NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

We are a leading, integrated, downstream energy company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. We operate the nation's largest refining system. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market and to independent entrepreneurs who operate branded outlets. We also sell transportation fuel to consumers through direct dealer locations under long-term supply contracts. MPC’s midstream operations are primarily conducted through MPLX LP (“MPLX”), which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX.

On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”). Speedway’s results are reported separately as discontinued operations, net of tax, in our consolidated statements of income for all periods presented and its assets and liabilities are presented in our consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2020. In addition, we separately disclosed the operating and investing cash flows of Speedway as discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of cash flow. See Note 4 for discontinued operations disclosures.

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In accordance with ASC 205, Discontinued Operations, intersegment sales from our Refining & Marketing segment to Speedway are no longer eliminated as intercompany transactions and are now presented within sales and other operating revenue, since we continue to supply fuel to Speedway subsequent to the sale to 7-Eleven. All periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted through the sale date of May 14, 2021 to reflect this change. Additionally, beginning August 2, 2020, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, we ceased recording depreciation and amortization for Speedway’s property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and right of use lease assets.

During the second quarter of 2021, we invested a significant portion of the Speedway sale proceeds in investment grade debt, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. As a result, we have updated our accounting policies for short-term investments and fair value as disclosed below:

Short-Term Investments

Investments with a maturity date greater than three months that we intend to convert to cash or cash equivalents within a year or less are classified as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt Securities, we have classified all short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 as available-for-sale securities and changes in fair market value are reported in other comprehensive income.

Fair Value

We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

•Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Our Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities include exchange-traded contracts for crude oil and refined products measured at fair value with a market approach using the close-of-day settlement prices for the market. Commodity derivatives are covered under master netting agreements with an unconditional right to offset. Collateral deposits in futures

Table of Contents

commission merchant accounts covered by master netting agreements related to Level 1 commodity derivatives are classified as Level 1.

•Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, and forward and spot prices for currencies. Our Level 2 investments include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits and corporate notes and bonds. Our Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily include certain OTC contracts.

•Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include goodwill, long-lived assets and intangible assets, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge and an embedded derivative liability relates to a natural gas purchase agreement embedded in a keep‑whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments at June 30, 2021 used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.64 to $1.59 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.81 per gallon and (2) the probability of renewal of 100 percent for the first and second five-year term of the natural gas purchase agreement and the related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven for cash proceeds of approximately $21.38 billion. After-tax proceeds were approximately $17.22 billion. This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $11.68 billion ($8.02 billion after income taxes) after deducting the book value of the net assets and certain other adjustments.

The Speedway sale gain is accounted for as a discrete item within the discontinued operations income tax provision and includes a current tax provision of $4.16 billion and a deferred income tax benefit of $497 million due to the reversal of MPC’s deferred tax liabilities related to Speedway.

The proceeds and related Speedway sale gain may be adjusted in future periods based on provisions of the purchase and sale agreement that allow for adjustments of working capital amounts and other miscellaneous items subsequent to transaction closing date of May 14, 2021.

Results of operations for Speedway are reflected through the close of the sale. The following table presents Speedway results and the gain on sale as reported in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, within our consolidated statements of income.

Separation Agreements

We have entered into various 15-year fuel supply agreements through which we continue to supply fuel to Speedway.

5. MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX, which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner interest and, as of June 30, 2021, we owned approximately 63 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.

Unit Repurchase Program

On November 2, 2020, MPLX announced its board authorized a unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1 billion of MPLX’s outstanding common units held by the public.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 11,929,998 MPLX common units were repurchased at an average cost per unit of $26.02. Total cash paid for units repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $310 million. As of June 30, 2021, MPLX had agreements to acquire 126,293 additional common units for $4 million, which settled in early July 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $657 million remained available under the authorization for future unit repurchases.

MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, tender offers, accelerated unit repurchases or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be initiated, suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

Agreements

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to us. With certain exceptions, these agreements generally contain minimum volume commitments. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between our Refining & Marketing and Midstream segments. We also have agreements with MPLX that establish fees for operational and management services provided between us and MPLX and for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided by us to MPLX. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between our Corporate and Midstream segments.

Noncontrolling Interest

As a result of equity transactions of MPLX, we are required to adjust non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital. Changes in MPC’s additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in its ownership interests in MPLX were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,

Tax impact	38		(1)
Increase (decrease) in MPC's additional paid-in capital, net of tax	$	(38)	$	3

6. IMPAIRMENTS

In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized impairment expense within our Midstream segment related to the anticipated divestiture and closure of certain assets as detailed in the table below.

During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which we operate. The related changes to our expected future cash flows, as well as a sustained decrease in share price, were considered triggering events requiring the performance of various tests of the carrying values of our assets. Triggering events requiring the performance of various tests of the carrying value of our Midstream assets were also identified by MPLX as a result of the overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which MPLX and its customers operate, which led to a reduction in forecasted volumes processed by the systems operated by MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C., MPLX’s equity method investee, as well as a sustained decrease in the MPLX unit price.

The table below provides information related to the impairments recognized, along with the location of these impairments within consolidated statement of income.

Table of Contents

Goodwill

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of goodwill of $7.33 billion. The $5.516 billion goodwill impairment within the Refining & Marketing segment was primarily driven by the effects of COVID-19 and the decline in commodity prices. The $1.814 billion impairment within the Midstream segment was primarily driven by additional information related to the slowing of drilling activity, which had reduced production growth forecasts from MPLX’s producer customers. The fair values of the reporting units for the first quarter of 2020 goodwill impairment analysis were determined based on applying both a discounted cash flow method, or income approach, as well as a market approach.

Equity Method Investments

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded equity method investment impairment charges totaling $1.315 billion, of which $1.25 billion related to MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. and its investment in Ohio Gathering Company, L.L.C. The impairments were largely due to a reduction in forecasted volumes gathered and processed by the systems operated by the equity method investments. The fair value of the investments was determined based upon applying the discounted cash flow method, an income approach.

