NOTE 2: Cushing Connect Joint Venture
We, through our wholly owned subsidiary HEP Cushing LLC, own a 50% interest in Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (“Cushing Connect”), a joint venture with Plains Marketing, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”). Cushing Connect consists of (i) a 160,000 barrel per day common carrier crude oil pipeline (the “Cushing Connect Pipeline”) that connects the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil hub to our Tulsa refineries and (ii) the ownership and operation of 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Cushing Connect Terminal”).
Cushing Connect entered into a contract with an affiliate of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), a subsidiary of HF Sinclair, to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect Pipeline and with an affiliate of Plains to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect Terminal. The total investment in Cushing Connect was generally shared proportionately among the partners.
Cushing Connect and its two subsidiaries (the “Cushing Connect Entities”) are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Cushing Connect Entities are VIEs because they were deemed to not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional financial support. We are the primary beneficiary of two of these entities as HEP constructed and operates the Cushing Connect Pipeline, and we have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the financial performance of Cushing Connect and the Cushing Connect Pipeline. Therefore, we consolidate Cushing Connect and the related Cushing Connect Pipeline subsidiary. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Cushing Connect Terminal, which we account for using the equity method of accounting. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with Cushing Connect Terminal is not expected to be material due to the long-term terminalling agreements in place to support operations.
With the exception of the assets of HEP Cushing LLC, creditors of the Cushing Connect Entities have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP Cushing LLC would be limited to the extent of HEP Cushing LLC’s assets, which other than its investment in Cushing Connect, are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of the Cushing Connect Entities. The most significant assets of Cushing Connect and the Cushing Connect Pipeline that are available to settle only their obligations, along with their most significant liabilities for which their creditors do not have recourse to our general credit, were:

NOTE 3: Revenues
Substantially all revenue-generating activities relate to sales of refined products and excess crude oil inventories that are sold at market prices (variable consideration) under contracts with customers. Additionally, we have revenues attributable to our logistics services provided under petroleum product and crude oil pipeline transportation, processing, storage and terminalling agreements with third parties.

NOTE 5: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs. |
The carrying amounts of derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| Fair Value by Input Level | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| (In millions) | ||||
| Assets: | ||||
| Commodity forward contracts | $1 | $— | $1 | $— |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 11 | — | 11 | — |
| Total assets | $12 | $— | $12 | $— |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| NYMEX futures contracts | $9 | $9 | $— | $— |
| Commodity forward contracts | 1 | — | 1 | — |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 1 | — | 1 | — |

| Environmental credit obligations | 10 | — | 10 | — |
| Total liabilities | $12 | $1 | $11 | $— |
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Our futures contracts based on New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) pricing are measured and recorded at fair value using quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Derivative instruments consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, commodity price swaps and forward sales and purchase contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the commodity price swap contracts is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the respective swap agreements. The measurements are computed using market-based observable inputs and quoted forward commodity prices with respect to our commodity price swaps. The fair value of the forward sales and purchase contracts is computed using quoted forward commodity prices. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on values provided by a third party, which were derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input. Environmental credit obligations are valued based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
NOTE 6: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders, adjusted for participating securities’ share in earnings divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the incremental shares resulting from certain share-based awards.
The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (In millions, except share and per share data) | ||
| Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders | $(4) | $315 |
| Less: participating securities’ share in earnings (1) | 1 | 2 |
| Net income (loss) attributable to common shares | $(5) | $313 |
| Average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands): | ||
| Basic | 188,488 | 198,710 |
| Diluted | 188,488 | 198,710 |
| Basic earnings (loss) per share | $(0.02) | $1.57 |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $(0.02) | $1.57 |
(1)Unvested restricted stock unit awards and unvested performance share units that settle in HF Sinclair common stock represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common stockholders of HF Sinclair. Participating earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of HF Sinclair attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock unit awards and performance share units do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so.
NOTE 7: Stock-Based Compensation
We have a principal share-based compensation plan, the HF Sinclair Corporation Amended and Restated 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of unrestricted and restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, stock options, performance awards, substitute awards, cash awards and stock appreciation rights. Subject to adjustment for certain events, an aggregate of 6,368,930 of these awards may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2020 Plan. The restricted stock unit awards generally vest over a period ofone tothree years. Upon vesting, restrictions on the restricted stock units lapse at which time they convert to common shares or cash. The performance share units generally vest at the end of athree year period and are payable in stock or cash upon meeting certain financial and performance criteria. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid for the performance share units can range from zero to 200% of target award amounts. The holders of unvested restricted stock units and performance share units have the right to receive dividends. We also have a stock compensation deferral plan that allows non-employee directors to defer settlement of vested stock granted under our share-based compensation plan.
The 2020 Plan compensation costs were $5 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
A summary of restricted stock units and performance share units activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025, is presented below:
