1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

General

The terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As discussed in Note 2, the outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Developments with respect to COVID-19 have been occurring at a rapid pace and the risk remains that circumstances could change. Demand for and market prices of most of our products began to improve during the latter half of 2020 and continued to improve throughout the first quarter of 2021. These improvements resulted primarily from the lifting or easing of restrictions by many governmental authorities, especially those in our U.S. Gulf Coast and U.S. Mid-Continent regions, in response to decreasing COVID-19 infection rates and increasing numbers of people receiving COVID-19 vaccines, which were approved by a number of regulators throughout the world in late 2020 and early 2021. While many governmental authorities in areas located in our U.S. West Coast and North Atlantic regions, such as California, Canada, and the United Kingdom (U.K.), continue to impose restrictions, some of these restrictions have been or are soon expected to be moderately lifted. The ongoing distribution of vaccines may result in the continued lifting of restrictions and may be seen as a key factor in helping to restore public confidence, and thus stimulate and increase economic activity, potentially to pre-pandemic levels; however, the risk remains that the vaccines may not be distributed widely on a timely basis, they may not be effective against new variants of the COVID-19 virus, the distribution of some or all of the vaccines may be paused or withdrawn due to concerns with potential side effects, and/or the level of individuals’ willingness to receive a vaccine may not be as strong or as timely as needed. Based on these and other circumstances that cannot be predicted, the broader implications of the pandemic on our results of operations and financial position remain uncertain.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts presented in Note 11 have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation. The change was due to the reclassification of amounts for income taxes receivable from prepaid expenses and other to “receivables, net.”

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncement

The following Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) was issued and adopted by us on January 7, 2021. Our adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.


ASU		Basis of Adoption
2021-01	Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope	Prospectively

2. UNCERTAINTIES

While our business has improved as a result of the increasing demand for and market prices of most of the products that we produce, many uncertainties remain with respect to the pandemic, including its resulting economic effects. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from the pandemic on our business and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic subsides, the timing or effectiveness of vaccine distributions or vaccination levels, whether improvements experienced by us so far may reverse, or whether other setbacks may occur. As a result, the adverse impacts of the economic effects of the pandemic on our company may likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively responded to many of the known impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business to the extent practicable and we strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that any measures we have taken or may take will be fully effective.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Refinery feedstocks	$	1,947	$	1,979
Refined petroleum products and blendstocks	3,284		3,425
Renewable diesel feedstocks and products	64		50
Ethanol feedstocks and products	297		297
Materials and supplies	289		287


Inventories	$	5,881	$	6,038

We compare the market value of inventories to their cost on an aggregate basis, excluding materials and supplies. In determining the market value of our inventories, we assume that feedstocks are converted into refined products, which requires us to make estimates regarding the refined products expected to be produced from those feedstocks and the conversion costs required to convert those feedstocks into refined products. We also estimate the usual and customary transportation costs required to move the inventory from our plants to the appropriate points of sale. We then apply an estimated selling price to our inventories. If the aggregate market value is less than the aggregate cost, we recognize a loss for the difference in our statements of income. To the extent the aggregate market value of our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventories subsequently increases, we recognize an increase to the value of our inventories (not to exceed cost) and a gain in our statements of income.

The market value of our LIFO inventories fell below their LIFO inventory carrying amounts as of March 31, 2020, and as a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation reserve of $2.5 billion in order to state our inventories at market. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the replacement cost (market value) of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by $2.7 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

Our non-LIFO inventories accounted for $1.2 billion and $918 million of our total inventories as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

DGD Revolver

In March 2021, DGD (as described in Note 6) entered into a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the DGD Revolver) that matures in March 2024. DGD has the option to increase the aggregate commitments under the DGD Revolver to $550 million, subject to certain restrictions. The DGD Revolver also provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $10 million. The DGD Revolver is available only to the operations of DGD, and the creditors of DGD do not have recourse against us.

Outstanding borrowings under the DGD Revolver generally bear interest, at DGD’s option, at either (i) an alternate base rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin. The DGD Revolver also requires payments for customary fees, including unused commitment fees, letter of credit fees, and administrative agent fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no borrowings or repayments under the DGD Revolver.

6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIEs

We consolidate a VIE when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2021, our significant consolidated VIEs included:

•DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc., which owns and operates a plant that processes rendered and recycled materials, including animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils, into renewable diesel; and

•Central Mexico Terminals, which is a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), a Mexican company and subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a U.S. public company. We have terminaling agreements with Central Mexico Terminals that represent variable interests. We do not have an ownership interest in Central Mexico Terminals.

The assets of our VIEs can only be used to settle their own obligations and the creditors of our VIEs have no recourse to our other assets. We do not provide financial guarantees to our VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of our VIEs in support of their construction or acquisition activities, these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are impacted by the performance of our consolidated VIEs, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are accounted for as equity investments.

On April 19, 2021, we sold a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), an unconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners LP (Magellan), for $270 million. MVP owns and operates a marine terminal located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. We retained a 25.01 percent membership interest in MVP.

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component (i.e., the non-service cost components) are included in “other income, net” in the statements of income.

As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we plan to contribute approximately $128 million to our pension plans and $22 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we contributed $21 million and $12 million, respectively, to our pension plans and $3 million and $4 million, respectively, to our other postretirement benefit plans.

8. INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted, which resulted in significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We recognized an overall income tax benefit of $616 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, of which $110 million was attributable to the tax net operating loss (NOL) carryback provided for under the CARES Act of our 2020 tax NOL to our 2015 income tax year in which we paid federal income tax at a 35 percent tax rate. In addition, we were not limited in the amount of interest expense we could deduct. The remaining income tax benefit was primarily due to the LCM inventory valuation adjustment that resulted in a tax benefit of $551 million.

10. REVENUES AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below under “Segment Information” disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of our financial statements.

Contract Balances

Contract balances were as follows (in millions):


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		Increase
Receivables from contracts with customers, included in receivables, net	$	4,701	$	3,642	$	1,059
Contract liabilities, included in accrued expenses	104		55		49

Receivables from contracts with customers is a component of “receivables, net” as presented on the balance sheet. The increase in “receivables, net” is described in Note 11.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized as revenue $37 million and $52 million, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

We have spot and term contracts with customers, the majority of which are spot contracts with no remaining performance obligations. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for our remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly uncertain. Therefore, as of March 31, 2021, we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.

Segment Information

We have three reportable segments — refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.

•The refining segment includes the operations of our petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal

Table of Contents

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.

•The renewable diesel segment represents the operations of DGD, our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 6. The principal product manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment is renewable diesel. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.

•The ethanol segment includes the operations of our ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.

Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

The following tables reflect information about our operating income (loss) by reportable segment (in millions):

11. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

In order to determine net cash used in operating activities, net loss is adjusted by, among other things, changes in current assets and current liabilities as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
Receivables, net	$	(2,946)	$	2,968
Inventories	175		627

Income taxes payable	26		(152)
Changes in current assets and current liabilities	$	184	$	(1,107)

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily due to the following:

•the increase in receivables was primarily due to an increase in commodity prices in March 2021 compared to December 2020 combined with an increase in sales volumes;

•the decrease in inventories was primarily due to lower inventory levels in March 2021 compared to December 2020; and

•the increase in accounts payable was due to an increase in commodity prices in March 2021 compared to December 2020 combined with an increase in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily due to the following:

•the decrease in receivables was due to (i) a decrease of $3.4 billion as a result of a decrease in commodity prices in March 2020 compared to December 2019 combined with a decrease in sales volumes and (ii) an increase in income taxes receivable of $430 million primarily due to the recognition of the current portion of the income tax benefit described in Note 8;

•the decrease in inventories was due to a decrease in commodity prices in March 2020 compared to December 2019 combined with lower inventory levels;

•the decrease in accounts payable was due to a decrease in commodity prices in March 2020 compared to December 2019 combined with a decrease in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased; and

•the decrease in taxes other than income taxes payable was mainly due to the payment of ad valorem, value-added, and motor fuel taxes.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information (in millions) about our assets and liabilities recognized at their fair values in our balance sheets categorized according to the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by us to determine the fair values as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral assets or obligations as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented in the following tables on a gross basis. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:

•Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in Note 13. These contracts are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.

•Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our international operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(functional) currencies of our operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted foreign currency exchange rates and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Environmental credit obligations represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (the California cap-and-trade system, also known as AB 32) and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. These programs are described in Note 13 under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk—Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk.” The liability for environmental credits is based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Other Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that we recognize in our balance sheets at their carrying amounts are shown in the following table along with their associated fair values (in millions):

13. PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with various government and regulatory programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 12), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.” The effect of these derivative instruments on our income and other comprehensive income (loss) is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of feedstocks (primarily crude oil and corn), the products we produce (primarily refined petroleum products), and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

We primarily use commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and economic hedges. Our objectives for entering into each type of hedge is described below.

•Cash flow hedges – The objective of our cash flow hedges is to lock in the price of forecasted purchases and/or product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

•Economic hedges – Our objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and product inventories and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted purchases and/or product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

As of March 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding commodity derivative instruments that were used as cash flow hedges and economic hedges, as well as commodity derivative instruments related to the physical purchase of corn at a fixed price. The information presents the notional volume of outstanding contracts by type of instrument and year of maturity (volumes in thousands of barrels, except corn contracts that are presented in thousands of bushels).

Corn:
Futures – long	63,630	10
Futures – short	90,395	365
Physical contracts – long	26,563	351

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of March 31, 2021, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $245 million of U.S. dollars and $2.8 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars. Of these commitments, $1.0 billion matured on or before April 27, 2021 and the remaining $2.0 billion will mature by July 15, 2021.

Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. Certain of these programs require us to blend biofuels into the products we produce, and we are subject to such programs in most of the countries in which we operate. These countries set annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into the motor fuels consumed in these countries. As a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the applicable quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at the applicable rate, we must purchase biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.). We are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits, and we manage that risk by purchasing biofuel credits when prices are deemed favorable. The cost of meeting our

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

obligations under these compliance programs was $360 million and $112 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

We are subject to additional requirements under greenhouse gas (GHG) emission programs, including the cap-and-trade systems, as discussed in Note 12. Under these cap-and-trade systems, we purchase various GHG emission credits available on the open market. Therefore, we are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits. The cost to implement certain provisions of the cap-and-trade systems are significant; however, we recovered substantially all of these costs from our customers for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and expect to continue to recover the majority of these costs in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the net cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was immaterial.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 12 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 12, we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations. The following table, however, is presented on a gross asset and gross liability basis, which results in the reflection of certain assets in liability accounts and certain liabilities in asset accounts:

Market Risk

Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy. We do not require any collateral or other security to support derivative instruments into which we enter. We also do not have any derivative instruments that require us to maintain a minimum investment-grade credit rating.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table provides information about the gain (loss) recognized in income and other comprehensive income (loss) due to fair value adjustments of our cash flow hedges (in millions):


Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives	Three Months Ended March 31,

Commodity contracts
Gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) on derivatives	N/A	$	(13)	$	55
Gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income	Revenues	(23)		26

For cash flow hedges, no component of any derivative instrument’s gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash flow hedges primarily related to forward sales of renewable diesel. The estimated deferred after-tax gain that is expected to be reclassified into revenues over the next 12 months as a result of the hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur as of March 31, 2021 was immaterial. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting. The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are described in Note 5.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK,” “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” below include references to financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating income (loss) (including adjusted operating income (loss) for each of our reportable segments, as applicable); refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol segment margin; and capital investments attributable to Valero. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods and to help assess our cash flows. See the tables in note (c) beginning on page 41 for reconciliations of adjusted operating income (loss) (including adjusted operating income (loss) for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol segment margin to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Also in note (c), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information. See the table on page 47 for a reconciliation of capital investments attributable to Valero to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Beginning on page 46, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Business Operations Update

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally as governmental authorities imposed restrictions, such as stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures, to slow the spread of COVID-19. These actions significantly reduced global economic activity and negatively impacted many businesses, including our business. We experienced a decline in the demand for most of the transportation fuels that we produce and sell, and thus also a decline in the market prices of those products, due to a decrease in the level of individual movement and travel resulting from the restrictions. There was also a decline in the global demand for crude oil, the primary feedstock for the products of our refining segment, resulting in a decline in crude oil prices and production levels. As a result of these factors, we generated a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders in 2020 and our operations generated significantly less cash in 2020 than in prior years. We took a number of actions since March 2020 to respond to the impacts from the pandemic on our business, such as reducing transportation fuel production at our refineries and ethanol plants to align with demand, deferring certain capital investments, deferring the payment of certain income and indirect taxes as permitted by legislation, and suspending purchases of our common stock under our stock purchase program. We also raised a total of $4.0 billion (before deducting the underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs) through two public debt offerings at attractive rates. The net proceeds from these offerings, along with the cash generated by our operations, allowed us to make most of our planned capital investments, pay dividends in each of the 2020 quarterly periods, and increase our cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year end.

For the first quarter of 2021, we reported a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $704 million. The factor primarily impacting these results was a significant increase in the cost of electricity and natural gas at certain of our refineries and ethanol plants arising out of Winter Storm Uri. We incurred excess energy costs estimated at $579 million, or $467 million after taxes, during the first quarter of 2021. Our results for the first quarter are more fully discussed in “First Quarter Results” below and in “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” beginning on page 33.

