Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business	(1) Organization and Nature of Business Organization CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy,” “CVR,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing industry (the “Petroleum Segment”) and the nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industry through its interest in CVR Partners, LP, a publicly traded limited partnership (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment” or “CVR Partners”). The Petroleum Segment refines and markets high value transportation fuels primarily in the form of gasoline and diesel fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers primarily in the form of urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia. We also produce and market renewable diesel. CVR’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CVI.” Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates (“IEP”) owned approximately 66% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2023. Stock Repurchase Program - On October 23, 2019, CVR Energy’s board of directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), which would enable the Company to repurchase up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not repurchased any of the Company’s common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, which expired, in accordance with its terms, on October 22, 2023. CVR Partners, LP Interest Holders - As of September 30, 2023, public common unitholders held approximately 63% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and CVR Services, LLC (“CVR Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held the remaining approximately 37% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. In addition, CVR Services held 100% of the interest in CVR Partners’ general partner, CVR GP, LLC (“CVR GP”), which held a non-economic general partner interest in CVR Partners as of September 30, 2023. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of CVR is only impacted by the results of, distributions from, and unit repurchases by CVR Partners. Unit Repurchase Program - On May 6, 2020, the board of directors of CVR Partners’ general partner (the “UAN GP Board”), on behalf of CVR Partners, authorized a unit repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”), which was increased on February 22, 2021. The Unit Repurchase Program, as increased, authorized CVR Partners to repurchase up to $20 million of the CVR Partners’ common units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the three months ended September 30, 2022, CVR Partners did not repurchase any common units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CVR Partners repurchased 111,695 common units on the open market in accordance with a repurchase agreement under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a cost of $12 million, exclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $110.98 per common unit. As of September 30, 2023, CVR Partners, considering all repurchases made since inception of the Unit Repurchase Program, had a nominal authorized amount remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate CVR Partners to acquire any common units and may be cancelled, modified, or terminated by the UAN GP Board at any time. As a result of these repurchases, and the resulting change in CVR Energy’s ownership of CVR Partners while maintaining control, CVR Energy recognized a decrease of $2 million to additional paid-in capital from the reduction of noncontrolling interests totaling $3 million and the related reduction of a deferred tax liability totaling $1 million from changes in its book versus tax basis in CVR Partners as of December 31, 2022.

Basis of Presentation	(2) Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Partners, which is defined as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any other interim or annual period.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	(5) Equity Method Investments In January 2023, CVR Partners and its subsidiary, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizer, LLC (“CRNF”), entered into a series of agreements with CapturePoint LLC, an unaffiliated Texas limited liability company, and certain unaffiliated third-party investors intended to qualify under the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) safe harbor described in Revenue Procedure 2020-12 for certain joint ventures that are eligible to claim certain tax credits available to joint ventures under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 45Q Credits”) and allow us to monetize Section 45Q Credits we expect to generate from January 6, 2023 until March 31, 2030 (the “45Q Transaction”). Among other items, the 45Q Transaction resulted in the creation of CVR-CapturePoint Parent LLC, which was accounted for by CVR Partners as an equity-method investment. We have the following investments which have applied the equity method of accounting and are presented within Other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated financial statements: • CVR-CapturePoint Parent, LLC (“CVRP JV”) - Through our subsidiaries, and in connection with the 45Q Transaction, we received a 50% interest in CVRP JV in connection with a modification to a carbon oxide contract (“CO Contract”) with a customer. We applied the VIE model under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, to our variable interest in CVRP JV and determined that CVRP JV is a VIE. While we concluded we are not the primary beneficiary of CVRP JV, we do have significant influence over CVRP JV’s operating and financial policies and, therefore, applied the equity method of accounting for our investment in CVRP JV. We deferred the recognition of the noncash consideration received and expect to recognize such revenue as the performance obligation associated with the CO Contract is satisfied. Refer to Note 9 (“Revenue”) for further discussion. We have elected to record our share of the earnings or loss of CVRP JV one quarter in arrears. Distributions received from CVRP JV will reduce our equity method investment and will be recorded in the period in which they are received. • Enable South Central Pipeline, LLC (“Enable JV”) - Through our subsidiaries, we own a 40% interest in Enable JV, which operates a 12-inch 26-mile crude oil pipeline with a capacity of approximately 20,000 barrels per day that is connected to the Wynnewood Refinery. The remaining interest in Enable JV is owned by a subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP, which also serves as the operator of the pipeline owned by the Enable JV. • Midway Pipeline, LLC (“Midway JV”) - Through our subsidiaries, we own a 50% interest in Midway JV, which operates a 16-inch 99-mile crude oil pipeline with a capacity of approximately 131,000 barrels per day which connects the Coffeyville Refinery to the Cushing, Oklahoma oil hub. The remaining interest in Midway JV is owned by Plains Pipeline, L.P.

