Management's Discussion and Analysis

Market Trends 

Our results of operations are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities, including, but not limited to, crude oil, gasoline, distillate fuel, biofuels, natural gas, and electricity, among others. Historically, the impact of commodity price volatility on our refining margins (as defined in our "Non-GAAP Measures" in MD&A Item 2), specifically as it relates to the price of crude oil as compared to the price of refined products and timing differences in the movements of those prices (subject to our inventory costing methodology), as well as location differentials, may be favorable or unfavorable compared to peers. Additionally, our refining margin profitability is impacted by regulatory factors, including the cost of renewable identification numbers ("RINs").

We have positioned the Company to continue to run safely, reliably, and environmentally responsibly while leveraging our Delek Logistics business. Crack spreads have increased three consecutive quarters since Q4 2024 providing the highest crack spreads since the first quarter of 2024. Many uncertainties remain in 2025 with respect to the global supply and demand of the crude oil and refined products markets and it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts this may have on our operations. We expect refining capacity rationalization to lower refined products inventory and crude oil demand to continue to rise. These factors will help absorb the recent additions in global supply and balance the market over the next 6 to 12 months. However, U.S. policy changes and escalating conflicts in the Middle East could potentially result in supply disruptions or further volatility in crude oil prices. 

See below for further discussion on how certain key market trends impact our operating results.

Crude Prices

WTI crude oil represents the largest component of our crude slate at all of our refineries and can be sourced through our gathering channels or optimization efforts from Midland, Texas, Cushing, Oklahoma, or other locations. We manage our supply chain risk to ensure that we have the barrels to meet our crude slate consumption plan for each month through gathering supply contracts and throughput agreements on various strategic pipelines, some of which include those where we hold equity method investments. We manage market price risk on crude oil through financial derivative hedges, in accordance with our risk management strategies.
