NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of business — Murphy USA Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Murphy USA”, "we", "our", "us", or the “Company”) markets refined products through a network of retail gasoline stores and to unbranded wholesale customers. In addition, we operate non-fuel convenience stores in select markets. The Company owns and operates a chain of retail stores under the brand names of Murphy USA ® and Murphy Express, most of which are located in close proximity to Walmart stores, and also has a mix of convenience stores with and without retail gasoline that operate under the brand name of QuickChek ® . At September 30, 2025, the Company had a total of 1,772 Company stores of which 1,620 were branded as Murphy and 152 were the QuickChek brand. The Company also has certain product supply and wholesale assets, including product distribution terminals and pipeline positions.
Basis of Presentation — Murphy USA was incorporated in March 2013 and, in connection with its incorporation, Murphy USA issued 100 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, to Murphy Oil Corporation (“Murphy Oil”) for $ 1.00 . On August 30, 2013, Murphy USA was separated from Murphy Oil through the distribution of 100 % of the common stock of Murphy USA to holders of Murphy Oil stock. Murphy USA Inc., Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries operate on a calendar year basis, while the QuickChek subsidiary uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. For the three month period ended September 30, 2025, the QuickChek results covered the period June 28, 2025 to September 26, 2025, and the 2025 year-to-date period began December 28, 2024. For the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the QuickChek results covered the period June 29, 2024 to September 27, 2024, and the 2024 year-to-date period began December 30, 2023. The difference in timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.
In preparing the financial statements of Murphy USA in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Interim Financial Information — The interim period financial information presented in these consolidated financial statements is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Murphy USA and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 001-35914), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on February 20, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards —
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU intends to enhance income tax disclosures, under Topic 740, to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect for this to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This ASU addresses investor requests for more granular information about an entity’s expenses, allowing investors to better understand performance, prospects for future cash flows, and comparability over time and with other entities. The primary goal is to improve the decision-usefulness of expense information on public companies’ income statements through disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026,

and interim periods in the year beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is assessing the impact of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Measurement of Credit Losses for
Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." This ASU addresses challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update introduce a practical expedient for all entities, and an accounting policy election for entities other than public business entities. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect for this to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Revenues
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our petroleum products, convenience merchandise, Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") and other assets to our third-party customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Excise and sales tax that we collect where we have determined we are the principal in the transaction have been recorded as revenue on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.
The Company enters into buy/sell and similar arrangements when petroleum products are held at one location but are needed at a different location. The Company often pays or receives funds related to the buy/sell arrangements based on location or quality differences. The Company accounts for such transactions as non-monetary exchanges under existing accounting guidance and typically reports these on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following tables disaggregate our revenues by major source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Marketing segment
Petroleum product sales (at retail). For our retail store locations, the revenue related to petroleum product sales is recognized as the fuel is pumped to our customers. The transaction price at the pump typically includes some portion of sales or excise taxes as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass-through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. Our customers typically use a mixture of cash, checks, credit cards and debit cards to pay for our products as they are received. We have accounts receivable from the various credit/debit card providers at any point in time related to product sales made on credit cards and debit cards. These receivables are typically collected in two to seven days , depending on the terms with the particular credit/debit card providers. Payment fees retained by the credit/debit card providers are recorded as Store and other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Petroleum product sales (at wholesale). Our sales of petroleum products at wholesale are generally recorded as revenue when the deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Title transfer for bulk refined product sales typically occurs at pipeline custody points and upon trucks loading at product terminals. For bulk pipeline sales, we record receivables from customers that are generally collected within a week from custody transfer date. For our rack product sales, the majority of our customers' accounts are drafted by us within 10 days from product transfer.
Merchandise sales. For our retail store locations, the revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized as the customer completes their purchase at our locations. The transaction price typically includes some portion of sales tax as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass-through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. As noted previously, a mixture of payment types are used for these revenues and the same terms for credit/debit card receivables are realized.
With respect to merchandise sales revenue we must determine whether we are the principal or agent for some categories of merchandise such as scratch-off lottery tickets, lotto tickets, newspapers and other small categories of merchandise. For scratch-off lottery tickets, we have determined we are the principal in the majority of the jurisdictions and therefore we record those sales on a gross basis. We have some categories of merchandise (such as lotto tickets) where we are the agent and the revenues recorded for those transactions are our net commission only.
The Company offers loyalty programs through each of its branded retail locations. The customers earn rewards based on their spending or other promotional activities. These programs create a performance obligation which requires us to defer a portion of sales revenue to the loyalty program participants until they redeem their rewards.
10
Murphy USA Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The rewards may be redeemed for free or discounted merchandise or cash discounts at all stores and on fuel purchases at Murphy branded stores. Earned rewards expire after an account is inactive for a period of 90 days at Murphy branded stores, while certain QuickChek rewards require use within the month. We recognize loyalty revenue when a customer redeems an earned reward. Deferred revenue associated with both rewards programs are included in Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred revenue balances at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were immaterial.
RINs sales. For the sale of RINs, we recognize revenue when the RIN is transferred to the counter-party and the sale is completed. Receivables from our counter-parties related to the RIN sales are typically collected within five days of the sale.
Other revenues. Items reported as other operating revenues include collection allowances for excise and sales tax and other miscellaneous items and are recognized as revenue when the transaction is completed.
Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable on the balance sheet represents both receivables related to contracts with customers and other trade receivables. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $ 133.1 million and $ 110.5 million of receivables, respectively, related to contracts with customers recorded. Typically, the trade accounts receivable related to contracts with customers outstanding at the end of each period were collected during the succeeding quarter. These receivables were generally related to credit and debit card transactions along with short term bulk and wholesale sales to our customers, which have a very short settlement window.
Note 3 — Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
(Millions of dollars) September 30,

