Current report
•the risk and uncertainties associated with the Martinez refinery fire, including our expectations with respect to the full restart of the Martinez refinery, our ability to procure necessary permits and equipment and materials required to rebuild the Martinez refinery, the timing of the restart of certain units damaged by the Martinez refinery fire, the throughput of the Martinez refinery during this period, estimated costs, the anticipated amount and timing of the remaining insurance recoveries related to the Martinez refinery fire, and the results and consequences of any governmental and regulatory investigations related to the Martinez refinery fire;
Current report
•the amount and the timing of cost savings and operational efficiencies to be achieved through our RBI initiative;
Current report
On February 1, 2025, the Martinez refinery fire occurred. As a result, the refinery was fully shut down until April 2025, when certain unaffected units, including the crude unit, were restarted and the refinery began producing limited quantities of gasoline, jet fuel, and intermediates. Investigations by various regulatory agencies are ongoing. Consequently, throughput volumes at the Martinez refinery in 2025 were significantly below 2024 levels.
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received unallocated insurance proceeds totaling $893.5 million, net of deductibles and retentions. As a result, we recognized $832.5 million as Gain on insurance recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. This amount is net of the $61.0 million receivable previously recorded at March 31, 2025, related to the recovery of the write-down of the net book value of the damaged refinery units and certain fire response costs.
Current report
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded operating expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire of approximately $163.7 million.
Current report
On September 30, 2025, through a subsidiary of PBFX, we closed on the sale of two non-core refined product terminal facilities located in Philadelphia, PA and Knoxville, TN, for $175.4 million, excluding commissions and customary closing costs. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $94.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included within Gain on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Current report
Costs Related to RBI Initiative
Current report
During 2025, we launched our RBI initiative as part of our ongoing strategic efforts to extract incremental value across our business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $29.6 million in expenses related to this initiative, which includes $4.7 million in severance charges recognized during the second quarter of 2025. These charges are reflected in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Current report
On March 17, 2025, we issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 9.875% Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $776.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds, to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
Current report
Excluding the impact of these special items, our results for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflected an overall increase in refining margins compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by favorable movements in crack spreads, partially offset by lower crude oil differentials, as well as lower throughput volumes and barrels sold at the majority of our refineries. In addition, the temporary shutdown of the Martinez refinery following the fire negatively impacted results due to lower and sub-optimal refinery yields for most of the year. Higher interest expense resulting from increased debt balances also weighed on earnings in 2025.
Current report
Gain on insurance recoveries, net— There was a gain on insurance recoveries of $832.5 million, associated with the Martinez refinery fire for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was net of the $61.0 million receivable that was recorded at March 31, 2025. There were no such gains for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement for inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the LIFO methodology, under which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market price is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. When the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between periods. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments is included in the Refining segment’s income from operations, but excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, to ensure comparability between periods.
Current report
PBF Energy LCM inventory adjustment - During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an adjustment to value our inventories to the LCM which decreased income from operations and net income by $313.0 million and $231.6 million, respectively. There were no such adjustments in any of the other periods presented.
Current report
Martinez refinery fire expenses- During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded operating expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire that decreased income from operations and net income by $163.7 million and $121.1 million, respectively. There were no such costs in any of the other periods presented.
Current report
Gain on insurance recoveries, net- During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a gain on insurance recoveries associated with the Martinez refinery fire that increased income from operations and net income by $832.5 million and $616.1 million, respectively.

Current report
Net cash used in operating activities was $78.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $43.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 included our net loss of $160.5 million. This amount reflects a gain on insurance recoveries of $832.5 million, which was net of the $61.0 million receivable that was recorded at March 31, 2025. Of the $893.5 million in insurance proceeds received during the year ended December 31, 2025, $360.6 million relates to operating activities. In addition, operating cash flows include net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflecting uses of cash of $404.2 million, primarily driven by the timing of inventory purchases and payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, gain on sale of assets of $93.1 million, and deferred income taxes of $77.9 million, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $662.8 million, non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of $313.0 million, loss from equity method investment of $62.2 million, pension and other post-retirement benefit costs of $52.6 million, and stock-based compensation of $39.0 million.

