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, Canada and Mexico and are able to ship products to other international in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in destinations. We were formed North America. As of December 31, 2020, we own and operate six domestic oil refineries and related assets, which we acquired in 2010, 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2020. Based on the current configuration (as disclosed in “Recent Developments - East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”) our refineries have a combined processing ity, known as throughput, of approximately 1,000,000 bpd, and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity a capac Index of 13.2 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capaa city of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. We operate in two reportablea business segments: Refining and Logistics. PBF Energy was formed on November 7, 2011 and is a holding company whose primary asset is a controlling equity interest in PBF LLC. We are the sole managing member of PBF LLC and operate and control all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC. We consolidate the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and record a noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy. PBF LLC is a holding company for the companies that directly or indirectly own and operate our business. PBF Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC and is the parent company for our refining operations. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, also consolidates the financial results of PBFX and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public common unitholders of PBFX. As of December 31, 2020, PBF Energy held 120,122,872 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others held 970,647 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 PBF Energy’s issued and outstanding shares of its Class A common stock have approximately 99.2% of the voting power in PBF Energy, and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have approximately 0.8% of the voting power in PBF Energy. On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering. As of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC held a 48.0% limited partner interest (consisting of 29,953,631 common units) in PBFX, with the remaining 52.0% limited partner interest held by the public unitholders. PBF LLC also indirectly owns a non-economic general partner interest in PBFX through its wholly-owned subsidia ry, PBF GP, the general partner of PBFX. u 8 The following mapa details the locations of our refineries and the location of PBFX’s assets as of December 31, 2020 (each as defined below): 9 Refinff ing Our six refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, . In 2020, we reconfigured our Delaware ff Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Paulsboro refineries, temporarily idling certain of our majora processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit that we refer to as the “East Coast Refining System”.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.” Recent Developments II COVID-19 The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets negatively impacted worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets in 2020 and is expected to continue in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses resulted in including business and school closures, supply chain significant business and operational disrupti r disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availabila ity of workforces and has resulted in significantly lower global demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. We believe, but cannot guarantee, that demand for refined petroleum products will ultimately rebound as governmental restrictions are lifted. However, the continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments on our business and operations will depend on the ongoing severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effeff cts, and how and normal business and operating conditions resume. quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve ons, m We are actively responding to the impacts from these matters on our business. Starting in late March through the end of 2020, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products and we temporarily idled various units at certain of our refineries to optimize our production in light of prevailing market conditions. As of the date of this filing, our refineries are still operating at reduced throughput levels and we expect them to continue to do so until market conditions substantially improve. Despite the measures we have taken, we have been, and likely will continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the economic impact and can provide no assurance that measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective. d Over the course of 2020 we adjuste d our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and executed our plan to lower our 2020 operating expenses through significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services. We successfully reduced our 2020 operating expenses by $235.0 million, excluding energy savings, and exceeded our full-year goal of $140.0 million in total operating expense reductions. Including energy expenses, our full-year operating expenses reductions for 2020 totaled approximately $325.0 million. We expect to continue to target and execute these expense reduction measures in 2021. We expect operating expenses on a system-wide basis for 2021 to be reduced by $200.0 million to $225.0 million annually as a result of our efforts versus historic levels, including the East Coast reconfiguration. We operated our refineries at reduced rates during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until such time that sustained product demand justifies higher production. We expect near-term throughput to be in the 675,000 to 725,000 barrel per day range for our refining system. 11 East Coast Refie ninii gn Reconfiguration The East Coast Refining Reconfiguration was announced on October 29, 2020 and completed on December 31, 2020. It is expected to provide us with crude optionality and increased flexibility to respond to a evolving market conditions. Our East Coast Refining System throughput capac ity is approximately 285,000 barrels per day, reflecting the new configuration and idling of certain majora processing units. Annual operating and capita al expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels.

Our six oil refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX, are engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. Certain of PBFX’s assets were previously operated and owned by various subsidiaries of PBF Holding and were acquired by PBFX in a series of transactions since its inception. PBFX is reported in the Logistics segment. A substantial majori ty of PBFX’s revenues are derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding and its subsidiaries and these intersegment related revenues are eliminated in consolidation. See “Note 22 - Segment Information” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for detailed information on our operating results by business segment. a Refie niii ngii gg Sege men t We own and operate six refineries (two of which are operated as a single unit) that provide us with and market diversity. We produce a variety of products at each of our refineries, including gasoline, a geographic ULSD, heating oil, jet fuel, lubricants, petrochemicals and asphalt. 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, Canada and Mexico, and are able to ship products to other international destinations. Our refinery assets as of December 31, 2020 are described below. East Coast Refining System (Delaware City Refinery and Paulsboro Refineff ry) r refinery is a fully integrated operation that receives crude via rail at crude Overview. The Delaware City refinery is located on an approximately 5,000-acre site, with access to waterborne cargoes and an extensive distribution network of pipelines, barges and tankers, truck and rail. The Delaware Cityt unloading facilities owned by PBFX, or via ship or barge at the docks owned by the Delaware City refinery located on the Delaware River. The crude and other feedstocks are stored in an extensive tank farm prior to processing. In addition, there ity truck loading rack (the “DCR Truck Rack”) located adjacent to the refinery is a 15-lane, 76,000 bpd capac and a 23-mile interstate pipeline (the “DCR Products Pipeline”) that are used to distribute clean products.

On August 29, 2019, we entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements with J. Aron, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”), to support the operations of the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR expires on June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC expires on December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022. (as amended from time to time, t t Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to certain inventory, including crude oil, intermediate and certain finished products (the “J. Aron Products”), produced by the refinery and delivered into our storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries and at PBFX’s assets acquired from Crown Point International, LLC (“Crown Point”) in October 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets” and together with our storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries, the “J. Aron Storage Tanks”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to us as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of our J. Aron Storage Tanks. At expiration or termination of each of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, we will have to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement at that time.

Collectively, this power plant produces electricity in excess of Delaware City’s t refinery load of approximately 90 MW. Excess electricity is sold into the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland, or PJM, grid. Steam is primarily produced by a combination of three dedicated boilers, two heat recovery steam generators on the gas turbines, and is supplemented by secondary boilers at the FCC and Coker. Hydrogen is currently provided via the refinery’s steam methane reformer and continuous catalytic reformer. a t t Under projected normal operating conditions for the reconfiguration, the Paulsboro refinery will consume approximately 38,000 MMBTU per day of natural ed via pipeline from third parties. The Paulsboro u gas suppli refinery will be mostly self-sufficient for electrical power through a mix of gas and steam turbine generators. The Paulsboro refinery generation is projected to supply all of the 20MW total refinery load. There are circumstances where availablea generation is greater than the total refinery load, and the Paulsboro refinery can export up to about 40MW of power to the utility grid if warranted. If necessary, supplemental electrical power is availablea on a guaranteed basis from the local utility. The Paulsboro refinery is connected to the grid via three separate 69KV aerial feeders and has the ability to run entirely on imported power. Steam is produced in three boilers and a heat recovery steam generator fed by the exhaust from the gas turbine. In addition, there are a number of waste heat boilers and furnace stack economizers throughout the refinery that supplement the steam generation capac ity. The Paulsboro refinery’s hydrogen needs will be met by the steam methane reformer as the catalytic reformer will be idled. a l Hydrogen Plant Project. During 2018, we signed an agreement with a third-party for an additional supply of 25.0 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen from a new hydrogen generation facility constructed on the Delaware City site, which was completed in the second quarter of 2020. This additional hydrogen provides additional complex crude and feedstock processing capabi lities. a 16 Toledo Refinery Overview. The Toledo refinery primarily processes a slate of light, sweet crudes from Canada, the Mid- Continent, the Bakken region and the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Toledo refinery is located on a 282-acre site near Toledo, Ohio, approximately 60 miles fromff Detroit. Crude is delivered to the Toledo refinery through three primary pipelines: (1) Enbridge from the north, (2) Patoka from the west and (3) Mid-Valley from the south.

Transactions with PBFX Since the inception of PBFX in 2014, PBF LLC and PBFX have entered into a series of drop-down transactions. Such transactions occurring in the three years ended December 31, 2020 are discussed below. On April 24, 2019, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement with PBF LLC (the “TVPC Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”) for total consideration of $200.0 to the TVPC Acquisition, TVP Holding owned million in cash (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Prior a 50% membership interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”) . Subsequent to the closing of u the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, PBFX owns 100% of the membership interests in TVPC. The transaction was financed through a combination of proceeds from the 2019 Registered Direct Offering (as defined in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) and borrowings under the $500.0 million amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”). On July 16, 2018, PBFX entered into four contribution agreements with PBF LLC, pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of the Development Assets to PBFX effective July 31, 2018 (the “Development Assets Contribution Agreements”). In consideration for the Development Assets limited liability company interests, PBFX delivered to PBF LLC total consideration of $31.6 million consisting of 1,494,134 common units of PBFX. In connection with the foregoing transactions and other transactions with PBFX, PBF Holding entered into commercial agreements with PBFX entities for the provision of services which require minimum monthly throughput volumes. Subsequent to the transactions described above, as of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC holds a 48.0% limited partner interest in PBFX consisting of 29,953,631 common units. PBFX IDR Restructuring Agreement On February 28, 2019, PBFX closed on the transaction contemplated by the equity restructuring agreement (the “IDR Restructuring Agreement”) with PBF GP, pursuant to which the IDRs held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units. Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions by PBFX. Principal Products Our refineries make various grades of gasoline, distillates (including diesel fuel, jet fuel and ULSD) and other products from crude oil, other feedstocks, and blending components. We sell these products through our oil companies. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and commercial accounts, and sales with majora 2018, gasoline and distillates accounted for 84.7%, 86.8% and 84.7% of our revenues, respectively. 22 Customers We sell a variety of refined products to a diverse customer base. The majoa rity of our refined products are primarily sold through short-term contracts or on the spot market. However, we do have product offtake arrangements for a portion of our clean products. For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our revenues (approxim ately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues. As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable (approximately 16.0%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivablea as of December 31, 2019. a Seasonality Traditionally, demand for gasoline and diesel is generally higher during the summer months than during the winter months due to seasonal increases in highway traffic and construction work. Decreased demand during the winter months can lower gasoline and diesel prices. However, during 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the effects of seasonality on our operating results were skewed. Our operating results have been negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products. Competition The refining business is very competitive. We compete directly with various other refining companies on the East, Gulf and West Coasts and in the Mid-Continent, with integrated oil companies, with foreign refiners that import products into the United States and with producers and marketers in other industries supplying alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of industrial, commercial and individual consumers. Some of our competitors have expanded the capaa city of their refineries and internationally new refineries are coming on line which could also affect our competitive position. r Profitabila ity in the refining industry depends largely on refined product margins, which can fluctuate oil prices and differentials between the prices of different grades of crude oil, significantly, as well as crude operating efficiency and reliabila ity, product mix and costs of product distribution and transportation. Certain of our competitors that have larger and more complex refineries may be able to realize lower per-barrel costs or higher margins per barrel of throughput. Several of our principal competitors are integrated national or international oil companies that are larger and have substantially greater resources. Because of their integrated operations and larger capita alization, these companies may be more flexible in responding to volatile industry or market conditions, such as shortages of feedstocks or intense price fluctuations. Refining margins are frequently impacted by sharp changes in crude oil costs, which may not be immediately reflected in product prices. r The refining industry is highly competitive with respect to feedstock supply. Unlike certain of our competitors that have access to proprietary controlled sources of crude oil production available for use at their own refineries, we obtain all of our crude oil and substantially all other feedstocks from unaffiliated sources. The availabila ity and cost of crude oil and feedstock are affected by global supply and demand. We have no crude oil reserves and are not engaged in the exploration or production of crude oil. We believe, however, that we will be able to obtain adequate crude oil and other feedstocks at generally competitive prices for the foreseeable future. u t Pursuant to its Renewable Fuel Standard, the EPA has implemented mandates to blend renewable fuels into the petroleum fuels produced and sold in the United States. However, unlike certain of our competitors, we currently do not produce renewable fuels, and increasing the volume of renewable fuels that must be blended into our products displaces an increasing volume of our refinery’s product pool, potentially resulting in lower earnings and profitability. In addition, in order to meet certain of these and future EPA requirements, we may be required to continue to purchase RINs, which historically had, and we expect to have, fluctuating costs based on market conditions. The price of RINS has increased in 2020 and could increase further in 2021. 23 Corporate Officff es We currently lease approximately 63,000 square feet for our principal corporate offices in Parsippany, New Jersey.

Employees and Human Capital Safety We believe our responsibility to our employees, neighbors, shareholders and the environment is only fulfilled through our commitment to safetyt and reliabila ity. Through rigorous training, sharing of expertise across our sites, continuous monitoring and through promoting a culture of excellence in operations, we continuously strive to keep our people, the communities in which we operate in and the environment safe. Our focus on safetyt is also evident in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to utilize our COVID-19 response team to implement additional social distancing measures across the workplace in addition to the continued enhancement of personal protective equipment and the cleanliness of our facilities. Through the guidance of our COVID-19 response team, we have started to bring back a portion of our workforce to their primary locations on a phased in approach, and we will continue to rely on our team and the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic as we evaluate the appropriate time and way in which we will phase in the returnt of the rest of our workforce. a (“OSHA”) and comparablea We are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safetyt and Health Administration of the U.S. state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and Department of Labor safetyt of workers. In addition, the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We believe that our operations are in compliance with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of PBF Energy Class A common stock could fall.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses resulted in significant business and operational disrurr ptiu ons, including business closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availability of workforces. Largely, as a result of decreased demand for our products, our business results and cash flows were significantly adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, PBF Energy’s earnings and cash flow from operations decreased from $375.2 million and $933.5 million in 2019 to $(1,333.3) million and $(631.6) million in 2020, respectively. We have also experienced a substantial decline in the price of our shares of Class A common stock. In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. We expect the combination of significant demand reduction for our refined products and abnormal volatility in oil commodity prices to continue for the foreseeable future. The duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments is unknown. The continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments on our business and operations will depend on the ongoing severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effeff cts, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume in 2021 or thereafter. We continue to work with federal, state and local health authorities to respond to COVID-19 cases in the regions we operate and are taking or supporting measures to try to limit the spread of the virus and to mitigate the burden on the healthcare system. Many of these measures will continue to have an adverse impact on our business and financial results that we are not currently able to fully quantify. For example, we are continuing to phase back employees to their respective work locations and we are carefully evaluating projects at our refineries and limiting or postponing projects and other non-essential work. Based on market conditions, our refineries operated at reduced rates in 2020 and we expect them to continue to do so until market conditions substantially improve. We significantly reduced our capita al al expenditures we believe program for 2021 as compared to historic levels. We have planned a level of capita will allow us to satisfy and comply with all required safety,t al commitments and other regulatory requirements, although there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to do so. Non-compliance with applicablea requirements, including as a result of reduced staff due to an outbreak at one of our refineries, may impair our operations, may subject us to fines or penalties assessed by governmental authorities and/or may result in an environmental or safetyt incident. We may also be subject to liability as a result of claims against us by impacted workers or third parties. al expenditures in 2020 and have lowered our capita environmental and planned regulatory capita environmental and safetyt 32 The East Coast Refinff ing Reconfiguration was announced on October 29, 2020 and completed on December 31, 2020.

Our East Coast Refining System throughput capac ity is approximately 285,000 processing units. Annual operating barrels per day, reflecff and capita al expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels.

Our borrowing base availability under the Revolving a Credit Facility was $2,759.2 million as of December 31, 2020. In 2020, we required additional capia tal and issuances and approximately raised approximately $1.8 billion through $1.3 billion of secured debt were accompanied by payment and/or Certain of these asset divestitures $550.0 million of asset divestitures. purchase obligations that will impact our liquidity in 2021 and beyond.