Petroleum products - FIFO basis $ 346.8 $ 353.3

Materials and supplies 13.9 10.9
Total inventories $ 387.2 $ 401.6
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the replacement cost (market value) of LIFO inventories exceeded the LIFO carrying value for petroleum products by $ 209.0 million and $ 189.1 million, respectively.
Note 4 — Marketable Securities
The Company invests a portion of its excess operational cash in marketable securities. The goal of the Company's investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: (1) preservation of principal, (2) maintaining a high degree of liquidity to meet cash flow requirements, and (3) deliver competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions and the Company's stated objectives related to safety and liquidity. Nothing in the policy is intended to indicate that management must invest excess operational cash; it allows it to be subject to specific limitations.
Securities are generally required to have a final maturity of 24 months or less with a weighted average maturity for the portfolio of no longer than 12 months and must have an active secondary market. Investments may include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, U.S. Agency securities, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, institutional, government money market funds that maintain a stable $ 1.00 net asset value, domestic and foreign commercial paper, municipal securities, domestic and foreign debt issued by corporations or financial institutions

Senior Notes
On April 25, 2017, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. ("MOUSA"), our primary operating subsidiary, issued $ 300 million of 5.625 % Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") under its existing shelf registration statement. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities (as defined below). The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company, MOUSA, and the restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments or investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge with or into other entities.
On September 13, 2019, MOUSA, issued $ 500 million of 4.75 % Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were used to fund, in part, the tender offer and redemption of a prior note issuance. The 2029 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 Senior Notes.
On January 29, 2021, MOUSA, issued $ 500 million of 3.75 % Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2027 Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of QuickChek and other obligations related to that transaction. The 2031 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 and 2029 Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes and related guarantees rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness with respect to the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future third-party liabilities, including trade payables, of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
Our credit agreement consists of both a cash flow revolving credit facility and a senior secured term loan.
Following a refinancing effective as of April 7, 2025, the credit agreement provides for a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $ 600 million (the "Term Facility") (which was borrowed in full on April 7, 2025) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $ 750 million (the "Revolving Facility", and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The term loan is due April 2032, and we are required to make quarterly principal payments of $ 1.5 million, which are due to begin on January 1, 2026. The outstanding balance of the term loan was $ 600 million at September 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, prior to refinancing, the outstanding balance of our term loan was $ 386 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had $ 245.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $ 6.2 million of outstanding letters of credit (which reduces the amount available to borrow under the Revolving Facility).
The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, with the first amortization payment being due on January 1, 2026, at a rate of 1.00 % per annum. Pursuant to the credit agreement, the applicable margin, (A) in the case of Adjusted SOFR Rate borrowings, (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, ranges from 1.25 % to 2.00 % per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio and (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, is 1.75 % per annum and (B) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, ranges from 0.25 % to 1.00 % per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, is 0.75 % per annum.
The credit agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, to make certain restricted payments, to enter into consolidations, mergers or sales of material assets and other fundamental changes, to transact with affiliates, to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends, or to make certain accounting changes. The Revolving Facility credit agreement also imposes total leverage ratio and secured net leverage ratio financial maintenance covenants which are tested quarterly. Pursuant to the total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, the Company must maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 5.5 to 1.0 and a consolidated cash interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.0. The credit agreement also contains customary events of default.