2025 Debt Related Transactions
Current report
On March 17, 2025, we issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 9.875% Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $776.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds, to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
Current report
We expect that the cost of repairs to the fire-damaged units and restoring the refinery to full operational status will largely be covered under our property insurance coverage, subject to our deductible and retentions totaling $30.0 million. Our insurance policy also includes business interruption coverage, which contains a 60-day waiting period. This coverage commenced on April 3, 2025. While we expect our insurance coverage will significantly offset the financial impact of the Martinez refinery fire, other than for the business interruption waiting period, deductibles and retentions, the timing of insurance proceeds may impact our results and our cash flow in a given reporting period.
Current report
During 2025, we received unallocated insurance proceeds totaling $893.5 million, net of deductibles and retentions. We expect to be able to negotiate future interim payments through final settlement of the claim. The timing and amount of any agreed future interim payments will be dependent on the quantum of actual, covered expenditures and calculated losses.
Current report
On September 30, 2025, through a subsidiary of PBFX, we closed on the sale of two of our non-core refined product terminal facilities located in Philadelphia, PA and Knoxville, TN for $175.4 million, excluding commissions and customary closing costs. The combined assets include 38 storage tanks with approximately 1.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and associated truck racks. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $94.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, included within Gain on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

East Coast Refining Reconfiguration
Previous report
In 2022, we restarted several processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, that were temporarily idled in 2020 as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. Based on this reconfiguration and subsequent restart of several processing units, our East Coast throughput capacity currently approximates 335,000 barrels per day.
Previous report
Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results to the year ended December 31, 2023, we experienced an overall decrease in our refining margins due to unfavorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials sold at the majority of our refineries. In addition, the planned and unplanned maintenance experienced at our West Coast refineries during the fourth quarter of 2023 extended into the first half of 2024. These decreasing metrics combined with the timing of our maintenance activities have negatively impacted our revenues, gross margin, and operating income in comparison to the prior year.

We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs required to comply with RFS. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. We record our RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when our RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. We incurred approximately $515.3 million in RINs costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $762.3 million and $1,225.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fluctuations in RINs costs are due primarily to volatility in prices for ethanol-linked RINs and changes in our production of on-road transportation fuels. Our RINs purchase obligation is dependent on our actual shipment of on-road transportation fuels domestically and the amount of blending achieved.

Currently, crude oil delivered by rail is consumed at our East Coast refineries. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, and the East Coast Storage Assets, allow our East Coast refineries to source WTI-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe, at times, may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crude oils. In support of this rail strategy, we have at times entered into agreements to lease or purchase crude railcars. In subsequent periods, we have sold or returned railcars to optimize our railcar portfolio. Our railcar fleet provides transportation flexibility within our crude oil sourcing strategy that allows our East Coast refineries to process cost advantaged crude from Canada and the Mid-Continent.

The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, and the East Coast Storage Assets, allow our East Coast refineries to source WTI-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe, at times, may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crude oils. In support of this rail strategy, we have at times entered into agreements to lease or purchase crude railcars. In subsequent periods, we have sold or returned railcars to optimize our railcar portfolio. Our railcar fleet provides transportation flexibility within our crude oil sourcing strategy that allows our East Coast refineries to process cost advantaged crude from Canada and the Mid-Continent.

East Coast Refining System (Delaware City and Paulsboro Refineries). The benchmark refining margin for the East Coast Refining System is calculated by assuming that two barrels of Dated Brent crude oil are converted into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. We calculate this benchmark using the NYH market value of reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (“RBOB”) and ULSD against the market value of Dated Brent and refer to the benchmark as the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. The East Coast Refining System has a product slate of approximately 35% gasoline, 36% distillate, 2% high-value Group I lubricants, 1% high-value petrochemicals, with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (3% LPGs, 18% black oil and 5% other). For this reason, we believe the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of East Coast refining revenues are generated off NYH-based market prices.