Sustained deterioration of general economic conditions or weak demand levels persisting in 2021 could require additional actions on our part to lower our operating costs, including temporarily or permanently ceasing to operate units at our facilities, as occurred in 2020 in the case of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. There may be significant incremental costs associated with such actions. Continued or further deterioration of economic conditions may harm our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt and the trading price of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock, which has already significantly declined in 2020, could decline further. We recorded an impairme tt additional ii impaim rmen m t charges. nt charge duringii the year ended December 31, 2020 and may be required to record We recorded impairment expense totaling $98.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, associated with the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, other refinery wide project abandonments and the write-down of certain PBFX long-lived assets. In addition, as a result of the significant decrease in PBF Energy’s stock price in 2020, enduring throughput reductions across our refineries and noticeable decrease in demand for our products, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an impairment assessment on certain long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that our long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life. If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that our assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings. Any impairment could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. rr ff 33 In addition, our results and financial condition may be adversely affected by federal or state laws, regulations, orders, or other governmental or regulatory actions addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic or the U.S. refining industry, which, if adopted, could result in direct or indirect restrictions to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the financial markets and the businesses of financial instituti ons. These factors have caused a slowdown in the decision-making of these institutions, which may affect the timing on which we may obtain any additional funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. t The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a material adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial condition, cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations. There can also be no assurance that our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations will revert to pre-2020 levels once the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic cease. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, it may also have the effeff ct of heightening many of the other risks associated with our company, our business and our industry, as those risk factors are amended or supplemented by reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this Form 10-K. Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry The price volatiltt itll ytt of crude oil,ii other may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitabi feedstodd tt ii liii tyii ,yy cash flows ll i and liquidi .yy tyii cks,kk blell ndstocks,s refined products and fuel and utilitll ytt services t Our revenues, profitability, cash flows and liquidity from operations depend primarily on the margin above operating expenses (including the cost of refinery feedstocks, such as crude oil, intermediate partially refined petroleum products, and natural gas liquids that are processed and blended into refined products) at which we are able to sell refined products. Refining is primarily a margin-based business and, to increase profitability, it is important to maximize the yields of high value finished products while minimizing the costs of feedstock and operating expenses. When the margin between refined product prices and crude oil and other feedstock costs contracts, as occurred in 2020, our earnings, profitability and cash flows are negatively affecff ted. While the COVID-19 pandemic was the primary driver of the impact to our earnings, profitability and cash flows in 2020, historically, refining margins have been volatile, and are likely to continue to be volatile, as a result of a variety of factors, including fluctuations in the prices of crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and fuel and utility services. An increase or decrease in the price of crude oil will likely result in a similar increase or decrease in prices for refined products; however, there may be a time lag in the realization, or no such realization, of the similar increase or decrease in prices for refined products. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on our refining margins therefore depends in part on how quickly and how fully refined product prices adjust to reflect these changes. Although we reduced our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories in 2020 to strengthen our financial position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, historically the nature of our business has required us to maintain substantial crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories. Because crude oil, feedstock and refined products are commodities, we have no control over the changing market value of these inventories. Our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value under the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology. If the market value of our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventory declines to an amount less than our LIFO cost, we would record a write-down of inventory and a non-cash impact to cost of products and other. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an adjustment to value our inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased income from operations and net income by $268.0 million and $196.7 million, respectively, reflecting the net change in the LCM inventory reserve from $401.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $669.6 million at December 31, 2020. 34 Prices of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks, and refined products depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, other feedstocks, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, asphalt and other refined products. Such supply and demand are affected by a variety of economic, market, environmental and political conditions. a Our direct operating expense structuret also impacts our profitability. Our majora direct operating expenses include employee and contract labor, maintenance and energy. Our predominant variable direct operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of fuel and other utility services. The volatility in costs of fuel, principally natural gas, and other utility services, principally electricity, used by our refineries and other operations affect t our operating costs. Fuel and utility prices have been, and will continue to be, affected by factors outside our control, such as supply and demand for fuel and utility services in both local and regional markets. Natural gas prices have historically been volatile and, typically, electricity prices fluctuate with natural gas prices. Future increases in fuel and utility prices may have a negative effect on our refining margins, profitability and cash flows. t Our workingii e and refined product demand. ii capital ,ll cash flowsw and liquidit ytt can be signifgg icaff ii ntlyll impactedtt by volati liii tyii ll in commodityii prices Payment terms for our crude oil purchases are typically longer than those terms we extend to our customers for sales of refined products. Additionally, reductions in crude oil purchases tend to lag demand decreases for our refined products. As a result of this timing differential, the payabla es for our crude oil purchases are generally proportionally larger than the receivables for our refined product sales. As we are normally in a net payabla es position, a decrease in commodity prices generally results in a use of working capita t our working capia tal, cash flows and liquidity, all of which were, and continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. al. Given we process a significant volume of crude oil, the impact can materially affecff Our profitabi liii tyii ii is affected by crude oil differential sll and relatedtt tt factors, which fluctuate substantial .yy lyll tt ff A significant portion of our profitability is derived from the ability to purchase and process crude oil feedstocks that historically have been less expensive than benchmark crude oils, such as the heavy, sour crude oils processed at our Delaware City,t Paulsboro, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries. For our Toledo refinery, aside from recent crude differential volatility, purchased crude prices have historically been slightly above the WTI benchmark, however, such crude slate typically results in favorablea refinery production yield. als can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on overall For all locations, these crude oil differenti economic conditions and trends and conditions within the markets for crude oil and refined products. Any change in these crude oil differenti als may have an impact on our earnings. Our rail investment and strategy to acquire cost advantaged Mid-Continent and Canadian crude, which are priced based on WTI, could be adversely affected when the WTI/Dated Brent or related differentials narrow. A narrowing of the WTI/Dated Brent differential may result in our Toledo refinery losing a portion of its crude oil price advantage over certain of our competitors, which negatively impacts our profitability. In addition, efforts in Canada to control the ity to export crude may continue to result in price volatility and the imbalance between its production and capac narrowing of the WTI/WCS differenti between light U.S. and heavy Canadian crude oil, and may reduce our refining margins and adversely affect our profitability and earnings. of changes to these crude differentials in Divergent views have been expressed as to the expected magnitude future periods. Any continued or further narrowing of these differenti als could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. a al, which is a proxy for the difference ff ff ff ff t Additionally, governmental and regulatory actions, including continued resolutions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to restrict crude oil production levels and executive actions by the current U.S. presidential administration to advance certain energy infrastructuret projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline, may continue to impact crude oil prices and crude oil differentials. Any increase in crude oil prices or unfavorablea movements in crude oil differentials due to such actions or changing regulatory environment may negatively impact our ability to acquire crude oil at economical prices and could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. 35 ruptiontt cant intertt or other faciliii tiii es could reduce our production, particularly A signifi i pipelines ii Failur ii and adversely affect our future cash flows,s operatingtt ll e by one or more insurers to honor itstt coverage commitmett loss at any of our refine or casualtytt e ries and relatell d assets or logisti ,s cs terminals if not fullyll covered by our insurance. iallyll nts for an insured event could matertt ii ii results and financial conditiii on. t Our business currently consists of owning and operating six refineries and related assets, as well as logistics terminals, pipelines and other facilities. As a result, our operations could be subject to significant interruption if any of our refineries or other facilities were to experience a majoa r accident, be damaged by disaster, or otherwise be forced to shut down or curtail production due to severe weather or other natural unforeseen events, such as acts of God, nature, orders of governmental authorities, supply chain disruptions impacting our crude rail facilities or other logistics assets, power outages, acts of terrorism, fires, toxic emissions and maritime hazards. Any such shutdown or disruption would reduce the production from that refinery. There is also risk of mechanical failure and equipment shutdowns both in general and following unforeseen events. Further, in such situations, undamaged refinery processing units may be dependent on or interact with damaged sections of our refineries and, accordingly, are also subject to being shut down. In the event any of our refineries is forced to shut down for a significant period of time, it would have a material adverse effecff t on our earnings, our other results of operations and our financial condition as a whole. t As protection against these hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, such potential losses and liabilities, including claims against us by third parties relating to our operations and products. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies may increase substant ially. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. For example, coverage for hurricane damage can be limited, and coverage for terrorism risks can include broad exclusions. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effecff t on our financial position. u Our insurance program includes a number of insurance carriers. Significant disrupti t ons in financial markets could lead to a deterioration in the financial condition of many financial instituti ons, including insurance companies and, therefore, we may not be able to obtain the full amount of our insurance coverage for insured events. Even where we have insurance in place, there can be no assurance that the carriers will honor their obligations under the policies. r Our refineries are subject to interruptions and railroads for transportati tt tt on of crude oil and refined e products. of supplyll and distribution as a resultll of our reliance ii on pipelines ii Our Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries receive a significant portion of their crude oil through our owned, as well as third party, pipelines. These pipelines include the Enbridge system, Capline and Mid-Valley pipelines for supplying crude to our Toledo refinery, the MOEM Pipeline (which is owned by our subsidiary) and CAM Pipeline for supplying crude to our Chalmette refinery and the San Joaquin Pipeline, San Pablo Bay Pipeline, San Ardo and Coastal Pipeline systems for supplying crude to our Torrance and Martinez refineries. Additionally, our Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries deliver a significant portion of the refined products through pipelines. These pipelines include pipelines such as the Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. and Buckeye Partners L.P. pipelines at Toledo, the Collins pipeline (which is owned by our subsidiary) at our Chalmette refinery, the Jet Pipeline to the Los Angeles International Airport, the Product Pipeline to Vernon and the Product Pipeline to Atwood at our Torrance refinery and the KinderMorgan SFPP North Pipeline at our Martinez refinery. We could experience an interruption of supply or delivery, or an increased cost of receiving crude oil and delivering refined products to market, if the ability of these pipelines to transport crude oil or refined products is disrupted because of accidents, weather interruptions, governmental regulation, terrorism, other third-party action or casualtyt or other events. 36 The Delaware City rail unloading facilities and the East Coast Storage Assets, allow our East Coast Refining System to source WTI-based crudes from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which may provide significant cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crudes in certain market environments. Any disruptions or restrictions to our supply of crude by rail due to problems with third-party logistics infrastructuret or operations or as a result of increased regulations, could increase our crude costs and negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, due to the common carrier regulatory obligation applicable to interstate oil pipelines, ity. capac ity allocation among shippers can become contentious in the event demand is in excess of capac a Therefore, nominations by new shippers or increased nominations by existing shippers may reduce the capac ity available to us. Any prolonged interruption in the operation or curtailment of available capac ity of the pipelines that we rely upon for transportation of crude oil and refined products could have a further material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. a a a lationtt Regue and couldll have a material adverse effect on our resultsll of operations and financial condition. of emissions of greenhouse gases could force us to incur increased capital and operatingii tt ii costs Both houses of Congress have actively considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, such as carbon dioxide and methane, including proposals to: (i) establia sh a capa 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, EPA is taking steps to regulate GHGs under the existing federal CAA. 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, capa and trade systems and renewable portfolio standards (such as AB32).

It is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate form, timing or extent of federal or state regulation. In addition, it is currently uncertain how the current presidential administration or future administrations will address GHG emissions. 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. Regulatory 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 operations. b banni gng hthe salle of new ggasoliline-powe dred passe gnger cars i dand truckks byby 2035 hThe exec iutive hivehi lcles byby 2045 everywhe hivehi lcle hcharging tember 23, 2020 hthe Governor of Calilif fornia iissuedd an executiive incies to b ilbuildd out rywhere fea ibl dand dorder suffi icient lelectriic sible. ffi i i ff 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, 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-a and-Trade and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”). In 2012, CARB implemented Cap-and-Trade. This program currently places a capa 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 required a 10% reduction in the carbon intensityt of gasoline and diesel by 2020. In 2018, CARB amended the LCFS to require a 20% reduction by 2030. Compliance is achieved through blending lower carbon intensityt 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. 37 ff On September 23, 2020, the California Governor issued Executive Order N-79-20 (“N-79-20 Order”) intended to further reduce GHGs within the state. The N-79-20 Order sets a 2035 goal of no sale of internal combustion engines for passenger cars and pickup trucks within California, and a 2045 goal of no sale of internal combustion engine medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and off-road vehicles and equipment. However, the N-79-20 Order would still allow used internal combustion engine vehicles to be used and sold after these dates. The N-79-20 Order encourages zero emissions technologies such as electric vehicles, and accelerated deployment of affordablea fueling and charging options. It is currently uncertain how the N-79-20 Order may be ultimately implemented by various California regulatory agencies. In the event we do incur increased costs as a result of increased efforts to control GHG emissions through future adopted regulatory requirements, we may not be able to pass these costs to our customers. These future regulatory 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 operations. We may not be able to successfullyll realizeii the anticipate ii d benefitsii of this acquisition. tt integrate the recentlyll acquired Martinez tt ii refie nery intott our business, ii or The integration of the recently acquired Martinez refinery into our operations has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may continue to be a complex and time-consuming process that may not be successful. Even if we successfully integrate this business into our operations, there can be no assurance that we will realize the anticipated benefits and operating synergies. Our estimates regarding the earnings, operating al expenditures and liabilities resulting from this acquisition may prove to be incorrect. This cash flow, capita acquisition involves risks, including: • • • • • u es, customers and suppli ers of the acquired operations; unexpected losses of key employe m challenges in managing the increased scope, geographic 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, safetyt or other regulatory standards or for investments to improve the incurrence of additional indebtedness to finance acquisitions or capita acquired assets. diversity and complexity of our operations; al expenditures relating to operating results; and m a t In connection with the Martinez Acquisition, we did not have access to the type of historical financial information that we may require regarding the prior operation of the refinery. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to evaluate the probable impact of this acquisition on our financial performance until we have operated the acquired refinery for a substantial period of time. A cyber-attacktt have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, on, or other failure of, our technology tt infrastruc ture could affect our business resultsll of operations and cash flows. ll tt ii and assets, and technology infrastructuret We are becoming increasingly dependent on our and certain critical information systems which process, transmit and store electronic information, including information we use to safely and effectively operate our respective assets and businesses. These information systems include data network and telecommunications, internet access, our websites, and various computer hardware equipment and software applications, including those that are critical to the safe operation of our refineries and logistics assets. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant time, manpower and capita al in our technology and information systems. These information systems are subject to damage or interruption from a infrastructuret disasters, software viruses or other malware, power failures, number of potential sources including natural cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, cyber-attacks, which may render data systems unusable, and physical threats to the security of our facilities and infrastructure. Additionally, our business is highly dependent on financial, accounting and other data processing systems and other communications and information systems, including our enterprise resource planning tools. We process a large number of transactions on a daily basis and rely upon the proper functioning of computer systems. Furthermore, we rely on information systems across our respective operations, including the management of supply chain and t t 38 various other processes and transactions. As a result, a disruption on any information systems at our refineries or logistics assets, may cause disruptions to our collective operations. The potential for such security threats or system failures has subjected our operations to increased risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent that these information systems are under our control, we have implemented measures such as virus protection software, emergency recovery processes and a formal disaster recovery plan to address the outlined risks. However, security measures for information systems cannot be guaranteed to be failsafe, and our formal disaster recovery plan and other implemented measures may not prevent delays or other complications that could arise from an information systems failure. If a key system were hacked or otherwise interfered with by an unauthorized user, or were to fail or experience unscheduled downtime for any reason, even if only for a short period, or any compromise of our data security or our inabila impact the ity to use or access these information systems at critical points in time, it could unfavorablya timely and efficient operation of our business, damage our reputation and subject us to additional costs and liabilities. The implementation of social distancing measures and other limitations on our workforce in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated portions of our workforce switching to remote work arrangements. The increase in companies and individuals working remotely has increased the frequency and scope of cyber-attacks and the risk of potential cybersecurity incidents, both deliberate attacks and unintentional events. While, to date, we have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had a material impact on our business or results of operations, if we were to be subjeu ct to a material successful cyber intrusion, it could result in remediation or service restoration costs, increased cyber protection costs, lost revenues, litigation or regulatory actions by governmental authorities, increased insurance premiums, reputational damage and damage to our competitiveness, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Cyber-attacks against us or others in our industry could result in additional regulations, and U.S. government warnings have indicated that infrastructuret assets, including pipelines, may be specifically targeted by certain groups. These attacks include, without limitation, malicious software, ransomware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches. These attacks may be perpetrated by state- sponsored groups, “hacktivists”, criminal organizations or private individuals (including employee malfeasance). Current efforts by the federal government, such as the Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure executive order, and any potential future regulations could lead to increased regulatory compliance costs, insurance coverage cost or capita al expenditures. We cannot predict the potential impact to our business or the energy industry resulting from additional regulations. Further, our business interruption insurance may not compensate us adequately for losses that may occur. We do not carry insurance specifically for cybersecurity events; however, certain of our insurance policies may allow for coverage for a cyber-event resulting in ensuing property damage from an otherwise insured peril. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the proceeds of any such insurance may not be paid in a timely manner and may be insufficient if such an event were to occur. 39 Our hedging activitiii es may limi tii our potentiali ii ii gains, exacerbate potentiali losses and involvell tt other risks. t We may enter into commodity derivatives contracts to hedge our crude price risk or crack spread risk with respect to a portion of our expected gasoline and distillate production on a rolling basis or to hedge our gas, which is a significant component of our refinery operating expenses. exposure to the price of natural Consistent with that policy we may hedge some percentage of our future crude and natural We may enter into hedging arrangements with the intent to secure a minimum fixed cash flow stream on the volume of products hedged during the hedge term and to protect against volatility in commodity prices. Our hedging arrangements may fail to fully achieve these objectives for a variety of reasons, including our failure to have adequate hedging arrangements, if any, in effect at any particular time and the failure of our hedging arrangements to produce the anticipated results. We may not be able to procure adequate hedging arrangements due to a variety of factors. Moreover, such transactions may limit our ability to benefit from favorablea changes gas prices. In addition, our hedging activities may expose us to the risk t in crude oil, refinff ed product and natural of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which: u gas supply. t • • • • • t gas or production of the applicablea interruptions in feedstock transportation, the volumes of our actual use of crude oil or natural is less than the volumes subject to the hedging arrangement; inclement weather or other events cause accidents, unscheduled shutdowns or otherwise adversely affect our refineries, or those of our suppliers or customers; changes in commodity prices have a material impact on collateral and margin requirements under our hedging arrangements, resulting in us being subject to margin calls; the counterparties to our derivative contracts fail to perform under the contracts; or a sudden, unexpected event materially impacts the commodity or crack spread subject to the hedging arrangement. refined products As a result, the effectiveness of our hedging strategy could have a material impact on our financial results. See “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” In addition, these hedging activities involve basis risk. Basis risk in a hedging arrangement occurs when the price of the commodity we hedge is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged commodity is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. For example, a NYMEX index used for hedging certain volumes of our crude oil or refined products may have more or less variability than the actual cost or price we realize for such crude oil or refined products. We may not hedge all the basis risk inherent in our hedging arrangements and derivative contracts. We may have capital not be adequate. ii needs forff which our internallyll generated cash flowsw and other sources of liquidit ytt may ii Our cash flow from operations decreased from $933.5 million in 2019 to a loss of $631.6 million in 2020.

Termination of our Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, which are currently scheduled to expire in 2021, would require us to finance the J. Aron Products covered by the agreements, which financing may not be available at 40 terms that are as favorable or at all. We are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron all volumes of the J.

We continue to utilize significant capita equipment, improve facilities, and reduce operational, safetyt and environmental risks. In connection with the Paulsboro and Torrance acquisitions, we assumed certain significant environmental obligations, and may similarly do so in future acquisitions. We will likely incur substantial compliance costs in connection with new regulations. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or changing environmental, health and safetyt of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our liquidity and financial condition will affect our ability to satisfy any and all of these needs or obligations.

This may hinder or prevent us from meetingtt on acceptable fundingii terms or at all because of volati ll our future capital and uncertaintyii ii needs. liii tyii tt in In the past, global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and may again be, subject to disruption and volatile due to a variety of factors, including uncertainty in the financial services sector, low consumer confidence, falling commodity prices, geopolitical issues and generally weak economic conditions. In addition, the fixed income markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility that have negatively impacted market liquidity conditions, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the cost of raising money in the debt and equity capita ity ity of of funds from those markets diminished significantly. In particular, as a result of concerns about the stabila financial markets generally, which may be subject to unforeseen disruptions, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets may increase as many lenders and institutional investors increase interest rates, enact tighter lending standards, refuse to refinance existing debt on similar terms or at all and reduce or, in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that new debt or equity financing will be available on acceptablea only on unfavorablea terms.

PBF Energy is not obligated under any applicable laws, its governing documents or any contractual agreements with its existing and prior 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). Any future declaration, amount and payment of any dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, however, because the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and related market activity is difficult to predict, we do not anticipate that our board of directors will determine to declare a dividend in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors may take into account, among other things, general economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash al requirements, plans for expansion, including acquisitions, tax, legal, regulatory and contractual needs, capita restrictions and implications, including under our subsidiaries’ outstanding debt documents, and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant in determining whether to declare or pay any dividend. 41 Because PBF Energy is a holding company with no material assets (other than the equity interests of its direct subsidiary), its cash flow and ability to pay dividends is dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of its indirect subsidiaries PBF Holding and PBFX and their respective operating subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of cash to it in the form of dividends or otherwise. The direct and indirect subsidiaries of PBF Energy are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to make any funds available to it other than in the case of certain intercompany transactions. As a result, if PBF Energy does not declare or pay dividends you may not receive any returnt on an investment in PBF Energy Class A common stock unless you sell PBF Energy Class A common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

The market prices for RINsNN have been volati to be impactm edtt ll to complym by significff ant coststt ii leii and may harm our profitabi with renewable fuels .yy liii tyii Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, EPA has issued the Renewable Fuel Standard, implementing mandates to blend renewable fuels into the petroleum fuels produced and sold in the United States. Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, the volume of renewable fuels that obligated refineries must blend into their finished petroleum fuels increases annually over time until 2022. In addition, certain states have passed legislation that requires minimum biodiesel blending in finished distillates. On October 13, 2010, EPA raised the maximum amount of ethanol allowed under federal law fromff 10% to 15% for cars and light trucks manufactured since 2007. The maximum amount allowed under federal law currently remains at 10% ethanol for all other vehicles. Existing laws and regulations could change, and the minimum volumes of renewable fuels that must be blended with refined petroleum fuels may increase. Because we do not produce renewable fuels, increasing the volume of renewable fuels that must be blended into our products displaces an increasing volume of our refinery’s product pool, potentially resulting in lower earnings and profitability. In addition, in order to meet certain of these and future EPA requirements, we may be required to purchase RINs, which may have fluctuating costs based on market conditions. The price of RINS has increased in 2020 and could increase further in 2021. We incurred approximately $326.4 million in RINs costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $122.7 million and $143.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fluctuations in our RINs costs are due primarily to volatility in prices for ethanol-linked RINs and increases in our production of on-road transportation fuels since 2012. Our RINs purchase obligation is dependent on our actual shipment of on-road transportation fuels domestically and the amount of blending achieved which can cause variability in our profitability.

In addition, we compete with other refiners, producers and marketers in other industries that supply their own renewable fuels or alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of our industrial, commercial and individual consumers. Many of our competitors have not been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as much as we have been impacted. Certain of our competitors have larger and more complex refineries, and may be able to realize lower per-barrel costs or higher margins per barrel of throughput. Several of our principal competitors are integrated national or international oil companies that are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do and access to proprietary sources of controlled crude oil production. Unlike these competitors, we obtain substantially all of our feedstocks from unaffiliated sources. We are not engaged in the petroleum exploration and production business and therefore do not produce any of our crude oil feedstocks. We do not have a retail business and therefore are dependent upon others for outlets for our refined products. Because of their integrated operations and larger capita alization, these companies may be more flexible in responding to volatile industry or market conditions, such as shortages of crude oil supply and other feedstocks or intense price fluctuations and they may also be able to obtain more favorable trade credit terms. u 42 Newer or upgraded refineries will often be more efficient than our refineries, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage. We have taken significant measures to maintain our refineries including the installation of new equipment and redesigning older equipment to improve our operations. However, these actions involve significant uncertainties, since upgraded equipment may not perform at expected throughput levels, the yield and product quality of new equipment may differff design specifications and modifications may be needed to correct equipment that does not perform as expected. Any of these risks associated with new equipment, redesigned older equipment or repaired equipment could lead to lower revenues or higher costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on future results of operations and financial condition. Over time, our refineries or certain refinery units may become obsolete, or be unable to compete, because of the construction of new, more efficient facilities by our competitors. fromff A portion of our workforce is unionized, and we may face labor disruptions operations. tt that wouldll interfere with our Most hourly employees at our refineries are covered by collective bargaining agreements through the USW, the IOW and the IBEW.

