas of the topic to clarify the application of GAAP. Certain amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. This standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but does not currently expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company does not intend to early adopt this ASU.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU was issued because, by the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is used globally by all types of entities. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued, as well as other interest
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
rates used globally. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional expedients for contract modifications under Topics 310, 470, 842, and 815-15, excluded components of certain hedging relationships, fair value hedges, and cash flow hedges, as well as certain exceptions, which are intended to help ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from these reference rates. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
(4) Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | June 30, 2020 | | December 31, 2019 |
Finished goods | $ | 100 | | | $ | 177 | |
Raw materials | 73 | | | 112 | |
In-process inventories | 15 | | | 18 | |
Parts, supplies and other | 64 | | | 66 | |
Total inventories | $ | 252 | | | $ | 373 | |
The carrying amounts of the Petroleum Segment’s inventories exceeded their net realizable value (market value) by $58 million resulting in the recognition of a lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment as of March 31, 2020. The $58 million loss represents the difference between the carrying value of the Petroleum Segment’s inventories accounted for using the first-in-first-out method and selling prices for refined products subsequent to March 31, 2020. No adjustment was necessary as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
(5) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Total property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 2,294 | | | $ | 2,336 | |
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not identified the existence of an impairment indicator for our long-lived asset groups as outlined under ASC 360.
(6) Goodwill
One of the reporting units associated with our Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s Coffeyville, Kansas facility (the “Coffeyville Facility”) had a goodwill balance of $41 million at December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, following the completion of the spring planting season, the market pricing for ammonia and UAN, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s two primary products, experienced significant pricing declines driven by updated market expectations around supply and demand fundamentals which are currently expected to continue into the second half of 2020. Additionally, significant uncertainty remains as to the nature and extent of impacts to be seen on the overall demand for corn and soybean given reduced ethanol production and broader economic conditions which may negatively impact demand. Therefore in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020, given the pricing declines experienced in the second quarter of 2020, further muting of our near-term economic recovery assumptions, and market price performance of CVR
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
Partners’ common units, the Company concluded an impairment indicator was present and a triggering event under ASC 350 had occurred as of June 30, 2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill are employed and include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and cost of capital. Based on the interim quantitative analysis, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $41 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
(7) Leases
Lease Overview
We lease certain pipelines, storage tanks, railcars, office space, land, and equipment across our refining, fertilizer and corporate operations. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments which are adjusted periodically for factors such as inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, we do not have any material lessor or sub-leasing arrangements.

On July 31, 2020, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC (“CRNF”), a subsidiary of CVR Partners, and Messer LLC (“Messer”) entered into an On-Site Product Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, among other obligations, Messer is obligated to supply and make certain capital improvements during the term of the Agreement, and CRNF is obligated to take as available and pay for, oxygen, nitrogen, and compressed dry air from Messer’s facility. This arrangement for CRNFs purchase of oxygen, nitrogen, and dry air from Messer does not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842, as CRNF does not expect to receive substantially all of the output of Messer’s on-site production from its air separation unit over
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
the life of the Agreement. The Agreement also obligates Messer to install a new oxygen storage vessel and related equipment to be used solely by the Coffeyville Facility. This arrangement for the use of the oxygen storage vessel and related equipment meets the definition of a lease under ASC 842, as CRNF will receive all output associated with the vessel. Based on terms outlined in the Agreement, the Company expects the lease of the oxygen storage vessel to be classified as a financing lease with an amount between $20 and $25 million being capitalized upon lease commencement when the oxygen storage vessel is placed in service.

Petroleum Segment
The Petroleum Segment’s revenue from product sales is recorded upon delivery 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. Qualifying excise and other taxes collected from the Petroleum Segment’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues.
Many of the Petroleum Segment’s contracts have index-based pricing which is considered variable consideration that should be estimated in determining the transaction price. The Petroleum Segment 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 Petroleum Segment may incur broker commissions or transportation costs prior to product transfer on some of its sales. The Petroleum Segment expenses these broker costs, since the contract durations are less than a year. Transportation costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are expensed as incurred since they do not meet the requirement for capitalization.
The Petroleum Segment’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 Petroleum Segment generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specification. The Petroleum Segment has determined that product returns or refunds are very rare and will account for them as they occur.
Freight revenue recognized by the Petroleum Segment is primarily tariff and line loss charges rebilled to customers to reimburse the Petroleum Segment for expenses incurred from a pipeline operator. An offsetting expense is included in Cost of materials and other.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment sells its products on a wholesale basis under a contract or by purchase order. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s contracts with customers generally contain fixed pricing and most have terms of less than one year. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. The customer acceptance point is stated in the contract and may be

(unaudited)
at one of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s manufacturing facilities, at one of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s off-site loading facilities, or at the customer’s designated facility. Freight revenue recognized by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment represents the pass-through finished goods delivery costs incurred prior to customer acceptance and is reimbursed by customers. An offsetting expense for freight is included in Cost of materials and other. Qualifying excise and other taxes collected from the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues.
Depending on the product sold and the type of contract, payments from customers are generally either due prior to delivery or within 15 to 30 days of product delivery.
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specifications. Product returns are rare, and as such, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment does not record a specific warranty reserve or consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation.
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment has an immaterial amount of variable consideration for contracts with an original duration of less than a year. A small portion of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s revenue includes contracts extending beyond one year, some of which contain variable pricing in which the majority of the variability is attributed to the market-based pricing. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s contracts do not contain a significant financing component.
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment has an immaterial amount of fee-based revenue, included in other revenue in the table above, that is recognized based on the net amount of the proceeds received, consistent with prior accounting practice.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
As of June 30, 2020, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment had approximately $8 million of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment expects to recognize approximately $1 million of these performance obligations as revenue by the end of 2020, an additional $3 million in 2021, and the remaining balance thereafter. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment has elected 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 Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment has elected to not disclose variable consideration allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations that are based on market prices that have not yet been determined.
Contract balances
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s deferred revenue is a contract liability that primarily relates to nitrogen fertilizer sales contracts requiring customer prepayment prior to product delivery to guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer. Deferred revenue is recorded at the point in time in which a prepaid contract is legally enforceable and the associated right to consideration is unconditional prior to transferring product to the customer. An associated receivable is recorded for uncollected prepaid contract amounts. Contracts requiring prepayment are generally short-term in nature and, as discussed above, revenue is recognized at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product.
A summary of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s deferred revenue activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is presented below:

