Net Income Net income attributable to HF Sinclair shareholders was $403 million or $2.15 per diluted share for Q3 2025. Adjusted net income was $459 million or $2.44 per diluted share, compared to $96 million or $0.51 per diluted share for Q3 2024. The increase was due to higher adjusted refinery gross margins and small refinery RINs waivers granted by the EPA.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2025 was $870 million, compared to $316 million in Q3 2024. This increase was driven by higher adjusted refinery gross margins in the West and Mid-Con regions, including small refinery RINs waivers.

Renewables Segment EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for the Renewables segment was negative $13 million in Q3 2025, compared to $1 million in Q3 2024. The decline was due to lower sales volumes (57 million gallons in Q3 2025 vs. 69 million gallons in Q3 2024).
