The headline loss, a sharp reversal from $2.58 in earnings per share a year ago, was almost entirely the story of timing and margin compression: MPC executed what management called the second-largest planned maintenance quarter in company history, with $454 million in turnaround costs collapsing Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA to $489 million from $1.99 billion, as crack spreads narrowed to $13.38 per barrel from $19.35. Midstream provided meaningful ballast, with MPLX delivering $1.72 billion in segment adjusted EBITDA, up 8% year-over-year. Looking ahead, MPC guided Q2 throughputs of 2,945 thousand barrels per day with refining operating costs declining to $5.30 per barrel, as management anticipates seasonal demand improvement to lift refining margins heading into summer.

Key Takeaways

  • Lower market crack spreads significantly reduced Refining & Marketing margins
  • Second largest planned maintenance quarter in MPC history impacted refining results
  • Midstream segment delivered 8% increase in segment adjusted EBITDA driven by higher throughputs and equity affiliate growth
  • Renewable Diesel improvement driven by increased utilization at Martinez Renewables and higher margins
  • Crude capacity utilization improved to 89% with net throughputs of 2,849 mbpd