Long-lived Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, we identified long-lived asset impairment triggers relating to all of our refinery asset groups within the Refining & Marketing segment as a result of decreases to the Refining & Marketing segment expected future cash flows. The cash flows associated with these assets were significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and commodity price declines. We performed recoverability tests for each refinery asset group by comparing the undiscounted estimated pretax cash flows to the carrying value of each asset group. Only the Gallup refinery’s carrying value exceeded its undiscounted estimated pretax cash flows. It was determined that the fair value of the Gallup refinery’s property, plant and equipment was less than the carrying value. As a result, we recorded a charge of $142 million in the first quarter of 2020 to impairment expense on the consolidated statements of income.

During the first quarter of 2020, we identified an impairment trigger relating to asset groups within MPLX’s Western Gathering and Processing (“G&P”) reporting unit as a result of significant changes to expected future cash flows for these asset groups resulting from the effects of COVID-19. The cash flows associated with these assets were significantly impacted by volume declines reflecting decreased forecasted producer customer production as a result of lower commodity prices. We assessed each asset group within the Western G&P reporting unit for impairment. It was determined that the fair value of the East Texas G&P asset group’s underlying assets were less than the carrying value. As a result, MPLX recorded impairment charges totaling $350 million related to its property, plant and equipment and intangibles, which are included in impairment expense on our consolidated statements of income.

Fair values of property, plant and equipment were determined using a combination of income and cost approaches. The income approach utilized significant assumptions including management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows and the estimated useful life of the asset groups. The cost approach utilized assumptions for the current replacement costs of similar assets adjusted for estimated depreciation and deterioration of the existing equipment and economic obsolescence. The fair value of the intangibles was determined based on applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach.

7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIE

We control MPLX through our ownership of its general partner. MPLX is a VIE because the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights over the general partner. We are the primary beneficiary of MPLX because in addition to our significant economic interest, we also have the ability, through our ownership of the general partner, to control the decisions that most significantly impact MPLX. We therefore consolidate MPLX and record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public. We also record a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to MPLX’s Series A preferred units.

The creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP LLC (“LOOP”) and LOCAP LLC (“LOCAP”), in which MPLX holds an interest. See Note 24 for more information. The assets of MPLX can only be used to settle their own obligations and their creditors have no recourse to our assets, except as noted earlier.

Sales to related parties, which are included in sales and other operating revenues, consist primarily of refined product sales to certain of our equity affiliates.

Purchases from related parties are included in cost of revenues. We obtain utilities, transportation services and purchase ethanol from certain of our equity affiliates.

9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to MPC less income allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Since MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities, we have calculated our earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method. Diluted income (loss) per share assumes exercise of certain stock-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive.

10. EQUITY

In connection with the Speedway sale, our board of directors approved an additional $7.1 billion share repurchase authorization bringing total share repurchase authorizations to $10.0 billion prior to the June tender of shares discussed below. The authorization has no expiration date.

We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, tender offers, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

On June 15, 2021, MPC completed a modified Dutch auction tender offer, purchasing 15,573,365 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $63.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $981 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer. As of June 30, 2021, MPC has $9.02 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorizations.

Table of Contents

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have 2 reportable segments: Refining & Marketing and Midstream. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States, purchases refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services provided largely by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market and to independent entrepreneurs who operate primarily Marathon® branded outlets, through long-term fuel supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.

•Midstream – transports, stores, distributes and markets crude oil and refined products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment via refining logistics assets, pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges; gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and gathers, transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. The Midstream segment primarily reflects the results of MPLX.

Segment income represents income (loss) from operations attributable to the reportable segments. Corporate consists primarily of MPC’s corporate administrative expenses and costs related to certain non-operating assets, except for corporate overhead expenses attributable to MPLX, which are included in the Midstream segment. In addition, certain items that affect comparability (as determined by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)) are not allocated to the reportable segments. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the company by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

13. INCOME TAXES

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $5 million and $39 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax differences related to income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $150 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which was higher than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to impacts attributable to noncontrolling interests, state taxes and the tax rate differential resulting from the expected net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax benefit of $1,801 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a significant amount of our pre-tax loss consisting of non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charges, partially offset by the tax rate differential resulting from the expected NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act. Additionally, our non-controlling interest in MPLX generally provides an effective tax rate benefit since the tax associated with those ownership interests is paid by those interests, but this benefit was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to impairment charges recorded by MPLX.

A reconciliation of the continuing operations tax provision (benefit) in dollars as determined using the federal statutory income tax rate applied to income (loss) before income taxes to the provision (benefit) for income taxes is shown in the table below.

(a)2020 reflects the impact of the CARES Act.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contained a NOL carryback provision, which allowed MPC to carryback our 2020 taxable loss to 2015 and later years. The five-year NOL carryback is available for all businesses producing taxable losses in 2018 through 2020 when tax was previously paid in the carryback years. As provided by the NOL carryback statute in the CARES Act, as of June 30, 2021, we have recorded an income tax receivable of $2.1 billion in other current assets. This reflects our estimate of the refund of previously paid tax and we expect to receive nearly all of the refund during the second half of 2021. We are working with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to facilitate the refund, but we do not control the timing of this payment.

16. RESTRUCTURING

During the third quarter of 2020, we indefinitely idled our refinery located in Gallup, New Mexico and initiated actions to strategically reposition our Martinez, California refinery to a renewable diesel facility. We also approved an involuntary workforce reduction plan. In connection with these strategic actions, we recorded restructuring expenses of $367 million in 2020.

The indefinite idling of the Gallup refinery and actions to strategically reposition the Martinez refinery to a renewable diesel facility resulted in $195 million of restructuring expenses. Of the $195 million of restructuring expenses, we expect $130 million to settle in cash for costs related to decommissioning refinery processing units and storage tanks and fulfilling environmental remediation obligations. Additionally, we recorded a non-cash reserve against our materials and supplies inventory at these facilities of $51 million.

