−Removed: This system implementation is part of our ongoing business transformation initiatives and we expect these system infrastructure investments will result in more efficient and scalable operational processes and provide enhanced analytics to drive business performance.
−Removed: Improving Consistency and Transparency by Conforming Refining Inventory Accounting Methodology:
−Removed: As of January 1, 2022, we changed our method for accounting for inventory held at the Tyler Refinery to the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost method from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost method.
−Removed: This change in accounting method will conform the Company’s refining inventory to a single method of accounting, and will eliminate the inherent volatility in the LIFO valuation of inventory attributable to increments and decrements in historical LIFO layers, which can impact comparability between periods as well as to market conditions and crack spreads.
−Removed: For these reasons, we expect that the newly adopted accounting principle will improve financial reporting by providing better consistency, better transparency, and recognition that better reflects the physical flow of inventory and more accurately reflects the current value of inventory.
−Removed: The effects of this change have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented with a cumulative effect adjustment reflected in the January 1, 2021 beginning retained earnings.
−Removed: (See further discussion in Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

−Removed: Critical Accounting Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
−Removed: The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates.
−Removed: Based on this definition and as further described in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe our critical accounting policies include the following:
−Removed: (i) evaluating impairment for property, plant and equipment and definite life intangibles, (ii) evaluating potential impairment of goodwill, (iii) estimating environmental expenditures, and (iv) estimating asset retirement obligations.
−Removed: Additionally, we have identified the following critical accounting policy that impacts the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
−Removed: Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), we use an estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to record income taxes.
−Removed: The development of the estimated AETR involves significant judgment, particularly early in the year and in times of economic uncertainty.
−Removed: As of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our estimates of the expected AETR reflected inputs which are subject to judgment including (but not necessarily limited to) the following:
−Removed: • Forecasted pre-tax U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") income or loss for the year
−Removed: • Estimates of expected permanent differences in GAAP income or loss and taxable income or loss for the year
−Removed: • Forecasted capital expenditures for the year and future years (where such activities can be impacted by unanticipated events)
−Removed: • Expected applicable jurisdictional tax rates
−Removed: • Estimated impact of possible deduction and tax credit limitations
−Removed: • Estimates regarding net operating losses, carryback and carryforward provisions (and limitations) and valuation allowances
−Removed: All of these inputs are subject to significant judgment and assumptions about future events impacting 2022, some of which are based on historical trends and results, operational plans, and projections regarding future pricing and profitability (where we utilize third party forward curves and pricing sources, where possible, but where expectations regarding capture rates and other factors involve judgment).
−Removed: We also note that, while economic conditions affecting our industry and industry outlooks related to COVID-19 are stabilizing and improving, there remains a level of uncertainty related to COVID-19 and the expectations for recovery that increases the level of judgment involved with some of these assumptions.
−Removed: Accordingly, where appropriate, we may consider the probability of certain components in determining what we believe to be a reasonable estimate based on conditions and events that were in existence as of our reporting date, which may also involve the use of significant management judgment.
−Removed: Furthermore, many of our assumptions are inter-relational, where changing one assumption can impact other assumptions (e.g., in terms of the applicability of or limitations under various tax code provisions).
−Removed: The nature of the AETR estimation approach for recording income taxes requires continuous review and adjustment during the year based on actual results, and as better information regarding forecasted results and assumptions becomes available.
−Removed: Significant changes in any of these assumptions or in actual results compared to our forecasts and assumptions could cause material changes in our AETR, which could result in cumulative adjustments to reflect the new estimates in future periods.
−Removed: Management's Discussion and Analysis
−Removed: We have developed and utilized methodologies and rationales for the development of our assumptions, subject to internal controls and sensitivity or probability assessments, as appropriate, and we believe our process provides a reasonable basis for our estimated AETR as well as the income taxes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
−Removed: Business Combinations
−Removed: We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
−Removed: Any excess or surplus of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase.
−Removed: The fair value of assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate;
−Removed: the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates;
−Removed: and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity-specific differences.
−Removed: We use all available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party consultants for valuation assistance.
−Removed: The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain.
−Removed: Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the projected results used to determine fair value.
−Removed: Management's Discussion and Analysis
+Added: The chart below illustrates the quarterly average prices of Waha (Permian Basin) and Henry Hub (Gulf Coast) per million British Thermal Units ("MMBtu") for each of the quarterly periods in 2022 and for the first quarterly period in 2023.
Non-GAAP Measures
1 unchanged sentence
These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
−Removed: • Refining margin - calculated based on the regional market sales price of refined products produced, less allocated transportation, RFS renewable volume obligation and associated feedstock costs.

−Removed: • Refining segment margin- calculated as the difference between net refining revenues and total cost of materials and other;
−Removed: • Refining margin per barrels sold - calculated as refining margin divided by our average refining sales in barrels per day (excluding purchased barrels) multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period.
−Removed: We believe these non-GAAP operational and financial measures are useful to investors, lenders, ratings agencies and analysts to assess our ongoing performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying results and trends.
+Added: • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") - calculated as net income (loss) attributable to Delek adjusted to add back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization;
+Added: • Refining margin - calculated as gross margin (which we define as sales minus cost of sales) adjusted for operating expenses and depreciation and amortization included in cost of sales.
+Added: We believe these non-GAAP operational and financial measures are useful to investors, lenders, ratings agencies and analysts to assess our ongoing performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and they may obscure our underlying results and trends.

−Removed: Refining contribution margin is impacted by regulatory costs associated with the cost of RINs as well as energy costs, including the cost of natural gas.
−Removed: In periods of unfavorable regulatory sentiment or uncertainty regarding the possibility of SREs, RINs prices can increase at higher rates than crack spreads, or even when crack spreads are declining.
+Added: Finally, Refining EBITDA is impacted by regulatory costs associated with the cost of RINs as well as energy costs, including the cost of natural gas.
+Added: In periods of unfavorable regulatory sentiment, RINs prices can increase at higher rates than crack spreads, or even when crack spreads are declining.
This can be particularly impactful on smaller refineries, where the operating cost structure does not have as much scalability as larger refineries.
−Removed: Additionally, volatility in energy costs, which are captured in our operating expenses and impact our Refining contribution margin, can significantly impact our ability to capture crack spreads, with natural gas representing the most significant component.

The cost to acquire the refined fuel products we sell to our wholesale customers in our logistics segment and at our convenience stores in our retail segment largely depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation.
+Added: Management's Discussion and Analysis
In addition to the above, it continues to be a strategic and operational objective to manage price and supply risk related to crude oil that is used in refinery production, and to develop strategic sourcing relationships.
