07/27/2017

  • Achieved record second-quarter segment income at Speedway
  • Continuing execution of strategic actions, including next dropdown targeted in third quarter of 2017

FINDLAY, Ohio, July 27, 2017 - Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) today reported 2017 second-quarter earnings of $515 million, or $1.00 per diluted share. Second-quarter 2017 earnings include a charge of $0.05 per diluted share related to estimated losses for ongoing litigation matters and a benefit of $0.02 per diluted share related to the company's share of a gain on asset liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper Pipeline project.

This compares with $801 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Second-quarter 2016 earnings included a benefit of $0.47 per diluted share related to the reversal of the company's lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation reserve. The 2016 earnings also included a charge of $0.03 per diluted share related to an impairment of an equity method investment held by MPC's sponsored master limited partnership, MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX).


"We delivered strong operational and financial performance for our shareholders in the second quarter," said Gary R. Heminger, chairman and chief executive officer. "MPC continues to focus on driving results while delivering on the strategic actions designed to further enhance shareholder value."

MPC completed the first of several planned strategic dropdowns in the first quarter and utilized a substantial portion of after-tax cash proceeds from the transaction to repurchase shares. In the third quarter, MPC is targeting the dropdown of its joint-interest ownership in certain pipelines and storage facilities to MPLX. These assets are projected to generate approximately $135 million of annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).(1) Work remains on schedule to prepare the remaining assets, with annual EBITDA of approximately $1 billion, for dropdown to MPLX no later than the end of the first quarter of 2018. MPC also expects to complete the ongoing review of Speedway by the end of the third quarter.

Speedway reported record second-quarter segment income from operations of $239 million, $46 million higher than the previous record set in the second quarter of 2016, and $71 million higher when excluding the LCM benefit. Record results were driven by higher light-product and merchandise gross margins in the quarter.

"Speedway delivered another exceptional quarter," Heminger said. "We expect to continue driving marketing enhancement opportunities as we build new stores, remodel stores and rebuild existing locations across our network."

The Midstream segment, including MPLX, contributed $332 million in income from operations. The increase over the second quarter of last year was primarily due to an increase in processing and fractionation activity in the Marcellus shale. Total processed and fractionated volumes increased 14 percent and 20 percent, respectively, in the second quarter versus prior year, setting new volume records for the partnership.

In early July, the partnership's Utica build-out projects, including the newly constructed Harpster-to-Lima pipeline, became fully operational. In combination with the Cornerstone Pipeline, these projects create additional fee-based revenue for the partnership and new access for Utica and Marcellus shale producers by moving condensate and natural gasoline to refineries throughout the Midwest. MPLX is currently constructing additional connectivity and expanding pipelines to provide more optionality for Midwest refiners.

In addition to expansion in the Marcellus and Utica, where the partnership is the largest processor and fractionator by volume, MPLX continues construction of the Argo gas processing plant in the Delaware basin. In July, the partnership began construction of an additional gas processing plant to support growth in the STACK shale play of Oklahoma. The new facility, named the Omega plant, is expected to enter service in mid-2018.

"We are very pleased with MPLX's financial and operational results, which demonstrate the substantial and growing value the partnership represents to the total enterprise," Heminger said. "MPLX is well-positioned with a robust portfolio of organic projects in some of the most prolific and economic shale plays in the United States. We remain confident in MPLX's compelling value proposition to investors."

The Refining & Marketing segment reported second-quarter segment income from operations of $562 million, driven by higher LLS-based blended crack spreads and record throughput at MPC's Garyville and Galveston Bay refineries, enabled by the significant turnaround work in the first quarter. These benefits were more than offset by higher crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs, primarily due to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials.

"Looking forward, we believe the U.S. and global macroeconomic picture remains favorable and we expect good underlying economic growth will continue to support strong demand for our products," Heminger said. "With top-tier, strategically located assets with export access, MPC is well-positioned to meet the energy needs of the markets and to continue to drive long-term value for shareholders."

During the second quarter, the company returned $936 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As part of the strategic actions, after-tax cash proceeds from the first-quarter dropdown supported substantial share repurchase activity, including $750 million in the second quarter and $1.2 billion year-to-date.

