Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
VLO defines return on invested capital (ROIC) as adjusted net income attributable to VLO before adjusted net interest expense after-tax
divided by average invested capital. VLO defines adjusted net income attributable to VLO as net income attributable to VLO
stockholders adjusted to reflect the after-tax effect of special items that VLO believes are not indicative of its core operating
performance and that may obscure VLO's underlying business results and trends. VLO defines adjusted net interest expense as "interest
and debt expense, net of capitalized interest" adjusted to exclude "interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest" attributable to
non-controlling interests. The income tax effect of adjusted net interest expense is estimated based on the U.S. statutory income tax
rate for the respective annual period. Average invested capital is defined as the average of total invested capital for the current annual
period and total invested capital for the prior annual period. VLO defines total invested capital as debt attributable to VLO plus VLO
stockholders' equity less cash and cash equivalents. Debt attributable to VLO is defined as the current portion of debt and finance lease
obligations, plus "debt and finance lease obligations, less current portion", less debt attributable to non-controlling interests. Debt
attributable to VLO for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes an adjustment to reflect the retrospective adoption of ASU No.
2015-15 subtopic 835-30, which resulted in the reclassification of certain debt issuance costs from "deferred charges and other assets,
net" to "debt and finance lease obligations, less current portion."
Adjusted EBITDA
VLO defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense, "interest and debt expense, net of capitalized
interest", income tax expense (benefit), and income (loss) from discontinued operations. VLO defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further
adjusted to reflect the effect of special items that VLO believes are not indicative of its core operating performance and that may
obscure VLO's underlying business results and trends. VLO believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful
information to investors to assess its ongoing financial performance because when reconciled to net income, it provides improved
comparability between periods. The U.S. GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash
provided by operating activities.
Renewable Diesel Net Cumulative Cash Flow
VLO defines renewable diesel net cumulative cash flow as DGD's cumulative adjusted EBITDA attributable to VLO, less DGD's cumulative
capital expenditures attributable to VLO. VLO defines DGD's adjusted EBITDA attributable to VLO as fifty percent (VLO's ownership
interest) of DGD's operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, and adjusted for 2017-2019 blender's tax credit
(BTC). VLO defines DGD's capital expenditures attributable to VLO as fifty percent of DGD's capital investments. Because DGD's net cash
flow is effectively attributable to each partner, only 50 percent of DGD's EBITDA and capital expenditures should be attributed to VLO's
renewable diesel cash flow. Therefore, renewable diesel cash flow has been adjusted for the portion of DGD's EBITDA and capital
expenditures attributable to VLO's joint venture partner's ownership interest because VLO believes that it more accurately reflects cash
flow generated by its renewable diesel segment.
