We believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

NOTE 2: Cushing Connect Joint Venture
We, through our wholly owned subsidiary HEP Cushing LLC (“HEP Cushing”), own a 50% interest in Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (“Cushing Connect”), a joint venture with Plains Marketing, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”). Cushing Connect consists of (i) a 160,000 barrel per day common carrier crude oil pipeline (the “Cushing Connect Pipeline”) that connects the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil hub to our Tulsa refineries, and (ii) the ownership and operation of 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Cushing Connect Terminal”).
Cushing Connect entered into a contract with an affiliate of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), a subsidiary of HF Sinclair, to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect Pipeline and with an affiliate of Plains to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect Terminal. The total investment in Cushing Connect was generally shared proportionately among the partners.
Cushing Connect and its two subsidiaries (the “Cushing Connect Entities”) are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Cushing Connect Entities are VIEs because they were deemed to not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional financial support. We are the primary beneficiary of two of these entities as HEP constructed and operates the Cushing Connect Pipeline, and we have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the financial performance of Cushing Connect and the Cushing Connect Pipeline. Therefore, we consolidate Cushing Connect and the related Cushing Connect Pipeline subsidiary. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Cushing Connect Terminal, which we account for using the equity method of accounting. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with Cushing Connect Terminal is not expected to be material due to the long-term terminalling agreements in place to support operations.
With the exception of the assets of HEP Cushing, creditors of the Cushing Connect Entities have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP Cushing would be limited to the extent of HEP Cushing’s assets, which other than its investment in Cushing Connect, are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of the Cushing Connect Entities. The most significant assets of Cushing Connect and the Cushing Connect Pipeline that are available to settle only their obligations, along with their most significant liabilities for which their creditors do not have recourse to our general credit, were:

NOTE 3: Revenues
Substantially all revenue-generating activities relate to sales of refined products and excess crude oil inventories that are sold at market prices (variable consideration) under contracts with customers. Additionally, we have revenues attributable to our logistics services provided under petroleum product and crude oil pipeline transportation, processing, storage and terminalling agreements with third parties.

(6)Other revenues are principally attributable to our Refining, Marketing and Lubricants & Specialties segments.
As of September 30, 2025, we have long-term contracts with customers that specify minimum volumes of gasoline, diesel and lubricants and specialty products to be sold ratably at market prices through 2035. Future prices are subject to market fluctuations and therefore, we have elected the exemption to exclude variable consideration under these contracts. Aggregate minimum volumes expected to be sold (future performance obligations) under our long-term product sales contracts with customers are as follows:
| Contractual Minimum | Remainder of 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | Thereafter | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | |||||
| Refined product sales volumes (barrels) | 10 | 32 | 24 | 27 | 93 |
Additionally, we have long-term contracts with third-party customers that specify minimum volumes of product to be transported through our pipelines and terminals that result in fixed-minimum annual revenues through 2033. Annual minimum revenues attributable to our third-party contracts as of September 30, 2025 are presented below:
| Contractual Minimum | Remainder of 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | Thereafter | Total |

(1)During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we assigned our 50% ownership interest in Cheyenne Pipeline, LLC to our joint venture partner in exchange for the cancellation of certain future commitments.
NOTE 5: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs. |
The carrying amounts of derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| Fair Value by Input Level | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| (In millions) | ||||
| Assets: | ||||
| Commodity price swaps | $2 | $— | $— | $2 |
| Commodity forward contracts | 1 | — | 1 | — |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 3 | — | 3 | — |
| Total assets | $6 | $— | $4 | $2 |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Commodity price swaps | $1 | $— | $1 | $— |
| Commodity forward contracts | 1 | — | 1 | — |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 4 | — | 4 | — |
| Environmental credit obligations | 73 | — | 73 | — |
| Total liabilities | $79 | $— | $79 | $— |
| Fair Value by Input Level | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| (In millions) | ||||
| Assets: | ||||
| Commodity forward contracts | $1 | $— | $1 | $— |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 18 | — | 18 | — |
| Total assets | $19 | $— | $19 | $— |