Under the Messer Agreement, among other obligations, Messer is obligated to supply oxygen and make certain capital improvements during the term of the Messer Agreement, and CRNF is obligated to take as available and pay for oxygen from Messer’s facility. This arrangement for CRNF’s purchase of oxygen from Messer does not meet the definition of a lease under FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), as CRNF does not expect to receive substantially all of the output, which includes oxygen, nitrogen, and compressed air, of Messer’s on-site production from its air separation unit over the life of the Messer Agreement. The Messer Agreement also obligates Messer to install a new oxygen storage vessel, related equipment and infrastructure (“Oxygen Storage Vessel” or “Vessel”) to be used solely by the Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility. The arrangement for the use of the Oxygen Storage Vessel meets the definition of a lease under Topic 842, as CRNF will receive all output associated with the Vessel. Based on terms outlined in the Messer Agreement, the Company expects the lease of the Oxygen Storage Vessel to be classified as a finance lease with an estimated amount within the range of $20 million to $25 million being capitalized upon lease commencement when the Vessel is placed in service, which is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024.
Leases	(6) Leases Lease Overview We lease certain pipelines, storage tanks, railcars, office space, land, and equipment across our refining, fertilizer, and corporate operations. Most of our leases include one or more renewal options to extend the lease term, which can be exercised at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments, which are adjusted periodically for factors such as inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, we do not have any material lessor or sub-leasing arrangements.

Our derivative instruments contain credit risk-related contingent provisions associated with our credit ratings. If our credit ratings were to be downgraded, it would allow the counterparty to require us to post additional collateral or to request immediate, full settlement of derivative instruments in liability positions. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of our derivative liabilities with credit risk-related contingent provisions was $35 million, for which $2 million of collateral has been posted. Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: September 30, 2023 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and description: Other current liabilities (RFS obligations) $ — $ (413) $ — $ (413) Other current liabilities (derivative financial instruments) — (37) — (37) Other long-term liabilities (derivative financial instruments) — (2) — (2) Long-term debt — (1,442) — (1,442) Total liabilities $ — $ (1,894) $ — $ (1,894) December 31, 2022 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and description: Other current liabilities (commodity derivatives) $ — $ (4) $ — $ (4) Other current liabilities (RFS obligations) — (692) — (692) Long-term debt — (1,394) — (1,394) Total liabilities $ — $ (2,090) $ — $ (2,090) As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the only financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s derivative instruments and the RFS obligations. The estimated fair value of cash equivalents, including amounts invested in short-term money market funds, and restricted cash approximate their carrying amounts. The Petroleum Segment’s commodity derivative contracts are valued using broker quoted market prices of identical or similar instruments and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Similarly, RFS obligations are valued using available broker quoted market RIN prices for each specific or closest vintage year and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. CVR Partners performed a non-recurring fair value measurement of the equity interest received as part of the 45Q Transaction in the first quarter of 2023. Such valuation used a combination of the market approach and the discounted cash flow methodology with key inputs including the discount rate, contractual and expected future cash flows, and market multiples. CVR Partners determined the estimated fair value of the consideration received to be $46 million, which is a non-recurring Level 3 measurement, as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements , based on the use of CVR Partners’ own assumptions described above. The Company had no transfers of assets or liabilities between any of the above levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2023
