Current case
- Strongest support
PBF Holding Company LLC Convertible — $500M
Direct refinancing of higher-cost debt, reducing interest expense and improving financial flexibility.
· Moves cost of debt, free cash flow
- Main threat
Sky Quarry Inc. Restarts Nevada's Only Crude Oil Refinery at Eagle Springs
PBF Energy is an independent refiner. While its operations are primarily on the East Coast and Gulf Coast, any increase in refining capacity, even small and regional, contributes to the overall supply picture. However, direct competitive impact from a Nevada refinery is highly unlikely.
· Moves overall refining capacity utilization, regional crack spreads (indirectly)
- Open question
PBF Energy Inc. Convertible — $550M
Direct capital structure change, potential future equity dilution, and reduced cash interest expense.
· Moves cost of debt, future share count (dilution), capital structure mix
