Item 7.01 Regulation FD

Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2022, the manner in which Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) determines its Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA will be modified to include the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory gains (losses) associated with the Company’s titled manufactured inventory in Hawaii. This modification was made to better align Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA with the cash flow of the Hawaii refining business. Prior to 2022, the impacts of FIFO inventory gains (losses) associated with Hawaii titled manufactured inventory were eliminated through the inventory valuation adjustment. The Company will also recast Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Over the past year, the Company’s titled manufactured inventory position in Hawaii averaged approximately 550,000 barrels.

As previously disclosed, the Company believes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess: (i) the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis; (ii) the ability of its assets to generate cash to pay interest on its indebtedness; and (iii) operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to the Company’s presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.
