EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business and Economic Environment Update

Our Refining & Marketing segment results for the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025 reflect higher realized refining margins supported by stable demand and higher global product prices, partially offset by derivative losses related to our economic hedging program. Longer term, global demand growth is expected to outpace the net impact of refining capacity additions and rationalizations through the end of the decade. 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.

Our Midstream segment results for the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025 were impacted by derivative losses resulting from increased market volatility as well as previously announced acquisition and divestiture activity as we continue to optimize our assets and execute on progressing our growth strategies in the Permian and Northeast. We believe our Midstream business is well positioned and has significant opportunities to support the development plans of its producer customers.

Strategic Updates

Strategic Petroleum Reserve

In March 2026, the U.S Department of Energy (“DOE”) accepted MPC’s bid to exchange crude oil barrels with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”). Under the arrangement, the SPR agreed to deliver 7.7 million barrels to MPC in the second quarter of 2026 and MPC agreed to return approximately 9.4 million barrels over an estimated period of time in 2028.

In April 2026, the DOE accepted a second bid from MPC for the exchange of crude oil barrels with the SPR. Under the arrangement, the SPR agreed to deliver 2 million barrels to MPC in the second quarter of 2026 and MPC agreed to return approximately 2.4 million barrels over an estimated period of time in 2028.

See Note 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Additional $5.0 Billion Share Repurchase Authorization

On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date. Future repurchases under the authorization will depend on the macro environment, cash available after opportunities for capital investment and growth of the business and market conditions. As of March 31, 2026, MPC had $3.63 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization, which does not include the additional $5.0 billion authorization described above.

See Note 8 and Note 23 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

Results

Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the performance of our segments using segment adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM is our chief executive officer. The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA by segment results and considers forecast-to-actual variances on a periodic basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel as part of the annual business plan process and ongoing monitoring of performance. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses; and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

Select results are reflected in the following table.

MPLX

We owned approximately 647 million MPLX common units as of March 31, 2026, with a market value of $36.95 billion based on the March 31, 2026 closing price of $57.07 per common unit. On April 28, 2026, MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.0765 per common unit, payable on May 15, 2026 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2026. MPC’s portion of this distribution is approximately $697 million.

We received limited partner distributions from MPLX of $697 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $619 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, MPLX repurchased approximately 1 million MPLX common units at an average cost per unit of $56.63 and paid $50 million of cash for the repurchased common units. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $1.07 billion remained available under authorizations for future unit repurchases.

See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on MPLX.

OVERVIEW OF SEGMENTS

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA depends largely on our refinery throughputs, Refining & Marketing margin, refining operating costs and distribution costs.

Refining & Marketing margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of products purchased for resale. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil,

commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same relationship as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. The following are used for these crack spread calculations:

  • The Gulf Coast crack spread uses three barrels of MEH crude producing two barrels of USGC CBOB gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD;

  • The Mid-Continent crack spread uses three barrels of WTI crude producing two barrels of Chicago CBOB gasoline and one barrel of Chicago ULSD; and

  • The West Coast crack spread uses three barrels of ANS crude producing two barrels of LA CARBOB and one barrel of LA CARB Diesel.

Our refineries can process a variety of sweet and sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to crude oil referenced in our Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads. The amount of these discounts, which we refer to as the sweet differential and the sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing margin to differ from blended crack spreads. In general, larger sweet and sour differentials will enhance our Refining & Marketing margin.

Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors, as well as U.S. energy policy.

The following table provides sensitivities showing an estimated change in annual Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA due to potential changes in market conditions.

(Millions of dollars)
Blended crack spread sensitivity(a) (per $1.00/barrel change)$1,125
Sour differential sensitivity(b) (per $1.00/barrel change)520
Sweet differential sensitivity(c) (per $1.00/barrel change)520
Natural gas price sensitivity(d) (per $1.00/MMBtu)360

(a)Crack spread based on 42 percent MEH, 40 percent WTI and 18 percent ANS with Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast product pricing, respectively, and assumes all other differentials and pricing relationships remain unchanged.

(b)Sour crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: ANS, Argus Sour Crude Index, Maya and Western Canadian Select. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2026 will be sour crude.

(c)Sweet crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: Bakken, Brent, MEH, WTI-Cushing and WTI-Midland. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2026 will be sweet crude.

(d)This is consumption-based exposure for our Refining & Marketing segment and does not include the sales exposure for our Midstream segment.

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sour differential and the sweet differential, our Refining & Marketing margin is impacted by factors such as:

  • the selling prices realized for refined products;

  • the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;

  • our refinery yields;

  • the cost of products purchased for resale;

  • the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk;

  • the potential impact of lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories in periods of declining prices;

  • the potential impact of LIFO adjustments; and

  • the cost of purchasing RINs in the open market to comply with RFS requirements.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA is also affected by changes in refining operating costs in addition to committed distribution costs. Changes in operating costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Distribution costs primarily include long-term agreements with MPLX, which as discussed below include minimum commitments to MPLX, and will negatively impact segment adjusted EBITDA in periods when throughput or sales are lower or refineries are idled.

