Current report
Following completion of the construction activities in February, assets were transferred to Refinery Operations for commissioning and restart. The startup process extended beyond previous expectations due to the volume of safety and process checks required to ensure successful restoration of full operations. The Alkylation unit and Cat Feed Hydrotreater were successfully restarted and are producing finished products and intermediates required for the sequential startup of downstream units. The Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit is now in the restart process and expected to be producing finished products in early May.
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, while the remaining units remained offline. Investigations by various regulatory agencies are ongoing. Consequently, throughput volumes at the Martinez refinery in 2026 were significantly above 2025 levels.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received $106.5 million of unallocated insurance proceeds, which were recognized as a Gain on insurance recoveries in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Geopolitical Conflicts
Current report
Recent hostilities involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have disrupted global energy markets and trade flows, contributing to increased volatility in crude oil and refined product prices. Actions affecting regional shipping routes, including through the Strait of Hormuz, and impacts to certain Middle Eastern energy infrastructure have led to higher freight costs, longer transit times and supply chain disruptions. These conditions have supported higher global refining margins and increased demand for U.S. refined products during the period, while also resulting in higher and more volatile crude oil prices, increased feedstock costs and elevated working capital requirements. The net impact on our results of operations has varied based on the timing and magnitude of changes in crude oil prices and refined product margins. The extent to which these conditions will continue remains uncertain and dependent on future developments, including the duration and scope of the conflict, potential further disruptions to supply or transit routes and the response of global markets. We continue to monitor the situation and adjust our operations as appropriate.
Current report
Excluding the impact of special items, our results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect an overall increase in refining margins compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by favorable crack spreads and crude oil differentials, as well as higher throughput volumes and increased barrels sold across the majority of our refineries, partially offset by higher RFS compliance costs and interest expenses. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts affecting global supply and trade flows also contributed to these improvements.
Current report
(a) As of March 31, 2026, our share of SBR interest, depreciation, and amortization expense, recorded within Equity loss in investee in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, is treated as an adjustment to EBITDA. Prior-period amounts in the table above have been conformed to the 2026 presentation.
Current report
PBF Energy LCM inventory adjustment - During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reversed the $313.0 million LCM inventory reserve recorded at December 31, 2025. This reversal increased income from operations and net income by $313.0 million and $231.6 million, respectively, and resulted in no LCM inventory reserve at March 31, 2026. There were no such adjustments in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Previous report
We expect to restart the refinery in two stages. Certain units that were unaffected by the Martinez Refinery Fire, including the crude unit, were restarted in April 2025 and the refinery began producing limited quantities of gasoline, jet fuel, and intermediates at that time. Restart of the remaining units damaged by the Martinez Refinery Fire, which primarily includes the units scheduled for turnaround, is planned to occur by year-end 2025. Restart of these units is dependent on factors impacting our ability to effect necessary repairs, including those outside of our control such as regulatory permitting and approvals and the availability of certain critical equipment and components.
Previous 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 sale resulted in a gain of approximately $94.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, included within Gain on sale of assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Previous report
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we received unallocated insurance proceeds totaling $250.0 million, net of deductibles and retentions. Although no cash was received during the three months ended September 30, 2025, we received notice that our insurers agreed to pay a second unallocated installment of insurance proceeds totaling $250.0 million and included such amount within Account receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Previous report
As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a Gain on insurance recoveries of $250.0 million and $439.0 million, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The nine month total 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.

Previous report
Excluding the impact of special items, we experienced an overall increase in our refining margins compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven by favorable movements in crack spreads, as well as higher throughput volumes and barrels sold at our East Coast and Chalmette refineries. However, this increase was partially offset by a lower gross margin at our Martinez refinery, resulting from reduced plant capacity due to the Martinez Refinery Fire.
Previous report
Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $154.5 million resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the second quarter of 2024 to the end of the third quarter of 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 our consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were not impacted by special items. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin increased primarily due to favorable movements in crack spreads, as well as higher throughput volumes and barrels sold at our East Coast and Chalmette refineries, partially offset by lower volumes and a lower gross margin at our Martinez refinery, resulting from reduced plant capacity due to the Martinez Refinery Fire.
Previous report
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $25.82 per barrel, or 59.2% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $16.22 per barrel in the same period in 2024. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by a weakened Dated Brent/Maya differential, which decreased by $4.94 per barrel, slightly offset by a wider WTI/Bakken differential, which increased by $0.08 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2024. The WTI/WCS differential decreased to $12.54 per barrel in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $15.31 in the same period in 2024, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Previous report
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $22.01 per barrel, or 26.0% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $17.47 per barrel in the same period in 2024. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by improved WTI/Syncrude and WTI/Bakken differentials, which increased by $1.04 and $0.08 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2024.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Previous report
Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a gain on insurance recoveries of $439.0 million, or $324.9 million net of tax, gain on sale of terminal assets of $94.0 million, or $69.6 million net of tax, and our share of the adjustment to the SBR LCM inventory reserve of $8.2 million, or $6.1 million net of tax, partially offset by expenses associated with the Martinez Refinery Fire of approximately $123.1 million, or $91.1 million net of tax and costs related to the RBI initiative of approximately $21.5 million, or $15.9 million net of tax. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $154.5 million, or $114.3 million net of tax, and a decrease to our gain on the formation of the SBR equity method investment of $8.7 million, or $6.4 million net of tax, partially offset by our share of the change to the SBR LCM inventory reserve of $4.2 million, or $3.1 million net of tax, and a change in fair value of the earn-out obligation associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and logistics assets (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”) of $3.3 million, or $2.4 million net of tax.
Previous report
Excluding the impact of special items, our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflect an overall decrease in refining margins compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials, as well as lower throughput volumes and barrels sold at the majority of our refineries. In addition, the Martinez Refinery Fire resulted in the temporary shutdown of refinery operations. These decreasing metrics combined with the Martinez Refinery Fire negatively impacted our revenues, gross margin, and operating income in comparison to the same period in 2024.
Previous report