Table of Contents

While the significant increase in energy costs was an event isolated to the first quarter of 2021, our business showed signs of recovery and improvement in the demand for and market prices of gasoline and diesel, with both factors reaching near pre-pandemic levels in March 2021. Jet fuel demand has seen improved market indicators, such as higher traveler throughput as reported by the Transportation Security Administration, although at a slower pace than other products we produce relative to pre-pandemic levels. These improvements resulted primarily from the lifting or easing of restrictions by many governmental authorities, especially those in our U.S. Gulf Coast and U.S. Mid-Continent regions, in response to decreasing COVID-19 infection rates and increasing numbers of people receiving COVID-19 vaccines, which were approved by a number of regulators throughout the world in late 2020 and early 2021. While many governmental authorities in areas located in our U.S. West Coast and North Atlantic regions, such as California, Canada, and the U.K., continue to impose restrictions, some of these restrictions have been or are soon expected to be moderately lifted. The ongoing distribution of vaccines may result in the continued lifting of restrictions and may be seen as a key factor in helping to restore public confidence, and thus stimulate and increase economic activity, potentially to pre-pandemic levels; however, the risk remains that the vaccines may not be distributed widely on a timely basis, they may not be effective against new variants of the COVID-19 virus, the distribution of some or all of the vaccines may be paused or withdrawn due to concerns with potential side effects, and/or the level of individuals’ willingness to receive a vaccine may not be as strong or as timely as needed. Based on these and other circumstances that cannot be predicted, the broader implications of the pandemic on our results of operations and financial position remain uncertain.

The improving, but lingering, impacts of the pandemic on our operations and the negative effects arising out of Winter Storm Uri on the energy costs at certain of our refineries and ethanol plants also impacted our liquidity during the first quarter of 2021. Our operations for the quarter used $52 million of cash largely due to the effect from estimated excess energy costs previously noted, the majority of which were paid by the end of the first quarter. We also made $582 million in capital investments and paid $400 million in dividends during the quarter. As a result, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.0 billion, from $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2020 to $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2021. We did not issue any debt or make any borrowings under our credit facilities during the first quarter of 2021, and we had $8.0 billion in liquidity1 as of March 31, 2021. A summary of our cash flows is presented on page 45, and a description of our cash flows and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources, including measures we have taken to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity, can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” on pages 44 through 49.

While our business has improved as a result of the increasing demand for and market prices of most of the products that we produce, many uncertainties remain with respect to the pandemic, including its resulting economic effects. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from the pandemic on our business and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic subsides, the timing or effectiveness of vaccine distributions or vaccination levels, whether improvements experienced by us so far may reverse, or whether other setbacks may occur. As a result, the adverse impacts of the economic effects of the pandemic on our company may likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively responded to many of the known impacts of the pandemic on our business to the extent practicable and we strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that these or other measures will be fully effective.

First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2021, we reported a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $704 million compared to a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.9 billion for the first quarter of 2020. The improvement of $1.1 billion was primarily due to a lower operating loss of $1.6 billion, partially offset by a lower income tax benefit of $468 million. The decrease in operating loss between the periods included the effect of a $2.5 billion LCM inventory valuation adjustment in the first quarter of 2020, which is described in Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in note (b) on page 41.

While our operating loss decreased by $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, adjusted operating income decreased by $895 million. Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustments reflected in the table in note (c) on page 44.

The $895 million decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily due to the following:

•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $883 million primarily due to estimated excess energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri, lower distillate margins, lower throughput volumes, and higher cost of biofuel credits, partially offset by higher gasoline margins. This is more fully described on pages 37 and 38.

•Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $5 million primarily due to higher renewable diesel prices, partially offset by higher feedstock costs and an unfavorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities. This is more fully described on page 39.

•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating loss decreased by $13 million primarily due to higher ethanol and corn related co-product prices, partially offset by higher corn prices, estimated excess energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri, and lower production volumes. This is more fully described on pages 40 and 41.

Outlook

As previously discussed, many uncertainties remain with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, and while it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts that the pandemic may have on us and how quickly we can recover once the pandemic subsides, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the second quarter of 2021.

•Gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel prices are expected to continue to improve with industry-wide inventory levels returning to historical levels and continued recovery in product demand.

•Sour crude oil discounts are expected to continue to improve as OPEC production increases in response to any further growth in global oil demand.

•Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.

•Ethanol margins are expected to improve as domestic consumption increases.

Revenues decreased by $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the volume of refined petroleum products sold by our refining segment. This decrease in revenues, along with an increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $31 million, was more than offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $3.0 billion, which resulted in a $1.6 billion decrease in operating loss, from $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to $666 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the effect of the $2.5 billion LCM inventory valuation adjustment in the first quarter of 2020 and lower production volumes resulting in lower crude oil and other feedstock costs in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a $532 million increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense).

Table of Contents

Adjusted operating income decreased by $895 million, from $267 million of adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2020 to an adjusted operating loss of $628 million in the first quarter of 2021. The $895 million decrease includes a $31 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) associated with our corporate activities, and this increase is discussed below. The remaining components of the decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analyses that follow.

General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $31 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in certain employee compensation expenses of $23 million and higher advertising expenses of $7 million.

“Interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest” increased by $24 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to interest expense associated with public debt offerings in 2020.

Income tax benefit decreased by $468 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of a lower loss before income tax benefit. Our effective tax rate was 19 percent for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 26 percent for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was impacted by the U.S. federal tax NOL for 2020, which was carried back to 2015 when the U.S. federal statutory rate was 35 percent, as described in Note 8 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Refining Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our refining segment for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 33 and 34, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

Refining segment operating loss decreased by $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2021; however, refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (c) on page 43, decreased by $883 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The

Table of Contents

components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Refining segment margin decreased by $410 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the refined petroleum products that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 35 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe had a material impact on the change in our refining segment margin in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The decrease in refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $280 million.

◦A decrease in throughput volumes of 414,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of $249 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 30 through 31, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in global economic disruption and a significant decline in the demand for the transportation fuels we produce, and as a result, we reduced production of transportation fuel products beginning late in the first quarter of 2020. We have since increased the production of most of our products to align with improvements in demand, which reached near pre-pandemic levels in March 2021.

◦An increase in the cost of biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) had an unfavorable impact of $248 million. See Note 13 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our government and regulatory compliance program.

◦Lower discounts on feedstocks other than crude oil had an unfavorable impact of approximately $167 million.

◦Estimated excess energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri had an unfavorable impact of $47 million (see note (a) on page 41).

◦An increase in gasoline margins had a favorable impact of approximately $557 million.

•Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $476 million primarily due to estimated excess energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri of $478 million (see note (a) on page 41).

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our renewable diesel segment for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 33 and 34, respectively, unless otherwise noted.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Depreciation and amortization expense	12		11		1

Sales volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (d) on page 44)	867		867		—

Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $5 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher renewable diesel segment margin.

Renewable diesel segment margin increased by $15 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. Renewable diesel segment margin is primarily affected by the price of the renewable diesel that we sell and the cost of the feedstocks that we process. The table on page 36 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our renewable diesel segment margin in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in renewable diesel segment margin was primarily due to the following:

•Higher renewable diesel prices had a favorable impact of approximately $121 million.

•An increase in the cost of the feedstocks we process had an unfavorable impact of approximately $59 million.

•Price risk management activities had an unfavorable impact of $49 million. We recognized a hedge loss of $23 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to a hedge gain of $26 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our ethanol segment for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 33 and 34, respectively, unless otherwise noted.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Change
Operating loss	$	(56)	$	(197)	$	141

Depreciation and amortization expense	21		22		(1)

Production volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (d) on page 44)	3,562		4,103		(541)

Ethanol segment operating loss decreased by $141 million in the first quarter of 2021; however, ethanol segment adjusted operating loss, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (c) on page 43, decreased by $13 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Ethanol segment margin increased by $59 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices of the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 36 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our ethanol segment margin in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦Higher ethanol prices had a favorable impact of approximately $178 million.

