Marathon Q2 R&M EBITDA More than Triples Year on Year
HOUSTON, TX (DTN) Marathon Petroleum reported on Tuesday (8/4) that the
refining and marketing (R&M) segment adjusted EBITDA of $6.7 billion in the
second quarter of 2026, up sharply from $1.9 billion in the same period of
2025, driven by significantly higher crack spreads across all regions.
R&M margin was $36.33 bbl for the second quarter of 2026, versus $17.58 bbl
for the same period last year.
R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $24.84 bbl for the second quarter of 2026,
versus $6.79 bbl year-over-year. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes planned
turnaround costs, which totaled $275 million in the quarter and $250 million in
the second quarter of last year.
Refining operating costs were $5.72 bbl for the second quarter of 2026,
versus $5.34 bbl for the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by decreased
utilization due to planned downtime in the Mid-Continent region compared to the
prior-year quarter.
Crude capacity utilization was nearly 94%, resulting in total throughput of
2.9 million bpd in the second quarter of 2026.
Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 billion in the second quarter of
2026, versus $1.6 billion for the same period of 2025. The increase was 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.