| NYMEX futures contracts | $1 | $1 | $— | $— |
| Commodity forward contracts | 1 | — | 1 | — |
| Environmental credit obligations | 10 | — | 10 | — |
| Total liabilities | $12 | $1 | $11 | $— |
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Our futures contracts based on New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) pricing are measured and recorded at fair value using quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Derivative instruments consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, commodity price swaps and forward sales and purchase contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the commodity price swap contracts is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the respective swap agreements. The measurements are computed using market-based observable inputs and quoted forward commodity prices with respect to our commodity price swaps. The fair value of the forward sales and purchase contracts is computed using quoted forward commodity prices. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input. Environmental credit obligations are valued based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
We have commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted sales of unleaded gasoline for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available. When forward market prices are not available, we estimate fair value using the forward price of a similar commodity, adjusted for the difference in quality or location. The forward rate used to value these price swaps is adjusted for regional pricing and grade differentials, a Level 3 input.
Changes in the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities (all related to derivative instruments) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were nominal and we held no such positions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. A hypothetical change of 10% to the estimated future cash flows attributable to our Level 3 commodity price swaps would result in a nominal fair value change.
NOTE 6: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders, adjusted for participating securities’ share in earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the incremental shares resulting from certain share-based awards.
The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| (In millions, except share and per share data) | ||||
| Net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders | $403 | $(76) | $607 | $391 |
| Less: participating securities’ share in earnings (1) | 3 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
| Net income (loss) attributable to common shares | $400 | $(77) | $602 | $389 |
| Average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands): | ||||
| Basic | 186,499 | 189,840 | 187,688 | 193,341 |
| Diluted | 186,499 | 189,840 | 187,688 | 193,341 |
| Basic earnings (loss) per share | $2.15 | $(0.40) | $3.21 | $2.01 |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $2.15 | $(0.40) | $3.21 | $2.01 |
(1)Unvested restricted stock unit awards and unvested performance share units that settle in HF Sinclair common stock represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common stockholders of HF Sinclair. Participating earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of HF Sinclair attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock unit awards and performance share units do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so.
NOTE 7: Stock-Based Compensation
We have a principal share-based compensation plan, the HF Sinclair Corporation Amended and Restated 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of unrestricted and restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, stock options, performance awards, substitute awards, cash awards and stock appreciation rights. Subject to adjustment for certain events, an aggregate of 6,368,930 of these awards may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2020 Plan. The restricted stock unit awards generally vest over a period ofone tothree years. Upon vesting, restrictions on the restricted stock units lapse at which time they convert to common shares or cash. The performance share units generally vest at the end of athree-year period and are payable in stock or cash upon meeting certain financial and performance criteria. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid for the performance share units can range from zero to 200% of target award amounts. The holders of unvested restricted stock units and performance share units have the right to receive dividends. We also have a stock compensation deferral plan that allows non-employee directors to defer settlement of vested stock granted under our share-based compensation plan.
The 2020 Plan compensation costs were $7 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$22 millionand$16 millionfor thenine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE 10: Income Taxes
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| (In millions) | ||||
| Income (loss) before income taxes | $528 | $(131) | $773 | $448 |
| Income tax expense (benefit) | $123 | $(57) | $160 | $52 |
| Effective income tax rate (1) | 23.3% | 43.6% | 20.7% | 11.6% |
(1) Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the relationship between pre-tax results and the effects of state and local income tax. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the relationship between pre-tax results and permanent differences and a discrete benefit associated with the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities from state tax law changes enacted in the second quarter of 2025.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the benefit of non-taxable permanent differences relative to the pre-tax loss for the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the relationship between pre-tax results and non-taxable permanent differences.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) into law. Among other things, OBBBA extends the Producer’s Tax Credit under Section 45Z through the end of 2029, indefinitely extends the first-year depreciation allowance on qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, and extends and enhances many of the provisions enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The enactment of OBBBA will not have a material impact on our results of operations but will affect our financial position by resulting in a reduction of cash taxes paid.
NOTE 11: Debt
Credit Agreements
On April 3, 2025, we terminated our $1.65 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2026 (the “Terminated HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”) and the $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in July 2025 of our wholly owned subsidiary HEP (the “Terminated HEP Credit Agreement”). Contemporaneously, we entered into a new $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2030 (the “HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”), which contains an extension feature that allows us to extend the term of the commitment from time to time in increments of up to one year subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement. The HF Sinclair Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase such commitments to an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.75 billion. In addition, HF Sinclair was released from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2023, as guarantor, in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Guaranty”), and the Guaranty was terminated. We did not pay any prepayment penalties in connection with the termination of the Terminated HF Sinclair Credit Agreement or the Terminated HEP Credit Agreement. We recognized an early extinguishment loss of $1 million, inclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Indebtedness under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate (as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent), (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus 0.5%, and (iii) Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1%, as applicable, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 1.000%), or (b) at a rate equal to the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 2.000%). The applicable margin is based on HF Sinclair’s debt rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
At September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and hadno outstanding borrowings under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement in the amount of $128 million, which represented commitments and guarantees entered into in the normal course of business. The letters of credit were undrawn as of September 30, 2025.
Senior Notes Offerings, Tender Offers and Redemptions
On January 23, 2025, HF Sinclair issued an aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion of senior notes consisting of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “HF Sinclair 5.750% Senior Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “HF Sinclair 6.250% Senior Notes” and together with the HF Sinclair 5.750% Senior Notes, the “January HFS Notes”) for net proceeds of approximately $1.38 billion, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and commissions and offering expenses. The January HFS Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ours and rank equally with all our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
We used a portion of the funds to complete the early settlement of cash tender offers for $646 million in aggregate principal amount as follows:
| Maturity Date | Aggregate Principal Amount Accepted | Purchase Price Including Premium | Interest Paid | |

