Operational Update
Current report
Our Wyoming refinery experienced an operational incident on the evening of February 12, 2025, and remained safely idled during repair and recovery work through the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The 47 days of idle time impacted comparability between the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.
Current report
Economic Update
Current report
The U.S. has adopted new and increased tariffs on countries and specific goods, subject to evolving exemptions, with additional tariff increases proposed but currently on pause. Those policies, along with retaliatory actions by some trading partners and ongoing negotiations around trade policy, have led to increased volatility and unpredictability for global trade.
Current report
(3)Beginning in 2025, we established the Hawaii Index as a new benchmark for our Hawaii operations. We believe the Hawaii Index, which incorporates market cracks and landed crude differentials, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Hawaii refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. The Hawaii Index is calculated as the Singapore 3.1.2 Product Crack, or one part gasoline (RON 92) and two parts distillates (Sing Jet & Sing gasoil) as created from a barrel of Brent crude oil, less the Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR”) crude differential.
Current report
(4)Beginning in 2025, we established the Montana Index as a new benchmark for our Montana refinery. We believe the Montana Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Montana refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Montana refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Montana Index is calculated as the Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack less Montana crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense, taxes and tariffs, and product discounts. The Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking three parts gasoline (Billings E10 and Spokane E10), two parts distillate (Billings ULSD and Spokane ULSD), and one part asphalt (Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Montana crude cost is calculated as 60% WCS differential to WTI, 20% MSW differential to WTI, and 20% Syncrude differential to WTI. The Montana crude cost is lagged by three months and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
Current report
(5)Beginning in 2025, we established the Washington Index as a new benchmark for our Washington refinery. We believe the Washington Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Washington refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Washington refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Washington Index is calculated as the Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack, less Washington crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense and state and local taxes. The Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Tacoma E10), one part distillate (Tacoma ULSD) and one part secondary products (USGC VGO and Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Washington crude cost is calculated as 67% Bakken Williston differential to WTI and 33% WCS Hardisty differential to WTI. The Washington crude cost is lagged by one month and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
Current report
(6)Beginning in 2025, we established the Wyoming Index as a new benchmark for our Wyoming refinery. We believe the Wyoming Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Wyoming refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have also been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Wyoming refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Wyoming Index is calculated as the Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack, less Wyoming crude costs, less other cost of sales, including inflation adjusted product delivery costs and yield loss expense, based on historical averages and management’s estimates. The Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Rockies gasoline) and one part distillate (USGC ULSD and USGC Jet) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. The Wyoming crude cost is calculated as the Bakken Guernsey differential to WTI on a one-month lag.
Current report
(7)Beginning in 2025, we established the Combined Index as a new benchmark for our refining segment. The Combined Index provides a wholistic view of key drivers impacting our refining segment’s financial performance and is calculated as the throughput-weighted average of each regional index for periods under our ownership.
Current report
(8)Beginning in 2025, crude oil prices have been updated and expanded to reflect regional differentials to Brent and WTI, which better reflect our refineries’ feedstock costs compared to prior crude oil pricing.
Current report
Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2024, we have modified our definition of Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to align the accounting treatment for deferred turnaround costs from our refining and logistics investments with our accounting policy. Under this approach, we exclude our share of their turnaround expenses, which are recorded as period costs in their financial statements, and instead defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the period estimated until the next planned turnaround. This modification enhances consistency and comparability across reporting periods.

Crude oil pricing decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Brent crude oil pricing averaged $78.71 per barrel in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $85.92 per barrel in the third quarter of 2023. Average U.S. retail gasoline prices remained relatively stable from $3.69 per gallon in 2023 to $3.51 per gallon in 2024. Refined product crack spreads decreased in 2024 as compared to 2023. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) in its September 2024 short term energy outlook forecasts average Brent crude oil pricing of $84 per barrel in 2025 due to strong global inventory draws in the first half of 2024 driven by less Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) production. In addition, the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) reduced its forecast for global oil demand in 2024 and 2025 in its October report. This is primarily driven by reduced demand in China. In 2023, OPEC announced several voluntary production cuts. Russia announced on February 10, 2023, that it would cut its oil production by 500,000 barrels a day (5% of its output), in response to imposed sanctions on the country’s oil trade. In June 2023, OPEC extended oil output cuts of 3.66 million barrels a day, or about 5% of daily global demand, until the end of 2024, including a Russian cut in oil exports of 300,000 barrels a day until the end of 2023. In November 2023, OPEC announced additional voluntary production cuts of 1.7 million barrels a day, thus totaling about 2.2 million barrels a day, from January through March 2024. On March 3, 2024, OPEC announced an extension of its November 2023 voluntary production cut through June 2024, driving down supply, as demand increased due to spring and summer travel seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. On June 2, 2024, OPEC agreed to extend the latest cut of 2.2 million barrels a day until the end of September and gradually phase it out from October on a monthly basis. Additionally, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Red Sea region continued to escalate in 2024 putting upward pressure on prices. The overall effect of these conflicts and associated actions taken to limit the purchase of Russian petroleum products impacted freight movements and raised the operating costs of many European and other refineries. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation. The overall energy price index increased 3.4% year over year as of September 30, 2024. While inflation has increased relative to the prior year, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in 2024. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information.
Current wording
Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation. Crude oil pricing decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Brent crude oil pricing averaged $74.98 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $81.76 per barrel in the first quarter of 2024. Average U.S. retail gasoline prices decreased to $2.99 per gallon in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $3.24 per gallon in the first quarter of 2024. The overall energy price index increased 4.2% year over year as of March 31, 2025. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) in its April 2025 short term energy outlook forecasts average Brent crude oil pricing to decrease to $68 per barrel in 2025 and $61 per barrel in 2026 due to increased global oil inventories driven by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) reversing production cuts and weak global demand growth. On March 5, 2025, OPEC agreed to gradually increase oil production, starting in April 2025, after a period of voluntary output cuts, with the plan being to reverse the 2.2 million barrels per day cuts over an 18-month period. On April 3, 2025, OPEC agreed to phase out oil output cuts by increasing output by 411,000 barrels per day beginning in May 2025. While inflation has increased relative to the prior year, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in the first quarter of 2025.
