Wynnewood Refinery Incident

Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Investment Funds’ negative performance was primarily driven by net losses in long and short positions. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was driven primarily by net losses from the healthcare and energy sectors of $482 million, offset in part by gains in the utilities sector of $134 million.

Current report
Net sales for our Energy segment decreased by $694 million (15%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a decrease in our petroleum business’ net sales, which decreased $546 million, as well as a decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales, which decreased $148 million over the comparable periods. The decrease in the petroleum business’ net sales was due to lower refined product prices resulting from elevated inventory levels and reduced demand along with fewer sales as a result of the Wynnewood Refinery fire during the current period. The decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales was primarily due to lower product sales prices attributable to natural gas prices reducing input costs and driving an overall decrease in the market prices.

Previous wording
The results of operations of the petroleum business are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed and blended into petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel that are produced by a refinery (“refined products”). The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price for which refined products are ultimately sold depend on factors beyond our Energy segment’s control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, as well as gasoline, distillate, and other refined products, which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, driving habits, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability or permissibility of imports and exports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulations. Because the petroleum business applies first-in, first-out accounting to value its inventory, crude oil price movements may impact gross margin as a result of changes in the value of its unhedged inventory.
