••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score

Business Description

HollyFrontier Corp formerly known as Holly Corp was incorporated in Delaware in 1947. The Company is mainly an independent petroleum refiner operating two refineries in Artesia and Lovington, New Mexico and Woods Cross, Utah. The company merged with Frontier Oil Corporation ('Frontier') effective July 1, 2011. Concurrent with the merger, it changed its name from Holly Corporation ('Holly') to HollyFrontier. Its refinery operations serve the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. It owns and operates five complex refineries having an aggregate crude capacity of 443,000 barrels per day. The Company also owns a 42% interest in HEP, which owns and operates pipeline and terminalling assets. The Company's main source of revenue is from the sale of high value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel in markets in the southwestern and western United States. Holly's operations are currently organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. The Refining segment includes the operations of the Company's Navajo Refinery, Woods Cross Refinery and Holly Asphalt Company. The Refining segment involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products and specialty and modified asphalt. The petroleum products produced by the Refining segment are primarily marketed in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States and northern Mexico. The Refining segment also includes Holly Asphalt Company which manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP effective March 1, 2008. HEP owns and operates a system of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah and distribution terminals and refinery tankage in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho and Washington. HEP generates revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines, by leasing certain pipeline capacity to Alon, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. The Company's operations are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety, characteristics and composition of gasoline and diesel fuels and other matters otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