In connection with the acquisitions of certain of our refineries and logistics assets, the prior owners have retained certain liabilities or indemnified us for certain liabilities, including those relating to pre-acquisition soil and groundwater conditions, and in some instances we have assumed certain liabilities and environmental obligations, including certain existing and potential remediation obligations. If the prior owners fail to satisfy their obligations for any reason, or if significant liabilities arise in the areas in which we assumed liability, we may become responsible for remediation expenses and other environmental liabilities, which could have a material adverse effeff ct on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. As a result, al expenditures or incurring other costs to comply with environmental laws, we also may be liable for significant environmental litigation or for investigation and remediation costs and other liabilities arising from the ownership or operation of these assets by prior owners, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. See “Item 1. Business—Environmental, Health and Safetyt Matters” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations and Commitments”. in addition to making capita t We may also face liability arising from current or future claims alleging personal injury or property damage due to exposure to chemicals or other regulated materials, such as various perfluorinated compounds, including perfluorooctanoate, perfluorooctane sulfonate, perfluorohexane sulfonate, or other per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, asbestos, benzene, silica dust and petroleum hydrocarbons, at or from our facilities. We may also face liability for personal injury, property damage, natural resource damage or clean-up costs for the alleged migration of contamination from our properties. A significant increase in the number or success of these claims could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. t 45 Product liabil of operations. i itll ytt and operational liabil itll ytt claimll i s and litiii gati i on couldll adversely affect our busines ii s and resultstt Product liability and liability arising from our operations are significant risks. Substantial damage awards have been made in certain jurisdictions against manufacturers and resellers of petroleum products based upon claims for injuries and property damage caused by the use of or exposure to various products. Failure of our products to meet required specifications or claims that a product is inherently defective could result in product liability claims from our shippers and customers, and also arise from contaminated or off-specification product in commingled pipelines and storage tanks and/or defective fuels. We may also be subjeu ct to personal injury claims arising from incidents that occur in connection with or relating to our operations. Product liability and personal injury claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. alii Potenti ons relatedtt tt operations and adversely affect our facilitll iett s. laws and regulati tt further ll to climll ate change could have a material tt adverse impactm on our Some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, floods and other climatic events. We believe the issue of climate change will likely continue to receive scientific and political attention, with the potential for further laws and regulations that could materially adversely affecff t our ongoing operations. In addition, as many of our facilities are located near coastal areas, rising sea levels may disrupt our ability to operate those facilities or transport crude oil and refined petroleum products. Extended periods of such disruption could have an adverse effect on our results of operation. We could also incur substantial costs to protect or repair these facilities. Our pipelines ii of cash we generate.ee are subject to federal and/or stattt ett regulati ll ons, which couldll reduce profitabiliii tyii and the amount Our transportation activities are subject to regulation by multiple governmental agencies. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, the FERC, the United States Department of Transportation, and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective or what impact such proposals may have. Projected operating costs related to our pipelines reflect the recurring costs resulting from compliance with these regulations, and these costs may increase due to future acquisitions, changes in regulation, changes in use, or discovery of existing but unknown compliance issues. ions We are subject to strict laws and regulat tt withii could have a matertt conditiontt these laws and regulat tt ions .yy and profitabiliii tyii e e e regardin gn employm ee and process safety,yy and failure to complym ial adverse effect on our resultsll of operations, financial We are subject to the requirements of the OSHA, and comparablea state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safetyt of workers. In addition, OSHA requires that we maintain information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that we provide this information to employees, state and local governmental authorities, and local residents. Failure to comply with OSHA requirements, including general standards and control of occupational exposure to regulated substances, could result in claims against us that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and the cash flows of the business if we are subjected to significant fines or compliance costs. industry standards, process safetyt 46 Compliance withtt and changesn in tax laws couldll adverserr ly affect our performr ance. We are subject to extensive tax liabila ities, including federal, state, local and foreign taxes such as income, excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, property, gross receipts, withholding and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. These liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authorities, which could increase our tax liabilities. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may also subject us to interest and penalties. There can be no certainty that our federal, state, local or foreign taxes could be passed on to our customers. t Changes in our credit profile could adversely affect our business. ii Changes in our credit profile could affect the way crude oil and other suppliers view our ability to make payments and induce them to shorten the payment terms for our purchases or require us to post security or letters of credit prior to payment. Due to the large dollar amounts and volume of our crude oil and other feedstock purchases, any imposition by these suppliers of more burdensome payment terms on us may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to make payments to our suppliers. This, in turn, could cause us to be unablea to operate one or more of our refineries at full capac ity. a alii and authorizations We could incur substanti permitsii . regulations tt tt tt costs or disruptions or otherwise complym tt in our business ii if we cannot obtainii or maintain necessary health, safea ty, environmental and other laws and ii withii Our operations require numerous permits and authorizations under various laws and regulations. These authorizations and permits are subject to revocation, renewal or modification and can require operational changes to limit impacts or potential impacts on the environment and/or health and safety. A violation of authorization or permit conditions or other legal or regulatory requirements could result in substantial fines, criminal sanctions, permit revocations, injunctions, and/or facility shutdowns. In addition, major modifications of our operations could require modifications to our existing permits or upgrades to our existing pollution control equipment. Any or all of these matters could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. We may incur significant liabilities under, or costs and capital expenditures to comply with, health, safety, environmental and other laws and regulations, which are complex and change frequently. Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws regulating, among other things, the handling of petroleum and other regulated materials, the emission and discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, and remediation of discharges of petroleum and petroleum products, characteristics and composition of gasoline and distillates and other matters otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Our operations are also subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety, in addition to laws and regulations affecting the transportation of crude oil by rail in North America. t We cannot predict what additional environmental, health and safety legislation or regulations may be adopted in the future, or how existing or futuret laws or regulations may be administered or interpreted with respect to our operations. Many of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance with these requirements can be expected to increase over time. Certain environmental laws impose strict, and in certain circumstances joint and several liability for, costs of investigation and cleanup of such spills, discharges or releases on owners and operators of, as well as persons who arrange for treatment or disposal of regulated materials at contaminated sites. Under these laws, we may incur liability or be required to pay penalties for past contamination, and third parties may assert claims against us for damages allegedly arising out of any past or futuret contamination. The potential penalties and clean-up costs for past or futuret releases or spills, the failure of prior owners of our facilities to complete their clean-up obligations, the liability to third parties for damage to their property, or the need to address newly-discovered information or conditions that may require a response could be significant, and the payment of these amounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 47 Risks Related to Our Indebtedness Our substanti ali our obligations tt tt indebtedness could adversely affect our financialii under our indebtedne ss. tt conditiii on and prevent us from fulfillill ngii iSenior Notes”)) iSenior Notes )”), hthe proce deds of Our indebtedness may significantly affect our financial flexibility in the future.

Certain other significant agreements of ours such as our Revolving Credit Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement, as defined below, and Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron also contain provisions related to a change in control that could make it more difficult or expensive for a third-party to acquire us. 49 includingii to undertake certain types of transactions, which could adversely affect our business, our notes, may limit ii the indentures governingii Restrictive covenants in our debt instrumtt abilitll ytt tt condition, resultsll ofo operations and our abiliii tyii to service our indebtednes ii our financiali ents,tt s. tt t t Various covenants in our current and future debt instruments and other financing arrangements, including governing our notes, may restrict our and our subsidiaries’ financial flexibility in a number of the indentures ways. Our current indebtedness and the indentures that govern our notes subject us to significant financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, place liens upon assets, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and investments, consummate certain asset sales or asset swaps,a conduct businesses other than our current businesses, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. Some of our debt instruments also require our subsidiaries to satisfy or maintain certain financial condition tests in certain circumstances. Our ability to meet these financial condition tests can be affected by events beyond our control and we may not meet such tests. In addition, a failure to comply with the provisions of our existing debt could result in an event of default that our lenders, subject to the terms and conditions of such debt, to declare the outstanding principal, could enablea together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payablea . Events beyond our control, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses and developments in the global oil markets, may affect our ability to comply with our covenants. If we were unable to repay the accelerated amounts, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such debt. If the payment of our debt is accelerated, defaults under our other debt instruments, if any, may be triggered, and our assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full. If we incur indebtedness provided or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, including pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, we may become including limitations on employee headcount and subjeu compensation reductions and other cost reduction activities that could adversely affecff to additional restrictions on our operations, t us. ct The discontinuat adverse impactm ii iontt of LIBOR,R and the adoption of an alternat tt ivtt e reference rate,e may have a material on our floatingii ratett indebtedness and financ ii ing costs. We are subject to interest rate risk on floating interest rate borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”). These borrowings have the optionality to use London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark for shing the interest rate. On November 30, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced establia that it intends to continue publishing LIBOR until the end of June 2023, beyond the previously announced 2021 cessation date. The IBA announcement was supported by announcements from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “U.S. Regulators”). However, both the FCA and U.S. Regulators in their announcements also advised banks to cease entering into new contracts referencing LIBOR after December 2021. These announcements indicate that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis may not be assured after 2021 and will not be assured beyond 2023. In light of these recent announcements, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined, or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout, could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past or cease to exist. In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the working group formed to recommend an alternative rate to LIBOR) has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. There can be no guarantee that SOFR will become a widely accepted benchmark in place of LIBOR or what its adoption as a replacement rate would have on us. Although the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR, including the discontinuance of LIBOR publication and the adoption of SOFR as the replacement rate forff LIBOR, remains unclear, these changes may have an adverse impact on our floating rate indebtedness and financing costs. 50 Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure and PBF Energy Class A Common Stock is the managingn member of PBF LLC and itstt only material asset is itstt PBF Energyr Accordindd gly,yy PBF Energy depends upon distributi meet itstt other obligations and/or pay dividends in thett tt ii future. ons from PBF LLC and itstt subsidiaries to pay itstt intertt est in PBF LLC. taxes, PBF Energy is a holding company and all of its operations are conducted through subsidiaries of PBF LLC. PBF Energy has no independent means of generating revenue and no material assets other than its ownership interest in PBF LLC. We depend on the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries to meet our obligations, including our indebtedness, tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under a tax receivable agreement entered into with PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). If we do not receive such cash distributions, dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries, we may be unablea to meet our obligations and/or pay dividends. PBF Energy, as the sole managing partner of PBF LLC, may cause PBF LLC to make distributions to its members in an amount sufficient to enablea PBF Energy to cover all applicable taxes at assumed tax rates, to make payments owed by PBF Energy under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay other obligations and dividends, if any, declared by PBF Energy. To the extent we need funds and any of our subsidiaries is restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of our financing or other contractual arrangements, or is otherwise unable to provide such funds, such restrictions could materially adversely affecff t our liquidity and financial condition. The Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and certain of our other outstanding debt arrangements include a restricted payment covenant, which restricts the ability of PBF Holding to make distributions to us, and we anticipate our future debt will contain a similar restriction. PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and PBFX’s indenture governing its PBFX 2023 Senior Notes also contain covenants that limit or restrict PBFX’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to make distributions and other restricted payments and restrict PBFX’s ability to incur liens and enter into burdensome agreements. In addition, there may be restrictions on payments by our subsidiaries under applicable al and to make payments to laws, including laws that require companies to maintain minimum amounts of capita stockholders only from profits. For example, PBF Holding is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of the limited liability company (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets, and PBFX is subject to a similar prohibition. As a result, we may be unable to obtain that cash to satisfy our obligations and make payments to PBF Energy stockholders, if any. The rightstt of other members of PBF LLC maya conflict stockholders. ff with the interes tt ts of PBF Energy Class ll A common ff The interests of the other members of PBF LLC, which include current and former directors and officers, may not in all cases be aligned with PBF Energy Class A common stockholders’ interests. For example, these members may have different tax positions which could influence their positions, including regarding whether and when we dispose of assets and whether and when we incur new or refinance existing indebtedness, especially in light of the existence of the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration these tax or other considerations even where no similar benefit would accrue to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders or us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—IPO Related Agreements” in our 2021 Proxy Statement incorporated herein by reference. t 51 Under the Tax Receivable Agreement,tt PBF Energyr LLC Series A Unitsii and PBF LLC Series B Unitsii may claimll arising in connection withii shares of itstt Class allowll i obligati PBF LLC, under certainii on under the Tax Receivablell Agreement.