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services for our Refining & Marketing segment. Certain of these agreements include commitments for minimum quarterly throughput and distribution volumes of crude oil and refined products and minimum storage volumes of crude oil, refined products and other products. Certain other agreements include commitments to pay for 100 percent of available capacity for certain marine transportation and refining logistics assets.

Midstream

Our Midstream segment gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products, principally for our Refining & Marketing segment. Additionally, the segment markets refined products. The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. The profitability of our marine operations primarily depends on the quantity and availability of our vessels and barges. The profitability of our light product terminal operations primarily depends on the throughput volumes at these terminals. The profitability of our fuels distribution services primarily depends on the sales volumes of certain refined products. The profitability of our refining logistics operations depends on the quantity and availability of our refining logistics assets. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our pipelines and marine vessels and the refined product throughput at our terminals serve our Refining & Marketing segment and our refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services are used solely by our Refining & Marketing segment. As discussed above in the Refining & Marketing section, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements related to services provided to our Refining & Marketing segment. Under these agreements, MPLX has received various commitments of minimum throughput, storage and distribution volumes as well as commitments to pay for all available capacity of certain assets. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines, terminals and marine operations. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport, store, distribute and market is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines and marine operations. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Our Midstream segment also gathers, treats, processes and transports natural gas and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. 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 our control. Our Midstream segment profitability is affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of processing or conditioning at our own or third‑party processing plants, purchasing and selling or gathering and transporting volumes of natural gas at index‑related prices and the cost of third‑party transportation and fractionation services. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of natural gas drilling by our producer customers, such prices also affect profitability.

Renewable Diesel

Our Renewable Diesel segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, markets and distributes renewable diesel and includes joint ventures that produce renewable diesel and renewable feedstocks.

Our Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA is affected by changes in operating costs, distribution costs, throughput and certain regulatory credits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion includes comments and analysis relating to our results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 1. Financial Statements and is intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.

First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025

Net income attributable to MPC increased $585 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the following:

Revenues and other income increased $2.72 billion primarily due to:

  • increased sales and other operating revenues of $2.68 billion mainly due to an increase in Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $0.15 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 105 mbpd;

  • decreased income from equity method investments of $54 million largely due to decreased income from our Martinez Renewables JV of $46 million as a result of planned turnaround activity; and

  • increased other income of $89 million primarily due to approximately $58 million of clean fuel production tax credits, of which $32 million related to 2025 activity, and increased RIN sales of $28 million.

Costs and expenses increased $2.0 billion primarily due to:

  • increased cost of revenues of $1.90 billion mainly due to increased finished product purchases and unrealized derivative losses related to our economic hedging program; and

  • increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $84 million primarily due to quarterly fair-value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation of $42 million and increased employee related costs of $34 million.

Net interest and other financial costs increased $66 million largely due to increased interest expense, primarily due to higher MPLX borrowings, and decreased interest income.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $183 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was

lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by state taxes while the rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and discrete state tax benefits.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $80 million mainly due to a decrease in MPLX’s net income in the first quarter of 2026. See further discussion in the Segment Results-Midstream section.

Segment Results

We classify our business in the following reportable segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. Segment adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses; and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

Our segment adjusted EBITDA for reportable segments was $3.01 billion and $2.17 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025

Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $2.84 billion primarily due to an increase in average refined product sales prices of $0.15 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 105 mbpd.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA increased $888 million mainly due to increased per barrel margins, partially offset by increased refining operating and distribution costs, both excluding depreciation and amortization. Refining & Marketing 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.

Refining & Marketing margin was $17.74 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $13.38 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025. Results benefited from higher crack spreads, partially offset by unrealized derivative losses related to our economic hedging program. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by our performance against the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $1.3 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, the effect of market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, the effect of RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances and fuel margin from sales to direct dealers. These factors had an estimated net negative effect of approximately $200 million on Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our RFS compliance. Our expenses associated with purchased RINs and included in Refining & Marketing margin were $593 million and $354 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to increased RIN obligations, lower RINs generated and acquired from our Martinez Renewables JV due to turnaround activity and higher RIN costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $127 million, or $0.49 per barrel, largely due to increased project related expense associated with increased turnaround activity during the quarter.

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $103 million, or $0.39 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX. The change in the first quarter of 2026 primarily reflects rate increases and increased third party marine costs.

Refining planned turnaround costs increased $0.30 per barrel, or $76 million, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.

