Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read “Note 1—Overview” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Operational Update
Our Wyoming refinery experienced an operational incident on the evening of February 12, 2025, and remained safely idled during repair and recovery work through late April 2025, when the refinery returned to full crude operations. The 47 days of idle time in 2025 impacted comparability between the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.
Economic Update
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Red Sea region continue in 2026, putting upward pressure on prices in March 2026. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz in early March 2026 has disrupted global trade patterns and increased crude oil price volatility worldwide. Crude oil prices increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Brent crude oil prices averaged $99.60 per barrel during March, raising the quarterly average to $78.38 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $74.98 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Average U.S. retail gasoline prices spiked to $3.48 per gallon in March, raising the quarterly average to $2.99 per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2026, consistent with the average cost per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2025. On March 1, 2026, OPEC agreed to increase output by 206,000 barrels per day beginning in April 2026. The overall energy price index increased 12.5% and the total consumer price index increased 3.3% year over year as of March 31, 2026.
Please read our Item 1A. — Risk Factors discussion below and on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further information.
Employee Update
Approximately 49% of the workforce at our Hawaii and Tacoma refineries are represented by the United Steelworkers Union under a collective bargaining agreement that expired January 31, 2026, and is currently subject to 24-hour extension periods while the parties continue their negotiations.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. Our financial results for the first quarter of 2026 improved from a net loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to net income attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders of $54.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The $84.9 million increase was primarily driven by an $81.0 million increase in our refining segment operating income, an $8.5 million increase in Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, and a $5.9 million decrease in Interest expense and financing costs, net, partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in income tax expense. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $91.5 million compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $81.4 million increase was primarily due to an $80.8 million increase in refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $38.5 million compared to Adjusted Net Loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $88.8 million improvement was primarily related to the factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a $5.8 million decrease in Interest expense and financing costs, net, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative loss (gain).

(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.
Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

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
28
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 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 our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
• unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Factors Impacting Segment Results
Operating Income
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $56.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $81.0 million compared to an operating loss of $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Please read the Adjusted Gross Margin discussion below for additional information. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by:
• an increase of $111.6 million related to favorable changes in feedstock differentials across all our refineries,
• a favorable FIFO adjustment of $150.8 million driven by rising feedstock costs, and
• an increase of $77.8 million primarily related to higher crack spreads at our Washington, Hawaii, and Montana refineries
partially offset by:
• a decrease of $156.9 million related to unfavorable derivative impacts and
• an unfavorable change of $104.0 million in the valuation of the step-out obligation related to our Inventory Intermediation Agreement driven by changes in commodity prices.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.6 million compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. $5.4 million of the increase was driven by higher throughput activity across our Wyoming, Hawaii, and Montana logistics assets, partially offset by increased repair and maintenance costs of $2.7 million in Hawaii related to planned maintenance activities. Our Wyoming refinery was idle for 47 days in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of an operational incident.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $3.0 million compared to $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease driven by lower fuel margins and a $1.4 million decline related to 5% lower fuel sales volumes.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Refining. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $185.1 million, an increase of $80.8 million compared to $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $60.7 million increase related to favorable feedstock costs, and $79.3 million related to higher crack spreads, partially offset by $70.6 million related to unfavorable impacts from realized derivatives and a $32.1 million increase in environmental costs. Our combined index improved $11.83 per barrel, or 160%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the comparable period in 2025.
Logistics. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $37.4 million, an increase of $3.4 million compared to $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher throughput activity across our Hawaii, Montana and Wyoming logistics assets, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in repair and maintenance costs in Hawaii related to planned maintenance activities.
Retail. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $36.1 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease driven by fuel margins and a $1.4 million decrease related to lower fuel sales volumes.
Discussion of Consolidated Results
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenues were $1.8 billion, a $0.1 billion increase compared to $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher refining revenue due to higher average product crack spreads and a 2% increase in product sales volumes. Average Brent crude oil prices increased 5% and average WTI crude oil prices increased 2% as compared to the prior period. The Combined Index increased 160% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Revenues at our retail segment decreased $3.3 million primarily due to a 5% decline in fuel sales volumes related to a 2% increase in prices. Please read our key operating statistics for further information.
34

Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC were $9.2 million compared to Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (“Par Borrower”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Par Borrower, the “Term Loan Borrowers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) and is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the subsidiaries of Par Borrower. The Term Loan Credit Agreement
35
proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B Facility and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, all three of which had similar guarantees that were replaced by those on the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects (i) the Parent’s separate accounts, (ii) Par Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries’ accounts (which are all guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (iii) the accounts of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and consolidating adjustments and eliminations, and (iv) the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (dollar amounts in thousands).

