The Company reported Net income (loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $54.5 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $(30.4) million, or $(0.57) per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2025. First quarter 2026 Adjusted Net income (loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $38.5 million, compared to $(50.3) million in the first quarter of 2025. First quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA was $91.5 million, compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this news release.
“Our continued focus on reliability and commercial performance through market cycles enabled strong first quarter results,” said Will Monteleone, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During April, the Hawaii renewable fuels facility successfully achieved commercial operations, a major milestone for the project. Our outlook is strong and we are well positioned to capitalize on the elevated margin environment across our system.”
Refining
The Refining segment reported operating income of $56.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $(24.7) million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Refining segment was $185.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $104.3 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Refining segment Adjusted EBITDA was $69.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $(14.3) million in the first quarter of 2025. Refining segment throughput was 184 thousand barrels per day (Mbpd) for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 176 Mbpd for the first quarter of 2025.
Hawaii
The Hawaii Index averaged $31.11 per barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $8.13 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025. Throughput in the first quarter of 2026 was 90 Mbpd, compared to 79 Mbpd for the same quarter in 2025. Production costs were $4.67 per throughput barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.81 per throughput barrel in the same period of 2025.
The Hawaii refinery’s Adjusted Gross Margin was $13.10 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, including a net price lag impact of approximately $(125.5) million, or $(15.52) per barrel, compared to $8.90 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025.
The net price lag impact reflects the Hawaii refinery’s contractual sales volumes that are structured on prior month and prior week average pricing. The first quarter 2026 net price lag impact was driven by rapidly rising refined product prices, resulting in adjusted gross margin lagging current period market conditions. We expect this net price lag impact to reverse during a declining refined product price environment.
Montana
The Montana Index averaged $4.84 per barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $7.07 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025. The Montana refinery’s throughput in the first quarter of 2026 was 57 Mbpd, compared to 52 Mbpd for the same quarter in 2025. Production costs were $9.05 per throughput barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $10.56 per throughput barrel in the same period of 2025.
The Montana refinery’s Adjusted Gross Margin was $6.93 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, compared to $5.04 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025.
Washington
The Washington Index averaged $8.20 per barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.15 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025. The Washington refinery’s throughput was 23 Mbpd in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 39 Mbpd in the first quarter of 2025. Production costs were $7.53 per throughput barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.16 per throughput barrel in the same period of 2025.

| (1) | We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Total Refining Segment Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel is presented net of intercompany profit in inventory of $0.50 per barrel and $0.08 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively, which represents margin on intercompany sales where the inventory remains on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at period end. | |
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures and forecasts to evaluate our operating performance and allocate resources that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and forecasts to allocate resources and evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Operating expense includes certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information technology, and legal costs that are not directly attributable to specific operating segments. The criteria used to determine the allocation of these expenses generally reflect the time and resources required to provide the applicable service to other internal stakeholders. Remaining expenses are included in the reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated pre-tax income (loss) as unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses.
Management, including the CODM, uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow management and investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders excludes the portion of non-GAAP adjustments associated with the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture established on October 21, 2025. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA by segment also excludes other operating gains and losses (which primarily includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities). This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding non-cash gains and losses that do not reflect ongoing underlying business operations.
Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted EBITDA includes the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests associated with our joint venture established on October 21, 2025.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Operating income (loss) excluding:
- operating expense (excluding depreciation);
- depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
- Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and D&A expense from refining and logistics investments;
- impairment expense;
- other operating (gain) loss, net (which primarily includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities);
- Par's portion of accounting policy differences from refining and logistics investments;
- inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
- Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act ("Washington CCA") and Clean Fuel Standard); and
- unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders excluding:
- inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
- Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustments (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net obligation associated with the Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard);
- unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives;
- acquisition and integration costs;
- redevelopment and other costs related to Par West;
- debt extinguishment and commitment costs;
- increase in (release of) tax valuation allowance and other deferred tax items;
- changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants;
- severance costs and other non-operating expense (income);
- impairment expense;
- impairment expense associated with our investment in Laramie Energy;
- Par’s share of equity (earnings) losses from Laramie Energy, LLC, excluding cash distributions;
- Par's portion of accounting policy differences from refining and logistics investments;
- other operating (gain) loss, net (which primarily includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities); and
- noncontrolling interest impact of non GAAP adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders plus Adjusted Net Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding:
- D&A;
- interest expense and financing costs, net, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative loss (gain);
- cash distributions from Laramie Energy, LLC to Par;
- Par's portion of interest, taxes, and D&A expense from refining and logistics investments; and
- income tax expense (benefit) excluding the increase in (release of) tax valuation allowance.
