Item 1. Business
OVERVIEW
MPC has nearly 140 years of history in the energy business, and is a leading, integrated, downstream and midstream energy company. We operate one of the nation's largest refining systems with approximately 3.0 million barrels per day of crude oil refining capacity and believe we are one of the largest wholesale suppliers of gasoline and distillates to resellers in the United States. We distribute our refined products through one of the largest terminal operations in the United States and one of the largest private domestic fleets of inland petroleum product barges. Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas and NGLs from some of the largest supply basins in the United States to domestic and international markets. In addition, we are one of the largest producers and marketers of renewable diesel in the United States.
Our operations consist of three reportable operating segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.
•Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States, purchases refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services provided largely by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to independent entrepreneurs who operate primarily Marathon® branded outlets and through long-term supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.
•Midstream – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment via refining logistics assets, pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges; gathers, treats, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. The Midstream segment primarily reflects the results of MPLX. MPLX is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership (“MLP”) formed in 2012 that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets and provides fuels distribution services. As of December 31, 2025, we owned the general partner of MPLX and approximately 64 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.
•Renewable Diesel – processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, markets renewable diesel and distributes renewable diesel through our Midstream segment and third parties. We sell renewable diesel to wholesale marketing customers, to buyers on the spot market and through long-term supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO® brand.
Corporate History and Structure
MPC was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 2009 in connection with an internal restructuring of Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon Oil”). On May 25, 2011, the Marathon Oil board of directors approved the spinoff of its Refining, Marketing & Transportation Business into an independent, publicly traded company, MPC, through the distribution of MPC common stock to the stockholders of Marathon Oil on June 30, 2011. Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MPC.”
On October 1, 2018, we acquired Andeavor. Andeavor shareholders received in the aggregate approximately 239.8 million shares of MPC common stock valued at $19.8 billion and $3.5 billion in cash. Andeavor was a highly integrated marketing, logistics and refining company operating primarily in the Western and Mid-Continent United States. Our acquisition of Andeavor in 2018 substantially increased our geographic diversification and the scale of our assets, which provides increased opportunities to optimize our system.
On May 14, 2021, we completed the sale of Speedway, LLC (“Speedway”), our company-owned and operated retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, to 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) for cash proceeds of $21.38 billion ($17.22 billion after cash-tax payments). This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $11.68 billion ($8.02 billion after income taxes), after deducting the book value of the net assets and certain other adjustments.

Table of Contents
Our refineries include crude oil atmospheric and vacuum distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, catalytic reforming, coking, desulfurization and sulfur recovery units. The refineries process a wide variety of condensate and light and heavy crude oils purchased from various domestic and foreign suppliers. We produce numerous refined products, ranging from transportation fuels, such as reformulated gasolines, blend-grade gasolines intended for blending with ethanol and ULSD fuel, to heavy fuel oil and asphalt. Additionally, we manufacture NGLs and petrochemicals and propane. See the Refined Product Sales section for further information about the products we produce.
Our refineries are largely integrated with each other via pipelines, terminals and barges to maximize operating efficiency. The transportation links that connect our refineries allow the movement of intermediate products between refineries to optimize operations, produce higher margin products and efficiently utilize our processing capacity. Also, shipping intermediate products between facilities during partial refinery shutdowns allows us to utilize processing capacity that is not directly affected by the shutdown work.
Planned maintenance activities, or turnarounds, requiring temporary shutdown of certain refinery operating units, are periodically performed at each refinery.

Gasoline and Distillates
We sell gasoline, gasoline blendstocks and distillates (including No. 1 and No. 2 fuel oils, jet fuel, kerosene and diesel) to wholesale customers, branded jobbers, direct dealers and on the spot market. In addition, we sell diesel fuel and gasoline for export to international customers. The demand for gasoline and distillates is seasonal in many of our markets, with demand typically at its highest levels during the summer months.
NGLs and Petrochemicals
We are a producer and marketer of NGLs and petrochemicals. Product availability varies by refinery and includes, among others, propylene, xylene, butane, benzene, toluene and cumene. We market these products domestically to customers in the chemical, agricultural and fuel-blending industries.