◦Higher prices on the co-products that we produce, primarily distillers grains, had a favorable impact of approximately $94 million.

◦Higher corn prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $188 million.

◦A decrease in production volumes of 541,000 gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $24 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 30 through 31, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in global economic disruption and a significant decline in demand for ethanol, and as a result, we reduced production beginning late in the first quarter of 2020. We have since increased the production of ethanol at most of our plants to align with improvements in demand.

Table of Contents

•Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $47 million primarily due to estimated excess energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri of $54 million (see note (a) on page 41), partially offset by lower chemical and catalyst costs of $6 million.

________________________

The following notes relate to references on pages 30 through 41.

(a)In mid-February 2021, many of our refineries and plants were impacted to varying extents by the severe cold, utility disruptions, and higher energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri. The higher energy costs resulted from an increase in the prices of natural gas and electricity that significantly exceeded rates that we consider normal, such as the average rates we incurred the month preceding the storm. As a result, our operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes estimated excess energy costs of $579 million.

The above-mentioned pre-tax estimated excess energy charge is reflected in our statement of income line items and attributable to our reportable segments as follows (in millions):


	Refining		Renewable Diesel		Ethanol		Total
Cost of materials and other	$	47	$	—	$	—	$	47
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	478		—		54		532
Total estimated excess energy costs	$	525	$	—	$	54	$	579

(b)The market value of our inventories accounted for under the LIFO method fell below their historical cost on an aggregate basis as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation adjustment of $2.5 billion in March 2020. Of the $2.5 billion adjustment, $2.4 billion and $128 million are attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively.

(c)We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe our adjusted operating income measures (including for our refining and ethanol segments) are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. We believe our refining margin, renewable diesel margin, and ethanol margin, as applicable, are important measures of the relevant segment’s operating and financial performance because, with respect to such segment, it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

During the first quarter of 2021, our liquidity was negatively impacted by the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative effects arising out of Winter Storm Uri on energy costs at certain of our refineries and ethanol plants during mid-February 2021, as described in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update.” The actions that we took throughout 2020, and have continued to take in 2021, to respond to the impacts from the pandemic on our business improved our liquidity position. Among the actions taken were the deferral of certain capital investments, the deferral of certain income and indirect tax payments, and the suspension of share repurchases. See discussion of these deferrals and the suspension of share repurchases and their impact on our liquidity in 2021 within the discussion of matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources below.

In March 2021, DGD entered into the DGD Revolver, as described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2021 and April 29, 2021, DGD had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

We believe that we have sufficient funds from operations and from borrowings under our credit facilities to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional cash through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets or the arrangement of additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.

On April 19, 2021, we sold a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP for $270 million, as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We retained a 25.01 percent interest in MVP.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

In the first quarter of 2021, we used $1.1 billion of our cash on hand to fund our operations by $52 million, make $580 million of investments in our business, and fund $447 million of other financing activities.

Our operations typically generate positive net cash flows; however, in the first quarter of 2021, we used $52 million of cash to fund our operations that was largely driven by a significant increase in energy costs at certain of our refineries and ethanol plants due to effects arising out of Winter Storm Uri, as described

Table of Contents

in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update,” partially offset by noncash charges to income of $339 million, and a positive change in working capital of $184 million. Noncash charges included $578 million of depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $239 million deferred income tax benefit. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 11 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net loss.

Our investing activities of $580 million consisted of $582 million in capital investments, as defined below, of which $154 million related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $26 million was related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $447 million consisted primarily of $400 million in dividend payments, $31 million of payments of debt and finance lease obligations, and $14 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury in connection with stock-based compensation plans.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

In the first quarter of 2020, we used $1.1 billion of cash on hand and $370 million in borrowings to fund our operations by $49 million, make $757 million of investments in our business, and fund $565 million of other financing activities. The borrowings are described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our operations typically generate positive net cash flows; however, in the first quarter of 2020, we used $49 million of cash to fund our operations due primarily to a negative change in working capital of $1.1 billion. While we incurred a net loss of $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020, that net loss was driven by $3.0 billion of noncash charges consisting of $582 million of depreciation and amortization expense and the $2.5 billion LCM inventory valuation adjustment. The negative change in working capital was largely the result of rapidly falling market prices for the products that we sell. Cash generated by our product sales is typically greater than the cash we use to pay for crude oil and other feedstocks that we process and other costs that we incur. However, because daily product sales follow the market prices on that day, rapid increases or decreases in product market prices can significantly impact our working capital positively or negatively, respectively. Market prices declined rapidly in the latter half of March 2020 and this rapid decline resulted in a significant use of cash to pay for our crude oil and other feedstock purchases that were purchased earlier in the quarter before market prices for those feedstocks declined. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 11 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net loss.

Our investing activities of $757 million consisted of $767 million in capital investments, as defined below, of which $78 million related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $62 million was related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $565 million consisted primarily of $401 million in dividend payments, $147 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury, and $15 million of payments of debt and finance lease obligations.

Capital Investments

Our capital investments include capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Capital investments attributable to Valero, which is a

Table of Contents

non-GAAP financial measure, reflects our net share of capital investments and is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to our joint venture partner and all of the capital expenditures of other VIEs.

We are a 50/50 joint venture partner in DGD and consolidate DGD’s financial statements; as a result, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities. DGD’s partners use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each partner, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of capital investments. We also exclude the capital expenditures of our other consolidated VIEs because we do not operate those VIEs. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.

Capital investments attributable to Valero should not be considered as an alternative to capital investments, its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our cash flows as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define it differently, which may diminish its utility.

As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we expect to incur $2.0 billion for capital investments attributable to Valero during 2021. Approximately 60 percent of the capital investments attributable to Valero are for sustaining the business and 40 percent are for growth strategies, over half of which is allocated to expanding the renewable diesel business. However, we continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as conditions warrant. The

Table of Contents

capital investment estimate for 2021 includes $200 million of the approximately $500 million of capital investments that were deferred in 2020 and excludes strategic acquisitions, if any.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stock Purchase Program

As of March 31, 2021, we had $1.4 billion available for purchase under our stock purchase program, which has no expiration date. We have not purchased any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020, and we will evaluate the timing of repurchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.

Pension Plan Funding

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by governmental authorities relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our refineries or plants could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.

Tax Matters

Under deferrals provided by recently passed legislation, such as the CARES Act in the U.S. and by various taxing authorities under other existing legislation, we deferred approximately $250 million of income and indirect (e.g., VAT and motor fuel taxes) tax payments that were due in 2020. Of this amount, approximately 90 percent will be paid in 2021 and 10 percent in 2022. No deferred payments were made in the first quarter of 2021.

Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries

As of March 31, 2021, $1.3 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our international subsidiaries. Cash held by our international subsidiaries can be repatriated to us without any U.S. federal income tax consequences, but certain other taxes may apply, including, but not limited to, withholding taxes imposed by certain international jurisdictions and U.S. state income taxes. Therefore, there is a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our international subsidiaries to us, but we believe that such amount is not material to our financial position or liquidity.

