Refining & Marketing (R&M)

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023, versus $5.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $16.06 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023, versus $19.87 per barrel for the third quarter of 2022. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $153 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $384 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven by lower market crack spreads.

R&M margin was $26.16 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023, versus $30.21 per barrel for the third quarter of 2022. Crude capacity utilization was approximately 94%, resulting in total throughput of 3.0 million barrels per day for the third quarter of 2023.

Refining operating costs per barrel were $5.14 for the third quarter of 2023, versus $5.63 for the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by lower energy costs.

Midstream

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2023, versus $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022. The results were primarily driven by higher rates, growth from equity affiliates, and higher total throughputs, partially offset by lower natural gas liquids prices. Third-quarter 2023 segment adjusted EBITDA excludes Garyville incident response costs of $63 million.

Corporate and Items Not Allocated

Corporate expenses totaled $246 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared with $173 million in the third quarter of 2022. The variance was primarily driven by a $35 million charge related to valuation of existing performance-based stock compensation expense and $25 million of non-operating equipment disposal expense.

In the third quarter of 2023, items not allocated to segments include a $106 million gain on the sale of the company's interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal. In the third quarter of 2022, items not allocated to segments include a $549 million gain for the contribution of the Martinez assets to the Martinez Renewables LLC joint venture and a $509 million gain related to an MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) reclassification of a third-party contract. These have been excluded from the company's adjusted results.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital

As of September 30, 2023, MPC had $13.1 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and $5 billion available on its bank revolving credit facility.

In the third quarter, the company returned approximately $3.1 billion of capital to shareholders through $2.8 billion of share repurchases and $297 million of dividends. Through October 27, the company repurchased an additional $1.0 billion of company shares.

On October 25, MPC announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly dividend to $0.825 per share. The dividend is payable December 11, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2023.    

Additionally, the Board of Directors approved an incremental $5 billion share repurchase authorization. With the addition of this new authorization, the company has a total of $8.3 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations as of October 27.

Strategic and Operations Update

At the Martinez Renewables LLC fuels facility, construction activities are progressing. Pretreatment capabilities are increasing through the second half of 2023, and the facility is expected to produce 730 million gallons per year by the end of 2023.

MPC's Midstream segment remains focused on executing the strategic priorities of strict capital discipline, fostering a low-cost culture, and optimizing the portfolio. MPLX is advancing growth projects anchored in the Marcellus, Permian and Bakken basins.

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

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 and that their exclusion results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted diluted earnings 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.

(a)

Income taxes for adjusted earnings were calculated by applying a combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 22% to the pre-tax adjustments. 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 believe this non-GAAP financial measure is used 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 calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