See “Item 13. Agreement, including tax benefits attributablea Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.” As a result of the impact of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC d to zero as of 740, Income Taxes, PBF Energy’s liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced December 31, 2020. As future taxable income is recorded, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liabila ity may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. If PBF Energy does not have taxable income, PBF Energy generally is not required (absent a change of control or circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no benefit will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year will likely generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in previous or future tax years. The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The foregoing are merely estimates based on assumptim ons that 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 PBF Energy Class A common stock as contemplated by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the price of PBF Energy Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of PBF Energy’s income. The actual payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could differ materially. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, (i) the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits PBF Energy realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and/or (ii) distributions to PBF Energy by PBF LLC are not sufficient to permit PBF Energy, after it has paid its taxes and other obligations, to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon any recipient’s continued ownership of us. In certain cases, payments by PBF Energyr significi t of the tax attribut Agreement.tt These provisiii ons maya deter a change in control of the Company. under the Tax Receivablell Agreement may be accelerate tt d and/or ll subject to the Tax Receivablell antly exceed the actual benefitstt it realizes in respec estt s The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that upon certain changes of control, or if, at any time, PBF Energy elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, PBF Energy’s (or its successor’s) obligations with respect to exchanged or acquired PBF LLC Series A Units (whether exchanged or acquired before or after such transaction) would be based on certain assumptim ons, including (i) that PBF Energy would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) that the subsidiaries of PBF LLC will sell certain nonamortizablea assets (and realize certain related tax benefits) no later than a specified date. Moreover, in each of these instances, PBF Energy would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value (at a discount rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points) of the anticipated future tax benefits (based on the foregoing assumptim ons). Accordingly, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be made years in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the anticipated future tax benefits 52 and may be significantly greater than the actual benefits PBF Energy realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situat ions, PBF Energy’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity. PBF Energy may not be able to finance its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and its existing indebtedness may limit its subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions to PBF Energy to pay these obligations. These provisions may deter a potential sale of our Company to a third-party and may otherwise make it less likely that a third-party would enter into a change of control transaction with us. t Moreover, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that PBF Energy determines in accordance with the Tax Receivable Agreement. PBF Energy will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if the Internal Revenue Service subsequently disallows part or all of the tax benefits that gave rise to such prior payments. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are significantly in excess of the benefits that PBF Energy actually realized in respect of (i) the increases in tax basis resulting from our purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to PBF Energy entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributablea to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the futuret for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. 53 The market price of PBF Energyr Class which couldll cause the value of you ll .ee r investment to declinell A common stock declinedii ff significantlyll tt in 2020 and may be volatll ile, The market price of PBF Energy Class A common stock declined significantly in 2020 and may be highly volatile and subjecb t to wide fluctuations due to a number of factors including: • market conditions in the oil refining industry and volatility in commodity prices and the ongoing • • • • • • • • impact of COVID-19; changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates of securities analysts; variations in actual or anticipated operating results or dividends, if any, to stockholders; the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries, including disruptions due to problems with third-party logistics infrastructure; t litigation and government investigations; the timing and announcement of any potential acquisitions or divestitures any future acquisitions or divestitures operations; changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations or enforcement thereof; general economic and stock market conditions; and the availability for sale, or sales by PBF Energy or its senior management, of a significant number of shares of its Class A common stock in the public market. and subsequent impact of financial condition or results of on our capita al structure, t t t In addition, the stock markets generally may experience significant volatility, often unrelated to the operating performance of the individual companies whose securities are publicly-traded. These and other factors may cause the market price of PBF Energy Class A common stock to decrease significantly, which in turn would adversely affecff t the value of your investment. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation. Our current stockholdersrr could experience dilutio common stock. tt ii n, which could further tt depress the price of our Class A We continue to require substantial working capita al to fund our business. We may sell equity securities or convertible securities or other derivative securities in the public or private markets if we continue to need capita al, and even when conditions or terms are not otherwise favorable, including at prices at or below the then current market price of our shares of Class A common stock. As a result, stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of the introduction of a large number of shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Class A common stock, into the market or the perception that these sales could occur. Sales of a large number of shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Class A common stock, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. In addition, any equity securities we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Class A common stock, and our current debt agreements contain, and any agreements for future debt or preferred equity financings, if available, are likely to contain, covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt. Holders of Class A common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Because our decision to issue securities in any future al needs as well as market conditions and other factors beyond om control, we offering will depend on our capita or impact of future issuances, if any. Our Class A common cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, naturet stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the per share market price of our Class A common stock. 54 Risks Related to Our Ownership of PBFX We depeee nd upon PBFX for a substanti minimii alii nts in our commerciali um volume commitmett portion of our refine ries’ logisti agreementstt withii PBFX.XX e tt ii cs needs and have obligati i ons for We depend on PBFX to receive, handle, store and transfer crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas for us from our operations and sources located throughout the United States and Canada in support of certain of our refineries under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with our subsidiaries. These commercial agreements have an initial term ranging from one to fifteen years and generally include minimum quarterly commitments and inflation escalators. If we fail to meet the minimum commitments during any calendar quarter, we will be required to make a shortfalff l payment quarterly to PBFX equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the applicablea fee. t disasters and acts of terrorism; mechanical or structural PBFX’s operations are subject to all of the risks and operational hazards inherent in receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas, including: damages to its facilities, related equipment and surrounding properties caused by floods, fires, severe weather, explosions and other failures at PBFX’s facilities or at third-party t natural facilities on which its operations are dependent; curtailments of operations relative to severe seasonal weather; inadvertent damage to our facilities from construction, farm and utility equipment; and other hazards. Any of these events or factors could result in severe damage or destruction to PBFX’s assets or the temporary or permanent shut-down of PBFX’s facilities. If PBFX is unable to serve our logistics needs, our ability to operate our refineries and receive crude oil and distribute products could be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. t t In addition, as of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC owns 29,953,631 common units representing 48.0% limited partner interest in PBFX. The inability of PBFX to continue operations, perform under its commercial arrangements with our subsidiaries or the occurrence of any of these risks or operational hazards, could also adversely impact the value of our investment in PBFX and, because PBFX is a consolidated entity, our business, financial condition and results of operations. PBF Energy willii be requiredii subsidiary flow-through entitiii es (includingii Energyr receives from PBF LLC. to pay taxes on itstt share of taxablell income from PBF LLC and itstt other PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions PBF 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 the taxabla e income of PBF LLC 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 taxabla e income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately availablea 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. 55 If PBFX was to be treated as a corporati purposes or if PBFX was otherwise subject to entityii ders, itstt unithol ii includingii ll ii the unitstt held by us. includingii to us, would be reduced, likel rr on, rather than as a partnershi -level taxation, p,ii ell PBFX’s cash availabl rr tt for U.S. federal income tax tion to ii reduction in the value of units, tt for distribu ii yll causingn a substanti ali tt The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly-traded partnerships, including PBFX, or an investment in its common units may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. For example, from time to time the U.S. Congress considers substantive changes to the existing federal income tax laws that would affect publicly-traded partnerships. Any modification to the U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof may or may not be applied retroactively and could make it more difficult or impossible for PBFX to meet the exception to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the value of an investment in PBFX common units. If PBFX were treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would pay U.S. federal income tax on income at the corporate tax rate, which is currently a maximum of 21% under the TCJA, and would likely be liable for state income tax at varying rates. Distributions to PBFX unitholders would generally be taxed again as corporate distributions, and no income, gains, losses, deductions or credits would flow through to PBFX unitholders. Because taxes would be imposed upon PBFX as a corporation, the cash availablea for distribution to PBFX unitholders would be substantially reduced. Therefore, PBFX’s treatment as a to PBFX would result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax returnt corporation unitholders, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of the units. rr Allll of the executive officers and a majority of the directors of PBF GP are also current or former officers or directors of PBF Energy. Conflicts of interest could arise as a resultll of this arrangement. a PBF Energy indirectly owns and controls PBF GP, and appoints all of its officers and directors. All of the executive officers and a majori ty of the directors of PBF GP are also current or former officers or directors of PBF Energy. These individuals will devote significant time to the business of PBFX. Although the directors and officers of PBF GP have a fiduciary duty to manage PBF GP in a manner that is beneficial to PBF Energy, as directors and officers of PBF GP they also have certain duties to PBFX and its unitholders. Conflicts of interest may arise between PBF Energy and its affiliates, including PBF GP, on the one hand, and PBFX and its unitholders, on the other hand. In resolving these conflicts of interest, PBF GP may favor its own interests and the interests of PBFX over the interests of PBF Energy. In certain circumstances, PBF GP may refer any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest between PBFX, on the one hand, and PBF Energy, on the other hand, to its conflicts committee (which must consist entirely of independent directors) for resolution, which conflicts committee must act in the best interests of the public unitholders of PBFX. As a result, PBF GP may manage the business of PBFX in a way that may differ from the best interests of PBF Energy or its stockholders. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued the Ethanol Permit to DCR allowing the utilization of existing denatured ethanol to be loaded tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enablea from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The judge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone or Court directed the Coastal Zone Board Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of ethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. The parties to the action filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the Board concur with the parties’ proposal to secure from the Superior Court confirmation that all rights and claims are preserved for any subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and that the matter then be scheduled for a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The Coastal Zone Board notified the parties in January of 2020 that it concurred with the parties’ proposed course of action. The appellants and DCR subsequently filed a motion with the Superior Court requesting relief consistent with what was described to the Coastal Zone Board. In March of 2020, the Superior Court issued a letter relinquishing jurisdiction over the matter, and concurring with the parties’ proposal to allow the case to proceed to a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The parties must now jointly propose to the Coastal Zone Board a schedule for prehearing activity and a merits hearing to resolve the matter. The parties must, therefore, submit to the Coastal Zone Board a joint proposed proceedings related to the merits hearing to resolve the matter. schedule to govern futuret , the Superi u ff On September 11, 2020, DCR received two Citations and Notification of Penalties, with sub-parts, from OSHA related to a combustion incident occurring on March 11, 2020. The citation seeks to impose penalties in the amount of $401,923 related to alleged violations of the Occupation Safetyt and Health Act of 1970. An informal conference with OSHA on October 2, 2020 was unsuccessful in resolving the matter, and, as a result, DCR filed a Notice of Contest with OSHA contesting the citations in their entirety at the end of the informal conference. OSHA filed its Complaint on December 13, 2020, and DCR filed its response on January 4, 2021. OSHA and DCR participated in mandatory meditation on February 2, 2021, which was unsuccessful. On February 4, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion to continue settlement negotiations until February 25, 2021. The motion was granted on February 4, 2021. If the settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, the matter will proceed to litigation. In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflect the estimated cost of the remediation obligations. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we purchased a ten year, $100.0 million environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, we assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to our ownership of the refinery and logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or Notice of Violations (“NOVs”) issued by regulatory agencies in various years before our ownership, including the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safetyt and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”). 57 Subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance, the City of Torrance Fire Department, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets both before and after our acquisition. EPA in November 2016 conducted a Risk Management Plan (“RMP”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and issued preliminary findings in March 2017 concerning RMP potential operational violations. Since EPA’s issuance of the preliminary findings in March 2017, we have been in substantive discussions to resolve the preliminary findings. Effective January 9, 2020, we and EPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (“CAFO”), effective as of January 9, 2020, which contains no admission by us for any alleged violations in the CAFO, includes a release from all alleged violations in the CAFO, requires payment of a penalty of $125,000 and the implementation of a supplemental environmental project (“SEP”) of at least $219,000 that must be completed by December 15, 2021. The SEP will consist of configuring the northeast fire water monitor to automatically deploy water upon detection of a release. ff EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) in December 2016 conducted a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”)RR inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and also issued in March 2017 preliminary findings concerning RCRA potential operational violations. On June 14, 2018, the Torrance refinery and DTSC reached settlement regarding the oil bearing materials. Following this settlement, in June 2018, DTSC referred the remaining alleged RCRA violations from EPA’s and DTSC’s December 2016 inspection to the California Attorney General for final Attorney General are in discussions to resolve these alleged resolution. The Torrance refinery and the California remaining RCRA violations. ff ff On May 8, 2020, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the first half of 2017 for $878,450. We have offered to settle the NOV for approximately $430,000 and are awaiting a response from the SCAQMD. On February 4, 2021, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the second half of 2017 for $1.3 million. We are evaluating the allegations and will be communicating with the SCAQMD regarding the allegations and the settlement offer upon the completion of our review. On November 30, 2020, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) issued a draft Stipulated Order to the Martinez refinery in connection with alleged total suspended solids exceedances that occurred in March 2020, which draft order included a proposed penalty of $310,000. Subsequently, the RWQCB proposed to settle these alleged exceedances for $126,000. We are reviewing and will be communicating with the RWQCB regarding the allegations and the revised settlement offer upon the completion of our review. On December 4, 2020, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("PaDEP") issued a draft Consent Order and Agreement to PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC with respect to two alleged violations at the Philadelphia terminal for failure to: 1) test and inspect regulated piping as required in accordance with industry standards; and 2) have a professional engineering certification that all above ground storage tanks meet the applicable performance standards and requirements as a result of an alleged release of oil on January 10, 2020 into the Schuylkill River resulting from a pipe leak that was not contained by emergency containment structure. The draft order included a proposed penalty of $800,000. We are reviewing and will be communicating with the PaDEP regarding the allegations and the settlement offer upon the completion of our review. t As the ultimate outcomes of the matters discussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate. 58 On December 5, 1990, prior to our ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Adamdd Thomas, et al. v. Exxonxx Mobil Corporation and Chalmette Refining, filed an action on behalf of himself and potentially thousands of other individuals in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish who were allegedly exposed to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide as a result of more than 100 separate flaring events that occurred between 1989 and 2010. The plaintiffsff claimed to have suffered physical injuries, property damage, and other damages as a result of the releases. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest, and costs. On June 18, 2020, plaintiffs and defendants entered into a settlement agreement and release, the terms and conditions of which are confidential. On that same date, the court entered a final judgment that dismissed with prejudice all claims asserted against defendants in this matter. The outcome did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. u u On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxonxx Mobil Corporation, et al., we and PBF Energy Inc., and our subsidiaries, PBF Western Region and Torrance Refining and the manager of our Torrance refinery along with ExxonMobil were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Arnold Goldstein, John Covas, Gisela Janette La Bella and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superi or Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict liability, ultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance, a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance refinery which was then owned and operated by ExxonMobil. The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in the complaint. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims relate to the ESP explosion, ExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. On July 2, 2018, the court granted leave to plaintiffs’ to file a Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination. With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs’ added an additional plaintiff,ff Hany Youssef. On March 18, 2019, the class certification hearing was held and the court took the matter under submission. On April 1, 2019, the court issued an order denying class certification. On April 15, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal the Order Denying Motion for Class Certification. On May 3, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Motion with the Central District Court for Leave to File a Renewed Motion for Class Certification. On May 22, 2019, the judge granted plaintiffs’ motion. We filed our opposition to the motion on July 29, 2019. The plaintiffs’ff motion was heard on September 23, 2019. On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed asses relate subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for ultrahazardous activities. The certifiedff to trespass claims for ground contamination and nuisance for air emissions. On February 5, 2021, our motion for Limited Extension of Discovery Cut-Off and a Motion by plaintiffs for Leave to File Third Amended Complaint were heard by the court. On February 9, 2021, the court issued an Order taking both motions under submission pending additional discovery and briefing related to plaintiff Youssef and whether a new class d. The Court has also ordered that the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline, the representative should be substitutet expert discovery cut-off, the motion hearing cut-off, and all other case deadlines be stayed pending the court’s decision as to whether the case can proceed with a new class representative and whether defendants will be permitted to conduct additional soil vapor sampling in the ground subclass area. Trial was previously scheduled to commence on July 27, 2021. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. subclu a On September 18, 2018, in Michelle KeKK ndig and Jim Kendig,i l Oil Corporation, et xx et al. v. ExxonMobi ion and ExxonMobil al., PBF Energy Limited and Torrance Refining along with ExxonMobil Oil Corporat Pipeline Company were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Michelle Kendig, Jim Kendig and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleged failure to authorize and permit uninterrupted rest and meal periods, failure to furnish accurate wage statements, violation of the Private Unfair Business and Competition Law. Plaintiffs sought Attorneys General Act and violation of the California unspecified economic damages, statutory , disgorgement of profits, injunctive relief,ff declaratory relief, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims damages, civil penalties provided by statutet ff r t 59 accruedr prior to July 1, 2016, ExxonMobil has retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and logistics assets. On October 26, 2018, the matter was removed to the Federal Court, California Central District. A mediation hearing between the parties was held on August 23, 2019, and the parties reached a tentative agreement in principle to settle. On March 17, 2019, plaintiffs filed with the court a Notice of Motion and Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement Agreement for the Court’s approval of the proposed settlement pursuant to which Torrance Refining would pay $2.9 million to resolve the matter and receive a full release and discharge from any and all claims and make no admission of any wrongdoing or liability. On May 1, 2020 the court entered an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement. On August 6, 2020, the settlement of $2.9 million was paid to the class claims administrator. On August 17, 2020 the court granted approval of the final settlement. r e located at On September 7, 2018, in Jeprece Roussell,l et al. v. PBFBB Consultants,tt LLC,CC et al., the plaintiff fileff d an action in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, alleging numerous causes of action, including wrongful death, premises liabia lity, negligence, and gross negligence against PBF Holding, PBFX Operating Company LLC, Chalmette Refining, two individual employees of the Chalmette refinery (the “PBF Defendants”), two entities, PBF Consultants, LLC (“PBF Consultants”) and PBF Investments that are Louisiana companies that are not associated with our companies, as well as Clean Harbors, Inc. and Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. (collectively, “Clean Harbors”), Mr. Roussell’s employer. Mr. Roussell was fatally injured on March 31, 2018 while employed by Clean Harbors and performing clay removal work the Chalmette refinery. Plaintiff seeks unspecified activities inside a clay treating vessel compensatory damages for pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, impairment, past and future economic loss, attorney’s fees and court costs. On September 25, 2018, the PBF Defenff dants filed an answer in the state court action denying the allegations. On October 10, 2018, the PBF Defenff dants filed to remove the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On November 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a motion to remand the matter back to state court and the PBF Defenff dants filed a response on November 30, 2018. On April 15, 2019, the Federal Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation denying Plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On June 24, 2019, the Federal Judge adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation denying plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On September 18, 2020, the Federal Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend in order to add a non-diverse plaintiff and remand to state court. PBF Defendants filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion to amend on October 2, 2020. On October 5, 2020, the Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend and remanded the case back to state court. Discovery will continue in state court. We cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of the resolution of this matter. The PBF Defenff dants previously issued a tender of defense and indemnity to Clean Harbors and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement. Clean Harbors has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity, and Clean Harbors’ insurer has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity subject to a reservation of rights. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In Varga, Sabrina, et al., v. CRU Railcar Services, LLC,CC et al., we and other of our entities were named as defendants along with CRURR Railcar Services, LLC (“CRU”) in a lawsuit arising from a railcar explosion that occurred while CRU employees were cleaning a railcar owned by us. The initial lawsuit alleged that an employee of CRURR was fatally injured as a result of the explosion. On July 5, 2019, a petition for intervention was filed alleging that another CRURR employee was fatally injured in the same explosion. On October 7, 2019, a third CRURR employee joined the lawsuit alleging severe injuries from the incident. We have issued a tender of defense and indemnity to CRURR and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement which have not been accepted at this time. Discovery is currently ongoing and the trial date is currently set for April 12, 2021. We cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of the resolution of this matter. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 60 We are subjeu ct to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, we received notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. We have asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept our defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more environment, for damages to natural fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and we may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund. t t t ITEM 4.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANRR MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES T’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER Market Information PBF Energy Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PBF.” PBF Energy Class B common stock is not publicly-traded. As of February r 12, 2021 there were 144 holders of record of PBF Energy Class A common stock and 16 holders of record of PBF Energy Class B common stock. Dividend and Distribution Policy PBFBB Energy PBF Energy is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership interests of PBF LLC. In order for PBF Energy to pay any dividends, it needs to cause PBF LLC to make distributions to it and the holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, and PBF LLC needs to cause PBF Holding and/or PBFX to make distributions to it, in at least an amount sufficient to cover cash dividends, if any, declared by PBF Energy. Each of PBF Holding and PBFX is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of the limited liability company (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. As a result, PBF LLC may be unable to obtain cash from PBF Holding and/or PBFX to satisfy its obligations and make distributions to PBF Energy for dividends, if any, to PBF Energy’s stockholders. If PBF LLC makes such distributions to PBF Energy, the holders of PBF LLC Series A Units will also be entitled to receive pro rata distributions. The ability of PBF Holding to pay dividends and make distributions to PBF LLC is, and in the future may be, limited by covenants in its Revolving Credit Facility, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Notes and other debt instruments. Subject to certain exceptions, the Revolving Credit governing the senior notes prohibit PBF Holding from making distributions to PBF Facility and the indentures LLC if certain defaults exist. In addition, both the indentures and the Revolving Credit Facility contain additional restrictions limiting PBF Holding’s ability to make distributions to PBF LLC. t t While it is impossible to estimate the duration or ultimate financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, our results have been adversely impacted in a significant manner. As part of our strategic plan to navigate these current extraordinary and volatile markets, we have suspended PBF Energy’s quarterly dividend on its Class A common stock. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our dividend policy as market conditions develop and our business outlook becomes clearer, however, we do not anticipate that our Board of Directors will declare a dividend in the foreseeable future. t The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of PBF Energy’s 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). 62 PBF Logistics LP Due to the uncertainty of the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business, PBFX has decided to reduce their quarterly distribution to its minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit, which represents a shift in its distribution strategy to build cash flow coverage, de-lever the business and strengthen its financial resources as they continue to pursue potential organic growth projects or strategic acquisition opportunities. PBFX intends to continue to pay at least the minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of its common units, including PBF LLC, of at least $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, to the extent PBFX has sufficient cash from operations after the establia shment of cash reserves and the payment of costs and expenses, including reimbursements of expenses to PBFX’s general partner. However, there is no guarantee that PBFX will pay the minimum quarterly distribution or any amount on the units we own in any quarter. Even if PBFX’s cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions paid under the policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by its general partner, taking into consideration the terms of PBFX’s partnership agreement and debt facilities. PBF Holding made $23.1 million in distributions to PBF LLC during the year ended December 31, 2020. PBF LLC used $36.3 million, which included $19.5 million distributed from PBF Holding, to make one non-tax distribution of $0.30 per unit to its members, of which $35.9 million was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to PBF LLC’s other members. PBF Energy used this $35.9 million to pay an equivalent cash dividend of $0.30 per share of its Class A common stock on March 17, 2020. There were no tax distributions to PBF LLC’s other members in 2020. In addition, PBFX made aggregate quarterly distributions of $89.3 million ($1.42 per unit) during the year ended December 31, 2020 to holders of its common units, of which $42.5 million was paid to PBF LLC. PBF LLC expects to continue to make tax distributions to its members in accordance with its amended and restated limited liability company agreement. 63 Stock Performance Graph In accordance with Stt ECSS not be deemed to be “solic rules, the informat iting material,”l or to be “filed” with t tt “ l as provided under Item 201(e) of Regul ati 14A or 14C, oCC ther thantt e Graph below shall he SEC, oCC r subject to the SEC’s Regulati on S-K, or to the liabilities of So l ecSS tion 18 of the on ion contained in the Stock Performanc r ff e to the extee ent that we specificff ally rll equest that the informat ff Securities Exchange Act of 1o 934, as amended, excepte ion be treated as soliciting material or specifii cally incorporate it by rb 933, as amended. under the Securities Act of 1o eference into a document dd filed This performance graph and the related textual t information are based on historical data and are not indicative of futuret performance.

Executive Summary ff Our business operations are conducted by PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. We were formed in March 2008 to pursue the acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. We own and operate six domestic oil refineries and related assets located in Delaware City,t Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California, and Martinez, California. Based on current to the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration), our refineries have a combined configuration (subsequent ity, known as throughput, of approximately 1,000,000 bpd, and a weighted-average Nelson processing capac a Complexity Index of 13.2 based on current operating conditions. The complem xity and throughput capac ity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our six 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 operates certain logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities, which are aggregated into the Logistics segment. a Factors Affecting Comparability Our results over the past three years have been affected by the following events, the understanding of e and financial which will aid in assessing the comparability of our period to period financial performanc condition. ff II COVID-19 and Market Developme ll nts The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic was amplified late in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to movements made by the world’s largest oil producers to increase market share. This created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant demand reduction for our refined products and atypical volatility in oil commodity prices, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were impacted by the sustained decreased demand for refined products and the significant decline in the price of crude oil, both of which negatively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income and lowered our liquidity. Throughput rates across our refining system also decreased and we are currently operating our refineries at reduced d rates. Refer to “Item 1. Business - Recent Developments” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for further information. 68 East Coast Refining Reconfigur ff ation On December 31, 2020, we completed the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. As part of the processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, resulting in al and operating costs. Based on reconfiguration process, we idled certain of our majora lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capita this reconfiguration, our East Coast throughput capaa city is approximately 285,000 barrels per day. Turnaround Coststt and Assetstt under Construction As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, certain majora processing units were temporarily idled. As such, we accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround amortization costs associated with these idled units. Additionally, we abandoned certain projects related to assets under construction related to these idled assets, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $11.9 million. Capital Project Abandonments In connection with our ongoing strategic initiative to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including our East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, we reassessed our refinery wide slate of capita al projects that were either in process or not yet placed into service as of December 31, 2020. Based on this reassessment and our strategic plan to reduce capita al projects across the refining system, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $79.9 million. al expenditures, we decided to abandon various capita Severance Costs Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives to strengthen our financial flexibility and rationalize overhead expenses, including reductions in our workforce. During the second quarter of 2020, we reduced headcount across our refineries, which resulted in approximately $12.9 million of severance related costs. Additionally, as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, we incurred charges in the fourth quarter of 2020 of approximately $11.8 million of severance related expenses. These severance costs are included in general and administrative expenses. Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with PBF Energy’s initial public offering, PBF Energy entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement pursuant to which PBF Energy is required to pay the members of PBF LLC, who exchange their units for PBF Energy Class A common stock or whose units PBF Energy purchases, approximately 85% of the cash savings in income taxes that PBF Energy realizes as a result of the increase in the tax basis of its interest in PBF LLC, including tax benefits attributablea to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. There was no Tax Receivable Agreement liabia lity as of December 31, 2020. PBF Energy has recognized, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $373.5 million, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liabia lity may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. Refer to “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 21 - Income Taxes” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details. Early Return of Railcars In the fourth quarter of 2020 we agreed to voluntarily returnt a portion of railcars under an operating lease in order to rationalize certain components of our railcar fleet. Under the terms of the lease amendment, we agreed to pay amounts in lieu of satisfaction of returnt conditions (the “early termination penalty”). As a result, we recognized an expense of $12.5 million within Cost of sales, consisting of charges for the early termination penalty and charges related to the remaining lease payments associated with the railcars identifiedff within the amended lease, all of which were idled and out of service as of December 31, 2020. 69 In the third quarter of 2018 we agreed to voluntarily returnt a portion of railcars under an operating lease in order to rationalize certain components of our railcar fleet. Under the terms of the lease amendment, we agreed to pay the early termination penalty and a reduced rental fee over the remaining term of the lease. As a result, we recognized an expense of $52.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 included within Cost of sales consisting of (i) a $40.3 million charge for the early termination penalty and (ii) a $12.0 million charge related to the remaining lease payments associated with the railcars identifiedff within the amended lease, all of which were idled and out of service as of December 31, 2018. Torrance Land Sales On December 30, 2020, August 1, 2019 and August 7, 2018, we closed on third-party sales of parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The sales resulted in gains of approximately $8.1 million, $33.1 million and $43.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, third quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2018, respectively, included within Gain on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Sale of Hydrogen Plants On April 17, 2020, we closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (“Air Products”) in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement through which hydrogen, steam, carbon dioxide and other products (the “Products”) to the Air Products will exclusively supply Martinez, Torrance and Delaware Cityt refineries for a specified period (not expected to exceed 18 months). The transition services agreement also requires certain maintenance and operating activities to be provided by PBF Holding, for which we will be reimbursed, during the term of the agreement. In August 2020, the parties the Products for a term of executed long-term supply agreements pursuant to which Air Products will supply fifteen years at these same refineries. u u Debt and Credit Facilities Credit Ratings h iDuri gng hthe f downgrad dded our corporate familymily fourth quarter of 2020, ea hch of our credidit ra itingg gage ra itingg as wellll as our unsecuredd loutl kook as the refining ings, dand securedd notes ratings, sector continues to experience weak refining margins due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related negative demand impact.

The precious metals financing arrangements cover a portion of the catalyst used in our East Coast Refining System, Martinez and Toledo refineries. The volumes of the precious metal catalyst and the interest rates are fixed over the term of each financing arrangement. We are obligated to repurchase the precious metals catalyst at fair market value upon expiration of these leases, and the earliest expiration is September 2021. For all leases not renewed at maturity, we have the ability and intent to finance such debt through availability under our revolving credit facilities. 70 Senior Notes On May 13, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $982.9 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. On December 21, 2020, we issued $250.0 million, in a tack-on offering, in aggregate principal amount of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $245.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. On January 24, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $987.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used $517.5 million of the proceeds to fully redeem our 2023 Senior Notes and the balance to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition. On February 14, 2020, we exercised our rights under the indenturet governing the 2023 Senior Notes to redeem all of the outstanding 2023 Senior Notes at a price of 103.5% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The aggregate redemption price for all 2023 Senior Notes approximated $517.5 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. The difference between the carrying value of the 2023 Senior Notes on the date they were redeemed and the amount for which they were redeemed was $22.2 million and has been classified as Debt extinguishment costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ending December 31, 2020. ff Refer to “Note 10 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information. PBFBB Holding Revolving Credit Facilitytt During the year ended December 31, 2020, we used advances under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Martinez Acquisition and for other general corporate purposes. On May 2, 2018, PBF Holding and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced our existing asset-based revolving credit agreement dated as of August 15, 2014 (the “August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement”) with the Revolving Credit Facility. Among other things, the Revolving Credit Facility increases the maximum commitment available to PBF Holding from $2.6 billion to $3.4 billion, extends the maturity date to May 2023, and redefines certain components of the Borrowing Base, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, to make more funding available for working capita al and other general corporate purposes. In addition, an accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3.5 billion. The commitment fees on the unused portion, the interest rate on advances and the fees for letters of credit are consistent with the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement and further described in “Note 10 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 were $900.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PBFXBB Revolving Credit Facilitytt On July 30, 2018, PBFX entered into the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility amended and restated the May 2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the to PBFX from $360.0 million to $500.0 million and extend the maturity date maximum commitment availablea to July 2023. PBFX has the ability to increase the maximum amount of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million to a total facility size of $750.0 million, subject to receiving 71 increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The commitment fees on the unused portion, the interest rate on advances, and the fees for letters of credit are consistent with the May 2014 PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by a limited guaranty of collection from PBF LLC. During the year ended December 31, 2020, PBFX made net repayments of $83.0 million on the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. During 2019 and 2018, PBFX incurred net borrowings of $127.0 million and $126.3 million, respectively, primarily to fund acquisitions and capita al projects. The outstanding borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility were $200.0 million, $283.0 million and $156.0 million as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Martinez Acquisition We acquired the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets from Shell Oil Products on February 1, 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,253.4 million, including final working capita al of $216.1 million and the obligation to make certain post-closing earn-out payments to Shell Oil Products based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery for a period of up to four years (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”). The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Martinez refinery is located on an 860-acre site in the City of Martinez, 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, California. The refinery is a high-conversion 157,000 bpd, dual-coking facility with a Nelson Complexity Index of 16.1, making it one of the most complex refineries in the United States. The facility is strategically positioned in Northern California and provides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California. In addition to refining assets, the Martinez Acquisition includes a number of high-quality onsite logistics assets including a deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.8 million barrels of shell capac ity. a Inventory Intermediation Agreements The Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron were amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, pursuant to which certain terms of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was amended to add the East Coast Storage Assets as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the products sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019, the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022 and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among t J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. We intend to either extend or replace the Inventory Intermediation Agreements prior to their expirations. t Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery, and delivered into our J. Aron Storage Tanks. The J. Aron Products are sold back to us as they are discharged out of our J. Aron Storage Tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. At expiration or termination of each of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, we will have to repurchase the inventories outstanding under Inventory Intermediation Agreement at that time. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties. the applicablea 72 PBF Energy Inc.