Concentration of Customers

Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions including the uncertainties concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility in the global oil markets. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2021, our contractual obligations included debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, we had debt-related activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2021, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since the date our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 was filed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

•inventories and firm commitments to purchase inventories generally for amounts by which our current year inventory levels (determined on a LIFO basis) differ from our previous year-end LIFO inventory levels; and

•forecasted purchases and/or product sales in order to lock-in such forecasted transactions at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of gain or loss that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price for all of our commodity derivative instruments entered into for purposes other than trading with which we have market risk was not material.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Environmental Enforcement Matters

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the following environmental proceedings, if any one or more of them were decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We are reporting these proceedings to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, which require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions of $300,000 or more.

U.S. EPA (Benicia Refinery). On December 11, 2020, our Benicia Refinery received a Notice of Potential Violation and Opportunity to Confer from the U.S. EPA, without penalty demand, related to a series of inspections the U.S. EPA Region 9 conducted in 2019 to determine the refinery’s compliance with various federal environmental laws. We are working with the U.S. EPA to resolve this matter, which we reasonably believe may result in penalties that are in excess of $300,000.

Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) (Benicia Refinery). On March 21, 2019, we received a Notice of Violation (VN) from the BAAQMD related to atmospheric emissions of hydrogen commingled with non-methane organic compounds at our Benicia Refinery. We are working with the BAAQMD to resolve the VN and related compliance issues, which we now reasonably believe may result in penalties that are in excess of $300,000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2020. However, to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operation, and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in such risk factors.

Exhibit 10.01

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Performance Share Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Valero Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Valero”), and [__________], a participant (the “Participant”) in Valero’s 2011 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended, the “Plan”), is entered into pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Plan, and amends and restates that certain Performance Share Agreement between Valero and Participant dated as of February 26, 2020, to amend and restate the terms and conditions of the award of Performance Shares granted to Participant as of February 26, 2020.

1.Grant of Performance Shares. Valero grants to Participant [____] Performance Shares pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Plan. The Performance Shares represent rights to receive shares of Common Stock of Valero, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

2.Vesting and Delivery of Shares.

A.Vesting. The Performance Shares granted hereunder shall vest over a period of three years in equal, one-third increments with the first increment vesting on the date of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board’s Compensation Committee in January 2021, and the second and third increments vesting on the Committee’s meeting dates in January 2022 and January 2023, respectively (each of these vesting dates is referred to as a “Normal Vesting Date”); any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such vesting are subject to the Compensation Committee’s verification of attainment of the Performance Objectives described in Section 4 below. If the Committee is unable to meet in January of a given year, then the Normal Vesting Date for that year will be a date not later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the year as selected by the Compensation Committee.

B.Rights. Until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to Participant (or his or her estate) in settlement of the Performance Shares, neither Participant nor any person claiming by, through or under Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of Valero (including, without limitation, voting rights or any right to receive dividends or other distributions except as expressly provided in this Agreement) with respect to such shares.

C.Distribution. Any shares of Common Stock to be distributed under the terms of this Agreement shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after Performance Objectives described in Section 4 below have been verified by the Compensation Committee, but not later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the year in which such verification occurred.

3.Performance Period. Except as provided below with respect to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the “Performance Period” for any Performance Shares eligible to vest on any Normal Vesting Date shall be as follows:

A.First Segment. The Performance Period for the first one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2021) shall be the calendar year ending on December 31, 2020.

Page 1

B.Second Segment. The Performance Period for the second one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2022) shall be the two calendar years ending December 31, 2021.

C.Third Segment. The Performance Period for the final one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2023) shall be the three calendar years ending December 31, 2022.

4.Performance Objectives. On each Normal Vesting Date, Valero’s performance will be measured against: (A) Valero’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to its peers; and (B) Valero’s Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) versus a target. On the vesting date for each tranche of the Performance Shares, 75% of the target award will be assessed against the relative TSR performance measure, and 25% will be assessed against the ROIC performance measure. The total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued for each vesting tranche will be determined by combining the number of earned shares from each metric as determined through each metric’s unique performance criteria.

Following, the determination of Valero’s performance with respect to the TSR and ROIC metrics described herein, the payout percentage determined therefrom will be subject to an increase or decrease based on Valero’s performance against the Energy Transition measures described in Section 4.C. below.

A.Total Shareholder Return (TSR) – 75% weighting.

(i)TSR will be compiled for a peer group of companies approved by the Compensation Committee (the “Target Group”) for the Performance Period immediately preceding each Normal Vesting Date. TSR for each such company is measured by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the dividends on the common stock of such company during the Performance Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the difference between the average closing price of a share of such company’s common stock for the 15 trading days ending December 31 at the end of the Performance Period and the average closing price of such shares for the 15 trading days ending December 31 immediately prior to the beginning of the Performance Period (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, merger or other similar corporate events), by (B) the average closing price of a share of such company’s common stock for the 15 trading days ending December 31 immediately prior to the beginning of the Performance Period.

(ii)For each Performance Period, the TSR for Valero and each company in the Target Group shall be arranged by rank from highest performer to lowest performer according to the TSR achieved by each company. Shares of Common Stock will be awarded to Participant in accordance with Valero’s percentile ranking within the Target Group. The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that Participant will be entitled to receive in settlement of the vested Performance Shares will be determined on each Normal Vesting Date. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, on such Normal Vesting Date, 75% of the vesting Performance Shares will be awarded as shares of Common Stock to the Participant per the payout

Page 2

percentages listed below when Valero’s TSR during the Performance Period falls within the following percentiles (“Percentiles”):



Ranking	Percentile	Payout
1	100.0%	200.0%
2	90.0%	200.0%
3	80.0%	175.0%
4	70.0%	150.0%
5	60.0%	125.0%
6	50.0%	100.0%
7	40.0%	75.0%
8	30.0%	50.0%
9	20.0%	25.0%
10	10.0%	0.0%
11	0.0%	0.0%

B.Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – 25% weighting. For the ROIC metric, Valero’s trailing three-year average ROIC will be determined at the end of each Performance Period. The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that Participant will be entitled to receive in settlement of the vested Performance Shares will be determined on each Normal Vesting Date. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, on such Normal Vesting Date, 25% of the vesting Performance Shares will be awarded as shares of Common Stock to the Participant per the payout percentages listed below based on Valero’s achievement of a three-year average ROIC per the following (straight-line interpolation will be used to determine shares for ROIC performance between the defined payout levels). The Target will be approved annually by the Committee.



			Payout
Maximum			200.0%
			150.0%
Target			100.0%
			50.0%
			0.0%

C.Energy Transition performance measure. After Valero’s TSR and ROIC performance has been determined, the resulting payout of shares of Common Stock will be subject to an increase or decrease of 25 percentage points, hereafter referred to as the “Energy Transition performance measure.”

(i)The Energy Transition performance measure has two equally weighted components (12.5 percentage points each): (1) Valero’s annual progress versus a target in achieving Valero’s publicly announced greenhouse gas emissions absolute reduction/offset target, and (2) the percentage of Valero’s growth capital expenditures deployed for low-carbon initiatives versus an annual target. All such targets shall be approved annually by the Committee.

