PART I
Item 1. Business
OVERVIEW
MPC has more than 135 years of history in the energy business, and is a leading, integrated, downstream energy company. We operate one of the nation's largest refining systems with approximately 3.0 million barrels per day of crude oil refining capacity and believe we are one of the largest wholesale suppliers of gasoline and distillates to resellers in the United States. We distribute our refined products through one of the largest terminal operations in the United States and one of the largest private domestic fleets of inland petroleum product barges. Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas and NGLs from some of the largest supply basins in the United States to domestic and international markets. In addition, we are one of the largest producers and marketers of renewable diesel in the United States.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we established a Renewable Diesel segment, which includes renewable diesel activities and assets historically reported in the Refining & Marketing segment. Prior period segment information has been recast for comparability.
Our operations consist of three reportable operating segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.
-
Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States, purchases refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services provided largely by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to independent entrepreneurs who operate primarily Marathon® branded outlets and through long-term supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.
-
Midstream – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment via refining logistics assets, pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges; gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. The Midstream segment primarily reflects the results of MPLX. MPLX is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership (“MLP”) formed in 2012 that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets and provides fuels distribution services. As of December 31, 2024, we owned the general partner of MPLX and approximately 64 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.
-
Renewable Diesel – processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, markets renewable diesel and distributes renewable diesel through our Midstream segment and third parties. We sell renewable diesel to wholesale marketing customers, to buyers on the spot market and through long-term supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.
Corporate History and Structure
MPC was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 2009 in connection with an internal restructuring of Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon Oil”). On May 25, 2011, the Marathon Oil board of directors approved the spinoff of its Refining, Marketing & Transportation Business into an independent, publicly traded company, MPC, through the distribution of MPC common stock to the stockholders of Marathon Oil on June 30, 2011. Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MPC.”
On October 1, 2018, we acquired Andeavor. Andeavor shareholders received in the aggregate approximately 239.8 million shares of MPC common stock valued at $19.8 billion and $3.5 billion in cash. Andeavor was a highly integrated marketing, logistics and refining company operating primarily in the Western and Mid-Continent United States. Our acquisition of Andeavor in 2018 substantially increased our geographic diversification and the scale of our assets, which provides increased opportunities to optimize our system.
On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, LLC (“Speedway”), our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) for cash proceeds of $21.38 billion ($17.22 billion after cash-tax payments). This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $11.68 billion ($8.02 billion after income taxes), after deducting the book value of the net assets and certain other adjustments.
OUR OPERATIONS
Refining & Marketing
Refineries
We currently own and operate refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States with an aggregate crude oil refining capacity of 2,963 mbpcd. During 2024, our refineries processed 2,714 mbpd of crude oil and 208 mbpd of other charge and blendstocks. During 2023, our refineries processed 2,677 mbpd of crude oil and 226 mbpd of other charge and blendstocks.
Our refineries include crude oil atmospheric and vacuum distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, catalytic reforming, coking, desulfurization and sulfur recovery units. The refineries process a wide variety of condensate and light and heavy crude oils purchased from various domestic and foreign suppliers. We produce numerous refined products, ranging from transportation fuels, such as reformulated gasolines, blend-grade gasolines intended for blending with ethanol and ULSD fuel, to heavy fuel oil and asphalt. Additionally, we manufacture NGLs and petrochemicals and propane. See the Refined Product Sales section for further information about the products we produce.
Our refineries are largely integrated with each other via pipelines, terminals and barges to maximize operating efficiency. The transportation links that connect our refineries allow the movement of intermediate products between refineries to optimize operations, produce higher margin products and efficiently utilize our processing capacity. Also, shipping intermediate products between facilities during partial refinery shutdowns allows us to utilize processing capacity that is not directly affected by the shutdown work.
Planned maintenance activities, or turnarounds, requiring temporary shutdown of certain refinery operating units, are periodically performed at each refinery.
Following is a description of each of our refineries and their capacity by region.
