For the variable rate HEP Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At December 31,
2015, outstanding borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement were $712.0 million. By means of its cash flow hedges, HEP has
effectively converted the variable rate on $305.0 million of outstanding principal to a weighted average fixed rate of 3.12%. For
the remaining unhedged Credit Agreement borrowings of $407.0 million, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable
to the HEP Credit Agreement would not materially affect cash flows.
At December 31, 2015, our marketable securities included investments in investment grade, highly-liquid investments with
maturities generally not greater than one year from the date of purchase and hence the interest rate market risk implicit in these
investments is low. Due to the short-term nature of our cash and cash equivalents, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates
would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Since we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we
do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates
on our investment portfolio.
Our operations are subject to hazards of petroleum processing operations, including fire, explosion and weather-related perils. We
maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully
insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment,
do not justify such expenditures.
Financial information is reviewed on the counterparties in order to review and monitor their financial stability and assess their
ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the derivative contracts. We have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience,
any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their commitments.
We have a risk management oversight committee consisting of members from our senior management. This committee oversees
our risk enterprise program, monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate identified risks that
may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under
generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable
to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation
are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative
to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a
measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented
here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used
by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.
