Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

We are a leading, integrated, downstream energy company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. We operate the nation's largest refining system. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market and to independent entrepreneurs who operate branded outlets. We also sell transportation fuel to consumers through direct dealer locations under long-term supply contracts. MPC’s midstream operations are primarily conducted through MPLX LP (“MPLX”), which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX. See Note 4.

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and disclosures derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Accounting Standards

Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements

In March 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to amend certain provisions of ASC 842 that apply to arrangements between related parties under common control. The ASU amends the accounting for the amortization period of leasehold improvements in common-control leases for all entities and requires certain disclosures when the lease term is shorter than the useful life of the asset. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial disclosures.

Our investment policy includes concentration limits and credit rating requirements which limit our investments to high quality, short term and highly liquid securities.

Realized gains/losses were not material. All of our available-for-sale debt securities held as of September 30, 2023 mature within one year or less or are readily available for use.

4. Master Limited Partnership

We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX, which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner interest and, as of September 30, 2023, we owned approximately 65 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.

Unit Repurchase Program

In November 2020, MPLX announced the board authorization of a unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of MPLX’s outstanding common units held by the public, which was utilized in 2022. On August 2, 2022, MPLX announced its board of directors approved a $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization. The unit repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per unit data)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Number of common units repurchased	—		6		—		10
Cash paid for common units repurchased	$	—	$	180	$	—	$	315
Average cost per unit	$	—	$	31.65	$	—	$	31.98

As of September 30, 2023, MPLX had approximately $846 million remaining under its unit repurchase authorization.

Redemption of the Series B Preferred Units

On February 15, 2023, MPLX exercised its right to redeem all of its 600,000 outstanding preferred units (the “Series B preferred units”). MPLX paid unitholders the Series B preferred unit redemption price of $1,000 per unit. The final semi-annual distribution on the Series B preferred units was paid on February 15, 2023 in the usual manner.

The excess of the total redemption price of $600 million paid to Series B preferred unitholders over the carrying value of the Series B preferred units on the redemption date resulted in a $2 million net reduction to retained earnings. The Series B preferred units were included in noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

Agreements

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to us. With certain exceptions, these agreements generally contain minimum volume commitments. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between our Refining & Marketing and Midstream segments. We also have agreements with MPLX that establish fees for operational and management services provided between us and MPLX and for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided by us to MPLX. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between corporate and our Midstream segment.

Noncontrolling Interest

As a result of equity transactions of MPLX, we are required to adjust non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital. Changes in MPC’s additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in its ownership interests in MPLX were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Decrease due to change in ownership	$	(38)	$	(67)	$	(37)	$	(117)
Tax impact	9		23		11		28
Decrease in MPC's additional paid-in capital, net of tax	$	(29)	$	(44)	$	(26)	$	(89)

5. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIE

We control MPLX through our ownership of its general partner. MPLX is a VIE because the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights over the general partner. We are the primary beneficiary of MPLX because in addition to our significant economic interest, we also have the ability, through our ownership of the general partner, to control the decisions that most significantly impact MPLX. We therefore consolidate MPLX and record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public. We also record a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to MPLX’s Series A preferred units.

The creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP LLC (“LOOP”) and LOCAP LLC (“LOCAP”), in which MPLX holds an interest. See Note 23 for more information. The assets of MPLX can only be used to settle its own obligations and its creditors have no recourse to our assets, except as noted earlier.

7. Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to MPC less income allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Since MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two-class method. Diluted income per share assumes exercise of certain share-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2023		2022		2023		2022

8. Equity

In May 2021, MPC announced the authorization of a share repurchase program of up to $7.1 billion. Subsequently, in February 2022, MPC announced a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Both these authorizations were utilized in 2022.

In August 2022, MPC announced a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization and announced additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorizations in both January 2023 and in May 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $4.31 billion remained available for repurchase under these authorizations. These share repurchase authorizations have no expiration date.

We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, tender offers, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Table of Contents

Total share repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Number of shares repurchased	20		44		71		115
Cash paid for shares repurchased	$	2,819	$	3,908	$	9,067	$	10,085
Average cost per share(a)	$	139.84	$	92.54	$	127.09	$	88.07

(a) The average cost per share for the 2023 period includes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, but does not reduce the share repurchase authorization.

The number of shares repurchased shown above and the amount remaining available under the share repurchase authorizations reflect the repurchase of 291,459 common shares for $45 million that were transacted in the third quarter of 2023 and settled in the fourth quarter of 2023.

9. Segment Information

We have two reportable segments: Refining & Marketing and Midstream. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks, including renewable feedstocks, at our refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States, purchases refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products, including renewable diesel, through transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services provided largely by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to independent entrepreneurs who operate primarily Marathon® branded outlets and through long-term fuel supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.

•Midstream – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment via refining logistics assets, pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges; gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. The Midstream segment primarily reflects the results of MPLX.

Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the performance of our segments using segment adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM is the chief executive officer. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the company by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

11. Income Taxes

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes offset by permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and foreign derived intangible income. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $2.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, a benefit related to foreign derived intangible income, offset by state taxes.

Table of Contents

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.4 billion and $3.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes offset by permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Costs of crude oil and refined products are aggregated on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing whether the LIFO cost basis of these inventories may have to be written down to market values.

13. Equity Method Investments

South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC

On August 1, 2023, MPC sold its 25 percent interest in South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC (“South Texas Gateway”) to an affiliate of Gibson Energy Inc. (“Gibson Energy”). Gibson Energy paid $1.1 billion in cash to acquire 100 percent of the membership interests of South Texas Gateway from MPC and its other members. South Texas Gateway owns an oil export facility in the U.S. Gulf Coast. MPC’s proceeds were $270 million, resulting in a gain of $106 million, which is included in the net gain on disposal of assets line of the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

LF Bioenergy Acquisition

On March 8, 2023, MPC announced the acquisition of a 49.9 percent interest in LF Bioenergy, an emerging producer of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) in the U.S., for approximately $56 million, which included funding for on-going operations and project development. LF Bioenergy has been focused on developing and growing a portfolio of dairy farm-based, low carbon intensity RNG projects.

LF Bioenergy is a VIE since it is unable to fund its operations without financial support from its equity owners. We are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the ability to control the activities that significantly influence the economic outcomes of the entity and, therefore, do not consolidate the entity. MPC accounts for our ownership interest in LF Bioenergy as an equity method investment.

Martinez Renewables LLC

On September 21, 2022, MPC closed on the formation of the Martinez Renewables LLC joint venture. MPC contributed property, plant and equipment, inventory, and working capital with an estimated fair value of $1.471 billion and Neste contributed $728 million in cash. MPC recorded a gain of $549 million resulting from the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the contributed property, plant and equipment and inventory. Subsequent to the closing, the joint venture paid a special distribution to MPC of $500 million, which is reflected as a return of capital in MPC’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

MPC determined that, as of the closing date, Martinez Renewables LLC is a VIE because the entity does not have sufficient equity to complete the modification of the plant to produce renewable fuels without additional financial support from its owners. We are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the ability to control the activities that significantly influence the economic outcomes of the entity and, therefore, apply the equity method of accounting with the respect to our investment in the entity.

Watson Cogeneration Company

On June 1, 2022, MPC purchased the remaining 49 percent interest in Watson Cogeneration Company from NRG Energy, Inc. for approximately $59 million. This entity is now consolidated and included in our consolidated results. It was previously accounted for as an equity method investment.

The excess of the $62 million fair value over the $25 million book value of our 51 percent ownership interest in Watson Cogeneration Company resulted in a $37 million gain, which is included in the net gain on disposal of assets line of the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

15. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Values—Recurring

The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by fair value hierarchy level. We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the following tables.

(a)Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of September 30, 2023, cash collateral of $34 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, cash collateral of $58 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.

(b)We have no derivative contracts which are subject to master netting arrangements reflected gross on the balance sheet.

Level 2 instruments include over-the-counter fixed swaps to mitigate the price risk from MPLX’s sales of propane. The swap valuations are based on observable inputs in the form of forward prices based on Mont Belvieu propane forward spot prices and contain no significant unobservable inputs.

Level 3 instruments relate to an embedded derivative liability for a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep‑whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments at September 30, 2023 used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.61 to $1.66 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.79 per gallon and (2) the probability of renewal of 100 percent for the five-year term of the natural gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability.

Table of Contents

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances recorded for net liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Values – Reported

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments and the expected insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying and fair values of our debt were approximately $26.9 billion and $23.7 billion at September 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $26.3 billion and $24.0 billion at December 31, 2022, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt exclude the unamortized issuance costs which are netted against our total debt.

16. Derivatives

For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 15. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil, (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products, (5) the sale of NGLs, (6) the purchase of natural gas, (7) the purchase of soybean oil and (8) the sale of propane.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the line items in the consolidated balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets.

MPLX Senior Notes

On February 9, 2023, MPLX issued $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a public offering, consisting of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.00 percent senior notes due March 2033 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.65 percent senior notes due March 2053. On February 15, 2023, MPLX used $600 million of the net proceeds to redeem all of its outstanding Series B preferred units. On March 13, 2023, MPLX used the remaining proceeds to redeem all of MPLX’s and MarkWest’s $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.50 percent senior notes due July 2023. The redemption resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9 million due to the immediate expense recognition of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

23. Commitments and Contingencies

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which we have not recorded a liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Table of Contents

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $373 million and $387 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, were $5 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Governmental and other entities in various states have filed climate-related lawsuits against numerous energy companies, including MPC. The lawsuits allege damages as a result of climate change and the plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. We are currently subject to such proceedings in federal or state courts in California, Delaware, Maryland, Hawaii, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Oregon. Similar lawsuits may be filed in other jurisdictions. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters remains uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined.

