Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growth-oriented company based in Houston, Texas, that owns and operates market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses.
Our business is organized into three primary segments:
1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries, including one idled refinery, with total operating throughput capacity of over 150 Mbpd in Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington.
2) Retail - Our retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise through Hele and “76” branded sites, “nomnom” branded company-operated convenience stores, 7-Eleven operated convenience stores, other sites operated by third parties, and unattended cardlock stations. We completed the rebranding of all company-operated convenience stores in Washington and Idaho to “nomnom,” our proprietary brand.
3) Logistics - We operate an extensive multi-modal logistics network spanning the Pacific, the Northwest, and the Rocky Mountain regions that primarily transports and stores crude oil and refined products for our refineries and transports refined products to our retail sites or third-party purchasers.
As of June 30, 2021, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy. Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado.
We have four reportable segments: (i) Refining, (ii) Retail, (iii) Logistics, and (iv) Corporate and Other. Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs. Please read Note 17—Segment Information to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detailed information on our operating results by segment.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
On June 10, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) announced that individuals who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can travel domestically at low risk to themselves from COVID-19, though they should still wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines. Beginning July 8, 2021, travelers entering the state of Hawaii who have been fully vaccinated in the U.S. may bypass quarantine without a pre-travel test. Tourism in Hawaii increased during the second quarter of 2021, with 419 thousand visitors from the U.S. West coast in May 2021, an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2019 prior to the pandemic. With easing COVID-19 restrictions and increasing demand, our profitability in the retail and logistics segments has reached over 90% of pre-pandemic levels. In the second quarter of 2021, the U.S. saw continued economic recovery due to increased availability of the COVID-19 vaccine to the public. As of June 30, 2021, 46% of the United States population has been fully vaccinated. In Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming, 52%, 55%, and 34% of the population have been fully vaccinated, respectively. Though vaccination rates continue to rise, the more contagious Delta variant, now the dominant coronavirus strain in the U.S., could cause a resurgence of COVID-19.
In addition to measures we took in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we have also undertaken additional liquidity-enhancing measures, including deferring or delaying certain capital expenditures related to turnaround activities at our Washington refinery. We closed sale-leaseback transactions in the first quarter of 2021, in which we sold twenty-two (22) retail convenience store/fuel station properties located in Hawaii (the “Sale-Leaseback Properties”) for $112.8 million, net of fees. We also entered into a lease on the properties for fifteen (15) years, unless earlier terminated, with up to four five-year renewal options. On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $87.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
We believe the steps we have taken throughout 2020 and in the first half of 2021 have strengthened our ability to conduct our operations through current conditions. We are also utilizing some of the non-income tax payment deferral opportunities at various state levels and utilized federal refund acceleration opportunities provided by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). We continue to maintain existing processes and procedures, including but not limited to processes and procedures around protection of our technology systems and proprietary data, even though a significant number of our employees are working from home. The health and well-being of
30
our employees and customers continue to be our top priorities as we continue navigating the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The financial results contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the continuing pandemic-related demand suppression experienced in the first half of 2021 in the regions in which we operate. Though vaccine availability and vaccination rates are increasing, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and the impacts of the virus on people and businesses continue to evolve as of the date of this report. The full magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Net Loss. Our financial results for the second quarter of 2021 declined from a net loss of $40.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to a net loss of $109.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $158.4 million unfavorable change in lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments and increased RINs expenses driven by higher RINs prices, partially offset by a favorable change in inventory valuation adjustments at our Hawaii refinery and improved crack spreads driven by increased refined product demand due to the continuing economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $6.7 million compared to a loss of $50.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to improved crack spreads driven by increased refined product demand, favorable realized derivatives, and a 23% increase in sales volumes in our Refining segment, partially offset by a higher RINs mark-to-market expense driven by higher RINs prices, unfavorable feedstock costs at our Washington refinery, a 31% decrease in fuel margins at our Retail segment related to rising crude oil prices, and an unfavorable increase in internal fuel consumption at our Refining segment due to higher throughput volumes and rising crude oil prices.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted Net Loss was a loss of $48.0 million compared to a loss of $90.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement was primarily related to the factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020
Net Loss. Our financial results for the second quarter of 2021 improved from a net loss of $262.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to a net loss of $171.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by favorable feedstock, purchased product, and derivative costs at our Hawaii refinery, favorable inventory valuation adjustments in our Refining segment, the goodwill impairment of $67.9 million in our Refining and Retail segments and the other-than-temporary impairment of $45.3 million related to our equity investment in Laramie Energy in the six months ended June 30, 2020 with no such impairments in 2021, and a gain of $63.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions with no such gain in 2020. These benefits were partially offset by increased RINs expenses driven by higher RINs prices, the price lag impact associated with certain product sales contracts at our Hawaii refinery, higher costs associated with our inventory intermediation step-out obligations, and a $21.0 million tax benefit recorded in 2020 with no such benefit recorded in 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $50.0 million compared to a loss of $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decline was primarily related to the price lag impact associated with certain product sales contracts at our Hawaii refinery, increased fees related to our intermediation agreements, and higher RINs mark-to-market expenses related to prior year net obligations due to increasing RINs prices, partially offset by favorable feedstock, purchased product, and realized derivative costs at our Hawaii refinery and favorable inventory valuation adjustments at our Wyoming and Washington refineries. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 23% decrease in fuel margins at our Retail segment related to rising crude oil prices.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted Net Loss was $132.4 million compared to a loss of approximately $118.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decline was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

(1) We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.