Additionally, we used net proceeds from the January HFS Notes offering to repay and redeem the following aggregate principal amounts outstanding:
$350 million under the Terminated HEP Credit Agreement due 2025,
$195 million of HF Sinclair’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026, and
$155 million of our wholly owned subsidiary, HollyFrontier Corporation’s (“HollyFrontier”)5.875% Senior Notes due 2026.
On August 18, 2025, HF Sinclair issued an aggregate principal amount of $500 million of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “HF Sinclair 5.500% Senior Notes”) for net proceeds of approximately $491 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and commissions and offering expenses. The HF Sinclair 5.500% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ours and rank equally with all our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
We used a portion of the funds from the HF Sinclair 5.500% Senior Notes to complete the early settlement of a cash tender offer for $201 million in aggregate principal amount as follows:
| Maturity Date | Aggregate Principal Amount Accepted | Purchase Price Including Premium | Interest Paid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Total | $201 | $203 | $5 | |
Additionally, we used net proceeds from the HF Sinclair 5.500% Senior Notes offering to repay and redeem the remaining balance outstanding of the following aggregate principal amounts:
$117 million of HF Sinclair’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026, and
$86 million of HF Sinclair’s and HEP’s 6.375% Senior Notes due 2027.
We recognized an early extinguishment loss of $8 million and $23 million, inclusive of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, as a result of the tender offers and redemptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
Senior Notes
Our unsecured senior notes and unsubordinated obligations rank equally with all future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire some or all of our outstanding debt agreements through cash purchases, and/or exchanges, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, may be material and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors.
HF Sinclair Financing Arrangements
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into financing arrangements whereby such subsidiaries sold a portion of their precious metals catalyst to a financial institution in exchange for cash and then financed the use of the precious metals catalyst for a term not to exceed one year. The volume of the precious metals catalyst and the interest rate are fixed over the term of each agreement, and the payments are recorded as Interest expense. Upon maturity of the financing arrangement, we must either satisfy the obligation at fair market value or refinance to extend the maturity, which is considered an embedded derivative as discussed in Note 12. These financing arrangements are recorded at a Level 2 fair value totaling $51 million and $31 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in Accrued liabilitieson our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for additional information on Level 2 inputs.
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries may, from time to time, enter into buy/sell arrangements in which an inventory repurchase obligation is recognized. As of September 30, 2025, we had $103 million recorded in inventory repurchase obligations related to these commercial financing arrangements, which is included in Accrued liabilities.
We may, from time to time, issue letters of credit pursuant to uncommitted letters of credit facilities, which are unrelated to the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, we had letters of credit totaling a nominal amount under such credit facilities.