Pursuant to the credit agreement's covenant limiting certain restricted payments, certain payments in respect of our equity interests, including dividends, when the total leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is greater than 3.0 to 1.0 could be limited. At September 30, 2025, our total leverage ratio was 2.20 to 1.0 which meant our ability at that date to make restricted payments was not limited. If our total leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, exceeds 3.0 to 1.0, any restricted payments made following that time until the ratio is once again, on a pro forma basis, below 3.0 to 1.0 would be limited by the covenant, which contains certain exceptions, including an ability to make restricted payments in cash in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $ 400.0 million or (b) 15.0 % of consolidated net tangible assets, estimated at $ 418.1 million as of September 30, 2025, over the life of the credit agreement.
All obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by Murphy USA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and all obligations under the credit agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of Murphy USA, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and the guarantors party to the guarantee and collateral agreement in respect thereof.
Note 7 — Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)
The majority of the ARO recognized by the Company at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is related to the estimated costs to dismantle and abandon certain of its retail gasoline stores. The Company has not recorded an ARO for certain of its marketing assets because sufficient information is presently not available to estimate a range of potential settlement dates for the obligation. These assets are consistently being upgraded and are expected to be operational into the foreseeable future. In these cases, the obligation will be initially recognized in the period in which sufficient information exists to estimate the obligation.

The estimation of future ARO is based on a number of assumptions requiring professional judgment. The Company cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that may be required in future periods due to the lack of availability of additional information.
Note 8 — Income Taxes
The effective tax rate is calculated as the amount of income tax expense (benefit) divided by income before income tax expense (benefit). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s approximate effective tax rates were as follows:
2025 2024
Three Months Ended September 30, 25.1 % 24.9 %
Nine Months Ended September 30, 23.2 % 24.0 %
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $ 3.7 million of excess tax benefits related to stock compensation for employees, $ 3.7 million of benefit for purchased Federal energy tax credits, and $ 1.7 million in other discrete tax benefits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $ 4.7 million of excess tax benefits related to stock compensation for employees and $ 0.3 million in other discrete tax benefits.
As of September 30, 2025, the earliest year remaining open for Federal audits and/or settlement is 2021 and for state audits and/or settlement is 2020. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future periods from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters.
Note 9 — Incentive Plans
Equity Awards
The MUSA 2013 Plan authorized the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“the Committee”) to grant non-qualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards), dividend equivalent units, cash awards, and performance awards to our employees. No more than 5.5 million shares of MUSA common stock may be delivered under the MUSA 2013 Plan and no more than 1 million shares of common stock may be awarded to any one employee, subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization. The maximum cash amount payable pursuant to any “performance-based” award to any participant in any calendar year is $ 5.0 million.
On May 4, 2023, the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "MUSA 2023 Plan") was approved by the Company's shareholders and became effective for all future grants for both employees and directors. The MUSA 2023 Plan replaced the MUSA 2013 Plan and the 2013 Directors Plan, each of which expired on August 8, 2023. The MUSA 2023 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant to non-employee directors, employees, and consultants of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, stock options (incentive stock options ("ISOs") and nonqualified stock options ("NQSO")), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance awards or other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The maximum number of

