For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Blue Dolphin reported an adjusted refinery operations segment deficit of $4.0 million compared to adjusted refinery operations segment margin of $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Blue Dolphin's refining margins for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by less favorable refining margins and lower sales volume.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, adjusted refinery operations segment margin was $1.3 million compared to adjusted refinery operations segment margin of $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Blue Dolphin reported tolling and terminaling segment margin of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.3 million for the same period a year earlier.

"While third quarter earnings were less than planned due, in part, to soft refining margins, we relied on our balance sheet to support operations," said Jonathan P. Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Dolphin Energy Company.