We are involved in a number of environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other Legal Proceedings

In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. After subsequent appeal proceedings and in compliance with a new order issued by the BIA, in December 2020, THPP paid approximately $4 million in assessed trespass damages and ceased use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. In March 2021, the BIA issued an order purporting to vacate the BIA’s prior orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass and direct the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order. In April 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (together, the “U.S. Government Parties”) challenging the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass. On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer and counterclaims to THPP’s suit claiming THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seeking disgorgement of pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims.

We are also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.

Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees

LOOP and LOCAP

MPC and MPLX hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and MPLX holds an interest in a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, MPC, as a shipper, is required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements varies but tend to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2037. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $171 million as of September 30, 2023.

Dakota Access Pipeline

MPLX holds a 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”),

Table of Contents

which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued.

In May 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared. In June 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. The pipeline remains operational.

MPLX has entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby it, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system. If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the 1 percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million.

Crowley Blue Water Partners LLC

In connection with our 50 percent indirect interest in Crowley Blue Water Partners LLC, we have agreed to provide a conditional guarantee of up to 50 percent of its outstanding debt balance in the event there is no charter agreement in place with an investment grade customer for the entity’s three vessels as well as other financial support in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this arrangement were $94 million.

Other guarantees

We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $188 million as of September 30, 2023, which primarily consist of a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events in lieu of procuring insurance coverage, a commitment to fund a share of the bonds issued by a government entity for construction of public utilities in the event that other industrial users of the facility default on their utility payments, a commitment to pay a termination fee on a supply agreement if terminated during the initial term, a commitment to pay a purchase price note issued by an equity method investee in connection with a land purchase agreement in the event our equity method investee is unable to pay the note when due, and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require us to construct natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producer customers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements with us if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure.

24. Subsequent Events

Additional $5 Billion Share Repurchase Authorization

On October 25, 2023, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The authorization has no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business Update

Our results through the first nine months of 2023, as compared to the first nine months of 2022, were impacted by market prices and seasonal market fluctuations; however, the demand environment in which our business operates remains strong. Refined product markets continue to experience impacts from refinery closures and disruptions resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We are unable to predict the potential effects that the continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions or market disruptions, may have on our financial position and results. It remains uncertain how long these conditions may last or how severe they may become.

In March 2023, the California legislature adopted Senate Bill No. 2 (such statute, together with any regulations contemplated or issued thereunder, “SBx1-2”), which authorizes the California Energy Commission (“CEC”) to establish a “maximum gross gasoline refining margin” with respect to refining activities in California, as well as establish fees for refiners for exceeding the yet to be issued margin cap. The law further expands on existing reporting requirements for refiners to the CEC. It is uncertain whether, or when, the CEC will establish a maximum gross gasoline refining margin and impose associated fees. We will evaluate the impact that SBx1-2 and any associated forthcoming CEC regulations may have on our current or anticipated future operations in California and results of operations when the regulations have been promulgated.

Garyville Tank Farm Incident

In August 2023, a naphtha release and resulting fire occurred at our Garyville Tank Farm, resulting in the loss of four storage tanks with a combined shell capacity of 894 thousand barrels. We incurred $63 million of incident response costs. We are pursuing recovery of property damage and incident response costs under the relevant insurance policies, although there can be no assurance as to the amount of recovery, if any.

Galveston Bay Incident

On May 15, 2023, a fire occurred in an isolated area of one of Galveston Bay refinery’s catalytic reformers. As a result, this unit has been out of service, which resulted in crude throughput reduction and impacted product yield optimization. We continue to work with our insurance carriers regarding claims related to this incident.

South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC

LF Bioenergy Acquisition

On March 8, 2023, MPC announced the acquisition of a 49.9 percent equity interest in LF Bioenergy, an emerging producer of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) in the U.S., for approximately $56 million, which included funding for on-going operations and project development. LF Bioenergy has been focused on developing and growing a portfolio of dairy farm-based, low carbon intensity RNG projects. Current projects are under various stages of development, with the first facility reaching full commercial operation in the first half of 2023. LF Bioenergy's management and origination teams continue to expand the portfolio with additional sanctioned projects while progressing their existing pipeline of opportunities toward final investment decisions. As specific project milestones are achieved, MPC is expected to fund its share of capital expenditures to build out the portfolio.

Martinez Renewables LLC (“Martinez Renewables”) Joint Venture

The Martinez Renewables facility reached full Phase I production capacity of 260 million gallons per year of renewable fuels during the first quarter of 2023. Pretreatment capabilities are increasing through the second half of 2023, and the facility is expected to produce 730 million gallons per year by the end of 2023.