shares available for issuance under the MUSA 2023 Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 1.725 million shares (subject to certain adjustments).
Beginning with its initial quarterly dividend in December 2020, the Company issued dividend equivalent units ("DEUs") on all outstanding, unvested equity awards (except stock options) in an amount commensurate with regular quarterly dividends paid on common stock. The terms of the DEUs mirror the underlying awards and will only vest if the related award vests. DEUs issued are included with grants in each respective table as applicable.
STOCK OPTIONS – The Committee fixes the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value ("FMV") on the date of the grant and fixes the option term at no more than 7 years from such date. Most of the nonqualified stock options granted in 2025 to certain employees by the Committee were granted in February 2025. The Black-Scholes valuation for these awards was $ 154.07 per option.
Assumptions used to value awards:
Dividend yield 0.39 %
Expected volatility 27.9 %
Risk-free interest rate 4.5 %
Expected life (years) 4.8
Stock price at valuation date $ 492.22

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS – The Committee has granted time-based RSUs as part of the compensation plan for its executives and certain other employees since its inception. The awards granted in the current year were under the MUSA 2023 Plan, are valued at the grant date fair value, and vest over three years . The Committee has also granted time-based RSUs to the non-employee directors of the Company as part of their overall compensation package for being a member of the Board of Directors, which vest at the end of one year . For annual equity grants to non-employee directors, the directors may elect to defer receipt of their vested RSUs until their service ends. These RSUs are included in the RSU table below, will vest in one year , and will thereafter become deferred stock units.

DIRECTOR DEFERRED STOCK UNITS (MUSA 2023 Plan) — Non-employee directors can elect to receive their annual cash retainers in the form of Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs"). The DSUs are recognized at their fair value on the date of the grant. Director fees which are deferred into DSUs are calculated and expensed each quarter by taking fees earned during the quarter and dividing by the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the quarter. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock following the completion of a director's service. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, we granted 644 DSUs and recorded director expense of $ 0.3 million related to the grants. At September 30, 2025, there were 2,383 Director DSUs vested and outstanding with an average grant date fair value of $ 399.10 per unit under the MUSA 2023 Plan.
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS – The Committee has granted performance-based restricted stock units (performance units or "PSUs") to its executives and certain other employees. In February 2025, the Committee awarded PSUs to certain employees. Half of the PSUs vest based on a three-year return on average capital employed ("ROACE") calculation and the other half vest based on a three-year total shareholder return ("TSR") calculation that compares MUSA to a group of 17 peer companies. The portion of the awards that vest based on TSR qualify as a market condition and must be valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model. For the TSR portion of the awards, the fair value was determined to be $ 674.28 per unit. For the ROACE portion of the awards, the valuation was based on the grant date fair value of $ 492.22 per unit and the number of awards will be periodically assessed to determine the probability of vesting.
Changes in PSUs outstanding for Company employees during the period from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 are presented in the following table:

2013 Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors
Effective August 8, 2013, Murphy USA adopted the 2013 Murphy USA Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors (the “2013 Directors Plan”). The directors for Murphy USA are compensated with a mixture of cash payments and equity-based awards.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (2013 Directors Plan) – The Committee has also granted time based RSUs to the non-employee directors of the Company as part of their overall compensation package for being a member of the Board of Directors.

At September 30, 2025 there were 426 Director DSUs outstanding with an average grant date fair value of $ 259.67 per unit under the 2013 Directors Plan.
Share-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $ 14.5 million and $ 16.7 million, respectively.