(11) Derivative Financial Instruments, Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Financial Instruments
Our segments are 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, the Petroleum Segment from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions. On a regular basis, the Company enters into commodity contracts with counterparties for the purchases or sale of crude oil, blendstocks, various finished products, and RINs. The contracts usually qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception and follow the accrual method of accounting. All other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value using mark-to-market accounting on a periodic basis utilizing third-party pricing.
The Petroleum Segment holds derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil futures and 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 or upon settlement. The Petroleum Segment may enter into forward purchase or sale contracts associated with RINs. As of June 30, 2020, the Petroleum Segment had open fixed-price commitments to purchase a net 5 million RINs.
Commodity derivatives include commodity swaps and forward purchase and sale commitments. There were no outstanding commodity swap positions as of June 30, 2020. There were approximately 2 million forward purchase commitments and 1 million forward sale commitments as of June 30, 2020.
The following outlines the gains recognized on the Company’s derivative activities, all of which are recorded in Cost of materials and other on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company 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 the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value)
The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

obligation. The Petroleum Segment’s commodity derivative contracts and RFS obligation, which use fair value measurements and are valued using broker quoted market prices of similar instruments, are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company had no transfers of assets or liabilities between any of the above levels during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies
Except as described below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s commitments and contingencies disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K. In the ordinary course of business, the Company 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 the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has 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, the Company believes there would be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company is continuing to evaluate its contractual arrangements and customer, vendor, and supplier relationships to determine whether and to what extent, if any, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or recent crude oil or refined product price volatility will impair or excuse the performance of the Company or its subsidiaries or their customers, vendors, or suppliers under existing agreements. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not experienced a material financial impact from any actual or threatened impairment of or excuse in its or others’ performance under such agreements.
Crude Oil Supply Agreement
On August 31, 2012, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Petroleum Segment and Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”) entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the “Crude Oil Supply Agreement”). Under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, Vitol supplies the Petroleum Segment with crude oil and intermediation logistics helping to reduce the amount of inventory held at certain locations and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. Volumes contracted under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, as a percentage of the total crude oil purchases (in barrels), was approximately 38% and 40% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 28% and 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Crude Oil Supply Agreement, which currently extends through December 31, 2021, automatically renews 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.
RFS
The Petroleum Segment is subject to the RFS of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that require refiners to either blend renewable fuels in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as RINs, in lieu of blending. The Petroleum Segment is not able to blend the substantial majority of its transportation fuels and has to purchase RINs on the open market, and may have to obtain waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels from the EPA, in order to comply with the RFS.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense of approximately $16 million and $21 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense of approximately $35 million and $33 million, respectively, for the Petroleum Segment’s compliance with the RFS. The recognized amounts are included within Cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s costs to comply with the RFS include the recognition of the Petroleum Segment’s biofuel blending obligation based on the purchased cost of RINs or the fair value of the obligation for which RINs have not been purchased, based on market prices at each reporting date, and the valuation change of RINs acquired in excess of its RFS obligation as of the reporting date.
Tax Matters
On March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), an economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains several corporate income tax provisions, including a five-year carry back of net operating losses generated in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, an increase in the amount of deductible interest and deferral of certain employer payroll taxes otherwise required to be paid in 2020. The Company will continue to monitor the impact the CARES Act and any related legislation will have on its current and certain prior period tax returns.
Litigation
The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York contacted CVR Energy in September 2017 seeking production of information pertaining to CVR Refining’s, CVR Energy’s and Mr. Carl C. Icahn’s activities relating to the RFS and Mr. Icahn’s former role as an advisor to the President of the United States. CVR Energy cooperated with the request and provided information in response to the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney’s office has not made any claims or allegations against CVR Energy or Mr. Icahn. CVR Energy believes it maintains a strong compliance program and, while no assurances can be made, CVR Energy does not believe this inquiry will have a material impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2020, in advance of the June 30, 2020 expiration of the tolling agreement previously entered into by Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC (“CRRM”) with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) (on behalf of the EPA) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“KDHE”), CRRM received a demand letter from the EPA and KDHE alleging violations of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and CRRM’s 2012 Consent Decree (“CD”) relating to CRRM’s Coffeyville refinery (the “Coffeyville Refinery”), and seeking certain penalties in connection therewith. CRRM is evaluating this matter, including the dispute resolution and related provisions of the CD regarding such allegations. At this time, this matter has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, and the Company cannot yet reasonably estimate the full impact that may result from this matter or any subsequent enforcement or litigation relating thereto.
In April 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit (the “10th Circuit”) denied the petitions of Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (“WRC”) and others seeking rehearing en banc of the January 2020 decision of a three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit vacating three small refinery exemptions (“SREs”) under the RFS program under the CAA, including one issued to WRC’s Wynnewood refinery (the “Wynnewood Refinery”) for 2017, and remanding the matter back to the EPA for further proceedings. WRC currently intends to file a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the “Supreme Court”) on or before September 4, 2020. As it is not yet clear whether this matter will be heard by the Supreme Court, or what steps the EPA will take with respect to SREs, we cannot currently estimate the outcome, impact, or timing of resolution of this matter.
On April 6, 2020, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, CVR Refining and its general partner, CVR Refining Holdings, IEP, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer by purported former unitholders of CVR Refining on behalf of themselves and an alleged class of similarly situated unitholders relating to the Company’s exercise of the call option under the CVR Refining Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership assigned to it by CVR Refining’s general partner. This lawsuit, which primarily alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and seeks monetary damages and attorney’s fees, among other remedies, is in addition to the nine lawsuits consolidated in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware related to the Company’s exercise of the call option. The Company believes all of these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. As these lawsuits are in the early stages of litigation, the Company cannot determine at this time the outcome of the lawsuits, including whether the outcome would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(14) Business Segments
CVR Energy’s revenues are derived from two operating segments: the Petroleum Segment and the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on segment operating income and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”). For the purposes of the operating segment disclosure, the Company presents operating income as it is the most comparable measure to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The other amounts reflect intercompany eliminations, corporate cash and cash equivalents, income tax activities, and other corporate activities that are not allocated to the operating segments.