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(12) Commitments and Contingencies Except as described below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K and in the Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory, and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, the Company believes there would be no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to monitor its contractual arrangements and customer, vendor, and supplier relationships to determine whether and to what extent, if any, the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the current global and domestic economic environment, including increasing interest rates and inflation or a potential recession, or ongoing crude oil, refined product, or utility price volatility will impair or excuse the performance of the Company or its subsidiaries or their customers, vendors, or suppliers under existing agreements. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not experienced a material financial impact from any actual or threatened impairment of or excuse in its or others’ performance under such agreements. Crude Oil Supply Agreement Effective on August 4, 2021, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Refining entered into the Second Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (the “Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement”) with Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”), which superseded, in its entirety, the August 31, 2012 Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement between the parties. Under the Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement, Vitol supplies the Petroleum Segment with crude oil and intermediation logistics helping to reduce the amount of inventory held at certain locations and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. Volumes contracted under the Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement, as a percentage of the total crude oil purchases (in barrels), were approximately 23% and 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately 24% and 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In June 2023, the Company’s subsidiary delivered a notice of termination to Vitol, which terminates the Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement according to previously disclosed terms, effective December 31, 2023. The foregoing description of the Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to its full text which was filed with the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021. 45Q Transaction Under the agreements entered into in connection with the 45Q Transaction, the Company’s indirect subsidiary CRNF is obligated to meet certain minimum quantities of carbon oxide supply each year during the term of the agreement and is subject to fees of up to $15 million per year (reduced pro rata for partial years) to the unaffiliated third-party investors, subject to an overall $45 million cap, if these minimum quantities are not delivered. CVR Partners issued a guarantee to the unaffiliated third-party investors and certain affiliates involved in the 45Q Transaction of the payment and performance obligations of CRNF and CVRP JV, which include the aforementioned fees. This guarantee has no impacts on the accounting records of CVR Partners unless the parties fail to comply with the terms of the 45Q Transaction contracts. Renewable Fuel Standards Certain of the Petroleum Segment’s subsidiaries are subject to the RFS (collectively, the “obligated-party subsidiaries”) implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), which requires refiners to either blend renewable fuels into their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as RINs, in lieu of blending. The Petroleum Segment’s obligated-party subsidiaries are not able to blend the majority of their transportation fuels and must either purchase RINs or obtain waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels, or other exemptions from the EPA, in order to comply with the RFS. Additionally, the Petroleum Segment’s obligated-party subsidiaries purchase RINs generated from our renewable diesel operations, whose operating results are not included in either of our reportable segments, to partially satisfy their RFS obligations. The Company’s obligated-party subsidiaries recognized a benefit of $135 million and an expense of $86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a benefit of $99 million and an expense of $328 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for its compliance with the RFS (based on the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 renewable volume obligation (“RVO”), for the respective periods, excluding the impacts of any exemptions or waivers to which the Company’s obligated-party subsidiaries may be entitled). The recognized amounts are included within Cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and represent costs to comply with the RFS obligation through purchasing of RINs not otherwise reduced by blending of ethanol, biodiesel, or renewable diesel. At each reporting period, to the extent RINs purchased and generated through blending are less than the RFS obligation (excluding the impact of exemptions or waivers to which the Company may be entitled), the remaining position is valued using RIN market prices at period end using for each specific or closest vintage year. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s obligated-party subsidiaries’ RFS positions were approximately $413 million and $692 million, respectively, and are recorded in Other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Litigation Call Option Coverage Case – In September 2023, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) denied the motion filed by the primary and excess insurers (the “Insurers”) of the Company and certain of its affiliates (the “Call Defendants”) seeking to stay the Call Defendants’ action against the Insurers in relation to insurance policies that have coverage limits of $50 million (the “Policies”) alleging breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing relating to the Insurers’ denial of coverage of the Call Defendants’ defense expenses and indemnity, as well as other conduct of the Insurers, relating to the lawsuits filed by former unitholders of CVR Refining against the Call Defendants relating to the Company’s exercise of the call option under the CVR Refining Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership assigned to it by CVR Refining’s general partner, which action was settled by the parties on August 19, 2022 (the “Call Option Lawsuits”). This ruling allows our case against the Insurers to proceed in the Delaware Court. The 434th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas (the “Texas Court”) granted summary judgments in the Insurers’ declaratory judgment action seeking determination that the Insurers owe no indemnity coverage in relation to the Policies for settlement of the Call Option Lawsuits, which the Company intends to appeal once final judgment is entered. As our potential appeal of the Texas Court’s summary judgment rulings and our Delaware Court lawsuit are not yet concluded, the Company cannot determine at this time the outcome of these lawsuits, including whether the outcome would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. RFS Disputes – In October 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”) heard oral arguments in the action by Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (“WRC”) against the EPA relating to its April and June 2022 denial of WRC’s small refinery exemptions (“SREs”) as well as WRC’s claims against the EPA for RIN replacement relief for losses it sustained from the EPA’s late approval of WRC’s 2018 SRE, which SRE the EPA later purported to retroactively revoke and deny. No decision has yet been issued by the Fifth Circuit. Also in October 2023, the Fifth Circuit granted WRC’s motion to stay enforcement of its compliance obligations for the 2022 compliance year pending resolution of its underlying challenges to the EPA’s July 2023 denial of 26 petitions from small refineries seeking SREs for one or more of the compliance years between 2016 and 2023, including the SRE sought by WRC for 2022, which challenges remain pending before the Fifth Circuit as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Fifth Circuit had previously granted WRC’s motion to stay enforcement of its compliance obligations for the 2020 through 2021 compliance years. The Company’s other challenges against the EPA relating to the RFS, including to the EPA’s Final Rule issued in July 2022 establishing RVO and its intervention in an action filed by certain biofuels producers relating to the RFS, remain pending. The Company cannot yet determine at this time the outcomes of these matters. While we intend to prosecute these actions vigorously, if these matters are ultimately concluded in a manner adverse to the Company, they could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Environmental, Health, and Safety (“EHS”) Matters Clean Air Act Matter - Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC (“CRRM”) and certain of its affiliates have agreed to settle claims brought in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas (“D. Kan”) by the United States, on behalf of the EPA, and the State of Kansas, on behalf of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“KDHE”) which primarily relate to the CRRM refinery’s flares. The EPA and KDHE are seeking stipulated penalties under a 2012 Consent Decree (“CD”) (the “Stipulated Claims”), which amount CRRM previously deposited into a commercial escrow account and which escrowed funds are legally restricted for use and are included in Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The EPA and KDHE also filed a complaint in the D. Kan alleging violations of the Clean Air Act, the Kansas State Implementation Plan, Kansas law, and CRRM’s permits relating to flares, heaters, and related matters. The United States, on behalf of the EPA, and KDHE are seeking civil penalties, injunctive relief, and related relief in connection with these claims (collectively, the “Statutory Claims”). The parties have reached agreement to resolve the Stipulated Claims and the Statutory Claims subject to final approvals by the EPA and KDHE. The terms of the settlement will be set forth in a consent decree that is in the process of being executed by the parties, which consent decree is subject to the approval and entry by the D. Kan following a period for public notice and comment. Should the settlement and consent decree be finalized as agreed to between the parties, such settlement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Should such settlement not be finalized as agreed to between the parties, the Company cannot determine whether any subsequent enforcement or litigation relating thereto would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
