The earnings shortfall was largely attributable to elevated maintenance and turnaround expenses, which weighed on refining profitability even as the segment showed underlying strength, with Refining & Marketing adjusted EBITDA climbing to $1.76 billion as crack spreads widened and crude utilization hit a robust 95%. Midstream added another $1.71 billion in adjusted EBITDA, up 5% year-over-year, reinforcing the diversified earnings base that makes Marathon a compelling refining comparison heading into 2026. The company returned $926 million to shareholders in the quarter, including $650 million in buybacks, and raised its quarterly dividend 10%. Looking ahead, MPC guided Q4 total throughputs of 2,905 thousand barrels per day with planned turnaround costs of $420 million.

Key Takeaways

  • Higher crack spreads drove Refining & Marketing margin to $17.60 per barrel vs $14.63 in Q3 2024
  • 95% crude capacity utilization with 3.0 million bpd total throughput
  • Midstream growth of 5% YoY driven by higher rates, throughputs, and contributions from recent acquisitions
  • $738 million gain on sale of assets including ethanol JV divestiture for $427 million gross proceeds
  • MPLX annualized distributions to MPC of $2.8 billion

“In the third quarter, Refining & Marketing delivered strong cash generation. In Midstream, we took actions to grow and optimize the portfolio, strengthening the durability of mid-single digit segment adjusted EBITDA growth. MPLX will provide $2.8 billion of annualized distributions to MPC that we expect to cover our dividends and standalone capital spending, and to be a source of capital allocation, a differentiator in the energy industry. Our integrated value chains and geographically diversified assets position us to lead in capital allocation.”