(1)See below for a summary of the dividends paid to IEP for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019.
Agency Arrangement with IEP
On February 4, 2020, CVR Energy and Icahn Enterprises Holdings LP (“IEH”), a subsidiary of IEP, entered into an agency arrangement wherein IEH would act as the agent for CVR Energy. Under this arrangement, the Company invested approximately $140 million in certain marketable securities of Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Delek”) (NYSE ticker symbol: DK) and could make additional investments in Delek or invest in other public companies in the future under this arrangement. The Company reimbursed IEH for all costs associated with the initial purchase and did not incur any additional fees as part of this transaction.
Property Exchange
On October 22, 2019, the Audit Committee of CVR Energy’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Conflicts Committee of the UAN GP Board each agreed to authorize the exchange of certain parcels of property owned by CRRM with an equal number of parcels owned by CRNF, all located in Coffeyville, Kansas (the “Property Exchange”). On February 19, 2020, CRRM and CRNF executed the Property Exchange agreement. This Property Exchange will enable each such subsidiary to create a more usable, contiguous parcel of land near its own operating footprint. This transaction resulted in no net impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview
CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy,” “CVR,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through our holdings in CVR Refining and CVR Partners, respectively. CVR Refining 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. CVR Partners produces nitrogen fertilizers in the form of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”). Ammonia is a direct application fertilizer and is primarily used as a building block for other nitrogen products for industrial applications and finished fertilizer products. UAN is an aqueous solution of urea and ammonium nitrate. At June 30, 2020, we owned the general partner and approximately 35% of the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in CVR Partners. As of June 30, 2020, Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates (“IEP”) owned approximately 71% of our outstanding common stock.
We operate under two business segments: petroleum and nitrogen fertilizer, which are referred to in this document as our “Petroleum Segment” and our “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment,” respectively.

Industry Factors
General Business Environment
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by governments and others in response thereto has and continues to negatively impact the worldwide economy, financial markets, and the energy industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business closures, liquidity strains, destruction of non-essential demand, as well as supply chain challenges, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, and limitations on the availability of the workforce. As a result of these factors, the regional demand for gasoline and diesel for the second quarter of 2020 declined 17% versus the second quarter of 2019. Demand has since recovered 6% since the end of the second quarter 2020. Concerns surrounding the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and business prospects across the world have contributed to increased market and price volatility and have diminished expectations for the global economy, and may precipitate a prolonged economic slowdown and recession.
These declines were amplified late in the first quarter by market plays between the world’s largest oil producers. The simultaneous shocks to oil supply and demand has resulted in a decline in the price of crude oil and led to a significant decrease in the price of the refined petroleum products we produce and sell. The Company believes it is experiencing the most challenging energy environment since its formation. The general business environment in which the Company operates and the uncertainty around the availability and prices of the Company’s feedstocks, primarily crude oil, and the demand for its products will likely continue to remain volatile through the remainder of the year and beyond. The decrease in the demand for refined petroleum products caused by the artificial pausing of the U.S. economy has resulted in a significant decrease in the price of the products we produce and sell, although demand and prices have since slightly recovered as states begin reopening. The price of refined products we sell and the feedstocks we purchase significantly impact our revenues, income from operations, net income and cash flows. As a result, the Company anticipates its future operating results and current and long-term financial condition could be further negatively impacted.
Petroleum Segment
The earnings and cash flows of the Petroleum Segment 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 refined products. The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price for which refined products are ultimately sold depends on factors beyond the Petroleum Segment’s 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, driving habits, 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 the Petroleum Segment applies first-in first-out accounting to value its inventory, crude oil price movements may impact net income in the short-term because of changes in the value of its unhedged inventory. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on the Petroleum Segment results of operations is partially influenced by the rate at which the process 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, system inventory, 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 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. The petroleum business is also subject to the renewable fuel standard (“RFS”) of the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), which, each year, requires blending “renewable fuels” with transportation fuels or purchasing renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), in lieu of blending, or otherwise be subject to penalties. Our cost to comply with the RFS is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include the availability of ethanol for blending at our refineries and downstream terminals or RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel
production levels, and the mix of our products, all of which can vary significantly from period to period. Based upon recent market prices of RINs and current estimates related to the other variable factors, our estimated cost to comply with the RFS is $95 to $105 million for 2020.
Market Conditions
NYMEX WTI crude oil is an industry wide benchmark that is utilized in the market pricing of a barrel of crude oil. The pricing differences between other crudes and WTI, known as differentials, show how the market for other crude oils such as WCS, White Cliffs (“Condensate”), Brent Crude (“Brent”), and Midland WTI (“Midland”) are trending. During the second quarter of 2020, the global crude oil market was impacted by a crude oil production curtailment agreement among OPEC member countries and other producer nations. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by governments and others in response thereto, and the decreased demand described above, refined product prices have experienced extreme volatility. As a result of the current environment, refining margins have been and could continue to be significantly reduced.
As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we utilize NYMEX and Group 3 crack spreads. These crack spreads are a measure of the difference between market prices for crude oil and refined products and are a commonly used proxy within the industry to estimate or identify trends in refining margins. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly over time as a result of market conditions and supply and demand balances. The NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread is calculated using two barrels of WTI producing one barrel of NYMEX RBOB Gasoline (“RBOB”) and one barrel of NYMEX NY Harbor ULSD (“HO”). The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread is calculated using two barrels of WTI crude oil producing one barrel of Group 3 sub-octane gasoline and one barrel of Group 3 ultra-low sulfur diesel.
Both NYMEX 2-1-1 and Group 3 2-2-1 crack spreads decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread averaged $13.47 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $20.77 per barrel in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread averaged $10.47 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $18.99 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The tables below are presented, on a per barrel basis, by month through June 30, 2020:

Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment
Within the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment, earnings and cash flows from operations are primarily affected by the relationship between nitrogen fertilizer product prices, utilization, and operating costs and expenses, including petroleum coke and natural gas feedstock costs.
The price at which nitrogen fertilizer products are ultimately sold depends on numerous factors, including the global supply and demand for nitrogen fertilizer products which, in turn, depends on, among other factors, world grain demand and production levels, changes in world population, the cost and availability of fertilizer transportation infrastructure, weather conditions, the availability of imports, and the extent of government intervention in agriculture markets.
Nitrogen fertilizer prices are also affected by local factors, including local market conditions and the operating levels of competing facilities. An expansion or upgrade of competitors’ facilities, new facility development, political and economic developments, and other factors are likely to continue to play an important role in nitrogen fertilizer 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 industry typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand for nitrogen fertilizer products.
With the adverse economic impacts discussed above and the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a heightened risk that amounts recognized, including goodwill and other long-lived assets, may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2019, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s Coffeyville, Kansas facility (the “Coffeyville Facility”) reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $41 million for which the estimated fair value had been in excess of carrying value based on our 2018 and 2019 assessments. As a result of lower expectations for market conditions in the fertilizer industry, the market performance of CVR Partners’ common units, a qualitative analysis, and additional risks associated with the business, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an interim quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill for this reporting unit as of June 30, 2020. The results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, and a full impairment of the asset was required. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and cost of capital. To evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations for the reporting unit, the Company applied a hypothetical 1% favorable change in the weighted average cost of capital, and separately, increased the revenue projections by 10%, holding gross margins steady. The results of these sensitivity analyses confirmed the need to record a non-cash impairment charge of $41 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
While our assessment in 2020 has not identified the existence of an impairment indicator for the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s long-lived asset groups, we continue to monitor the current environment, including the duration and breadth of the impacts that the pandemic will have on demand for our fertilizer products, to assess whether qualitative factors indicate a quantitative assessment is required. If a quantitative test is performed, the extent to which the recoverability of our long-lived assets could be impaired is unknown. Such impairment could have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations; however, an impairment would have no impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
Market Conditions
While there is risk of short-term volatility given the inherent nature of the commodity cycle and the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes the long-term fundamentals for the U.S. nitrogen fertilizer industry remain intact. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment views the anticipated combination of (i) increasing global population, (ii) decreasing arable land per capita, (iii) continued evolution to more protein-based diets in developing countries, (iv) sustained use of corn as feedstock for the domestic production of ethanol, and (v) positioning at the lower end of the global cost curve should provide a solid foundation for nitrogen fertilizer producers in the U.S. over the longer term.
Weather significantly impacted the timing of the planting season for corn and soybeans in 2019. Due to excessive wet conditions, crops were planted later than normal in the spring which led to a late harvest of these crops in the fall of 2019. As a result, the ammonia application season in the fall of 2019 was shortened. This created a surplus of ammonia inventory in the market during the winter of 2019 leading into 2020. UAN continues to be impacted by the imposition of import duties on UAN product by the European Union (the “EU”). This has resulted in shifts in UAN trade flows for product that had previously been shipped to the EU. In 2020, natural gas prices across the world declined significantly as compared to 2019. Natural gas is the primary feedstock for production of nitrogen fertilizers. As a result of these factors, the Partnership has seen a softening of prices related to these products.
Corn and soybean are two major crops planted by farmers in North America. Corn crops result in the depletion of the amount of nitrogen and ammonia within the soil it is grown in, which in turn, results in a need for these nutrients to be replenished after each growing cycle. Unlike corn, soybeans are able to obtain their own nitrogen through a process known as “N fixation”. As such, upon harvesting of soybeans, the soil retains a certain amount of nitrogen which results in lower demand for nitrogen fertilizer for the following corn planting cycle. Due to these factors, nitrogen fertilizer consumers generally operate a balanced corn-soybean rotational planting cycle as evident through the chart presented below for 2020 and 2019.
The relationship between the total acres planted for both corn and soybean has a direct impact on the overall demand for nitrogen products. As the number of corn acres increases, the market and demand for nitrogen also increases. Correspondingly, as the number of soybean acres increases, the market and demand for nitrogen decreases.
Ethanol is blended with gasoline to meet renewable fuel standard requirements and for its octane value. Ethanol production has historically consumed approximately 35% of the U.S. corn crop, so demand for corn generally rises and falls with ethanol demand. There has been a decline in the ethanol market due to decreased demand for transportation fuels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is uncertainty surrounding if and when gasoline demand will return to normal levels, the drop in ethanol demand has not significantly impacted spring planting decisions, as evidenced through the chart below.
The preliminary 2020 United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) reports on corn and soybean acres planted indicated farmers’ intention to plant 92.0 million acres of corn, representing an increase of 2.6% in corn acres planted as compared to 89.7 million corn acres in 2019. Planted soybean acres are estimated to be 83.8 million acres, representing a 10.2% increase in soybean acres planted as compared to 76.1 million soybean acres in 2019. Despite these anticipated increases in corn acres planted in 2020, if the current gasoline demand and ethanol blending continues to be weak, there is an expectation that corn planted acres could be lower than estimated while remaining above 2019 levels, and corn inventories could be elevated after the harvest in fall 2020 leading to lower planted corn acres in future years. Despite the above potential risks for 2021 or later, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment currently expects solid demand for crop inputs for the remainder of the year.
The table below shows relevant market indicators for the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment by month through June 30, 2020:

Results of Operations
Consolidated
Our consolidated results of operations include certain other unallocated corporate activities and the elimination of intercompany transactions and therefore do not equal the sum of the operating results of the Petroleum Segment and Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.
Consolidated Financial Highlights (Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2019)
(1)See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures shown above.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2019 (Consolidated)
Overview - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s operating income decreased by $218 million and $512 million, respectively, resulting in an operating loss of $26 million and $160 million, respectively, as compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. These decreases were driven primarily by declines in operating results of $158 million and $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $441 million and $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 within the Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer Segments, respectively. Refer to our discussion of each segment’s results of operations below for further information.
Investment Income from Marketable Securities - During the first quarter of 2020, we acquired a 14.9% ownership interest in Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Delek”) (NYSE ticker symbol: DK). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we
received $3 million and $4 million, respectively, in dividend income related to the associated common shares owned. The Company recognized an unrealized gain based on market pricing on June 30, 2020 of $18 million and $48 million for the three and six months of 2020, respectively.
Income Tax Expense - Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5 million and $42 million, or 13.9% and 23.9% of loss before income taxes, respectively, as compared to income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $41 million and $76 million, or 24.3% and 24.8% of income before income taxes, respectively. The fluctuation in income tax (benefit) expense was due primarily to changes in pretax income between all periods presented. In addition, the change in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the effects of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s goodwill impairment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and changes in pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests between all periods presented.
Petroleum Segment
The Petroleum Segment utilizes certain inputs within its refining operations. These inputs include crude oil, butanes, natural gasoline, ethanol, and bio-diesel (these are also known as “throughputs”).

