 financial condition remain uncertain at the time of filing this report.

Our business could be adversely impacted as a result of our failure to retain or attract key talent.

Our failure to retain or attract key talent with specific capabilities could interfere with our ability to execute on strategic transformation implementations, and could diminish our ability to execute and integrate strategic transactions. As a result, our ability to remain competitive in our industry sector and/or to operate effectively could be adversely impacted.

Evolving employee preferences and values, inflationary pressures, shortages in the labor market, increased employee turnover, and changes in the availability of workers could make it more difficult to retain or attract key talent and could increase labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Additionally, our labor costs include the cost of providing employee benefits. Inflation, and other factors, could increase the costs of providing such benefits. Failure, or any perceived failure to provide such benefits, could impact our competitive position, which could in turn negatively affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors

We have capital needs to finance our crude oil and refined products inventory for which our internally generated cash flows or other sources of liquidity may not be adequate.

In December 2022, we entered into an Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citi (the "Inventory Intermediation Agreement") in which Citi purchases a substantial portion of the crude oil and refined products for three of our refineries' inventory at market prices. We are obligated to repurchase from Citi all volumes upon expiration or earlier termination of this agreement, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, working capital and financial condition. Termination of our Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citi, which is scheduled to expire in January 2027, would require us to finance the products covered by the agreement at terms that may not be favorable. The availability of capital will depend upon several factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, if we are not able to sell our finished products to creditworthy customers, then we may be subject to delays in the collection of our accounts receivable and exposure to additional credit risk. If we cannot obtain sufficient capital, when the need arises, then we may be unable to execute our long-term operating strategy. 

Our insurance policies historically do not cover all losses, costs or liabilities that we may experience, and insurance companies that currently insure companies in the energy industry may cease to do so or substantially increase premiums