(ii)If Valero meets or exceeds the targets for each of the Energy Transition performance components, the aggregate payout percentage for the Performance Period will be

Page 3

increased by 25 percentage points (e.g., a score of 125% would be increased by 25 points to 150%), subject at all times to a maximum payout cap of 200%. If, however, Valero does not meet the targets for each of the Energy Transition performance components, then the aggregate payout percentage for the Performance Period will be reduced by 25 percentage points (e.g., a score of 125% would be reduced by 25 points to 100%). Meeting the target for one of the Energy Transition performance components but not the other results in a modifier of zero, and therefore does not alter the aggregate performance score.

D.Example of Vesting and Payout. Assume that 12,000 Performance Shares are vesting on a Normal Vesting Date. Assume the following for Valero’s performance:

•TSR achievement at 80th percentile earning a 175% payout.

•ROIC performance at Target earning a 100% payout.

•Energy Transition performance meets each metric’s target, thus earning an additional 25 percentage points.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:


	perf sh				common sh
Maximum	12,000			200%	24,000

TSR	12,000	75%	9,000	175%	15,750
ROIC	12,000	25%	3,000	100%	3,000
Energy Transition	12,000			25%	3,000
Total shares of Common Stock					21,750

E.Unearned Shares. Any Performance Shares not awarded as shares of Common Stock on a Normal Vesting Date will expire and be forfeited; such Performance Shares may not be carried forward for any additional Performance Period.

5.Dividend Equivalent Award. In addition to the Performance Shares granted in Section 1, the Participant is granted a Dividend Equivalent Award payable in shares of Common Stock, as provided herein. On each Normal Vesting Date (or Trigger Date, defined below), the amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the applicable Performance Period shall be determined with respect to the Participant’s Performance Shares that are vesting on that Normal Vesting Date — calculated as if the Performance Shares were outstanding shares of Common Stock (the resulting value being hereafter referred to as the “Target Dividend Equivalent Value” or “TDEV”). The TDEV is equal to (a) the number of Performance Shares vesting, times (b) the amount of accumulated dividends per share during the Performance Period.

The number of shares of Common Stock payable to Participant with respect to the Dividend Equivalent Award is equal to (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is equal to the TDEV times the aggregate payout percentage applicable to all performance metrics for the Performance Period; and

(2) is equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

Such shares of Common Stock shall be distributed to Participant contemporaneously with the distribution of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 4. See Exhibit A for an example of this calculation.

Page 4

6.Termination of Employment.

A.Voluntary Termination, Termination for “Cause,” and Early Retirement. If Participant’s employment is

(i)voluntarily terminated by the Participant (other than through retirement at age 60+, death or disability), including termination in connection with Participant’s voluntary early retirement (i.e., prior to age 60),

(ii)terminated by Valero for “cause” (as defined pursuant to the Plan),

then those Performance Shares that are outstanding and have not vested as of the effective date of termination shall thereupon be forfeited.

B.Retirement. If a Participant’s employment is terminated through his or her retirement when the Participant is age 60 or older, then any Performance Shares that (i) have not theretofore vested or been forfeited, and (ii) were granted at least one year prior to the Participant’s effective date of retirement, shall continue to remain outstanding and shall vest on the Normal Vesting Dates according to their original vesting schedule.

But any outstanding Performance Shares that were granted within one year of such Participant’s effective date of retirement shall be prorated based on the number of months worked from the date of grant to the Participant’s retirement date (rounding upward), and the prorated number of Performance Shares shall thereafter vest on the Normal Vesting Dates according to their original vesting schedule, and shall be distributed at the time(s) provided for under Section 2.C. above. Example:

•7,460 Performance Shares granted on February 26, 2020,

•Participant retires at age 60+ effective July 31, 2020,

•working period is calculated as 6 months (5 full months plus partial month rounding upward to 6 months),

•original grant is adjusted by 6/12ths (50%) resulting in 3,730 Performance Shares to vest according to their original vesting schedule.

C.Death, Disability, Involuntary Termination Other Than for “Cause,” and Change of Control. If a Participant’s employment is terminated (i) through death or disability, or (ii) by Valero other than for cause (as determined pursuant to the Plan), or (iii) as a result of a Change of Control (as described in the Plan) (each of the foregoing is hereafter referred to as a “Trigger Date”), then each Performance Period with respect to any Performance Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall be terminated effective as of such Trigger Date. The (i) TSR for Valero and for each company in the Target Group and (ii) Valero’s ROIC percentage, shall be determined for each such shortened Performance Period and the percentage of Performance Shares to be awarded as shares of Common Stock for each such shortened Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with Section 4 and Section 5 and shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, and in any event within 90 days following such termination of employment.

(i)For purposes of determining the number of Performance Shares to be received as of any Trigger Date, the Target Group as most recently determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the Trigger Date shall be used.

Page 5

(ii)If the Trigger Date is the result of a Change of Control, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded to the Participant shall be prorated commensurate with the length of service of the Participant during each Performance Period. See Exhibit B for an example of this calculation.

7.Cash Payment Election. Effective on any Normal Vesting Date (or Trigger Date under Section 6.C.), the Participant (or the Participant’s estate under Section 6.C) may elect to receive up to 50% of the after-tax value of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock earned on such Normal Vesting Date (or Trigger Date) in cash, with the remainder paid in shares of Common Stock. Example:

•following the calculation of Valero’s performance against the TSR and ROIC metrics for the two-year performance period ending December 31, 2021, it is determined that the Participant is entitled to receive 8,000 shares of Common Stock on the Normal Vesting Date occurring in January 2022 (the “2022 Normal Vesting Date”),

•assume that the 8,000 shares have an aggregate tax value of $600,000 (8,000 shares times an assumed $75 FMV per share on the 2022 Normal Vesting Date), and the Participant has made a tax withholding election of 39.6%,

•the after-tax value of the 8,000 shares of Common Stock awarded on the 2022 Normal Vesting Date is $362,400 ($600,000 times 60.4%),

•the Participant may elect to receive up to $181,200 ($362,400 times 50%) in cash on the 2022 Normal Vesting Date.

8.Plan Incorporated by Reference. The Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and is made a part hereof for all purposes. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.

9.No Assignment. This Agreement and the Participant’s interest in the Performance Shares granted by this Agreement are of a personal nature, and, except as expressly permitted under the Plan, Participant’s rights with respect thereto may not be sold, mortgaged, pledged, assigned, transferred, conveyed or disposed of in any manner by Participant, except by an executor or beneficiary pursuant to a will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted sale, mortgage, pledge, assignment, transfer, conveyance or disposition is void, and Valero will not be bound thereby.

10.Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and supersedes all provisions and concepts contained in all prior contracts or agreements between the Participant and Valero, including that certain Change of Control Severance Agreement (“COC Agreement”) between Participant and Valero. For avoidance of doubt, Participant acknowledges that in the context of a Change of Control of Valero, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over the terms of the COC Agreement with respect to the vesting of the Performance Shares granted under this Agreement.