Gulf Coast Region (1,237 mbpcd)
Galveston Bay, Texas City, Texas Refinery (631 mbpcd)
Our Galveston Bay refinery is a combination of our former Texas City refinery and Galveston Bay refinery. Following the completion of the STAR project in 2023, which added 40 mbpcd of capacity, it is now our largest refinery. The refinery is located on the Texas Gulf Coast southeast of Houston, Texas and can process a wide variety of crude oils into gasoline, distillates, NGLs and petrochemicals, heavy fuel oil and propane. The refinery has access to the export market and multiple options to sell refined products. Our cogeneration facility, which supplies the Galveston Bay refinery, currently has 1,055 megawatts of electrical production capacity and can produce 4.3 million pounds of steam per hour. Approximately 47 percent of the power generated in 2024 was used at the refinery, with the remaining electricity being sold into the electricity grid.
Garyville, Louisiana Refinery (606 mbpcd)
Our Garyville refinery is located along the Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana between New Orleans, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Garyville refinery is configured to process a wide variety of crude oils into gasoline, distillates, NGLs and petrochemicals,

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating us and our common stock. Although the risks are organized by headings, and each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected by these risks, and, as a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline. We have in the past been adversely affected by certain of, and may in the future be affected by, these risks.
Business and Operational Risks
Our financial results are affected by volatile refining margins, which are dependent on factors beyond our control.
Our operating results, cash flows, future rate of growth, the carrying value of our assets and our ability to execute share repurchases and continue the payment of our base dividend are highly dependent on the margins we realize on our refined products. Historically, refining and marketing margins have been volatile, and we believe they will continue to be volatile. Our margins from the sale of gasoline and other refined products are influenced by a number of conditions, including the price of crude oil and other feedstocks. The prices of feedstocks and the prices at which we can sell our refined products fluctuate independently due to a variety of regional and global market factors that are beyond our control, including:
-
worldwide and domestic supplies of and demand for feedstocks and refined products;
-
transportation infrastructure cost and availability;
-
operation levels of other refineries in our markets;
-
the development by competitors of new refining or renewable conversion capacity;
-
natural gas and electricity supply costs;
-
political instability, threatened or actual terrorist incidents, armed conflict or other global political or economic conditions;
-
tariffs on goods, including crude oil and other feedstocks, imported into the United States;
-
local weather conditions; and
-
the occurrence of other risks described herein.
Some of these factors can vary by region and may change quickly, adding to market volatility, while others may have longer-term effects. The longer-term effects of these and other factors on refining and marketing margins are uncertain. We generally purchase our feedstocks weeks before we refine them and sell the refined products. Price level changes during the period between purchasing feedstocks and selling the refined products from these feedstocks can have a significant effect on our financial results. We also purchase refined products manufactured by others for resale to our customers. Price changes during the periods between purchasing and reselling those refined products can have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In early 2025, the new U.S. presidential administration announced broad-based tariffs on goods imported from certain countries where we purchase feedstocks, including a ten percent tariff on energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas and NGLs imported from Canada. Some of these tariffs have been stayed for brief periods of at least 30 days. If the provisions of those tariffs are maintained as proposed, we would expect added market volatility, with the longer term impacts to our refining and marketing margin uncertain. In addition, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries or other potential government actions, would likely result in further adverse impacts.
Lower refining and marketing margins have in the past, and may in the future, lead us to reduce the amount of refined products we produce, which may reduce our revenues, income from operations and cash flows. Significant reductions in refining and marketing margins could require us to reduce our capital expenditures, impair the carrying value of our assets (such as property, plant and equipment, inventory or goodwill), and require us to re-evaluate practices regarding our repurchase activity and dividends.
Legal, technological, political and scientific developments regarding emissions, fuel efficiency and alternative fuel vehicles may decrease demand for liquid transportation fuels.
Developments aimed at reducing vehicle emissions, increasing vehicle efficiency or reducing the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles may decrease the demand and may increase the cost for our transportation fuels. EPA and NHTSA have promulgated separate rules setting more stringent requirements for vehicles. NHTSA’s current CAFE standards increase in stringency from model year 2023 levels by eight percent annually for model years 2024-2025 and ten percent annually for model year 2026. EPA’s model year 2023-2026 CO2 emission standards result in average fuel economy of 40 mpg in model year 2026. In addition, NHTSA and EPA finalized new rules setting even more stringent requirements for model years 2027-2032. NHTSA’s standards would require an increase in fuel efficiency of two percent annually. EPA’s standards would require a significant increase in electric vehicle production to meet the standards.
In addition, California and several states have adopted regulations that require increased sales of electric vehicles. California, in particular, has passed several regulations mandating electric vehicles. These regulations include Advanced Clean Cars (“ACC”)
I, ACC II, and Advanced Clean Trucks. California has received Clean Air Act waivers from U.S. EPA to implement these programs.
