CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

Board of Managers

Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC:

 

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC and its subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a

substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

---

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

DIAMOND GREEN DIESEL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD Holdings) was formed on January 21, 2011 as a joint venture between Diamond Alternative Energy, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation (Valero), and Darling Green Energy LLC, a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc. (Darling). Diamond Alternative Energy, LLC and Darling Green Energy LLC are collectively referred to herein as the “Members.”

DGD Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary Diamond Green Diesel LLC (DGD), operates two renewable diesel plants. The first plant is located next to Valero’s St. Charles Refinery in Norco, Louisiana (the DGD St. Charles Plant), and the second plant is located next to Valero’s Port Arthur Refinery in Port Arthur, Texas (the DGD Port Arthur Plant, and together with the DGD St. Charles Plant, the DGD Plants). The DGD Plants produce renewable diesel, renewable naphtha, and synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK). Renewable diesel is a low-carbon liquid transportation fuel that is interchangeable with petroleum-based diesel. Renewable naphtha is used to produce renewable gasoline and renewable plastics. These products are produced from waste and renewable feedstocks using a pretreatment process and an advanced hydroprocessing-isomerization process. SPK is a renewable blending component produced using the Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) process. SPK is also commonly referred to as “neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).” Current aviation regulations allow SPK to be blended up to 50 percent with conventional jet fuel to produce SAF for use in an aircraft. This blend is commonly referred to as “SAF” or “blended SAF.” DGD sells these products primarily in the United States (U.S.), Canada, and Europe. DGD Holdings and DGD are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”

The DGD St. Charles Plant was completed and began operations in June 2013. In October 2021, the Company completed an expansion of the DGD St. Charles Plant that increased its renewable diesel production capacity by approximately 410 million gallons per year, which, at that time, brought the plant’s total renewable diesel production capacity to approximately 700 million gallons per year. This expansion also provided the ability to produce approximately 30 million gallons per year of renewable naphtha.

In November 2022, the Company completed construction of the DGD Port Arthur Plant, which has a production capacity of approximately 470 million gallons of renewable diesel and approximately 20 million gallons of renewable naphtha per year.

Since 2013, the Company’s total renewable diesel and renewable naphtha production capacities increased to approximately 1.2 billion gallons and 50 million gallons, respectively, per year.

In October 2024, the Company completed construction of the SAF project at the DGD Port Arthur Plant. This project provides the Company the optionality to upgrade approximately 50 percent of its current 470 million gallons of renewable diesel annual production capacity at the DGD Port Arthur Plant to neat SAF.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 7, 2025, the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Receivables

Trade receivables are carried at amortized cost, which is the original invoice amount adjusted for cash collections. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which is adjusted based on the Company’s assessment of its customers’ historical collection experience, known or expected credit risks, and industry and economic conditions. Interest income on outstanding receivables from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to the blender’s tax credit is accrued based on the balance owed by the IRS at the end of the period.

Inventories

The cost of feedstocks (i.e., waste and renewable feedstocks, predominately animal fats, used cooking oils, vegetable oils, and inedible distillers corn oils) and products is determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method using the dollar-value LIFO approach, with any increments valued based on average purchase prices for feedstocks and cost build-up prices for finished products during the year. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of supplies is determined principally under the weighted-average cost method.

In determining the market value of its inventories, the Company assumes that feedstocks are converted into products, which requires it to make estimates regarding the products expected to be produced from those feedstocks and the conversion costs required to convert those feedstocks into products. The Company also estimates the usual and customary transportation costs required to move the inventory from its plants to the appropriate points of sale. The Company then applies an estimated selling price to its inventories. If the aggregate market value of its LIFO inventories is less than the related aggregate cost, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference in its statements of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Property, Plant and Equipment

The cost of property, plant, and equipment (property assets) purchased or constructed, including betterments of property assets, is capitalized. However, the cost of repairs to and normal maintenance of property assets is expensed as incurred. Betterments of property assets are those that extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of the Company’s operations. The cost of property assets constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities.