These transactions are eliminated by PBF Energy and PBF LLC in consolidation. t Since the inception of PBFX in 2014, PBF LLC and PBFX have entered into a series of drop-down transactions. Such transactions and third-party acquisitions made by PBFX occurring in the three years ended December 31, 2020 are discussed below. 73 TVPC Acquisit ii ion On April 24, 2019, PBFX entered into the TVPC Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding for total consideration of $200.0 million. Prior to the TVPC Acquisition, TVP Holding owned a 50% membership interest in TVPC. Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, PBFX owns 100% of the membership interests in TVPC. The transaction was financed through a combination of proceeds from the 2019 Registered Direct Offeri ng and borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. ff PBFXBB IDR Restructuring On February 28, 2019, PBFX closed on the IDR Restructuring Agreement with PBF LLC and PBF GP, pursuant to which PBFX’s IDRs held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units. Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions by PBFX. East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition On October 1, 2018, PBFX closed on its agreement with Crown Point to purchase its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC (the “East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition”) for total consideration of al and the Contingent Consideration (as defined in “Note approximately $127.0 million, including working capita 4 - Acquisitions” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), comprised of an initial payment at closing of $75.0 million with a remaining balance of $32.0 million that was paid on October 1, 2019. The residuald purchase consideration consists of an earn-out provision related to an existing commercial agreement with a third-party, based on the future results of certain of the acquired idled assets (the “PBFX Contingent Consideration”). The consideration was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. Development Assets Acquisition On July 16, 2018, PBFX and PBF LLC entered into the Development Assets Contribution Agreements, pursuant to which PBFX acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Toledo Rail Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a loading and unloading rail facility located at PBF Holding’s Toledo refinery (the “Toledo Rail Products Facility”); Chalmette Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a truck loading rack facility (the “Chalmette Truckrr Rack”) and a rail yard facility (the “Chalmette Rosin Yard”), both of which are located at PBF Holding’s Chalmette refinery; Paulsboro Terminaling Company LLC, whose assets consist of a lube oil terminal facility located at PBF Holding’s Paulsboro refinery (the “Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal”); and DCR Storage and Loading Company LLC, whose refinery (the “Delaware assets consist of an ethanol storage facility located at PBF Holding’s Delaware Cityt Ethanol Storage Facility” and collectively with the Toledo Rail Products Facility, the Chalmette Truckrr Rack, the Chalmette Rosin Yard, and the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal, the “Development Assets”). The acquisition of the Development Assets closed on July 31, 2018 for total consideration of $31.6 million consisting of 1,494,134 common units representing limited partner interests in PBFX, issued to PBF LLC. Knoxville Terminal Acquisiti ii on On April 16, 2018, PBFX completed the purchase of two refined product terminals located in Knoxville, Tennessee, which include product tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company and Plantation Pipe Line Company pipeline systems and truck loading facilities (the “Knoxville Terminals”) from Cummins Terminals, Inc. for total cash consideration of $58.0 million, excluding working capita al adjustments. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. 74 Renewable Fuels Standard We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. We record our RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when our RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. We incurred approximately $326.4 million in RINs costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $122.7 million and $143.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fluctuations in RINs costs are due primarily to volatility in prices for ethanol- linked RINs and increases in our production of on-road transportation fuels since 2012. Our RINs purchase obligation is dependent on our actual shipment of on-road transportation fuels domestically and the amount of blending achieved. Factors Affecting Operating Results Overview Our earnings and cash flows from operations are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks. The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price of refined petroleum products ultimately sold depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum products, which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in global and regional economies, weather conditions, global and regional political affairs, production levels, the availabila ity of imports, the marketing of ity, prevailing exchange rates and the extent of government regulation. Our competitive fuels, pipeline capac revenue and income from operations fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined petroleum product prices, our materials cost fluctuate significantly with movements in crude oil prices and our other operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of energy to meet the power needs of our refineries. In addition, the effect of changes in crude oil prices on our operating results is influenced by how the prices of refined products adjust to reflect such changes. a Crude oil and other feedstock costs and the prices of refined petroleum products have historically been subject to wide fluctuation. Expansion and upgrading of existing facilities and installation of additional refinery distillation or conversion capac international political and economic developments and other factors beyond our control are likely to continue to play an important role in refining industry economics. These factors can impact, among other things, the level of inventories in the market, resulting in price volatility and a reduction or increase in product margins. Moreover, the industry typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand for refined petroleum products, such as for gasoline and diesel, during the summer driving season and for home heating oil during the winter. ity, price volatility, governmental regulations, a Benchmark Refie niii ngii Margins In assessing our operating performance, we compare the refining margins (revenue less materials cost) of each of our refineries against a specific benchmark industry refining margin based on crack spreads. Benchmark refining margins take into account both crude and refined petroleum product prices. When these prices are l—that, when multiplied by combined in a formula they provide a single value—a gross margin per barrer throughput, provides an approximation of the gross margin generated by refining activities. The performance of our East Coast refinerie s generally follows the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Toledo refinery generally follows the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. generally follows the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Torrance Our Chalmette refinery refinery generally follows the Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”AA ) (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Martinez refinery generally follows the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 benchmark refining margin. ff ff 75 While the benchmark refinery margins presented below under “Results of Operations—Market Indicators” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors affecting the perfoff rmance of the relevant type of crude oil refinery to its corresponding benchmark. These factors include the refinery’s actual throughput, product yield differenti als and any other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margins, such as transportation costs, storage costs, credit fees, fuel consumed during production and any product premiums or discounts, as well as inventory fluctuations, timing of crude oil and other feedstock purchases, a rising or declining crude and product pricing environment and commodity price management activities. As discussed in more detail below, each of our refineries, depending on market conditions, has certain feedstock- cost and product-value advantages and disadvantages as compared to the refinery’s relevant benchmark. ff Creditdd Riskii Manageme a nt Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in amount of the receivables that are financial loss to us. Our exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize credit risk, all customers are subjeu ct to extensive credit verification procedures and extensions of credit above defined thresholds are to be approved by the senior management. Our intention is to trade only with recognized creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. We also limit the risk of bad debts by obtaining security such as guarantees or letters of credit. rr We continually monitor our market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses which have introduced significant volatility in the financial markets. Other Factorsrr We currently source our crude oil for our refineries on a global basis through a combination of market purchases and short-term purchase contracts, and through our crude oil supply agreements. We believe purchases based on market pricing has given us flexibility in obtaining crude oil at lower prices and on a more accurate “as needed” basis. Since our East Coast refineries access their crude slates from the Delaware River via ship or barge and through our rail facilities at Delaware City, these refinff eries have the flexibility to purchase crude oils from the Mid-Continent and Western Canada, as well as a number of different countries. We have not sourced crude oil under our crude supply arrangement with PDVSA since 2017 as PDVSA has suspended deliveries due to our inabila payment terms and because of U.S. government ly acceptablea sanctions against PDVSA. ity to agree to mutual u t In the past several years, we expanded and upgraded the existing on-site railroad infrastructuret on the east coast. Currently, crude oil delivered by rail is consumed at our East Coast refineries. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, and the East Coast Storage Assets, allow our East Coast refineries to source WTI-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe, at times, may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crude oils. In support of this rail strategy, we have at ly times entered into agreements to lease or purchase crude railcars. Certain of these railcars were subsequent sold to a third-party, which has leased the railcars back to us for periods of between four and seven years. In subsequent periods, we have sold or returned railcars to optimize our railcar portfolio. Our railcar fleet, at times, provides transportation flexibility within our crude oil sourcing strategy that allows our East Coast refineries to process cost advantaged crude from Canada and the Mid-Continent. u rr t is also important to our profitability. Major operating costs include costs Our operating cost structuret relating to employees and contract labor, energy, maintenance and environmental compliance, and emission a control regulations, including the cost of RINs required for compliance with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The predominant variablea cost is energy, in particular, the price of utilities, natural gas and electricity. 76 Our operating results are also affected by the reliability of our refinery operations. Unplanned downtime of our refinery assets generally results in lost margin opportunity and increased maintenance expense. The financial impact of planned downtime, such as majoa r turnaround maintenance, is managed through a planning ity of resources to perform the process that considers such things as the margin environment, the availabila needed maintenance and feed logistics, whereas unplanned downtime does not afford us this opportunity. Furthermore, during 2020 our operating results were negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products, both of which have negatively impacted our revenues, cost of sales and operating income. ii Refie nery -Specifici Information The following section includes refinery-specific information related to our operations, crude oil differentials, ancillary costs, and local premiums and discounts. ll East Coast Refine ing System (Delaware City and Paulsboro Refie neries). The benchmark refining margin for the East Coast Refining System is calculated by assuming that two barrels of Dated Brent crude oil are converted into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. We calculate this benchmark using the NYH market value of reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (“RBOB”) and ULSD against the market value of Dated Brent and refer to the benchmark as the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. The East Coast Refining System has a product slate of approximately 47% gasoline, 32% distillate, 2% high-value Group I lubricants, 2% high-value petrochemicals, with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (3% petroleum coke, 4% LPGs, 7% black oil and 3% other). For this reason, we believe the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majoa rity of East Coast refining revenues are generated off NYH-based market prices. The East Coast Refining System’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis is projected to differ from the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors: d the system processes a slate of primarily medium and heavy sour crude oils, which has constitutet • approximately 60% to 70% of total throughput. The remaining throughput consists of sweet crude oil and other feedstocks and blendstocks. In addition, we have the capabi lity to process a significant volume of light, sweet crude oil depending on market conditions. Our total throughput costs have historically priced at a discount to Dated Brent; and a • as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at our East Coast Refining system, we produce lower value products including sulfur, carbon dioxide and petroleum coke. These products are priced at a significant discount to RBOB and ULSD. • the Paulsboro refinery produces Group I lubricants which carry a premium sales price to RBOB and ULSD and the black oil is sold as asphalt which may be sold at a premium or discount to Dated Brent based on the market. Toledo Refie nery. The benchmark refining margin for the Toledo refinery is calculated by assuming that four barrels of WTI crude oil are converted into three barrels of gasoline, one-half barrel of ULSD and one-half barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this refining margin using the Chicago market values of CBOB and ULSD and the United States Gulf Coast value of jet fuel against the market value of WTI and refer to this benchmark as the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Toledo refinery has a product slate of approximately 53% gasoline, 30% distillate, 4% high-value petrochemicals (including nonene, tetramer, benzene, xylene and toluene) with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (4% LPGs, 8% black oil and 1% other). For this reason, we believe the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majoa rity of Toledo revenues are generated off Chicago-based market prices. 77 The Toledo refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed ff from the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors: the Toledo refinery processes a slate of domestic sweet and Canadian synthetic crude oil. Historically, • Toledo’s blended average crude r costs have differed from the market value of WTI crude r oil; the Toledo refinery configuration enablea • generates a pricing benefit; and s it to produce more barrels of product than throughput which the Toledo refinery generates a pricing benefit on some of its refined products, primarily its • petrochemicals. Chalmell tte Refie nery. The benchmark refining margin for the Chalmette refinery is calculated by assuming two barrels of LLS crude oil are converted into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. We calculate this benchmark using the US Gulf Coast market value of 87 conventional gasoline and ULSD against the market value of LLS and refer to this benchmark as the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Chalmette refinery has a product slate of approximately 42% gasoline and 32% distillate, 2% high-value petrochemicals with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (9% black oil, 5% LPGs, 4% petroleum coke, 3% LPGs, and 3% other). For this reason, we believe the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majoa rity of Chalmette revenues are generated off Gulf Coast-based market prices. The Chalmette refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors: the Chalmette refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily medium and heavy sour crude oils, throughput. The remaining d approximately 65% to 75% of total • which has historically constitutet throughput consists of sweet crude oil and other feedstocks and blendstocks; and • as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Chalmette, we produce lower-value products including sulfur and petroleum coke. These products are priced at a significant discount to 87 conventional gasoline and ULSD. The PRL (pre-treater, reformer, light ends) project was completed in 2017 which has increased high- octane, ultra-low sulfur reformate and chemicals production. The new crude oil tank was also commissioned in 2017 and is allowing additional gasoline and diesel exports, reduced RINs compliance costs and lower crude ship demurrage costs. Additionally, the idled 12,000 barrel per day coker unit was restarted in the fourth quarter of 2019 to the potential benefit in the price for heavy and a ity to approximately 40,000 increase the refinery’s long-term feedstock flexibility to capture high-sulfur feedstocks. The unit has increased the refinery’s total coking capac barrels per day. a Torrance Refie nery. The benchmark refining margin for the Torrance refinery is calculated by assuming that four barrels of ANS crude oil are converted into three barrels of gasoline, one-half barrel of diesel and one- half barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this benchmark using the West Coast Los Angeles market value of Californi a reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (“CARBOB”), CARB diesel and jet fuel and refer to ff the benchmark as the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Torrance refinery has a product slate of approximately 64% gasoline and 19% distillate with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (3% LPG, 3% black oil and 11% other). For this reason, we believe the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majoa rity of Torrance revenues are generated off West Coast Los Angeles-based market prices. 78 The Torrance refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed ff from the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors: the Torrance refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily heavy sour crude oils, which has • historically constituted approximately 80% to 90% of total throughput. The Torrance crude slate has the lowest API gravity (typically an American Petroleum Institute (“API”) gravity of less than 20 degrees) of all of our refineries. The remaining throughput consists of other feedstocks and blendstocks; and as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Torrance, we produce lower-value products • including petroleum coke and sulfur. These products are priced at a significant discount to gasoline and diesel. Martinez Refine ery. The benchmark refining margin for the Martinez refinff eryrr is calculated by assuming that three barrels of ANS crude oil are converted into two barrels of gasoline, one-quarter barrel of diesel and three-quarter barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this benchmark using the West Coast San Francisco market value of California reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (CARBOB), CARB diesel and jet fuel and refer to the benchmark as the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Martinez refinery has a product slate of approximately 56% gasoline and 34% distillate with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (4% petroleum coke, 3% LPG and 3% other). For this reason, we believe the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majoa rity of Martinez revenues are generated off West Coast San Francisco-based market prices. The Martinez refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors: the Martinez refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily heavy sour crude oils, which has • historically constituted approximately 80% to 90% of total throughput. The remaining throughput consists of other feedstocks and blendstocks; and as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Martinez, we produce lower-value products • including petroleum coke and sulfur. These products are priced at a significant discount to gasoline and CARB diesel. 79 Results of Operations The tablea s below reflecff t our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in millions, except per share data). Differences between the results of operations of PBF Energy and PBF LLC primarily pertain to income taxes, interest expense and noncontrolling interest as shown below. Earnings per share information applies only to the financial results of PBF Energy. 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 MLP that operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX’s operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. We do not separately discuss our results by individual segments as, apart from PBFX’s third-party acquisitions, our Logistics segment did not have any significant third-party revenues and a significant portion of its operating results eliminated in consolidation. 80 PBF Energy Revenues Cost and expenses: Cost of products and other Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 $ 15,115.9 $ 24,508.2 $ 27,186.1 14,275.6 21,387.5 24,503.4 Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense as reflected below) Depreciation and amortization expense Cost of sales General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense as reflected below) Depreciation and amortization expense Change in fair value of contingent consideration Impairment expense Gain on sale of assets Total cost and expenses Income (loss) from operations Other income (expense): Interest expense, net Change in Tax Receivablea Agreement liability Change in fair value of catalyst obligations Debt extinguishment costs Other non-service components of net periodic benefit cost Income (loss) before income taxes Income tax expense Net income (loss) Less: net income attributablea interests to noncontrolling Net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy Inc. stockholders Consolidated gross margin Gross refining margin (1) Net income available to Class A common stock per share: Basic Diluted —————————— (1) See Non-GAAP Financial Measures. $ $ $ $ $ 81 1,918.3 551.7 16,745.6 248.5 11.3 (93.7) 98.8 (477.8) 16,532.7 (1,416.8) (258.2) 373.5 (11.8) (22.2) 4.3 (1,331.2) 2.1 (1,333.3) 59.1 (1,392.4) $ (1,629.7) $ 1,782.3 425.3 23,595.1 284.0 10.8 (0.8) — (29.9) 23,859.2 649.0 (159.6) — (9.7) — (0.2) 479.5 104.3 375.2 55.8 319.4 913.1 496.8 $ 2,801.2 (11.64) $ (11.64) $ 2.66 2.64 $ $ $ $ $ 1,721.0 359.1 26,583.5 277.0 10.6 — — (43.1) 26,828.0 358.1 (169.9) 13.9 5.6 — 1.1 208.8 33.5 175.3 47.0 128.3 602.6 2,419.4 1.11 1.10 PBF LLC Revenues Cost and expenses: Cost of products and other Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense as reflected below) Depreciation and amortization expense Cost of sales General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense as reflected below) Depreciation and amortization expense Change in fair value of contingent consideration Impairment expense Gain on sale of assets Total cost and expenses Income (loss) from operations Other income (expense): Interest expense, net Change in fair value of catalyst obligations Debt extinguishment costs Other non-service components of net periodic benefit cost Income (loss) before income taxes Income tax expense (benefit) Net income (loss) Less: net income attributablea interests to noncontrolling Net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy Company LLC Year Ended December 31, 2019 2020 2018 $ 15,115.9 $ 24,508.2 $ 27,186.1 14,275.6 21,387.5 24,503.4 1,918.3 551.7 16,745.6 247.7 11.3 (93.7) 98.8 (477.8) 16,531.9 (1,416.0) (268.5) (11.8) (22.2) 4.3 (1,714.2) 6.1 (1,720.3) 76.2 1,782.3 425.3 23,595.1 282.3 10.8 (0.8) — (29.9) 23,857.5 650.7 (169.1) (9.7) — (0.2) 471.7 (8.3) 480.0 51.5 $ (1,796.5) $ 428.5 $ 1,721.0 359.1 26,583.5 275.2 10.6 — — (43.1) 26,826.2 359.9 (178.5) 5.6 — 1.1 188.1 8.0 180.1 42.3 137.8 82 Operating Highlights Key Operating Information Production (bpd in thousands) Crude oil and feedstocks throughput (bpd in thousands) Total crude oil and feedstocks throughput (millions of barrels) Consolidated gross margin per barrel of throughput Gross refining margin, excluding special items, per barrel of throughput (1) Refinery operating expense, per barrel of throughput Crude and feedstocks (% of total throughput) (2) Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 737.1 727.7 266.3 (6.12) 3.23 6.89 $ $ $ 825.2 823.1 300.4 3.04 8.51 5.61 $ $ $ $ $ $ 854.5 849.7 310.0 1.94 9.09 5.34 Heavy Medium Light Other feeff dstocks and blends Total throughput Yield (% of total throughput) Gasoline and gasoline blendstocks Distillates and distillate blendstocks Lubes Chemicals Other Total yield —————————— (1) See Non-GAAP Financial Measures. 42 % 26 % 17 % 15 % 32 % 28 % 26 % 14 % 36 % 30 % 21 % 13 % 100 % 100 % 100 % 51 % 30 % 1 % 1 % 18 % 101 % 49 % 32 % 1 % 2 % 16 % 100 % 50 % 32 % 1 % 2 % 16 % 101 % (2) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with an API gravity of less than 24 degrees.

Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $268.0 million, or $196.7 million net of tax, pre-tax, debt extinguishment costs associated with the early redemption of the 2023 Senior Notes of $22.2 million, or $16.3 million net of tax, severance costs related to reductions in workforce of $24.7 million, or $18.1 million net of tax, impairment expense of $98.8 million or $72.5 million net of tax, related to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments, early returnt of certain leased railcars of $12.5 million or $9.2 million net of tax, accelerated turnaround amortization costs of $56.2 million or $41.3 million net of tax, a LIFO inventory decrement of $83.0 million or $60.9 million net of tax, reconfiguration charges of $5.3 million or $3.9 million net of tax and $259.1 million of tax expense associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million, or $188.0 million net of tax and a pre-tax gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $33.1 million, or $24.9 million net of tax. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded due to movements in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products, both of which have negatively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020 we als and overall lower throughput volumes and experienced unfavorablea barrels sold across our refineries, as well as lower refinff ing margins. All our operating regions experienced lower refining margins for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by higher general and administrative expenses associated with integration costs associated with the Martinez Acquisition and increased depreciation and amortization expense associated with the Martinez Acquisition and accelerated amortization costs associated with the East Coast Refinff movements in certain crude differenti ing Reconfiguration. ff Revenues— Revenues totaled $15.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $24.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $9.4 billion or 38.4%. Revenues per barrel sold were $49.43 and $69.93 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 29.3% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 263,000 bpd, 96,700 bpd, 137,700 bpd and 230,300 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 336,400 bpd, 153,000 bpd, 177,900 bpd and 155,800 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 296,200 bpd, 114,500 bpd, 159,700 bpd and 265,200 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 382,500 bpd, 163,900 bpd, 225,300 bpd and 188,600 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our refineries were lower in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Our Martinez refinery was not acquired until the first quarter of 2020 and is therefore not included in the prior period West Coast throughput. We operated our refineries at reduced d rates beginning in March 2020, and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until such time that sustained product demand justifies higher production. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory, as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries. 85 Consolidated Gross Margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $(1,629.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $913.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $2,542.8 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $496.8 million, or $1.86 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,801.2 million, or $9.34 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $2,304.4 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $860.3 million, or $3.23 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,551.0 million, or $8.51 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,690.7 million. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were negatively impacted in the current year by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $268.0 million on a net basis, resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2019, a LIFO inventory decrement charge of $83.0 million mainly related to our East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction to our East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, and early returnt of certain leased railcars of $12.5 million. Gross refining margin, excluding the impact of special items, decreased due to unfavorablea movements in certain crude differenti als and an overall decrease in throughput rates. For the year non-cash LCM ended December 31, 2019, special items impacting our margin calculations included a favorablea inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million on a net basis, resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended December 31, 2018. ff Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Total Renewable Fuel Standard costs were $326.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 in comparison to $122.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Average industry margins were mixed during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the prior year, primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on regional demand and commodity prices in 2020, in addition to impacts related to 2019 planned turnarounds, all of which were completed in the first half of the prior year. On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $9.11 per barrel, or 28.2% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $12.68 per barrel in the same period in 2019. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by weakened Dated Brent/Maya al, which decreased by $1.39 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2019. Additionally, WTI/WCS differential decreased to $10.72 per barrel in 2020 compared to $13.61 per barrel impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude. The WTI/Bakken differentials increased by $1.75 per barrel when comparem in 2019, which unfavorablya d to 2019. differenti ff tt Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $6.30 per barrel, or 58.7% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $15.25 per barrel in the prior year. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by an increasing WTI/Bakken differential, which averaged $2.41 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $0.66 per barrel in the prior year. Additionally, the WTI/Syncrude differenti al averaged $2.13 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $0.18 per barrel in the prior year. ff On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $7.59 per barrel, or 38.9% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $12.43 per barrel in the prior year. Margins on the al, Gulf Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/LLS differenti which averaged a premium of $1.88 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a premium of $5.64 per barrel in the prior year. ff 86 On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $11.30 per barrel, or 38.8% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $18.46 per barrel in the prior year. Additionally, margins on the West Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/ ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a premium of $7.97 per barrel in the prior year. Favorablea movements in these benchmark crude different positively impact our earnings, while reductions in these benchmark crude differenti crude costs and negatively impact our earnings. ials typically result in lower crude costs and als typically result in higher ff ff x Operating Expens es— Operating expenses totaled $1,918.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,782.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $136.0 million, or 7.6%. Of the total $1,918.3 million of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, $1,835.2 million, or $6.89 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $83.1 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($1,684.3 million or $5.61 per barrel of throughput, and $98.0 million of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Refining and Logistics segments, respectively). Increases in operating expenses were due to costs associated with the Martinez refinery and related logistic assets which totaled approximately $356.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 excluding our Martinez refinery, decreased due to our cost reduction initiatives taken to strengthen our financial flexibility and offset the negative impact of COVID-19, such as significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services. Operating expenses related to our Logistics segment decreased as a result of lower discretionary spending, including maintenance and outside service costs, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower environmental clean-up remediation costs and lower utility expenses due to reduced energy usage. ii x ive Expenses General and Administrat — General and administrative expenses totaled $248.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $284.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $35.5 million or 12.5%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily relates to reduction in our workforce as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration and reduction in overhead expenses through temporary salary reductions to a large portion of our workforce. These costs decreases were offset by headcount reduction severance costs across the refineries as well as integration costs pertaining to the Martinez Acquisition. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities and other infrastructuret costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets. Gain on Sale of Assets— There was a gain of $477.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 related primarily to the sale of five hydrogen plants and the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery. There was a gain on sale of assets of $29.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily attributablea to the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery. x Depreciation and Amortization Expense — Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $563.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 (including $551.7 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $436.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (including $425.3 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $126.9 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Martinez Acquisition and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capita al projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, amortization expense recorded in 2020 includes $56.2 million of accelerated unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with assets that were idled as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consider ation— Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a gain of $93.7 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. This change represents the decrease in the estimated fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration and the PBFX Contingent Consideration (as defined in “Note 4 - Acquisitions” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), both associated with acquisition related earn-out obligations. CC 87 Change in Fair Value of Catalystyy Obligations— Change in fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. These losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metal catalysts, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the catalyst financing arrangement termination dates. Impairment expense x — Impairment expense totaled $98.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and was associated with the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, other refinery wide project abandonments and the write-down of certain PBFX long-lived assets. There was no such expense recorded in the prior year. Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liabilitytt —yy Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liabia lity for the year ended December 31, 2020, represented a gain of $373.5 million. This gain was primarily the result of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, related to the reduction of deferred tax assets associated with the payments made or expected to be made in connection with the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and based on future taxabla e income. There was no change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the year ended December 31, 2019. Debt Extinguishment Costs— Debt extinguishment costs of $22.2 million incurred in the year ended December 31, 2020 relate to the early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes. There were no such costs in the same period of 2019. Interest Expex nse, net— PBF Energy interest expense totaled $258.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $159.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $98.6 million. This net increase is mainly attributablea to higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes in January 2020, the issuance of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes in May 2020 and December 2020, as well as higher outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metal catalysts, financing costs associated with the 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. PBF LLC interest expense totaled $268.5 million and $169.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively (inclusive of $10.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense on the affiliate note payabla e with PBF Energy that eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level). x u Income Tax Expens e— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to ries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy income tax. However, two subsidia Limited (“PBF Ltd.”), are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicablea . 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 PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the income or loss, on their respective tax returns. 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 allocablea share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.1% and 99.0%, on a weighted-average basis for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. PBF Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre- tax income or loss attributablea 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, the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 0.2% and 21.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was significantly impacted by the recording of a $358.4 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance. including the impact of noncontrolling interests, for t 88 t Noncontroll including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, ing Interest— PBF Energy is 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 the Company records a subsidiaries, 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 unitholders 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 Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributablea to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third- party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributablea to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the years ended December 31, 2020 and amount of the noncontrolling interest on 2019 was approximately 0.9% and 1.0%, respectively. The carrying our Consolidated Balance Sheets attributablea 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. rr 2019 Compared to 2018 Overview— PBF Energy net income was $375.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to net income of $175.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. PBF LLC net income was $480.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to net income of $180.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net income attributablea to PBF Energy stockholders was $319.4 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019 ($2.64 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $0.90 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) compared to net income attributablea to PBF Energy stockholders of $128.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018 ($1.10 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully- diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $3.26 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 attributablea to PBF Energy stockholders 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 99.0% and 98.3% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million, or $188.0 million net of tax, and a pre-tax gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $33.1 million, or $24.9 million net of tax. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2018 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non- cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $351.3 million, or $260.0 million net of tax, and the of certain leased railcars, resulting in a pre-tax charge of $52.3 million, or $38.7 million net of tax. early returnt impacts were partially offset by special items related to a pre-tax benefit associated with the These unfavorablea change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability of $13.9 million, or $10.3 million net of tax, and a pre-tax gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $43.8 million, or $32.4 million net of tax. 89 ff Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were negatively impacted by unfavorablea movements in crude differenti als and overall lower throughput volumes and barrels sold across our refineries, partially offset by higher crack spreads realized at our West Coast refinery. Refining margins for the current year compared to the prior year were weaker at our East Coast, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries, offset by significantly stronger margins realized on the West Coast. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were also negatively impacted by increased operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expense associated with our continued investment in our refining assets and the effect of significant turnaround and maintenance activity during 2019. Revenues— Revenues totaled $24.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $27.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $2.7 billion, or 9.9%. Revenues per barrel sold were $69.93 and $77.08 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of 9.3% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 336,400 bpd, 153,000 bpd, 177,900 bpd and 155,800 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 344,700 bpd, 149,600 bpd, 185,600 bpd and 169,800 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our East Coast and West Coast refineries were lower in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to planned downtime associated with turnarounds of the coker and associated units at our Delaware City and Torrance refineries and the crude unit at our Paulsboro refinery, all of refinery in the which were completed in the first half of 2019, and unplanned downtime at our Delaware Cityt first quarter of 2019. Throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery were higher in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 due to a planned turnaround at our Toledo refinery in the first half of 2018. Throughput rates at our Gulf Coast refinery were lower in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to unplanned downtime in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 382,500 bpd, 163,900 bpd, 225,300 bpd and 188,600 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 372,700 bpd, 161,800 bpd, 233,700 bpd and 198,100 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 refineries. Consolidated Gross Margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $913.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $602.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $310.5 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $2,801.2 million, or $9.34 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2,419.4 million, or $7.79 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of approximately $381.8 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $2,551.0 million, or $8.51 per barrel of throughput for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2,823.0 million or $9.09 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $272.0 million. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted in the year ended December 31, 2019 by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million on a net basis, resulting from the increase in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2018. Gross refining margin excluding the impact of special items decreased due to unfavorablea movements in certain crude differentials and refining margins and reduced throughput rates at the majority of our refineries, partially offset by higher throughput rates in the Mid-Continent and stronger crack spreads on the West Coast. For the year ended December 31, 2018, special items impacting our margin calculations included a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $351.3 million on a net basis, resulting from a decrease in crude oil and refined product prices and a $52.3 million charge resulting from costs associated with the early returnt of certain leased railcars. 90 Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, although at a reduced level from the prior year. Total Renewable Fuel Standard costs were $122.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with $143.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Average industry margins were mixed during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the prior year, primarily as a result of varying regional product inventory levels and seasonal and unplanned refining compared with downtime issues impacting product margins.

Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by a decreasing WTI/ Bakken differential, which averaged approximately $0.66 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $2.86 per barrel in the prior year. Additionally, the WTI/Syncrude differenti al averaged $0.18 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $6.84 per barrel in the same period of 2018. ff In the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $12.43 per barrel, or 1.1% higher, in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $12.30 per barrel in the prior year. Margins in the Gulf Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/LLS differenti al, which averaged a premium of $5.64 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a premium of $5.03 per barrel experienced in the prior year. ff On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.46 per barrel, or 19.3% higher, in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $15.48 per barrel in the same period in 2018.

Of the total $1,782.3 million of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, $1,684.3 million, or $5.61 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $98.0 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($1,654.8 million or $5.34 per barrel of throughput, and $66.2 million of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 related to the Refining and Logistics segments respectively). Increases in operating expenses were mainly attributed to higher outside service costs related to turna round and maintenance activity. Operating expenses related to our Logistics segment increased when compared to 2018 due to expenses related to the operations of PBFX’s recently acquired assets and higher environmental clean-up remediation costs and product contamination remediation costs. t 91 x ative Expens General and Administrii es— General and administrative expenses totaled $284.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $277.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $7.0 million or 2.5%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily related to higher outside services, including legal settlement charges, and transaction costs related to the Martinez Acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets. personnel, facilities and other infrastructuret Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets was $29.9 million and $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, mainly attributed to the sale of two separate parcels of land at our Torrance refinery. x Depreciation and Amortization Expense — Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $436.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (including $425.3 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $369.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 (including $359.1 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $66.4 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with a al projects and turnarounds completed during 2019 and general increase in our fixed asset base due to capita 2018, as well as accelerated amortization related to the Delaware City and Torrance refinery turnarounds, which were completed in the first half of 2019. Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liabilitytt —yy There was no change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the year ended December 31, 2019. Change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the year ended December 31, 2018 represented a gain of $13.9 million. Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Obligations— Change in the fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a gain of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. These gains and losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metal catalysts, which we are obligated to returnt or repurchase at fair market value on the catalyst financing arrangement termination dates. ll Interest Expex nse, net— PBF Energy interest expense totaled $159.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $169.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $10.3 million. This net decrease is mainly attributablea to lower outstanding revolver borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metal catalysts, financing costs associated with the 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. PBF LLC interest expense totaled $169.1 million and $178.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (inclusive of $9.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense on the affiliate note payabla e with PBF Energy that eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level). x u Income Tax Expens e— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to ries of Chalmette Refining and PBF Ltd. are treated as C-Corporations for income tax.

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 99.0% and 98.3%, on a weighted-average basis for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PBF Energy’s Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributablea 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 t 92 pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 21.8% and 16.0%, respectively, reflecting tax adjustments for discrete items and the impact of tax return to income tax provision adjustments. including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, Noncontrolling Interest— PBF Energy is 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 the Company records a subsidiaries, 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 unitholders 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 Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributablea to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third- party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the to the economic Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributablea interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the years ended December 31, 2019 and amount of the noncontrolling interest on 2018 was approximately 1.0% and 1.7%, respectively. The carrying our Consolidated Balance Sheets attributablea 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. rr 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 e prepared measures should not be considered a substitutet in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparablea to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

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 effecff t associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units. Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy’s IPO, PBF Energy was 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 its earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that PBF Energy had adopted its post-IPO corporate tax structuret for all periods presented and is taxed as a C-corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumptim on 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 PBF Energy’s earnings that are subject to corporate income tax. 94 The folff lowing table reconciles PBF Energy’s Adjusted Fully-Converted results with its results presented in accordance with GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (in millions, except share and per share amounts): Net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy Inc. stockholders Less: Income allocated to participating securities Income (loss) available to PBF Energy Inc. stockholders - basic Add: Net income (loss) attributablea interests(1) Less: Income tax benefit (expense) (2) to noncontrolling Adjusted fulff ly-converted net income (loss) d ment Special Items:(3) Add: Non-cash LCM inventory adjust Add: Change in fair value of contingent consideration Add: Gain on sale of hydrogen plants Add: Gain on Torrance land sales Add: Impairment expense Add: LIFO inventory decrement Add: Turnaround acceleration costs Add: Severance and reconfiguration costs Add: Early railcar return expense Add: Debt extinguishment costs Add: Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability Add: Net tax expense on remeasurement of deferred tax assets Less: Recomputed income tax on special items Adjusted fulff special items ly-converted net income (loss) excluding Weighted-average shares outstanding of PBF Energy Inc.

We believe both gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items are important measures of operating performance and provide usefulff information to investors because they are helpful metric comparisons 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 (revenues less cost of products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the tablea below.

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, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items 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 our senior notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to income from operations or net income as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items 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 stock- based compensation expense, the non-cash change in the fair value of catalyst obligations, gain on sale of hydrogen plants, the write down of inventory to the LCM, changes in the liabia lity related to the Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of PBF Energy’s control such as changes in tax rates, debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities, change in the fair value of contingent consideration and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitutet for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjuste d EBITDA: d •do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, expenditures or contractual commitments; t t or future requirements, for capita al •do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capita al needs; •do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; •do not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow; •do not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and •exclude income taxes that may represent a reduction in availablea cash. 97 The folff lowing tables reconcile net income (loss) as reflected in PBF Energy’s results of operations to EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA excluding special items: Net income (loss) $ (1,333.3) $ 375.2 $ Add: Depreciation and amortization expense Add: Interest expense, net Add: Income tax expense EBITDA Special Items: (3) Add: Non-cash LCM inventory adjust Add: Change in fair value of contingent consideration d ment Add: Gain on sale of hydrogen plants Add: Gain on Torrance land sales Add: Impairment expense Add: LIFO inventory decrement Add: Severance and reconfiguration costs Add: Early railcar return expense Add: Debt extinguishment costs 563.0 258.2 2.1 436.1 159.6 104.3 $ (510.0) $ 1,075.2 $ 268.0 (93.7) (471.1) (8.1) 98.8 83.0 30.0 12.5 22.2 (250.2) — — (33.1) — — — — — — 175.3 369.7 169.9 33.5 748.4 351.3 — — (43.8) — — — 52.3 — (13.9) Add: Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability (373.5) EBITDA excluding special items Reconciliation of EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA $ $ (941.9) $ 791.9 $ 1,094.3 (510.0) $ 1,075.2 $ 748.4 Add: Stock based compensation Add: Change in fair value of catalyst obligations d ment (3) Add: Non-cash LCM inventory adjust Add: Change in fair value of contingent consideration (3) Add: Gain on sale of hydrogen plants (3) Add: Gain on Torrance land sales (3) Add: Impairment expense (3) Add: LIFO inventory decrement (3) Add: Severance and reconfiguration costs (3) Add: Early railcar return expense (3) Add: Debt extinguishment costs (3) Add: Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability (3) 34.2 11.8 268.0 (93.7) (471.1) (8.1) 98.8 83.0 30.0 12.5 22.2 (373.5) 37.3 9.7 (250.2) — — 26.0 (5.6) 351.3 — — (33.1) (43.8) — — — — — — — — — 52.3 — (13.9) Adjusted EBITDA $ (895.9) $ 838.9 $ 1,114.7 —————————— See Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures. 98 Notestt to Non-GAAP Financ ii ial Measures The following notes are applicablea to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures above: (1) (2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. corporate tax rate of Represents an adjustment approximately 26.6%, 24.9% and 26.0% for the 2020, 2019 and 2018 periods, respectively, applied to the net income (loss) attributablea to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above. to reflect PBF Energy’s annualized statutory t (3) Special items: LCM iCC nventory ar djustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates 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 using the 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 realizablea 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 an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment’s income fromff operations, but are excluded from the operating results presented, as applicablea , in order to make such information comparable between periods.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration during the year ended December 31, 2019 was not significant. There were no such changes in fair value of contingent consideration during the year ended December 31, 2018. 99 Gain on sale of hydrogen plantstt - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on the sale of five hydrogen plants. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $471.1 million and $345.8 million, respectively. There were no such gains in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Gain on Torrance land sales - During the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we recorded gains on the sale of three separate parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The gain on sale increased income from operations and net income by $8.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2020. The gain on sale increased income from operations and net income by $33.1 million and $24.9 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2019. The gain on sale increased income from operations and net income by $43.8 million and $32.4 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2018. x Impairment expense - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge which decreased income from operations and net income by $98.8 million and $72.5 million, respectively, resulting from the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, project abandonments and the write-down of certain PBFX long-lived assets. There were no such charges during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. LIFO inventory decrement - As part of our overall reduction in throughput in 2020 and our reduction in inventory volume as of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge to cost of products and other related to a LIFO inventory layer decrement. The majoa rity of the decrement related to our East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction to our East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $83.0 million and $60.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Decrements recorded in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were not significant. Turnaround acceleration costs - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we accelerated the recognition of turnaround amortization associated with units that were temporarily idled as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration.

The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect to changes in PBF Energy’s obligation under the Tax Receivable charges or benefits attributablea Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptim ons consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. ff x Net taxaa expense on remeasurement of deferre d tax assets - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $358.4 million in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. This amount includes tax expense of approximately $99.3 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability or a net tax expense of $259.1 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. There was no such expense in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. ff Recomputed income tax on special items - The income tax impact on special items, other than the net tax expense special item discussed below, is calculated using the tax rates shown in (2) above. (4) (5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above. Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 14,446,894, 6,765,526 and 1,293,242 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive. 101 Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview Typically our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as described below; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses, our business and results of operations are being negatively impacted. The demand destruction as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown and governmental responses, including travel restrictions, and stay-at-home orders, has resulted in a significant decrease in the demand for and market prices of our products. In addition, the global geopolitical and macroeconomic events that took place during the first quarter of 2020 further contributed to the overall volatility in crude oil and refined product prices, contributing to an adverse impact on our liquidity. We ng to the challenging operating environment and evaluating our continue to be focused on assessing and adaptia strategic measures to preserve liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet.