Propane
We produce propane at all of our refineries. Propane is primarily used for home heating and cooking, as a feedstock within the petrochemical industry, for grain drying and as a fuel for trucks and other vehicles. Our propane sales are split approximately 80 percent and 20 percent between the home heating market and industrial/petrochemical consumers, respectively.
Heavy Fuel Oil
We produce and market heavy residual fuel oil or related components, including slurry, at all of our refineries. Heavy residual fuel oil is primarily used in the utility and ship bunkering (fuel) industries, though there are other more specialized uses of the product.
Refining & Marketing Joint Venture
We hold a 49.9 percent equity interest in LF Bioenergy, an emerging producer of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) in the U.S. LF Bioenergy has been focused on developing and growing a portfolio of dairy farm-based, low carbon intensity RNG projects. Currently, there are six facilities in operation, with one additional facility under construction that is expected to come online over the next 12 months.
Terminals and Transportation
We transport, store and distribute crude oil, feedstocks and refined products through pipelines, terminals and marine fleets owned by MPLX and third parties in our market areas.
We own a fleet of transport trucks and trailers for the movement of refined products and crude oil. In addition, we maintain a fleet of leased and owned railcars for the movement and storage of refined products.
The locations and detailed information about our Refining & Marketing assets are included under Item 2. Properties and are incorporated herein by reference.
Competition, Market Conditions and Seasonality
The downstream petroleum business is highly competitive, particularly with regard to accessing crude oil and other feedstock supply and the marketing of refined products. We compete with a number of other companies to acquire crude oil for refinery processing and in the distribution and marketing of a full array of refined products.
We compete in four distinct markets for the sale of refined products—wholesale, including exports, spot, branded and retail distribution. Our marketing operations compete with numerous other independent marketers, integrated oil companies and high-volume retailers. We compete with companies in the sale of refined products to wholesale marketing customers, including private-brand marketers and large commercial and industrial consumers; companies in the sale of refined products on the spot market; and refiners or marketers in the supply of refined products to refiner-branded independent entrepreneurs. In addition, we compete with producers and marketers in other industries that supply alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of our industrial, commercial and retail consumers.
Market conditions in the oil and gas industry are cyclical and subject to global economic and political events and new and changing governmental regulations. Our operating results are affected by price changes in crude oil, natural gas and refined products, as well as changes in competitive conditions in the markets we serve. Price differentials between sweet and sour crude oils, ANS, WTI and MEH crude oils and other market structure impacts also affect our operating results.
Demand for gasoline, diesel fuel and asphalt is higher during the spring and summer months than during the winter months in most of our markets, primarily due to seasonal increases in highway traffic and construction. As a result, the operating results for our Refining & Marketing segment for the first and fourth quarters may be lower than for those in the second and third quarters of each calendar year.
Midstream
The Midstream segment primarily includes the operations of MPLX, our sponsored MLP, and certain related operations retained by MPC.
MPLX
MPLX owns and operates a network of crude oil, natural gas and refined product pipelines and has joint ownership interests in crude oil, refined products and other pipelines. MPLX also owns and operates light products terminals, storage assets and maintains a fleet of owned and leased towboats and barges in support of fuels distribution on behalf of MPC. MPLX’s assets also include natural gas gathering systems and natural gas processing and NGL fractionation complexes.
MPC-Retained Midstream Assets and Investments
We own four Jones Act medium range product tankers, three Jones Act 750 Series ATB vessels and have ownership interests in several crude oil and refined products pipeline systems and pipeline companies.

Table of Contents
The locations and detailed information about our Midstream assets are included under Item 2. Properties and are incorporated herein by reference.
