EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Business and Economic Environment Update
Our Refining & Marketing segment results for the second quarter of 2026 versus the second quarter of 2025 reflect higher realized refining margins supported by stable demand and higher product prices driven by global crude oil supply disruptions as a result of increasing regional conflicts, particularly in the Middle East. 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 second quarter of 2026 versus the second quarter of 2025 reflect previously announced acquisition and divestiture activity as we continue to optimize our assets and execute on progressing our strategic initiatives. We believe our Midstream business is well positioned to meet growing global demand for U.S. energy through the advancement of MPLX’s wellhead-to-water strategy and support the development plans of its producer customers.
Strategic Updates
Strategic Petroleum Reserve
In the first and second quarters of 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) accepted MPC’s bids to exchange crude oil barrels with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”). Under the arrangements, the SPR agreed to deliver approximately 22 million barrels to MPC throughout 2026 and MPC agreed to return approximately 27 million barrels beginning in April of 2027 through July of 2029.
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 June 30, 2026, we had $6.13 billion remaining under the share repurchase authorizations.
See Note 8 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.

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.

Table of Contents
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 while 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.

Second Quarter 2026 Compared to Second Quarter 2025
Net income attributable to MPC increased $3.92 billion in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to the following:
Revenues and other income increased $18.24 billion primarily due to:
•increased sales and other operating revenues of $18.2 billion mainly due to an increase in Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $1.12 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 7 mbpd; and
•increased income from equity method investments of $44 million largely due to increased income from our Martinez Renewables JV of $21 million and Midstream equity method investments of $14 million.
Costs and expenses increased $13.11 billion primarily due to increased cost of revenues of $13.04 billion mainly due to increased crude costs and finished product purchases.
We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.44 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and cross-border tax impacts, partially offset by state taxes. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $268 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which 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.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Net income attributable to MPC increased $4.51 billion in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to the following:
33
Table of Contents
Revenues and other income increased $20.95 billion primarily due to:
•increased sales and other operating revenues of $20.88 billion mainly due to an increase in Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $0.66 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 55 mbpd; and
•increased other income of $94 million primarily due to approximately $75 million of clean fuel production tax credits, of which $32 million related to 2025 activity.
Costs and expenses increased $15.11 billion primarily due to:
•increased cost of revenues of $14.94 billion mainly due to increased crude costs and finished product purchases; and
•increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $111 million primarily due to increased employee related costs of $56 million and fair-value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation of $45 million.
Net interest and other financial costs increased $87 million largely due to increased interest expense, primarily due to higher MPLX borrowings, partially offset by increased interest income and capitalized interest.
We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.63 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and cross-border tax impacts, partially offset by state taxes. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $305 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which 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.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $74 million mainly due to a decrease in MPLX’s net income in the first six months of 2026. See further discussion in the Midstream Segment Results section.

Second Quarter 2026 Compared to Second Quarter 2025
Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $17.47 billion primarily due to an increase in average refined product sales prices of $1.12 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 7 mbpd.
Net refinery throughput decreased 116 mbpd due to increased planned turnaround activity, primarily in the Mid-Continent region, occurring in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA increased $4.77 billion mainly due to increased per barrel margins. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $24.84 per barrel for the second quarter of 2026, versus $6.79 per barrel for the second quarter of 2025.
Refining & Marketing margin was $36.33 per barrel for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $17.58 per barrel for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher crack spreads. 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 $4 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second 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 positive effect of approximately $800 million on Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second 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 $683 million and $314 million in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the second quarter of 2026 was mainly due to higher RIN costs and blending requirements, partially offset by lower RIN sales and obligated volume in addition to increased RINs generated.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $45 million, or $0.38 per barrel, largely due to increased major maintenance and engineered projects conducted during turnaround activity, partially offset by lower energy costs.
Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $38 million, or $0.36 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX. The change in the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflects rate increases, partially offset by a decrease in third party marine costs.
Refining planned turnaround costs increased $0.13 per barrel, or $25 million, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $20.31 billion primarily due to an increase in average refined product sales prices of $0.66 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 55 mbpd.
Net refinery throughput decreased 57 mbpd due to increased planned turnaround activity, primarily in the Mid-Continent region, occurring in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025.
Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA increased $5.65 billion mainly due to increased per barrel margins. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $15.31 per barrel for the first six months of 2026, versus $4.45 per barrel for the first six months of 2025.
Refining & Marketing margin was $27.24 per barrel for the first six months of 2026 compared to $15.57 per barrel for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher crack spreads. 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 $5.5 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months 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 positive effect of approximately $400 million on Refining & Marketing segment income in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025.
We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our RFS compliance. Our expenses associated with purchased RINs included in Refining & Marketing margin were $1.28 billion and $668 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the first six months of 2026 was mainly due to higher RIN costs and blending requirements, partially offset by lower obligated volume and RIN sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $172 million, or $0.44 per barrel, largely due to increased major maintenance and engineered projects conducted during turnaround activity, partially offset by lower energy costs.
Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $141 million for the first six months of 2026, or $0.38 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX. The increase primarily reflects rate increases and increased third party marine costs.
Refining planned turnaround costs increased $0.21 per barrel, or $101 million, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.