First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025

In the first quarter of 2026, Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $122 million mainly due to decreased sales and operating revenues of $86 million. These decreases were primarily driven by derivative losses of $77 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a $37 million non-recurring benefit associated with a customer agreement in the first quarter of 2025, with acquisition and divestiture activity also having an impact.

(b) Includes Dickinson facility production and purchased product from our Martinez Renewables JV.

First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025

Renewable Diesel segment revenues decreased $47 million, primarily due to decreased sales volume of 180 thousand gallons per day, due to decreased utilization from planned turnaround activity at our Martinez Renewables JV in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by higher sales prices. Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA increased $80 million, primarily due to an increase in Renewable Diesel margin, which was $133 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $26 million for the first quarter of 2025, in addition to recognition of clean fuel production tax credits due to clarity on 45Z regulation. This was partially offset by decreased utilization due to planned downtime at our Martinez Renewables JV.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses 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:

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 calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $2.15 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $3.67 billion at December 31, 2025. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are presented in the following table.

Three Months Ended March 31,
(Millions of dollars)20262025
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities$1,121$(64)
Investing activities(1,047)(923)
Financing activities(1,596)1,589
Total increase (decrease) in cash$(1,522)$602

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.19 billion in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025. The change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in operating results and a favorable change in working capital of $501 million, when comparing the change in working capital in both periods.

For the first three months of 2026, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $573 million use of cash mainly due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes, including derivatives, at the end of the period. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices and volumes in addition to an increase in refined product prices, partially offset by refined product volumes. Inventories increased largely due to increases in refined product and crude oil inventory volumes, partially offset by a decrease in materials and supplies inventory volumes.

For the first three months of 2025, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.07 billion use of cash primarily due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes at the end of the period. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in crude oil volumes. Inventories increased primarily due to increases in refined product and crude oil inventory volumes. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude oil volumes partially offset by decreases in crude oil prices.

Investing Activities

Investing activities were a net $1.05 billion use of cash in the first three months of 2026 compared to a net $923 million use of cash in the first three months of 2025.

  • Additions to property, plant and equipment increased $250 million. See the Capital Requirements section for additional information on our capital expenditures and investments.

  • Cash used for acquisitions of $237 million in the first three months of 2025 was due to an acquisition in our Midstream segment.

  • Cash used in net investments was $302 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to $111 million for the first three months of 2025. In the first three months of 2026, investments primarily included contributions to MPLX and Renewable Diesel equity method investments. The first three months of 2025 primarily included contributions to MPLX equity method investments.

The consolidated statements of cash flows exclude changes to the consolidated balance sheets that did not affect cash. A reconciliation of additions to property, plant and equipment per the consolidated statements of cash flows to reported total capital expenditures and investments follows.

Financing Activities

Financing activities were a net $1.60 billion use of cash in the first three months of 2026 compared to a net $1.59 billion source of cash in the first three months of 2025.

  • Long-term debt borrowings and repayments were a net $64 million use of cash in the first three months of 2026 compared to a net $3.41 billion source of cash in the first three months of 2025. During the first three months of 2026, MPLX issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and repaid $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that were due in March 2026. During the first three months of 2025, MPC issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and MPLX issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and repaid $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes.

  • During the first three months of 2026, we borrowed and repaid $3.86 billion under our commercial paper program. We had no activity under our commercial paper program during the first three months of 2025.

  • Cash used in common stock repurchases, including fees and expenses, totaled $750 million in the first three months of 2026 compared to $1.06 billion in the first three months of 2025. See the Capital Requirements section for further discussion of our stock repurchases.

  • Cash used in dividend payments increased $10 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025 due to a 10 percent increase in per share dividends, partially offset by a reduction of shares outstanding resulting from share repurchases.

  • Cash used in distributions to noncontrolling interests increased $37 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due to an increase in MPLX’s distribution per common unit.

  • Cash used in repurchases of noncontrolling interests was $50 million in the first three months of 2026 and $100 million in the first three months of 2025 related to the repurchase of MPLX common units.

Derivative Instruments

See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for a discussion of derivative instruments and associated market risk.

Capital Resources

MPC, Excluding MPLX

We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner; however, the creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP and LOCAP, in which MPLX holds an interest. Therefore, in the following table, we present the liquidity of MPC, excluding MPLX. MPLX liquidity is discussed in the following section.

Our liquidity, excluding MPLX, totaled $5.64 billion at March 31, 2026 consisting of:

March 31, 2026
(Millions of dollars)Total CapacityOutstanding BorrowingsOutstanding Letters of CreditAvailable Capacity
Bank revolving credit facility$5,000$—$1$4,999
Trade receivables facility(a)100—100—
Total$5,100$—$101$4,999
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments(b)645
Total liquidity$5,644

(a)The committed borrowing and letter of credit issuance capacity under the trade receivables securitization facility is $100 million. In addition, the facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit in excess of the committed capacity at the discretion of the issuing banks. As of March 31, 2026, letters of credit in the total amount of $726 million were issued and outstanding under the facility to secure contracts awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy to purchase crude oil from the SPR.

