Inflation. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation, and continued to increase interest rates in 2023, from near zero percent at the beginning of 2022 to a range of 5.25% to 5.5% in December 2023. These actions by the Fed acted to lower U.S. inflation rates, which have decreased 3.4% year over year as of the December inflation report released in January 2024. In 2023, the U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.52 per gallon, a decrease from gasoline price highs of approximately $5.01 per gallon in summer 2022. This decline was due, in part, to lower crude oil prices in 2023 compared to 2022 and higher gasoline inventories in the second half of 2023. The overall energy index decreased to negative 2.0% year over year as of December 2023. While inflation has improved relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2023. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Current wording

Inflation. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation. After aggressively raising interest rates in 2022 and early 2023 to bring down inflation, the Fed cut interest rates in 2024 in response to positive indicators of economic growth, including easing labor market conditions and lower inflation. Interest rates decreased to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% in December 2024 from 5.25% to 5.50% in December 2023. Crude oil pricing decreased in 2024 compared to 2023. Brent crude oil pricing averaged $79.86 per barrel in 2024 compared to $82.17 per barrel in 2023. The U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.30 per gallon in 2024 compared to $3.52 per gallon in 2023. This decline was due, in part, to lower crude oil prices in 2024 compared to 2023, as noted above, as well as lower global demand primarily driven by decreased demand in China. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) revised its forecast in its February 2025 Oil Market Report, which projected higher global oil demand in 2025 citing China, India, and other emerging Asian economies as the primary sources of growth. The overall energy index increased to 3.6% year over year as of December 2024. While inflation has improved relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2024. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Geopolitical Conflicts. Given the nature of our operations, including sourcing crude oil and feedstocks, geopolitical conflicts may affect our business and results of operations. The Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and Iranian activities in the Strait of Hormuz have all disrupted global trade patterns, increased crude oil price volatility, and increased freight costs and delivery times.

The overall effect of these conflicts and actions taken to limit the purchase of Russian petroleum products in response to the Russia-Ukraine war have raised the operating costs of many European and other refineries.
