Martinez Restart Imminent
Construction completion this weekend with handoff to operations next week; methodical restart underway and expected to be fully operational in early March. Management emphasized industry-top quartile safety performance during rebuild and expects Martinez to contribute to a tighter California product market once online.
Fourth Quarter Financial Results (ex. special items)
Adjusted net income of $0.49 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $258,000,000 for Q4. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $367,000,000 (included an ~ $80,000,000 working capital draw related to inventory moves and falling commodity prices).
Large Insurance Recoveries Received
Received a $394,000,000 unallocated insurance payment in Q4, bringing total 2025 insurance recoveries to $894,000,000 (net of deductibles/retention). Management expects further potential interim payments as claims are finalized.
Significant RBI (Refinery Business Improvement) Savings Achieved
Achieved $230,000,000 of annualized run-rate savings in 2025 (equivalent to ~$0.50/bbl or ~$160,000,000 reduction in OpEx vs 2024 benchmark) and $70,000,000 of reduced capital/turnaround expenditures. Identified an additional $120,000,000 of run-rate savings for a total expected $350,000,000 by year-end 2026. RBI program identified >1,300 initiatives and has implemented >500 to date (~38% implemented).
Procurement and Operational Efficiency Wins
Centrally led procurement initiative expected to deliver >$35,000,000 of annual savings. Energy efficiency and turnaround discipline cited as major drivers of OpEx and CapEx savings (turnaround man-hours up ~30% while costs up ~10% year-over-year in current heavy-turnaround cycle).
Operational Leverage to Heavy/Sour Crude Differentials
PBF processes ~55–60% medium/heavy sour barrels (approx. 200,000,000 barrels/year). Management stated a $1 improvement in relevant crude differentials can equate to roughly $200,000,000 of annual benefit to the business, and widening sour differentials (Venezuela barrels & OPEC+ taper) are a material tailwind.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position
Ended Q4 with $528,000,000 cash, ~ $1,600,000,000 net debt, net debt-to-capital of 28%, and estimated liquidity of approximately $2,300,000,000 (cash + borrowing capacity under ABL at current commodity prices). Board approved regular quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share; cash dividends paid totaled $126,000,000 in 2025.
Renewable Diesel Production at SBR
St. Bernard Renewables (SBR) produced an average of 16,700 barrels per day of renewable diesel in Q4, providing a strategic hedge to RIN exposure and participation in the growing renewables market despite near-term margin headwinds.