Overall average throughput rates at our refineries were lower in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to planned maintenance activity at our Torrance refinery and the fire-related downtime at our Martinez refinery when compared to the same period in 2024. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.
Current wording
Overall average throughput rates at our refineries were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to the restart of the Martinez refinery. In the prior-year period, increased maintenance activity and unplanned downtime related to the Martinez refinery fire negatively impacted throughput. We plan to continue operating our refineries in line with demand and prevailing market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.

Previous wording
Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $154.5 million resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2023 to the end of the third quarter of 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 our consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were not impacted by special items. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin decreased due to unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials and lower barrels sold at the majority of our refineries, as well as the temporary shutdown of the Martinez refinery operations due to the Martinez Refinery Fire.
Current wording
Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were positively impacted by the reversal of a prior-year non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $313.0 million, driven by the increase in crude oil and refined product prices compared to the prior year. Consolidated gross margin, gross refining margin, and gross refining margin excluding special items increased due to favorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials, as well as higher barrels sold at the majority of our refineries, partially offset by higher RFS compliance costs.
Previous wording
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. Total RFS compliance costs were $169.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $128.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Current wording
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. On March 27, 2026, the EPA finalized new RFS requirements for 2026 and 2027, which included a partial reallocation of small refinery exemptions that were granted for years 2023 to 2025 and revised renewable fuel volume requirements for 2026. Total RFS compliance costs were $278.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $120.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the newly finalized RFS requirements in addition to higher RIN prices in 2026 compared to 2025.
Previous wording

The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. Total capitalization is calculated by adding total debt and total equity. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.

LCM inventory adjustment -LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in 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. In periods where 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 the prior period and the current period. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments is included in the Refining segment’s income from operations, but are excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, in order to make such information comparable between periods.

Operating expenses— Operating expenses totaled $613.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $649.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $36.2 million, or 5.6%. Of the total $613.5 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, $589.2 million, or $7.35 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $24.3 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($621.4 million, or $7.22 per barrel, and $28.3 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the Refining and Logistics segments, respectively). The decrease in operating expenses in comparison to the same period in 2024 was mainly attributable to lower outside services, including legal expenses, as well as lower catalysts and chemicals due to the Martinez refinery downtime and RBI cost savings.

General and administrative expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $74.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $65.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $8.6 million or 13.1%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily a result of higher employee related expenses and higher outside service costs incurred in connection with the RBI initiative. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities, and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets.

Overview— PBF Energy net loss was $239.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net loss of $247.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders was $236.9 million, or $(2.08) per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 ($(2.08) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $(4.64) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures), compared to net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders of $244.5 million, or $(2.09) per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ($(2.11) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $(1.12) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy stockholders represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (loss), less applicable income tax benefit. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 99.3% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

Overall average throughput rates at our refineries were lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to increased maintenance activity and unplanned downtime at our West Coast refineries when compared to the same period in 2024. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.

Interest expense, net—Interest expense, net totaled $141.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $91.8 million. The net increase is mainly attributable to higher interest cost associated with the issuance of the 2030 9.875% Senior Notes in March 2025 and higher outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, there was a $26.2 million decrease in interest income earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 driven by lower interest rates and cash deposits in comparison to the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income tax benefit—PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd., are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes, on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.3% on a weighted-average basis for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in PBF LLC (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was 25.9% and 32.1%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, PBF Energy’s effective tax rate was relatively consistent with the United States statutory rate.

Noncontrolling interest—PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, we record a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, we record a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was approximately 0.7%. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.