Moreover, consumer acceptance and market penetration of electric, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles continues to increase. In 2021, several automobile manufacturers jointly announced their shared goal that 40-50 percent of their new vehicle sales be battery electric, fuel cell or plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2030. Other automobile manufacturers have similar, or more aggressive, goals with respect to vehicle electrification. Technological breakthroughs relating to renewable fuels or other fuel alternatives such as hydrogen or ammonia, or efficiency improvements for internal combustion engines could reduce demand for liquid transportation fuels.
Together, these trends and developments have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse effect on sales of our liquid transportation fuels, which in turn could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations are subject to business interruptions and present inherent hazards and risks, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations are subject to business interruptions, such as scheduled and unscheduled refinery turnarounds, unplanned maintenance, explosions, fires, refinery or pipeline releases, product quality incidents, power outages, severe weather, labor disputes, acts of terrorism, or other natural or man-made disasters. These types of incidents adversely affect our operations and may result in serious personal injury or loss of human life, significant damage to property and equipment, impaired ability to manufacture our products, environmental pollution, and substantial losses. We have experienced certain of these incidents in the past.
For assets located near populated areas, the level of damage resulting from these incidents could be greater. In addition, we operate in and adjacent to environmentally sensitive waters where tanker, pipeline, rail car and refined product transportation and storage operations are closely regulated by federal, state and local agencies and monitored by environmental interest groups. Certain of our refineries receive crude oil and other feedstocks by tanker or barge. MPLX operates a fleet of

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
We have processes in place designed to protect our information systems, data, assets, infrastructure and computing environments from cybersecurity threats and risks while maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability. These enterprise-wide processes are based upon policies, practices and standards that guide us on identifying, assessing, and managing material cybersecurity risks and include, but are not limited to:
-
placing security limits on physical and network access to our information technology (“IT”) and operating technology (“OT”) systems;
-
employing internal IT and OT controls designed to detect cybersecurity threats by collecting and analyzing data in our centralized cybersecurity operations center;
-
utilizing layers of defensive methodologies designed to facilitate cyber resilience, minimize attack surfaces, and provide flexibility and scalability in our ability to address cybersecurity risks and threats;
-
providing cybersecurity threat and awareness training to employees and contractors;
-
limiting remote network access to our IT and OT network environments; and
-
assessing our cybersecurity resiliency through various methods, including penetration testing, tabletop exercises with varying scenarios and participants ranging from individuals on our operations teams to executive leadership, and analyzing our corporate cybersecurity incident response plan.
We apply an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) methodology as established and led by our executive leadership team and overseen by our Board to identify, assess, and manage enterprise-level risks. Our cybersecurity risk program directly integrates and is intended to align with our governing ERM program.
We engage with external resources to contribute to and provide independent evaluation of our cybersecurity practices, including a periodic assessment of our cybersecurity program that is performed by a third party. Our cybersecurity leadership and operational teams monitor cybersecurity threat intelligence and applicable cybersecurity regulatory requirements in a variety of ways, including by communicating with federal agencies, trade associations, service providers, and other miscellaneous third-party resources. Our management team, through consultation with our Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer (“CDO”), Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), and the Audit Committee of our Board, use the information gathered from these sources to inform long-term cybersecurity investments and strategies which seek to identify cybersecurity threats and protect against, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
The information systems, data, assets, infrastructure, and computing environments of our third-party service providers are also at risk of cybersecurity incidents. We manage third-party service provider cybersecurity risks through contract management, evaluation of applicable security control assessments, and third-party risk assessment processes.
As of February 27, 2025, we do not believe that any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of past cybersecurity incidents, have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that our cybersecurity processes will prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents or threats and that efforts will always be successful. It is possible that cybersecurity incidents may occur and could have a material adverse effect on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Business and Operational Risks--We are increasingly dependent on the performance of our information technology systems and those of our third-party business partners and service providers” in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Governance
Our full Board of Directors oversees enterprise-level risks and has delegated to the Audit Committee of our Board oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats as informed through the ERM program. Our CDO and CISO are standing members of the ERM committee, comprised of members of senior management, and as part of the committee, report on and evaluate cybersecurity threats and risk management efforts, as communicated to them by way of their direct reports and the larger cybersecurity team. The CDO and CISO are responsible for managing risks from cybersecurity threats. The CDO and CISO provide regular cybersecurity briefings to the Board of Directors including the Audit Committee, with a minimum of two briefings per year and additional briefings as needed. The Audit Committee also has direct access to the CDO and CISO and their management teams for other updates on cybersecurity and information security strategy throughout the year. Additionally, the CDO and CISO, from time to time, meet with members of management to discuss cybersecurity risks, strategy, and threats.
