Added paragraphs (3)

Current report

In the Renewables segment, higher margins in the quarter were a result of the narrowing of the BOHO spread, higher RINs prices and higher Producer’s Tax Credit (“PTC”) benefits. PTCs recognized in the first quarter of 2026 included prior year benefits of $49 million that were recognized following the February 2026 proposed ruling by the United States Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service. For the second quarter of 2026, we expect continued strength in RINs and LCFS prices.

Current report

In the Lubricants & Specialties segment, our results (excluding first-in, first out (“FIFO”) impacts) were impacted by the dislocation between rising feedstock costs and product sales price increases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Results for the quarter included contributions from our January 2026 acquisition of Industrial Oils Unlimited, LLC, which expanded our specialty product portfolio and is expected to support future growth opportunities.

Current report

In the Midstream segment, our results continued to benefit from higher third-party pipeline revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2026, but were marginally impacted by a fuel-contamination incident at one of our product terminals in Colorado in the first quarter of 2026.
Removed paragraphs (6)

Previous report

In the Renewables segment, we saw lower margins, primarily due to elevated feedstock costs in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, we recognized incrementally more in value from the Producer’s Tax Credit (“PTC”) in the third quarter of 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2025, we expect to capture incrementally more value from the PTC.

Previous report

In the Lubricants & Specialties segment, we continued to see solid performance (excluding first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) impacts), driven by sales mix optimization and base oil integration across our portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and increased sales volumes compared to a quarter ago.

Previous report

In the Midstream segment, our results benefited from higher pipeline revenues and throughput volumes and lower operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a quarter ago.

Previous report

On May 7, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the “May 2024 Share Repurchase Program”), which replaced all existing share repurchase programs. The timing and amount of share repurchases under the May 2024 Share Repurchase Program, including those from REH Company, LLC (“REH Company” and together with its affiliate REH Advisors Inc., “REH”), will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant conditions.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Previous report

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.

Previous wording

Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) regulations, which increased the volume of renewable fuels mandated to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. The regulations, in part, require refiners to increase amounts annually of “renewable fuels” to their petroleum products or purchase credits, known as RINs, in lieu of such blending. Compliance with RFS regulations significantly increases our Cost of materials and other, with RINs costs totaling $76 million and $394 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $119 million and $334 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Small refinery RINs waivers granted by the EPA increased pre-tax earnings by $171 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, of which $115 million was recognized in Cost of materials and other and $56 million was recognized in Sales and other revenues. At September 30, 2025, our open RINs credit obligations were $44 million.

Current wording

Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the EPA promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) regulations, which increased the volume of renewable fuels mandated to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. The regulations, in part, require refiners to satisfy annual renewable volume obligations calculated as a percentage of their petroleum fuel shipments or imports, which may be met through physical blending of renewable fuels or by purchasing and retiring RINs. Compliance with RFS regulations significantly increased our Cost of materials and other, with RINs costs totaling $358 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $21 million in Sales and other revenues related to the small refinery RINs waivers granted by the EPA in the fourth quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, our open RINs credit obligations were $306 million.
