Effective January 12, 2026, Delek US senior management began using a new investor presentation to update current and prospective shareholders on its financial outlook, free cash flow profile and capital allocation priorities. The materials highlight the company’s Enterprise Optimization Plan, which is expected to add at least $180 million in annual cash flow, supported by more than $150 million in annual distributions from Delek Logistics and an amended Inventory Intermediation Agreement that is projected to improve working capital efficiency and generate an additional $30 million to $50 million of free cash flow. The presentation underscores that Delek has outpaced its U.S. refining peer group in total shareholder returns over the twelve months from the fourth quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025, while outlining 2026 guidance that includes $200 million to $220 million of maintenance and reliability capital spending and a major turnaround at its Big Spring refinery in the first quarter of 2026 aimed at enhancing reliability, optimizing crude slate, improving product yields and enabling higher-octane blending, all of which are intended to support margin improvement and sustained cash generation.