The involuntary workforce reduction plan, together with employee reductions resulting from our actions affecting the Gallup and Martinez refineries, affected approximately 2,050 employees. We recorded $172 million of restructuring expenses for separation benefits payable under our employee separation plan and certain collective bargaining agreements that we have settled in cash. Certain of the affected MPC employees provided services to MPLX. MPLX has various employee services agreements and secondment agreements with MPC pursuant to which MPLX reimburses MPC for employee costs, along with the provision of operational and management services in support of MPLX’s operations. Pursuant to such agreements, MPC was reimbursed by MPLX for $37 million of the $172 million of restructuring expenses recorded for these actions.

Restructuring expenses were accrued as restructuring reserves within accounts payable, payroll and benefits payable, other current liabilities and deferred credits and other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheets. We expect cash payments for the remaining exit and disposal costs reserve to occur through 2024.

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Values—Recurring

The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by fair value hierarchy level. We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the following tables.

As of June 30, 2021, cash collateral of $46 million was netted with the mark-to-market derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, cash collateral of $11 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.

(b)We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements reflected gross on the balance sheet.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances recorded for net liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Values – Reported

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments and the expected insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. The fair value of our fixed and floating rate long-term debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying and fair values of our debt were approximately $27.9 billion and $31.5 billion at June 30, 2021, respectively, and approximately $31.1 billion and $34.9 billion at December 31, 2020, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt exclude the unamortized issuance costs which are netted against our total debt.

18. DERIVATIVES

For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 17. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil, (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products, (5) the sale of NGLs, (6) the purchase of natural gas and (7) the purchase of soybean oil.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets.

MPC 364-Day Bank Revolving Credit Facilities

In February 2021, we elected to terminate our $1 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility due in April 2021. This facility provided us with additional liquidity and financial flexibility during the then ongoing commodity price and demand downturn. There were no borrowings under this credit facility, and we determined that the incremental borrowing capacity of the facility was no longer necessary. We do not intend to replace this facility. We incurred no early termination fees as a result of the early termination of this credit agreement.

Effective June 18, 2021, we terminated our $1 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility due in September 2021. There were no borrowings under this credit facility, and we determined that the incremental borrowing capacity of the facility was no longer necessary.

Trade Receivables Securitization Facility

On June 23, 2021, we reduced the capacity under our trade receivables securitization facility from $750 million to $100 million as we determined the incremental borrowing capacity of the facility was no longer necessary. This facility expired on July 16, 2021.

MPC Senior Notes

On March 1, 2021, we repaid the $1 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due March 2021.

In June 2021, all of the $300 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due April 2024, including the portion of such notes for which Andeavor was the obligor, were redeemed at a price equal to 100.854% of the principal amount.

MPLX Senior Notes

On January 15, 2021, MPLX redeemed all the $750 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior notes due January 2025, including the portion of such notes issued by ANDX, at a price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount.

On August 4, 2021, MPLX announced the intent to provide notice of the redemption of all of the $1 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of MPLX's LIBOR plus 1.100% per annum floating rate senior notes due September 9, 2022. The notes are expected to be redeemed on September 3, 2021, at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. MPLX expects to fund the redemption amount with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the MPLX credit agreement or the MPC intercompany loan agreement.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which we have not recorded a liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.

At both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $397 million. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, were $6 million and $7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Governmental and other entities in various states have filed lawsuits against energy companies, including MPC. The lawsuits allege damages as a result of climate change and the plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. We are currently subject to such proceedings in federal or state courts in California, Delaware, Maryland, Hawaii, Rhode Island and South Carolina. Similar lawsuits may be filed in other jurisdictions. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters remain uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined.

Table of Contents

We are involved in a number of environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other Legal Proceedings

In early July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification covered the rights of way for 23 tracts of land and demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations. The notification also assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. THPP appealed this determination, which triggered an automatic stay of the requested pipeline shutdown and payment. On October 29, 2020, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs issued an order vacating the BIA’s trespass order and requiring the Regional Director for the BIA Great Plains Region to issue a new decision on or before December 15, 2020 covering all 34 tracts at issue. On December 15, 2020, the Regional Director of the BIA issued a new trespass notice to THPP consistent with the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs order vacating the prior trespass order. The new order found that THPP was in trespass and assessed trespass damages of approximately $4 million (including interest), which has been paid. The order also required THPP to immediately cease and desist use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. THPP has complied with the Regional Director’s December 15, 2020 notice. On February 12, 2021, landowners filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota (the “District of North Dakota”) against THPP, the Department of the Interior, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, the Interior Board of Indian Appeals and the BIA, requesting, among other things, that decisions by the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs and the Interior Board of Indian Appeals be vacated as to the award of damages to plaintiffs. In March 2021, THPP received a copy of an order purporting to vacate all orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass issued by the BIA between July 2, 2020 and January 14, 2021. The order directs the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order, if necessary, after all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, landowners voluntarily dismissed the suit filed in the District of North Dakota. On April 23, 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA challenging the March order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass.

MPLX continues to work towards a settlement of this matter with holders of the property rights at issue. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We are also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.

Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees

LOOP and LOCAP

MPC and MPLX hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and MPLX holds an interest in a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, MPC, as a shipper, is required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements varies but tends to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2037. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $171 million as of June 30, 2021.

Dakota Access Pipeline

In connection with MPLX’s 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system, MPLX entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement. MPLX, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system.

Table of Contents

In March 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to conduct a full environmental impact statement (“EIS”), and further requested briefing on whether an easement necessary for the operation of the Bakken Pipeline system should be vacated while the EIS is being prepared.

