Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) today reported net income attributable to MPC of $511 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares with a net loss attributable to MPC of $(74) million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income was $487 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $(64) million for the first quarter of 2025.

The first quarter of 2026 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $2.8 billion, compared with $2.0 billion for the first quarter of 2025.

"Our first-quarter results underscore the strength and reliability of our integrated system and our disciplined approach to capital deployment," said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Maryann Mannen. "Accelerating our planned turnaround activity in the quarter enhances our operational readiness to supply the elevated levels of current market demand. MPLX progressed its mid-single digit growth strategy through expansions across its Natural Gas and NGL value chains, underpinning distribution growth and strengthening cash flow stability to MPC, positioning us to lead in capital return."

Results from Operations

Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited)

| | | Three Months Ended

March 31, | | | | | (In millions) | | 2026 | | | 2025 | | Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA | $ | 1,377 | | $ | 489 | | Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA | | 1,598 | | | 1,720 | | Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA | | 38 | | | (42) | | Subtotal | | 3,013 | | | 2,167 | | Corporate | | (274) | | | (210) | | Add: Depreciation and amortization | | 24 | | | 18 | | Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 2,763 | | $ | 1,975 |

Refining & Marketing (R&M)

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2026, versus $489 million for the first quarter of 2025. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $5.37 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026, versus $1.91 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $530 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $454 million in the first quarter of 2025.

R&M margin was $17.74 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026, versus $13.38 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025. Crude capacity utilization was 89%, resulting in total throughput of 2.9 million barrels per day (bpd) for the first quarter of 2026. Results benefited from higher crack spreads, partially offset by derivative losses related to our economic hedging program.

Refining operating costs were $6.23 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026, versus $5.74 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting higher project-related expense associated with increased turnaround activity. Full-year planned turnaround expense is unchanged, estimated at $1.35 billion.

Midstream

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2026, versus $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by derivative losses of $77 million on economic hedges in the first quarter of 2026 and a $37 million non-recurring benefit associated with a customer agreement in the first quarter of 2025.

Renewable Diesel

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $38 million in the first quarter of 2026, versus $(42) million for the first quarter of 2025. The results reflect a stronger margin environment and recognition of clean fuel production tax credits due to clarity on 45Z regulation, partially offset by decreased utilization due to planned downtime at the Martinez Renewables joint venture facility, compared to the prior year quarter.

Corporate and Items Not Allocated

Corporate expenses totaled $274 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $210 million in the first quarter of 2025. The variance was primarily due to the fair value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation driven by recent stock performance and environmental remediation expense related to historical operations at the Martinez refinery.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital

As of March 31, 2026, MPC had $2.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents, including $1.5 billion of cash at MPLX, and no borrowings outstanding under its $5 billion five-year bank revolving credit facility.

In the first quarter, the company returned over $1.0 billion of capital to shareholders. As of March 31, 2026, the company had $3.6 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

Additionally, the Board of Directors approved an incremental $5 billion share repurchase authorization. With the addition of this new authorization, the company would have had $8.6 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations as of March 31, 2026. 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 Update

MPC's 2026 capital spending outlook (excluding MPLX) is $1.5 billion. Approximately 65% of its overall spending is focused on value enhancing capital and 35% on sustaining capital. MPC's outlook includes high-return investments at its Galveston Bay, Robinson, El Paso, and Garyville refineries. In the first quarter of 2026, the Garyville jet flexibility project was brought online. Modifications to the hydrocracker fractionator allow current products to be upgraded to higher value jet fuel, allowing the company to take advantage of growing domestic and export demand. In addition to these multi-year investments, the company is executing shorter-term projects that offer high returns through margin enhancement and cost reduction.

| Investment | Details | Expected In-Service | | Garyville

Jet Flexibility | Increases flexibility to maximize higher value jet fuel production to meet growing demand | 1Q26 - Completed | | El Paso

Yield Improvement | Upgrades fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) and alkylation units to drive volume expansion | 2Q26 | | Robinson

Product Flexibility | Increases flexibility to maximize higher value jet fuel production to meet growing demand | 3Q26 | | Galveston Bay

Distillate Hydrotreater | Increases ability to supply high-value ULSD to domestic and export markets | YE27 | | Garyville

Feedstock Optimization | Optimizes feedstock slate to enhance margin | YE27 | | Garyville

Product Export Flexibility | Increases flexibility to produce incremental export premium gasoline and lowers costs | YE27 |

MPLX is investing 90% of its $2.4 billion organic growth capital plan toward opportunities to meet growing natural gas and NGL infrastructure needs. With projects concentrated in the Permian and Marcellus, two of the most prolific and competitive basins in North America, investments in these value chains reflect MPLX's confidence in the long-term fundamentals of the energy market, offer some of the most compelling investments in the midstream sector, and are expected to generate mid-teens returns.