Share Repurchase Authorization

On May 2, 2023, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization in addition to the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization announced on January 31, 2023. Future repurchases under these authorizations will depend on the macro environment, cash available after opportunities for capital investment and growth of the business and market conditions. The share repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. As of September 30, 2023, MPC had $4.31 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorizations.

See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

Succession Planning

As previously disclosed, MPC maintains a mandatory retirement policy that, absent a waiver or extension, requires an executive officer to retire from service to the company coincident with, or immediately following, the first of the month after such executive officer reaches age 65 (the "Policy"). Michael J. Hennigan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, will reach mandatory retirement on August 1, 2024. Accordingly, the MPC Board of Directors, with a focus on the long-term strategic direction of the company, is engaged in appropriate succession planning activities, which are expected to include, among other customary steps, the review of succession candidates, as well as consideration of any waiver or extension of the Policy respecting Mr. Hennigan.

OVERVIEW OF SEGMENTS

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA depends largely on our refinery throughput, Refining & Marketing margin, refining operating costs and distribution costs.

Refining & Marketing margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of products purchased for resale. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil, commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same direction as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. The following are used for these crack spread calculations:

•The Gulf Coast crack spread uses three barrels of MEH crude producing two barrels of USGC CBOB gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD;

•The Mid-Continent crack spread uses three barrels of WTI crude producing two barrels of Chicago CBOB gasoline and one barrel of Chicago ULSD; and

•The West Coast crack spread uses three barrels of ANS crude producing two barrels of LA CARBOB and one barrel of LA CARB Diesel.

Our refineries can process significant amounts of sweet and sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to crude oil referenced in our Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads. The amount of these discounts, which we refer to as the sweet differential and sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing margin to differ from blended crack spreads. In general, larger sweet and sour differentials will enhance our Refining & Marketing margin.

Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors, as well as U.S. energy policy.

The following table provides sensitivities showing an estimated change in annual Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA due to potential changes in market conditions.


(Millions of dollars)
Blended crack spread sensitivity(a) (per $1.00/barrel change)	$	1,080
Sour differential sensitivity(b) (per $1.00/barrel change)	500
Sweet differential sensitivity(c) (per $1.00/barrel change)	500
Natural gas price sensitivity(d) (per $1.00/MMBtu)	310

(a)Crack spread based on 40 percent MEH, 40 percent WTI and 20 percent ANS with Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast product pricing, respectively, and assumes all other differentials and pricing relationships remain unchanged.

(b)Sour crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: ANS, Argus Sour Crude Index, Maya and Western Canadian Select. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2023 will be sour crude.

(c)Sweet crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: Bakken, Brent, MEH, WTI-Cushing and WTI-Midland. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2023 will be sweet crude.

(d)This is consumption-based exposure for our Refining & Marketing segment and does not include the sales exposure for our Midstream segment.

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sour differential and the sweet differential, our Refining & Marketing margin is impacted by factors such as:

•the selling prices realized for refined products;

•the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;

•our refinery yields;

•the cost of products purchased for resale;

•the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk;

Table of Contents

•the potential impact of lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories in periods of declining prices;

•the potential impact of LIFO charges due to changes in historic inventory levels; and

•the cost of purchasing RINs in the open market to comply with RFS2 requirements.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA is also affected by changes in refinery operating costs in addition to committed distribution costs. Changes in operating costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Distribution costs primarily include long-term agreements with MPLX, which as discussed below include minimum commitments to MPLX, and will negatively impact segment adjusted EBITDA in periods when throughput or sales are lower or refineries are idled.

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to our Refining & Marketing segment. Certain of these agreements include commitments for minimum quarterly throughput and distribution volumes of crude oil and refined products and minimum storage volumes of crude oil, refined products and other products. Certain other agreements include commitments to pay for 100 percent of available capacity for certain marine transportation and refining logistics assets.

Midstream

Our Midstream segment gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products, principally for our Refining & Marketing segment. Additionally, the segment markets refined products. The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. The profitability of our marine operations primarily depends on the quantity and availability of our vessels and barges. The profitability of our light product terminal operations primarily depends on the throughput volumes at these terminals. The profitability of our fuels distribution services primarily depends on the sales volumes of certain refined products. The profitability of our refining logistics operations depends on the quantity and availability of our refining logistics assets. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our pipelines and marine vessels and the refined product throughput at our terminals serve our Refining & Marketing segment and our refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services are used solely by our Refining & Marketing segment. As discussed above in the Refining & Marketing section, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements related to services provided to our Refining & Marketing segment. Under these agreements, MPLX has received various commitments of minimum throughput, storage and distribution volumes as well as commitments to pay for all available capacity of certain assets. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines, terminals and marine operations. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport, store, distribute and market is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines and marine operations. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Our Midstream segment also gathers, processes and transports natural gas and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. NGL and natural gas prices are volatile and are impacted by changes in fundamental supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty, availability of NGL transportation and fractionation capacity and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Our Midstream segment profitability is affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of processing or conditioning at our own or third‑party processing plants, purchasing and selling or gathering and transporting volumes of natural gas at index‑related prices and the cost of third‑party transportation and fractionation services. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of natural gas drilling by our producer customers, such prices also affect profitability.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Third Quarter 2022

Net income attributable to MPC decreased $1.20 billion in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower Refining & Marketing margins and net gain on disposal of assets.