11.Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors of Valero and upon the beneficiaries, legatees, heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of Participant.

Page 6

12.Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply, and shall be administered consistently in all respects, with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and additional guidance promulgated thereunder to the extent applicable. Accordingly, Valero shall have the authority to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to this Agreement that is reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A (provided that Valero shall choose the action that best preserves the value of payments and benefits provided to Participant under this Agreement that is consistent with Code Section 409A), and the parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing:

(a)in no event may Participant designate, directly or indirectly, the calendar year of any payment to be made hereunder;

(b)to the extent the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, payments, if any, that constitute a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A and that would otherwise become due during the first six months following Participant’s termination of employment shall be delayed and all such delayed payments shall be paid in full in the seventh month after such termination date, provided that the above delay shall not apply to any payment that is excepted from coverage by Code Section 409A, such as a payment covered by the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4);

(c)notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a termination, resignation or retirement of Participant’s employment hereunder shall mean and be interpreted consistent with a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A;

(d)terms defined in this section will have the meanings given such terms under Section 409A if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Valero makes no representations or warranties and will have no liability to Participant or any other person if any provision of or payment under this Agreement is determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but does not satisfy the conditions of Section 409A.

Amended and restated effective as of February 23, 2021.

Exhibit A

Example of Potential Payout of Dividend Equivalent Award in Shares of Common Stock

(per Section 5 of the Agreement)

Assumptions and Calculations (for illustration purposes only):

1.Assume the Participant was granted 36,000 Performance Shares on February 26, 2020.

2.Assume the Normal Vesting Date for the second segment of these Performance Shares is January 22, 2022. On that date 12,000 Performance Shares (36,000 / 3 = 12,000) vest with respect to the two-year Performance Period ending December 31, 2021.

3.Assume the cumulative amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the eight quarters of the Performance Period is $7.52 per share.

4.The “Target Dividend Equivalent Value” (“TDEV”) is $90,240 (12,000 Performance Shares vesting, multiplied by $7.52 accumulated dividends per share).

5.Valero’s performance scores for the Performance Period are the following:


	perf sh				common sh
TSR	12,000	75%	9,000	175%	15,750
ROIC	12,000	25%	3,000	100%	3,000
Energy Transition	12,000			25%	3,000
Total shares of Common Stock					21,750
effective payout rate					181.25%

6.The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date is $75.00.

7.Based on the foregoing, the total number of shares of Common Stock earned by the Participant for the Dividend Equivalent Award is 2,181 shares (rounded up from 2,180.8). The calculation is illustrated below as (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is $163,560, calculated as $90,240 (TDEV) times 181.25% (effective payout rate); and

(2) is $75.00, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

Exhibit B

Example of Potential Payout in a Change of Control Context

(per Section 6.C.(ii) of the Agreement)

Assumptions and Calculations (for illustration purposes only):

1.Assume the Participant was granted 36,000 Performance Shares on February 26, 2020.

2.Assume Participant’s employment is terminated on June 30, 2021 as a result of a Change of Control.

3.Per Section 6.C. of the Agreement, all Performance Periods for all segments (Second Segment, Third Segment (See Section 3)) are shortened to end on June 30, 2021.

4.The first tranche of Performance Shares (12,000) vested on Jan. 26, 2021, resulting in 24,000 Performance Shares subject to vesting during the shortened Performance Periods.

5.Valero’s effective aggregate payout rate for all metrics for each shortened Performance Period is 150%.

6.Assume the cumulative amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the 18-month shortened Performance Period is $5.88 per share. Therefore, the “Target Dividend Equivalent Value” (“TDEV”) is $141,120 (24,000 Performance Shares vesting, multiplied by $5.88 accumulated dividends per share).

7.Based on the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock earned by the Participant for the Dividend Equivalent Award (DEA) is 2,823 shares (rounded up from 2,822.4). The calculation is illustrated below as (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is $211,680, calculated as $141,120 (TDEV) times 150%; and

(2) is $75.00, the assumed Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

8.Payout of common shares to the Participant is prorated based on the Participant’s length of service during the original Performance Periods.

First Segment calculation.

n/a, as first tranche vested on Jan. 26, 2021.

Second Segment calculation.

36,000 / 3 = 12,000 performance shares.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•12,000 x 150% payout = 18,000 common shares

Prorate for 18 months of service in the 24-month Performance Period.


18,000 common shares x 18/24 =						13,500			common shares

Third Segment calculation.

36,000 / 3 = 12,000 performance shares.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•12,000 x 150% payout = 18,000 common shares

Prorate for 18 months of service in the 36-month Performance Period.


18,000 common shares x 18/36 =	9,000	common shares

Add DEA shares	2,823	common shares

Total	25,323	common shares

Exhibit B

Exhibit 10.02

PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENT

This Performance Share Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Valero Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Valero”), and [_________], a participant (the “Participant”) in Valero’s 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended, the “Plan”), is entered into pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Plan, to set forth the terms and conditions of the award of Performance Shares granted to Participant as of February 23, 2021.

2.Vesting and Delivery of Shares.

A.Vesting. The Performance Shares granted hereunder shall vest over a period of three years in equal, one-third increments with the first increment vesting on the date of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board’s Compensation Committee in January 2022, and the second and third increments vesting on the Committee’s meeting dates in January 2023 and January 2024, respectively (each of these vesting dates is referred to as a “Normal Vesting Date”); any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such vesting are subject to the Compensation Committee’s verification of attainment of the Performance Objectives described in Section 4 below. If the Committee is unable to meet in January of a given year, then the Normal Vesting Date for that year will be a date not later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the year as selected by the Compensation Committee.

A.First Segment. The Performance Period for the first one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2022) shall be the calendar year ending on December 31, 2021.

B.Second Segment. The Performance Period for the second one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2023) shall be the two calendar years ending December 31, 2022.

C.Third Segment. The Performance Period for the final one-third vesting of Performance Shares (those vesting on the Normal Vesting Date in January 2024) shall be the three calendar years ending December 31, 2023.

Page 1

4.Performance Objectives. On each Normal Vesting Date, Valero’s performance will be measured against Valero’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to its peers. Following the determination of Valero’s ranking with respect to TSR, the payout percentage (described below) will be subject to an increase or decrease based on Valero’s performance against the Energy Transition measures described below.

A.Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

(ii)For each Performance Period, the TSR for Valero and each company in the Target Group shall be arranged by rank from highest performer to lowest performer according to the TSR achieved by each company. Shares of Common Stock will be awarded to Participant in accordance with Valero’s percentile ranking within the Target Group. The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that Participant will be entitled to receive in settlement of the vested Performance Shares will be determined on each Normal Vesting Date, and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, on such Normal Vesting Date, the vesting Performance Shares will be awarded as shares of Common Stock to the Participant per the payout percentages listed below when Valero’s TSR during the Performance Period falls within the following percentiles (“Percentiles”):



Ranking	Percentile	Payout
1	100.0%	200.0%
2	90.0%	200.0%
3	80.0%	175.0%
4	70.0%	150.0%
5	60.0%	125.0%
6	50.0%	100.0%
7	40.0%	75.0%
8	30.0%	50.0%
9	20.0%	25.0%
10	10.0%	0.0%
11	0.0%	0.0%

Page 2

B.Energy Transition performance measure. After Valero’s TSR performance has been determined, the resulting payout percentage score will be subject to an increase or decrease of 25 percentage points, hereafter referred to as the “Energy Transition performance measure.”

