Marathon Petroleum Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results

FINDLAY, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Reported third quarter earnings of $737 million, or $1.62 per diluted share
  • Refining and Marketing segment income from operations of $666 million as strong market fundamentals supported high utilization
  • Midstream segment income from operations of $679 million, achieved significant growth with higher volumes and multiple new assets coming online
  • Generated $1.2 billion in cash from operations during the quarter and returned $607 million to shareholders
  • Closed Andeavor acquisition on October 1st with integration underway

Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) reported 2018 third quarter earnings of $737 million, or $1.62 per diluted share. Third quarter 2018 earnings included pre-tax charges of $49 million related to pension settlement and transaction costs, or approximately $0.08 per diluted share. This compares with $903 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

“On October 1, we closed on our strategic combination with Andeavor after a vote that demonstrated overwhelming support by both sets of shareholders. We are now the leading, integrated, downstream energy company in the U.S.,” said Gary R. Heminger, chairman and chief executive officer. “As we look forward, we see extraordinary potential across our nationwide platform including over $1 billion of annual run-rate synergies within the first three years.”

“This was another impressive quarter,” Heminger continued. “Our team’s strong execution drove over $1.2 billion of cash from operations, allowing us to return $607 million to shareholders, contributing to the $3.2 billion of capital returned so far in 2018. The market environment appears favorable and our integrated business model enables us to capture opportunities including wider crude differentials and the changing dynamics of low-sulfur fuel requirements which we expect to begin to see in the second half of 2019.”

Segment Results

MPC’s income from operations was $1.40 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $1.58 billion in the third quarter of 2017, driven by strong contributions from the Midstream segment, offset by lower segment income from operations in the Refining and Marketing (R&M) and Speedway segments.

         and administrative expenses to net interest and other financial costs to conform to current period presentation.

Refining & Marketing

R&M segment income from operations was $666 million, compared with $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in R&M segment results was primarily driven by lower Midwest and Gulf Coast crack spreads, partially offset by wider WCS- and WTI- based crude differentials. In addition, R&M segment income was $230 million lower resulting from the February 1, 2018 dropdown transaction. Prior period R&M segment results do not reflect the impact of the dropdown.

Refinery utilization was 97 percent during the quarter. The U.S. Gulf Coast and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread on an ex-RIN basis was $8.03 per barrel in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $8.68 per barrel in the third quarter of 2017. These crack spreads are net of RIN crack adjustments of $1.73 and $4.00 per barrel for the third quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Midstream

Midstream segment income from operations, which largely reflects MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX), was $679 million in the quarter, compared with $355 million in the third quarter of 2017. The results include $230 million from the February 1, 2018 drop of refining logistics and fuels distribution services to MPLX. Prior period Midstream segment results do not reflect the impact of these businesses. The incremental $94 million increase in third quarter Midstream segment results were driven by strong pipeline throughput volumes as well as record gathered, processed and fractionated volumes.

During the quarter, MPLX announced several new projects. First, the company plans to participate in a new 600-mile crude pipeline running from the Permian Basin to the Texas Gulf Coast region. Second, the company also plans to jointly develop the Whistler Pipeline, a 2.0 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) pipeline designed to deliver natural gas to the Agua Dulce market hub. Lastly, the company announced the acquisition of a Gulf Coast export terminal in Mt. Airy, Louisiana with 4 million barrels of third-party leased storage capacity and a 120 thousand barrel-per-day (mbpd) dock.

Additionally in October, MPLX announced with Crimson Midstream, LLC the commencement of an open season on the proposed 600 mbpd Swordfish Pipeline from St. James, Louisiana, and Raceland, Louisiana, to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port LLC (LOOP) terminal facility in Clovelly, Louisiana.

Speedway

Speedway segment income from operations was $161 million in the quarter, compared with $208 million in the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in segment results was primarily related to higher operating expenses and lower light product margins. Speedway’s gasoline and distillate margin decreased to 16.51 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2018 compared with 17.72 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to the effects of rising crude oil prices.

For the quarter, same-store merchandise sales increased by 4.9 percent and same-store gasoline sales volume decreased by 1.2 percent year-over-year. Expenses increased $28 million, primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs. Depreciation was $8 million higher, primarily due to increased investment in the business.