NOTE 12: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Commodity Price Risk Management
Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps, collar contracts, forward contracts and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to our inventory positions, natural gas purchases, sales prices of refined products and crude oil costs.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exposure associated with fluctuations on intercompany notes with our foreign subsidiaries that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Accounting Hedges
We periodically have swap contracts to lock in basis spread differentials on forecasted purchases of crude oil and forward sales of refined products that lock in the prices of future purchases of crude oil and sales of refined products. These contracts have been designated as accounting hedges and are measured at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to other comprehensive income. These fair value adjustments are later reclassified to earnings as the hedging instruments mature.
We recorded $1 million of net unrealized gain in other comprehensive income for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the nine months ended September 30, 2025. No amounts were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We reclassified $1 million and $5 million of realized gain from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. No amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Economic Hedges
We periodically enter into commodity contracts, including certain futures contracts based on NYMEX pricing, to lock in prices on forecasted inventory purchases and sales. We periodically enter into basis swap contracts to mitigate exposure to natural gas price volatility. We periodically enter into forward purchase and sale contracts to lock in basis spread differentials on forecasted crude oil purchases and refined products sales, and forward purchase or sale price of crude oil and refined products. We periodically use collar contracts to mitigate exposure to natural gas price volatility; these contracts serve as economic hedges (derivatives used for risk management but not designated as accounting hedges). We also have forward currency contracts to fix the rate of foreign currency. In addition, our precious metals catalyst financing arrangements discussed in Note 11 could require repayment under certain conditions based on the future pricing of platinum, which is an embedded derivative. These contracts are measured at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to earnings.

NOTE 13: Stockholders’ Equity
On May 7, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the “May 2024 Share Repurchase Program”), which replaced all existing share repurchase programs. The May 2024 Share Repurchase Program authorizes us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company, LLC (“REH Company” and together with its affiliate REH Advisors Inc., “REH”) are also authorized under the May 2024 Share Repurchase Program, subject to REH’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. The timing and amount of share repurchases, including those from REH, will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs. The May 2024 Share Repurchase Program may be discontinued at any time by our Board of Directors.
On September 16, 2025, we repurchased 1,948,558 shares of our outstanding common stock from REH in a privately negotiated transaction under the May 2024 Share Repurchase Program and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 16, 2025 (the “September 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement”), between us and REH. The price paid under the September 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement was $51.32 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $100 million. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand.
As of September 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $589 million under the May 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
The following table presents the total open market and privately negotiated purchases of shares under our share repurchase programs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