(ii)If Valero meets or exceeds the targets for each of the Energy Transition performance components, Valero’s TSR score will be increased by 25 percentage points (e.g., a TSR score of 125% would be increased by 25 points to 150%), subject at all times to a maximum payout cap of 200%. If, however, Valero does not meet the targets for each of the Energy Transition performance components, then Valero’s TSR score will be reduced by 25 percentage points (e.g., a TSR score of 125% would be reduced by 25 points to 100%). Meeting the target for one of the Energy Transition performance components but not the other results in a modifier of zero, and therefore does not alter the TSR score.

C.Example of Vesting and Payout. Assume that 12,000 Performance Shares are vesting on a Normal Vesting Date. Assume the following for Valero’s performance:

•TSR achievement at 70th percentile (150% payout).

•Energy Transition assessment results in Valero meeting each metric’s target (+25 percentage points).

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•150% (TSR) plus 25% points (Energy Transition) = 175%

•175% x 12,000 performance shares = 21,000 shares of Common Stock

D.Unearned Shares. Any Performance Shares not awarded as shares of Common Stock on a Normal Vesting Date will expire and be forfeited; such Performance Shares may not be carried forward for any additional Performance Period.

Page 3

The number of shares of Common Stock payable to Participant with respect to the Dividend Equivalent Award is equal to (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is equal to:

(a) TDEV times (b) the TSR percentage payout plus or minus any Energy Transition measure adjustment; and

(2) is equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

6.Termination of Employment.

A.Voluntary Termination, Termination for “Cause,” and Early Retirement. If Participant’s employment is

(ii)terminated by Valero for “cause” (as defined pursuant to the Plan),

then those Performance Shares that are outstanding and have not vested as of the effective date of termination shall thereupon be forfeited.

•9,780 Performance Shares granted on February 23, 2021,

•Participant retires at age 60+ effective July 31, 2021,

•working period is calculated as 6 months (5 full months plus partial month rounding upward to 6 months),

•original grant is adjusted by 6/12ths (50%) resulting in 4,890 Performance Shares to vest according to their original vesting schedule.

Page 4

Period and the percentage of Performance Shares to be awarded as shares of Common Stock for each such shortened Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with Section 4 and Section 5 and shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, and in any event within 90 days following such termination of employment.

•following the calculation of Valero’s performance for the two-year performance period ending December 31, 2022, it is determined that the Participant is entitled to receive 8,000 shares of Common Stock on the Normal Vesting Date occurring in January 2023 (the “2023 Normal Vesting Date”),

•assume that the 8,000 shares have an aggregate tax value of $600,000 (8,000 shares times an assumed $75 FMV per share on the 2023 Normal Vesting Date), and the Participant has made a tax withholding election of 39.6%,

•the after-tax value of the 8,000 shares of Common Stock awarded on the 2023 Normal Vesting Date is $362,400 ($600,000 times 60.4%),

•the Participant may elect to receive up to $181,200 ($362,400 times 50%) in cash on the 2023 Normal Vesting Date.

Page 5

Valero, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over the terms of the COC Agreement with respect to the vesting of the Performance Shares granted under this Agreement.

(a)in no event may Participant designate, directly or indirectly, the calendar year of any payment to be made hereunder;

Exhibit A

Example of Potential Payout of Dividend Equivalent Award in Shares of Common Stock

(per Section 5 of the Agreement)

Assumptions and Calculations (for illustration purposes only):

1.Assume the Participant was granted 36,000 Performance Shares on February 23, 2021.

2.Assume the Normal Vesting Date for the second segment of these Performance Shares is January 24, 2023. On that date 12,000 Performance Shares (36,000 / 3 = 12,000) vest with respect to the two-year Performance Period ending December 31, 2022.

3.Assume the cumulative amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the eight quarters of the Performance Period is $7.52 per share.

4.The “Target Dividend Equivalent Value” (“TDEV”) is $90,240 (12,000 Performance Shares vesting, multiplied by $7.52 accumulated dividends per share).

5.Valero’s TSR ranking for the Performance Period is determined (per Section 4.A) to generate a payout of 150%.

6.Valero’s Energy Transition performance is determined (per Section 4.B.) to generate an increase to the payout of 25 percentage points to a total payout percentage of 175%.

7.The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date is $75.00.

8.Based on the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock earned by the Participant for the Dividend Equivalent Award is 2,106 shares (rounded up from 2,105.6). The calculation is illustrated below as (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is $157,920, calculated as $90,240 (TDEV) times 175% (150% TSR score + 25% Energy Transition performance adjustment); and

(2) is $75.00, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Example of Potential Payout in a Change of Control Context

(per Section 6.C.(ii) of the Agreement)

Assumptions and Calculations (for illustration purposes only):

1.Assume the Participant was granted 36,000 Performance Shares on February 23, 2021.

2.Assume Participant’s employment is terminated on June 30, 2021 as a result of a Change of Control.

3.Per Section 6.C. of the Agreement, all Performance Periods for all segments (First Segment, Second Segment, Third Segment (See Section 3)) are shortened to end on June 30, 2021.

4.Valero’s TSR ranking for each shortened Performance Period is determined to generate a payout of 150%.

5.Valero’s Energy Transition performance for each shortened Performance Period is determined to generate an adjustment of an increase of 25 percentage points for a total payout of 175%.

6.Assume the cumulative amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the 6-month shortened Performance Period is $1.96 per share. Therefore, the “Target Dividend Equivalent Value” (“TDEV”) is $70,560 (36,000 Performance Shares vesting, multiplied by $1.96 accumulated dividends per share).

7.Based on the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock earned by the Participant for the Dividend Equivalent Award is 1,647 shares (rounded up from 1,646.4). The calculation is illustrated below as (1) divided by (2), where:

(1) is $123,480, calculated as $70,560 (TDEV) times 175% (150% TSR score + 25% Energy Transition performance adjustment); and

(2) is $75.00, the assumed Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the vesting date.

8.Payout of common shares to the Participant is prorated based on the Participant’s length of service during the original Performance Periods.

First Segment calculation.

36,000 / 3 = 12,000 performance shares.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•12,000 x 175% payout = 21,000 common shares

Prorate for 6 months of service in the 12-month Performance Period.


21,000 common shares x 6/12 =						10,500			common shares

Second Segment calculation.

36,000 / 3 = 12,000 performance shares.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•12,000 x 175% payout = 21,000 common shares

Prorate for 6 months of service in the 24-month Performance Period.


21,000 common shares x 6/24 =						5,250			common shares

Third Segment calculation.

36,000 / 3 = 12,000 performance shares.

Calculation of shares of Common Stock to be awarded for Valero performance:

•12,000 x 175% payout = 21,000 common shares

Prorate for 6 months of service in the 36-month Performance Period.


21,000 common shares x 6/36 =	3,500	common shares

Add DEA shares	1,647	common shares

Total	20,897	common shares
