Previous report
The energy-related legislation passed with the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") encompasses clean energy financial incentives that are expected to increase capital investment opportunities that focus on the development of production capacity for liquid fuels with lower GHG. Gulf coast industries should be well positioned for growth, particularly if global trade becomes tied to environmental attributes. Following the enactment of the IRA, Delek is investing in carbon capture technology. We were selected by the Department of Energy's ("DOE") Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to negotiate a cost-sharing agreement in support of a carbon capture pilot project at the Big Spring, Texas refinery. The DOE Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Project program provides 70% cost-share for up to $95 million of federal funding to support project development. The project will deploy carbon capture technology at the Big Spring refinery's Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit, while maintaining existing production capabilities and turnaround schedule. Expectations for the project are to capture 145,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, as well as reduce health-harming pollutants, such as sulfur oxide and particulate matter. Carbon dioxide is expected to be transported by existing pipelines for permanent storage or utilization.
Previous report
Our focus on reduction of GHG is a key objective as we strive to be a leader in the transition to a carbon neutral future. Delek's Sustainable Operations Team ("SOT") which is led by our Executive Vice President, Operations coordinates execution of our sustainability objectives including ensuring enterprise strategies, business unit operations, capital spending plans, supply chain and personnel pipeline are in alignment and operating as needed to meet established goals. Delek prioritizes stewardship of the environment, and we focus on how to positively impact our shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities where we operate.
Previous report
Our near-term focus is centered around the following: (1) operations excellence, (2) financial strength and flexibility and (3) strategic initiatives which includes unlocking the "sum of the parts" value of our existing business while identifying growth opportunities to enhance the Company's scale and diversify revenue streams. In 2024, we took steps to refinance the Delek Logistics Partners, LP ("Delek Logistics") long term debt, ending with a more attractive maturity profile. Delek Logistics also completed two public equity offerings of its common units in March and October 2024. These steps allowed us to further execute on our "sum of the parts" plan by facilitating Delek Logistics' acquisition of H2O Midstream, purchase of the Wink to Webster Pipeline joint venture and planned expansion of its natural gas processing plant. These Delek Logistics transactions will enhance Delek Logistics position as a full service (crude, natural gas and water) provider in the most prolific areas of the Permian basin while increasing third party revenue. In addition, the Retail Transaction will allow us to strengthen our balance sheet. We believe each of these steps is consistent with our focus on strategic initiatives which includes unlocking the "sum of the parts". See further discussion in the "Strategic Objectives" section below.