Competition, Market Conditions and Seasonality
Our Midstream operations face competition for natural gas gathering, crude oil transportation and in obtaining natural gas supplies for our processing and related services; in obtaining unprocessed NGLs for gathering, transportation and fractionation; and in marketing our products and services. Competition for natural gas supplies is based primarily on the location of gas gathering systems and gas processing plants, operating efficiency and reliability, residue gas and NGL market connectivity, the ability to obtain a satisfactory price for products recovered and the fees charged for the services supplied to the customer. Competition for oil supplies is based primarily on the price and scope of services, location of gathering/transportation and storage facilities and connectivity to the best priced markets. Competitive factors affecting our fractionation services include availability of fractionation capacity, proximity to supply and industry marketing centers, the fees charged for fractionation services and operating efficiency and reliability of service. Competition for customers to purchase our natural gas and NGLs is based primarily on price, credit and market connectivity. In addition, certain of our Midstream operations are subject to rate regulation, which affects the rates that our common carrier pipelines can charge for transportation services and the return we obtain from such pipelines.
Our Midstream segment can be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the demand for natural gas and NGLs and the related fluctuations in commodity prices caused by various factors such as changes in transportation and travel patterns and variations in weather patterns from year to year.
Renewable Diesel
Our Renewable Diesel segment includes a wholly owned facility that processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel and renewable joint ventures that produce renewable diesel and renewable feedstocks.
Wholly Owned Renewable Processing Facilities
The Dickinson, North Dakota renewables facility has the capacity to produce 184 million gallons per year of renewable diesel from corn oil, soybean oil, fats and greases. The produced renewable diesel generates federal RINs, 45Z tax credits and LCFS credits when sold in California or similar markets. These instruments are used to help meet our Renewable Fuel Standard and LCFS compliance obligations as a petroleum fuel producer.
We own an aggregation facility in Cincinnati, Ohio and a pre-treatment facility in Beatrice, Nebraska. These facilities supply renewable agricultural feedstocks to our Dickinson and Martinez facilities.
Renewable Diesel Joint Ventures
The Martinez renewable diesel joint venture (the “Martinez Renewables joint venture”) is a partnership structured as a 50/50 joint venture with Neste Corporation to refine renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel. The Martinez Renewables facility, which has the capacity to produce 730 million gallons per year including pretreatment capabilities, reached full capacity in late 2024. The produced renewable diesel generates federal RINs, 45Z tax credits and LCFS credits when sold in California or similar markets. These instruments are used to help meet our Renewable Fuel Standard and LCFS compliance obligations as a petroleum fuel producer.
We formed the Green Bison Soy Processing, LLC (“Green Bison Soy Processing”) joint venture with Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM”) with ADM owning 75 percent of the joint venture and MPC owning 25 percent. Green Bison Soy Processing’s complex in Spiritwood, North Dakota sources and processes local soybeans and supplies the resulting soybean oil exclusively to MPC and has capacity to produce approximately 600 million pounds of refined soybean oil annually, enough feedstock for approximately 75 million gallons of renewable diesel per year.
Competition, Market Conditions and Seasonality
The renewable diesel business is evolving, particularly with regard to regulatory credits, access to renewable feedstock supply and the marketing of renewable products. We compete with a number of other companies in acquiring various renewable feedstocks for processing and in the distribution and marketing of renewable diesel and renewable naphtha, primarily on the West Coast.
We compete in three distinct markets for the sale of renewable diesel—wholesale, spot and retail distribution. We compete with companies in the sale of renewable diesel to wholesale marketing customers, including private-brand marketers and large commercial and industrial consumers; companies in the sale of renewable diesel on the spot market; and refiners or marketers in the supply of renewable diesel to refiner-branded independent entrepreneurs. In addition, we compete with producers and marketers in other industries that supply alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of our industrial, commercial and retail consumers.
Market conditions in the renewable diesel industry are cyclical and subject to global economic and political events and new and changing governmental regulations. Our operating results are affected by price changes in renewable feedstocks as well as
9
Table of Contents
changes in competitive conditions in the markets we serve. Price differentials between the various renewable feedstocks also affect our operating results.
Demand for renewable diesel may increase during the spring and summer months due to seasonal increases in agricultural activities. As a result, the operating results for our renewable segment for the first and fourth quarters may be lower than for those in the second and third quarters of each calendar year.