On July 6, 2020, the D.D.C. ordered vacatur of the easement to cross Lake Oahe during the pendency of an EIS and further ordered a shut down of the pipeline by August 5, 2020. The D.D.C. denied a motion to stay that order. Dakota Access and the Army Corps appealed the D.D.C.’s orders to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”). On July 14, 2020, the Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay while the court considered Dakota Access and the Army Corps’ emergency motion for stay pending appeal. On August 5, 2020, the Court of Appeals stayed the D.D.C.’s injunction that required the pipeline be shutdown and emptied of oil by August 5, 2020. The Court of Appeals denied a stay of the D.D.C.’s March order, which required the EIS, and further denied a stay of the D.D.C.’s July order, which vacated the easement. On January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals upheld the D.D.C.’s order vacating the easement while the Army Corps prepares the EIS. The Court of Appeals reversed the D.D.C.’s order to the extent it directed that the pipeline be shutdown and emptied of oil. On May 21, 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction. On June 22, 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against Dakota Access. The judge noted that the plaintiffs may move to reopen the case in the event of a violation of the court’s prior orders. The pipeline remains operational.

If the pipeline is temporarily shut down pending completion of the EIS, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. It is expected that MPLX would contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of June 30, 2021, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $230 million.

Crowley Ocean Partners LLC and Crowley Blue Water Partners LLC

In connection with our 50 percent indirect interest in Crowley Ocean Partners LLC, we have agreed to conditionally guarantee our portion of the obligations of the joint venture and its subsidiaries under a senior secured term loan agreement. The term loan agreement provides for loans of up to $325 million to finance the acquisition of four product tankers. MPC’s liability under the guarantee for each vessel is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events, including if we cease to maintain an investment grade credit rating or the charter for the relevant product tanker ceases to be in effect and is not replaced by a charter with an investment grade company on certain defined commercial terms. As of June 30, 2021, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this agreement for debt principal totaled $114 million.

In connection with our 50 percent indirect interest in Crowley Blue Water Partners LLC, we have agreed to provide a conditional guarantee of up to 50 percent of its outstanding debt balance in the event there is no charter agreement in place with an investment grade customer for the entity’s three vessels as well as other financial support in certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2021, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this arrangement was $111 million.

Other guarantees

We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $99 million as of June 30, 2021, which primarily consist of a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events, in lieu of procuring insurance coverage, a commitment to fund a share of the bonds issued by a government entity for construction of public utilities in the event that other industrial users of the facility default on their utility payments and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2021, our contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and advance funds to equity method investees totaled $562 million.

Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require us to construct natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producer customers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements with us if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business Update

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing restricted travel, many business operations, public gatherings and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe resulted in dramatic reductions in airline flights and motor vehicle use in 2020 as compared to prior to the pandemic.

Through the first six months of 2021, while demand remains below historical levels, we continue to see recovery in the environment in which our business operates, albeit in some markets and regions more or less than others. The increased availability of vaccinations and the corresponding reductions in travel and business restrictions appear to be driving increased economic activity, including the opening of many business and schools as well as more in-person interaction broadly. While we have seen improving results through the first six months of 2021, we are unable to predict the potential effects a resurgence of COVID-19 may have on our financial position and results.

In response to this business environment, we continue to focus on three near-term priorities for our businesses:

Strengthen Competitive Position of Assets

We are committed to positioning our assets so that we are a leader in operational, financial, and sustainability performance and are evaluating the strength and fit of assets in our portfolio. Our goal is that each individual asset generates free-cash-flow back

Table of Contents

to the business and contributes to shareholder returns. With our investments we are focused on high returning projects that we believe will enhance the competitiveness of our portfolio, including our investments in sustainable fuels and technologies that lower our carbon intensity as the global energy mix evolves.

Improve Commercial Performance

We are focused on leveraging advantaged raw material selection, new approaches in the commercial space to be more dynamic amidst changing market conditions and achieving technology improvements to advance our commercial performance.

Lower Cost Structure

We are committed to achieving operational excellence by reducing costs, improving efficiency and driving operational improvements. In response to the pandemic, in March of 2020, we committed to immediately reducing our capital spending and operating expenses. In 2021, we are continuing this focus with planned reductions of over $200 million for our capital expenditures and investments as compared to 2020 (excluding capitalized interest, potential acquisitions and MPLX’s capital investment plan).

In connection with our commitment to lower cost and strengthen the competitive position of our assets, in the third quarter of 2020 we announced strategic actions to lay a foundation for long-term success, including plans to optimize our assets and structurally lower costs in 2021 and beyond. These actions included indefinitely idling the Gallup refinery, initiating actions to strategically reposition the Martinez refinery to a renewable diesel facility and the approval of an involuntary workforce reduction plan. Our results in the first six months of 2021 reflect the favorable effects from these cost reduction actions.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19, including its resulting economic effects, and we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from COVID-19 and how quickly our U.S. and economies around the world can recover once the pandemic ultimately subsides. However, the adverse impact of the economic effects on MPC has been and may continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no guarantee the measures will be fully effective.

Strategic Updates

On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven for cash proceeds of $21.38 billion. This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $11.68 billion ($8.02 billion after income taxes) after deducting the book value of the net assets and certain other adjustments. MPC remains committed to executing its plan to use the proceeds from the sale to strengthen the balance sheet and return capital to shareholders.

During the first six months of 2021, we utilized a portion of the Speedway sale proceeds to structurally reduce debt through the following actions:

•In June of 2021,we redeemed all of the $300 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due April 2024.

•In May of 2021, we repaid all outstanding commercial paper borrowings, which along with cash had been used to finance the fourth quarter 2020 repayments of two senior notes with total principal of $1.13 billion.

•On March 1, 2021, we repaid the $1.0 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due March 2021.

On February 24, 2021, MPC’s board of directors approved our plan to strategically reposition the Martinez refinery to a renewable diesel facility. Converting the Martinez facility from refining petroleum to manufacturing renewable fuels signals our strong commitment to producing a substantial level of lower carbon-intensity fuels in California. As envisioned, the Martinez facility would start producing approximately 260 million gallons per year of renewable diesel by the second half of 2022, with a potential to build to full capacity of approximately 730 million gallons per year by the end of 2023.

