Business and Economic Environment Overview
−Removed: During the second quarter 2022, the domestic oil and gas industry benefited from unprecedented conditions, including continued post-Pandemic demand exacerbated by global supply constraints, which led to an extraordinary crack spread environment.
−Removed: Crude oil supply constraints have persisted for a variety of reasons, including the continued effects from Pandemic-related refinery closures as well as the continuing impact of sanctions on Russian oil exports and transportation as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War.
−Removed: These conditions have coalesced into an environment producing second quarter 2022 increases in our average benchmark crack spreads ranging from 152.3% to 274.1% compared to the second quarter of 2021, and increases ranging from 560.1% to 1,684.1% compared to the Pandemic low in the second quarter of 2020.

−Removed: This environment provides unique opportunities for those midstream and downstream companies that have successfully weathered the Pandemic.
−Removed: If downstream companies can avoid outages and maximize utilization, they are well positioned to capitalize on the record-setting or near-record crack spreads.
−Removed: Additionally, midstream companies, many of which have built-in recessionary protections as a result of minimum volume commitments on throughput and dedicated acreage agreements, are positioned to run barrels through logistics assets at higher utilization than the minimums during this period.
−Removed: Because of this favorability, well-positioned midstream and downstream players can potentially take advantage of capital markets when the timing is right.
−Removed: Likewise, strategic acquisitions in midstream can be particularly favorable, because of that built-in recessionary protection.

+Added: While refining margins have reached historical levels during the year, rising natural gas prices, supply constraints, and increased labor costs have been a headwind.
+Added: A sharp increase in inflation and increases in interest rates intended to combat inflation have resulted in an expectation of a global economic downturn and an increasingly competitive capital market environment.
+Added: In addition, a global reduction of investment in carbon intensive activities driven by climate change initiatives, has resulted in higher costs of capital for most companies in our industry.
+Added: We are continuously evaluating forward markets and have actively engaged cost and risk mitigation strategies to proactively take advantage of opportunities through disciplined capital allocation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
−Removed: expansive and targeted surgical strike turnaround activities we conducted over the last couple of years, we made the strategic decision to run our refineries at or near capacity to take advantage of the tremendous crack spread environment.
−Removed: As a result, we saw our utilization increase from 88.5% in the second quarter of 2021 to a record high of 97.6% in the second quarter of 2022, Additionally, in our midstream business, we successfully closed on an acquisition that expands our gathering footprint into the Delaware sub-basin of the Permian, and expanded our product offering to include natural gas gathering and processing as well as wastewater processing and disposal.
−Removed: This acquisition not only diversifies our logistics customer base to include significantly more third-party customers, it allows us to provide comprehensive logistics services in the Delaware Basin, while also serving as a funnel into our existing midstream Permian activities.
−Removed: While the impact on the second quarter is not significant (as a result of the Acquisition closing in June), we expect that the acquisition itself will be immediately accretive, delivering incremental contribution margin and cash flows attributable to existing long-term dedicated acreage agreements as well as some contracts with minimum volume commitments.

−Removed: As a result of these strong cash flows, we were able to declare both a special dividend and reinstate the quarterly dividend, as well as obtain board approval to increase our share repurchase authorization, both of which are indicative of our continued commitment to return value to shareholders.

Market Outlook for the Remainder of 2022
−Removed: As we look to the remainder of the year, commodity markets are predicting a decline in demand as consumer purchasing continues to be eroded by inflation combined with the expectation that the federal reserve may continue to raise interest rates in response.
−Removed: Such conditions could spell the declaration of an official recession, which may upend markets in unexpected ways and make capital more difficult to come by.
−Removed: However, due to years of global underinvestment in oil production and the possibility of continued sanctions on Russia, demand for oil and related commodity prices may continue to be strong, sitting at or near the higher end of the life-cycle.
−Removed: That said, domestic regulatory intervention could put pressure on profits of oil companies and may have unanticipated effects on the commodities markets as well as the capital markets.
−Removed: For these reasons, we continue to position the Company to run at or near our nameplate capacity to take advantage of favorable pricing environments while working to integrate our new acquisition and leverage the new logistics lines of business to our advantage, always with an eye towards the One Delek vision and long-term operational sustainability.

−Removed: Additionally, the EPA denied the petitions for small refinery exemptions ("SREs") for prior period compliance years based on the arguably inaccurate presumption that small refineries are not unduly burdened by the cost of RINs, which resulted in the denial of our pending 2019 and 2020 SRE applications.
−Removed: In April 2022, the EPA also overturned the previously granted 2018 SREs, of which we received three such exemptions (for all our refineries except Big Spring), though it further announced that compliance will not be required.
−Removed: These actions by the EPA could result in significant increases in RINs prices over the coming months.
−Removed: Accordingly, our net RINs Obligation in future periods may be negatively impacted by volatility in prices, likewise disproportionately impacting our ability to capture crack spread, particularly compared to our larger refinery competitors.

−Removed: Federal Reserve and fellow central banks have made and are considering further rate changes to combat the rising inflation.
−Removed: Successful efforts along these lines could cause the cost of capital to rise and could negatively impact construction and other growth efforts that drive demand for our products, but could also reduce the burden on consumers which could lead to increases in discretionary travel and other activities requiring refined fuel products.
−Removed: Because of this uncertainty, there continues to be risk around inflation as well as the potential impact of regulatory efforts to curb inflation which cannot currently be determined.
+Added: During the third quarter of 2022, the domestic oil and gas industry witnessed a contraction of domestic market crack spreads compared to the unprecedented favorable market conditions that existed during the second quarter of 2022.
+Added: We expect the volatility in the global energy markets will continue until supply can meet the current demand and fears of an economic downturn subside.
+Added: Although the possibility of an economic downturn exists, Delek is witnessing a strong demand environment for refined products which is being driven by a rebound in domestic on road fuel demand.
+Added: To capture the macro environment, we have positioned the Company to continue to run safely, reliably and environmentally responsibly at near nameplate capacity while leveraging our new 3 Bear logistics lines of business with an eye towards the One Delek vision.