Our CISO is responsible for implementing the cybersecurity program which is comprised of Cybersecurity GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance), Cybersecurity Architecture, Engineering & Operations, and a Cyber Fusion Center that includes Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability Management, & Incident Response. Our CISO has more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and has held various leadership and strategic roles across IT, software R&D and marketing, including collectively serving as a chief information security officer for seven years at two publicly traded companies. Our CISO also holds an Executive Master in Cybersecurity degree, a Master of Computer Science degree, and undergraduate degrees in both computer science and mathematics.
Our CISO works at the direction of the CDO, who has more than 20 years of executive IT leadership experience and leads the company’s Digital and Information Technology functions that seek to provide innovative, secure, and reliable technology products and services to MPC and its customers. Prior to joining MPC in 2021, our CDO was employed by GE and its subsidiary companies for over 20 years, holding several executive IT leadership roles with increasing responsibility. He was then named Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Services for parent company GE in 2017 and was later named the Vice President and Chief Information Officer of GE Healthcare.

REFINING & MARKETING
The table below sets forth the location and crude oil refining capacity for each of our refineries as of December 31, 2024. Refining throughput can exceed crude oil refining capacity due to the processing of other charge and blendstocks in addition to crude oil and the timing of planned turnaround and major maintenance activity.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than a specified threshold. We use a threshold of $1 million for this purpose.
Climate Change Litigation
Governmental and other entities in various states have filed climate-related lawsuits against a number of energy companies, including MPC. Although each suit is separate and unique, the lawsuits generally allege defendants made knowing misrepresentations about knowingly concealing, or failing to warn of the impacts of their petroleum products, which led to
increased demand and worsened climate change. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories, as well as breaches of consumer protection and unfair trade statutes. Similar lawsuits may be filed in other jurisdictions. The names of the courts in which the proceedings are pending and the dates instituted are as follows:

Dakota Access Pipeline
MPLX holds a 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) which owns and operates the Bakken Pipeline system. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (“D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement going forward. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The pipeline remains operational while the Army Corps finalizes its decision which will follow the issuance of the final EIS. According to public statements from Army Corps officials, the EIS is now expected to be issued in 2025.
MPLX has entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby it, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system.
If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2024, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $78 million.
Tesoro High Plains Pipeline
In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. After subsequent appeal proceedings and in compliance with a new order issued by the BIA, in December 2020, THPP paid approximately $4 million in assessed trespass damages and ceased use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. In March 2021, the BIA issued an order purporting to vacate the BIA's prior orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass and direct the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order. In April 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (collectively, the “U.S. Government Parties”) challenging the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass. On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer and counterclaims to THPP’s suit claiming THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seek disgorgement of pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. On November 8, 2023, the District Court of North Dakota granted THPP’s motion to sever and stay the U.S. Government Parties’ counterclaims. The case will proceed on the merits of THPP’s challenge to the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass. THPP continues not to operate the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue.
