Previous wording

During the second quarter of 2025, the price of crude oil decreased relative to first quarter of 2025, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread narrowed due to low inventory levels. Industry refining margins improved in the second quarter of 2025, driven by strong seasonal demand.

Current wording

During the third quarter of 2025, the price of crude oil increased slightly relative to second quarter of 2025, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread remained relatively flat with the second quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

During 2025, the United States announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Certain tariffs were paused for a period of time but have not been withdrawn, while others have been revised. The global trade environment continues to be volatile. The likelihood of the United States, Canada or their trading partners resuming tariffs, imposing new or revised reciprocal tariffs, export restrictions, or other forms of trade-related sanctions is highly uncertain. Additionally, significant uncertainty exists as to what effects these actions will ultimately have on Imperial, its suppliers and its customers. The company continually monitors the global trade environment and works to mitigate potential impacts.