Renewables
Previous report
During the second quarter of 2024, we made the decision to idle the Crossett, Arkansas, Cleburne, Texas and New Albany, Mississippi biodiesel facilities, while exploring viable and sustainable alternatives. Those alternatives could include restarting if market conditions improve, marketing for sale or permanently closing any of the facilities. Our decision to idle these facilities was driven by the decline in the overall biodiesel market and aligns with our continued operational and cost optimization efforts. As a result, we conducted an evaluation of impairment and based on our review we recorded a $22.1 million impairment which included property, plant and equipment and right of use assets. In addition, $0.4 million of severance and benefit expenses were recognized in the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2024. No severance and benefit expenses were recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Our focus on safe and reliable operations is a pillar which underlines all of our business activities. We continue to identify opportunities to mitigate market risk and focus on efforts that improve our overall cost structure while not compromising operational excellence. During the third quarter of 2024, we made steady progress on our "sum of the parts" efforts. We completed the sale of our Retail Stores during the third quarter 2024 for proceeds of $390.2 million and also entered into a 10 year fuel supply agreement whereby Delek will sell to FEMSA certain motor fuel products for use at the Retail Stores. The completion of the Retail Transaction is an important step in our value creation journey. Our logistics segment (or "Logistics") successfully closed H2O Midstream acquisition that expands our gathering footprint in the Midland sub-basin of the Permian, and extended our product offering of wastewater processing and disposal. This acquisition diversifies our logistics customer base to include more third-party customers. While the impact on the third quarter is not significant (as a result of the acquisition closing in September 2024), we expect that the acquisition itself will be immediately accretive, delivering incremental contribution margin and cash flows. We also completed strategic transactions with Delek Logistics including the dropdown of W2W Holdings LLC ("HoldCo") which includes our 15.6% indirect interest in the Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC joint venture as well as amended and extended certain commercial agreements. These transactions are expected to make both Delek and Delek Logistics stronger companies.
Current wording
Our focus on safe and reliable operations is a pillar which underlines all of our business activities. We continue to identify opportunities to mitigate market risk and focus on efforts that improve our overall cost structure while not compromising operational excellence. During the first quarter of 2025, we continued to make progress on our "sum of the parts" efforts. Our logistics segment (or "Logistics") successfully closed the Gravity Acquisition which includes integrated full-cycle water systems in the Permian Basin, in addition to produced water gathering, and transportation assets in the Bakken, and along with the H2O Midstream Acquisition, provide a strong opportunity for integrated crude and water services to Delek Logistics customers. This acquisition represents another significant step in Delek Logistics' commitment of being a full suite crude, gas and water midstream services provider in the Permian Basin in addition to diversifying our logistics customer base to include more third-party customers. We expect that the Gravity Acquisition will be immediately accretive, delivering incremental contribution margin and cash flows. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we entered into additional agreements with Delek Logistics which put additional midstream commercial activities in Delek Logistics and bring refining related activities and assets back to the Refining Segment. Additionally, these transactions increase consolidated financial availability by approximately $250 million.
Previous wording
We had another safe and reliable quarter from an operational perspective; however, the current refining margin environment is challenging as crack spreads narrowed and followed atypical seasonal patterns during the third quarter of 2024. The domestic West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") differentials compared to Brent continued to be favorable, and the WTI Midland to Cushing differential narrowed favorably during the quarter and compared to the third quarter of 2023. Though refining margins softened, demand for refined products continues to be strong. Logistics continued to contribute strong results driven by increased volumes from the Delaware Basin and rate increases. Additionally, Logistics also continues to benefit from strong performance amongst our pipeline joint venture investments. We will continue to execute on our priorities of running safe and reliable operations, and making further progress on our "sum of the parts" efforts, and delivering shareholder value while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility.
Current wording
During the first quarter of 2025, the Refining segment continued to navigate a complex landscape including volatile crude oil prices and economic uncertainty. While crack spreads declined compared to the first quarter of 2024, they increased from the 2024 lows experienced toward the end of the year. Our disciplined approach to cost control, coupled with a focus on our enterprise optimization plan ("EOP") margin enhancements, supported EBITDA growth, while our capital deployment remained aligned with our strategic priorities. The domestic West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") differentials compared to Brent continued to be favorable, and the WTI Midland to Cushing differential widened unfavorably during 2025. Though refining margins softened compared to the first quarter of 2024, demand for refined products continues to be strong. Logistics continued to contribute strong results driven by incremental contributions from H2O Midstream and Gravity. We will continue to execute on our priorities of running safe and reliable operations, making further progress on our "sum of the parts" efforts, and delivering shareholder value while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility.
Previous wording
The near term economic outlook still has some uncertainty with geopolitical instability and commodity market volatility, and as a result we continue to progress our business transformation focused on enterprise-wide opportunities to improve the efficiency of our cost structure. During 2024, we have implemented additional cost reduction measures across the organization, including reducing contract services and reducing or eliminating non-critical travel. We completed our zero based budget action plans and announced a new enterprise optimization plan ("EOP") which includes initiatives that are focused on improving our financial health and ability to generate cash flows. The EOP includes leaner costs including lower general and administrative expenses, lower operating expenses specifically at the Big Spring Refinery and Krotz Springs Refinery and lowering interest expense. The EOP also includes stronger margins including accretive minimal capital projects in our Refining segment and commercial improvements including market optionality, improved product slate and optimization. By executing on our initiatives to optimize our cost structure, we are positioning the Company in the event of lower crack spreads and volatility in the commodity markets.
Current wording
The near term economic outlook still has uncertainty with the introduction of widespread tariffs by the U.S., geopolitical instability and commodity market volatility. The uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations and the potential for further expansion of tariffs have contributed to increased market and commodity volatility and potential economic downturns. As a result, we continue to progress our business transformation focused on enterprise-wide opportunities to improve the efficiency of our cost structure. We continued to advance our strategic initiatives aimed at long-term value creation. This includes the progress made on our EOP. During 2024, we announced a new EOP which includes initiatives that are focused on improving our financial health and ability to generate cash flows. The EOP includes leaner costs including lower general and administrative expenses, lower operating expenses specifically at the Big Spring Refinery and Krotz Springs Refinery and lowering interest expense.

