CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements”, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions, resources and expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor of the PSLRA except to the extent such statements relate to the operations of a partnership or limited liability company. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 of PBF Energy Inc., which we refer to as our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:

• supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products, including volatility in commodity prices;

• the effects of competition in our markets;

•changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and capital costs;

• adverse developments in our relationship with both our key employees and unionized employees;

•our ability to operate our businesses efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and generate earnings and cash flow;

•our substantial indebtedness;

•our supply and inventory intermediation arrangements expose us to counterparty credit and performance risk;

•termination of our A&R Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, as we would be required to finance our intermediate and refined products inventory covered by the agreements. Additionally, we are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron certain intermediates and finished products located at the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries’ storage tanks upon termination of these agreements;

•restrictive covenants in our indebtedness that may adversely affect our operational flexibility;

•payments to the current and former holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units under our tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim;

•our assumptions regarding payments arising under PBF Energy's tax receivable agreement and other arrangements relating to our organizational structure are subject to change due to various factors, including, among other factors, the timing of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of our Class A common

stock as contemplated by the tax receivable agreement, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income;

•our expectations and timing with respect to our acquisition activity and whether such acquisitions are accretive or dilutive to shareholders;

•our expectations with respect to our capital improvement and turnaround projects;

•the status of an air permit to transfer crude through the Delaware City refinery's dock;

•the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries, including disruptions due to

problems at PBFX or with third party logistics infrastructure or operations, including pipeline, marine and rail transportation;

•the possibility that we might reduce or not make further dividend payments;

•the inability of our subsidiaries to freely pay dividends or make distributions to us;

•the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including the implementation of rules and regulations regarding transportation of crude oil by rail;

•the effectiveness of our crude oil sourcing strategies, including our crude by rail strategy and related commitments;

•adverse impacts related to recent legislation by the federal government lifting the restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil;

•adverse impacts from changes in our regulatory environment, such as the effects of compliance with the California Global Warming Solutions Act (also referred to as "AB32"), or actions taken by environmental interest groups;

•market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standards and greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission credits required to comply with various GHG emission programs, such as AB32;

•our ability to complete the successful integration of the completed acquisitions of Chalmette Refining, L.L.C and related logistic assets (collectively, the “Chalmette Acquisition”) and the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrance Acquisition”) into our business and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions;

•liabilities arising from the Chalmette Acquisition and/or Torrance Acquisition that are unforeseen or exceed our expectations;

•risk associated with the operation of PBFX as a separate, publicly-traded entity;

•potential tax consequences related to our investment in PBFX; and

•any decisions we continue to make with respect to our energy-related logistical assets that may be transferred to PBFX.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2011 and completed an initial public offering in December 2012. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC's members other than PBF Energy. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC. PBF Finance Corporation (“PBF Finance”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“Delaware City Refining” or “DCR”), PBF Power Marketing LLC, PBF Energy Limited, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC, Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”) and PBF Western Region LLC (“PBF Western Region”) are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. PBF Western Region owns Torrance Refining Company LLC and Torrance Logistics Company LLC, which collectively own the operating assets of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. In addition, PBF LLC, through Chalmette Refining, holds a 100% interest in MOEM Pipeline LLC and an 80% interest in and consolidates Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company.

As of September 30, 2016, PBF LLC also holds a 44.2% limited partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a publicly traded master limited partnership (refer to “Note 2 - PBF Logistics LP” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) owns the noneconomic general partner interest and serves as the general partner of PBFX and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, consolidates the financial results of PBFX and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBFX's unit holders other than PBF LLC. Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding, and PBFX are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires.

On February 6, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of 3,804,653 shares of Class A common stock in a secondary offering (the “February 2015 secondary offering”). All of the shares in the February 2015 secondary offering were sold by funds affiliated with Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, and First Reserve Management, L.P., or First Reserve. In connection with the February 2015 secondary offering, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged all of their remaining PBF LLC Series A Units for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy, and as a result, Blackstone and First Reserve no longer hold any PBF LLC Series A Units or shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the February 2015 secondary offering.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company owns 97,825,148 PBF LLC Series C Units and the Company's current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially own 4,971,116 PBF LLC Series A Units. As of September 30, 2016, the holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 95.2% of the voting power in the Company and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have the remaining 4.8% of the voting power in the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed to operate logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities. PBFX's operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. Prior to the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase on April 29, 2016 (refer to "Note 3 - Acquisitions"), PBFX did not generate

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

third party revenue and intersegment revenues from affiliates are eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the PBFX initial public offering in May 2014, PBFX's assets, other than those acquired in connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase and the TVPC Contribution Agreement (refer to "Note 2 - PBF Logistics LP"), were operated within the refining operations of the Company's Delaware City and Toledo refineries. The assets, did not generate third party revenue nor, apart from Delaware Pipeline Company LLC, any intra-entity revenue and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flow.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 of PBF Energy. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" ("ASU 2015-02"), which changed existing consolidation requirements associated with the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities, including limited partnerships and variable interest entities. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" ("ASU 2015-16"), which requires (i) that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, (ii) that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, (iii) that an entity present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The adoption of this guidance did not materially affect any of the Company's financial statements or related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”) for all entities by one year. Additional ASUs have been issued in 2016 that provide certain implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the Company refers to ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs as the "Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance"). The Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Under ASU 2015-14, this guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits the use of either the retrospective

or cumulative effect transition method. Under ASU 2015-14, early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17"), which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Under ASU 2015-17, this guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual or interim period after the issuance of the ASU. The Company expects that the impact of adopting this new standard will be to reclassify all of its current deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to a net noncurrent asset or liability on its balance sheet.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”), which amends how entities measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and how they present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. ASU 2016-01 also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of current GAAP but does not change the guidance for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans. Under ASU 2016-01, this guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. The Company does not currently have any investments accounted for under the equity method but will apply this new standard should it acquire any such investments.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments No. 2016-06 March 2016 a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2016-06”), to increase consistency in practice in applying guidance on determining if an embedded derivative is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, specifically for assessing whether call (put) options that can accelerate the repayment of principal on a debt instrument meet the clearly and closely related criterion. The guidance in ASU 2016-06 applies to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. ASU 2016-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) which is intended to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled rather than recording excess tax benefits or deficiencies in additional paid-in capital. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 also contains additional guidance for nonpublic entities that do not apply to the Company. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires a modified retrospective

approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) which requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which reduces the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"), which reduces the existing diversity in practice in how income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory should be recognized. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 require an entity to recognize such income tax consequences when the intra-entity transfer occurs rather than waiting until such time as the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amendments do not contain any new disclosure requirements but point out that certain existing income tax disclosures might be applicable in the period an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which interim or annual statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control" ("ASU 2016-2017"), which amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendments in this ASU do not change the characteristics of a primary beneficiary in current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU require that reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. ASU 2016-2017 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. PBF LOGISTICS LP

On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”) of 15,812,500 common units. On April 5, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 2,875,000 common units, including 375,000 common units that were sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional common units, for net proceeds of $51,575, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “April 2016 PBFX Equity Offering”). In addition, on August 17, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 4,000,000 common units, including the underwriter's option to purchase an additional 600,000 common units, of which 375,000 units were subsequently purchased on September 14, 2016, for total net proceeds of $86,680, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “August 2016 PBFX Equity Offering” and, together with the April 2016 PBFX Offering, the "2016 PBFX Offerings").

On April 29, 2016, PBFX purchased four refined product terminals located in the greater Philadelphia region (the “East Coast Terminals”) from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. for total cash consideration of $100,000 (the “PBFX Plains Asset Purchase”), less a preliminary estimate for working capital, which is subject to final purchase price valuation and working capital adjustment. This acquisition expands PBFX's storage and terminaling footprint and introduces third-party customers to its revenue base. The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings from the PBFX senior secured revolving credit facility (the “PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”).

On August 31, 2016, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement (the "TVPC Contribution Agreement") between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBFX acquired from PBF LLC 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), whose assets consist of the San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system (which was acquired as a part of the Torrance Acquisition), including the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline systems including pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capability (collectively, the “Torrance Valley Pipeline”). The total consideration paid to PBF LLC was $175,000, which was funded by PBFX with $20,000 of cash on hand, $76,200 in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $78,800 in net proceeds from the PBFX August 2016 Equity Offering. PBFX borrowed an additional $76,200 under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $76,200 of the PBFX Term Loan (as defined below) in order to release $76,200 in marketable securities that had collateralized the PBFX Term Loan.

As of September 30, 2016, PBF LLC holds a 44.2% limited partner interest in PBFX (consisting of 2,572,944 common units and 15,886,553 subordinated units) and all of PBFX's incentive distribution rights, with the remaining 55.8% limited partner interest held by public common unit holders. PBF LLC also indirectly owns a non-economic general partner interest in PBFX through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF GP, the general partner of PBFX. During the subordination period (as set forth in the partnership agreement of PBFX) holders of the subordinated units are not entitled to receive any distribution of available cash until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. If PBFX does not pay distributions on the subordinated units, the subordinated units will not accrue arrearages for those unpaid distributions. Each subordinated unit will convert into one common unit at the end of the subordination period.

PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of certain of its refineries, as well as for third party customers. As of September 30, 2016, a substantial majority of PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil and refined products. In addition, subsequent to the Plains Asset Purchase, PBFX has begun to generate third-party revenue related to the East Coast Terminals. PBF Energy also has agreements with PBFX that establish fees for certain general and administrative services and operational and maintenance services provided by PBF Holding to PBFX. These transactions, other than those with third parties, are eliminated by PBF Energy in consolidation.