Revenues and other income decreased $5.65 billion primarily due to:

•decreased sales and other operating revenues of $4.87 billion primarily due to decreased Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $0.37 per gallon, partially offset by increased refined product sales volumes of 9 mbpd;

•decreased net gain on disposal of assets of $941 million primarily due to the gain of $549 million on the formation of the Martinez Renewables joint venture and the gain of $509 million on a lease reclassification in the three months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by the $106 million gain on the sale of MPC's 25 percent interest in South Texas Gateway to Gibson Energy on August 1, 2023; and

•increased other income of $122 million largely due to insurance proceeds received and higher income on RIN sales.

Costs and expenses decreased $3.72 billion primarily due to:

•decreased cost of revenues of $3.89 billion mainly due to lower crude oil costs;

•increased depreciation and amortization of $51 million largely due to asset retirement obligations related to a non-operating refining facility and assets placed in service; and

•increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $112 million primarily due to increased employee benefit and contract services expenses.

Net interest and other financial costs decreased $122 million largely due to increased interest income on short-term investments.

Table of Contents

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes offset by permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and foreign derived intangible income. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $1.43 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes offset by permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $194 million primarily due to a decrease in MPLX’s net income in the third quarter of 2023.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net income attributable to MPC decreased $2.97 billion in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022 primarily due to lower Refining & Marketing margins and net gain on disposal of assets.

Revenues and other income decreased $26.38 billion primarily due to:

•decreased sales and other operating revenues of $25.52 billion primarily due to decreased Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $0.58 per gallon, partially offset by increased refined product sales volumes of 10 mbpd;

•increased income from equity method investments of $78 million largely due to increased income from Midstream equity affiliates, partially offset by decreased income from Refining & Marketing equity affiliates;

•decreased net gain on disposal of assets of $946 million primarily due to the gain of $549 million on the formation of the Martinez Renewables joint venture and the gain of $509 million on a lease reclassification in the three months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by the $106 million gain on the sale of MPC's 25 percent interest in South Texas Gateway to Gibson Energy on August 1, 2023; and

•increased other income of $9 million primarily due to insurance proceeds received offset by lower income on RIN sales.

Costs and expenses decreased $21.76 billion primarily due to:

•decreased cost of revenues of $22.11 billion primarily due to lower crude oil costs;

•increased depreciation and amortization of $61 million mainly due to asset retirement obligations related to a non-operating refining facility and assets placed in service;

•increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $210 million largely due to increased employee compensation and related expenses, employee benefit costs and contract services costs; and

•increased other taxes of $77 million primarily due to the reinstated Petroleum Superfund Tax which was effective January 1, 2023.

Net interest and other financial costs decreased $400 million largely due to increased interest income, primarily on short-term investments, and decreased pension non-service costs, partially offset by increased interest expense due to higher MPLX borrowings.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax expense of $2.41 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, a benefit related to foreign derived intangible income, offset by state taxes. We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax expense of $3.51 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes offset by permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $155 million primarily due to a decrease in MPLX’s net income in the first nine months of 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Third Quarter 2022

Refining & Marketing segment revenues decreased $4.71 billion primarily due to decreased average refined product sales prices of $0.37 per gallon, partially offset by increased refined product sales volumes of 9 mbpd.

Net refinery throughput decreased 48 mbpd during the third quarter of 2023.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.12 billion primarily due to decreases in per barrel margins and throughput and increased distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, partially offset by decreased refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $16.06 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023, versus $19.87 per barrel for the third quarter of 2022.

Refining & Marketing margin, excluding LIFO inventory charge, was $26.16 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $30.31 per barrel for the third quarter of 2022. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by our performance against the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net negative impact of approximately $1 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to narrower Mid-Continent crack spreads. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, the effect of market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, the effect of RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances, fuel margin from sales to direct dealers and, for the third quarter of 2022, a LIFO inventory charge of $28 million. These factors had an estimated net negative effect of approximately $200 million on Refining & Marketing segment income in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $157 million, or $0.49 per barrel, largely due to lower energy costs.

Table of Contents

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $125 million, or $0.54 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX of $975 million and $923 million for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher pipeline tariff rates and logistics fee escalations.

Refining planned turnaround costs decreased $231 million, or $0.83 per barrel, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.

Depreciation and amortization increased $4 million, or $0.04 per barrel.

