Current report
increasing electric vehicles and liquid natural gas and other improvements in fuel efficiencies and changes in regulatory policies could adversely affect operations, in particular in our Energy segment. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities in the current commodity price environment, sell non-core assets, access capital markets, incur additional debt or take any other action to improve our liquidity is subject to the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in our periodic reports and the other risks and uncertainties that exist in our industry, and depends on our future operational performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive, and other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. Furthermore, shifts in demand and tightening credit market conditions could impact our financial stability. Increased tariffs, both by the U.S. and globally, ongoing and future trade conflicts and changes in U.S. economic trade policy, and economic uncertainly has led to increased volatility. The impact of tariffs has not been significant as of March 31, 2025.
Current report
The following table presents our Energy segment’s net sales, cost of goods sold and gross profit:
Current report
Net sales for our Energy segment decreased by $217 million (12%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a decrease in our petroleum business’ net sales of $243 million, offset in part by an increase in our renewable business’ net sales of $11 million and an increase in our nitrogen fertilizer business’
Current report
net sales by $15 million over the comparable period. The decrease in the petroleum business’ net sales was driven by lower sales volumes as a result of planned maintenance at the Coffeyville Refinery, resulting in lower production, and lower refined product prices resulting from elevated inventory levels and reduced demand. Our renewables business’ net sales increased due to higher production and sales volumes coupled with increased biodiesel RIN prices. Our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales increased primarily due to favorable urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) sales volumes, higher ammonia pricing, and favorable sale of other products, partially offset by unfavorable ammonia sales volumes and UAN sales prices.
Current report
Net sales and other revenues from operations for our Automotive segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $34 million (9%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower pricing across most major automotive service categories and a shift in consumer behavior towards a lower price mix of parts and services in the current period. In addition, Aftermarket Parts revenues decreased by $11 million due to the exit of the Aftermarket Parts business during the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
Cost of goods sold and other expenses from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $11 million (4%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenues in Autmotmotive Services and a decrease of the Aftermarket Parts business of $3 million due to the exit of the business. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $23 million (23%) from the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 24% and 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to lower margin mix of products and services as well as increased store labor expense.
Current report
During the quarter, the segment commenced implementation of a restructuring plan designed to enhance operational efficiency and margin performance. The plan includes the consolidation of our North American facilities into a single, centralized location, along with investments in upgraded equipment at that facility. These actions are intended to support increased production volumes while reducing costs and waste. Upon completion of the plan, we anticipate that we will be able to maintain global production volumes while achieving improved margins. The restructuring activities are expected to be substantially completed by the second half of 2025. During the quarter, the segment has recognized $7 million of restructuring expenses, which include employee severance costs and facility consolidation expenses, as well as $10 million of asset impairment charges.
Current report
The Real Estate segment is actively marketing certain properties for sale. In November 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell certain properties, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025. These properties have historically generated approximately $3 million in annual revenue. As a result, we anticipate a reduction in future other revenues from operations by this amount following the completion of the sale of these properties.
Current report
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $5 million (14%) as compared to the comparable prior year period mostly due to higher demand from our UK hospitality and international business. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $4 million (15%) compared to the comparable prior year period mostly due to customer mix. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 24% and 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Our Pharma segment derives revenues primarily from the sale of its products directly to customers, wholesalers and pharmacies. Drugs in active clinical development may generate positive cash flow if successful, but there is also the risk that these drugs may not progress through clinical trials, resulting in no return. Additionally, we incur research and development costs associated with these drugs.

Wynnewood Refinery Incident
Previous report
Within our Energy segment, a fire commenced at the Wynnewood refinery during severe weather in the early morning hours of April 28, 2024. The fire was extinguished shortly after it started, with no employees or contractors injured. After further assessment of this incident, it was determined the damages were limited to pipe racks and pumps in the naphtha processing units. Operations at the Coffeyville Refinery were not impacted by the fire. CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVI”), our majority owned subsidiary in our Energy segment, incurred additional expenses related to this incident in the third quarter of 2024 of approximately $6 million, excluding insurance recoveries. All necessary repairs have been completed and the plant was fully operational in July 2024.