PBFX’s initial assets consisted of a light crude oil rail unloading terminal at the Delaware City refinery that also services the Paulsboro refinery (which is referred to as the “Delaware City Rail Terminal”), and a crude oil truck unloading terminal at the Toledo refinery (which is referred to as the “Toledo Truck Terminal”) that are integral components of the crude oil delivery operations at three of PBF Energy’s refineries. In a series of drop-down transactions subsequent to the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding distributed certain additional assets to PBF LLC which, in turn, transferred such assets to PBFX consisting of the Delaware City heavy crude unloading rack, which is also capable of unloading light crude oil (the "DCR West Rack"), a tank farm and related facilities located at PBF Energy's Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility (the "Toledo Storage Facility"), and a products pipeline, truck rack and related facilities located at our Delaware City refinery (collectively the "Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack"). On April 29, 2016, PBFX made its initial third-party asset purchase acquiring the East Coast Terminals. Additionally, on August 31, 2016, PBFX acquired a controlling 50% interest in the TVPC from PBF LLC pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Chalmette Acquisition

On November 1, 2015, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil, Mobil Pipe Line Company and PDV Chalmette, L.L.C., 100% of the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining, which owns the Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Chalmette Acquisition"). The Chalmette refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a dual-train coking refinery and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil. Subsequent to the closing of the Chalmette Acquisition, Chalmette Refining is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. Chalmette Refining is strategically positioned on the Gulf Coast with logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities, including the potential to export products and provides geographic diversification into PADD 3.

Chalmette Refining owns 100% of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility through a third party pipeline. Chalmette Refining also owns 80% of each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, both located in Collins, Mississippi, which provide a clean products outlet for the refinery to the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the acquisition are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or unloading finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility.

The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition was $322,000 in cash, plus inventory and final working capital of $245,963. As described below, the valuation of the working capital was finalized in the first quarter of 2016. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under PBF Holding's asset based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Loan”).

The Company accounted for the Chalmette Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of March 31, 2016. During the measurement period, which ended in March 2016, adjustments were made to the Company's preliminary fair value estimates related primarily to inventories and accounts payable.

The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:



	Purchase Price
Net cash	$	587,005
Cash acquired	(19,042		)
Total consideration	$	567,963

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining, the Company acquired Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, which are both C-corporations for tax purposes. As a result, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $25,721 attributable to the book and tax basis difference in the C-corporation assets, which had a corresponding impact on noncontrolling interests of $5,144.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the results of operations of the Chalmette refinery whereas the same periods in 2015 do not include the results of operations of the Chalmette refinery. On an unaudited pro forma basis, the revenues and net income of the Company assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014, are shown below.

PBFX Plains Asset Purchase

On April 29, 2016, PBFX's wholly-owed subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC, completed the purchase of the East Coast Terminals, including product storage tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company, Buckeye Partners, Sunoco Logistics Partners and other proprietary pipeline systems, truck loading lanes and marine facilities capable of handling barges and ships. This acquisition expands PBFX's storage and terminaling footprint and introduces third-party customers to its revenue base.

The aggregate purchase price for the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase was $100,000, less a preliminary estimate for working capital adjustments, which is subject to final purchase price valuation and working capital adjustments.

PBF ENERGY INC.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

The consideration for the transaction was funded by PBFX with $98,336 in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. PBFX borrowed an additional $98,500 under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $98,336 of the PBFX Term Loan (as defined below) in order to release $98,336 in marketable securities that had collateralized the PBFX Term Loan. Subsequent to the closing of the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimate for working capital of $37 as an increase to Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

PBFX accounted for the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase as a business combination under GAAP whereby PBFX recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The final purchase price and its allocation are dependent on final reconciliations of working capital and other items subject to agreement by both parties.

The total purchase consideration and the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:

Torrance Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and it's subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipe Line Company, the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Torrance Acquisition"). The Torrance refinery, located in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion, delayed-coking refinery. The facility is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets. The Torrance Acquisition provides the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increases the number of operating refineries from four to five and the Company's combined crude oil throughput capacity. The acquisition also provides the Company with a presence in the attractive PADD 5 market.

In addition to refining assets, the transaction includes a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction are several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport.

The aggregate purchase price for the Torrance Acquisition was $521,350 in cash including post-close purchase price adjustments, plus working capital of $450,582. In addition, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental and regulatory emission credit obligations in connection with the Torrance Acquisition. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand including proceeds from our October 2015 Equity Offering, and borrowings under our Revolving Loan.

The Company accounted for the Torrance Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price and fair value allocation may be subject to adjustment pending completion of the final purchase valuation which was in process as of September 30, 2016.

The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date, which may be subject to adjustment as noted above, were as follows:



	Purchase Price
Gross purchase price	$	537,500
Working capital	450,582

consumed in connection with its Crude Supply Agreement that expired on December 31, 2015; and light finished products sold to counterparties in connection with the A&R Intermediation Agreements and stored in the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries' storage facilities.

Due to the lower crude oil and refined product pricing environment beginning at the end of 2014 and continuing throughout 2015 and 2016, the Company recorded adjustments to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased operating income and net income by $103,990 and $62,810, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $900,493 at June 30, 2016 to $796,503 at September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased operating income and net income by $320,833 and $193,783, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $1,117,336 at December 31, 2015 to $796,503 at September 30, 2016.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased operating income and net income by $208,313 and $124,571, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $562,944 at June 30, 2015 to $771,257 at September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased operating income and net income by $81,147 and $48,526, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690,110 at December 31, 2014 to $771,257 at September 30, 2015.

The Company has the obligation to repurchase certain intermediates and finished products that are held in the Company’s refinery storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries in accordance with the A&R Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”). As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, a liability is recognized for the Inventory supply and intermediation arrangements and is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company's storage tanks under the A&R Inventory Intermediation Agreements, with any change in the market price being recorded in cost of sales.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Company's overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid expenses and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability.

8. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The U.S Treasury securities purchased by the Company with the proceeds from the PBFX Offering are used as collateral to secure a three-year, $300,000 term loan facility entered into by PBFX (the “PBFX Term Loan”). PBFX anticipates holding the securities for an indefinite amount of time (the securities will be rolled over as they mature). As necessary and at the discretion of PBFX, these securities are expected to be liquidated and the proceeds used to fund future capital expenditures. While PBFX does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates, some of PBFX's investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions, so these investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and are measured using Level 1 inputs. The maturities of the marketable securities range from one to three months and are classified on the balance sheet in current assets as of September 30, 2016. As described in "Note 3 - Acquisitions", PBFX sold $98,336 of

PBF ENERGY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

marketable securities to fund the consideration for the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase during the three months ended June 30, 2016. As described in "Note 2 - PBF Logistics LP", PBFX sold $76,200 of marketable securities to partially fund the consideration used to acquire the 50% interest in TVPC pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held $59,991 and $234,258, respectively, in marketable securities. As of September 30, 2016, the marketable securities were classified as current whereas at December 31, 2015, they were classified as non-current. The classification of the marketable securities on the balance sheet is consistent with the PBFX Term Loan they collateralize. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not material. The net realized gains or losses from the sale of marketable securities were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

9. INCOME TAXES

PBF Energy files federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to date has consisted solely of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 95.1% as of December 31, 2015 and approximately 95.2% as of September 30, 2016). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. As a result, PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX apart from the income tax of $348 and $1,513 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 attributable to those two C-Corporation subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining.

The income tax provision in the PBF Energy condensed consolidated financial statements of operations consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Current tax expense (benefit)	$	(69,406	)	$	58,193		$	(108,824	)	$	123,734
Deferred tax expense (benefit)	101,079			(46,668		)	194,431			27,338
Total tax expense	$	31,673		$	11,525		$	85,607		$	151,072

Income tax expense (benefit) is based on income before taxes attributable to PBF Energy and excludes income before taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests as such interests are not subject to income taxes. The difference between the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) and the income tax provision computed by applying the United States statutory rate and the difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the United States statutory rate are reconciled below:

Total	$	85,607		42.5	%	$	151,072		36.2	%

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $14,333 and $37,503, respectively, was 35.9% and 35.8%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $12,696 and $51,144, respectively, was 17.2% and 32.3%, respectively. The manufacturer’s benefit adjustment is primarily due to a change in inventory deductions realized on the Company's recently filed 2015 income tax returns which reduced the expected manufacturer’s benefit compared to the prior-year financial statements. Also, included in the provision to return adjustments are benefits related to the basis "step-ups" and tax receivable agreement liability changes, and a detriment for an increase of deferred tax liabilities as a result of ownership changes in 2015.

PBF Energy has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2016. PBF Energy does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

The Company’s refineries are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.

In connection with the Paulsboro refinery acquisition, the Company assumed certain environmental remediation obligations. The environmental liability of $11,198 recorded as of September 30, 2016 ($10,367 as of December 31, 2015) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8.0%. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, this liability is self-guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets and the Paulsboro refinery, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) (“Sunoco”) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011, subject to certain limitations.

In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company obtained $3,936 in financial assurance (in the form of a surety bond) to cover estimated potential site remediation costs associated with an agreed to Administrative Order of Consent with the EPA. The estimated cost assumes remedial activities will continue for a minimum of 30 years. Further, in connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at the refinery.

In connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase, PBFX is responsible for the environmental remediation costs for conditions that existed on the closing date up to a maximum of $250 per year for 10 years, with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. remaining responsible for any and all additional costs above such amounts during such period. The environmental liability of $2,284 recorded as of September 30, 2016 represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 1.83%. At September 30, 2016 the undiscounted liability is $2,500 and PBFX expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $1,250 over the next five years. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the non-current portion is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $146,300 as of September 30, 2016, related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. The Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $31,402 over the next five years. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to the Company’s ownership of the refinery. Specifically, the Company assumed responsibility for (i) a Notice of Violation issued on March 12, 2015 by the Southern California Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) relating to self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2012, (ii) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2013, (iii) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2014 and (iv) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2015. No settlement or penalty demand have been received to date with respect to these Notices. It is possible that SCAQMD will assess penalties in these matters in excess of $100 but any such amount is not expected to be material to the Company, individually or in the aggregate.

In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, all of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. Most of the Northeastern states will now require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur by July 1, 2018 (except for Pennsylvania and Maryland - 500 ppm sulfur required). All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the Clean Air Act. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January of 2017. The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. The EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The EPA was required to release the final annual standards for the Reformulated Fuels Standard (“RFS”) for 2014 no later than Nov 29, 2013 and for 2015 no later than Nov 29, 2014. The EPA did not meet these requirements but did release proposed standards for 2014. The EPA did not finalize this proposal in 2014. The EPA published the final 2014-2016 Renewable standards late in 2015. The EPA essentially set the standards for 2014 and 2015 at the estimated actual renewable fuel used in each year given they were for the most part regulating activities that had already occurred. In setting the 2016 standards the EPA recognized the E10 blend wall and used the general waiver authority to set the 2016 renewable fuel requirement lower than the original requirements stated in the Energy Independence Security Act (“EISA”). These new standards are being challenged by both renewable fuel producers and obligated parties in legal actions. The courts are attempting to consolidate some of these challenges. It appears unlikely the courts will be able resolve these issues before EPA releases the final 2017 standards late in 2016 assuming they stay on schedule. The EPA did propose the 2017 standards in May of 2016 and raised the requirements above the 2016 standards. Estimated 2016 production for the two categories are less than half of what will be needed to satisfy the proposed requirements in 2017. It is not clear that renewable fuel producers will be able to produce the volumes of these fuels required for blending in 2017. There are alternative options that could be used to satisfy these demands but using them will draw down available supply of excess RINs sometimes referred to as the “RIN bank” and will tighten the RIN market potentially raising RIN prices further. Industry organizations have pointed out the issues with the proposal to the EPA in commenting on the proposed standards. The EPA is continuing to receive comments on the new proposal and is targeting to release the final rule by the end of November 2016 as required. The Company is currently evaluating the final standards and they may have a material impact on the Company's cost of compliance with RFS 2.

The EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (BTA) as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, on December 1, 2015 the EPA finalized revisions to an existing air regulation concerning Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (“MACT”) for Petroleum Refineries. The regulation requires additional continuous monitoring systems for eligible process safety valves relieving to atmosphere, minimum flare gas heat (Btu) content, and delayed coke drum vent controls to be installed by January 30, 2019. In addition, a program for ambient fence line monitoring for benzene will need to be implemented by January 30, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the final standards to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the closing of the Torrance Acquisition, the Company became subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California to comply with Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”). AB 32 created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) and Cap and Trade. The Company is responsible for the AB 32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB 32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

However, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company is recovering the majority of these costs from its customers, and as such does not expect this obligation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB 32 or SB 32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. In late 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) initiated enforcement proceedings against companies it believes produced invalid RINs. On October 13, 2016, the Company’s subsidiaries, PBF Holding Company LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC and Delaware City Refining Company LLC were notified by the EPA that its records indicated that these entities used potentially invalid RINs. The EPA directed each of the subsidiaries to resubmit reports to remove the potentially invalid RINs and to replace the invalid RINs with valid RINs with the same D Code. The Company is in the process of identifying whether any of those RINs are invalid and assessing how the invalid RINs will be replaced, including seeking indemnification from the counterparty who supplied the potentially invalid RINS. While we do not know what actions the EPA will take, or penalties it will impose with respect to these identified RINs or any other RINs we have purchased that the EPA may identify as being invalid, at this time, we do not expect any such action or penalties would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement

The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy ultimately may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. For example, PBF LLC is required to include in taxable income PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s taxable income and gains (such share to be determined pursuant to the partnership agreement of PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions received by PBF LLC from PBFX, and such taxable income and gains will flow-through to PBF Energy to the extent of its allocable share of the taxable income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately available to PBF Energy on account of its indirect interest in PBFX may not be sufficient for PBF Energy to pay the amount of taxes it will owe on account of its indirect interests in PBFX.

Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro-rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro-rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year

PBF ENERGY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. PBF LLC obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.

Tax Receivable Agreement

PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 95.2% interest in PBF LLC as of September 30, 2016 (95.1% as of December 31, 2015). PBF LLC obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has recognized a liability for the tax receivable agreement of $664,425 ($661,418 as of December 31, 2015) reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that the Company expects to pay under the agreement.

11. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, PBF LLC made aggregate non-tax quarterly distributions of $0.90 per unit to its members, of which $88,043 was distributed pro-rata to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to its other members. PBF Energy used this $88,043 to pay quarterly cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 8, 2016, May 31, 2016 and August 23, 2016.

With respect to distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, PBFX paid a distribution on outstanding common and subordinated units of $0.41 per unit on March 8, 2016, $0.42 per unit on May 31, 2016 and $0.43 per unit on August 23, 2016 for a total distribution of $48,043, of which $25,480 was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unit holders.

12. TREASURY STOCK

On August 19, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200,000 of the Company's Class A common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). On October 29, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $100,000 increase to the existing Repurchase Program. On September 26, 2016,

PBF ENERGY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

the Company's Board of Directors approved a two year extension to the Repurchase Program. As a result of the extension, the Repurchase Program will expire on September 30, 2018. No repurchases of the Company's Class A common stock were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. From the inception of the Repurchase Program through September 30, 2016, the Company has purchased approximately 6.05 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock through open market transactions under the Repurchase Program, for a total of $150,804.

These repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has the ability to purchase an additional $149,196 in common stock under the approved Repurchase Program.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

In August 2016 the Company amended the PBF Energy Pension Plan and the Post Retirement Medical Plan to, among other things, incorporate into the plan all employees who became employed at the Company's California locations on July 1, 2016, in connection with the Torrance Acquisition. The amendments to the plan were effective as of July 1, 2016. The components of net periodic benefit cost related to the Company’s defined benefit plans consisted of the following:

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The tables below present information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. We have posted cash margin with various counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The cash margin posted is required by counterparties as collateral deposits and cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:


•	Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents.


•	Marketable securities, consisting primarily of US Treasury securities, categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices.


•	The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

•

The commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps were derived using broker quotes, prices from other third party sources and other available market based data.


•	The derivatives included with inventory supply arrangement obligations, derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst lease obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

Non-qualified pension plan assets are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $9,773 and $9,325, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets.

The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015

(a) The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the Senior Secured Notes and the PBFX Senior Notes.

(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.

(c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company's liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst.

15. DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company’s crude supply agreement contained purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil and other feedstocks. In addition, the Company entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements commencing in July 2013 that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, feedstocks, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.

As of September 30, 2016, there were no barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (no barrels at December 31, 2015) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2015) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2016, there were 3,284,395 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,776,011 barrels at December 31, 2015) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at

December 31, 2015) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.

The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of September 30, 2016, there were 22,482,500 barrels of crude oil and 8,927,000 barrels of refined products (39,577,000 and 4,599,136, respectively, as of December 31, 2015), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.

The following tables provide information about the fair values of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the line items in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in which the fair values are reflected.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company's Refining Segment includes the operations of its five refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX. The Company's refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, New Orleans, Louisiana and Torrance, California. The refineries produce unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. The Company purchases crude oil, other feedstocks and blending components from various third-party suppliers. The Company sells products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and is able to ship products to other international destinations.

Logistics

The Company formed PBFX, a publicly traded master limited partnership, to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets consist of (i) a rail terminal which has a double loop track and ancillary pumping and unloading equipment located at the Delaware City refinery; (ii) a truck terminal comprised of six lease automatic custody transfer units accepting crude oil deliveries by truck located at the Toledo refinery; (iii) a heavy crude rail unloading rack located at the Delaware City refinery; (iv) a tank farm, including a propane storage and loading facility at the Toledo Refinery; (v) an interstate petroleum products pipeline and a 15-lane truck loading rack both located at the Delaware City refinery; (vi) the East Coast Terminals consisting of product storage tanks and terminal operations with pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company, Buckeye Partners, Sunoco Logistics Partners and other proprietary pipeline systems, truck loading lanes and marine facilities capable of handling barges and ships; and (vii) fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC, whose assets consist of the Torrance Valley Pipeline. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third party customers through fee-based commercial agreements. Apart from the East Coast Terminals, PBFX currently does not generate third party revenue and, as such, intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the PBFX Offering, PBFX's assets, other than those acquired in connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase and the TVPC Contribution Agreement, were operated within the refining operations of the Company's Delaware City and Toledo refineries and did not generate third party revenue nor, apart from Delaware Pipeline Company LLC, any intra-entity revenue and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment's revenues include inter-segment transactions with the Company's Refining segment at prices the Company believes are substantially equivalent to the prices that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Activities of the Company's business that are not included in the two operating segments are included in Corporate. Such activities consist primarily of corporate staff operations and other items that are not specific to the normal operations of the two operating segments. The Company does not allocate certain items of other income and expense, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refinery segment's operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes.

