Refiner HollyFrontier Corp. (NYSE: HFC) reported fourth quarter and full year earnings this morning, and the results are mixed.

For the full year, EPS totaled $6.42, slightly off the consensus estimate of $6.46, and revenues totaled $15.4 billion versus an estimate of $15.6 billion.
HollyFrontier benefited from an average differential of $18.33/barrel at its Rocky Mountain refineries and differentials of $14.71/barrel and $14.76/barrel at its Midwest and Southwest refineries, respectively.
