The earnings call highlights strong financial performance with record revenues and low production costs. The Q&A section addressed concerns about jet versus diesel dynamics, with expected improvements. The announcement of a joint venture with Mitsubishi and ENEOS Corporation is a positive catalyst. Despite management's vague responses on RIN liability, the company's strong liquidity and strategic focus on renewables and growth projects suggest a positive outlook. The market cap suggests moderate sensitivity, leading to a predicted stock price increase of 2% to 8%.
Adjusted EBITDA $372 million, up from $170 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by strong operational performance and a $203 million gain from small refinery exemptions.
Adjusted Net Income $303 million or $5.95 per share, compared to prior periods. The increase was influenced by the small refinery exemptions and operational improvements.
Refining Segment Adjusted EBITDA $338 million, up from $108 million in the second quarter. The increase reflects strong market conditions and operational efficiency.
Retail Segment Adjusted EBITDA $22 million, slightly down from $23 million in the second quarter. However, the segment achieved record LTM retail adjusted EBITDA of $86 million, supported by strong in-store sales growth and cost control.
Logistics Segment Adjusted EBITDA $37 million, up $7 million from the second quarter, driven by higher system utilization and return to normal operations in Montana and Wyoming.
Cash Provided by Operations $219 million, including a working capital outflow of $147 million due to higher RIN inventory from small refinery exemptions. The working capital impact is expected to reverse in the coming quarters.
Gross Term Debt $642 million, with a leverage ratio of 3x LTM Retail and Logistics EBITDA, at the low end of the 3 to 4x target range.
Quarter-End Liquidity $735 million, up 14% from the prior quarter, reflecting a strong capital position.
Throughput 198,000 barrels per day, near record levels, with record low refining production costs of $6.13 per barrel.

Washington Throughput 39,000 barrels per day, with production costs of $4.31 per barrel, reflecting strong reliability and efficiency.
Wyoming Throughput 19,000 barrels per day, with production costs of $8.11 per barrel, showing normalized production costs after earlier challenges.
Montana Throughput 58,000 barrels per day, a record high, with record low production costs of $8.76 per barrel, driven by effective reliability investments and strong execution.
Hawaii SAF project: Achieved mechanical completion and startup of the pretreatment unit. Construction of remaining reactors and systems is ongoing, targeting mechanical completion by late Q4 and startup shortly thereafter.
New-to-industry store: Groundbreaking on the second new-to-industry store in the Pacific Northwest. Expanding redevelopment opportunities in Hawaii.
Retail business performance: Quarterly same-store fuel and in-store revenue increased by 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively. Improved focus on inside sales and gross margin.
Hawaii Renewables joint venture: Closed joint venture with Mitsubishi and ENEOS, receiving $100 million in proceeds.
Refining throughput: Achieved near-record throughput of 198,000 barrels per day. Record low refining production costs at $6.13 per barrel.
Montana operations: Record quarterly throughput of 58,000 barrels per day and record low production costs of $8.76 per barrel. Developed low-capital, high-return projects to enhance logistics flexibility, crude processing, and production capabilities.
Balance sheet and liquidity: Gross term debt reduced to $642 million. Liquidity increased to $735 million. Proceeds from Hawaii Renewables JV and monetization of excess RINS expected to further strengthen liquidity.

Crude Delivery Delays: In Hawaii, crude delivery delays in July impacted throughput, though partially offset by record throughput in September.
Seasonal Market Demand Conditions: Lower throughput and increased costs are anticipated in the fourth quarter due to seasonal market demand conditions.
Routine Maintenance: Routine maintenance in the fourth quarter is expected to result in lower throughput and increased costs, particularly in Montana.
Crude Unit Inefficiencies: Washington's lower Q4 throughput guidance reflects crude unit inefficiencies that will be addressed during a planned outage in Q1 2026.
Jet to Diesel Spread Volatility: In Washington, the widening discount of jet relative to diesel during the third quarter impacted margin capture.
Working Capital Outflow: A working capital outflow of $147 million occurred, primarily driven by higher RIN inventory associated with small refinery exemptions.
Seasonal Declines in Gasoline and Asphalt Netbacks: Seasonal declines in gasoline and asphalt netbacks are partially offsetting strong distillate margins in the Rockies and Pacific Northwest.
Market Outlook: Optimistic about market outlook with product margins rallying due to tight supply-demand balances and geopolitical disruptions. Fourth quarter combined index averaged $15.55 per barrel in October, up from the third quarter.