(2) Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
(3) We believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) is the most representative market indicator of our current operations in Hawaii.
(4) We believe the Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Tacoma, Washington. The Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline (sub-octane), two parts middle distillates (ULSD and jet fuel), and one part fuel oil as created from five barrels of Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil.
(5) The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1
36
Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillates (ULSD) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”). Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.
Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as (i) operating income (loss) plus operating expense (excluding depreciation), impairment expense, inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments), depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”); Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) loss (gain) in excess of net obligation (which represents the income statement effect of reflecting our RINs liability on a net basis), loss (gain) on sale of assets, and unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives or (ii) revenues less cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) plus inventory valuation adjustment, unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, and RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation. We define cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) as the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our RINs and environmental credit obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and the inventory valuation adjustment that we exclude from Adjusted Gross Margin. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, Adjusted Gross Margin excludes the LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory. There was no LIFO liquidation adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is an important measure of operating performance and uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
Adjusted Gross Margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Gross Margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently as they may include other manufacturing costs and depreciation expense in cost of revenues.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Net income (loss) excluding changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, acquisition and integration costs, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, debt extinguishment and commitment costs, increase in (release of) tax valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments), severance costs, impairment expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets, Par’s share of Laramie Energy’s unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation, and impairment expense associated with our investment in Laramie Energy and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory. There was no LIFO liquidation adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding interest expense and financing costs, income taxes, DD&A, and equity losses (earnings) from Laramie Energy, excluding Par’s share of unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, impairment of Par’s investment, and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference.
We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess:
• The financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
• The ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness; and
• Our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.

Factors Impacting Segment Results
Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $99.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decline of $62.3 million compared to operating loss of $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by a $50.3 million increase in RINs expenses driven by higher RINs prices, a $158.4 million unfavorable change in lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments, and an unfavorable change in feedstock costs at our Washington refinery, partially offset by a 23% increase in sales volume and favorable crack spreads as demand increases due to the continued economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Other factors impacting our results period over period include higher internal fuel consumption, higher derivative costs, higher inventory financing costs, and higher depreciation expenses due to recently-completed capital projects.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $8.2 million compared to operating income of $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is due to net 34% higher throughput across our Wyoming logistics assets and 55% higher throughput across our Hawaii assets related to increased sales volumes, especially across the neighbor islands in Hawaii, primarily due to increased demand as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
40
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $3.5 million compared to operating income of $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 31% decrease in fuel margins related to rising crude oil prices and $1.4 million of rent expense in the second quarter of 2021 related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on February 23 and March 12, 2021, partially offset by a 28% increase in fuel sales volumes.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020
Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $190.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an improvement of $15.3 million compared to an operating loss of $205.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the reported loss was primarily driven by favorable feedstock and derivative costs and a favorable change in lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments, partially offset by a $128.3 million increase in RINs expenses driven by higher RINs prices, higher costs associated with our inventory intermediation step-out obligations, and the price lag impact associated with certain sales contracts at our Hawaii refinery. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a favorable FIFO impact in 2021 at our Wyoming refinery, no impairment in 2021 as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $38.1 million, and a 2021 gain of $19.6 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on February 23 and March 12, 2021.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was relatively consistent with $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $63.9 million compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in profitability is primarily due to a gain of $44.8 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on February 23 and March 12, 2021, no impairment in 2021 as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $29.8 million, and an increase in sales volumes of 5%, partially offset by a decrease in fuel margins of 23% related to rising crude oil prices.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Refining. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $19.2 million, an increase of $41.5 million compared to a loss of $22.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by improved crack spreads and a 23% increase in refining sales volumes, partially offset by higher RINs mark-to-market expenses driven by increasing RINs prices and rising feedstock costs at the Washington refinery. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refineries increased from a loss of $6.96 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to income of $0.34 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to improved contract terms and crack spreads, a 26% increase in sales volume, and favorable feedstock and purchased product costs, partially offset by increased RINs costs driven by a $12.7 million higher RINs mark-to-market expense and an unfavorable increase in logistics costs. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery increased $4.03 per barrel primarily due to improved crack spreads, a FIFO benefit related to increasing crude oil prices, and a 38% increase in sales volumes, partially offset by increased RINs costs driven by a $4.8 million higher RINs mark-to-market expense. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Washington refinery decreased $3.82 per barrel primarily due to a $4.1 million higher RINs mark-to-market expense, compressed heavy product spreads, and unfavorable feedstock costs, partially offset by improved crack spreads and an 11% increase in sales volume.