Table of Contents

The Dickinson, North Dakota, renewable fuels facility began ramping operations at the end of 2020 and reached full design operating capacity by the end of the second quarter of 2021. The facility has the capacity to produce 184 million gallons per year of renewable diesel from corn and soybean oil. MPC is selling the renewable diesel into the California market to comply with the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Net income (loss) attributable to MPC was $8.51 billion, or $13.00 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020 and $8.27 billion, or $12.71 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2021 compared to $(9.23) billion, or $(14.21) per diluted share, in the first six months of 2020.

For the second quarter of 2021, the change was largely due to the gain on the sale of Speedway and increases in average refined product sales prices and volumes, partially offset by the absence of an LCM benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2020 and a partial period of income from discontinued operations due to the sale of the Speedway business on May 14, 2021.

For the first six months of 2021, the change is primarily due to the gain on the sale of Speedway, the absence of impairment expenses and an LCM inventory charge in the first six months of 2020 and increases in average refined product sales prices and volumes, partially offset by a partial period of income from discontinued operations due to the sale of the Speedway business on May 14, 2021.

See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on discontinued operations.

Refer to the Results of Operations section for a discussion of consolidated financial results and segment results for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 and the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020.

MPLX

We owned approximately 647 million MPLX common units at June 30, 2021 with a market value of $19.17 billion based on the June 30, 2021 closing price of $29.61 per common unit. On July 27, 2021, MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6875 per common unit payable on August 13, 2021. As a result, MPLX will make distributions totaling $705 million to its common unitholders. MPC’s portion of these distributions is approximately $445 million.

We received limited partner distributions of $890 million from MPLX in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $904 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on MPLX.

Total liquidity					$	22,348

(a)Outstanding borrowings include $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

(b)Excludes cash and cash equivalents of MPLX of $8 million.

Effective June 18, 2021, we terminated our $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility due in September 2021 and on June 23, 2021, we reduced the capacity under our trade receivables securitization facility from $750 million to $100 million. The trade receivables securitization facility expired in July of 2021, however, we plan to secure a new $100 million trade receivable facility in the third quarter of 2021.

Additionally, nearly all of our tax refund of approximately $2.1 billion is expected to be received during the second half of 2021. We are working with the IRS to facilitate the refund, but we do not control the timing of this payment.

MPLX’s liquidity totaled $4.52 billion at June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, MPLX had cash and cash equivalents of $8 million, $3.5 billion available under its $3.5 billion revolving credit agreement and $1.0 billion available through its intercompany loan agreement with MPC.

OVERVIEW OF SEGMENTS

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations depends largely on our Refining & Marketing margin, refining operating costs, refining planned turnarounds, distribution costs, depreciation expenses and refinery throughputs.

Our Refining & Marketing margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of products purchased for resale. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil, commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same direction as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. The following are used for these crack spread calculations:

•The Gulf Coast crack spread uses three barrels of MEH crude producing two barrels of USGC CBOB gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD. In the first quarter of 2021, we transitioned to MEH crude from LLS crude;

•The Mid-Continent crack spread uses three barrels of WTI crude producing two barrels of Chicago CBOB gasoline and one barrel of Chicago ULSD; and

•The West Coast crack spread uses three barrels of ANS crude producing two barrels of LA CARBOB and one barrel of LA CARB Diesel.

Our refineries can process significant amounts of sweet and sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to crude oil referenced in our Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads. The amount of these discounts, which we refer to as the sweet differential and sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing margin to differ from blended crack spreads. In general, larger sweet and sour differentials will enhance our Refining & Marketing margin.

Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors, as well as U.S. energy policy.

Table of Contents

The following table provides sensitivities showing an estimated change in annual net income due to potential changes in market conditions.


(In millions, after-tax)
Blended crack spread sensitivity(a) (per $1.00/barrel change)	$	838
Sour differential sensitivity(b) (per $1.00/barrel change)	396
Sweet differential sensitivity(c) (per $1.00/barrel change)	381
Natural gas price sensitivity(d) (per $1.00/MMBtu)	275

(a)Crack spread based on 40 percent MEH, 40 percent WTI and 20 percent ANS with Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast product pricing, respectively, and assumes all other differentials and pricing relationships remain unchanged.

(b)Sour crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: ANS, Argus Sour Crude Index, Maya and Western Canadian Select. We expect approximately 51 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2021 will be sour crude.

(c)Sweet crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: Bakken, Brent, MEH, WTI-Cushing and WTI-Midland. We expect approximately 49 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2021 will be sweet crude.

(d)This is consumption-based exposure for our Refining & Marketing segment and does not include the sales exposure for our Midstream segment.

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sour differential and the sweet differential, our Refining & Marketing margin is impacted by factors such as:

•the selling prices realized for refined products;

•the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;

•our refinery yields;

•the cost of products purchased for resale;

•the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk;

•the potential impact of LCM adjustments to inventories in periods of declining prices; and

•the potential impact of LIFO liquidation charges due to draw-downs from historic inventory levels.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations is also affected by changes in refinery operating costs and refining planned turnaround costs in addition to committed distribution costs. Changes in operating costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Refining planned turnarounds, requiring temporary shutdown of certain refinery operating units, are periodically performed at each refinery. Distribution costs primarily include long-term agreements with MPLX, which as discussed below include minimum commitments to MPLX, and will negatively impact income from operations in periods when throughput or sales are lower or refineries are idled.

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to our Refining & Marketing segment. Certain of these agreements include commitments for minimum quarterly throughput and distribution volumes of crude oil and refined products and minimum storage volumes of crude oil, refined products and other products. Certain other agreements include commitments to pay for 100 percent of available capacity for certain marine transportation and refining logistics assets.

