The company's earnings call reveals strong financial performance, with record EBITDA and improved guidance. Optimism about the small refinery exemption and EOP program, combined with ongoing shareholder returns, supports a positive outlook. The Q&A section further highlights management's confidence in future demand trends and strategic initiatives.

Net Loss Delek had a net loss of $106 million or negative $1.76 per share for Q2 2025. Adjusted net loss was $33 million or negative $0.56 per share. The loss was driven by operational and market conditions.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA was $170.2 million for Q2 2025, with a $141 million increase in refining due to higher margin environment and higher throughputs, and a $4 million increase in the Logistics segment.
Refining Margins Realized refining margins increased by $0.96 per barrel compared to Q2 2024, despite an $0.18 per barrel decline in the benchmark net margin. This was due to optimization efforts and improved process efficiency.
Cash Flow from Operations Cash flow provided by operations was $51 million for Q2 2025, including a $51 million inflow from timing-related working capital movements and a $30 million outflow for restructuring and other onetime charges.
Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures were $164 million in Q2 2025, with $119 million spent in the Logistics segment, including $115 million for growth projects at DKL, and $48 million for the Libby 2 gas plant.
Logistics Segment EBITDA The Logistics segment delivered approximately $120 million in adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025, a $4 million increase over the previous record achieved in Q1 2025.
Supply and Marketing Gains Supply and marketing contributed a gain of $26 million in Q2 2025, with $19 million from wholesale marketing and $7 million from supply, driven by seasonal trends and structural EOP improvements.
Dividends and Share Buybacks Approximately $16 million was paid in dividends and $13 million was spent on share buybacks in Q2 2025, reflecting a shareholder-friendly approach.
DKL growth in Midland and Delaware Basins: DKL is expanding its sour gas gathering and acid gas injection capabilities, enabling it to capitalize on growth opportunities in the Delaware Basin. Additionally, DKL is increasing its crude gathering business in both the Midland and Delaware Basins, with a material increase in volumes expected in the third quarter.
Enterprise Optimization Plan (EOP): The EOP has been successful in improving cash flow, with $30 million of improvements realized in Q2 2025. The company has increased its EOP improvement guidance to $130 million to $170 million on a run rate basis starting in the second half of 2025.
Operational performance: Record throughput was achieved at Big Spring, Krotz Springs, and across the entire system. Refining teams optimized processes, improved liquid yield recovery, and maximized production value. Realized refining margins increased by $0.96 per barrel compared to Q2 2024.
Refinery-specific performance: Tyler refinery achieved a throughput of 74,000 barrels per day with a production margin of $9.95 per barrel. El Dorado refinery had a throughput of 81,000 barrels per day and a production margin of $5.21 per barrel. Big Spring refinery achieved 76,000 barrels per day with a production margin of $9.65 per barrel. Krotz Springs refinery had a throughput of 85,000 barrels per day and a production margin of $7.59 per barrel.
Economic separation of DK and DKL: Progress was made in increasing the economic separation between DK and DKL, including the completion of intercompany agreements and a successful high-yield offering that increased DKL's liquidity to over $1 billion.
Sum of the Parts strategy: Efforts continue to unlock $400 million in third-party EBITDA at DKL to reflect in DK's share price and DKL's unit price. The strategy aims to create value for both DK shareholders and DKL unitholders.
Small Refinery Exemptions (SRE) Uncertainty: The pending SRE petitions, which are worth more than the company's current market cap, create significant uncertainty. The lack of clear policy from the EPA on SREs poses a risk to Delek's financial stability and strategic planning.
Net Loss and Financial Performance: Delek reported a net loss of $106 million for the quarter, with an adjusted net loss of $33 million. This financial underperformance could impact the company's ability to fund future projects and maintain investor confidence.
High Operating Expenses: Operating expenses are expected to increase in the third quarter due to higher throughput and the ramp-up of the new Libby 2 plant. This could strain margins and reduce profitability.
Debt Levels: Delek's net debt position remains significant, with $275 million in standalone net debt. High debt levels could limit financial flexibility and increase vulnerability to economic downturns.
Regulatory and Legal Risks: The company faces regulatory risks related to the EPA's handling of SRE petitions and compliance with RFS laws. Legal challenges or unfavorable rulings could adversely affect operations.
Economic Separation of DK and DKL: While progress has been made, the economic separation between DK and DKL is still ongoing. Delays or challenges in this process could impact financial and operational efficiency.
Enterprise Optimization Plan (EOP): Guidance increased to $130 million to $170 million on a run rate basis starting the second half of 2025. The plan aims to improve cash flow by $80 million to $120 million starting the second half of 2025 through cost reductions and structural changes in operations.
Delek Logistics (DKL) Growth: DKL is on track to meet its 2025 EBITDA guidance of $480 million to $520 million. Growth opportunities include sour gas gathering and acid gas injection capabilities in the Delaware Basin, as well as increased crude gathering in both Midland and Delaware Basins.
Third Quarter Throughput Guidance: Estimated throughput for the third quarter is 302,000 to 317,000 barrels per day across the system. Specific refinery throughput estimates include Tyler (73,000-77,000 barrels/day), El Dorado (79,000-83,000 barrels/day), Big Spring (69,000-72,000 barrels/day), and Krotz Springs (81,000-85,000 barrels/day).
Third Quarter Operating Expenses: Expected to be between $210 million and $225 million, reflecting higher throughput and ramp-up of the new Libby 2 plant at DKL.
Third Quarter G&A and D&A Expenses: G&A expenses expected to be between $52 million and $57 million. D&A expenses expected to be between $100 million and $110 million.