Investment Fund Distribution and Redemption
Previous report
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Investment Funds’ negative performance was primarily driven by net losses in short positions. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s short positions was driven primarily by losses from several energy sector investments totaling $401 million and the negative performance of certain credit default swap positions of $102 million, offset in part by gains from a broad market hedge of $179 million and the aggregate performance of short equity and credit positions with net gains across various sectors of $158 million. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was driven primarily by losses from one healthcare sector investment of $115 million and two utility sector investments of $95 million, offset in part by gains on one energy sector investment of $98 million.

In recent years, our Energy segment has focused on several decarbonization initiatives including completion of construction of the renewable diesel and renewable feedstock pre-treatment units at the Wynnewood Refinery, creation of an Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) committee and the publication of ESG reports and restructuring to better align with management and financial reporting. Our Energy segment expects to continue to explore options to decarbonize its business in areas with attractive economics, without sole reliance on government subsidies.
Previous report
Net sales for our Energy segment decreased by $688 million (27%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a decrease in our petroleum business’ net sales of $683 million, as well as a decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales by $5 million over the comparable period. 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 a decline in sales as a result of the Wynnewood Refinery fire and an unplanned outage at the Coffeyville Refinery. The decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales was primarily due to a decrease in urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) sales volumes, offset in part by favorable UAN and ammonia pricing conditions in the current period.
Previous report
Net sales for our Energy segment decreased by $1.4 billion (20%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a decrease in our petroleum business’ net sales, which decreased $1.2 billion, as well as a decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales, which decreased $154 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 a decline in sales as a result of the Wynnewood Refinery fire and an unplanned outage at the Coffeyville Refinery. The decrease in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales was primarily due to unfavorable UAN and ammonia pricing conditions and sales volumes.
Previous report
Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment decreased by $415 million (7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to declines in our petroleum business as a result of a decrease in net sales and increased RFS expenses of $52 million, which includes unfavorable RINs liability revaluation of $196 million, offset in part by a favorable derivatives impact of $61 million. Gross margin for our Energy segment decreased by $967 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 2% and 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, as a result of lower refining margins driven by increased inventory levels and lower demand in the current year.
Previous report
Our Automotive segment’s results also include AEP PLC LLC (“AEP PLC”), which acquired $10 million in assets, mainly comprised of Aftermarket Parts inventory from the Auto Plus auction. We are in the process of selling the remaining inventory which we expect will be complete by the end of 2024 and which would remove us from the Aftermarket Parts business.
Previous report
During the third quarter of 2024, we experienced declining sales in our Automotive Services business, due to, among other factors, reduced consumer spending on automotive repairs and maintenance and certain operational challenges, resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows. This led to a goodwill triggering event during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Our goodwill impairment testing concluded that no impairment is required at this time, and we have undertaken operational changes, including changes in management and strategy, that we believe will lead to improvements in the performance of the business and cash flows. However, if our growth and profitability initiatives do not realize their expected benefits, our assets in this business may be subject to impairment.

Our Energy segment is primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing businesses. The petroleum business accounted for approximately 93% and 92% of our Energy segment’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Current wording
Our Energy segment is primarily engaged in the petroleum refining, renewable fuels and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing businesses. The petroleum business accounted for approximately 90% and 92% of our Energy segment’s net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on the petroleum business’ results of operations is partially influenced by the rate at which the processing of Refined Products adjusts to reflect these changes.

Previous wording
In addition to geopolitical conditions, such as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, there are long-term factors that may impact the demand for and inventory of Refined Products. These factors include mandated renewable fuels standards, proposed and enacted climate change laws and regulations, and increased mileage and emissions standards for vehicles. The petroleum business is also subject to the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”), which, each year, absent exemptions or waivers, requires the operating companies in our Energy segment to blend “renewable fuels” with their transportation fuels, purchase renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), to the extent available, in lieu of blending, or face liability. The price of RINs has been extremely volatile and the future cost of RINs for the petroleum business is difficult to estimate. Additionally, the cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include but are not limited to the availability of RINs for purchase, the actions of RINs market participants including non-obligated parties, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel and renewable diesel production levels and pricing, the mix of the petroleum business’ petroleum products, the refining margin of the petroleum business and other factors, all of which can vary significantly from period to period, as well as certain waivers or exemptions to which the petroleum business’ obligated-party subsidiaries may be entitled. The costs to comply with the RFS are also impacted by, and dependent upon the outcome of, the numerous lawsuits filed by multiple refiners including the petroleum business’ obligated-party subsidiaries, biofuels groups and others. Refer to Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of RINs.