Midstream

Our Midstream segment transports, stores, distributes and markets crude oil and refined products, principally for our Refining & Marketing segment. The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. The profitability of our marine operations primarily depends on the quantity and availability of our vessels and barges. The profitability of our light product terminal operations primarily depends on the throughput volumes at these terminals. The profitability of our fuels distribution services primarily depends on the sales volumes of certain refined products. The profitability of our refining logistics operations depends on the quantity and availability of our refining logistics assets. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our pipelines and marine vessels and the refined product throughput at our terminals serve our Refining & Marketing segment and our refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services are used solely by our Refining & Marketing segment. As discussed above in the Refining & Marketing section, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements related to services provided to our Refining & Marketing segment. Under these agreements, MPLX has received various commitments of minimum throughput, storage and distribution volumes as well as commitments to pay for all available capacity of certain assets. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines, terminals and marine operations. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability

Table of Contents

and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport, store, distribute and market is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines and marine operations. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Our Midstream segment also gathers and processes natural gas and NGLs. NGL and natural gas prices are volatile and are impacted by changes in fundamental supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty, availability of NGL transportation and fractionation capacity and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Our Midstream segment profitability is affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of processing or conditioning at our own or third‑party processing plants, purchasing and selling or gathering and transporting volumes of natural gas at index‑related prices and the cost of third‑party transportation and fractionation services. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of natural gas drilling by our producer customers, such prices also affect profitability.

(a)In accordance with discontinued operations accounting, Speedway sales to retail customers and net results are reflected in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax and Refining & Marketing intercompany sales to Speedway are now presented as third party sales through the close of the sale on May 14, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020

Net income attributable to MPC increased $8.50 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 largely due to the gain on the sale of Speedway, increases in refined product sales volumes and prices, partially offset by the absence of an LCM inventory benefit in the second quarter of 2020 and a partial period of income from discontinued operations due to the sale of the Speedway business on May 14, 2021.

Revenues and other income increased $17.53 billion primarily due to:

•increased sales and other operating revenues of $17.42 billion primarily due to increased Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $1.06 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 611 mbpd; and

•increased other income of $95 million primarily due to higher income on RIN sales.

Table of Contents

Costs and expenses increased $17.14 billion primarily due to:

•increased cost of revenues of $15.68 billion mainly due to higher refined product raw material and crude oil costs;

•the absence of an LCM benefit of $1.47 billion resulting from a lower LCM reserve as of June 30, 2020 as compared to March 31, 2020; and

•decreased selling, general and administrative expenses of $40 million largely due to cost reductions realized from our 2020 workforce reduction and other cost control efforts.

Net interest and other financial costs increased $31 million largely due to pension settlement losses of $49 million, partially offset by decreased interest expense due to lower MPC and MPLX borrowings.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax differences related to income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $150 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which was higher than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to impacts attributable to noncontrolling interests, state taxes and the tax rate differential resulting from the expected NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act.

Noncontrolling interests increased $23 million primarily due to an increase in MPLX’s net income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Net income attributable to MPC increased $17.50 billion in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020 primarily due to the gain on the sale of Speedway, the absence of impairment expenses and an LCM inventory charge in the first six months of 2020 and increases in average refined product sales prices and volumes, partially offset by a partial period of income from discontinued operations due to the sale of the Speedway business on May 14, 2021.

Revenues and other income increased $19.41 billion primarily due to:

•increased sales and other operating revenues of $17.93 billion primarily due to increased average refined product sales prices of $0.63 per gallon and increased Refining & Marketing segment refined product sales volumes, which increased 46 mbpd;

•increased income from equity method investments of $1.34 billion largely due to impairments of equity method investments of $1.32 billion recorded in the first six months of 2020 primarily driven by the effects of COVID-19 and the decline in commodity prices; and

•increased other income of $149 million primarily due to higher income on RIN sales.

Costs and expenses increased $6.65 billion primarily due to:

•increased cost of revenues of $16.42 billion primarily due to higher crude oil and refined product raw material costs;

•the absence of an LCM charge of $1.72 billion primarily driven by the effects of COVID-19 and the decline in commodity prices in the prior year;

•decreased impairment expense of $7.85 billion due to impairments recorded for goodwill and long-lived assets in the in the first six months of 2020 primarily driven by the effects of COVID-19 and the decline in commodity prices in the prior year; and

•decreased selling, general and administrative expenses of $207 million largely due to cost reductions realized from our 2020 workforce reduction and other cost control efforts.

Net interest and other financial costs increased $52 million largely due to pension settlement losses of $49 million.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax differences related to income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax benefit of $1.80 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a significant amount of our pre-tax loss consisting of non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charges, partially offset by the tax rate differential resulting from the expected NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act. Additionally, our non-controlling interest in MPLX generally provides an effective tax rate benefit since the tax associated with those ownership interests is paid by those interests, but this benefit was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to impairment charges recorded by MPLX.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $1.31 billion primarily due to an increase in MPLX’s net income largely due to impairment expense recognized during the first six months of 2020.

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020

Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $17.19 billion primarily due to increased average refined product sales prices of $1.06 per gallon and increased refined product sales volume of 611 mbpd.

Net refinery throughputs increased 578 mbpd during the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to continuing industry recovery from the impact of COVID-19 in 2020.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations increased $1.77 billion primarily due to higher blended crack spreads and reduced refining planned turnaround and refining operating costs.

Refining & Marketing margin was $12.45 per barrel for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $7.64 per barrel for the second quarter of 2020. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by our performance against the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $1.3 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher crack spreads. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, the effect of market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, the effect of RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances and fuel margin from sales to direct dealers. These factors had an estimated net positive effect of approximately $300 million on Refining & Marketing segment income in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $77 million, or $1.54 per barrel, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 as we took actions to reduce costs in response to the economic effects of COVID-19, including idling portions of our refining capacity. The per barrel cost also decreased as a result of higher throughputs during the quarter.

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $94 million and include fees paid to MPLX of $866 million and $841 million for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. On a per barrel basis, distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $0.83 per barrel as increased costs were offset by higher throughput.

Refining planned turnaround costs decreased $101 million, or $0.54 per barrel, due to the timing of turnaround activity.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.44 per barrel primarily due to higher throughput.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $17.57 billion primarily due to increased average refined product sales prices of $0.63 per gallon and higher refined product sales volumes, which increased 46 mbpd.

Net refinery throughputs increased 75 mbpd in the first six months of 2021, primarily due to continuing industry recovery from the impact of COVID-19 in 2020.