Petroleum Segment Financial Highlights (Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2019)
Overview - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Petroleum Segment’s operating income and net income were $5 million and $6 million, respectively, compared to operating income and net income of $163 million and $158 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Petroleum Segment’s operating loss and net loss were $122 million and $124 million, respectively, compared to operating income and net income of $319 million and $307 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The declines during both periods were primarily driven by lower sales volumes and unfavorable refining margins when compared to the prior periods.
(1)See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures shown above.
Net Sales - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net sales for the Petroleum Segment decreased by $980 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net sales for the Petroleum Segment decreased by $1,320 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. These declines were primarily driven by lower sales volumes and prices as a result of reduced demand and excess supply caused by government actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic. During the second quarter of 2020, the refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas (the “Coffeyville Refinery”) came online after a full, planned turnaround, which began in the first quarter of 2020. Utilization rates were reduced at both refineries throughout the majority of the second quarter of 2020 given market dynamics.
(1)See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures shown below.
Refining Margin - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, refining margin was $148 million, or $10.43 per throughput barrel, as compared to $308 million, or $15.66 per throughput barrel, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in refining margin of $160 million was in part due to a reduction in throughput volumes of 59,914 bpd primarily driven by continued demand pressure in 2020 compared to 2019. On a per barrel basis, refining margin was negatively impacted by lower crack spreads that were negatively influenced by state enacted shutdown measures during the quarter. Market prices partially recovered over the course of the quarter resulting in a $46 million favorable inventory valuation impact during the three months ended June 30, 2020 with an unfavorable inventory valuation impact of less than $1 million during the same period of 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, refining margin was $170 million, or $5.97 per throughput barrel, as compared to $625 million, or $16.10 per throughput barrel, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in refining margin of $455 million was in part due to a reduction in throughput volumes of 58,112 bpd given the full, planned turnaround at the Coffeyville Refinery from late February 2020 to the middle of April 2020 and reduced rates post startup, as well as reduced rates at the refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma (the “Wynnewood Refinery”) driven by demand destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on market prices. On a per barrel basis, refining margin was negatively impacted by lower crack spreads that were negatively influenced by significant market volatility beginning in March 2020. The decline in market pricing for crude oil, and the associated reduction in selling prices we experienced at the end of the first quarter of 2020 for refined products, coupled with the demand destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and partially offset by a recovery in market prices during the second quarter of 2020, resulted in $90 million of unfavorable inventory impacts, or $3.15 per total throughput barrel. This amount includes an unfavorable lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment of $58 million, based on the difference between the carrying value of inventories accounted for using the first-in-first-out method and selling prices for our refined products experienced subsequent to March 2020. No such loss was recognized in 2019. Additionally, the 2020 inventory impact includes a $32 million unfavorable impact from the crude oil price change during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was similar to the same period in 2019.
Offsetting the negative impacts discussed above were derivative gains of $20 million and $65 million recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to derivative gains of $4 million and $20 million for the same periods of 2019, respectively. Our derivative gains primarily reflect gains from the sale of WCS barrels at Cushing, hedges of excess inventories, crack spreads swaps and hedges entered into during 2019 that fixed WCS to WTI differentials for a portion of the WCS barrels we expect in 2020.
(1)Exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense.
Direct Operating Expenses (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization) - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, direct operating expenses on a total throughput barrel basis increased to $5.52 per barrel from $4.40 per barrel and increased to $5.69 per barrel from $4.57 per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was largely due to decreased throughput volumes with the Coffeyville Refinery being in a full, planned turnaround beginning the last week of February 2020 extending into mid-April 2020 and both refineries running at reduced rates from mid-April to mid-June. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were $79 million and $86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $162 million and $177 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity usage due to the refineries running at reduced rates coupled with a reduction in repairs and maintenance costs.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses, and Other - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses and other were $14 million and $31 million, respectively, compared to $7 million and $28 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase for both periods was primarily a result of a $10 million gain on the sale of Cushing tank assets in the prior periods of 2019, offset by decreased corporate allocations and personnel costs in the 2020 periods as compared to the 2019 periods.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment
Utilization and Production Volumes - The following tables summarize the ammonia utilization at the Coffeyville Facility and East Dubuque, Illinois facility (the “East Dubuque Facility”). Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons of ammonia produced divided by capacity adjusted for planned maintenance and turnarounds.
The presentation of our utilization is on a two-year rolling average which takes into account the impact of our planned and unplanned outages on any specific period. We believe the two-year rolling average is a more useful presentation of the long-term utilization performance of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s facilities.
Utilization is presented solely on ammonia production, rather than each nitrogen product, as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of facility configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With efforts primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, we believe this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.
Gross tons produced for ammonia represent the total ammonia produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into other fertilizer products. Net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale that was not upgraded into other fertilizer products. The tables below presents all of these Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
Ammonia Utilization