Disclosures regarding our reportable segments with reconciliations to consolidated totals for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 are presented below.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of PBF Energy Inc. included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries and PBFX and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and are able to ship products to other international destinations. We were formed in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. As of September 30, 2016, we own and operate five domestic oil refineries and related assets, which we acquired in 2010, 2011, 2015 and 2016. As of September 30, 2016, our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 900,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 12.2. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics.

Our five refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, New Orleans, Louisiana and Torrance, California. Our Mid-Continent refinery at Toledo processes light, sweet crude, and has a throughput capacity of 170,000 bpd and a Nelson Complexity Index of 9.2. The majority of Toledo’s West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) based crude is delivered via pipelines that originate in both Canada and the United States. Since our acquisition of Toledo in 2011, we have added additional truck and rail crude unloading capabilities that provide feedstock sourcing flexibility for the refinery and enables Toledo to run a more cost-advantaged crude slate. Our East Coast refineries at Delaware City and Paulsboro have a combined refining capacity of 370,000 bpd and Nelson Complexity Indices of 11.3 and 13.2, respectively. These high-conversion refineries process primarily medium and heavy, sour crudes and have the flexibility to receive crude and feedstock via both water and rail. We have expanded and upgraded existing on-site railroad infrastructure at our Delaware City refinery, including the expansion of the crude rail unloading facilities that was completed in February 2013. The Delaware City rail unloading facility, which was transferred to PBFX in 2014, allows our East Coast refineries the flexibility to source WTI-based crudes from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, when doing so provides cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crudes. We believe this sourcing optionality can be a beneficial component to the profitability of our East Coast refining system in certain crude pricing environments. The Chalmette refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 189,000 bpd, dual-train coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 12.7 and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil. The facility is strategically positioned on the Gulf Coast with strong logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities, including the potential to export products. The Torrance refinery, located on 750 acres in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion 155,000 barrel per day, delayed-coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 14.9. The Torrance refinery provides the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increases the Company's combined crude oil throughput capacity to approximately 900,000 bpd. The Torrance refinery also provides the Company with a presence in the attractive PADD 5 market.

As of September 30, 2016, we owned 97,825,148 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others held 4,971,116 PBF LLC Series A Units (we refer to all of the holders of the PBF LLC Series A Units as “the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”). As a result, the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock have approximately

95.2% of the voting power in us, and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have approximately 4.8% of the voting power in us.

Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods

Our results have been affected by the following events, which must be understood in order to assess the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.

Torrance Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (together, the “Torrance Sellers”), the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrance Acquisition”). The Torrance refinery, located on 750 acres in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion 155,000 barrel per day, delayed-coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 14.9. The facility is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets. The Torrance Acquisition further increased the Company's total throughput capacity to approximately 900,000 bpd.

In addition to refining assets, the Torrance Acquisition includes a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 189-mile crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction are several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport. The Torrance refinery also has crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.6 million barrels of shell capacity.

The purchase price for the assets was $521.4 million, plus working capital of $450.6 million. The purchase price and fair value allocation may be subject to adjustment pending completion of the final valuation which was in process as of September 30, 2016. In addition, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental and regulatory emission credit obligations in connection with the Torrance Acquisition. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from our October 2015 Equity Offering, and borrowings under our Revolving Loan.

TVPC Contribution Agreement

On August 31, 2016, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement (the "TVPC Contribution Agreement") between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBFX acquired from PBF LLC 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), whose assets consist of the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system, including the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline systems, including 11 pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capability at two of the stations (collectively, the “Torrance Valley Pipeline”). The total consideration paid to PBF LLC was $175.0 million, which was funded by PBFX with $20.0 million of cash on hand, $76.2 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $78.8 million in net proceeds from the PBFX August 2016 Equity Offering. PBFX borrowed an additional $76.2 million under its Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $76.2 million of its Term Loan in order to release $76.2 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.

PBFX Operating Company LP ("PBFX Op Co"), PBFX’s wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as TVPC's managing member. PBFX, through its ownership of PBFX Op Co, has the sole ability to direct the activities of TVPC that most significantly impact its economic performance. PBFX is also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes, and as a result fully consolidates the net assets and results of operations of TVPC with the 50% of TVPC it does not own recorded as noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The TVPC noncontrolling interest at PBFX eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level.

PBFX Plains Asset Purchase

On April 29, 2016, PBFX's wholly-owed subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC, completed the purchase of the assets of four refined product terminals located in the greater Philadelphia region (the “East Coast Terminals”) from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. The East Coast Terminals include a total of 57 product tanks with a total shell capacity of approximately 4.2 million barrels, pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company, Buckeye Partners, Sunoco Logistics Partners and other proprietary pipeline systems, 26 truck loading lanes and marine facilities capable of handling barges and ships.With the Plains Asset Purchase, PBFX increased its total shell capacity to over 8.1 million barrels. This acquisition expands PBFX's storage and terminaling footprint and introduces third-party customers to its revenue base.

The total cash consideration for the Plains Asset Purchase was approximately $100.0 million, less a preliminary estimate for working capital, which is subject to final valuation and settlement of working capital. The transaction was financed by PBFX with $98.3 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. PBFX borrowed an additional $98.5 million under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, which were used to repay $98.3 million of the PBFX Term Loan in order to release $98.3 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the PBFX Term Loan.

2016 PBFX Equity Offerings

On April 5, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 2,875,000 common units, including 375,000 common units that were sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $51.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “April 2016 PBFX Equity Offering”). In addition, on August 17, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 4,000,000 common units, and on September 14, 2016, an additional 375,000 units were subsequently purchased pursuant to the over-allotment option, for total net proceeds of $86.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “August 2016 PBFX Equity Offering” and, together with the April 2016 PBFX Offering, the “2016 PBFX Equity Offerings”). As a result of the 2016 PBFX Equity Offerings, as of September 30, 2016, PBF LLC holds a 44.2% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX's IDRs, with the remaining 55.8% limited partner interest owned by public common unit holders.

Chalmette Acquisition

On November 1, 2015, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, Mobil Pipe Line Company and PDV Chalmette, Inc., 100% of the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining, L.L.C (“Chalmette Refining”), which owns the Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets. The Chalmette refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a dual-train coking refinery and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil. Subsequent to the closing of the Chalmette Acquisition, Chalmette Refining is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding.

The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition was $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital of $246.0 million, which was finalized in the first quarter of 2016. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Loan.

Initial Public Offering of PBFX and Subsequent Drop-Down Transactions

On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”) of 15,812,500 common units, including 2,062,500 common units issued upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Subsequent to the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding and PBF LLC entered into a series of drop-down transactions with PBFX and PBFX completed the acquisition of the East Coast Terminals.

PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, Delaware master limited partnership formed by PBF Energy to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling and transferring of crude oil and the receipt, storage and delivery of crude oil, refined products and intermediates. PBFX’s assets consist of a light crude oil rail unloading terminal at the Delaware City refinery that also services the Paulsboro refinery (which we refer to as the “Delaware City Rail Terminal”), a crude oil truck unloading terminal at the Toledo refinery (which we refer to as the “Toledo Truck Terminal”), the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility, the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, the East Coast Terminals and TVPC. Apart from the East Coast Terminals, PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling, transferring and storing crude oil and refined products. These transactions are eliminated by PBF Energy in consolidation.

During 2014, PBFX acquired from PBF LLC the DCR West Rack, a heavy crude oil rail unloading facility (also, capable of unloading light crude oil) at the Delaware City refinery and the Toledo Storage Facility, a tank farm and related facilities located at our Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility.

On May 14, 2015, PBFX acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Delaware Pipeline Company LLC and Delaware City Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a product pipeline, truck rack and related facilities located at our Delaware City refinery (collectively referred to as the “Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack”).

On August 31, 2016, PBFX acquired from PBF LLC 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC, whose assets consist of the Torrance Valley Pipeline.

Amended and Restated Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

On an ongoing basis, the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ("Revolving Loan") is available to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In November and December 2015, PBF Holding increased the maximum availability under the Revolving Loan to $2.60 billion and $2.64 billion, respectively, in accordance with its accordion feature.

As noted in "Note 3 - Acquisitions", the Company drew down under its Revolving Loan to partially fund the Torrance Acquisition.

Senior Secured Notes Offering

On November 24, 2015, PBF Holding and PBF Finance Corporation issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Secured Notes"). The net proceeds were approximately $490.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Torrance Acquisition.

Rail Facility Revolving Credit Facility

Effective March 25, 2014, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, entered into a $250.0 million secured revolving credit agreement (the “Rail Facility”). The primary purpose of the Rail Facility is to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of coiled and insulated crude tank cars and non-coiled and non-insulated general purpose crude tank cars (the “Eligible Railcars”) before December

2015. The amount available to be advanced under the Rail Facility equals 70% of the lesser of the aggregate Appraised Value of the Eligible Railcars, or the aggregate Purchase Price of such Eligible Railcars, as these terms are defined in the credit agreement.