The Company’s operations are highly capital intensive. Each of the DGD Plants comprises a base of property assets, consisting of interconnected, highly integrated and interdependent feedstock processing facilities and supporting infrastructure (Units) and other property assets that support the Company’s business. Improvements consist of the addition of new Units and other property assets and betterments of those Units and assets.

Depreciation of processing facilities is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of these assets using the composite method of depreciation. The Company maintains a separate composite group of property assets for each of the DGD Plants. The estimated useful lives of the composite groups are 20 years.

Under the composite method of depreciation, the historical cost of a minor property asset (net of salvage value) that is retired or replaced is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized. However, a gain or loss is recognized for a major property asset that is retired, replaced, sold, or for an abnormal disposition of a property asset (primarily involuntary conversions). Gains and losses are reflected in “depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense,” unless such amounts are reported separately due to materiality.

Depreciation of the administrative buildings, equipment, and computer hardware is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the component method of depreciation. Precious metals, which are used as a catalyst in the Units to process feedstock into finished products, are not depreciated, but the cost of precious metals not recovered from the reclamation process is charged to “depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense.”

Leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control are amortized over the economic life of the assets, regardless of the lease term. The Company’s assets are built on land leased from Valero. As a result, all additional improvements placed in service after the initial construction of the DGD Plants are amortized over the economic life of the assets, typically 20 years, and are not limited by the lease term. See Note 6 for balances associated with the Company’s leasehold improvements and Note 12 for additional discussion of the Company’s land leases with Valero. Finance lease right-of-use assets are amortized as discussed below under “Leases.”

DIAMOND GREEN DIESEL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Deferred Charges and Other Assets

“Deferred charges and other assets, net” primarily include the following:

•turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are deferred when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs;

•fixed-bed catalyst costs, representing the cost of the catalyst that is changed out at periodic intervals when the quality of the catalyst has deteriorated beyond its prescribed function, are deferred when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific catalyst;

•licenses acquired, which provide for the amount of feedstock that can be processed at the DGD Plants per calendar year, are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized over their estimated useful lives; and

•operating lease right-of-use assets are amortized as discussed below under “Leases.”

Leases

The Company evaluates if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. If the Company determines that a contract is or contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is determined by using the implicit rate when readily determinable. If not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on quoted interest rates obtained from financial institutions. The rate used is for a term similar to the duration of the lease based on information available at the commencement date. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options.

The Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities for leasing arrangements with terms greater than one year. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease components in a contract as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets.

Expense for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the leased asset’s function. Amortization expense of a finance lease ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. However, if the lessor transfers ownership of the finance lease ROU asset to the Company at the end of the lease term, the finance lease ROU asset is amortized over the useful life of the leased asset. Amortization expense is reflected in “depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense.” Interest expense is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability and is reflected in “interest and debt expense, net.”

Impairment of Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not deemed recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not deemed recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for

11

---

DIAMOND GREEN DIESEL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records a liability, which is referred to as an asset retirement obligation, at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time that the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when there is a legal obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from contracts with customers for the sale of products. Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to transfer products to its customers, which typically occurs at a point in time upon shipment of the products, and for an amount that reflects the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation.

The customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the point of shipment. As a result, the Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment because there is a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price for goods sold. Payment is typically due in full within three to five days from date of invoice. In the normal course of business, the Company generally does not accept product returns.

The transaction price is the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for its products. The transaction price for substantially all of the contracts is based on commodity market pricing (i.e., variable consideration). As such, this market pricing may be constrained (i.e., not estimable) at the inception of the contract but will be recognized based on the applicable market pricing, which will be known upon transfer of the goods to the customer.

The Company has elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by government authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (e.g., sales tax and use tax).