We are an integrated downstream energy business focused on petroleum refining, the transportation, storage and wholesale distribution of crude oil, intermediate and refined products and, prior to July 2024, convenience store retailing. Prior to July 2024, we aggregated our operating segments into three reportable segments: refining, logistics, and retail. However, in July 2024, we entered into a definitive equity purchase agreement (the "Retail Purchase Agreement") with a subsidiary of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (“FEMSA”). Under the terms of the Retail Purchase Agreement, Delek agreed to sell, and FEMSA has agreed to purchase, 100% of the equity interests in four of Delek’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that own and operate 249 retail fuel and convenience stores (the "Retail Stores") under the Delek US Retail brand ("Retail Transaction").

It is vitally important that our strategic objectives, especially in view of the evolutionary direction of our macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, involves a process of continuous evaluation of our business model in terms of cost structure, as well as long-term economic and operational sustainability. More consolidation in our industry is expected from increased cost pressures due in part to the regulatory environment continuing to move towards reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy in the long-term. However, we believe we are uniquely positioned as a leader in operating and excelling in niche markets and could continue capitalizing on and growing our integrated business model. To compete under historic environmental and regulatory changes, companies in our industry will need to be adaptive, forward-thinking and strategic in their approach to long-term sustainability.

We have positioned the Company to continue to run safely, reliably and environmentally responsibly at near or above nameplate capacity while leveraging our Delek Logistics business with an eye towards the One Delek vision. Many uncertainties remain with respect to the global supply and demand of the crude oil and refined products markets and it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts this may have on our operations. We expect refining capacity to shut down, lower refined products inventory and crude oil demand to continue to rise. These factors will help absorb the recent additions in global supply and balance the market over the next 6 to 12 months. However, escalating conflicts in the Middle East could potentially result in supply disruptions or further volatility in crude oil prices.

Environmental regulations and the political environment continue to affect our refining margins in the form of volatility in the price of RINs. We enter into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs of our credits for commitments required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to blend biofuels into fuel products ("RINs Obligation"). On a consolidated basis, we work to balance our RINs Obligation in order to minimize the effect of RINs prices on our results. While we obtain RINs in our refining and logistics segments through our ethanol and biodiesel blending and generate RINs through biodiesel production, our refining segment still must purchase additional RINs to satisfy its obligations. Additionally, our ability to obtain RINs through blending is limited by our refined product slate, blending capabilities and market constraints. The cost to purchase these additional RINs is a significant cash outflow for our business. Increases in the market prices of RINs generally adversely affect our results of operations through changes in fair value to our existing RINs Obligation, to the extent we do not have offsetting RINs inventory on hand or effective economic hedges through net forward purchase commitments. RINs prices are highly sensitive to regulatory and political influence and conditions, and therefore often do not correlate to movements in crude oil prices, refined product prices or crack spreads. Because of the volatility in RINs prices, it is not possible to predict future RINs cost with certainty, and movements in RINs prices can have significant and unanticipated adverse effects on our refining margins that are outside of our control.

Energy costs are a significant element of our Refining Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and can significantly impact our ability to capture crack spreads, with natural gas representing the largest component. Natural gas prices are driven by supply-side factors such as amount of natural gas production, level of natural gas in storage and import and export activity, while demand-side factors include variability of weather, economic growth and the availability and price of other fuels. Refiners and other large-volume fuel consumers may be more or less susceptible to volatility in natural gas prices depending on their consumption levels as well as their capabilities to switch to more economical sources of fuel/energy. Additionally, geographic location of facilities make consumers vulnerable to price differentials of natural gas available at different supply hubs. Within Delek’s geographic footprint, we source the majority of our natural gas from the Gulf Coast, and secondarily from the Permian, coinciding with the physical locations of our refineries. We manage our risk around natural gas prices by entering into variable and fixed-price supply contracts in both the Gulf and Permian Basin or by entering into derivative hedges based on forecasted consumption and forward curve prices, as appropriate, in accordance with our risk policy.