(b) Excludes $1.51 billion of MPLX cash and cash equivalents.

We have a commercial paper program that allows us to have a maximum of $2.0 billion in commercial paper outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow, access to capital markets and a commercial paper program, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term (less than twelve months) and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

On April 7, 2026, MPC entered into a new revolving credit facility to replace its previously existing revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire July 2027. The new facility is for a five-year term which will expire April 2031. MPC’s total capacity under the revolving credit facility agreement remains at $5.0 billion, and includes sub-facilities for swing-line loans of up to $300 million and letters of credit of up to $2.0 billion.

MPC’s bank revolving credit facility and trade receivables facility contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants, and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of a similar type and nature. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with such covenants and restrictions.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of March 31, 2026, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt are as follows.

CompanyRating AgencyRating
MPCMoody’sBaa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’sBBB (stable outlook)
FitchBBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing MPC’s debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements and may limit our flexibility to obtain financing in the future, including to refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment-grade levels could, under certain circumstances, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit or other security under existing transportation services or other agreements.

See Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

MPLX

MPLX’s liquidity totaled $5.0 billion at March 31, 2026 consisting of:

On February 12, 2026, MPLX issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.300 percent senior notes due 2036 (the “2036 Senior Notes”) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.100 percent senior notes due 2056 (the “2056 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering, The 2036 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.678 percent of par, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on October 1, 2026. The 2056 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 98.453 percent of par, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on October 1, 2026.

In March 2026, MPLX repaid all of MPLX’s outstanding $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.750 percent senior notes due March 2026 at maturity.

On April 7, 2026, MPLX entered into a new revolving credit facility to replace its previously existing revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire July 2027. The new facility is for a five-year team which will expire April 2031. MPLX’s total capacity under the new revolving credit facility was increased from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion, and includes sub-facilities for swing-line loans of up to $150 million and letters of credit of up to $150 million.

MPLX’s bank revolving credit facility contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants, and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. As of March 31, 2026, MPLX was in compliance with such covenants.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile for MPLX. As of March 31, 2026, the credit ratings on MPLX’s senior unsecured debt are as follows.

CompanyRating AgencyRating
MPLXMoody’sBaa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’sBBB (stable outlook)
FitchBBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold MPLX securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating for MPLX, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing MPLX’s debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that MPLX credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of MPLX

senior unsecured debt to below investment-grade ratings could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements. In addition, a downgrade of MPLX senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment-grade levels may limit MPLX’s ability to obtain future financing, including to refinance existing indebtedness.

See Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of MPLX’s debt.

Capital Requirements

Capital Expenditures and Investments

Capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily for Refining & Marketing segment and Midstream segment projects. Major Refining & Marketing segment projects include continued high-return investments at its Galveston Bay, Robinson, El Paso, and Garyville refineries. In addition to these multi-year investments, we are executing shorter-term projects that offer high returns through margin enhancement and cost reduction. Our capital investment outlook for Marketing includes continuing to expand the reach and presence of our branded stations in support of strong value capture.

Our Midstream segment capital expenditures and investments in affiliates were primarily focused on expanding our Permian to Gulf Coast integrated value chain, progressing long-haul pipeline growth projects to support producer activity, and investing in new gas processing plants in the Marcellus and Permian. The remainder of our Midstream capital plan targets the debottlenecking of existing assets to meet customer demand. We continuously evaluate our capital plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Number of shares repurchased47
Cash paid for shares repurchased$750$1,057
Average cost per share(a)$213.45$147.87

(a) The average cost per share includes excise tax on share repurchases resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, but the excise tax does not reduce the remaining share repurchase authorization.

From January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2026, our board of directors had approved $60.05 billion in total share repurchase authorizations, and we have repurchased a total of $56.42 billion of our common stock. As of March 31, 2026, $3.63 billion remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase authorization. On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

We 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 and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

Cash Commitments

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2026, our purchase commitments primarily consist of obligations to purchase and transport crude oil used in our refining operations. During the first three months of 2026, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2025.

Our other contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and pension and post-retirement obligations, for which additional information is included in Notes 16 and 21, respectively, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and financing and operating leases.

Other Cash Commitments

On April 29, 2026, our board of directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable June 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 20, 2026.

We may, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes in the open market, in tender offers, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, actual expenditures may vary as the number and scope of environmental projects are revised as a result of improved technology or changes in regulatory requirements.

There have been no material changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

As of March 31, 2026, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

As discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, certain new financial accounting pronouncements will be effective for our financial statements in the future.
