Current report

On July 28, 2026, we announced plans to pursue a separation of our Lubricants & Specialties segment through the capital markets, creating a new independent, publicly traded company (the “Potential Separation”). As part of this transformation, we also made the decision to retire our Mississauga, Ontario base oil refining assets, with the transition expected to be substantially completed over the course of 2027 (the “Mississauga Asset Retirement”). The Lubricants & Specialties business will maintain the continued operations of its R&D laboratory, lubricant blending and packaging, as well as supply chain, logistics, and commercial operations, in the Ontario region, and will also continue to deliver base oil solutions through strategic third-party commercial arrangements, complemented by continued access to Group I and specialty products from HF Sinclair’s Tulsa refinery.

Current report

Adjusted refinery gross margin per barrel sold increased $9.45, or 57%, from $16.50 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $25.95 for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Adjusted refinery gross margin per barrel sold increased $5.22, or 40%, from $12.91 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $18.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Current report

In the Renewables segment, margins were favorably impacted in the second quarter of 2026 from improved RINs prices, higher Producer’s Tax Credit (“PTC”) benefits and increased volumes. During the second quarter of 2025, we were only able to recognize partial benefits from the PTC.

Current report

In the Lubricants & Specialties segment, we saw solid performance (excluding first-in, first out (“FIFO”) impacts), driven by higher sales volumes and product prices during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous wording

In the Refining segment, we saw stronger refining margins in the West region in the back half of the quarter, which were partially offset by weaker refining margins in the Mid-Continent region throughout the quarter. Additionally, our results were impacted by planned turnarounds at our Puget Sound and Woods Cross refineries. For the second quarter of 2026, we expect to run between 600,000-630,000 barrels per day of crude oil, which reflects the completion of the turnarounds at our Puget Sound and Woods Cross refineries, planned maintenance at our Parco and Navajo refineries and unplanned maintenance at our El Dorado refinery.

Current wording

In the Refining segment, we saw strong refining margins and volumes in the Mid-Continent and West regions as a result of steady demand, tight supply and favorable crack spreads. Additionally, our results were impacted by planned maintenance at our Parco and Navajo refineries and unplanned maintenance at our El Dorado refinery. For the third quarter of 2026, we expect to run between 590,000-620,000 barrels per day of crude oil, which reflects the planned turnaround at our El Dorado refinery.

Previous wording

In the Marketing segment, we continued to realize strong value from our Sinclair branded sites during the first quarter of 2026, as the marketing business provided a consistent sales channel with margin uplift for our produced fuels. We expect to grow the number of branded sites by approximately 10% annually. In February 2026, we formed Green Trail Fuels, LLC, a new joint venture in which we hold a 50% non-operating economic interest. The new joint venture includes various retail sites across Colorado and New Mexico.

Previous wording

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.

Current wording

In the Midstream segment, our results continued to benefit from higher pipeline revenues and throughput volumes, partially offset by higher operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Previous wording

Previous 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.