Additiii onal Informff ation on Indebtedness Our debt, including our revolving credit facilities, term loans and senior notes, include certain typical financial covenants and restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee new debt, engage in certain business activities including transactions with affiliates and asset sales, make investments or distributions, engage in mergers or pay dividends in certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. We are in compliance as of December 31, 2020 with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements. For further discussion of our indebtedness and these covenants and restrictions, see “Note 10 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Liquidity The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets began negatively impacting our liquidity beginning towards the end of the firff st quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2020, our liquidity was approximately $2.3 billion ($2.3 billion as of December 31, 2019) based on $1.6 billion of cash, excluding cash held at PBFX, and more than $700.0 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our total liquidity includes the amount of excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, which includes our cash on hand. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, PBFX had ity under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility compared with approximately $295.1 million of borrowing capac a $340.0 million as of December 31, 2019. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is availablea to fund working al expenditures, and other general corporate purposes incurred by capita PBFX. al, acquisitions, distributions, capita Due to the unprecedented events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative impact it has caused to our liquidity, we executed a plan to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our flexibility and responsiveness by incorporating the following measurements: • • • Implemented cost reduction and cash preservation initiatives, including a significant decrease in 2020 capita al expenditures, lowering 2020 operating expenses driven by minimizing discretionary activities and third party services, headcount reductions, and cutting corporate overhead expenses through temporary salary reductions to a significant portion of our workforce; Suspended our quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, anticipated to preserve approximately $35.0 million of cash each quarter, to support the balance sheet; Closed on the sale of five hydrogen facilities forff 2020; gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million on April 17, 106 • • • • • In May and December 2020, issued, respectively, $1.0 billion and $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Senior Secured Notes for net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million and $245.7 million, respectively. See “Note 10 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the notes offerings; Entered into catalyst financing arrangements on September 25, 2020 for net proceeds of approximately $51.9 million; As of December 31, 2020 completed the operational reconfiguration of our East Coast Refining System comprised of our Delaware Cityt and Paulsboro refineries. The reconfiguration resulted in the temporary idling of certain Paulsboro Refining units and overall lower throughput and inventory levels. Annual operating and capita al expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels; On December 30, 2020, closed on a third-party sale of parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself, for net proceeds of $13.7 million; and In the fourth quarter of 2020, sold AB32 credits to a third party for gross proceeds of approximately $87.5 million and concurrently entered into forward purchase agreements to repurchase these credits in the fourth quarter of 2021 prior to settlement of our AB32 obligation. We are actively responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing rebalancing in the global oil markets. We adjusted our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and took steps to lower our 2020 operating expenses through significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services. We successfully reduced our 2020 operating expenses by $235.0 million, excluding energy savings, and exceeded our full-year goal of $140.0 million in total operating expense reductions. Including energy expenses, our full-year operating expenses reductions for 2020 totaled approximately $325.0 million. While some of these savings are a result of reduced operational tempo, the majoa rity are deliberate operating and other expense reductions. Looking ahead, we expect operating expenses on a system-wide basis for 2021 to be reduced by $200.0 million to $225.0 million annually as a result of our efforts versus 2019 levels, including the East Coast Reconfiguration. We aggressively managed our capita al expenditures in 2020, with total refining capita al expenditures of $370.4 million, an almost 50% reduction to our planned 2020 expenditures. ff t to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capita While it is impossible to estimate the duration or complete financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, al we believe that the strategic actions we have taken, plus our cash flows from operations and available capita resources will be sufficien al needs, and debt service requirements, for the next twelve months. We cannot assure you that our assumptim ons used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on us and our industry is ongoing and unprecedented. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where we operate, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. As a result, we may require additional capita al, and, from time to time, may pursue funding strategies in the capia tal markets or through private transactions to strengthen our liquidity and/or fund strategic initiatives. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. al expenditures, working capita 107 l addi iti addi iti dand, ifif lonal i d b ludi gng ddi ymay iincur ddi yany d bdebt iincurrence Although we were iin co appliic blable, lilien iincurrence lili indebt dedness iin hthe future, iincl di We hthe sa itisfa iction of fifina inci gng gagreements.

As a result of the downgrade, the cost of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility has increased in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement. Given the current market conditions, we expect that our other credit ratings agencies may also re-evaluate our corporate credit rating and the ratings of our unsecured and secured notes. Further adverse actions taken by the rating agencies on our corporate credit rating or the rating of our notes may further increase our cost of borrowings or hinder our ability to raise financing in the capia tal markets, which could impair our ability to operate our business, increase our liquidity and make futuret cash distributions to our shareholders. Working Capital PBF Energy’s working capita al at December 31, 2020 was approximately $1,415.9 million, consisting of $3,867.4 million in total current assets and $2,451.5 million in total current liabia lities. PBF Energy’s working al at December 31, 2019 was $1,314.5 million, consisting of $3,823.7 million in total current assets and capita $2,509.2 million in total current al at December 31, 2020 was liabia lities. PBF LLC’s working capita approximately $1,374.1 million, consisting of $3,865.2 million in total current assets and $2,491.1 million in total current liabia lities. PBF LLC’s working capita al at December 31, 2019 was $1,281.7 million, consisting of $3,821.5 million in total current assets and $2,539.8 million in total current liabilities. Working capita al has increased during the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of proceeds from financing activities, partially offset by operating losses. Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements Certain of our purchases of crude oil under our agreements with foreign national oil companies require that we post letters of credit, if open terms are exceeded, and arrange for shipment. We pay for the crude when invoiced, at which time any applicable letters of credit are lifted. We have a contract with Saudi Aramco pursuant to which we have been purchasing up to approximately 100,000 bpd of crude oil from Saudi Aramco that is processed at our Paulsboro refinery. In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery 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. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since 2017 when PDVSA suspended deliveries due to the parties’ inability to agree to mutual payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA. Notwithstanding the suspension, the recent U.S. government sanctions imposed against PDVSA and Venezuela would prevent us from purchasing crude oil under this agreement. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Torrance refinery, 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. We currently purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs independently from a variety of suppliers on the spot market or through term agreements for our Delaware City and Toledo refineries. ly acceptablea t 108 We have entered into various five-year crude supply agreements with Shell Oil Products for approximately 145,000 bpd, in the aggregate, to support our West Coast and Mid-Continent refinery operations. In addition, we have entered into certain offtake agreements for our West Coast system with the same counterparty for clean products with varying terms up to 15 years. Inventory Intermediation Agreements We entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, to support the operations of the Delaware Cityt and Paulsboro refineries. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR expires on June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC expires on December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022. If not extended or replaced, at expiration, we will be required to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements at that time. We intend to either extend or replace the Inventory Intermediation Agreements prior to their expirations. t t At December 31, 2020, the LIFO value of the J. Aron Products included within Inventory in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $266.5 million. We accrue a corresponding liability for such crude oil, intermediates and finished products. Capital Spending Capia tal spending, excluding $1,176.2 million attributed to the Martinez Acquisition, was $393.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily included costs for the construction of the Delaware City related enhancements and facility refinery hydrogen plant, turnaround costs at our Toledo refinery, safetyt al expenditures related to PBFX. Due improvements at our refineries, and approximately $12.3 million of capita to current challenging market conditions, we have taken strategic steps to increase our flexibility and responsiveness, one of which is the reduction of capita al expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $370.4 million, an almost 50% reduction to our planned 2020 We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $400.0 million to $475.0 million in t expenditures. al expenditures during 2021, excluding PBFX, for facility improvements, refinery maintenance net refining capita and turnarounds with the intention of satisfying all required safety,t al commitments. In addition, PBFX expects to spend an aggregate of approximately $10.0 million to $20.0 million in net capia tal expenditures during 2021. environmental and regulatory capita al expenditures. Total refining capita On February 1, 2020 we acquired the Martinez refinery and related logistic assets. The purchase price for the Martinez Acquisition was $960.0 million in cash, plus final working capita al of $216.1 million and $77.3 million related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. 109 Contractual Obligations and Commitments The following tablea summarizes our material contractual payment obligations as of December 31, 2020 below does not include any contractual obligations with PBFX as these related party (in millions).

As described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted new guidance on leases effective January 1, 2019 which brought substantially all leases with initial terms of over twelve months outstanding as of the implementation date onto our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are considered short-term and we elected the practical expedient in the new lease guidance to exclude these leases from our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Some of our leases provide us with the option to renew the lease at or before expiration of the lease terms. Future lease obligations would change if we chose to exercise renewal options or if we enter into additional operating or finance lease agreements. Certain of our lease obligations contain a fixed and variable component. The tabla e above reflects the fixed component of our lease obligations, including short-term lease expense. The variabla e a component could be significant. In addition, we have entered into certain agreements for the supply of hydrogen that contain both lease and non-lease components. The tabla e above also includes such non-lease components of these agreements. See “Note 15 - Leases” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and disclosures regarding our operating and finance lease obligations. a We also enter into contractual obligations with third parties for the right to use property for locating pipelines and accessing certain of our assets (also referred to as land easements) in the normal course of business. Our obligations regarding such land easements are included within Leases and other rental-related commitments in the tablea above. (c) Purchase obligati i ons We have obligations to repurchase the J. Aron Products under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron as further explained in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, “Note 6 - Inventories” and “Note 9 - Accrued Expenses” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, purchase obligations under “Crude and Feedstock Supply and Inventory Intermediation Agreements” include commitments to purchase crude oil from certain counterparties under supply agreements entered into to ensure adequate supplies of crude oil for our refineries. These obligations are based on aggregate minimum volume commitments at 2020 year end market prices. t Payments under “Other Supply and Capacity Agreements” include contracts for the transportation of crude gas to certain of our refineries, contracts for the treatment of oil and supply of hydrogen, steam, or natural wastewater, and contracts for pipeline capac ity. We enter into these contracts to facilitate crude oil deliveries and to ensure an adequate supply of energy or essential services to support our refinery operations. Substantially all of these obligations are based on fixed prices. Certain agreements include fixed or minimum volume requirements, while others are based on our actual usage. The amounts included in this tablea are based on fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased and the fixed or estimated costs based on market conditions as of December 31, 2020. a Payments under “AB32 Settlement Obligations” include future obligations to repurchase AB32 credits ities related to these previously sold to third parties and will be used to settle our AB32 liability. Liabila obligations are included in “Accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020. See “Note 9 - Accrued Expenses” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details. The amounts included in this tablea exclude our crude supply agreement with PDVSA. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since the third quarter of 2017 as PDVSA has suspended deliveries due to the parties inabila payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA. ity to agree to mutuall y acceptablea t 111 (d) Environmii entaltt tt obligat ions ll In connection with certain of our refinery and logistics acquisitions, we have assumed certain environmental remediation obligations to address matters that were outstanding at the time of such acquisitions. In addition, in connection with most of these acquisitions, we have purchased environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental reflect our undiscounted best estimate in cost and tenure to remediate our outstanding obligations and are further discussed in “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. liabilities at each site. The obligations in the tabla e above a (e) Pension and post-retireme ii i nt obligati ons Pension and post-retirement obligations include only those amounts we expect to pay out in benefit payments and are further explained in “Note 19 - Employee Benefit Plans” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. (f) Contingen tt t Consideration Contingent consideration includes our obligations to pay certain contractual earn-outs entered into as part of acquisitions. As of December 31, 2020 we do not expect to achieve any earn-out obligations related to the Martinez acquisition. Our earn-out obligation related to the East Coast Storage Assets acquisition and our amount payablea in 2021 with no future estimated earn-out obligations for years thereafter. to Crown Point relates to our year one earn-out obligation payablea (g) Affiliat ett Note Payable ll As described in “Note 11 - Affiliate Note Payable - PBF LLC” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial with PBF Energy for an Statements, as of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC had an outstanding note payablea aggregate principal amount of $376.3 million. The note has an interest rate of 2.5% and matures in April 2030, but may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of PBF LLC without penalty or premium. This affiliate note payable is a cash obligation of PBF LLC only and eliminates in consolidation for PBF Energy. (h) Tax Receivablell Agreement obligat iontt ll The tablea above does not include an amount associated with our Tax Receivable Agreement obligation as our liability was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2020 in conjunction with our recording of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Refer to “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 21 - Income Taxes” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreement. 112 Tax Distributions 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 assumptim ons. Generally, these tax distributions will be an amount equal to our estimate of the taxabla e income of PBF LLC for the year 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 up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, assumed tax rate, PBF LLC will make a “truer cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. As these distributions are equal to such difference, subject to the availablea conditional they have been excluded from the tabla e above. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020, other than outstanding letters of credit of approximately $189.3 million. Critical Accounting Policies The following summary provides further information about our critical accounting policies that involve critical accounting estimates and should be read in conjunction with “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following accounting policies involve estimates that are considered critical due to the level of subjectivity and judgment involved, as well as the impact on our financial position and results of operations. We believe that all of our estimates are reasonable. Unless otherwise noted, estimates of the sensitivity to earnings that would result from changes in the assumptim ons used in determining our estimates is not practicablea due to the number of assumptim ons and contingencies involved, and the wide range of possible outcomes. Inventory Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products is determined under the LIFO method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average cost during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, market values had fallen below historical LIFO inventory costs and, as a result, we recorded an LCM or market inventory valuation reserves of $669.6 million and $401.6 million, respectively. The LCM or market inventory valuation reserve, or a portion thereof, is subject to reversal as a reduction to cost of products sold in subsequent periods as inventories giving rise to the reserve are sold, and a new reserve is established. Such a reduction to cost of products sold could be significant if inventory values returnt to historical cost price levels. Additionally, further decreases in overall inventory values could result in additional charges to cost of products sold should the LCM or market inventory valuation reserve be increased. 113 Environmental Mattersrr Liabilities for future clean-up costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-up efforts of are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as our own internal environmental policies. The actual settlement of our liability for environmental matters could materially differ from our estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties. While we believe that our current estimates of the amounts and timing of the costs related to the remediation of these liabilities are reasonable, we have had limited experience with certain of these environmental obligations due to our short operating history with certain of our assets. It is possible that our estimates of the costs and duration of the environmental remediation activities related to these liabilities could materially change. t Business Combinations We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations 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. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptim ons about the future, considering the perspective of marketplat ce participants. While management believes those they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or expectations and assumptim ons are reasonable, macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Certain of our acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, we record contingent consideration, as applicablea , at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs. Such contingent consideration liabilities are based on best estimates of future expected payment obligations, which are subject to change due to many factors outside of our control. Changes to the estimate of expected future contingent consideration payments may occur, from time to time, due to various reasons, including actual results differing from estimates and adjustments to the revenue or earnings assumptim ons used as the basis for the liability based on historical experience. While we believe that our current estimate of the fair value of our contingent consideration liability is reasonable, it is possible that the actual future settlement of our earn-out obligations could materially differ. ff Deferred Turnaround Coststt Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned majora maintenance activities at our refineries, are capa italized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated until the next turnaround occurs (generally three to six years). While we believe that the estimates of time until the next turnaround are reasonable, it should be noted that factors such as competition, regulation or environmental matters could cause us to change our estimates thus impacting amortization expense in the future. 114 Derivative Instruments We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process, as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative. Non-derivative contracts are recorded at the time of delivery. All derivative instruments that are not designated as normal purchases or sales are recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized in income. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchases and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. We elect fair value hedge accounting for certain derivatives associated with our inventory repurchase obligations. Derivative accounting is complex and requires management in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives; determination of the fair value of derivatives; identification of hedge relationships; assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness; and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effecff t, can have a significant impact on earnings. judgment Impairment of Long-Lived Assets amount of the asset may not be recoverablea Long-lived assets are tested for recoverabila rr ity whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that if its carrying the 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 recoverablea , an impairment loss is recognized for 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. . A long-lived asset is not recoverablea rr The global crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the significant decrease in PBF Energy’s stock price in 2020, enduring throughput reductions across our refineries and noticeable decrease in demand for our products, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an impairment assessment on certain long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that our long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life. If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that our assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings. Refer to “Note 1 - Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. rr 115 Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement As a result of PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock, it expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions reflecting the step up in tax basis in the acquired assets. Those deductions will be allocated to PBF Energy and will be taken into account in reporting its taxable income. As a result of a federal income tax election made by PBF LLC, applicable to a portion of PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units, the income tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC, underlying a portion of the units PBF Energy acquired, has been adjusted based upon the amount that PBF Energy paid for that portion of its PBF LLC Series A Units. PBF Energy entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements) which provides for the payment by PBF Energy equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that it is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax to payments benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributablea under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of these transactions, PBF Energy’s tax basis in its share of PBF LLC’s assets will be higher than the book basis of these same assets. This resulted in a deferred tax asset of $155.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Deferred taxes are calculated using a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences represent the differences between reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. We recognize tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of management’s assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxabla e income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of $358.4 million was recorded to recognize only the portion of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be , however, could be adjusted if estimates of realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizablea future taxabla e income are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for future taxabla e income. As a result of the valuation allowance, the liabia lity associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced d to zero. ff Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement PBF Energy entered into at the time of its initial public offering, it is required to pay the current and former PBF LLC Series A unitholders, who exchange their units for PBF Energy stock or whose units we purchase, approximately 85% of the cash savings in income taxes that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of the increase in the tax basis of its interest in PBF LLC, including tax benefitff s attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations are of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries. PBF Energy has recognized a liability for the Tax g its estimate of the undiscounted amounts that it expects to pay under the Receivable Agreement reflectin agreement. PBF Energy’s estimate of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability is based, in part, on forecasts of future taxaba le income over the anticipated life of PBF Energy’s future business operations, assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law. The assumptions used in the forecasts are subject to substantial uncertainty about PBF Energy’s future business operations and the actual payments that it is required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement could diffeff r materially from its current estimates. PBF Energy must adjust the estimated Tax Receivablea Agreement liability each time we purchase PBF LLC Series A Units or upon an exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock. Such adjustments will be based on forecasts of future taxabla e income and PBF Energy’s future business operations at the time of such purchases or exchanges. Periodically, PBF Energy may adjust the liabia lity based on an updated estimate of the amounts that it expects to pay, using assumptim ons consistent with those used in its concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. These periodic adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, if any, are ff 116 recorded in general and administrative expense and may result in adjustments to our income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary between the prices we sell our refined products and the nts to manage the risks from market a commodity price risk is associated with the difference prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instrume changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural opportunities. gas, interest rates, or to capture r ff t Commodityii Price Riskii 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 availabila ity 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. t t 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. t The negative impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with uncertainty around future output levels of the world’s largest oil producers has increased unpredictability in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant reduction in demand for our refined products and abnormal volatility in oil commodity prices, which may continue for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 10.0 million barrels and 11.3 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net loss of $3.0 million and unrealized net gain of $0.2 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of December 31, 2020 expire at various times during 2021. We carryrr inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 28.2 million barrels and 30.2 million barrels at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $78.64 and $79.63 per barrel on a LIFO basis at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, excluding the net impact of LCM inventory adjustments of approximately $669.6 million and $401.6 million, respectively. 117 If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market. Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural conditions, we annually consume a total of between 75 million and 97 million MMBTUs of natural our six refineries as of December 31, 2020. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural would increase or decrease our natural t gas costs by approximately $75.0 million to $97.0 million. gas and gas prices. Assuming normal operating gas amongst gas prices t t t t i Complim ance Program Price Riskii We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which includes 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 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 or other environmental credits when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable. In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas and other emissions. 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, AB32 in California requires the state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Compliance with such emission standards may require the purchase of emission credits or similar instruments. Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments qualify as derivative instrume nts. We generally elect the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for such instruments, and therefore do not record these contracts at their fair value. r tt Interes t Rate Risk The maximum commitment under our Revolving Credit Facility is $3.4 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicablea Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $24.9 million annually. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, with a maximum commitment of $500.0 million, bears interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicablea Margin, all as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $4.0 million annually. We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Inventory Intermediation Agreements under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR. Creditdd Riskii We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We sh credit continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establia limits in accordance with our credit policy. 118 Concentratt tion Risk For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or ately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no single more of our revenues (approxim customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues. a As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable (approximately 16%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivablea as of December 31, 2019. ITEM 8.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ll Disclosure Controlsll and Procedures PBF Energy and PBF LLC conducted separate evaluations under the supervision and with the participation of each company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon these evaluations as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in each case, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Management’s Report ee on Intertt nal rr Control over Financ ii ee ial Reporti ngii - PBF Energyr PBF Energy’s management is responsible for establia shing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. PBF Energy’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the financial statements forff United States of America. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. On February 1, 2020, we completed the Martinez Acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we were in the process of integrating Martinez 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K excludes any evaluation of ing. Martinez Refining accounts for the internal controls over financial reporting of the Martinez Refinff approximately 7% of our total assets and approximately 13% of our total revenues as of the year ended December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021 we completed the integration of Martinez Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. 119 Management assessed the effectiveness of PBF Energy’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on such assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, PBF Energy’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Management’s Report ee tt on Internal tt Control over Financial Reportingii - PBF LLC PBF LLC’s management is responsible for establia shing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. PBF LLC’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements forff external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. On February 1, 2020, we completed the Martinez Acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we were in the ing’s operations, including internal controls over financial reporting process of integrating the Martinez Refinff 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K excludes any evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Martinez Refinff ing. During the first quarter of 2021 we completed the integration of Martinez Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. Martinez Refining accounts for approximately 7% of our total assets and approximately 13% of our total revenues as of the year ended December 31, 2020. Management assessed the effectiveness of PBF LLC’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on such assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Auditdd ortt Attestat iontt tt Report ee Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of PBF Energy’s internal control over financial reporting, which is on page F-4 of this report. Changes in Internal tt Control tt Over Financ ii ial Reportingii On February 1, 2020, we completed the Martinez Acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we were in the process of integrating the Martinez Refinff ing's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. There has been no other change in PBF Energy’s or PBF LLC’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affecff ted, or is reasonably likely to materially affect PBF Energy’s or PBF LLC’s internal control over financial reporting.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonablea detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial of statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effeff ct on the financial statements. t Because of its inherent internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. limitations, /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Parsippany, New Jersey February 18, 2021 F- 9 PBF ENERGY INC.