UAN | 321 | | | 316 | | | 638 | | | 651 | |
On a consolidated basis, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s utilization increased 2% to 94% for the two years ended June 30, 2020 compared to the two years ended June 30, 2019. The first quarter of 2019 ammonia storage capacity was constrained at the East Dubuque Facility impacting comparability to 2020.
Sales and Pricing per Ton - Two of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment‘s key operating metrics are total sales for ammonia and UAN along with the product pricing per ton realized at the gate. Product pricing at the gate represents net sales less freight revenue divided by product sales volume in tons and is shown in order to provide a pricing measure comparable across the fertilizer industry.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment Financial Highlights (Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2019)
Overview - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s operating loss and net loss were $26 million and $42 million, a $61 million and $61 million decrease in operating and net income, respectively, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s operating loss and net loss were $31 million and $62 million, a $75 million and $75 million decrease in operating and net income, respectively, over the six months ended June 30, 2019. The declines in income during both periods were driven primarily by a goodwill impairment of $41 million resulting from the expectation of continued weakening of sales pricing due to lower corn prices, a softening natural gas market, and increased imports of UAN, as was seen during the second quarter of 2020, as well as unfavorable ammonia and UAN pricing seen during the second quarter of 2020.
(1)See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section below for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures shown above.
Net Sales - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s net sales decreased by $33 million to $105 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable pricing conditions which contributed $32 million in lower revenues, partially offset by increased sales volumes contributing $1 million, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The following table demonstrates the impact of changes in sales volumes and pricing for the primary components of net sales, excluding urea products, freight, and other revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | Price Variance | | Volume Variance |
UAN | $ | (18) | | | $ | — | |
Ammonia | (14) | | | 1 | |
The decrease in UAN and ammonia sales pricing for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to competitive pricing pressures seen throughout the domestic and international markets. For UAN, the softening natural gas markets, which is the typical feedstock for nitrogen plants, shifting trade flows in UAN due to the imposition of import duties on UAN in the EU, and lower corn prices due to decreased demand for corn for ethanol blending contributed to lower UAN prices. For ammonia, lower natural gas and corn prices and reduced demand for industrial uses of ammonia contributed to lower prices.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s net sales decreased by $49 million to $180 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable pricing conditions which contributed $54 million in lower revenues, partially offset by increased sales volumes contributing $7 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The following table demonstrates the impact of changes in sales volumes and pricing for the primary components of net sales, excluding urea products, freight, and other revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | Price Variance | | Volume Variance |
UAN | $ | (34) | | | $ | (1) | |
Ammonia | (20) | | | 8 | |
The decrease in UAN and ammonia sales pricing for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the competitive pricing pressures discussed above. For UAN, the softening natural gas markets, shifting trade flows, and lower corn prices seen during the second quarter of 2020 contributed to lower prices. For ammonia, lower natural gas and corn prices and reduced demand for industrial uses of ammonia contributed to lower prices.
Cost of Materials and Other - For the three months ended June 30, 2020, cost of materials and other was $22 million compared to $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of lower natural gas costs and a lesser draw of ammonia at the East Dubuque Facility.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cost of materials and other was $46 million compared to $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of a decrease in freight and distribution costs at the Coffeyville Facility and lower natural gas prices and a lesser draw of ammonia than the prior period at the East Dubuque Facility, partially offset by increased pet coke costs at the Coffeyville Facility.
Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
The following are non-GAAP measures presented for the period ended June 30, 2020:
EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Refining Margin - The difference between our Petroleum Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.
Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories recognized in prior periods and lower of cost or market reserves, if applicable. We record our commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes we hold in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on our refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry.
Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts, per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum Segment divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized turnaround expenditures.
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. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.
Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our historical results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future for the reasons discussed below.
Petroleum Segment
Coffeyville Refinery - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we capitalized costs of $27 million and $149 million, respectively, related to the planned turnaround which began in March 2020 and was completed in April 2020.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment
Goodwill Impairment
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a goodwill balance of $41 million associated with our Coffeyville Facility reporting unit for which the estimated fair value had been in excess of carrying value based on our 2018 and 2019 assessments. As a result of lower expectations for market conditions in the fertilizer industry, the market performance of CVR Partners’ common units, a qualitative analysis, and additional risks associated with the business, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an interim quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill for this reporting unit as of June 30, 2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and cost of capital. The results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, and a full impairment of the asset was required. No such charge was recognized during 2019.

(1)The Petroleum Segment’s basis for determining inventory value under GAAP is First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”). Changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices decrease. The inventory valuation 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 inventory valuation impact per total throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for the inventory valuation impact and divide by the number of total throughput barrels for the period.
(2)Includes an inventory valuation charge of $58 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020, as inventories were reflected at the lower of cost or net realizable value. No such charge was recognized in the second quarter of 2020 or the 2019 periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has historically been cash from operations. Our principal uses of cash are for working capital, capital expenditures, funding our debt service obligations, and paying dividends to our stockholders, as further discussed below.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a significant and swift reduction in U.S. economic activity. For our industry, these effects have predominately resulted in significant changes in crude oil supply, decreases in crude oil and refined product pricing due to dramatic reductions in demand for crude oil and our refined products, primarily gasoline and jet fuel, all of which have caused significant volatility and disruption of the commodity and financial markets. This period of extreme economic disruption, low crude oil and refined product prices, and reduced demand has and is likely to continue to have an impact on our business, results of operations, and access to sources of liquidity.
In view of the uncertainty of the depth and extent of the contraction in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the weaker commodity price environment, we remain focused on safe and reliable operations, cash conservation, and protecting the balance sheet. As a result of these factors, and in light of the uncertainty of the current environment as well as potential future cash requirements of the Company, CVR Energy’s board of directors (the “Board”) reduced the cash dividend declared for the first quarter of 2020 to $0.40 per share and elected not to declare a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2020. These decisions support the Company’s continued focus on financial discipline through a balanced approach of stockholder distributions and strategic investments while providing additional flexibility to weather the uncertain environment. The Board will continue to evaluate the economic environment, the Company’s cash needs, optimal uses of cash, and other applicable factors, and may elect to make additional changes to the Company’s dividend in future periods. Additionally, in executing financial discipline, we have announced the following proactive measures:
•The deferment of the majority of our growth capital spending, with the exception of the RDU and DHT Projects at the Wynnewood Refinery;
•A reduction in the amount of expected maintenance capital expenditures for the remainder of 2020 to only include those projects which are critical to continuing safe and reliable operations, or are required to support future activities;
•A targeted reduction of $50 million in operational and general and administrative costs;
•For the Petroleum Segment, the deferment of the Wynnewood Refinery turnaround from the spring of 2021 to the fall of 2021, resulting in the delay of long-lead expenditures into 2021;
•For the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment, the deferment of the Coffeyville Facility turnaround from the fall of 2020 to the summer of 2021 and the East Dubuque Facility turnaround from 2021 to 2022; and
•Seeking available tax benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) by deferring certain payroll taxes otherwise required to be paid in 2020, increasing our business interest deduction, and carrying back our net operating loss generated in 2020.
When paired with the actions outlined above, we believe that our cash from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents, along with borrowings, as necessary, under CVR Refining’s Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility and CVR Partners’ AB Credit Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated cash requirements associated with our existing operations for at least the next 12 months. However, our 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 and secure additional financing depends on our future operational performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive, and other factors, some of which may be beyond our control.
Depending on the needs of our business, contractual limitations and market conditions, we may from time to time seek to issue equity securities, incur additional debt, issue debt securities, or otherwise refinance our existing debt. There can be no assurance that we will seek to do any of the foregoing or that we will be able to do any of the foregoing on terms acceptable to us or at all.
The Company’s debt offering which included $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), which mature on February 15, 2025, and $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), which mature on February 15, 2028, along with the associated repayment of the CVR Refining Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), collectively represent a material change in the Company’s liquidity position as compared to our 2019 Form 10-K. See Note 9 (“Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Obligations”) for further discussion. The Company, and its subsidiaries, were in compliance with all covenants under their respective debt instruments as of June 30, 2020.
Cash Balances and Other Liquidity
As of June 30, 2020, we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $606 million, $393 million available under CVR Refining’s Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility, and $46 million available under CVR Partners’ AB Credit Facility.