Logistics. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $23.4 million, an increase of $8.9 million compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to net 34% higher throughput across our Wyoming logistics assets and 55% higher throughput across our Hawaii logistics assets due to increased sales volumes in Hawaii, especially across the neighboring islands, driven by easing travel restrictions related to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Retail. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $31.8 million, a decrease of $2.4 million when compared to $34.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 31% decrease in fuel margins related to rising crude oil prices, partially offset by a 28% increase in sales volumes from the ongoing recovery.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020
Refining. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $15.3 million, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to higher
41
RINs expense driven by increasing RINs prices and higher inventory financing costs, partially offset by lower feedstock costs in Hawaii. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refineries improved from a loss of $2.73 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to a loss of $0.05 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to favorable feedstock and purchased product costs and realized derivative favorability, partially offset by a 12% decrease in sales volumes, the price lag impact associated with certain sales contracts, and increased RINs costs driven by a $39.8 million higher RINs mark-to-market expense. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery increased $4.35 per barrel primarily due to an $11.9 million favorable FIFO impact in 2021 compared to a $10.5 million unfavorable FIFO impact in the same period in 2020 and favorable crack spreads, partially offset by increased RINs costs driven by a $14.0 million higher RINs mark-to-market expense and higher feedstock costs. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Washington refinery decreased $7.68 per barrel primarily due to higher feedstock costs, compressed heavy product spreads, and a $12.1 million increase in RINs mark-to-market expense, partially offset by lower logistics costs.
Logistics. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $42.6 million, which was relatively consistent with our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin of $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Retail. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $57.1 million, a decrease of $8.5 million compared to $65.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 23% decrease in fuel margins related to rising crude oil prices, partially offset by a 5% increase in sales volumes from the ongoing recovery.
Discussion of Consolidated Results
Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenues were $1.2 billion, a $0.7 billion increase compared to $0.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.7 billion in third-party refining segment revenue as a result of increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices, a 23% increase in refining sales volumes, and an increase in average product cracks. Brent crude oil prices recovered to $69.08 per barrel during the second quarter of 2021 compared to $33.39 per barrel during the second quarter of 2020, and WTI crude oil prices recovered to $66.17 per barrel during the second quarter of 2021 compared to $28.00 per barrel during the second quarter of 2020.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $1.2 billion, a $0.8 billion increase compared to $0.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher Brent and WTI crude oil prices and higher refining volumes as discussed above, a $158.4 million unfavorable change in lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, higher feedstock costs at our Washington refinery, and a $50.3 million increase in the RINs expense driven by higher RINs prices.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2021, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $68.8 million, which was relatively consistent with $67.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization . For the three months ended June 30, 2021, DD&A was $23.5 million, which was relatively consistent with $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was $12.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employee costs and the use of outside services.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an acquisition and integration gain of $0.4 million, which was relatively consistent with $0.1 million of costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net . For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our interest expense and financing costs were $17.2 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change was driven by a $2.3 million increase in interest expense and financing costs related to the 12.875% Senior
42
Secured Notes issued in June 2020. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million due to the reduced principal and lower variable interest rates on our Term Loan B Facility, a $0.4 million decrease related to debt fully repaid during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and a net $0.2 million decrease in interest expense related to our inventory financing agreements.
Debt Extinguishment and Commitment Costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were $6.6 million and primarily represent extinguishment costs associated with the repayment of a portion of our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes on June 14, 2021.

Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues were $2.1 billion, a $0.4 billion increase compared to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.4 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of higher crude oil prices, partially offset by a 7% decrease in refining sales volumes. Average Brent crude oil prices recovered to $65.22 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $42.10 per barrel in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and WTI crude oil prices recovered to $62.18 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $36.99 in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues at our retail segment increased $27.2 million primarily due to a 5% increase in sales volumes and a 9% increase in fuel prices.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $2.1 billion, a $0.4 billion increase compared to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices as discussed above, a $128.3 million increase in the RINs expense driven by higher RINs prices, and higher inventory financing costs, partially offset by lower refining sales volumes and favorable purchased product and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery. Other factors impacting our results period over period are a $34.6 million favorable change in lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments and lower crude oil sales.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $143.0 million, which was relatively consistent with $140.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization . For the six months ended June 30, 2021, DD&A was $46.4 million, an increase of $3.0 million compared to $43.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to Hawaii refinery turnaround amortization.
