Refining & Marketing (R&M)

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 billion in the second quarter of 2024, versus $3.2 billion for the second quarter of 2023. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $7.07 per barrel for the second quarter of 2024, versus $11.88 per barrel for the second quarter of 2023. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $183 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $392 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by lower market crack spreads.

R&M margin was $17.37 per barrel for the second quarter of 2024, versus $22.10 per barrel for the second quarter of 2023. Crude capacity utilization was approximately 97%, resulting in total throughput of 3.1 million barrels per day for the second quarter of 2024.

Refining operating costs per barrel were $4.97 for the second quarter of 2024, versus $5.15 for the second quarter of 2023.

Midstream

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2024, versus $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2023. The results were primarily driven by higher rates, higher volumes, and contributions from recently acquired assets.

Corporate and Items Not Allocated

Corporate expenses totaled $223 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared with $183 million in the second quarter of 2023. The variance was primarily driven by $30 million of expense related to the decommissioning of non-operating assets.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital

As of June 30, 2024, MPC had $8.5 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and $5 billion available on its bank revolving credit facility.

In the second quarter, the company returned approximately $3.2 billion of capital to shareholders through $2.9 billion of share repurchases and $290 million of dividends. Through July 31, the company repurchased an additional $0.9 billion of company shares. The company currently has $5.8 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

Strategic and Operations Update

MPC’s 2024 capital spending plan includes high return investments at its Los Angeles and Galveston Bay refineries. In addition to these multi-year investments, the company is executing on shorter-term projects that offer high returns targeted at enhancing refinery yields, improving energy efficiency, and lowering costs.

MPLX is advancing growth projects anchored in the Permian and Marcellus basins. MPLX’s integrated footprints in these basins have positioned the partnership with a steady source of opportunities to expand its value chains. In the Utica, gathering and processing volumes continue to grow, inclusive of the assets acquired in March 2024.

In the third quarter, Preakness ll, a 200 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) processing plant located in the Permian, began operations. MPLX also acquired an additional 20% interest in the BANGL natural gas liquids pipeline. MPLX and its partners in the Whistler Pipeline joint venture announced the FID on the Blackcomb natural gas pipeline, connecting the Permian to domestic and export markets along the Gulf Coast.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to MPC and Adjusted Diluted Income Per Share

Adjusted net income attributable to MPC is defined as net income attributable to MPC excluding the items in the table below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted diluted income per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to MPC divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.

We believe the use of adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share provides us and our investors with important measures of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC or adjusted diluted income per share should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to net income attributable to MPC, diluted net income per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted diluted income per share	$	4.12	$	5.32	$	6.67	$	11.44

(a)Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were calculated by applying a federal statutory rate and a blended state tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments after non-controlling interest. The corresponding adjustments to reported income taxes are shown in the table above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Amounts included in net income (loss) attributable to MPC and excluded from adjusted EBITDA include (i) net interest and other financial costs; (ii) provision/benefit for income taxes; (iii) noncontrolling interests; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) refining planned turnaround costs and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary, as shown in the table below. We believe excluding turnaround costs from this metric is useful for comparability to other companies as certain of our competitors defer these costs and amortize them between turnarounds.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and operating results of our ongoing business operations. Additionally, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing and benchmarking our operating results from period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to income (loss) from operations, net income attributable to MPC, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Refining & Marketing Margin

Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products. We use and believe our investors use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our Refining & Marketing segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, Refining & Marketing gross margin or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