CVR Partners
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment has a 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, 6.50% Senior Notes due 2021, and an AB Credit Facility, the proceeds of which may be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion.
CVR Refining
The Petroleum Segment has an Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility, the proceeds of which may be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. The Company redeemed all of the 2022 Notes in January 2020. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K and Note 9 (“Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Obligations”) of this Report for further discussion.
CVR Energy
On January 27, 2020, CVR Energy issued the 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes were used to fund the redemption of the 2022 Notes. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding (i) acquisitions, (ii) capital projects, and/or (iii) share repurchases or other distributions to our stockholders. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K and Note 9 (“Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Obligations”) of this Report for further discussion of the issuance of these new notes and the redemption of the 2022 Notes.
Capital Spending
We divide capital spending needs into two categories: maintenance and growth. Maintenance capital spending includes non-discretionary maintenance projects and projects required to comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations.
Growth capital projects generally involve an expansion of existing capacity and/or a reduction in direct operating expenses. We undertake growth capital spending based on the expected return on incremental capital employed.
Our total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020, along with our estimated expenditures for 2020, by segment, are as follows:

(1)Total 2020 estimated capital expenditures includes approximately $1 to 2 million of growth-related projects that will require additional approvals before commencement.
We have reduced our 2020 estimated capital expenditures from the guidance provided in the 2019 Form 10-K, as outlined in our discussion above. Our estimated capital expenditures are subject to further change due to unanticipated changes in the cost, scope, and completion time for capital projects. For example, we may experience unexpected changes in labor or equipment costs necessary to comply with government regulations or to complete projects that sustain or improve the profitability of the refineries or nitrogen fertilizer facilities. We may also accelerate or defer some capital expenditures from time to time. Capital spending for CVR Partners is determined by the board of directors of its general partner (the “UAN GP Board”).
The Petroleum Segment began a major scheduled turnaround at the Coffeyville Refinery in March 2020, which was completed in April 2020. Total capitalized expenditures in 2020, primarily relating to the Coffeyville Refinery turnaround, were $153 million, of which $127 million was capitalized in the first quarter of 2020 and $26 million was capitalized in the second quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, total amounts capitalized relating to turnaround expenditures were $24 million, primarily relating to the Wynnewood Refinery.
Dividends to CVR Energy Stockholders
Dividends, if any, including the payment, amount and timing thereof, are subject to change at the discretion of the Board. No dividends were declared for the second quarter of 2020.
The following tables present dividends paid to the Company’s stockholders, including IEP, during 2020 and 2019 (amounts presented in tables below may not add to totals presented due to rounding).

Distributions to CVR Partners’ Unitholders
Distributions, if any, including the payment, amount and timing thereof, are subject to change at the discretion of the UAN GP Board. There have been no distributions paid by CVR Partners relating to the fourth quarter of 2019 or the first quarter of 2020, and there have also been no distributions declared for the second quarter of 2020, as the UAN GP Board determined there was no available cash for each quarter.
The following table presents distributions paid by CVR Partners to its common unitholders, including amounts paid to CVR Energy, during 2019.

Capital Structure
On October 23, 2019, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Stock Repurchase Program would enable the Company to repurchase up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program may be made from time-to-time through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price and amount of repurchases (if any) will be made at the discretion of management and are subject to market conditions as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. While the Stock Repurchase Program currently has a duration of four years, it does not obligate the Company to acquire any stock and may be terminated by the Board at any time. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has not repurchased any of the Company’s common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program.
On May 6, 2020, the UAN GP Board, on behalf of CVR Partners, authorized a unit repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”). The Unit Repurchase Program enables CVR Partners to repurchase up to $10 million of its common units. Repurchases under the Unit Repurchase Program may be made from time-to-time through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price, and amount of repurchases (if any) will be made at the discretion of management of CVR Partners’ general partner and are subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory, and other considerations. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate CVR Partners to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by the UAN GP Board at any time. On May 20, 2020, CVR Partners entered into a common unit repurchase agreement, pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate the repurchase of its common units and which CVR Partners may terminate at any time by providing written notice. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, CVR Partners repurchased 890,218 common units on the open market at a cost of $1.0 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $1.07 per common unit. At June 30, 2020, CVR Partners had $9.0 million in authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program.
Recent Developments
As disclosed in CVR Partners’ Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 24, 2020, on April 20, 2020, the average closing price of CVR Partners’ common units had fallen below $1.00 per unit over a 30 consecutive trading-day period, which is the minimum average unit price for continued listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listing Company Manual. Under the NYSE’s rules, CVR Partners has six months following receipt of this notification to regain compliance with the minimum unit price requirement. However, due to the unprecedented market-wide declines as a result of the ongoing spread of COVID-19, the SEC approved the NYSE’s request to toll the six month compliance period through and including June 30, 2020. As a result CVR Partners has until January 1, 2021 to regain compliance with this continued listing standard. As of June 30, 2020, the average closing price of CVR Partners’ common units over a consecutive 30 trading-day period has remained below $1.00 per common unit. Although CVR Partners intends to pursue measures to cure the unit price non-compliance and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements
in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, no assurance can be given that it will be able to regain compliance with the aforementioned listing requirement.
Cash Flows
Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a use of cash of $273 million as compared to a source of cash of $305 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The significant decline in free cash flow is primarily due to a decline in net income in addition to an increase in turnaround expenditures primarily associated with the Coffeyville Refinery turnaround in the first half of 2020. The following table sets forth our consolidated cash flows for the periods indicated below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, | | | | |
(in millions) | 2020 | | 2019 | | Change |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | $ | (49) | | | $ | 384 | | | $ | (433) | |
Investing activities | (361) | | | (43) | | | (318) | |
Financing activities | 364 | | | (469) | | | 833 | |
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (46) | | | $ | (128) | | | $ | 82 | |
Operating Activities
The change in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to a decline in net income, excluding non-cash items, of $326 million paired with unfavorable changes in working capital of $108 million associated with the decline in crude oil prices during 2020.
Investing Activities
The change in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the purchase of Delek common stock for $140 million, an increase in turnaround expenditures of $123 million relating to the Coffeyville Refinery turnaround in the first half of 2020, a decrease in proceeds from the sale of assets of $35 million, and an increase in capital expenditures of $22 million.
Financing Activities
The change in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the net cash used in financing activities for six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to increased cash inflows from the private offering of the 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes totaling $1.0 billion, a decrease in CVR Energy’s dividends and CVR Partners’ distributions of $29 million and $14 million, respectively, along with a decrease in cash outflows from the purchase of remaining CVR Refining’s units outstanding of $301 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 with no corresponding amounts paid in 2020. Cash provided by financing activities is partially offset by payments of $500 million for the redemption of the outstanding 2022 Notes, $5 million in a call premium on the extinguishment of the senior notes, and an increase in other financing activities of $6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as such term is defined within the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risks as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the risks discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our 2019 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2020, we have evaluated, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Despite many of our employees working in a remote environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic to determine any potential impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 13 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to Part I, Item 1 of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1, for a description of certain litigation, legal, and administrative proceedings and environmental matters.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors below should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K, which risk factors could also be affected by the potential effects of the outbreak of COVID-19 discussed below. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken in response thereto, as well as certain developments in the global oil markets have had, and may continue to have, material adverse impacts on the operations, business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations of the Company or its customers, suppliers, and other counterparties.
The COVID-19 pandemic and actions of governments and others in response thereto has resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, and limitations on the availability and effectiveness of the workforce. These impacts have negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact worldwide economic and commercial activity, financial markets, and demand for and prices of crude oil and other petroleum products. These impacts may also potentially precipitate a prolonged economic slowdown and recession. These declines have been further exacerbated by the production dispute between members of OPEC and Russia and the subsequent actions taken by such countries and other countries and crude oil producers as a result thereof.
Declines in the market prices of crude oil and certain other petroleum products below the carrying cost of such commodities in the Company’s inventory have required, and may continue to require, the Company to adjust the value of, and record a loss on, certain inventories, which has had, and may continue to have a negative impact on our operating income. This decline may also adversely impact other areas of our business, our ability to profitably operate our facilities, and our results of operations, such as revenues and cost of sales, and could also result in significant financial constraints on certain producers from which we acquire our crude oil. Such conditions could also result in an increased risk that customers, lenders, and other counterparties may be unable to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner, or at all. Further, if general economic conditions
continue to remain uncertain for an extended period of time, our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt may be harmed and the trading price of our common stock, which has seen recent volatility, may decline.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our business and operations will depend on the severity, location, and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the actions undertaken by national, regional, and local governments and health officials to contain such virus or remedy its effects, and if, how quickly and to what extent economic conditions recover and normal business and operating conditions resume.
CVR Partners may fail to regain or maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE, which may result in the suspension or delisting of its common units from the NYSE, which suspension or delisting may have, among other negative impacts, a material adverse effect on the value of the CVR Partners assets held by the Company.
As disclosed in CVR Partners’ Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 24, 2020, the average closing price of its common units had fallen below $1.00 per unit over a 30 consecutive trading-day period, which is the minimum average unit price for continued listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listing Company Manual. CVR Services currently owns the general partner and 35% of the outstanding common units of CVR Partners and the suspension or delisting of CVR partners’ common units may have, among other negative conditions, a material adverse effect on the value of the assets held by or distributions paid to CVR Services or the liquidity or financial condition of CVR Partners.

