2 million for the fourth
quarter 2004, an increase of $27.
The increase in net income for the fourth quarter 2005 over the fourth
quarter 2004 was primarily attributable to continued strong industry refining
margins in the fourth quarter of 2005 and increased refinery production as a
result of the expansion of the Big Spring refinery's crude oil throughput
capacity and the major turnaround completed in the first quarter 2005.
The increase in net income for the year ended December 31 , 2005 over the
year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily attributable to the higher refining
margin environment, favorable differentials between WTI and WTS crude oil
("WTI/WTS") and increased overall refinery production as a result of the crude

THROUGHPUT AND PRODUCTION
DATA:
Refinery throughput:
Sweet crude 3,111 4.0 62,230 100.1 17.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, partially offset by $118. In addition, our
management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our
operating performance compared to that of other companies in our
industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally
eliminates the effects of minority interests, interest expense,
income taxes and dispositions of assets and the accounting effects
of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary for
different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating
performance. We exclude net sales and cost of sales from our
non-integrated system because the refined products we sell in this
system are not produced at our refinery. Merchandise margins, also referred to as in-store
margins, are commonly used in the retail industry to measure in-
store, or non-fuel, operating results .

are:

* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or
future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the
cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments on our debt;
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the prior claim that minority
stockholders have on the income generated by our non-wholly-
owned subsidiaries;
* Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash
requirements for our working capital needs; and
* Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the EBITDA
calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting its
usefulness as a comparative measure. We compensate for these limitations
by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA
only supplementally. However, the
amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts
presented separately in our consolidated financial statements, with
the exception of the refinery throughput volume.