REGULATORY MATTERS
Our operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations, including those relating to the protection of the environment. Such laws and regulations include, among others, the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) with respect to air emissions, the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) with respect to water discharges, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) with respect to solid and hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) with respect to releases and remediation of hazardous substances and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA-90”) with respect to oil pollution and response. In addition, many states where we operate have similar laws. New laws are being enacted and regulations are being adopted on a continuing basis, and the costs of compliance with such new laws and regulations are very difficult to estimate until finalized.
For a discussion of environmental capital expenditures and costs of compliance, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs. For additional information regarding regulatory risks, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Rate Regulation
Some of our existing pipelines are considered interstate common carrier pipelines subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) under the Interstate Commerce Act (the “ICA”), Energy Policy Act of 1992 (“EPAct 1992”) and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws. The ICA and FERC regulations require that tariff rates for oil pipelines, a category that includes crude oil and petroleum product pipelines, be just and reasonable and the terms and conditions of service must not be unduly discriminatory. The ICA permits interested persons to challenge newly proposed tariff rates or terms and conditions of service, or any change to tariff rates or terms and conditions of service, and authorizes FERC to suspend the effectiveness of such proposal or change for a period of time to investigate. If, upon completion of an investigation, FERC finds that the new or changed service or rate is unlawful, it is authorized to require the carrier to refund the revenues in excess of the prior tariff collected during the pendency of the investigation. An interested person may also challenge existing terms and conditions of service or rates and FERC may order a carrier to change its terms and conditions of service or rates prospectively. Upon an appropriate showing, a shipper may also obtain reparations from a pipeline for damages sustained as a result of rates or terms which FERC deemed were not just and reasonable. Such reparation damages may accrue from the complaint through the final order and during the two years prior to the filing of a complaint.
The EPAct 1992 deemed certain interstate petroleum pipeline rates then in effect to be just and reasonable under the ICA. These rates are commonly referred to as “grandfathered rates.” Our rates for interstate transportation service in effect for the 365-day period ending on the date of the passage of the EPAct 1992 were deemed just and reasonable and therefore are grandfathered. Subsequent changes to those rates are not grandfathered. New rates have since been established after the EPAct 1992 for certain pipelines, and certain of our pipelines have subsequently been approved to charge market-based rates.
FERC permits regulated oil pipelines to change their rates within prescribed ceiling levels that are tied to an inflation index. A carrier must, as a general rule, utilize the indexing methodology to change its rates. Cost-of-service ratemaking, market-based rates and settlement rates are alternatives to the indexing approach and may be used in certain specified circumstances to change rates.
Air
GHG Emissions
Certain states and regions have adopted, or are considering, rules regulating GHG emissions. These measures may include state actions to develop statewide or regional programs to report and reduce GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs that typically require major sources of GHG emissions to acquire and surrender emission allowances in return for emitting those GHGs. For example, California has extended its Cap-and-Invest (formerly, Cap-and-Trade) program through 2045. As the emission reduction goals of the program increase, the compliance costs for California refineries may significantly disadvantage in-state refineries as compared to out-of-state refineries depending on multiple factors including the number of allowances granted to in-state refineries. State GHG emission rules may also include low-carbon fuel standards, such as the California program, or a state carbon tax. In all, these state measures could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities, capital expenditures to install new emission controls and costs to administer any carbon trading or tax programs implemented.
States are increasingly announcing aspirational goals to be net-zero carbon emissions by a certain date through both legislation and executive orders. To date, these states have not provided significant details as to achievement of these goals; however, meeting these aspirations will require a reduction in fossil fuel combustion and/or a mechanism to capture GHGs from the
10
Table of Contents
atmosphere. As a result, we cannot currently predict the impact of these potential regulations on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
International jurisdictions have adopted or are considering adopting laws related to the disclosure and regulation of GHG emissions. For example, the European Union Emissions Trading System (“ETS”) is a cap-and-trade type program. GHG emissions from maritime transport became subject to the ETS in 2024. These laws could result in increased costs to distribute our products to foreign jurisdictions.
