    • Reported net income attributable to HEP of $49.2 million or $0.46 per unit
    • Announced quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit
    • Reported EBITDA of $77.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $83.3 million

    Holly Energy Partners, L.P. ("HEP" or the "Partnership") (NYSE:HEP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to HEP for the third quarter of 2021 was $49.2 million ($0.46 per basic and diluted limited partner unit), compared to $17.8 million ($0.17 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the third quarter of 2020.

    Net income attributable to HEP for the third quarter of 2020 included a goodwill impairment charge of $35.7 million related to our Cheyenne business unit and a $6.1 million gain related to HEP's pro-rata share of a business interruption insurance claim settlement resulting from a loss at HollyFrontier Corporation's ("HollyFrontier") Woods Cross refinery. Excluding these items, net income attributable to HEP for the third quarters of 2021 and 2020 were $49.2 million ($0.46 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) and $47.4 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit), respectively. The increase in earnings was mainly due to higher interest income associated with sales-type leases, higher equity in earnings from our joint ventures and lower depreciation expense partially offset by lower revenues and higher operating expenses.

    Distributable cash flow was $66.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of $10.1 million, or 13.1% compared to the third quarter of 2020. HEP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 per unit on October 21, 2021.

    Commenting on our 2021 third quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "HEP delivered solid results in the quarter, supported by record volumes on the SLC and Frontier pipelines in the Rockies region, in addition to on going strength in our terminal and storage systems. During the quarter, we completed the Cushing Connect Pipeline project and continued to execute our deleveraging plan. Looking forward, we continue to make progress on the Frontier Pipeline expansion and expect completion later this year."

    Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

    Our business depends in large part on the demand for the various petroleum products we transport, terminal and store in the markets we serve. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global macroeconomy created diminished demand, as well as lack of forward visibility, for refined products and crude oil transportation, and for the terminalling and storage services that we provide. Since the declines in demand at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began to see improvement in demand for these products and services beginning late in the second quarter of 2020 that continued through the third quarter of 2021, with aggregate volumes approaching pre-pandemic levels. We expect our customers will continue to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand, and with the increasing availability of vaccines, we believe there is a path to a fulsome recovery in demand in 2021. For additional details of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, please see our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

    Third Quarter 2021 Revenue Highlights

    Revenues for the third quarter were $122.6 million, a decrease of $5.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production, reclassifications of certain tariffs and fees from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting and a 3% decrease in overall crude and product pipeline volumes.

    • Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $27.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 162.3 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 179.6 mbpd for the third quarter of 2020. The volume and revenue decreases were mainly due to lower volumes on pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery and our pipelines servicing Delek's Big Spring refinery.
    • Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.5 million, consistent with the third quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 136.4 mbpd for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 142.8 mbpd for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery while revenue remained constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.
    • Revenues from our crude pipelines were $32.3 million, consistent with the third quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 408.0 mbpd compared to 404.3 mbpd for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah.
    • Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $33.3 million, a decrease of $5.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 472.2 mbpd compared to 459.3 mbpd for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly the result of higher throughputs at HollyFrontier's El Dorado refinery. Revenues decreased mainly due to lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production and reclassifications of certain tariffs and fees from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
    • Revenues from refinery processing units were $21.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, and throughputs averaged 72.3 mbpd compared to 62.0 mbpd for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues increased mainly due to higher natural gas recoveries in revenues. Revenues did not increase in proportion to the increase in volumes mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.

    Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Revenue Highlights

    Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $376.0 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to increased volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah, the recognition of the $10 million termination fee related to the termination of HollyFrontier's minimum volume commitment on our Cheyenne assets and higher revenues on our refinery processing units partially offset by lower on going revenues on our Cheyenne assets and our pipelines servicing Delek's Big Spring refinery as well as reclassifications of certain tariffs and fees from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

    • Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $84.7 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 165.8 mbpd compared to 172.6 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The volume and revenue decreases were mainly due to lower volumes on pipelines servicing Delek's Big Spring refinery.
    • Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $22.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 131.9 mbpd compared to 137.8 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Tulsa refinery while revenue remained relatively constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.
    • Revenues from our crude pipelines were $94.9 million, an increase of $8.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 393.0 mbpd compared to 380.1 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases were mainly attributable to increased volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah.
    • Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $108.4 million, a decrease of $4.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 436.9 mbpd compared to 451.0 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Volumes decreased mainly as a result of lower throughputs at HollyFrontier's Tulsa refinery as well as the cessation of petroleum refinery operations at HollyFrontier's Cheyenne refinery. Revenues decreased mainly as a result of reclassifications of certain tariffs and fees from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
    • Revenues from refinery processing units were $65.4 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Throughputs averaged 69.9 mbpd compared to 60.6 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues increased mainly due to higher recovery of natural gas costs as well as higher throughputs.

    Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights

    Operating costs and expenses were $68.5 million and $218.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing decreases of $35.7 million and $9.3 million from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The third quarter decrease was mainly due to the goodwill impairment charge related to our Cheyenne reporting unit in 2020, lower property taxes and lower maintenance costs partially offset by higher employee costs and natural gas costs. The year to date decrease was mainly due to the goodwill impairment charge related to our Cheyenne reporting unit in 2020 and lower property taxes partially offset by higher employee costs, maintenance costs, pipeline rental costs and natural gas costs.

    Interest expense was $13.4 million and $40.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing decreases of $0.7 million and $5.1 million, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The decreases were mainly due to lower average borrowings outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility and refinancing our $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior notes due 2024 with $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior notes due 2028.

    Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. ("Holly Energy Partners") plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus (i) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) goodwill impairment and (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees minus (iv) gain on sales-type leases, (v) gain on significant asset sales, and (vi) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline and terminal tariffs and fees for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. These tariffs and fees were previously recorded as revenues prior to the renewal of the throughput agreement, which triggered sales-type lease accounting. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recorded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants.

    Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exception of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.
