Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) today reported net income attributable to MPC of $371 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with net income attributable to MPC of $1.5 billion, or $3.84 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Adjusted net income was $249 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. This compares to adjusted net income of $1.5 billion, or $3.98 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjustments are shown in the accompanying release tables.

The fourth quarter of 2024 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $2.1 billion, compared with $3.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjustments are shown in the accompanying release tables.

For the full year 2024, net income attributable to MPC was $3.4 billion, or $10.08 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to MPC of $9.7 billion, or $23.63 per diluted share for the full year 2023. Adjusted net income was $3.3 billion, or $9.51 per diluted share for the full year 2024. This compares to adjusted net income of $9.7 billion, or $23.63 per diluted share for the full year 2023. Adjustments are shown in the accompanying release tables.

"In 2024, we generated net cash from operations of $8.7 billion, which enabled peer-leading capital return to shareholders of $10.2 billion," said President and Chief Executive Officer Maryann Mannen. "Our strong cash flow generation was driven by our commitments to peer-leading operational excellence, commercial performance, and profitability per barrel in each of the regions in which we operate. Execution of our Midstream strategy delivered segment adjusted EBITDA growth of 6%. We expect distributions from MPLX in 2025 will cover MPC's dividends and standalone capital outlook, further supporting our commitment to peer-leading capital return."

Results from Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2024, MPC established a Renewable Diesel segment, which includes renewable diesel activities and assets historically reported in the Refining & Marketing segment. This change in reportable segments will enhance comparability of MPC's reporting with direct peers who report both a refining and renewable diesel segment.

The Renewable Diesel segment includes:

    --  The Dickinson, North Dakota renewables facility, a wholly-owned
        renewable processing facility with the capacity to produce 184 million
        gallons per year of renewable diesel.
    --  The Martinez Renewable Fuels joint venture, a 50/50 partnership with
        Neste Corporation with the capacity to produce 730 million gallons per
        year of renewable diesel, and which includes pretreatment capabilities.
    --  Other renewable diesel activities and assets, such as a feedstock
        aggregation facility, pre-treatment facility, and an interest in the
        Spiritwood soybean processing complex through our ADM joint venture.

All prior periods have been recast for comparability.

Refining & Marketing (R&M)

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $559 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $2.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $2.03 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $8.36 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2023. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $281 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $297 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by lower market crack spreads.

R&M margin was $12.93 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $17.81 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2023. Crude capacity utilization was approximately 94%, resulting in total throughput of 3.0 million barrels per day (bpd) for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Refining operating costs were $5.26 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $5.55 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Midstream

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $1.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. The results were primarily driven by higher rates and volumes, including growth from equity affiliates and contributions from recently acquired assets in the Utica and Permian basins.

Renewable Diesel

Segment adjusted EBITDA was $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $(47) million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased utilization particularly at our Martinez Renewable Fuels joint venture.

Corporate and Items Not Allocated

Corporate expenses totaled $189 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with $224 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital

As of Dec. 31, 2024, MPC had $3.2 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, including $1.5 billion of cash at MPLX, and $5 billion available on its bank revolving credit facility.

In the fourth quarter, the company returned approximately $1.6 billion of capital to shareholders through $1.3 billion of share repurchases and $292 million of dividends.

As of Dec. 31, 2024, the company has $7.8 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

Strategic and Operations Update

MPC's standalone (excluding MPLX) capital spending outlook for 2025 is $1.25 billion. Approximately 70% of its overall spending is focused on value enhancing capital and 30% on sustaining capital. MPC's 2025 capital spending outlook includes continued high return investments at its Los Angeles, Galveston Bay and Robinson refineries. In addition to these multi-year investments, the company is executing shorter-term projects that offer high returns through margin enhancement and cost reduction.

MPLX's capital spending outlook for 2025 is $2.0 billion. MPLX is expanding its Permian to Gulf Coast integrated value chain, progressing long-haul pipeline growth projects to support expected increased producer activity, and investing in Permian and Marcellus processing capacity in response to producer demand. Updates on projects include:

Newly Announced

    --  A Gulf Coast fractionation complex consisting of two, 150 thousand bpd
        fractionation facilities adjacent to MPC's Galveston Bay refinery. The
        fractionation facilities are expected in service in 2028 and 2029. MPLX
        is contracting with MPC to purchase offtake from the fractionation
        complex, which MPC intends to market globally.
    --  A strategic partnership with ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE) to develop a 400
        thousand bpd LPG export terminal and an associated pipeline, which is
        anticipated in service in 2028.
    --  The BANGL NGL pipeline partners have sanctioned an expansion from 250
        thousand bpd to 300 thousand bpd, which is anticipated to come online in
        the second half of 2026. This pipeline will enable liquids to reach
        MPLX's Gulf Coast fractionation complex.

Ongoing

    --  The Blackcomb and Rio Bravo pipelines are progressing with an expected
        in-service date in the second half of 2026. These pipelines are designed
        to transport natural gas from the Permian to domestic and export markets
        along the Gulf Coast.
    --  Secretariat, a 200 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) processing plant
        is expected online in the second half of 2025. This plant will bring
        MPLX's gas processing capacity in the Permian basin to 1.4 billion cubic
        feet per day (bcf/d).
    --  Harmon Creek III, a 300 mmcf/d processing plant and 40 thousand bpd
        de-ethanizer, is expected online in the second half of 2026. This
        complex will bring MPLX's processing capacity in the Northeast to 8.1
        bcf/d and fractionation capacity to 800 thousand bpd.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to MPC and Adjusted Diluted Income Per Share

Adjusted net income attributable to MPC is defined as net income attributable to MPC excluding the items in the table below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted diluted income per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to MPC divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.

We believe the use of adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share provides us and our investors with important measures of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC or adjusted diluted income per share should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to net income attributable to MPC, diluted net income per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income attributable to MPC and adjusted diluted income per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

     (a) Income taxes for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were calculated by applying a federal statutory rate and a blended state tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments after non-controlling
          interest. The corresponding adjustments to reported income taxes are shown in the table above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Amounts included in net income (loss) attributable to MPC and excluded from adjusted EBITDA include (i) net interest and other financial costs; (ii) provision/benefit for income taxes; (iii) noncontrolling interests; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) refining planned turnaround costs and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary, as shown in the table below. We believe excluding turnaround costs from this metric is useful for comparability to other companies as certain of our competitors defer these costs and amortize them between turnarounds.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and operating results of our ongoing business operations. Additionally, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing and benchmarking our operating results from period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to income (loss) from operations, net income attributable to MPC, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Refining & Marketing Margin

Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products. We 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 calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Renewable Diesel Margin

Renewable Diesel margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of renewable inputs and purchased products. We use and believe our investors use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our Renewable segment's operating and financial performance. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, Renewable gross margin or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