We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our RFS2 compliance. Our expenses associated with purchased RINs were $561 million and $761 million, net of benefits related to retroactive changes in renewable volume obligation requirements, in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The RINs expense is included in Refining & Marketing margin. The decrease in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to lower obligated volume, increased RINs generated and acquired from our Martinez Renewables joint venture and lower RIN prices.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Refining & Marketing segment revenues decreased $25.01 billion primarily due to decreased average refined product sales prices of $0.58 per gallon, partially offset by increased refined product sales volumes of 10 mbpd.

Net refinery throughput decreased 62 mbpd in the first nine months of 2023.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.24 billion primarily driven by decreases in per barrel margins and throughput and increased distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, partially offset by decreased refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $14.35 per barrel for the first nine months of 2023, versus $18.04 per barrel for the first nine months of 2022.

Refining & Marketing margin, excluding LIFO inventory charge, was $24.80 per barrel for the first nine months of 2023 compared to $28.08 per barrel for the first nine months of 2022. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net negative impact of approximately $3 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to narrower crack spreads. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances, fuel margin from sales to direct dealers and, for the first nine months of 2022, a LIFO inventory charge of $28 million. These factors had an estimated net positive effect of approximately $400 million on Refining & Marketing segment income in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $114 million, or $0.03 per barrel, largely due to lower energy costs, partially offset by project expense associated with higher turnaround activity.

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $290 million for the first nine months of 2023, or $0.47 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX of $2.86 billion and $2.73 billion for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher pipeline tariff rates and logistics fee escalations.

Refining planned turnaround costs increased $222 million, or $0.30 per barrel, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.

Depreciation and amortization increased $16 million, or $0.06 per barrel.

We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our RFS2 compliance. Our expenses associated with purchased RINs were $1.72 billion and $2.06 billion, net of benefits related to retroactive changes in renewable volume obligation requirements, in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The RINs expense is included in Refining & Marketing margin. The decrease in the first nine months of 2023, was primarily due to increased RINs acquired with purchased product from third parties and through RINs generated and acquired from our Martinez Renewables joint venture.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Third Quarter 2022

In the third quarter of 2023, Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA increased $41 million. Sales and operating revenues decreased $32 million mainly due to lower NGL prices, partially offset by rate escalations and higher throughput. This decrease was more than offset by lower purchased product costs of $66 million, primarily due to lower NGL prices of $276 million, partially offset by higher NGL volumes of $157 million, a change of $53 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment and an increase in income from equity method investments of $32 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA increased $244 million in the first nine months of 2023. Sales and operating revenues decreased $262 million mainly due to lower NGL prices, partially offset by rate escalations and higher throughput. This decrease was more than offset by lower purchased product costs of $436 million, primarily due to lower NGL prices of $826 million, partially offset by higher volumes of $329 million, a change of $61 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment and an increase in income from equity method investments of $112 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management uses a financial measure to evaluate our operating performance that is calculated and presented on the basis of a methodology other than in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure we use is as follows:

Refining & Marketing Margin

Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is used to evaluate our Refining & Marketing segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, Refining & Marketing gross margin or other 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $8.45 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $8.63 billion at December 31, 2022. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are presented in the following table.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operations increased $971 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022. The change in net cash provided by continuing operations is primarily due to a favorable change in working capital of $2.63 billion, when comparing the change in working capital in both periods, partially offset by a decrease in operating results.

Table of Contents

For the first nine months of 2023, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.37 billion source of cash primarily due to the effects of decreasing energy commodity volumes and increasing prices at the end of the period on working capital. Current receivables decreased primarily due to a decrease in crude oil volumes. Accounts payable increased primarily due to an increase in crude oil prices, partially offset by a decrease in crude oil volumes. Inventories increased primarily due to increases in refined product and crude oil inventory volumes.

For the first nine months of 2022, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.27 billion use of cash primarily due to the effects of increasing energy commodity prices at the end of the period on working capital. Accounts payable increased primarily due to an increase in crude prices, partially offset by a decrease in crude volumes. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in refined product prices and volumes and crude prices, partially offset by a decrease in crude volumes. Inventories increased primarily due to increases in crude and refined product inventories.

Net cash used in discontinued operations reflects the results of the Speedway business. The $44 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2022 represents payment of state income tax liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.13 billion in the first nine months of 2023 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.12 billion in the first nine months of 2022.

•Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2023 is primarily due to purchases of short-term investments of $7.14 billion, partially offset by maturities and sales of short-term investments of $3.90 billion and $1.87 billion, respectively.

Net cash provided by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was primarily due to maturities and sales of short-term investments of $4.40 billion and $1.14 billion, respectively, partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $3.74 billion.

•Additions to property, plant and equipment decreased $336 million. See the “Capital Requirements” section for additional information on our capital investment plan.

•Cash used for acquisitions of $74 million in the first nine months of 2022 included acquisitions in our Refining & Marketing and Midstream segments.