On July 26, the MPC board of directors announced an 11 percent increase in the quarterly dividend, to $0.40 per share. This represents a 26 percent compound annual growth rate in the dividend since becoming an independent company six years ago, demonstrating continued confidence in the cash-flow generation of the business.

(1)      Adjusted EBITDA with respect to anticipated joint-interest acquisitions is calculated as cash distributions adjusted for maintenance capital, growth capital and financing activities.


Segment Results

Total income from operations was $1.03 billion in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $1.32 billion in the second quarter of 2016.

(a)        In the first quarter of 2017, segment reporting was revised in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. The results related to these assets are now presented in the Midstream segment. Previously, these results were reported in the Refining & Marketing segment. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective Jan. 1, 2015, and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates these assets were not considered businesses and therefore there are no financial results from which to recast segment results.

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing (R&M) segment income from operations was $562 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $1.03 billion in the same quarter of 2016. The second quarter of 2016 includes a $360 million non-cash benefit related to the reversal of the company's lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation reserve. Excluding the LCM benefit, the decrease in quarter-over-quarter segment results was primarily due to a $1.41 per barrel decrease in the R&M gross margin. The favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads was more than offset by unfavorable crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs, primarily due to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials and less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices.

The U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased from $7.66 per barrel in the second quarter of 2016 to $9.18 per barrel in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to increases in USGC crack spreads.

Speedway

Speedway segment income from operations was $239 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $193 million in the second quarter of 2016. The second quarter of 2016 includes a $25 million non-cash benefit related to the reversal of the company's lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation reserve. Excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in quarter-over-quarter segment results was primarily due to higher light product margin, reduced operating expenses and higher merchandise gross margin. Segment results also benefited from Speedway's new joint venture with Pilot Flying J, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016. Speedway's light product margin increased to 18.35 cents per gallon in the second quarter of 2017 from 15.49 cents per gallon in the second quarter of 2016.

Midstream

Midstream segment income from operations, which includes MPLX as well as other related operations, was $332 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $253 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings from natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation, primarily driven by higher volumes and changes in natural gas and NGL prices; earnings from the recently acquired Ozark pipeline system; and increased earnings from pipeline equity method investments.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Corporate and other unallocated expenses of $83 million in the second quarter of 2017 were $19 million higher than the second quarter of 2016, largely due to an increase in certain employee benefit expenses along with lower allocation of corporate costs to the segments.

In the second quarter of 2017, the company recognized estimated losses of $40 million related to ongoing litigation matters. Our assessment is subject to change based on the current stage of these matters. Impairments in the second quarter of 2017 included a benefit of $19 million related to MPC's share of a gain on asset liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper Pipeline project.

Strong Financial Position and Liquidity

On June 30, 2017, the company had $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents, excluding MPLX's cash and cash equivalents of $293 million, $2.5 billion available under a revolving credit agreement expiring in July 2020, $1 billion available under a 364-day bank revolving credit facility expiring in July 2017, and full availability under its $750 million trade receivables securitization facility. On July 21, 2017, the company replaced its existing bank revolving credit facilities with a new five-year $2.5 billion bank revolving credit facility expiring in July 2022 and a new 364-day $1 billion bank revolving credit facility expiring in July 2018. The company's liquidity should provide it with sufficient flexibility to meet its day-to-day operational needs and continue its balanced approach to investing in the business and returning capital to shareholders.

(a)        Segment EBITDA represents segment earnings before interest and financing costs, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Segment EBITDA is used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

(b)     In the first quarter of 2017, segment reporting was revised in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. The results related to these assets are now presented in the Midstream segment. Previously, these results were reported in the Refining & Marketing segment. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective January 1, 2015, and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates these assets were not considered businesses and therefore there are no financial results from which to recast segment results.

(c)        Includes non-cash LCM inventory valuation benefit of $385 million for the second quarter 2016 and $370 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The benefit increased Refining & Marketing and Speedway segment income by $360 million and $25 million, respectively, for the second quarter 2016 and $345 million and $25 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

(d)        Includes charges for estimated losses of $40 million related to litigation and MPC's share of a gain related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper pipeline project of $19 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and impairment charges of $90 million and $219 million recorded by MPLX in the second quarter of 2016 and the first six months of 2016, respectively.