Previous wording
Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment decreased by $134 million (7%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to declines in our petroleum business as a result of a decrease in net sales and increased RFS expenses of $187 million which includes unfavorable RINs liability revaluation of $232 million, offset in part by a favorable derivatives impact of $97 million in the current period compared to losses in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin for our Energy segment decreased by $554 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was (4%) and 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, as a result of lower refining margins driven by increased inventory levels and lower demand in the current year.
Current wording
Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment increased by $35 million (2%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily from our petroleum business, mainly due to higher direct purchases resulting from lower production and increased RFS expenses of $185 million, which includes unfavorable RINs liability revaluation of $203 million. The increase was offset in part by reduction of crude oil consumption due to the planned maintenance and a favorable derivative impact in the current period. Gross profit for our Energy segment decreased by $252 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was (6%) and 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, as a result of lower refining margins driven by increased RFS expenses in the current year, unfavorable sales volume impacts related to the Coffeyville Refinery 2025 planned maintenance and decreased crack spreads, offset in part by favorable derivative impacts of $31 million.

Previous wording
In January 2023, Auto Plus filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, resulting in the cessation of operations and deconsolidation, which reduced our Automotive segment’s assets. Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include the results of Auto Plus prior to its deconsolidation as of January 31, 2023. Following the bankruptcy, Auto Plus exited the Automotive Services locations within which it operated.

Previous wording
In connection with its transformation plan, the Automotive segment leases available and excess real estate in certain locations under long-term operating leases, in which the Aftermarket Parts business formally operated.
Current wording
In connection with its transformation plan, the Automotive segment leases available and excess real estate in certain locations under long-term operating leases previously utilized by the Aftermarket Parts business. During this multi-year transformation plan, the Automotive segment will continue investing capital to repurpose these locations for future multi-tenant use and we anticipate increased leasing revenues as a result. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Automotive segment entered into an agreement with a tenant to terminate a group of leases, effective March 31, 2025. As a result of this termination, the segment has additional excess real estate available to lease. This change may delay certain aspects of the ongoing transformation plan and could result in reduced cash flows during the anticipated lease-up period. Our Automotive segment’s priorities include:

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4 million (4%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $8 million in price and product mix, offset in part by higher volumes of $4 million. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $3 million (4%) compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to effects of higher volume and lower absorption of manufacturing fixed costs. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 15% and 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Current wording
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $7 million (7%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of $4 million, unfavorable effects of foreign exchange of $2 million and a decrease in price and product mix of $1 million. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was flat as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to effects of lower manufacturing performance and raw material price inflation. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 15% and 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Depending on market conditions, we may continue to sell depositary units under the Open Market Sale Agreements, and, if appropriate, enter into a new Open Market Sale Agreement to continue our “at-the-market” sales program once we have sold the full amount of our existing Open Market Sale Agreements. Our ability to access remaining capital under our “at-the-market” program may be limited by market conditions at the time of any future potential sale. While we were able to sell depositary units during the three months ended March 31, 2025, there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all under this program.

Previous wording
With respect to both our long positions that are not notionalized (58% long exposure) and our short positions that are not notionalized (63% short exposure), each 1% change in exposure as a result of purchases or sales (assuming no change in value) would have a 1% impact on our cash and cash equivalents (as a percentage of net asset value). Changes in exposure as a result of purchases and sales as well as adverse changes in market value would also have an effect on funds available to us pursuant to prime brokerage lines of credit.

Previous wording
With respect to the notional value of our other long positions (55% long exposure) and short positions (52% short exposure), our liquidity would decrease by the balance sheet unrealized loss if we were to close the positions at quarter end prices. This would be offset by a release of restricted cash balances collateralizing these positions as well as an increase in funds available to us pursuant to certain prime brokerage lines of credit. If we were to increase our short exposure by adding to these short positions, we would be required to provide cash collateral equal to a small percentage of the initial notional value at counterparties that require cash as collateral and then post additional collateral equal to 100% of the mark to market on adverse changes in fair value. For our counterparties who do not require cash collateral, funds available from lines of credit would decrease.