Refining & Marketing segment loss from operations decreased $1.67 billion primarily driven by higher blended crack spreads and reduced refining operating and refining planned turnaround costs, partially offset by narrower sweet and sour differentials.

Refining & Marketing margin was $11.37 per barrel for the first six months of 2021 compared to $10.04 per barrel for the first six months of 2020. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $700 million on Refining & Marketing margin for the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020, primarily due to higher crack spreads partially offset by narrower sweet and sour differentials. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances and direct dealer fuel margin. These factors had an estimated net positive effect of approximately $100 million on Refining & Marketing segment income in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization and the winter storm effect, decreased $525 million, or $1.20 per barrel, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 as we took actions to reduce costs in response to the economic effects of COVID-19, including idling portions of our refining capacity.

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $2.51 billion in both periods and include fees paid to MPLX of $1.71 billion and $1.70 billion for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. On a per barrel basis, distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $0.12 per barrel due to higher throughput.

Refining planned turnaround costs decreased $318 million, or $0.67 per barrel, due to the timing of turnaround activity.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.02 per barrel as increased costs were offset by higher throughput.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management uses a financial measure to evaluate our operating performance that is calculated and presented on the basis of a methodology other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to its most comparable GAAP financial measure, it provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measure we use is as follows:

Refining & Marketing Margin

Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less the cost of refinery inputs and purchased products and excludes other items as reflected in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance for continuing operations was approximately $11.84 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $415 million at December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents for discontinued operations was $140 million at December 31, 2020. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are presented in the following table.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,834	$	(230)
Investing activities	15,403		(2,077)
Financing activities	(5,954)		1,871
Total increase (decrease) in cash	$	11,283	$	(436)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2.06 billion in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020, primarily due to a favorable change in working capital of $1.31 billion when comparing the change in working capital in both periods and an increase in operating results. Changes in working capital exclude changes in short-term debt. The favorable continuing operations changes were partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by discontinued operations of $757 million which reflect the results of the Speedway business. The decrease in cash provided by discontinued operating cash flows is due to tax payments related to the gain on sale and working capital changes.

Changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $347 million use of cash in the first six months of 2021 compared to a net $1.66 billion use of cash in the first six months of 2020.

For the first six months of 2021, changes in working capital were a net $347 million use of cash primarily due to the effects of increasing energy commodity prices and volumes at the end of the period on working capital. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude prices and volumes. Current receivables increased primarily due to higher crude and refined product prices and volumes. Inventories increased primarily due to increases in refined product and crude inventories.

For the first six months of 2020, changes in working capital, excluding the LCM reserve and changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.66 billion use of cash primarily due to the effects of decreasing energy commodity prices and volumes at the end of the period on working capital. Accounts payable decreased primarily due to decreases in crude prices and volumes. Current receivables decreased primarily due to lower crude and refined product prices and volumes. Excluding the LCM reserve, inventories decreased due to decreases in crude and refined product inventories.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $15.40 billion in the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2.08 billion in the first six months of 2020. The change from 2020 is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of Speedway of $21.38 billion and a decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment of $1.09 billion, partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $5.42 billion.

During the first six months of 2021, MPC repaid $1.3 billion of senior notes, borrowed and repaid $3.65 billion under its revolving credit facility and borrowed and repaid $4.65 billion under its trade receivables facility. MPLX redeemed $750 million of senior notes and had net payments of $175 million under its revolving credit facility. During the first six months of 2020, MPC issued $2.5 billion of senior notes, borrowed and repaid $3.5 billion under its revolving credit facility, borrowed and repaid $1.18 billion under its trade receivables facility and MPLX had net borrowings of $825 million under its revolving credit facility.

•Cash used in common stock repurchases, including fees and expenses, totaled $984 million in the first six months of 2021. See the “Capital Requirements” section for further discussion of our stock repurchases.

•Repurchases of noncontrolling interests were $310 million in the first six months of 2021 related to the repurchase of MPLX common units. See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of MPLX.

Capital Resources

MPC, Excluding MPLX

We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner, however, the creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements. The assets of MPLX can only be used to settle its own obligations and its creditors have no recourse to our assets. Therefore, in the following table, we present the liquidity of MPC, excluding MPLX. MPLX liquidity is discussed in the following section.

Our liquidity, excluding MPLX, totaled $22.35 billion at June 30, 2021 consisting of:


	June 30, 2021
(In millions)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Available Capacity
Bank revolving credit facility(a)	$	5,000	$	1	$	4,999
Trade receivables facility	100		—		100
Total	$	5,100	$	1	$	5,099
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments(b)					17,249
Total liquidity					$	22,348

(a)Outstanding borrowings include $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

(b)Excludes cash and cash equivalents of MPLX of $8 million.

Table of Contents

On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven for cash proceeds of $21.38 billion. This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $11.68 billion ($8.02 billion after income taxes) after deducting the book value of the net assets and certain other adjustments. We utilized a portion of the Speedway sale proceeds to structurally reduce debt and the remaining proceeds are included in our liquidity as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets and a commercial paper program, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

We have a commercial paper program that allows us to have a maximum of $2.0 billion in commercial paper outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

The MPC credit agreement contains and our trade receivables facility contained representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of these types. The financial covenant included in the MPC credit agreement requires us to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the MPC credit agreements) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the MPC bank revolving credit facility and our trade receivables facility, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization of less than 0.00 to 1.00.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of June 30, 2021, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt are as follows.


Company	Rating Agency	Rating
MPC	Moody’s	Baa2 (stable outlook)
	Standard & Poor’s	BBB (negative outlook)
	Fitch	BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment-grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

The MPC credit agreement does not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable thereunder and may limit our flexibility to obtain financing in the future, including to refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment-grade levels could, under certain circumstances, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit under existing transportation services or other agreements.