(ii) arising as a result of loss or damage to any property, including, but not limited to property or facilities of an Indemnified Party, or loss or damage to an Indemnified Party’s materials, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligent operations, or the negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party or its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or representatives; or
(b) brought by any third party against an Indemnified Party:
(i) arising as a result of bodily injuries (including death) to any person, including but not limited to Claims arising from or relating to exposure to asbestos or asbestos containing materials of any kind, to the extent caused by the negligent operations, or the negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party or its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or representatives;
(ii) alleging that the design, engineering, construction, installation, operation or maintenance of, or the use of, any equipment, process or technology, or any part thereof (each, an “Item”), furnished or manufactured by the Indemnifying Party or any of its agents, contractors or subcontractors under this Agreement constitutes any infringement of United States patents, copyrights or other intellectual property or constitutes an improper use of any other proprietary rights, unless: (A) the infringement would not have occurred but for the conformity of the Item to the Indemnified Party’s specifications; (B) the infringement resulted from the Indemnified Party’s combination of the Items with equipment or a process or technology not provided by the Indemnifying Party and the Claim would have been avoided in the absence of that combination; (C) the infringement resulted from a modification to the Item made by the Indemnified Party; or (D) the Claim is for the infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary rights that the
Page 7 of 41

Indemnified Party owns, or that are subject to a third party license agreement that the Indemnified Party breached; or
(iii) for any violation or alleged violation of Law, to the extent that the violation of Law resulted from the Indemnifying Party’s acts or omissions in performing under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the delivery of any material or product that does not conform to applicable Laws at the time of delivery.
9.2 THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES OCCURRING TO ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES (EACH AN “EMPLOYEE”) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR EMPLOYMENT AND/OR PERFORMANCE OF WORK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO FULLY DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY EMPLOYEES OF AN INDEMNIFYING PARTY AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR BODILY INJURY OR DEATH, REGARDLESS OF ANY DEGREE OF FAULT, OMISSION OR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE PER SE, OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIMS ARE ALLEGED OR FOUND TO BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY; BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS ARE FOUND BY A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE OR UN-APPEALED DECISION OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THIS PROVISION CONTROLS OVER ANY CONFLICTING PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
9.3 With respect to Claims by Employees of an Indemnifying Party, the defense, indemnity and hold harmless obligations created under Section 9.2 are not limited by the fact of, amount, or type of benefits or compensation payable by or for any Indemnifying Party under any workers' compensation, disability benefits, or other employee benefits acts or regulations, and each Indemnifying Party waives any limitation of liability or immunity arising from workers' compensation or such other acts or regulations, but only to the extent of the indemnity obligations set forth in Section 9.2.
9.4 Messer will be responsible for [***]. Except as provided for in the previous sentence, [***].

The Indemnifying Party will be relieved of its obligations under this Section, only to the extent that the Indemnified Party breaches its obligations in the previous sentence, and the breach materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s defense of the Indemnified Claim. The Indemnified Party may employ counsel to assist it with respect to the Indemnified Claim, at the Indemnified Party’s cost.
9.6 The Indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, mitigate Claims under Section 9.1(b)(ii) by taking any of the following actions: (a) securing the right for the Indemnified Party to continue using Items; (b) replacing the Items with non-infringing Items; (c) modifying the Items so they become non- infringing; or (d) refunding to the Indemnified Party the amount paid for the Items.

10.9 Coffeyville Resources may at any time upon prior written notice request Messer to increase the limits set forth to such amounts as inflation, industry practice or other factors indicate are reasonable or if required by applicable law.