Edwardsville Incident
In March 2022, the State of Illinois brought an action in Madison County Circuit Court in Illinois against Marathon Pipe Line LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX, asserting various violations and demanding a permanent injunction and civil penalties in connection with a release of crude oil on the Wood River to Patoka 22” line near Edwardsville, Illinois. In September 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice and EPA confirmed they will be pursuing federal enforcement for alleged Clean Water Act violations arising from this incident as well as three pipeline incidents in Illinois and Indiana in 2018, 2020 and 2021. We cannot currently estimate the timing of the resolution of this matter but do not believe any civil penalty will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
EPA Enforcement
On December 18, 2023, EPA Region 6 issued a Notice of Violation and Opportunity to Confer alleging violations of the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations at 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart FF (“BWON”) and of the New Source Performance Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds from Petroleum Wastewater Systems at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Subpart QQQ (“NSPS QQQ”) at our Garyville refinery. On January 10, 2024, EPA Region 5 issued a Finding of Violation alleging violations of BWON and NSPS QQQ at our St. Paul Park refinery. In addition, EPA has conducted a compliance inspection at our Anacortes refinery. In February 2024, EPA published an enforcement alert noting its ongoing efforts to evaluate petroleum refineries’ compliance with BWON and NSPS QQQ. We have begun discussions with EPA to resolve these matters. We cannot currently estimate the amount of any civil penalty or the timing of the resolution of these matters, but do not believe any civil penalty will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On August 30, 2012, MPC entered into a consent decree with the EPA regarding the operation of flares at six of our refineries. The consent decree was modified on September 15, 2016. On December 20, 2023, MPC formally submitted a request to the EPA to terminate the consent decree. The EPA may seek payment of stipulated penalties for violations of the consent decree as a condition of termination. Based on negotiations with the EPA in the third quarter of 2024, we believe resolution of the stipulated penalty demands may result in the payment of $1 million or more, but do not believe any stipulated penalties will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
All statements in this section, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See “Disclosures Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. The following information concerning our business, results of operations and financial condition should also be read in conjunction with the information included under Item 1. Business, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Business Update
The global macro environment continues to deliver refined product demand growth. In 2024, we saw steady year-over-year demand for gasoline and diesel and growing demand for jet fuel. Longer term, demand growth is expected to exceed the net supply impact from limited capacity additions through the end of the decade and announced and expected refinery rationalizations. We anticipate these fundamentals, as well as the U.S. refining industry’s current structural advantages over the rest of the world, will support a constructive environment for U.S. refiners.
In June 2023, the California legislature adopted and implemented certain provisions of Senate Bill No.2 (such statute, together with any regulations contemplated or issued thereunder, “SB X1-2”), which authorizes the CEC to establish a “maximum gross gasoline refining margin” with respect to refining activities in California, as well as establish penalties for refiners for exceeding the yet to be issued margin cap. The law further expands on existing reporting requirements for refiners to the CEC. In October 2024, California’s governor signed Assembly Bill No.1 (such statute, together with any regulations contemplated or issued thereunder, “AB X2-1”), into law, authorizing the CEC to require that petroleum refiners maintain a minimum inventory of transportation fuels as well as require petroleum refiners to plan for resupply during scheduled maintenance. We will evaluate the impact that SB X1-2 and AB X2-1 and any associated forthcoming CEC regulations may have on our current or anticipated future operations in California and results of operations when SB X1-2 or AB X2-1 are fully implemented.
In response to the current business environment, we continue to focus on the following priorities for our business:
Commitment to Safety, Reliability and Sustainability
We remain steadfast in our commitment to safely and reliably operate our assets and protect the health and safety of our employees. We are focused on sustainable structural changes to improve our cost competitiveness while maintaining safe and reliable operations. Our approach to sustainability spans the environmental, social and governance dimensions of our business. That means strengthening resiliency by lowering the carbon intensity and conserving natural resources; innovating for the future by investing in renewables and emerging technologies; and embedding sustainability in decision-making and in how we engage our people and many stakeholders. Specifically, in 2022, we were the first among U.S. independent refiners to establish a 2030 target to reduce absolute Scope 3 - Category 11 GHG emissions. This goal added to our existing targets for reducing Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions intensity, for lowering methane emissions intensity and for lowering our freshwater withdrawal intensity.
Operational Excellence
We are committed to achieving operational excellence by reducing costs, improving efficiency, driving operational improvements and being disciplined in capital allocation. This means lowering our costs in all aspects of our business and challenging ourselves to be disciplined in every dollar we spend across our organization. We look to optimize our portfolio of investment opportunities to ensure efficient deployment of capital focusing on projects with the highest returns.
Commercial Performance
We are focused on leveraging the complexity of our facilities by selecting advantaged raw materials, new approaches in the commercial space to be more dynamic amidst changing market conditions and achieving technological improvements to advance our commercial performance. A near-term focus has been securing advantaged renewable feedstocks as we continue to advance our renewable fuels production capabilities.
Integrated Value Chain Optimization
We are committed to leveraging our value chain so that we are a leader in operational, financial, and sustainability performance. Our goal is to improve value chain optimization with a more integrated and advanced approach to decision making so that each individual asset generates free-cash-flow back to the business and contributes to shareholder returns. With our investments, we are focused on high returning projects that we believe will enhance the competitiveness of our portfolio, including our investments in sustainable fuels and technologies that lower our carbon intensity as the global energy mix evolves.
