Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on the terms of a new contractual agreement rather than financial performance results.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the entry into two Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron & Company. These agreements replace the company's previous inventory offtake agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., which were terminated as previously disclosed in a January 2, 2013 filing.
Agreement Terms and Outlook
- Structure: J. Aron will purchase and hold title to all intermediate and finished products produced by the refineries and delivered into PBF's tanks. J. Aron will sell these products back to PBF as they are discharged.
- Storage Rights: J. Aron retains the right to store products in PBF's tanks for the duration of the agreements.
- Marketing: PBF retains the right to market and sell the products independently to third parties.
- Term: The agreements expire on July 1, 2015, subject to early termination rights and a one-year renewal clause by mutual consent.
