+Added: In late June 2021, the U.S.
+Added: Supreme Court overturned the previous appeals court's ruling regarding RINs, resulting in market optimism that the stalled SRE applications from 2019, as well as new applications for 2020, may be granted, based on the published criteria.

+Added: Historically, the impact of commodity price volatility on our refining margins (as defined in our "Non-GAAP Measures" in MD&A Item 2.), specifically as it relates to the price of crude oil as compared to the price of refined products and timing differences in the movements of those prices (subject to our inventory costing methodology), as well as location differentials, may be favorable or unfavorable compared to peers.
Additionally, our refining margin profitability is impacted by regulatory factors, including the cost of RINs.
+Added: During the first half of 2021, despite improved consumer demand resulting from stabilization in cases during much of the period and across much of the country, and corresponding to the availability of vaccines, improvements in domestic refining margins have been slow.
+Added: This is largely attributable to the increasing supply from international markets where consumer demand improvement has lagged behind the U.S and, similarly, the closing of much of the U.S.
+Added: export arbitrage.
+Added: market for transportation fuels has attracted higher infusion of international supply due in part to supply disruptions in the U.S.
+Added: that occurred during the first six months of 2021.
+Added: In February 2021, the operations of many U.S.
+Added: refineries, including ours, were temporarily disrupted due to the negative effects arising out of Winter Storm Uri.
+Added: This contributed to a significant depletion of transportation fuel inventories throughout much of the country.
+Added: Additionally, in May 2021, there was a cybersecurity incident with the Colonial Pipeline which resulted in pipeline shutdowns that interrupted supply to much of the eastern U.S.
+Added: for six days, and which caused disruption for Delek primarily at our Krotz Springs refinery.
+Added: As a result of both of these events, the U.S.
+Added: market attracted higher levels of supply from international markets, which diluted price increases and associated refining margins.
+Added: Furthermore, while there have been improving crack spreads during 2021, driven largely by the improvement in domestic consumer demand and the modest economic improvement and outlook associated with stabilizing Pandemic uncertainties, the ability of U.S.
+Added: refiners to capture those improvements were significantly dampened by sharply increasing RIN prices.
+Added: As previously discussed, the RINs market was impacted by last year's judicial rulings imposing limitations on smaller refinery's abilities to qualify for the EPA's SREs under the RFS, combined with worsening environmental regulatory sentiment coming out of Washington, D.C..
+Added: These conditions were pervasive for the majority of the first half of 2021.

−Removed: Therefore, the recent judicial rulings overturning certain small refinery exemptions, as well as the new presidential administration's vocal support for faster-moving clean energy initiatives, have caused significant recent increases in RINs prices to levels not seen in many years.
−Removed: It is not possible at this time to predict with certainty what future volumes or costs may be, but given the volatile price of RINs, the cost of purchasing sufficient RINs to satisfy our obligation could have an adverse impact on our results of operations if we are unable to recover those costs in the sale price of our refined products.
−Removed: The chart below illustrates the volatility in RINs prices over several quarterly periods, beginning with the first quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021.
+Added: Furthermore, RIN prices are impacted by market expectations regarding whether the EPA may grant certain SREs.
+Added: The 2020 unfavorable SRE judicial rulings, as well as the recent changes in regulatory sentiment following the presidential administration change, have caused significant increases in RINs prices to levels not seen in many years.
+Added: Because of the volatility in RINs prices, it is not possible to predict future RINs cost with certainty, and movements in RIN prices can have significant and unanticipated adverse effects on our refining margins that are outside of our control.