On April 29, 2015, the Rail Facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity from March 31, 2016 to April 29, 2017, reduce the total commitment from $250.0 million to $150.0 million, and reduce the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Rail Facility. Additionally, the total commitment amount was reduced further to $100.0 million in 2016, and the Rail Facility was amended again on July 15, 2016 to, among other things, extend the maturity from April 29, 2017 to October 31, 2017. The amendment also reduced the aggregate commitment to the amount outstanding, therefore, eliminating the commitment fee, and requires the Company to repay $20.0 million of the outstanding balance on or prior to January 1, 2017. At any time prior to maturity PBF Rail may repay any advances without premium or penalty.

PBFX Debt Facilities

On May 12, 2015, PBFX entered into an Indenture among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PBFX (“PBF Logistics Finance,” and together with PBFX, the “Issuers”), the Guarantors named therein (certain subsidiaries of PBFX) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “PBFX Senior Notes”). PBF LLC has provided a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the indenture. Of the $350.0 million aggregate PBFX Senior Notes, $19.9 million were purchased by certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates pursuant to a separate private placement transaction. After deducting offering expenses, PBFX received net proceeds of approximately $343.0 million from the PBFX Senior Notes offering. As discussed in "Note 2- PBF Logistics LP", during 2016 PBFX drew down on its revolving credit facility to fund the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase and the acquisition of TVPC.

J. Aron Intermediation Agreements

On May 29, 2015, PBF Holding entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements (the “A&R Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company (“J. Aron”) pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the term for a period of two years from the original expiry date of July 1, 2015, subject to certain early termination rights. In addition, the A&R Intermediation Agreements include one-year renewal clauses by mutual consent of both parties.

Pursuant to each A&R Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the “Products”) produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the “Refineries”), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the Refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to Paulsboro refinery and Delaware City refinery as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries' tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the A&R Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the Products independently to third parties.

Crude Oil Acquisition Agreements

Effective December 31, 2015, our crude oil supply agreement with Statoil for the Delaware City refinery expired. Subsequent to the termination of the Statoil supply agreement, we purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs independently from a variety of suppliers, including Saudi Aramco and others, on the spot market or through term agreements. In connection with the Chalmette Acquisition we entered into a contract with PDVSA for the supply of 40,000 to 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at any of our East or Gulf Coast refineries. In connection with the closing of the Torrance Acquisition, we entered into a crude supply agreement with ExxonMobil for approximately 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at our Torrance refinery.

Public Offerings

On February 6, 2015, funds affiliated with Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged 3,804,653 PBF LLC Series A units for the same number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock which were subsequently sold in a secondary public offering (the “February 2015 secondary offering” and collectively with the secondary offerings completed in 2013 and 2014, the “secondary offerings”). As a result of these secondary offerings, Blackstone and First Reserve no longer hold any PBF LLC Series A units. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain current and former executive officers of PBF Energy, received a portion of the proceeds of the sales of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by Blackstone and First Reserve in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the secondary offerings.

On October 13, 2015, we completed a public offering of an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock (the " October 2015 Equity Offering"), including 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock that was sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $344.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

As of December 31, 2015, we owned 97,781,933 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees beneficially owned 4,985,358 PBF LLC Series A Units, and the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock had 95.1% of the voting power in us and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock had the remaining 4.9% of the voting power in us.

As of September 30, 2016, we currently own 97,825,148 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially own 4,971,116 PBF LLC Series A Units, and the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 95.2% of the voting power in us and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have the remaining 4.8% of the voting power in us.

Results of Operations

The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands, except per share data). We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our oil refineries, excluding the assets owned by PBFX, are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that operates logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX's operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. Prior to the PBFX Offering and PBFX's acquisition of the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, PBFX's assets were operated within the refining operations of our Delaware City and Toledo refineries and did not generate third party revenue nor, apart from Delaware Pipeline Company LLC, any intra-entity revenue and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment. From the period between the closing of the Torrance Acquisition on July 1, 2016 and its acquisition by PBFX on August 31, 2016, the assets of TVPC were operated within our Torrance refinery and did not generate any third party revenue. We did not analyze our results by individual segments as, apart from the East Coast Terminals, our Logistics segment did not have any third party revenue and substantially all of its operating results eliminate in consolidation.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

Overview— Net income was $56.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net income of $55.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Net income attributable to PBF Energy was $42.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 ($0.43 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $(0.16) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $42.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 ($0.49 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $1.87 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income or loss attributable to PBF Energy represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax expense. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 95.2% and 94.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were positively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a pre-tax inventory lower of cost or market (“LCM”) adjustment of approximately $104.0 million or $62.8 million net of tax. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively impacted by a pre-tax inventory LCM adjustment of approximately $208.3 million or $124.6 million net of tax. These LCM adjustments were recorded due to significant changes in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve, our results were negatively impacted by lower crack spreads, unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials, increased costs to comply with the Renewable

Fuel Standard and higher interest costs, offset by a positive earnings contribution from the Chalmette and Torrance refineries.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $4.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $3.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $1.3 billion, or 40.3%. Revenues per barrel were $62.39 and $73.56 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of 15.2% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 315,900 bpd, 165,300 bpd, 165,600 bpd and 139,500 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 301,800 bpd and 173,600 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2016 compared to 2015 increased for the periods presented as a result of unplanned downtime in August 2015 and a planned turnaround in September 2015 at our Delaware City refinery. The decrease in throughput at our Mid-Continent refinery is due to higher run rates in the third quarter of 2015 in response to more favorable crack spreads at our Toledo refinery, which ran at more normalized levels in the third quarter of 2016. Our Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries were not acquired until the fourth quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2016, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 345,800 bpd, 177,200 bpd, 209,300 bpd and 177,100 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 355,400 bpd and 179,700 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $195.2 million, or $2.70 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $150.8 million, or $3.45 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $44.4 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $604.4 million, or $8.36 per barrel of throughput ($500.4 million or $6.92 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $359.2 million, or $8.21 per barrel of throughput ($567.5 million or $12.97 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $245.1 million or a decrease of approximately $67.1 million excluding special items. Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin decreased primarily due to lower crack spreads as above-average refined product inventory levels continued to weigh on margins, unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials, and increased costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, partially offset by positive margin contributions from the Chalmette and Torrance refineries acquired in the fourth quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2016, respectively. Costs to comply with our obligation under the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") were $55.4 million in total for the three months ended September 30, 2016 (excluding our Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries, whose costs to comply with RFS totaled $39.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016) compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $104.0 million on a net basis resulting from the change in crude oil and refined product prices from the end of the second quarter of 2016 to the end of the third quarter of 2016 which, in addition to remaining below historical costs, increased since the prior quarter. The non-cash LCM adjustment decreased gross margin and gross refining margin by approximately $208.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were weaker during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $13.64 per barrel or 43.2% lower in the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $24.03 per barrel in the same period in 2015. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differential. Additionally, those margins were negatively impacted by a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $0.95

per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to a discount of $1.02 per barrel in the same period of 2015.

The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $12.94 per barrel, or 26.5% lower in the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $17.60 per barrel in the same period in 2015. The Dated Brent/WTI differential was $2.89 lower in the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. In addition, the WTI/Bakken differential was approximately $1.85 per barrel less favorable in the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $412.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $203.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $208.8 million, or 102.4%. Of the total $412.7 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016, $404.0 million or $5.59 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $8.7 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($3.8 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to the Logistics segment). The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the operating costs of the Chalmette and Torrance refineries and related logistics assets acquired in November 2015 and July 2016, respectively, which totaled approximately $88.0 million and $127.1 million, respectively, for the quarter, partially offset by lower maintenance, energy and utility expenses. The operating expenses related to the Logistics segment consists of costs related to the operation and maintenance of PBFX's assets.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $44.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $51.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of approximately $7.1 million or 13.9%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 over the same period of 2015 primarily relates to reduced employee related expenses of $16.0 million mainly due to lower incentive compensation expenses, partially offset by $2.8 million in additional outside services to support our refineries, an increase of $3.7 million in acquisition related costs, a one-time charge of $2.5 million related to an executive retirement, higher expenses at PBFX of $1.4 million primarily attributable to the East Coast Terminals, and $0.9 million in additional expense related to the change in the tax receivable agreement liability. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Loss (gain) on Sale of Assets— There was a loss of $8.2 million on the sale of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2016 relating to the sale of non-refining assets in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 which related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $56.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $48.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $7.9 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Chalmette Acquisition, the Plains Asset Purchase and the Torrance Acquisition and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2015.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability— Change in the tax receivable agreement liability for the three months ended September 30, 2016 represented a loss of $3.1 million as compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the same period in 2015.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a gain of $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. These gains relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $28.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $10.5 million. This increase is mainly attributable to higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the 2023 Senior Secured Notes in November 2015 and the drawdown on our Revolving Loan to partially fund the Torrance Acquisition in July 2016. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, financing costs associated with the A&R Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax apart from the income tax attributable to certain subsidiaries of PBF Holding or its subsidiaries that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. However, the members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC's amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy's allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 95.2% and 94.4%, on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy's effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 43.1% and 21.2%, respectively, reflecting tax adjustments for discrete items and the impact of tax return to income tax provision adjustments.

Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of our initial public offering ("IPO") and the related reorganization transactions, PBF Energy became the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holders of PBFX, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, the Company records a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF Energy other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX and by the third party holder of Chalmette Refining's subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unit holders of PBFX and by the third party interest holder of Chalmette Refining's subsidiaries. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately 4.8% and 5.6%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Overview— Net income was $153.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net income of $317.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income attributable to PBF Energy was $116.3 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 ($1.19 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or a net loss of $0.67 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as

described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $265.9 million, or $3.06 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 ($3.06 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $3.61 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income or loss attributable to PBF Energy represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax expense. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 95.2% and 93.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were positively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a pre-tax LCM adjustment of approximately $320.8 million or $193.8 million net of tax. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively impacted by a pre-tax LCM adjustment of approximately $81.1 million, or $48.5 million net of tax. These LCM adjustments were recorded due to significant changes in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve, our results were negatively impacted by unfavorable movements in certain crude oil differentials, lower crack spreads, increased costs to comply with the RFS, and increased interest costs partially offset by positive earnings contributions from the Chalmette and Torrance refineries and higher throughput in the Mid-Continent. Throughput volumes in the Mid-Continent were impacted by unplanned downtime in the second quarter of 2015.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $11.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $9.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $1.4 billion, or 14.4%. Revenues per barrel were $57.28 and $74.80 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of 23.4% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 327,900 bpd, 165,700 bpd 171,300 bpd and 139,600 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 325,400 bpd and 152,700 bpd, respectively. The slight increase in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily due to the planned and unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery in 2015, partially offset by weather-related unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery in 2016 is due to unplanned downtime in the second quarter of 2015. Our Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries were not acquired until the fourth quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 366,000 bpd, 175,700 bpd, 209,000 bpd and 177,100 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 363,400 bpd and 163,000 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $524.0 million, or $2.69 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $686.4 million, or $5.26 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $162.4 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,529.6 million, or $7.85 per barrel of throughput ($1,208.7 million or $6.20 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $1,349.0 million, or $10.33 per barrel of throughput ($1,430.2 million or $10.95 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $180.6 million or a decrease of $221.5 million excluding special items. Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin decreased due to unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials, lower crack spreads as persistent above-average refined product inventory levels weighed on margins, and increased costs to comply with the RFS, partially offset by higher throughput rates in the Mid-Continent and positive margin contributions from the Chalmette and Torrance refineries acquired in the fourth quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2016, respectively. Costs to comply with our obligation under the RFS totaled $170.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (excluding our

Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries, whose costs to comply with RFS totaled $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016) compared to $108.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $320.8 million on a net basis resulting from the change in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2015 to the end of the third quarter of 2016 which, while remaining below historical costs, increased since the year end. The non-cash LCM adjustment decreased gross margin and gross refining margin by approximately $81.1 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were weaker during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $13.07 per barrel, or 34.9% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $20.09 per barrel in the same period in 2015. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differential and an adverse WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $2.67 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to a premium of $1.19 per barrel in the same period of 2015.

The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $13.18 per barrel, which was approximately 25.7% lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $17.75 per barrel in the same period in 2015. The Dated Brent/WTI differential and Dated Brent/Maya differential were $3.97 and $0.55 lower, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. In addition, the WTI/Bakken differential was approximately $2.36 per barrel less favorable in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $989.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $635.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $353.4 million, or 55.6%. Of the total $989.3 million of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $972.2 million or $4.98 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $17.1 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($10.4 million of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the Logistics segment). The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the operating expenses associated with the Chalmette and Torrance refineries and related logistics assets which totaled approximately $248.0 million and $127.1 million, respectively. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, excluding our Chalmette and Torrance refineries, increased slightly but were largely offset by lower energy costs, mainly due to lower natural gas prices. The operating expenses related to the Logistics segment consists of costs related to the operation and maintenance of PBFX's assets, which were higher primarily due to the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase in 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $125.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $126.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million or 1.1%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 over the same period of 2015 primarily relates to reduced employee related expenses of $27.3 million mainly due to lower incentive compensation expenses, partially offset by $10.1 million in additional outside services to support our refineries, including the Torrance refinery, an increase of $15.3 million in acquisition related costs for the period, as well as increased expenses of $4.1 million at PBFX, primarily as a result of the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Loss (gain) on Sale of Assets— There was a loss of $11.4 million on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 relating to the sale of non-refining assets as compared to a gain of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 which related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $163.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $144.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $18.6 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with

the assets acquired in the Chalmette and Torrance Acquisitions and the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter 2015.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability— Change in the tax receivable agreement liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 represented a loss of $3.1 million as compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the same period in 2015.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a loss of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a gain of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These losses and gains relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $112.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $77.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $34.9 million. This increase is mainly attributable to higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes in May 2015, the 2023 Senior Secured Notes in November 2015 and the drawdown under our Revolving Loan to partially fund the Torrance Acquisition in July 2016, partially offset by lower letter of credit fees. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, financing costs associated with the A&R Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax apart from the income tax attributable to certain subsidiaries of PBF Holding or its subsidiaries that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. However, the members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC's amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy's allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 95.2% and 93.7%, on a weighted-average basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy's effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 42.5% and 36.2%, respectively, reflecting tax adjustments for discrete items and the impact of tax return to income tax provision adjustments..

Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of our IPO and the related reorganization transactions, PBF Energy became the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holders of PBFX, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, the Company records a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF Energy other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX and by the third party holder of Chalmette Refining's subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unit holders of PBFX and by the third

party holder of Chalmette Refining's subsidiaries. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately 4.8% and 6.3%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). 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 entitled measures reported by other companies.

Special Items

The non-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted net income excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items, and gross refining margin excluding special items. The special items for the periods presented relate to an LCM adjustment and changes in the tax receivable agreement liability. LCM is a GAAP guideline related to inventory valuation that requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and a LCM adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. Changes in the tax receivable agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in our obligation under the tax receivable agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates. Although we believe that non-GAAP financial measures, excluding the impact of special items, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for helpful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss)

PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and GAAP results are as follows:


1.	Assumed Exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.

Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy's IPO, we were organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy's IPO, not all of our earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that we had adopted our post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and are taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of our earnings that is subject to corporate income tax.

The following table reconciles our Adjusted Fully-Converted results with our results presented in accordance with GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

(2)		Represents an adjustment to apply PBF Energy's statutory tax rate of approximately 39.6% for the 2016 periods and 40.2% for the 2015 periods to the noncontrolling interest. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(3)		During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a pre-tax benefit of $104.0 million, reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $900.5 million at June 30, 2016 to $796.5 million at September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a pre-tax benefit of $320.8 million, reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $1,117.3 million at December 31, 2015 to $796.5 million at September 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $208.3 million, reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $562.9 million at June 30, 2015 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $81.1 million, reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment's operating income, but are excluded from the operating results presented in the table in order to make such information comparable between periods. Income taxes related to the net LCM adjustment was calculated using the Company's statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 39.6% and 40.2% for the 2016 and 2015 periods presented, respectively. The Company also recorded pre-tax adjustments related to the change in the tax receivable agreement liability of $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded pre-tax adjustments related to the change in the tax receivable agreement liability of $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Income taxes related to the change in the tax receivable agreement liability were recalculated using the Company's statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 39.6% and 40.2%, respectively, for the 2016 and 2015 periods presented.

Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options to purchase 5,161,125 and 4,364,250 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Common Stock equivalents, excludes the effects of options to purchase 1,789,500 and 2,867,000 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
(5)		Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units and common stock equivalents as described in (1) above if not included in the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding calculated in (4) above.

Gross Refining Margin

Gross refining margin is defined as gross margin excluding refinery depreciation, refinery operating expenses, and gross margin of PBFX. We believe gross refining margin is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenue less cost of sales) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.

Gross refining margin should not be considered an alternative to gross margin, operating income, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define this term differently. The following table presents a reconciliation of gross refining margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, gross margin, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated:

⁽¹⁾ During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax impact of $320.8 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $1,117.3 million at December 31, 2015 to $796.5 million at September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax impact of $81.1 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015.The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment's operating income, but are excluded from the operating results presented in the table in order to make such information comparable between periods.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our board of directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing the Senior Secured Notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as equity-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration, the non-cash change in the deferral of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products, the write down of inventory to the LCM, changes in the liability for tax receivable agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:


•	does not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;


•	does not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;


•	does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and


•	excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

The following tables reconcile net income as reflected in our results of operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as more fully described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries' capital expenditure, working capital, dividend payments, debt service and share repurchase program requirements, as well as our obligations under the tax receivable agreement, for the next twelve months. On July 1, 2016, we closed the Torrance Acquisition with a combination of cash on hand including proceeds from our October 2015 Equity Offering and borrowings under our Revolving Loan. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on

petroleum market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We are in compliance as of September 30, 2016 with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, for all of our debt agreements.