Impairment Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $67.9 million related to our Refining and Retail segments as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a steep decline in current and forecasted prices and demand for crude oil and refined products. No such expense was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Gain on Sale of Assets, Net. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the gain on sale of assets, net was approximately $64.4 million and primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on February 23 and March 12, 2021. No such gain was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was $24.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased employee costs and an increase in the use of outside services.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, acquisition and integration costs were not significant. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $0.8 million of integration costs primarily related to the Washington Acquisition.
43
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net . For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our interest expense and financing costs were $35.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million when compared to $35.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $5.9 million increase in interest expense and financing costs related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020 and increased interest expense of $0.1 million related to the ABL Credit Facility. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million due to the interest rate derivatives terminated as of March 31, 2021 primarily related to the Retail Property Term Loan and $2.1 million due to the reduced principal and lower variable interest rates on our Term Loan B Facility. Other factors contributing to the decrease included a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense related to our inventory financing agreements and a $0.5 million decrease related to debt fully repaid during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Please read Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 9—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.

on derivatives are included in Equity earnings (losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(3) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no change in valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, change in value of common stock warrants, impairment expense, impairment of investment in Laramie Energy, unrealized gain on derivatives included in equity earnings from Laramie Energy, or equity losses from Laramie Energy. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no debt extinguishment costs, LIFO liquidation adjustment, or loss (gain) on sale of assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2021 was $243.5 million and consisted of $240.6 million at Par Petroleum, LLC and subsidiaries, $2.8 million at Par Pacific Holdings, and $0.1 million at all our other subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2021, we had access to the ABL Credit Facility, the MLC receivable advances, and cash on hand of $174.3 million. Beginning on July 1, 2021, we also had access to the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreement with J. Aron and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement, which are used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii and Washington refineries, respectively. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
In the first quarter of 2021, we closed on the sale and leaseback of twenty-two (22) of our retail properties in Hawaii for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $112.8 million net of transaction fees (the “Sale-Leaseback Transactions”). We used approximately $53.1 million of the net cash proceeds to repay the certain financing arrangements which were related to certain of the retail properties and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $87.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the offering of common stock to repay the $48.7 million in remaining aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes and $36.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and the remainder for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and funding working capital.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, or our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled approximately $19.7 million and were primarily related to the 2021 turnaround and related scheduled maintenance work at our Washington refinery, capital projects at our Hawaii refinery, and underground tank replacements, rebranding, and point of sale and other equipment upgrades at our Retail segment. Our capital expenditure and deferred turnaround cost budget for 2021 ranges from $35 to $45 million and primarily relates to a partial turnaround at our Washington refinery and scheduled sustaining maintenance, regulatory, and safety compliance projects across all businesses.
We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), or in releases made by the SEC, all as may be amended from time to time. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors including, without limitation, our expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our customers, and the markets where we operate; our beliefs with regard to available capital resources, our beliefs regarding the likelihood or impact of any potential fines or penalties and of the fair value of certain assets, and our expectations with respect to laws and regulations, including environmental regulations and related compliance costs and any fines or penalties related thereto; our expectations regarding the sufficiency of our cash flows and liquidity; our expectations regarding anticipated capital expenditures, including the timing and cost of compliance with consent decrees and other enforcement actions; our expectations regarding the impact of the adoption of certain accounting standards; our estimates regarding the fair value of certain indebtedness; estimated costs to settle claims from the Delta bankruptcy; the estimated value of, and our ability to settle, legal claims remaining to be settled against third parties; our expectations regarding the synergies or other benefits of our acquisitions; our expectations regarding certain tax liabilities and debt obligations; management’s assumptions about future events; our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital; our ability to make strategic investments in business opportunities; and the estimates, assumptions, and projections regarding future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows. These and other forward-looking statements could cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Par and its subsidiaries to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” or “scheduled to,” or other similar words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, including those set out in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Risk Factors.”
In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance; and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described above and under Critical Accounting Policies and Risk Factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Additionally, significant uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19 and its economic effects. Due to the unpredictable and unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot identify all potential risks to, and impacts on, our business, including the ultimate adverse economic impact to the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. However, the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company has been and will likely continue to be material. There can be no guarantee that the operational and financial measures the Company has taken, and may take in the future, will be fully effective. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