Strategic Updates
Midstream Growth Transactions
On July 31, 2024, MPLX exercised its right of first offer under the BANGL, LLC joint venture agreement to purchase an additional 20 percent ownership interest in BANGL, LLC for $210 million cash, increasing total ownership interest to 45 percent. BANGL is a natural gas liquids pipeline system connecting the Delaware and Midland basins to the fractionation market in the Gulf Coast and export markets.
On May 29, 2024, MPLX and its joint venture partner contributed their respective membership interest in Whistler Pipeline, LLC to a newly formed joint venture, WPC Parent, LLC and issued a 19 percent voting interest in WPC Parent, LLC to an affiliate of Enbridge Inc. in exchange for the contribution of cash and the Rio Bravo Pipeline project (collectively, the “Whistler Joint Venture Transaction”). The combined platform connects Permian supply to incremental LNG export markets and supports the development of additional pipeline projects. As a result of the transaction, MPLX’s voting interest in the joint venture was reduced from 37.5 percent to 30.4 percent. MPLX recognized a gain of $151 million at closing and received a cash distribution of $134 million, recorded as a return of capital, related to the dilution of the ownership interest.
On March 22, 2024, MPLX used $625 million of cash to purchase additional ownership interest in existing joint ventures and gathering assets, which will enhance MPLX’s position in the Utica basin. Prior to the acquisition, MPLX owned an indirect interest in Ohio Gathering Company, L.L.C. (“OGC”) and a direct interest in Ohio Condensate Company, L.L.C. (“OCC”) and now owns a combined 73 percent interest in OGC and a 100 percent interest in OCC, and a dry gas gathering system in the Utica basin.
See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 14 for additional information on these transactions.
Share Repurchase Authorization
On November 5, 2024, we announced that our board of directors approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization that is in addition to the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization announced on April 30, 2024. The share repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. Future repurchases under these authorizations will depend on the macro environment, cash available after opportunities for capital investment and growth of the business and market conditions. As of December 31, 2024, MPC had $7.75 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorizations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
GENERAL
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of crude oil and refined petroleum products, ethanol, renewable feedstock, renewable products, NGLs, and natural gas prices. We employ various strategies, including the use of commodity derivative instruments, to hedge the risks related to these price fluctuations. We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any financial derivative instruments to hedge the risks related to interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; however, we have used them in the past, and we continually monitor the market and our exposure and may enter into these agreements again in the future. We are at risk for changes in fair value of all of our derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price or rate changes related to the underlying commodity or financial transaction.
We believe that our use of derivative instruments, along with our risk assessment procedures and internal controls, does not expose us to material adverse consequences. While the use of derivative instruments could materially affect our results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods, we believe that the use of these instruments will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity.
See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes 17 and 18 for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
Refining & Marketing
Our strategy is to obtain competitive prices for our products and allow operating results to reflect market price movements dictated by supply and demand. We use a variety of commodity derivative instruments, including futures, swaps and options, as part of an overall program to hedge commodity price risk. We also do a limited amount of trading not directly related to our physical transactions.
We use derivative instruments related to the acquisition of crude oil and ethanol blended with refined petroleum products to hedge price risk associated with market volatility between the time we purchase the product and when we use it in the refinery production process or it is blended. In addition, we may use commodity derivative instruments on fixed price contracts for the sale of refined products to hedge risk by converting the refined product sales to market-based prices. The majority of these derivatives are exchange-traded contracts, but we may also enter into over-the-counter swaps, options and over-the-counter options. We closely monitor and hedge our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. Our positions are monitored daily by a risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy.
Midstream
NGL and natural gas prices are volatile and are impacted by changes in fundamental supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty, availability of NGL transportation and fractionation capacity and a variety of additional factors that are beyond MPLX’s control. MPLX may at times use a variety of commodity derivative instruments, including futures and options, as part of an overall program to economically hedge commodity price risk. A portion of MPLX’s profitability is directly affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of purchasing and selling NGLs and natural gas at index-related prices. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of drilling by MPLX producer customers, such prices also indirectly affect profitability. MPLX may enter into derivative contracts, which are primarily swaps traded on the OTC market as well as fixed price forward contracts. MPLX’s risk management policy does not allow it to enter into speculative positions with its derivative contracts. Execution of MPLX’s hedge strategy and the continuous monitoring of commodity markets and its open derivative positions are carried out by its hedge committee, comprised of members of senior management.