MPC has begun the process of converting the Andeavor company-owned-and-operated stores to the Speedway brand. Since the closing of the transaction on October 1st, roughly 90 sites in the St. Paul and Minneapolis markets have been converted and the company expects to complete approximately 200 sites in total by the end of 2018.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Items not allocated to segments totaled $103 million of expenses in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $83 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase was due to transaction costs related to the combination with Andeavor and increased employee benefit costs.

Strong Financial Position and Liquidity

On September 30, 2018, the company had $5.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents, including the approximately $3.5 billion necessary to close the Andeavor transaction on October 1, 2018; $2.5 billion available under a revolving credit agreement and full availability under its $750 million trade receivables securitization facility.

During the quarter, MPC returned $607 million to MPC shareholders, including $400 million in share repurchases. MPC remains committed to its disciplined capital strategy and returning capital beyond the needs of the business in a manner consistent with maintaining the company’s current investment-grade credit profile.

MPC Revolving Credit Agreements

On August 28, 2018, in connection with the Andeavor transaction, MPC entered into agreements with a syndicate of lenders to replace MPC’s previous credit facilities. The facilities, which became effective October 1, 2018, provide for a $5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement that expires in 2023 and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that expires in 2019.

The financial covenants and the interest rate terms contained in the new credit agreements are substantially the same as those contained in the previous bank revolving credit facilities.

MPC Senior Notes

As a result of the completion of the Andeavor transaction, MPC assumed an aggregate principal amount of $3.375 billion senior notes issued by Andeavor. On October 2, 2018, approximately $2.905 billion aggregate principal amount of Andeavor’s outstanding senior notes were part of an exchange offer and consent solicitation undertaken by MPC and Andeavor, where unsecured notes were exchanged for new unsecured senior notes issued by MPC having the same maturity and interest rates as the Andeavor senior notes and cash.

Other Strategic Updates

In October, MPC began evaluating the financial business plans of Andeavor Logistics LP (NYSE: ANDX), with the intent to move toward financial policies more consistent with its approach towards MPLX. This approach includes meaningfully higher distribution coverage, leverage levels at or below 4.0x EBITDA, no planned public equity issuances, and independent sustainability with limited parent support.

MPC plans to engage advisors and begin the process of assessing all options for the two MLPs, which could include MPLX acquiring ANDX and ANDX acquiring MPLX.

(a)     On Feb. 1, 2018, we contributed certain refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services to MPLX. The results of these 
         businesses are reported in the Midstream segment prospectively from Feb. 1, resulting in a net increase of $230 million and 
         $643 million to Midstream segment results and a net decrease to Refining & Marketing segment results of the same amounts 
         in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively. No effect was given to prior periods as these entities were not 
         considered businesses prior to Feb. 1, 2018.

(b)     We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Retirement Benefits Presentation of Pension and Postretirement Cost, as 
         of Jan. 1, 2018, and applied the standard retrospectively. As a result, we reclassified prior period amounts from selling, general 
         and administrative expenses to net interest and other financial costs to conform to current period presentation.

(c)       Includes transaction-related costs from the Andeavor merger of $4 million and $14 million in the three and nine months ended 
         September 30, 2018, respectively.

(d)       Capital expenditures include changes in capital accruals and investments in affiliates, excluding acquisitions.

(e)       Includes capitalized interest of $21 million, $13 million, $55 million and $39 million, respectively.

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

(b)        On Feb. 1, 2018, we contributed certain refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services to MPLX. The results of these 
          businesses are reported in the Midstream segment prospectively from Feb. 1, resulting in a net increase of $230 million and 
          $643 million to Midstream segment results and a net decrease to Refining & Marketing segment results of the same amounts 
          in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively. No effect was given to prior periods as these entities were not 
          considered businesses prior to Feb. 1, 2018.

(c)        Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products, excluding any 
          LCM inventory market adjustment. 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 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 calculations 
          thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

          Speedway merchandise margin is defined as the price paid by consumers less the cost of merchandise. We believe these non-