Note 10 — Financial Instruments and Risk Management
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS — The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with credit worthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were accounted for as hedges and gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCI until the anticipated transactions occurred. As of September 30, 2025, all current commodity derivative activity is immaterial.
There were $ 0.4 million cash deposits at September 30, 2025 and $ 0.2 million at December 31, 2024 related to commodity derivative contracts reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These cash deposits have not been used to increase the reported net assets or reduce the reported net liabilities on the derivative contracts at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Note 11 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share adjusts basic earnings per common share for the effects of stock options and restricted stock in the periods where such items are dilutive.
On May 2, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $ 1.5 billion that expires December 31, 2028, and excludes excise tax. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $ 358.7 million remained under the 2023 authorization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,361,255 shares of common stock for an average price of $ 429.39 per share including brokerage

Note 13 — Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.
The Company's available-for-sale marketable securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. We value these securities at the closing price in the principal active markets as of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair values of the Company's marketable securities by asset class are described in Note 4 "Marketable Securities" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025. We value the deferred compensation plan assets, which consist of money market and mutual funds, based on quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. For additional information on deferred compensation plans see also Note 13 "Employee and Retirement Benefit Plans" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
At the balance sheet date, the fair value of commodity derivatives contracts was determined using NYMEX quoted values. The carrying value of the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, Trade accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value. See also Note 10 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025, for more information.

Fair value of financial instruments not recognized at fair value
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table below excludes Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, and Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of Current and Long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain financial guarantees and letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 14 — Contingencies
The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax increases and retroactive tax claims; import and export controls; price controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Because governmental actions are often motivated by political considerations, may be taken without full consideration of their consequences, and may be taken in response to actions of other governments, it is not practical to attempt to predict the likelihood of such actions, the form the actions may take or the effect such actions may have on the Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND LEGAL MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws, regulations and permit requirements dealing with the environment. Violation of such environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and other sanctions. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations, claims by neighboring landowners, governmental authorities and other third parties for any personal injury, property damage and other losses that might result.
The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. In connection with these activities, hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where they have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose management of hazardous substances was not under the Company’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to remediate contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial actions to prevent future contamination. Certain of these contaminated properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any related liability and the availability of applicable defenses. With the sale of the U.S. refineries in 2011, Murphy Oil retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters. Murphy Oil also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures. With respect to the previously owned refinery properties, Murphy Oil retained those liabilities in the Separation and Distribution agreement that was entered into related to the separation on August 30, 2013. With respect to any remaining potential liabilities, based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes costs related to these properties will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy USA’s net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.
While it is possible that certain environmental expenditures could be recovered by the Company from other sources, primarily environmental funds maintained by certain states, no assurance can be given that future recoveries from other sources will occur. As such, the Company has not recorded a benefit for likely recoveries at September 30, 2025, however certain jurisdictions provide reimbursement for these expenses which have been considered in recording the net exposure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently considers the Company a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) at one Superfund site. As to the site, the potential total cost to all parties to perform necessary remedial work at this site may be substantial. However, based on current negotiations and available information, the Company believes that it is a de minimis party as to ultimate responsibility at the Superfund site. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability for remedial costs at the Superfund site at September 30, 2025. The Company could be required to bear a pro rata share of costs attributable to nonparticipating PRPs or could be assigned additional responsibility for remediation at this site or other Superfund sites. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes that its share of the ultimate costs to clean up this site will be immaterial and will not have a material adverse effect on its net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.
Based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future remediation costs to be incurred to address known contamination sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. However, there is the possibility that additional environmental expenditures could be required to address contamination, including as a result of discovering additional contamination or the
22