(1) The income tax benefit (expense) of the Parent Guarantor and Issuer and Subsidiaries is determined using the separate return method. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations column includes tax benefits recognized at the Par consolidated level that are primarily associated with changes to the consolidated valuation allowance and other deferred tax balances.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA for the supplemental consolidating condensed financial information, which is segregated at the “Parent Guarantor,” “Par Borrower and Subsidiaries,” and “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations” levels, is calculated in a similar manner as the Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA. Net income (loss), which management considers the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is used as the basis for the calculation instead of Net income (loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders because certain adjustments used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA are not practicably segregated at these
40
levels. See “Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Performance Measures — Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA” above.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of March 31, 2026, was $937.7 million, consisting of $172.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $765.5 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, for payments related to acquisitions, to repay or refinance indebtedness and to repurchase shares of our common stock.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
Cash Requirements. There have been no material changes to the cash requirements disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, outside the ordinary course of business.

Net cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from:
• a $168.8 million increase in Accounts receivable primarily driven by timing of collections and increased pricing;
• a $132.6 million increase in Inventories driven by higher average inventory costs and increases in total volumes, partially offset by a decrease in environmental credit inventory;

• an increase in deferred turnaround expenditures of $17.9 million driven by expenditures related to Tacoma planned maintenance and Hawaii refinery turnaround activities;
partially offset by:
• a $125.8 million increase in obligations under inventory financing agreements primarily due to higher financed inventory volumes and prices and
• an increase in Accounts payable and Other accrued liabilities of $79.2 million primarily driven by timing of payments and an increase in environmental credit obligations related to 2026 production, partially offset by the retirement of prior year CCA obligations.
Non-cash charges to operations and non-operating items consisted primarily of the following adjustments:
• unrealized loss on derivatives contracts of $76.9 million driven by commodity prices,

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $91.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and consisted primarily of net borrowings of debt of $143.3 million driven by ABL Credit Facility activity, partially offset by repurchases of common stock of $36.7 million, including $28.0 million of repurchases under the share repurchase program, and $18.2 million related to stock option exercises settled in cash.

by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $14.1 million. Non-cash charges to operations consisted primarily of the following adjustments:

partially offset by:
• unrealized gain on derivatives contracts of $9.4 million,
• equity earnings of $7.5 million from our refining and logistic investments,
• a $6.9 million change in deferred tax assets driven by our net income during the period, and
• a $2.3 million benefit from changes in our inventory reserve for the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from:
• a $40.3 million decrease in prepaid and other expenses, primarily driven by decreases in derivative collateral,
• a $31.9 million decrease in inventories primarily related to a $57.0 million decline in RINs and environmental credits inventory partially offset by a $13.3 million increase in crude inventory and an $8.3 million increase in refined products and blendstock inventory,
• a $17.3 million increase in obligations under inventory financing agreements primarily due to increases in the step-out liability driven by higher volumes, and
• a $13.8 million decrease in accounts receivable primarily related to lower volumes and the timing of collections,
partially offset by:
• a decrease in Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $61.0 million primarily driven by timing of payments, a $9.7 million decrease in advances from customers, and a $14.2 million decrease in RINs and other environmental credit obligations, and
• an increase in deferred turnaround expenditures of $28.2 million driven by expenditures related to Montana refinery turnaround activities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted primarily of $40.9 million in additions to property, plant, and equipment driven by profit improvement and maintenance projects at our refineries, including our Hawaii renewable hydrotreater project, planned maintenance at our Montana refinery, and repair and replacement work related to our Wyoming operational incident.