See Note 19 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

MPLX

MPLX’s liquidity totaled $4.52 billion at June 30, 2021 consisting of:


	June 30, 2021
(In millions)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Available Capacity
MPLX LP - bank revolving credit facility	$	3,500	$	—	$	3,500
MPC intercompany loan agreement	1,500		493		1,007
Total	$	5,000	$	493	$	4,507
Cash and cash equivalents					8
Total liquidity					$	4,515

On August 4, 2021, MPLX announced the intent to provide notice of the redemption of all of the $1 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of MPLX's LIBOR plus 1.100% per annum floating rate senior notes due September 9, 2022. The notes are expected to be redeemed on September 3, 2021, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. MPLX expects to fund the redemption amount with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the MPLX credit agreement or the MPC intercompany loan agreement.

The MPLX credit agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The financial covenant requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the MPLX credit agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other covenants restrict MPLX and/or certain of its subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2021, MPLX was in compliance with the covenants, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.7 to 1.0.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile for MPLX. As of June 30, 2021, the credit ratings on MPLX’s senior unsecured debt are as follows.


Company	Rating Agency	Rating
MPLX	Moody’s	Baa2 (stable outlook)
	Standard & Poor’s	BBB (negative outlook)
	Fitch	BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment-grade rating for MPLX, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

The agreements governing MPLX’s debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that MPLX credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of MPLX senior unsecured debt to below investment grade ratings could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements. In addition, a downgrade of MPLX senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment-grade levels may limit MPLX’s ability to obtain future financing, including to refinance existing indebtedness.

See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 19 for further discussion of MPLX’s debt.

Capital Requirements

Capital Investment Plan

MPC's capital investment plan for 2021 totals approximately $1.4 billion for capital projects and investments, excluding capitalized interest, potential acquisitions and MPLX’s capital investment plan. MPC’s capital investment plan includes all of the planned capital spending for Refining & Marketing and Corporate, as well as a portion of the planned capital investments in Midstream and Speedway’s capital spending through the close of the sale on May 14, 2021, which is now reported separately as discontinued operations. The remainder of the planned capital spending for Midstream reflects the capital investment plan for MPLX, which totals $1.0 billion, excluding project reimbursements paid by MPC to MPLX and return of capital from MPLX’s joint venture partners. We continuously evaluate our capital investment plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Table of Contents

Capital expenditures and investments for MPC and MPLX are summarized below.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Capital expenditures and investments:(a)
MPC continuing operations, excluding MPLX
Refining & Marketing	$	310	$	741
Midstream - Other	36		158
Corporate and Other(b)	44		45
Total MPC continuing operations, excluding MPLX	$	390	$	944

MPC discontinued operations - Speedway	$	177	$	131

Midstream - MPLX	$	280	$	741

(a) Capital expenditures exclude changes in capital accruals.

(b) Excludes capitalized interest of $30 million and $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily for Refining & Marketing and Midstream segment projects. Major Refining & Marketing projects include the conversion of the Martinez facility from refining petroleum to manufacturing renewable fuels and the South Texas Asset Repositioning (“STAR”) project intended to optimize operations and reduce costs at our Galveston Bay refinery, in addition to other projects that we expect will help us reduce future operating costs.

Major Midstream projects include increasing processing capacity at a gas processing plant in the Marcellus region, which was placed in service, the Whistler natural gas pipeline, which began full commercial service, the Wink to Webster crude oil pipeline and the reversal of the Capline crude pipeline.

Other Capital Requirements

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we contributed $226 million to our funded pension plans. We may choose to make additional contributions to our pension plans.

On July 28, 2021, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.58 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable September 10, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 18, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, $77 million of restructuring expenses were accrued as restructuring reserves in our consolidated balance sheet. We expect cash payments for the remaining exit and disposal costs reserve to occur through 2024.

We may, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes in the open market, in tender offers, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

Share Repurchases

Since January 1, 2012, our board of directors has approved $25.05 billion in total share repurchase authorizations and we have repurchased a total of $16.03 billion of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, our contractual cash obligations included long-term debt, capital and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities. During the first six months of 2021, our long-term debt commitments decreased approximately $3.97 billion primarily due to the repayment of $1.3 billion of MPC senior notes, net repayment of $1.0 billion under the MPC commercial paper program, the redemption of $750 million of MPLX senior notes and net repayment of $175 million under the MPLX revolving credit facility.

During the quarter, we terminated a transportation services agreement with a total commitment of approximately $560 million through the year 2028. There were no other material changes to our contractual cash obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under U.S. GAAP. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to indemnities and guarantees that are described below. Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

We have provided various guarantees related to equity method investees. These arrangements are described in Note 24 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.

There have been no significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

We have not identified any recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a detailed discussion of our risk management strategies and our derivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

See Notes 17 and 18 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The following table includes the composition of net gains and losses on our commodity derivative positions as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Realized gain (loss) on settled derivative positions	$	(172)	$	147
Unrealized loss on open net derivative positions	(76)		(44)
Net gain (loss)	$	(248)	$	103

See Note 18 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on our open derivative positions at June 30, 2021.

Sensitivity analysis of the effects on income from operations (“IFO”) of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of June 30, 2021 is provided in the following table.


	Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Increase of				Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Decrease of
(In millions)	10%		25%		10%		25%
As of June 30, 2021
Crude	$	(29)	$	(74)	$	30	$	74
Refined products	(33)		(82)		33		82
Blending products	(15)		(37)		15		37
Soybean oil	(19)		(47)		19		47
Embedded derivatives	(10)		(25)		10		25

We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.

We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after June 30, 2021 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt, including the portion classified as current and excluding finance leases, as of June 30, 2021 is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

Table of Contents


(In millions)	Fair Value as of June 30, 2021(a)		Change in Fair Value(b)		Change in Net Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021(c)
Long-term debt
Fixed-rate	$	30,782	$	2,784	n/a
Variable-rate	1,000		12		14

(a)Fair value was based on market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates for financings with similar terms and maturities.

(b)Assumes a 100-basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at June 30, 2021.

(c)Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to net income was based on the weighted average balance of debt outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, our portfolio of long-term debt was comprised of fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under our variable-rate debt, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 17 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of our debt.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than $300,000.

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the matters previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