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
imposition of new or revised requirements applicable to known contamination, and such additional expenditures could be material.
Murphy USA is engaged in a number of other legal proceedings, all of which the Company considers routine and incidental to its business. The City of Charleston, South Carolina, and the State of Delaware filed lawsuits against energy companies, including the Company, alleging damages as a result of climate change, seeking unspecified monetary damages and abatement under various tort theories. On August 6, 2025, the court in South Carolina dismissed the City of Charleston’s lawsuit on the merits. No appeal was filed; that lawsuit has concluded. On January 9, 2024, the court in Delaware dismissed, in substantial part, the State of Delaware’s lawsuit on the merits. Its attempt to appeal that partial dismissal was denied, and it is now proceeding on narrowed claims. At this stage, the ultimate outcome of the State of Delaware matter remains uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined.. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of those other legal matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.
INSURANCE — The Company maintains insurance coverage at levels that are customary and consistent with industry standards for companies of similar size. Murphy USA maintains statutory workers compensation insurance with a deductible of $ 1.0 million per occurrence, general liability insurance with a deductible of $ 3.0 million per occurrence, and auto liability insurance with a deductible of $ 0.3 million per occurrence. As of September 30, 2025, there were a number of outstanding claims that are of a routine nature. The estimated incurred but unpaid liabilities relating to these claims are included in Trade account payables and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot presently be determined, management believes that the accrued liability of $ 57.6 million will be sufficient to cover the related liability and that the ultimate disposition of these claims will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
The Company has obtained insurance coverage as appropriate for the business in which it is engaged but may incur losses that are not covered by insurance or reserves, in whole or in part, and such losses could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
TAX MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, indirect taxes (excise/duty, sales/use and gross receipts taxes), payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Many of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities because of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
OTHER MATTERS — In the normal course of its business, the Company is required under certain contracts with various governmental authorities and others to provide financial guarantees or letters of credit that may be drawn upon if the Company fails to perform under those contracts. At September 30, 2025, the Company had contingent liabilities of $ 7.9 million on outstanding letters of credit. The Company has not accrued a liability in its balance sheet related to these financial guarantees and letters of credit because it is believed that the likelihood of having these drawn is remote.
Note 15 — Lease Accounting
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 years or less to 34 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Due to the uncertainties of future markets, economic factors, technology changes, demographic shifts and behavior, environmental regulatory requirements and other information that impacts decisions as to store location, management has determined that it was not reasonably certain to exercise contract options and they are not included in the lease term. Additionally, short-term leases
23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

and leases with variable lease costs are immaterial. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or otherwise modify its lease agreements to determine if changes are required to the right-of-use assets and liabilities.
As the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company's lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lessor — We have various arrangements for certain spaces for food service and vending equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is immaterial. We also have certain areas where we sublease building and land space to others. This lease income is immaterial.
Lessee — We lease land for 461 stores, one terminal, and various equipments. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees and approximately 103 sites leased from Walmart contain restrictive covenants, though the restrictions are deemed to have an immaterial impact.
Leases are reflected in the following balance sheet accounts:

Note 16 — Business Segments
We identify reportable segments based on how we manage the company's operations. Our operations include the sale of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise along with the wholesale and bulk sale capabilities of our product supply and wholesale group. As the primary purpose of the product supply and wholesale group is to support our retail operations and provide fuel for their daily operation, the bulk and wholesale fuel sales are secondary to the support functions played by these groups. As such, they are all treated as one segment for reporting purposes as they sell the same products and have similar economic characteristics. This Marketing segment contains essentially all of the revenue generating activities of the Company. Results not included in the reportable segment are included in Corporate and Other Assets. The reportable segment was determined based on information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer.
The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources for its reportable segment using segment income or loss. This metric is used to evaluate the overall financial performance of the Marketing segment, make operational and strategic decisions, prepare our annual plan, and allocate resources.
The accounting policies for the Marketing segment are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. No eliminations are required for the presentation below as virtually all corporate and other costs are allocated to the Marketing segment.

Note 17 — Restructuring Expenses
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company incurred restructuring charges as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen operational effectiveness, improve organizational efficiency and position the company for long-term success. These expenses, included in "Restructuring expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income, consisted primarily of severance and other employee costs, including severance pay and other termination benefits, as well as other ancillary costs. These restructuring charges were recorded as Corporate costs and therefore excluded from the financial results of the reportable segment.