F- 22 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 7, 2011 and 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 (refer to “Note 17 - Noncontrolling Interests”). PBF Energy holds a 99.2% economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2020 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.8% economic interest in PBF LLC. The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. 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 Investments LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“PRC”), Delaware City Refinff ing Company LLC (“DCR”), Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), PBF Energy Western Region LLC, Torrance Refining Company LLC, Torrance Logistics Company LLC and Martinez Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Discussions or areas of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that either apply only to PBF Energy or PBF LLC are clearly noted in such footnotes. As of December 31, 2020, PBF LLC also held a 48.0% limited partner interest in PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a publicly-traded master limited partnership (“MLP”) (refer to “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP”). 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 unitholders other than PBF LLC (refer to “Note 17 - Noncontrolling Interests”). Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding, PBF GP and PBFX are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires. 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 MLP that was formed to operate logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. The Logistics segment consists solely of PBFX’s operations. 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 variablea costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors that are largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The resulting potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flows. ff F- 23 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Public Offeff rings In connection with certain of the secondary offerings completed in 2015, 2014 and 2013, investment funds associated with the initial investors in PBF LLC exchanged all of their PBF LLC Series A Units for an equal number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock which were subsequently sold to the public and, accordingly, 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, had the right to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by the investment funds associated with the initial investors in PBF LLC. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from any of the secondary offerings. Since the secondary offerings, PBF Energy has completed a series of follow-on equity offerings. Such transactions occurring in the three years ended December 31, 2020 are discussed in “Note 17 - Noncontrolling Interests”. As a result of these equity offerings and certain other transactions such as stock option exercises, as of December 31, 2020, PBF Energy owned 120,122,872 PBF LLC Series C Units and the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially owned 970,647 PBF LLC Series A Units. As of December 31, 2020, the holders of PBF Energy’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 99.2% 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 0.8% of the voting power in the Company. Tax Receivable Agreement PBF LLC intends to have an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for each taxable year in which an exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC at the time of an exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units. As a result of both the initial purchase of PBF LLC Series A Units from the PBF LLC Series A unitholders in connection with the initial public offering of PBF Energy Class A common stock which closed on December 18, 2012 and subsequent exchanges, PBF Energy will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC. In addition, the purchase of PBF LLC Series A Units and subsequent exchanges have resulted in and are expected to continue to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC that otherwise would not have been availablea . Both this proportionate share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that PBF Energy would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capita al assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capita al assets. COVID-19 and Market Developments The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related adverse impact on economic and commercial activity has resulted in a significant reduction in demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. This significant demand reduction has had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity position for the year ended December 31, 2020. In response, the Company has reduced throughput rates across its entire refining system and is currently operating all refineries at reduced rates. It is impossible to estimate the duration or significance of the financial impact that will result from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where the Company operates, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation and Presentation These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PBF Energy and subsidiaries in which PBF Energy has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cost Classifications Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs. maintenance and Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. a Reclassification As of December 31, 2020, Financing lease right of use assets, previously included in Deferred charges and other assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are reflected within Lease right of use assets, which is inclusive of both operating and financing lease right of use assets. Financing lease liabilities, previously included in Other long-term liabia lities, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are presented as separate line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts related to such balance sheet accounts have also been reclassified in their respective footnotes for prior periods to conform to the 2020 presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptim ons that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment Assessment The global crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the sustained decrease in PBF Energy’s stock price, enduring throughput reductions across the Company’s refineries and continued decrease in demand for the Company’s products, the Company determined an impairment triggering event had occurred as of December 31, 2020. As such, the Company performed an impairment assessment on its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life. rr F- 25 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 7 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”), it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $91.8 million associated to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments. Refer to “Note 7 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net” for further details. As discussed further in “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP” and “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies”, PBFX recognized an impairment charge of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2020 as a result of a third party contract termination which led to the write-down of certain processing unit assets and a customer contract intangible asset that were directly tied to the contract. If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that the Company’s assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings. Business Combinations We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations 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. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptim ons about the future, considering the perspective of marketplat ce participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptim ons are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Certain of the Company’s acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, the Company records contingent consideration, as applicablea , at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity rr of those instruments. Concentrations of Credit Risk For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues. As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable (approximately 16%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the as of December 31, 2019. Company’s total trade accounts receivablea F- 26 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Revenue, Deferred ff Revenue and Accounts Receivable Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company sells various refined products primarily through its refinery subsidiaries and recognizes revenue related to the sale of products when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 20 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606. During 2019, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the existing inventory intermediation agreements (as amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was amended to add the East Coast Storage Assets (as defined in “Note 3 - PBF Logistics LP”) as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the J. Aron Products (as defined in “Note 6 - Inventories”) sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and consent of the parties PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual to December 31, 2022 and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. t t Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery and delivered into the J. Aron Storage Tanks (as defined in “Note 6 - Inventories”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to the Company as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of the J. Aron Storage Tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily market prices related to those J. Aron Products. These transactions are considered to be made in contemplation of each other and, accordingly, do not result in the recognition of a sale when title passes from the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in J. Aron Storage Tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties. shed, if Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is establia required, their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020 and 2019. to report such amounts at Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis. Inventory Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method. F- 27 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Leases Effeff ctive January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $250.0 million. The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery facilities and equipment, railcars and other operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to logistics assets primarily under non-cancelablea twentyt years, subject to certain renewal options as applicablea . The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the rr Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate. For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately.

AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned majora maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapsea until the next turnaround occurs. The amortization period generally ranges from 3 to 6 years; however, based upon the specific facts and circumstances, different periods of deferral occur. As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 7 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net), certain majora processing units were temporarily idled. As such, the Company accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with these idled units. Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets. Deferred financing costs are capita years). alized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits, permits and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years).

If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value. . Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying rr Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptim ons about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptim ons. Although management utilizes assumptim ons that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long- lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liabia lity when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liabia lity can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset when sufficient information is availablea sites when it retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinff eryrr permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of . these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinablea F- 29 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Environmental Matters Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are of probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabia lities are fixed or reliablya . The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties. determinablea t Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by the Company to certain employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method recognized in the over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures period they occur. t Additionally, stock-based compensation includes unit-based compensation provided to certain officers, non- employee directors and seconded employees of PBFX’s general partner, PBF GP, or its affiliates, consisting of PBFX phantom units. The fair value of PBFX’s phantom units are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying common units on the date of grant based on the common unit closing price on the grant date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Awards vest over a four year service period.

AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Income Taxes As a result of the PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for PBF Energy Class A common stock, PBF Energy expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions reflecting the step up in tax basis in the acquired assets. Those deductions will be allocated to PBF Energy and will be taken into account in reporting PBF Energy’s taxable income. As a result of a federal income tax election made by PBF LLC, applicable to a portion of PBF Energy’s acquisition of PBF LLC Series A Units, the income tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC, underlying a portion of the units PBF Energy acquired, has been adjusted based upon the amount that PBF Energy paid for that portion of its PBF LLC Series A Units. PBF Energy entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies”) which provides for the payment by PBF Energy 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 and (ii) certain other tax to payments benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributablea under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of these transactions, PBF Energy’s tax basis in its share of PBF LLC’s assets will be higher than the book basis of these same assets. This resulted in a deferred tax asset of $155.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Deferred taxes are calculated using a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences represent the differences between reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. PBF Energy recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of management’s assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxabla e income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of $358.4 million was recorded to recognize only the portion of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to , however, could be adjusted if estimates be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizablea of future taxabla e income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for future taxabla e income. As a result of the valuation allowance, the liabia lity associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced to zero. rr The Federal tax returns for all years since 2017 and state tax returns Income Taxes”) are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities. t for all years since 2015 (see “Note 21 - Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock outstanding during the period.

AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefiff ts of its The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded statust ities or pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabila assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. Fair Value Measurement A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situat ions where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. t The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the availablea inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliablea evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is ff based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instrume nts that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the Consolidated r Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. t The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst obligations and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments. Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative. All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities. F- 32 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributablea to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities. Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair nts are recognized currently in cost of sales. value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instrume ff r Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.

AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES Credit Losses The Company has exposure to credit losses primarily through its sales of refined products. The Company evaluates creditworthiness on an individual customer basis. The Company utilizes a financial review model for purposes of evaluating creditworthiness which is based on information from financial statements and credit s the Company to assess the customer’s risk profile and determine reports. The financial review model enablea credit limits on the basis of their financial strength, including but not limited to, their liquidity, leverage, debt serviceabila ity, longevity and how they pay their bills. The Company may require security in the form of letters of credit or cash payments in advance of product delivery for certain customers that are deemed higher risk. a The Company’s payment terms on its trade receivables are relatively short, generally 30 days or less for a substantial majori ty of its refined products. As a result, the Company’s collection risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact that sales are collected in a relatively short period of time, allowing for the ability to reduce exposure on defaults if collection issues are identified. Notwithstanding, the Company reviews each customer’s on credit risk profile at least annually or more frequently if warranted. Following the widespread market disrupti that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the Company has been performing ongoing credit reviews of its customers including monitoring for any negative credit events such as customer bankruptcy or insolvency events. As a result, the Company has adjusted payment terms or limited available trade credit for certain customers, as well as for customers within industries that are deemed to be at higher risk. r The Company performs a quarterly allowance for doubtful accounts analysis to assess whether an allowance needs to be recorded for any outstanding trade receivables. In estimating credit losses, management reviews accounts that are past due, have known disputes or have experienced any negative credit events that may result in future collectabila ity issues. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. F- 41 PBF ENERGY INC.

The fixed and determinable amounts related to obligations under these agreements are as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total obligations Employment Agreements (in millions) 43.6 16.8 16.8 12.5 12.5 42.9 145.1 $ $ The Company has entered into various employment agreements with members of executive management and certain other key personnel that include automatic annual renewals, unless canceled. Under some of the agreements, certain of the executives would receive a lump sum payment of between 1.50 to 2.99 times their base salary and continuation of certain employee benefits forff the same period upon termination by the Company “Without Cause”, or by the employee “For Good Reason”, or upon a “Change in Control”, as defined in the agreements. Upon death or disability, certain of the Company’s executives, or their estates, would receive a lump sum payment of at least one half of their base salary. Environmental Matters The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations 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 of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capita al costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities. equirements. However, These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and atters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property safety mt damage allegedly caused by substances which the Company manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which the Company has assumed responsibility. The Company believes that its current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about t safety r environmental and safety mt atters between the Company and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to al expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or operating procedures and in capita al investments and changes in t safety r operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations. the Company anticipates that continuing capita elated expenditures, ff t F- 55 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $113.7 million as of December 31, 2020 ($121.3 million as of December 31, 2019), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. The current portion of the environmental liabila ity is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabia lities. The Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liabila ity of approximately $52.7 million over the next five years. ff The aggregate environmental liabia lity reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $153.7 million and $134.6 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $141.9 million and $121.8 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities. These liabilities include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Applicable Federal and State Regulatory Requirements The Company’s operations and many of the products it manufactures are subject to certain specific requirements of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The CAA contains provisions that require capia tal expenditures for the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAA or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in futuret years. t 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 require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. The mandate and other requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 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. EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur capa on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap.a The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in are not expected to have a material advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rulerr impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is required to comply with the renewable fuel standard implemented by EPA, which sets annual quotas for the quantity of renewable fuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States (the “Renewable Fuel Standard”). In July 2018, EPA issued proposed amendments to the Renewable Fuel Standard program regulations that would establia sh annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels that would apply to all gasoline and diesel produced in the U.S. or imported in the year 2019. In addition, the separate proposal includes a proposed biomass-based diesel applicable volume for 2020. It is likely that RIN production will continue to be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic waiver credits or purchase excess RINs from suppliers on the open market. F- 56 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water , which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent intake structures t 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 as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establia sh implementation time lines. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not expect this regulation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. a t The Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to AB32. AB32 imposes a statewide capa 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 and Cap and Trade. The Company is responsible for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and the Martinez refinery beginning on February 1, 2020 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. California Air Resources Board also amended the LCFS in 2018 to require a 20% reduction by 2030. a The Company recovers the majori ty of these costs from its customers, and does not expect these obligations to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs unfavorablea from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2011, the Company is required to comply with EPA’s Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources, or MSAT2, regulations on gasoline that impose reductions in the benzene content of its produced gasoline. The Company purchases benzene credits to meet these requirements when necessary. The al projects to reduce the amount of benzene credits that the Company needs to Company may implement capita purchase. In additions, the Renewable Fuel Standard mandate the blending of prescribed percentages of renewable fuels (e.g., ethanol and biofuels) into the Company’s produced gasoline and diesel. These requirements, other requirements of the CAA and other presently existing or future environmental regulations may cause the Company to make substantial capita al expenditures as well as the purchase of credits at significant cost, to enablea its refineries to produce products that meet applicable requirements. F- 57 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of the t natural to these laws and the Company may be held liable for investigation and Company’s sites are subject remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In the Company’s current normal operations, it has generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund. t t 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. Contingent Consideration In connection with the Martinez Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement includes an earn-out provision based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will in excess of certain make payments to the Seller based on the future earnings of the Martinez refinery thresholds, as defined in the agreement, for a period of up to four years following the acquisition closing date. The Company recorded the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out provision as contingent consideration of $77.3 million within “Other long-term liabila ities” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no balance under the Martinez Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2020, representing no anticipated future earn-out payments. ff ff In connection with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition, the purchase and sale agreement between PBFX and Crown Point included an earn-out provision related to the PBFX Contingent Consideration. PBFX and Crown Point will share equally in the future operating profits of the restarted assets, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, over a contractual term of up to three years starting in 2019. The PBFX Contingent Consideration recorded was $12.1 million and $26.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, representing the present value of expected future payments. The short-term PBFX Contingent Consideration is included in “Accrued expenses” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The acquired idled assets that are subject to the PBFX Contingent Consideration recommenced operations in October 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the commercial agreement, in the third quarter of 2020, the counterparty exercised its right to terminate the contract at the conclusion of the current contract year, resulting in an adjustment in the fair value of the PBFX Contingent Consideration for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $16.4 million, reflecting the elimination of the estimated earn-out for years two and three of the perfoff rmance period. There were no material changes in the fair value of the PBFX Contingent Consideration for the year ended December 31, 2019. F- 58 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Tax Receivable Agreement PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (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 attributablea 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 assumptim ons) 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 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 assumptim ons. 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 99.2% interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2020 (99.0% as of December 31, 2019). PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX. No liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement was recognized as of December 31, 2020, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liabila ity may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. PBF Energy recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $373.5 million as of December 31, 2019. Refer to “Note 21 - Income Taxes” for more details. F- 59 15. LEASES The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery support facilities and equipment, railcars and other operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to logistics assets primarily under non-cancelablea twentyt years, subject to certain renewal options as applicablea . The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the rr balance sheet. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate. For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately. There are no material residual value guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases. There are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements other than those that are customary in such arrangements. Certain of the Company’s leases, primarily for the Company’s commercial and logistics asset classes, include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days the asset has operated during the contract term or another measure of usage and are not included in the initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement through which Air Products will exclusively supply hydrogen, steam, carbon dioxide and other products (the “Products”) to the Martinez, Torrance and Delaware City refineries for a specified period (not expected to exceed 18 months). The transition services agreement also requires certain maintenance and operating activities to be provided by PBF Holding, for which the Company will be reimbursed, during the term of the agreement. In August 2020, the parties executed long-term supply agreements through which Air Products will supply the Products forff a term of fiftff een years at these same refineries. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded lease right of use assets of $504.1 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $503.9 million.

REVENUES Adoption of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been appli ed for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implem menting ASC 606 are detailed below. u a Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As described in “Note 22 - Segment Information”, the Company’s business consists of the Refining Segment and Logistics Segment. The following tablea provides information relating to the Company’s revenues for each product or group of similar products or services by segment for the periods presented.

These revenues are largely based on the current spot (market) prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to our customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Refining segment also has contracts which contain fixeff tures with makeup periods, or other facff tors that have not materially been affected by the Company’s adoption of ASC 606. d pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume feaff The Company’s Logistics segment revenues are generated by charging fees forff crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicablea l volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes.

AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred Revenues The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $47.2 million and $20.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Significant Judgment and Practical Expedients For performance obligations related to sales of products, the Company has determined that customers are able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the point in time that the products are delivered. The Company has determined that the transfer of control upon delivery to the customer’s requested destination accurately depicts the transfer of goods. Upon the deliveryrr of the products and transfer of control, the Company generally has the present right to payment and the customers bear the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

INCOME TAXES ff PBF Energy is required to file fede ral and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to-date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (see “Note 16 - Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity Structure” ). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, 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 attributablea to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly- owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. t Valuation Allowance positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable Management assesses the availablea income will be generated to permit use of existing deferred tax assets. Negative evidence evaluated as part of this assessment included PBF Energy’s cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2020. Such objective evidence limits PBF Energy’s ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income as market conditions, commodity prices and demand for refined petroleum products normalize. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of $358.4 million has been recorded to recognize only the portion of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. The d tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable amount of the deferre income are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the formff of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income. ff The income tax provision in the PBF Energy Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following: (in millions) Current expense (benefit): Federal Foreign State r Total current Deferred expense (benefit): Federal Foreign State Total deferred Total provision for income taxes Year Ended December 31, 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 $ $ (1.7) — 2.2 0.5 (6.6) 5.4 2.8 1.6 2.1 $ $ 0.2 0.1 0.3 0.6 91.8 (8.7) 20.6 103.7 104.3 $ $ 0.8 — — 0.8 18.7 7.2 6.8 32.7 33.5 F- 83 PBF ENERGY INC.

Operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements and are included in Eliminations. Refie ning The Company’s Refining segment includes the operations of its six refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX. The Company’s refineries are located in Delaware City,t Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, 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, Canada and Mexico, and is able to ship products to other international destinations. Logistics The Company’s Logistics segment is comprised of PBFX, a publicly-traded MLP, formed 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 primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, tank farms and pipelines that were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, the Company’s refineries. 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. PBFX currently does not generate significant third-party revenues and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy and PBF LLC perspective, the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments. ff e of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income The Company evaluates the performanc from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributablea to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment’s revenues include intersegment 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 non-operating income and expense items, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refining segment’s operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes. Total assets of each segment consist of property, plant and equipment, inventories, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and other assets directly associated with the segment’s operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of non-operating property, plant and equipment and other assets not directly related to the Company’s refinery and logistics operations. Disclosures regarding the Company’s reportable segments with reconciliations to consolidated totals for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are presented below. In connection with certain contributions by PBF LLC to PBFX, the accompanying segment information is retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of those assets in the Logistics segment for all periods presented prior to such contributions, as applicable.

The net income (loss) attributablea to PBF Energy, used in the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the net income (loss), as well as the corresponding income tax expense (benefit) (based on a 26.6%, 24.9% and 26.0% annualized statutory corporate tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018) attributable to the converted units. (2) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and PSUs and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive). Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 14,446,894, 6,765,526 and 1,293,242 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they are anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive. F- 91 PBF ENERGY INC.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The tablea s 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company has 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 tablea s below. The Company has 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. The Company has no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

F- 94 PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 25. DERIVATIVES The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreements that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, 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, intermediates and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories. As of December 31, 2020, there were no barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (27,580 barrels at December 31, 2019) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. As of December 31, 2020, there were 2,604,736 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,430,635 barrels at December 31, 2019) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value 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, feedff stock, 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 December 31, 2020, there were 7,183,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,810,000 barrels of refined products (5,511,000 and 5,788,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2019), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts. The Company also uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. For such contracts that represent derivatives the Company elects the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore does not record them at fair value. The following tablea the fair values of these derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected. s provide information about Description Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: December 31, 2020: Derivatives included with the inventory intermediation agreement obligations December 31, 2019: Derivatives included with the inventory intermediation agreement obligations Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: December 31, 2020: Commodity contracts December 31, 2019: Commodity contracts Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Asset/ (Liability) (in millions) Accrued expenses $ 11.3 Accrued expenses $ (1.3) Accounts receivable $ Accounts receivable $ (3.0) 0.2 F- 95 PBF ENERGY INC.
