Refining & Marketing (R&M)
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1,997 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $559 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $7.15 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $2.03 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $410 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $281 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
R&M margin was $18.65 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $12.93 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024. Crude capacity utilization was 95%, resulting in total throughput of 3.0 million barrels per day (bpd) for the fourth quarter of 2025. R&M margin results were driven by higher crack spreads compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Refining operating costs were $5.70 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $5.26 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting higher project related expense associated with increased turnaround activity and higher energy costs.
Midstream
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $1.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024. The results reflect higher rates and throughputs plus contributions from recently acquired assets, which were more than offset by higher operating expenses and the divestiture of non-core gathering and processing assets.
Renewable Diesel
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, versus $28 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The results reflect increased utilization to 94%, offset by a weaker margin environment compared to the prior year quarter.
Corporate and Items Not Allocated
Corporate expenses totaled $236 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $189 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital
As of December 31, 2025, MPC had $3.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents, including $2.1 billion of cash at MPLX, and no borrowings outstanding under its $5 billion five-year bank revolving credit facility.
In the fourth quarter, the company returned approximately $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders. As of December 31, 2025, the company had $4.4 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

References to Earnings and Defined Terms
References to earnings mean net income attributable to MPC from the statements of income. Unless otherwise indicated, references to earnings and earnings per share are MPC's share after excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Refining margin capture or "capture" is an operations metric that represents MPC's ability to convert benchmark market conditions into realized performance. Capture reflects the percentage of our R&M Margin Indicator realized in our reported R&M Margin and is calculated by dividing our reported R&M Margin to the R&M Margin Indicator. We use and believe our investors use this metric to evaluate our Refining & Marketing segment's operating, financial and commercial performance relative to benchmark margin and market indicators and prevailing market conditions.
Market Data
Certain relevant benchmark margin and market data, including pricing, regional and blended crack spreads and sweet and sour crude differentials, along with a hypothetical Refining and Marketing margin indicator based on such margin and market data and operational guidance provided for each quarter, is available on MPC's Investors website at www.marathonpetroleum.com/Investors/Investor-Market-Data. MPC intends to update this information each month no later than the close of business on the second business day following the end of each month unless otherwise noted and may also provide additional updates within each month.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to MPC and Adjusted Diluted Income Per Share
Adjusted net income attributable to MPC is defined as net income attributable to MPC excluding the items in the table below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted diluted income per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to MPC divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.
We believe the use of adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share provides us and our investors with important measures of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC or adjusted diluted income per share should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to net income attributable to MPC, diluted net income per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(c)
Income taxes for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were calculated by applying a federal statutory rate and a blended state tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments after non-controlling interest. The corresponding adjustments to reported income taxes are shown in the table above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Amounts included in net income (loss) attributable to MPC and excluded from adjusted EBITDA include (i) net interest and other financial costs; (ii) provision/benefit for income taxes; (iii) noncontrolling interests; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) refining planned turnaround costs and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary, as shown in the table below. We believe excluding turnaround costs from this metric is useful for comparability to other companies as certain of our competitors defer these costs and amortize them between turnarounds.
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and operating results of our ongoing business operations. Additionally, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing and benchmarking our operating results from period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to income (loss) from operations, net income attributable to MPC, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Refining & Marketing Margin
Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products. We use and believe our investors use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our Refining & Marketing segment's operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry's market reference product margins. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, Refining & Marketing gross margin or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