Cash Flow Analysis

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $388.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $240.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Our operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included our net income of $153.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $170.9 million, deferred income taxes of $194.4 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $29.3 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $25.9 million, equity-based compensation of $16.3 million, change in the fair value of our catalyst lease of $4.6 million, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability of $3.1 million and a loss on sale of assets of $11.4 million, partially offset by a net non-cash benefit of $320.8 million relating to a LCM inventory adjustment. In addition, net changes in working capital reflected sources of cash of $99.3 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and accounts payable and collections of accounts receivable. Our operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included our net income of $317.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $151.5 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $53.4 million, deferred income taxes of $27.3 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $19.3 million, net non-cash benefit of $81.1 million relating to a LCM inventory adjustment, equity-based compensation of $8.8 million and a $2.2 million change in tax receivable agreement liability, partially offset by a change in the fair value of our catalyst lease of $9.0 million and gain on sale of assets of $1.1 million. In addition, net changes in working capital reflected uses of cash of $410.2 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and collections of accounts receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,247.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $166.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was comprised of cash outflows of $971.9 million used to fund the Torrance Acquisition, capital expenditures totaling $194.6 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $138.9 million, expenditures for other assets of $27.7 million, cash consideration of $98.4 million used to fund the PBFX Plains Assets Purchase, and a final net working capital settlement of $2.7 million associated with the the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, partially offset by $174.3 million of net maturities of marketable securities and $13.0 million of proceeds from sale of assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was comprised of capital expenditures totaling $288.9 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $39.7 million and expenditures for other assets of $7.3 million, partially offset by $168.3 million in proceeds from the sale of railcars and $0.7 million of net maturities of marketable securities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $539.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the Revolving Loan of $550.0 million, net proceeds from the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility of $144.7 million, net proceeds from issuance of PBFX common units of $138.3 million and proceeds from a catalyst lease of $7.9 million, partially offset by distributions and dividends of $115.1 million, repayment of the PBFX Term Loan of $174.5 million and repayments of the Rail Facility of $11.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes of $350.0 million and net proceeds from the Rail Facility of $30.1 million, partially offset by $251.3 million of net repayments of PBFX revolver and term loan borrowings, distributions and dividends

of $109.6 million, purchases of our Class A common stock of $8.1 million and $9.6 million for deferred financing and other costs.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2016, PBF Energy's total liquidity was approximately $866.2 million, compared to total liquidity of approximately $1,544.1 million as of December 31, 2015. Total liquidity is the sum of our cash and cash equivalents plus the amount of availability under the Revolving Loan. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, PBFX had approximately $187.2 million and $298.5 million, respectively, of borrowing capacity under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility which is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

In addition, PBF Energy had borrowing capacity of $82.5 million under the Rail Facility to fund the acquisition of Eligible Railcars as of December 31, 2015. As noted in "Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods", on July 15, 2016, the Rail Facility was amended to, among other things, reduce the commitment to the amount outstanding. Therefore, as of September 30, 2016, PBF Energy did not have any borrowing capacity remaining under the Rail Facility.

Working Capital

Working capital for PBF Energy at September 30, 2016 was $1,499.3 million, consisting of $3,547.0 million in total current assets and $2,047.7 million in total current liabilities. Working capital at December 31, 2015 was $1,526.5 million, consisting of $3,022.0 million in total current assets and $1,495.5 million in total current liabilities.

Capital Spending

Net capital spending was $1,421.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which primarily included turnaround costs, safety related enhancements, facility improvements at the refineries, the Torrance Acquisition, the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase and the final working capital settlement associated with the Chalmette Acquisition. We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately between $500.0 to $525.0 million in net capital expenditures during 2016 for facility improvements and refinery maintenance and turnarounds.

On July 1, 2016 we acquired the Torrance refinery and related logistic assets. The purchase price for the Torrance Acquisition was $521.4 million in cash, plus working capital of $450.6 million, the final valuation of which was still in process as of September 30, 2016. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand including proceeds from our October 2015 Equity Offering and borrowings under the Company's existing Revolving Loan.

Share Repurchases

On August 19, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our Class A common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). On October 29, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an additional $100.0 million increase to the existing Repurchase Program. On September 26, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two year extension to the Repurchase Program. As a result to the extension, the Repurchase Program will expire on September 30, 2018. No repurchases of the Company's Class A common stock were made during the three months ended September 30, 2016. From the inception of the Repurchase Program through September 30, 2016, the Company has purchased approximately 6.05 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program for $150.8 million through open market transactions. The Company currently has the ability to purchase approximately an additional $149.2 million in common stock under the approved Repurchase Program.

conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements

We previously acquired crude oil for our Delaware City refinery under a supply agreement whereby Statoil generally purchased the crude oil requirements for the refinery on our behalf and under our direction. Our agreement with Statoil for Delaware City was terminated effective December 31, 2015, at which time we began to fully source Delaware City's crude oil and feedstocks independently. Additionally, for our purchases of crude oil under our agreement with Saudi Aramco, similar to our purchases of other foreign waterborne crudes, we post letters of credit and arrange for shipment. We pay for the crude when we are invoiced and the letters of credit have been lifted.

We have crude and feedstock supply agreements with PDVSA to supply 40,000 to 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at any of our East and Gulf Coast refineries.

In connection with the closing of the Torrance Acquisition, we entered into a crude supply agreement with ExxonMobil for approximately 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at our Torrance refinery.

Inventory Intermediation Agreements

We entered into two separate Inventory Intermediation Agreements (the "Intermediation Agreements") with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") on June 26, 2013, which commenced upon the termination of the product offtake agreements with MSCG. On May 29, 2015, we entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements (the "A&R Intermediation Agreements") with J. Aron pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the term for a period of two years from the original expiry date of July 1, 2015, subject to certain early termination rights. In addition, the A&R Intermediation Agreements include one-year renewal clauses by mutual consent of both parties.

Pursuant to each A&R Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the "Products") produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the "Refineries"), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to the Refineries as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries' tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the A&R Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell independently to third parties.

At September 30, 2016, the LIFO value of intermediates and finished products owned by J. Aron included within inventory on our balance sheet was $359.3 million. We accrue a corresponding liability for such intermediates and finished products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2016, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $483.1 million and operating leases.

Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations

We expect that the payments that we may make under the tax receivable agreement will be substantial. As of September 30, 2016, we have recognized a liability for the tax receivable agreement of $664.4 million reflecting our estimate of the undiscounted amounts that we expect to pay under the agreement due to exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock that occurred prior to that date, and to range over the next five years from approximately $37.5 million to $56.6 million per year and decline thereafter. We expect that we will make a payment under the tax receivable agreement in the fourth quarter of 2016 in the amount of $50.8 million which is reflected on our balance sheet as the current portion of this liability. In addition, under certain circumstances, our obligations under the tax receivable agreement may be accelerated and determined based

on certain assumptions set forth therein. Assuming that the market value of a share of our Class A common stock equals $22.64 per share (the closing price on September 30, 2016) and that LIBOR were to be 1.85%, we estimate as of September 30, 2016 that the aggregate amount of these accelerated payments would have been approximately $596.7 million if triggered immediately on such date. These payment obligations are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries including PBF Holding or PBFX. However, because PBF Energy is a holding company with no operations of its own, PBF Energy's ability to make payments under the tax receivable agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, including its subsidiaries' ability to make distributions for the benefit of PBF LLC's members, including PBF Energy, its ability, if necessary, to finance its obligations under the tax receivable agreement and existing indebtedness which may limit PBF Energy's subsidiaries' ability to make distributions.

Future payments under the tax receivable agreement by us in respect of subsequent exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock would be in addition to the amounts above and are expected to be substantial. The foregoing numbers are merely estimates - the actual payments could differ materially and assume that there is no material changes in the relevant tax law, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the tax receivable agreement. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding tax receivable agreement payments.

Dividend and Distribution Policy

PBF Energy

With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, PBF LLC made aggregate non-tax quarterly distributions of $0.90 per unit to its members, of which $88.0 million was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to its other members. PBF Energy used this $88.0 million to pay quarterly cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 8, 2016, May 31, 2016 and August 23, 2016.

On October 28, 2016, the Company announced a dividend of $0.30 per share on outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on November 22, 2016 to Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2016. PBF LLC intends to make pro-rata distributions of $0.30 per unit to its members, including PBF Energy. PBF Energy will then use this distribution to fund the dividend payments to the shareholders of PBF Energy.

PBF Energy currently intends to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of this and any other future dividends on shares of Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, our governing documents or any contractual agreements with our existing owners or otherwise to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions (other than the obligations of PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members).

As of September 30, 2016, PBF Energy had $760.2 million of unused borrowing availability, which includes PBF Holding cash and cash equivalents of $519.4 million, under the Revolving Loan to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2016, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities available to make distributions to PBF LLC, if necessary, in order for PBF LLC to make pro-rata distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, necessary to fund in excess of one year’s cash dividend payments by PBF Energy. PBF Holding would have been permitted under its debt agreements to make these distributions; however, their ability to continue to comply with their debt covenants is, to a significant degree, subject to its operating results, which are dependent on a number of factors outside of our control. We believe our and our subsidiaries' available cash and cash equivalents, other sources of liquidity to operate our business and operating performance provides us with a reasonable basis for our assessment that we can support our intended dividend and distribution policy.

PBF Logistics LP

PBFX intends to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of at least $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, which aggregates to approximately $12.7 million per quarter or $50.8 million per year, based on the current number of common and subordinated units outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, PBFX made quarterly cash distributions totaling $48.0 million of which $25.5 million was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unit holders.

On October 28, 2016, the Board of Directors of PBFX's general partner, PBF GP, declared a distribution of $0.44 per unit on outstanding common and subordinated units of PBFX. The distribution is payable on November 22, 2016 to PBFX common and subordinated unit holders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, PBFX had $3.6 million outstanding letters of credit and $187.2 million available under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents of $44.3 million to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2016, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities available to PBFX to make distributions to unit holders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural gas, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.

Commodity Price Risk

Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.

We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 31.4 million barrels and 44.2 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $4.8 million and $46.1 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2016 expire at various times during 2016 and 2017.

We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our balance sheet, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 32.3 million barrels and 26.8 million barrels at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $79.04 and $83.55 per barrel on a LIFO basis at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, excluding the net impact of LCM adjustments of approximately $796.5 million and $1,117.3 million, respectively. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to further write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.

Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we annually consume a total of approximately 66.4 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our five refineries as of September 30, 2016. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $66.4 million.

Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows we may purchase RINs when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable.

Interest Rate Risk

The maximum availability under our Revolving Loan is $2.64 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Loan. The Applicable Margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans and from 0.50% to 1.25% for Alternative Base Rate Loans, depending on the Company's debt rating. If this facility were fully drawn, a one percent change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $26.4 million annually.

The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan which bear interest at a variable rate and expose us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under these facilities would result in a $3.5 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $360.0 million available under our PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding balance of our PBFX Term Loan was $59.7 million.

In addition, the Rail Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. As noted in "Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods", on July 15, 2016, the Rail Facility was amended to, among other things, reduce the commitment to the amount outstanding and as of September 30, 2016, PBF Energy did not have any borrowing capacity remaining under the Rail Facility. Therefore, a 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $0.6 million change in our interest expense, based on the $56.0 million outstanding balance at September 30, 2016.

We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our A&R Intermediation Agreements under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.

Credit Risk

We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We will continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

PBF Energy maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information which is required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including PBF Energy's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2016. Based on that evaluation, PBF Energy's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that PBF Energy's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On November 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Chalmette Refining. We are in the process of integrating Chalmette Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting and, therefore, management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q excludes any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Chalmette Refining. We expect the integration of Chalmette Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting to be complete within one year of its acquisition, or November 1, 2016. Chalmette Refining accounts for 5% of the Company's total assets and 23% of total revenues of the Company as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

On July 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Torrance Refining. We are in the process of integrating Torrance Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting and, therefore, management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q excludes any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Torrance Refining. We expect the integration of Torrance Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting to be complete within one year of its acquisition, or July 1, 2017. Torrance Refining accounts for approximately 5% of the Company's total assets and approximately 21% of total revenues of the Company as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Management has not identified any other changes in PBF Energy's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On July 24, 2013, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (“DNREC”) issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to Delaware City Refining for alleged air emission violations that occurred during the re-start of the refinery in 2011 and subsequent to the re-start. The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigation of the incidents. We dispute the amount of the penalty assessment and allegations made in the order, and are in discussions with DNREC to resolve the assessment. It is possible that DNREC will assess a penalty in this matter but any such amount is not expected to be material to the Company.

As of November 1, 2015, the Company acquired Chalmette Refining, which was in discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) to resolve self-reported deviations from refinery operations relating to certain Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limits and other requirements. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, the enforcement of which has been suspended while negotiations are ongoing, which may include the resolution of deviations outside the periods covered by the Order. It is possible that LDEQ will assess an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining, but any such amount is not expected to be material to the Company.

The Company acquired the Torrance Refinery effective as of July 1, 2016 and, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to the Company’s ownership of the refinery. Specifically, the Company assumed responsibility for (i) a Notice of Violation issued on March 12, 2015 by the Southern California Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) relating to self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2012, (ii) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2013, (iii) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2014 and (iv) a Notice of Violation issued on March 10, 2016 for self-reported Title V deviations for the Torrance Refinery for compliance year 2015. No settlement or penalty demand have been received to date with respect to these Notices. It is possible that SCAQMD will assess penalties in these matters in excess of $100,000 but any such amount is not expected to be material to the Company, individually or in the aggregate.

On September 2, 2011, prior to the Company’s ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Vincent Caruso, et al. v. Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., filed an action on behalf of himself and other Louisiana residents who live or own property in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish and whose property was allegedly contaminated and who allegedly suffered any personal or property damages as a result of an emission of spent catalyst, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the Chalmette refinery on September 6, 2010. Plaintiffs’ claim to have suffered injuries, symptoms, and property damage as a result of the release. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages, interest and costs. In August 2015, there was a mini-trial for four plaintiffs for property damage relating to home and vehicle cleaning. On April 12, 2016, the trial court rendered judgment limiting damages ranging from $100 to $500 for home cleaning and $25 to $75 for vehicle cleaning to the four plaintiffs. The trial court found Chalmette Refining and co-defendant Eaton Corporation (“Eaton”), to be solitarily liable for the damages. Chalmette Refining and Eaton filed an appeal in August 2016 of the judgment on the mini-trial, which appeal is pending. There is no stay pending appeal. The potential class members have not been identified as the parties are negotiating a claims process for claims such as home cleaning, vehicle cleaning, and alleged personal injury. The claims process would also include a class notice to identify potential class members. Depending upon the ultimate class size and the nature of the claims, the outcome may have an adverse material effect on the Company's financial condition, or cash flows.

Company’s subsidiaries, PBF Holding Company LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC and Delaware City Refining Company LLC were notified by the EPA that its records indicated that these entities used potentially invalid RINs. The EPA directed each of these subsidiaries to resubmit reports to remove the potentially invalid RINs and to replace the invalid RINs with valid RINs with the same D Code. The Company is in process of identifying the affected RINs. The Company also intends to seek indemnification from the counterparty who sold the affected RINs, including any penalty assessed by the EPA. It is expected that the Company's subsidiaries and the EPA will enter an Administrative Settlement Agreement to resolve these matters. The Company does not expect the potentially invalid RINs to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors supplement and/or update the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015:

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

We may not be able to successfully integrate the Chalmette Refinery or the Torrance Refinery into our business, or realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions.

Following the completion of the Chalmette and Torrance Acquisitions, the integration of these businesses into our operations may be a complex and time-consuming process that may not be successful. Prior to the completion of the Chalmette Acquisition we did not have any operations in the Gulf Coast and prior to the completion of the Torrance Acquisition we did not have any operations in the West Coast. This may add complexity to effectively overseeing, integrating and operating these refineries and related assets. Even if we successfully integrate these businesses into our operations, there can be no assurance that we will realize the anticipated benefits and operating synergies. Our estimates regarding the earnings, operating cash flow, capital expenditures and liabilities resulting from these acquisitions may prove to be incorrect. These acquisitions involve risks, including:


•	unexpected losses of key employees, customers and suppliers of the acquired operations;


•	challenges in managing the increased scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations;


•	diversion of management time and attention from our existing business;


•	liability for known or unknown environmental conditions or other contingent liabilities and greater than anticipated expenditures required for compliance with environmental, safety or other regulatory standards or for investments to improve operating results; and


•	the incurrence of additional indebtedness to finance acquisitions or capital expenditures relating to acquired assets.

In connection with our recently completed Chalmette and Torrance acquisitions, we did not have access to all of the type of historical financial information that we may require regarding the prior operation of the refineries. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to evaluate the probable impact of these significant acquisitions on our financial performance until we have operated the acquired refineries for a substantial period of time.

Regulation of emissions of greenhouse gases could force us to incur increased capital and operating costs and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Both houses of Congress have actively considered legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases ("GHG"), such as carbon dioxide and methane, including proposals to: (i) establish a cap and trade system, (ii) create a federal renewable energy or “clean” energy standard requiring electric utilities to provide a certain percentage of power from such sources, and (iii) create enhanced incentives for use of renewable energy and increased efficiency in energy supply and use. In addition, the EPA is taking steps to regulate GHGs under the existing federal Clean Air Act (the "CAA"). The EPA has already adopted regulations limiting emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles, addressing the permitting of GHG emissions from stationary sources, and requiring the reporting of GHG emissions from specified large GHG emission sources, including refineries. These and similar regulations could

require us to incur costs to monitor and report GHG emissions or reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations. In addition, various states, individually as well as in some cases on a regional basis, have taken steps to control GHG emissions, including adoption of GHG reporting requirements, cap and trade systems and renewable portfolio standards. Efforts have also been undertaken to delay, limit or prohibit EPA and possibly state action to regulate GHG emissions, and it is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate form, timing or extent of federal or state regulation. In the event we do incur increased costs as a result of increased efforts to control GHG emissions, we may not be able to pass on any of these costs to our customers. Such requirements also could adversely affect demand for the refined petroleum products that we produce. Any increased costs or reduced demand could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operation.

In addition, in certain states multiple legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas and other emissisons are in various phases of consideration or implementation. Requirements to reduce emissions could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as implement and manage new emission controls and programs put in place. For example, Assembly Bill 32 requires the state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. Two regulations implemented to achieve these goals are Cap-and-Trade and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”). In 2012, the California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) implemented Cap-and-Trade. This program currently places a cap on GHGs and we are required to acquire a sufficient number of credits to cover emissions from our refineries and our in-state sales of gasoline and diesel. In 2009, CARB adopted the LCFS, which requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by 2020. Compliance is achieved through blending lower carbon intensity biofuels into gasoline and diesel or by purchasing credits. Compliance with each of these programs is facilitated through a market-based credit system. If sufficient credits are unavailable for purchase or we are unable to pass through costs to our customers, we have to pay a higher price for credits or if we are otherwise unable to meet our compliance obligations, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units to Class A Common Stock

In the three months ended September 30, 2016, no PBF LLC Series A Units were exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We received no other consideration in connection with any exchanges. No exchanges were made by any of our directors or current executive officers.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 19, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's Class A common stock (as amended from time to time, the "Repurchase Program"). In addition, on October 29, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $100.0 million increase to the existing Repurchase Program. On September 26, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two year extension to the existing Repurchase Program. As a result of the extension, the Repurchase Program will expire on September 30, 2018.These repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

There were no repurchases of the Company's Class A Common Stock during the third quarter of 2016. For the period of time from the inception of the Repurchase Program through September 30, 2016, the Company purchased 6,050,717 shares for $150.8 million. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $149.2 million remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program.
