The company will post a loss from discontinued operations of $63 million, or $0.12 per share, because of a charge related to its Aruba refinery.

Refining segment operating income is expected to be higher in the second quarter versus a year earlier due to higher volumes, as well as discounts on sour crude oil and certain types of North American light crude oil. These factors offset weaker gasoline and distillate margins.

In addition, Valero's ethanol segment operating income is expected to be higher on wider gross margins.

Valero traded recently at $49.93 per share, down nearly 3.06 percent.