Second Quarter 2026 Compared to Second Quarter 2025
In the second quarter of 2026, Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA increased $137 million mainly due to increased sales and operating revenues of $295 million. These increases were primarily driven by increased rates and throughputs, including growth from equity affiliates and acquisitions, partially offset by the divestiture of non-core gathering and processing assets.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA increased $15 million in the first six months of 2026 primarily due to increased sales and operating revenues of $209 million. These increases were primarily driven by increased rates and throughputs, including growth from equity affiliates and acquisitions, partially offset by the divestiture of non-core gathering and processing assets and a $37 million non-recurring benefit associated with a customer agreement in the first quarter of 2025. Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA was also impacted by increased derivative losses of $53 million.

(b) Includes Dickinson facility production and purchased product from our Martinez Renewables JV.
Second Quarter 2026 Compared to Second Quarter 2025
Renewable Diesel segment revenues increased $620 million, primarily due to higher sales prices and increased renewable diesel sales volume of 91 thousand gallons per day. Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA increased $277 million, primarily due to an increase in Renewable Diesel margin from $321 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $49 million for the second quarter of 2025, driven by improved regulatory credit values.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Renewable Diesel segment revenues increased $573 million, mainly due to higher sales prices partially offset by decreased renewable diesel sales volume of 44 thousand gallons per day largely due to planned turnaround activity at our Martinez Renewables JV in the first quarter of 2026. Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA increased $357 million primarily due to an increase in Renewable Diesel margin from $454 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $75 million in the first six months of 2025, driven by improved regulatory credit values. This was partially offset by decreased utilization due to planned downtime at our Martinez Renewables JV.

Total increase (decrease) in cash $ 4,095 $ (1,537)
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $8.87 billion in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six 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 $4.23 billion, when comparing the change in working capital in both periods.
44
Table of Contents
For the first six months of 2026, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $3.19 billion source of cash mainly due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes, including derivatives. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices and volumes. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices and volumes in addition to an increase in refined product prices. Inventories decreased largely due to decreases in crude oil and material and supplies inventory volumes, partially offset by an increase in refined product inventory volumes.
For the first six months of 2025, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.04 billion use of cash mainly due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes at the end of the period. Accounts payable decreased primarily due to decreases in crude oil prices, partially offset by increases in crude oil volumes. Inventories increased largely due to increases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes. Current receivables decreased primarily due to decreases in crude oil prices, partially offset by increases in crude oil volumes and refined product prices.
Investing Activities

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 $11.7 billion at June 30, 2026 consisting of:
June 30, 2026
(Millions of dollars) Total Capacity Outstanding Borrowings Outstanding Letters of Credit Available 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) 6,737
Total liquidity $ 11,736
(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 June 30, 2026, letters of credit in the total amount of $1.626 billion 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 $1.03 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 June 30, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.
Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow, availability under our credit facilities, 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 June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with such covenants and restrictions.
Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of June 30, 2026, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt are as follows.
Company Rating Agency Rating
MPC Moody’s Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch BBB (stable outlook)
46
Table of Contents
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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2026, MPLX was in compliance with such covenants.
Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile for MPLX. As of June 30, 2026, the credit ratings on MPLX’s senior unsecured debt are as follows.
Company Rating Agency Rating
MPLX Moody’s Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch BBB (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 six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily for Refining & Marketing segment and Midstream segment projects. Major Refining & Marketing segment projects include continued investments at our Galveston Bay, Robinson, El Paso, and Garyville refineries having expected high returns. In addition to these multi-year investments, we are executing shorter-term projects that offer high anticipated 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. As a result, MPLX increased its 2026 growth capital spending outlook by $500 million to $2.9 billion, primarily reflecting the accelerated execution of the expansion of Gulf Coast fractionation and export facilities to meet global demand for U.S. energy.

From January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2026, our board of directors had approved $65.05 billion in total share repurchase authorizations, and we have repurchased a total of $58.92 billion of our common stock.

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.

Cash Commitments
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2026, our purchase commitments primarily consist of obligations to purchase and transport crude oil used in our refining operations. During the first six 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 July 29, 2026, our board of directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable September 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 19, 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 six months ended June 30, 2026.