•Cash used in net investments was $92 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared to cash provided of $296 million for the first nine months of 2022. In 2023, investments primarily included the Martinez Renewables joint venture and the acquisition of a 49.9 percent equity interest in LF Bioenergy for approximately $56 million, partially offset by cash received from the sale of MPC’s 25 percent interest in South Texas Gateway. In 2022, MPC received a $500 million cash distribution from the Martinez Renewables joint venture, partially offset by increased MPLX contributions to equity method investments, which included a $60 million contribution to its Bakken Pipeline joint venture to fund its share of a debt repayment by the joint venture.

The consolidated statements of cash flows exclude changes to the consolidated balance sheets that did not affect cash. A reconciliation of additions to property, plant and equipment per the consolidated statements of cash flows to reported total capital expenditures and investments follows.

Derivative Instruments

See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for a discussion of derivative instruments and associated market risk.

Capital Resources

MPC, Excluding MPLX

We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner; however, the creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP and LOCAP, in which MPLX holds an interest. Therefore, in the following table, we present the liquidity of MPC, excluding MPLX. MPLX liquidity is discussed in the following section.

Our liquidity, excluding MPLX, totaled $17.20 billion at September 30, 2023 consisting of:


	September 30, 2023
(Millions of dollars)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Outstanding Letters of Credit		Available Capacity
Bank revolving credit facility	$	5,000	$	—	$	1	$	4,999
Trade receivables facility(a)	100		—		—		100
Total	$	5,100	$	—	$	1	$	5,099
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments(b)							12,096
Total liquidity							$	17,195

(a)The committed borrowing and letter of credit issuance capacity under the trade receivables securitization facility is $100 million. In addition, the facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit in excess of the committed capacity at the discretion of the issuing banks. In September 2023, the trade receivables securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend its term until September 30, 2024.

(b)Excludes cash and cash equivalents of MPLX of $960 million.

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets and a commercial paper program, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

We have a commercial paper program that allows us to have a maximum of $2.0 billion in commercial paper outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

MPC’s five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of July 7, 2022 (the ”MPC Credit Agreement”), and trade receivables facility contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of these types. The financial covenant included in the MPC Credit Agreement requires us to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the MPC Credit Agreement) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the MPC Credit Agreement and our trade receivables facility, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization of 0.00 to 1.00.

Table of Contents

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of September 30, 2023, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt are as follows.


Company	Rating Agency	Rating
MPC	Moody’s	Baa2 (stable outlook)
	Standard & Poor’s	BBB (stable outlook)
	Fitch	BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The MPC Credit Agreement does not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable thereunder and may limit our flexibility to obtain financing in the future, including to refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment-grade levels could, under certain circumstances, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit under existing transportation services or other agreements.

See Note 17 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

MPLX

MPLX’s liquidity totaled $4.46 billion at September 30, 2023 consisting of:


	September 30, 2023
(Millions of dollars)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Outstanding Letters of Credit		Available Capacity
MPLX LP - bank revolving credit facility(a)	$	2,000	$	—	$	—	$	2,000

Total	$	3,500	$	—	$	—	$	3,500
Cash and cash equivalents							960
Total liquidity							$	4,460

(a) Outstanding borrowings include less than $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

MPLX’s five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of July 7, 2022 (the “MPLX Credit Agreement”) contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The financial covenant requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other covenants restrict MPLX and/or certain of its subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2023, MPLX was in compliance with the covenants, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.4 to 1.0.

Table of Contents

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile for MPLX. As of September 30, 2023, the credit ratings on MPLX’s senior unsecured debt are as follows.


Company	Rating Agency	Rating
MPLX	Moody’s	Baa2 (stable outlook)
	Standard & Poor’s	BBB (stable outlook)
	Fitch	BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold MPLX securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating for MPLX, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing MPLX’s debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that MPLX credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of MPLX senior unsecured debt to below investment grade ratings could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements. In addition, a downgrade of MPLX senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment-grade levels may limit MPLX’s ability to obtain future financing, including to refinance existing indebtedness.

See Note 17 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of MPLX’s debt.

Capital Requirements

Capital Investment Plan

MPC's capital investment plan for 2023 totals approximately $1.3 billion for capital projects and investments, excluding capitalized interest, potential acquisitions and MPLX’s capital investment plan. MPC’s capital investment plan includes all of the planned capital spending for Refining & Marketing and Corporate, as well as a portion of the planned capital investments for Midstream. The remainder of the planned capital spending for Midstream reflects the capital investment plan for MPLX, which totals $950 million, excluding reimbursable capital. We continuously evaluate our capital investment plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Capital expenditures and investments for MPC and MPLX are summarized below.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Capital expenditures and investments:(a)
MPC, excluding MPLX
Refining & Marketing	$	919	$	1,004

Corporate and Other(b)	64		87
Total MPC, excluding MPLX	$	984	$	1,098

Midstream - MPLX	$	747	$	765

(a) Capital expenditures include changes in capital accruals.

