FINDLAY, Ohio, Nov 5, 2024 – Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) today reported net income attributable to MPC of $622 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, compared with net income attributable to MPC of $3.3 billion, or $8.28 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023.

“We remain committed to peer-leading operational excellence, commercial performance, and profitability per barrel in each of the regions in which we operate,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Maryann Mannen. “MPLX continues to grow, and the durability of its cash flow profile supported a 12.5% increase to its quarterly distribution, strengthening the value proposition to MPC.

Refining & Marketing (R&M)

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2024, versus $4.4 billion for the third quarter of 2023. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $3.82 per barrel for the third quarter of 2024, versus $16.06 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $290 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $153 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by lower market crack spreads.

R&M margin was $14.35 per barrel for the third quarter of 2024, versus $26.16 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023. Crude capacity utilization was approximately 94%, resulting in total throughput of 3.0 million barrels per day (bpd) for the third quarter of 2024.

Refining operating costs were $5.30 per barrel for the third quarter of 2024, versus $5.14 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023.

Midstream

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2024, versus $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2023. The results were primarily driven by higher rates and volumes, including growth from equity affiliates, and contributions from recently acquired assets in the Utica and Permian basins.

Corporate and Items Not Allocated

Corporate expenses totaled $224 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $246 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital

As of September 30, 2024, MPC had $5.1 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, including $2.4 billion of cash at MPLX, and $5 billion available on its bank revolving credit facility. The company repaid the $750 million of senior notes that matured in September 2024 and anticipates refinancing the notes.

In the third quarter, the company returned approximately $3.0 billion of capital to shareholders through $2.7 billion of share repurchases and $273 million of dividends. Through October 31, the company repurchased an additional $0.5 billion of company shares.

On October 30, MPC announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly dividend to $0.91 per share. The dividend is payable December 10, 2024, to shareholders of record on November 20, 2024.

Additionally, the Board of Directors approved an incremental $5 billion share repurchase authorization. With the addition of this new authorization, the company has $8.5 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations. The company may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Strategic and Operations Update

MPC’s 2024 capital spending plan includes high-return investments at its Los Angeles and Galveston Bay refineries. In addition to these multi-year investments, the company is executing shorter-term projects that offer high returns targeted at enhancing refinery yields, improving energy efficiency, and lowering costs.

MPLX is advancing growth projects anchored in the Permian and Marcellus basins. MPLX’s integrated footprints in these basins have positioned the partnership with a steady source of growth opportunities.

In the Permian, MPLX gas processing capacity is expected to reach 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) in the second half of 2025. In the Northeast, with the addition of the new facility announced today, MPLX’s gas processing capacity is expected to reach 8.1 bcf/d and total fractionation capacity to 800 thousand bpd in the second half of 2026. In the Utica basin, utilization of existing capacity is increasing, with gas processing volumes continuing to grow.

In the third quarter, MPLX closed the acquisition of its additional interest in the BANGL pipeline, bringing its ownership to 45%. This natural gas liquids pipeline is being expanded to increase capacity to 250 thousand bpd, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2025. MPLX and its partners are progressing the Blackcomb and Rio Bravo natural gas pipelines, connecting the Permian to domestic and export markets along the Gulf Coast. Both pipelines are anticipated in service in the second half of 2026.

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.

Adjusted net income attributable to MPC	$	622	$	3,224	$	3,001	$	8,174

Diluted income per share	$	1.87	$	8.28	$	8.83	$	19.57
Adjusted diluted income per share	$	1.87	$	8.14	$	8.62	$	19.44

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding		332		396		348		420

(a)Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 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.
