Our business is divided into three key areas: refining and marketing, asphalt and retail. 1—BIG SPRING Big Spring’s advantaged location in the heart of the Permian Basin allows the refinery to source crude at a discount to other domestic and global crudes. The refinery has run exceedingly well after the completion of the major, five-year turnaround and vacuum tower project in the second quarter of 2014. The resulting benefits include increased production of high-margin diesel and savings in energy costs. The refinery realized a liquid recovery exceeding 100% in 2014. 2—KROTZ SPRINGS In 2014, Krotz Springs achieved record operating results under our ownership, including record annual throughput of over 70,000 barrels per day. The refinery realized a liquid recovery of 102% and a clean product yield of 90%. We believe Krotz Springs will benefit from crude discounts as Gulf Coast crude inventories rise. 3—CALIFORNIA In 2014, we made strides to transform our California asset base into an earnings contributor. In September 2014, we received a permit to construct a new rail facility at the Bakersfield refinery and to make modifications to the refinery that will allow it to process light crude. We are first moving forward with the rail facility, which we expect to meaningfully increase our logistics EBITDA. 4—RETAIL Our retail business generated record operating results, fuel volumes and merchandise sales in 2014. We continue to focus on growing merchandise sales and enhancing our merchandise margins through our remodel program. We are also focused on increasing fuel volume sales. We continue to evaluate ways to increase stockholder value within this business. 5—ASPHALT A depressed demand environment has continued to weigh on the performance of our asphalt segment. We believe years of underinvest- ment in our nation’s roads will eventually spur an improvement in demand and our profitability. In the meantime, we are focused on oppor- tunities to improve this business by right-sizing our assets, focusing on premium products with higher margins and striving to be the low-cost operator in our markets. 1 2 3 4 5 PAGE 2 ALON USA ENERGY, INC. | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS Dear Fellow Stockholders Our company had several landmark accomplishments in 2014, including achieving the second highest annual adjusted EBITDA in our history.
