The company said, “During the first quarter of 2026, the price of crude oil increased relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread widened. Geopolitical events in the Middle East and increasing supply uncertainty continued to drive volatility in crude oil prices and heavy crude differentials. Industry refining margins improved in the first quarter of 2026, impacted by industry supply outages. During 2025, the United States implemented and adjusted a variety of trade-related measures, including tariffs on certain imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Based on Imperial’s assessment of these actions and their effects to date, the company does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.”