Cost of Materials and Other

Cost of materials and other primarily includes the cost of materials that are a component of products sold. These costs include (i) the direct cost of materials (such as animal fats, used cooking oils, vegetable oils, and inedible distillers corn oils) that are a component of products sold; (ii) costs related to the delivery of feedstock supplied; and (iii) gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses (excluding “depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense”) consist of costs charged to the Company by Valero in accordance with the Operations Agreement for day-to-day operations of the DGD Plants, as further described in Note 12. In addition, operating expenses include chemicals, waste disposal services, maintenance, insurance, operating supplies, and property taxes.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Accretion Expense

“Depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense” associated with the Company’s operations is separately presented in the statements of income as a component of cost of sales.

Blender’s Tax Credit

Biodiesel blenders registered with the IRS are eligible for a tax incentive in the amount of $1.00 per gallon of renewable diesel blended with petroleum diesel to produce a mixture containing at least 0.1 percent diesel fuel. Only blenders that produced and sold or used the qualified biodiesel mixture as a fuel in their trade or business are eligible for the tax credit. As a blender, the Company recognized a benefit of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The blender’s tax credit was approved by Congress through December 31, 2024.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include costs, if any, incurred that are not associated with cost of sales.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of fees for administrative services provided by Valero.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability corporation and is not a taxpaying entity for U.S. federal or Louisiana state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or Louisiana state income taxes is made in these consolidated financial statements. Income from the Company is taxable to the Members in their individual U.S. federal and Louisiana state tax returns.

The Company is a taxable entity in the state of Texas and is subject to the Texas state franchise tax due to the operations of the DGD Port Arthur Plant. The Texas state franchise tax is applicable to an entity’s gross margin, based on apportionment of activities between states, and is accounted for as an income tax.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year those temporary differences are expected to be settled.

Derivatives and Hedging

All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recognized in the balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values with changes in fair value recognized currently in income or in other comprehensive income as appropriate. Cash flow hedges and economic hedges are used to manage commodity price risk. The cash flow effects of the derivative instruments are reflected in operating activities in the statements of cash flows. See Note 15 for additional discussion.

Concentration Risk

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a majority of its products to three major customers, including Valero, which accounted for 54 percent of the Company’s sales. The other two third-party customers accounted for 13 percent and 11 percent of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 46 percent of its products to Valero and 15 percent and 13 percent to two third-party customers.

The Company purchased 21 percent and 22 percent of its raw materials from Darling during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company purchased 11 percent from a third-party supplier during the year ended December 31, 2024.

See Note 12 for additional discussion of the Company’s contracts with Valero and Darling.

5. LEASES

General

The Company has entered into leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets as follows:

•Pipelines, Terminals, and Tanks includes facilities and equipment used in the storage, transportation, and production of feedstock and sale of inventories;

•Real Estate includes land and rights-of-way associated with the DGD Plants;

•Feedstock Processing Equipment includes machinery, equipment, and various facilities used in plant operations; and

•Marine Transportation includes short-term time charters for coastal vessels.

In addition to fixed lease payments, some arrangements contain provisions for variable lease payments. Certain leases for pipelines, terminals, and tanks provide for variable lease payments based on, among other things, throughput volumes in excess of a base amount. Additionally, if the rental increases are not scheduled in the lease, such as an increase based on subsequent changes in the index or rate, those rents are considered variable lease payments. In all instances, variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Service Agreements

The Company has three service agreements with Valero. The agreements expire on December 31, 2042 and will automatically renew for successive periods of five years each on an evergreen basis, unless terminated by one of the parties. Below is a description of the agreements.

Operations Agreement

Pursuant to the Operations Agreement, Valero operates the DGD Plants and performs certain day-to-day operations and management functions for the Company as an independent contractor. Valero charges for all dedicated personnel costs and certain other expenses on a reimbursable basis and for other routine and non-routine services in accordance with the contractual billing rates, which are adjusted for inflation annually on January 1. The Company recorded $61.1 million and $60.2 million of operating expenses charged under the Operations Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Product Offtake Agreement

Under the Product Offtake Agreement, Valero is required to purchase certain light ends recovered from byproduct streams produced at the DGD Plants. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold $30.7 million and $40.9 million, respectively, of recovered light ends liquid to Valero, which is recorded in revenues.