(b) Excludes capitalized interest of $43 million and $76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily for Refining & Marketing and Midstream projects. Major Refining & Marketing projects include renewables projects, primarily the Martinez facility conversion and an emissions reduction program at our Los Angeles refinery, the STAR project, which commenced operations, and projects that we expect will help us reduce future operating costs and improve the competitive position of our assets.

Major Midstream projects were primarily for MPLX for gas processing plants and gathering projects in the Marcellus and Permian basins, as well as additions to MPLX’s brown water marine fleet.

On May 2, 2023, we announced that our board of directors approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization in addition to the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization announced on January 31, 2023. The authorizations have no expiration date.

Total share repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Number of shares repurchased	20		44		71		115
Cash paid for shares repurchased	$	2,819	$	3,908	$	9,067	$	10,085
Average cost per share(a)	$	139.84	$	92.54	$	127.09	$	88.07

From January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2023, our board of directors had approved $45.05 billion in total share repurchase authorizations and we repurchased a total of $40.74 billion of our common stock. As of September 30, 2023, MPC has $4.31 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorizations, which reflects the repurchase of 291,459 common shares for $45 million that were transacted in the third quarter of 2023 and settled in the fourth quarter of 2023.

See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

MPLX Unit Repurchases

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per unit data)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Number of common units repurchased	—		6		—		10
Cash paid for common units repurchased	$	—	$	180	$	—	$	315
Average cost per unit	$	—	$	31.65	$	—	$	31.98

As of September 30, 2023, approximately $846 million remained available under the authorization for future unit repurchases.

MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, tender offers, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

Cash Commitments

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2023, our purchase commitments primarily consist of obligations to purchase and transport crude oil used in our refining operations. During the first nine months of 2023, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2022.

Our other contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and pension and post-retirement obligations, for which additional information is included in Notes 17 and 22, respectively, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and financing and operating leases.

Other Cash Commitments

On October 25, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.825 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable December 11, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made a $258 million contribution to our funded pension plans. We have no required funding for 2023, but may make additional voluntary contributions at our discretion depending on the anticipated funding status and plan asset performance.

We may, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes in the open market, in tender offers, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, actual expenditures may vary as the number and scope of environmental projects are revised as a result of improved technology or changes in regulatory requirements.

There have been no additional significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

As of September 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

We have not identified any recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For a detailed discussion of our risk management strategies and our derivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

See Notes 15 and 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The following table includes the composition of net losses on our commodity derivative positions as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2023		2022
Realized loss on settled derivative positions	$	(24)	$	(217)
Unrealized gain (loss) on open net derivative positions	(33)		153
Net loss	$	(57)	$	(64)

See Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on our open derivative positions at September 30, 2023.

Sensitivity analysis of the effects on income from operations (“IFO”) of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 is provided in the following table.

Table of Contents


	Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Increase of				Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Decrease of
(Millions of dollars)	10%		25%		10%		25%
As of September 30, 2023
Crude	$	(90)	$	(226)	$	90	$	226
Refined products	(20)		(49)		20		49
Blending products	(20)		(50)		20		50
Soybean oil	(7)		(17)		7		17

We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.

We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after September 30, 2023 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt, including the portion classified as current and excluding finance leases, as of September 30, 2023 is provided in the following table. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and, in addition to short-term investments which are recorded at fair value, are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.


(Millions of dollars)	Fair Value as of September 30, 2023(a)		Change in Fair Value(b)		Change in Net Income for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023(c)
Long-term debt
Fixed-rate	$	23,943	$	1,796	n/a
Variable-rate	—		—		—

(a)Fair value was based on market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates for financings with similar terms and maturities.

(b)Assumes a 100-basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at September 30, 2023.

(c)Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to net income was based on the weighted average balance of debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2023, our long-term debt was composed of fixed-rate instruments. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of our variable-rate debt, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of our debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than a specified threshold of $1 million for this purpose.

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the legal matters previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 or for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Dakota Access Pipeline

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, MPLX holds a 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued.

MPLX has entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby it, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system. If the vacatur of the easement results in temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the 1 percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million.

Martinez Refinery

On October 20, 2023, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, received an offer to settle 59 Notices of Violation (“NOVs”) received from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The NOVs were issued for alleged violations of air quality regulations at our Martinez refinery between June 2018 and May 2022. We cannot currently estimate the timing of the resolution of this matter but do not believe any civil penalty will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Edwardsville Incident

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, in March 2022, the State of Illinois brought an action in Madison County Circuit Court in Illinois against Marathon Pipe Line LLC (“MPL”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX, asserting various violations and demanding a permanent injunction and civil penalties in connection with a release of crude oil on the Wood River to Patoka 22" line near Edwardsville, Illinois in March 2022. In September 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice and EPA confirmed they will be pursuing federal enforcement for alleged Clean Water Act violations arising from this incident as well as other pipeline releases. We cannot currently estimate the amount of any civil penalty or the

timing of the resolution of this matter but do not believe any civil penalty will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
