The earnings call showed strong financial performance with a successful turnaround execution, increased branded supply, and debt refinancing. Despite a drop in EBITDA in the Specialties Segment, the Midstream Segment saw an increase. The Q&A highlighted strong capture rates, commitment to buybacks, and positive growth strategies.

Net Income Net income attributable to HF Sinclair shareholders was $208 million, or $1.10 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $322 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to $150 million, or $0.78 per diluted share for the same period in 2024. The increase was due to higher adjusted refinery gross margins and improved financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $665 million, compared to $406 million in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by higher adjusted refinery gross margins in the West and Mid-Con regions, despite lower refined product sales volumes.
Refining Segment EBITDA Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $476 million, compared to $187 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by higher adjusted refinery gross margins, partially offset by lower refined product sales volumes due to turnaround activities.
Renewables Segment EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2 million for the second quarter, compared to $2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decline was due to lower sales volumes and margins, despite recognizing a partial benefit from the producers tax credit.

Lubricants & Specialties Segment EBITDA EBITDA was $55 million for the second quarter, compared to $97 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower base oil margins and lower sales volumes caused by turnaround activities at the Mississauga facility.

The economic environment remains challenging, and the loss of the producers tax credit year-over-year has significantly affected performance.