Services and Utilities Supply Agreement

Under the Services and Utilities Supply Agreement, Valero provides the Company with hydrogen, water, steam, natural gas, power, and certain industrial gases which are produced or otherwise available at Valero’s St. Charles Refinery and Valero’s Port Arthur Refinery, and certain services, such as water treatment and terminaling services that are needed for the operation of the DGD Plants. Prices charged by Valero are at prevailing market rates. The Company supplies Valero with fuel gas and steam produced at the DGD Plants and charges Valero at prevailing market rates.

Other Transactions

The Company has entered into contracts with Valero to sell renewable diesel and neat SAF to Valero in varying amounts through 2026 and 2027, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold $2.6 billion and $47.3 million of renewable diesel and neat SAF, respectively, to Valero. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold $3.1 billion of renewable diesel to Valero. These sales are recorded in revenues.

In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased $192.6 million and $200.6 million of feedstock from Valero, respectively.

13. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of the financial statements.

Receivables from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s receivables from contracts with customers are included in receivables and “receivables – due from related party” and totaled $175.2 million and $216.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers are term contracts. The Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for the remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly susceptible to commodity market volatility that is outside the Company’s influence. Therefore, as of December 31, 2024, the Company has not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations.

The following table provides a disaggregation of revenues by product (in thousands):

			Year Ended December 31,
			2024						2023
Renewable diesel			$	4,888,005					$	6,785,251

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

General

GAAP requires or permits certain assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Company’s balance sheets, and those assets and liabilities are presented below under “Recurring Fair Value Measurements.” Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, such as derivative financial instruments, are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

GAAP also requires the disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments when an option to elect fair value accounting has been provided, but such election has not been made. A debt obligation is an example of such a financial instrument. The disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments not recognized at fair value in the balance sheets is presented below under “Financial Instruments.”

GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques based on the degree to which objective prices in external active markets are available to measure fair value. The following is a description of each of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

•Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include occasional market quotes or sales of similar instruments or the Company’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant judgment.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information (in thousands) about the Company’s assets and liabilities recognized at their fair values in the balance sheets categorized according to the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by the Company to determine the fair values as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company has elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral assets or obligations as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented in the following tables on a gross basis. The Company does not have any derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross in the balance sheets.

15. PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

The Company is exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of commodities and enters into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks. This includes derivative instruments related to the various commodities the Company purchases or produces, as described below under “Risk Management Activities.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 14), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.” The effect of these derivative instruments on income and other comprehensive income is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income.”

Risk Management Activities

The Company is exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of feedstocks and products it produces. To reduce the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, the Company uses commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. The Company’s positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by the risk control group to ensure compliance with the Company’s stated risk management policy.

The Company uses commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and economic hedges. The objectives for entering into each type of hedge is described below.

•Cash flow hedges – The objective of the Company’s cash flow hedges is to lock in the price of forecasted product sales at existing market prices that the Company deems favorable.

•Economic hedges – The Company’s objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and product inventories and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted feedstock purchases and/or product sales, including the low carbon premium, at existing market prices that the Company deems favorable.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income

The following table provides information about the gain (loss) recognized in income and other comprehensive income due to fair value adjustments of the Company’s cash flow hedges (in thousands):

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships						Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives
												Year Ended December 31,
												2024						2023
Commodity contracts:
Gain recognized in other comprehensive income						n/a						$	30,051					$	82,288
Gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income						Revenues						117,183						(8,248)

For cash flow hedges, no component of any derivative instrument’s gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023. The cash flow hedges primarily related to forecasted sales of renewable diesel, with $6.2 million of cumulative losses and $80.9 million of cumulative gains on cash flow hedges remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company estimates that this deferred loss as of December 31, 2024 will be reclassified into income over the next two months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting.

The following table provides information about the gain (loss) recognized in income on the Company’s

derivative instruments with respect to the economic hedges and the line items in the statements of income in which such gains (losses) are reflected (in thousands):
