惠譽評級調整PBF Holding Company展望至負面

惠譽評級機構將PBF Holding Company LLC(PBFH)的展望從穩定調整為負面,主要原因是公司結構性總負債增加及潛在的流動性壓力。儘管展望轉為負面,惠譽仍然確認該公司的長期發行者違約評級為“BB”。此外,惠譽還對該公司新提議的無擔保高級票據賦予了“BB”的發行級評級,並給予其回收評級“RR4”。

此次展望的調整反映了對PBFH財務政策不夠保守及短期負債增加的擔憂。這些擔憂因煉油市場的不確定性和馬丁內斯火災的後果而加劇。

惠譽指出影響評級的關鍵因素,包括PBFH強大的地理多元化以及其有效管理可再生識別號(RIN)負債的策略。然而,該公司在非煉油業務上的多元化程度較低,煉油行業條件波動,以及關稅對煉油利潤的潛在影響,加上其成本結構高於同行,這些都抵消了上述優勢。

惠譽對因無擔保票據交易導致的結構性總負債增加表示擔憂。惠譽預測PBFH的EBITDA負債比率在中期內將持續超出敏感度範圍。該機構承認該公司已採取措施改善流動性狀況,並且管理層對於在市場條件改善時減少總負債的積極表態。

二月在馬丁內斯煉油廠發生的火災為PBFH帶來重大運營挑戰。公司預計該煉油廠將在2025年第四季度全面運營。無法利用夏季駕駛旺季將減少PBFH在2025年的現金流生成。

PBFH的煉油廠相較於同行擁有較高的成本結構,歷史上在行業低迷期間導致表現不佳和更大的現金流赤字。預計利潤在2024年大幅下降,但在2025年初有望有所改善。

惠譽預計,由於多個設備大修和馬丁內斯煉油廠的火災,2025年的資本支出將略為增加。PBF Energy(NYSE:PBF)預計將保持穩定的股息,這得益於PBF Logistics(NYSE:PBFX)所產生的充足資金。管理層表示,在公司觀察到現金生成改善的情況下,將優先考慮減少負債,而非回饋股東。

PBFH在RIN和加州的限額交易計劃方面的義務在短期內被視為可控。該公司計劃RIN的周轉周期為兩至四個月,並通過與聖伯納德合資企業的合作獲益於RIN的購買。

PBFH的標稱通過能力為1,023,000桶/日,與同行Delek US Holdings(NYSE:DK,BB-/穩定)302,000桶/日和CVR Energy(NYSE:CVI,B+/穩定)207,000桶/日相比表現良好。PBFH的煉油業務在地理上也相當多元化,涵蓋了PADD I、II、III及V地區。

截至2024年12月31日,PBFH手頭現金為5.15億美元。其35億美元的資產基礎循環信貸設施預計在無擔保票據交易結束後將不會被動用。該公司還持有到期日為2028年和2030年的無擔保高級票據,此外還有新的提議無擔保高級票據。其循環信貸設施將於2028年到期。

PBF Holding Company LLC擁有並運營的煉油廠及相關資產的總通過能力為1,023,000桶/日。該公司的煉油廠在PADD I、PADD II、PADD III及PADD V地區地理上分佈均衡。

評論與分析

這一評級的調整無疑對PBFH的未來發展構成挑戰,尤其是在當前全球能源市場變化多端的背景下。公司雖然具備一定的地理多元化優勢,但若無法有效應對流動性壓力及成本高企的問題,未來的增長潛力將受到限制。面對煉油行業的高風險和不確定性,PBFH需要加強其財務政策的保守性,並制定更為靈活的應對策略,以確保在市場波動中能夠穩定運行。

此外,馬丁內斯煉油廠的火災帶來的挑戰不容小覷,這不僅影響了短期的現金流,還可能對公司的長期發展造成更深遠的影響。在未來的經營中,PBFH應當更加重視其風險管理及應急應對能力,以減少類似事件對業務的衝擊。

Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A female model with sharp features, defined cheekbones, and intense, direct eye contact (though eyes are slightly in shadow from the hat).
• Aesthetic: Vintage fashion, Pin-up, 1950s/1960s style, high-glamour, summer resort wear.
• Lighting: Bright, harsh sunlight creating high contrast and crisp shadows. The light should perfectly illuminate the skin and the vibrant colors of the dress.
• Color Palette: Dominated by vibrant yellow, crisp white, and bold red, accented by deep black.
Specific Outfit & Details:
• Dress: A bright yellow halter-neck sundress with a classic white polka-dot pattern. It has a fitted, sweetheart neckline or bustier-style top that enhances the silhouette.
• Accessories:
• A very large, wide-brimmed sun hat in crisp white (or light straw/fabric) that casts a shadow over the upper face.
• A matching yellow polka-dot scarf tied closely around the neck (like an ascot or choker-style).
• Large, striking black statement earrings (circular, drop, or bead style).
• Bold red lipstick is a key feature, contrasting sharply with the yellow and white.
Technical/Camera Details:
• Shot: Close-up or medium-close-up portrait, focusing on the torso, neckline, face, and hat.
• Depth of Field: Shallow (low f-stop), with the model in sharp focus and the background slightly blurred (bokeh).
• Background: Out-of-focus, suggesting a bright outdoor location, with abstract shapes of boats/yachts (white and red accents visible) in a marina setting. A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.

The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.

Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.

The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.

The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.

Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.

Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.

Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.

Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness.