NOTE 15: Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to various litigation and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business which we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Renewable Fuel Standard
During 2017 and 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) granted the Cheyenne, Wyoming refinery (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and the refinery in Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”) each a one-year small refinery exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) program requirements for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. As a result, the Cheyenne Refinery’s and Woods Cross Refinery’s gasoline and diesel production were not subject to the renewable volume obligation for the respective years. Upon each exemption granted, we increased our inventory of RINs and reduced our Cost of sales. On April 7, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross Refinery and Cheyenne Refinery for the 2018 compliance year. On June 3, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross Refinery and Cheyenne Refinery for the 2016 compliance year and denying small refinery exemption petitions for our Woods Cross Refinery and Cheyenne Refinery for the 2019 and 2020 compliance years.
Certain of our subsidiaries pursued legal challenges to the EPA’s decisions to deny small refinery exemptions for the 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020 compliance years. The first lawsuit, filed against the EPA on May 6, 2022, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit (the “DC Circuit”), sought to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2018 small refinery exemption petitions overturned. The second lawsuit, filed against the EPA on August 5, 2022 before the DC Circuit, sought to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2016 small refinery exemption petitions overturned and to have the EPA’s denial of our 2019 and 2020 small refinery exemption petitions reversed.
In addition, for both the 2016 and 2018 compliance years, pursuant to the June 2022 and April 2022 decisions, the EPA established an alternative compliance demonstration for small refineries pursuant to which the EPA is not imposing any obligations for the small refineries whose exemptions were reversed. On June 24, 2022, Growth Energy filedtwo lawsuits in the DC Circuit against the EPA challenging the alternative compliance demonstration for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. On July 25, 2022, certain of our subsidiaries intervened on behalf of the EPA to aid the defense of the EPA’s alternative compliance demonstration decision.
On July 26, 2024, the DC Circuit issued a favorable decision vacating the EPA’s denial of all of our small refinery exemption petitions, finding the denial to be unlawful. The DC Circuit remanded the small refinery exemption petitions to the EPA for new determination. The DC Circuit also upheld the alternative compliance demonstration and denied Growth Energy’s challenge.
On August 22, 2025, the EPA granted, in whole or in part, small refinery exemption requests for our Woods Cross Refinery, our Cheyenne Refinery, our refinery in Casper, Wyoming (the “Casper Refinery”), and our refinery in Sinclair, Wyoming (the “Parco Refinery”) for various compliance years from 2019 to 2024. The EPA also denied, in whole or in part, small refinery exemption requests for the Cheyenne Refinery, the Woods Cross Refinery, the Casper Refinery, and the Parco Refinery for various compliance years from 2019 to 2024.
In October 2025, certain of our subsidiaries filed lawsuits in the DC Circuit to overturn the EPA’s August 2025 denials and other actions. These lawsuits remain pending, and we are unable to estimate the costs we may incur, if any, at this time.
Navajo
HF Sinclair Navajo Refining LLC (“HFS Navajo”) was engaged in discussions with, and responded to document requests from the EPA, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) regarding HFS Navajo’s compliance with the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and underlying regulations, and similar New Mexico laws and regulations, at its Artesia and Lovington, New Mexico refineries.
On January 17, 2025, HFS Navajo reached a settlement agreement with the EPA, DOJ, and NMED, and a new consent decree was entered with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico on May 5, 2025 (the “2025 Consent Decree”) resolving alleged CAA and New Mexico Air Quality Control Act violations as well as alleged violations of a 2002 consent decree at the Artesia refinery.
Under the 2025 Consent Decree, HFS Navajo was required to pay the sum of $34 million as a civil penalty to the United States and the State of New Mexico according to the following schedule: (1) $10 million to the United States, and $10 million to the State of New Mexico within 30 days after the effective date of the 2025 Consent Decree; which were paid in May 2025, and (2) $7 million to the United States and $7 million to the State of New Mexico, with interest, by January 31, 2026; which were paid in October 2025. Separately, on January 29, 2025, HFS Navajo paid stipulated penalties in the amount of $1 million, divided equally between the United States and the State of New Mexico, resolving alleged noncompliance under the 2002 Consent Decree. Finally, HFS Navajo must implement injunctive relief and mitigation measures at an estimated cost of $137 million, including capital investments, at the Artesia refinery, certain of which measures have already been implemented as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the remainder of which must be completed by various deadlines, ending in 2031.
NOTE 16: Segment Information
Our operations are organized into five reportable segments: Refining, Renewables, Marketing, Lubricants & Specialties and Midstream. Our operations that are not included in one of these five reportable segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations. Corporate and Other and Eliminations are aggregated and presented under the Corporate, Other and Eliminations column.
The Refining segment represents the operations of our El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Woods Cross, Puget Sound, Parco and Casper refineries and HF Sinclair Asphalt Company LLC (“Asphalt”). Refining activities involve the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest geographic regions of the United States. Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The Renewables segment represents the operations of our Cheyenne renewable diesel unit (“RDU”), Artesia RDU, Sinclair RDU and the pre-treatment unit at our Artesia, New Mexico facility.
The Marketing segment represents branded fuel sales to Sinclair branded sites in the United States and licensing fees for the use of the Sinclair brand at additional locations throughout the country. The Marketing segment also includes branded fuel sales to non-Sinclair branded sites and revenues from other marketing activities. Our branded sites are located in several states across the United States with the highest concentration of the sites located in our West and Mid-Continent regions.
The Lubricants & Specialties segment represents Petro-Canada Lubricants’ production operations, located in Mississauga, Ontario, which includes lubricant products such as base oils, white oils, specialty products and finished lubricants, and the operations of our Petro-Canada Lubricants’ business that includes the marketing of products to both retail and wholesale outlets through a global sales network with locations in Canada, the United States and Europe. Additionally, the Lubricants & Specialties segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refineries that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America and the operations of Red Giant Oil, one of the leading suppliers of locomotive engine oil in North America. Also, the Lubricants & Specialties segment includes Sonneborn, a producer of specialty hydrocarbon chemicals such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.
The Midstream segment includes all of the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary HEP, which owns and operates logistics and refinery assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, and terminals, tankage and loading rack facilities in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains geographic regions of the United States. The Midstream segment also includes 50% ownership interests in each of Osage Pipeline Company, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, and Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to Tulsa, Oklahoma, a 26.08% ownership interest in Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from the Powder River Basin to Casper, Wyoming, and a 49.995% ownership interest in Pioneer Investments Corp., the owner of a pipeline running from Sinclair, Wyoming to the North Salt Lake City, Utah Terminal. Revenues and other income from the Midstream segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation, terminalling operations and tankage facilities provided for our refining operations.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is also our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of our segments using segment Income (loss) from operations. Amounts included in Income (loss) before income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from our performance measure, Income (loss) from operations, include Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net includes Earnings of equity method investments, Interest income, Interest expenseand other items believed to be non-operating and non-recurring in nature. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess our performance by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates.
