Marathon Petroleum Corp. Reports Third-Quarter 2017 Results


•	Reported third-quarter earnings of $903 million, or $1.77 per diluted share


•	Achieved strong refining throughput in the third quarter despite Gulf Coast hurricanes


•	Reported record Midstream segment results, primarily driven by MPLX


•	Continued execution of strategic actions, including completion of Speedway evaluation and dropdown of joint-interest ownership in certain assets to MPLX for $1.05 billion


•	Offered remaining dropdown to MPLX; evaluation underway


•	Returned $654 million of capital to shareholders, including $452 million in share repurchases

FINDLAY, Ohio, Oct. 26, 2017 – Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) today reported 2017 third-quarter earnings of $903 million, or $1.77 per diluted share. This compares with $145 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016.

“All segments of the business reported strong results in the quarter, highlighting the earnings power of our integrated model,” said Gary R. Heminger, chairman and chief executive officer. “We operated very well and were able to capture strong crack spreads. I am particularly proud of our dedicated employees for operating our facilities safely and reliably to meet the needs of our customers and the market under extremely challenging weather conditions during the recent hurricanes.

“In addition to our continued focus on driving strong operational and financial results, MPC is delivering on the strategic actions designed to further enhance shareholder value over the long term,” Heminger added.

Since the beginning of the year, MPC has contributed assets, including the third-quarter dropdown transaction, to MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) with a combined transaction value of $3.065 billion, resulting in consideration of $1.7 billion in after-tax cash proceeds and 32 million MPLX units. The company used a substantial portion of after-tax cash proceeds from the dropdowns to return $2.2 billion of capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases year-to-date. As a continuing demonstration of this commitment to create long-term value for shareholders, the company expects to repurchase at least $550 million of its shares in the fourth quarter.

Also as part of the strategic actions, a full and thorough review of Speedway has been completed. The company’s board of directors, based on the recommendation from its independent special committee, was unanimous in its conclusion that the greatest long-term value for shareholders is optimized with Speedway remaining a fully integrated business within MPC.

Continuing with the execution of its strategic actions, the company has offered the remaining identified dropdown to MPLX and the offer is currently under review by the conflicts committee of the MPLX board of directors. The dropdown includes refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services, with total projected annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $1 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018. Further return of capital to shareholders is planned with the after-tax cash proceeds from the remaining dropdown, consistent with maintaining MPC's current investment grade credit profile. MPC also expects to exchange its general partner (GP) economic interests in MPLX for newly issued MPLX common units in conjunction with the closing of the

dropdown. This exchange will provide a clear valuation of MPC’s GP interest and is expected to reduce MPLX’s cost of capital for the long term.

MPC's Midstream segment, which largely reflects the results of MPLX, reported record financial results in the quarter, contributing $355 million in segment income from operations. The increase over the third quarter of last year was primarily due to record gathered, processed and fractionated volumes.

“MPLX delivered another exceptional quarter, continuing its track record of operational excellence and strong financial results,” Heminger said. “With visibility to strong growth opportunities through a robust portfolio of organic projects and strong distribution coverage, MPLX is well-positioned to be a significant source of long-term value for our investors, which will be further enhanced once the exchange of MPC’s GP economic interests is complete.”

MPLX continues to build on its strong footprint in the Marcellus, Permian and STACK shale plays. Total Northeast processing capacity has increased to approximately 5.8 billion cubic feet per day (cfd), up 400 million cfd, an increase of 7 percent, since the beginning of the year. Additionally, the partnership expects to add approximately 1.5 billion cfd of processing capacity, an increase of 19 percent, in 2018. Approximately 1.2 billion cfd of that increased capacity is in the Northeast, and approximately 300 million cfd is in the Southwest.

On the retail side, Speedway reported strong third-quarter segment income from operations of $209 million. Results were driven by solid light product and merchandise gross margins. Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J also favorably impacted the quarter.

“Speedway continues to deliver top-tier operational and financial performance and has significant opportunities for growth over the long term,” Heminger said. “This performance, and its contribution to MPC, is further validation of Speedway's importance to our integrated model and its ability to generate substantial returns for our shareholders. We will continue to focus resources and capital to Speedway to drive additional value over the long term.”

The Refining & Marketing segment reported third-quarter segment income from operations of $1.097 billion, an $845 million increase from the third quarter of 2016. Results were largely driven by higher LLS-based blended crack spreads and the ability to maintain high utilization rates, with refinery throughputs exceeding 2 million barrels per day. Multiple refinery production records, including record crude throughput during the month of August, were achieved during the quarter in spite of the hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. These benefits were partially offset by less favorable product price realizations versus benchmark spot prices.

“We are encouraged by improving market fundamentals and prospects for a more balanced supply-and-demand environment going forward,” Heminger said. “With our fully integrated and flexible system, strategically located assets that provide excellent optionality, and a focus on operational excellence, we believe we have a sustainable long-term competitive advantage that drives real value for shareholders over the long term. We also believe the execution of the final steps in our strategic actions will be important sources of value and cash flow, further supporting MPC’s long-term value proposition for investors.”

Segment Results

Total income from operations was $1.58 billion in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $435 million in the third quarter of 2016.

^(a)

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

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing (R&M) segment income from operations was $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $252 million in the same quarter of 2016. The increase in the segment results for the third-quarter 2017 from the third-quarter of 2016 was primarily a result of a $3.47 per barrel increase in the R&M gross margin. This favorable effect was due to significantly higher blended LLS-based crack spreads partially offset by less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices. The U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased to $12.69 per barrel in the third quarter of 2017 from $8.08 per barrel in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in the USGC crack spread. Refinery throughputs exceeded 2 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2017 and crude oil capacity utilization was 102 percent for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 100 percent for the third quarter of 2016.

Speedway

Speedway segment income from operations was $209 million in both the third quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2016. The comparable third-quarter-to-third-quarter segment results reflect the benefits of Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J and reduced operating expenses, offset by lower light product gross margin, primarily driven by lower sales volume, and lower merchandise gross margin. Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2016. Speedway’s light product margin was 17.72 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2017 compared with 17.73 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2016.

Midstream

Midstream segment income from operations, which primarily reflects the results of MPLX, was $355 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $310 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to record gathered, processed and fractionated volumes at MPLX.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Corporate and other unallocated expenses of $86 million in the third quarter of 2017 were $21 million higher than the third quarter of 2016, largely due to higher corporate expenses and an increase in employee benefit expenses.

Impairments in the third quarter of 2016 included a non-cash charge of $267 million related to the impairment of MPC's equity investment in the canceled Sandpiper Pipeline project.

Strong Financial Position and Liquidity

On Sept. 30, 2017, the company had $2.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, excluding MPLX’s cash and cash equivalents of $3 million, $2.5 billion available under a revolving credit agreement, $1 billion available under a 364-day bank revolving credit facility and full availability under its $750 million trade receivables securitization facility. The company’s liquidity should provide it with sufficient flexibility to meet its day-to-day operational needs and continue its balanced approach to investing in the business and returning capital to shareholders.

Conference Call

At 9 a.m. EDT today, MPC will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss the reported results and provide an update on company operations. Interested parties may listen to the conference call by dialing 1-888-989-4720 (confirmation number 4852094) or by visiting MPC’s website at