To mitigate MPLX’s cash flow exposure to fluctuations in the price of NGLs, it may use NGL derivative swap contracts. A small portion of its NGL price exposure may be managed by using crude oil contracts. To mitigate MPLX’s cash flow exposure to fluctuations in the price of natural gas, it may use natural gas derivative swap contracts, taking into account the partial offset of its long and short natural gas positions resulting from normal operating activities.
MPLX would be exposed to additional commodity risk in certain situations such as if producers under‑deliver or over‑deliver products or if processing facilities are operated in different recovery modes. In the event that MPLX has derivative positions in excess of the product delivered or expected to be delivered, the excess derivative positions may be terminated.
MPLX management conducts a standard credit review on counterparties to derivative contracts, and it has provided the counterparties with a guaranty as credit support for its obligations if requested. MPLX uses standardized agreements that allow for offset of certain positive and negative exposures in the event of default or other terminating events, including bankruptcy.
Renewable Diesel
MPC is exposed to commodity price risk related to the acquisition of renewable feedstocks and the sale of renewable diesel. To manage these risks, we employ hedging strategies in accordance with our objectives and company policies. We are subject to price volatility mainly in agricultural commodities markets in relation to renewable feedstock used in the production of renewable diesel. To mitigate this risk, we use futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges as hedging instruments. We are also exposed to market volatility between the time the renewable product is produced and when it is sold. We employ hedging strategies with exchange traded instruments in commodity markets to minimize the impact of price volatility during this time.
While these hedging activities are intended to reduce price volatility, they do not completely eliminate commodity price risk. We continually monitor commodity price exposures and adjust our hedging as necessary to align with market conditions, regulatory requirements, internal price risk management policies, and overall business objectives.
Open Derivative Positions and Sensitivity Analysis
The following table includes the composition of net losses/gains on our commodity derivative positions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
| (Millions of dollars) | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||
| Realized gain (loss) on settled derivative positions | $ | (94) | $ | 8 | ||||||||||

Sensitivity analysis of the incremental effects on income from operations (“IFO”) of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024 is provided in the following table.
| Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Increase of | Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Decrease of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Blending products | (2) | (5) | 2 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Soybean oil | (8) | (19) | 8 | 19 |
We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.
We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after December 31, 2024 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.
Interest Rate Risk
Our use of fixed or variable-rate debt directly exposes us to interest rate risk. Fixed rate debt, such as our senior notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt also exposes us to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates or that our current fixed rate debt may be higher than the current market. Variable-rate debt, such as borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, exposes us to short-term changes in market rates that impact our interest expense. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 19 for additional information on our debt.
Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt, including the portion classified as current and excluding finance leases, as of December 31, 2024 is provided in the following table. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and, in addition to short-term investments which are recorded at fair value, are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

(b) Assumes a 100-basis point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at December 31, 2024.
(c) Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change in net income was based on the weighted average balance of debt outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2024.
See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 17 for additional information on the fair value of our debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations related to our foreign operations in Canada and Mexico. We did not use derivatives to hedge our market risk exposure to these foreign exchange rate fluctuations in 2024.
Counterparty Risk
MPLX is subject to risk of loss resulting from nonpayment by its customers to whom it provides services, leases assets, or sells natural gas or NGLs. MPLX believes that certain contracts where it sells NGLs and acts as its producer customers’ agent would allow it to pass those losses through to its customers, thus reducing its risk, when it is selling NGLs and acting as its producer customers’ agent. Its credit exposure related to these customers is represented by the value of its trade receivables or lease receivables. Where exposed to credit risk, MPLX analyzes the customer’s financial condition prior to entering into a transaction or agreement, establishes credit terms and monitors the appropriateness of these terms on an ongoing basis. In the event of a customer default, MPLX may sustain a loss and its cash receipts could be negatively impacted.
We are subject to risk of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative contracts. Our credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net positive fair
value at the reporting date. Outstanding instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Should the creditworthiness of one or more of our counterparties decline, our ability to mitigate nonperformance risk is limited to a counterparty agreeing to either a voluntary termination and subsequent cash settlement or a novation of the derivative contract to a third party. In the event of a counterparty default, we may sustain a loss and our cash receipts could be negatively impacted.