The EPA’s final rule titled “Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review,” which was published in March 2024, requires MPLX to control and reduce methane emissions within its natural gas gathering and boosting operations and gas processing facilities. In 2025, the EPA extended the compliance deadlines for several provisions in the rule. The rule is consistent with the voluntary methane reduction programs that MPLX has been implementing through its Focus on Methane Program. As a result, although the rule requires MPLX to make additional investments to further reduce methane emissions, we do not believe the rule will have a material impact to our operations.
Other Air Emissions
The CAA and comparable state laws restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources and impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. These laws and any implementing regulations may require us to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements, utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions, or aggregate two or more of our facilities into one application for permitting purposes. We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable air permitting and control technology requirements. However, we may be required to incur capital expenditures and may continue to incur capital expenditures in the future for installation of air pollution control equipment and may encounter construction or operational delays while applying for, or awaiting the review, processing and issuance of, new or amended permits, and we may be required to modify certain of our operations which could increase our operating costs.
In February 2024, the EPA lowered the primary annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“NAAQS”) for particulate matter (“PM2.5””) from 12.0 µg/m3 to 9.0 µg/m3. Lowering of the NAAQS and subsequent designation as a nonattainment area could result in increased costs associated with, or result in cancellation or delay of, capital projects at our or our customers’ facilities, or could require emission reductions that could result in increased costs to us or our customers. The final rule is under appeal, and on November 24, 2025, the EPA filed a motion indicating the rule had been issued in error and asked the court to vacate the rule. We cannot predict the effects of the various state implementation plan requirements at this time.
In California, the Governing Board for the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) adopted Rule 1109.1 in November 2021, which establishes Best Available Retrofit Control Technology (“BARCT”) oxides of nitrogen (“NOx”) and carbon monoxide (“CO”) emission limits for combustion equipment at petroleum refineries. To comply with Rule 1109.1, the Los Angeles Refinery has established a facility mass emission cap, which is being phased in through 2032. To date, the refinery has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2, which has resulted in the refinery achieving over 80 percent of the required NOx emissions reductions. The remaining 20 percent of NOx reductions required under Phase 3 must be completed by 2032. The rule has resulted, and will result, in increased costs to operate and maintain our Los Angeles Refinery.
Water
Our operations are subject to the CWA, the Safe Drinking Water Act (“SWDA”) and comparable state and local requirements. These laws prohibit discharge into surface waters, ground waters, injection wells and publicly-owned treatment works except in conformance with legal authorization. We maintain numerous pre-treatment permits and discharge permits as required under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program of the CWA and have implemented systems to oversee our compliance with these permits. The CWA also regulates filling or discharges to wetlands and other “waters of the United States.” The scope of water bodies and wetlands covered under the definition of “waters of the United States” has evolved through various rulemakings and court decisions. To the extent the federal rule does not apply, an analogous state law may apply.
In addition, we are regulated under OPA-90, which, among other things, requires the owner or operator of a tank vessel or a facility to maintain an emergency plan to respond to releases of oil or hazardous substances. OPA-90 also requires the responsible company to pay resulting removal costs and damages and provides for civil penalties and criminal sanctions for violations of its provisions. We operate tank vessels and facilities from which spills of oil and hazardous substances could occur. We have implemented emergency oil response plans for all of our components and facilities covered by OPA-90 and we have established Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures plans for all facilities subject to such requirements. Some coastal states in which we operate have passed state laws similar to OPA-90, but with expanded liability provisions, that include provisions for cargo owner responsibility as well as ship owner and operator responsibility.
As part of our emergency response activities, we have used aqueous film forming foam (“AFFF”) containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) chemicals as a vapor and fire suppressant. At this time, AFFFs containing PFAS are the most effective foams to prevent and control a flammable petroleum-based liquid fire involving a large storage tank or tank containment area. Fluorine-free firefighting foams are currently under development but have not yet proven to be as effective as AFFFs containing PFAS for all applications.

In May 2016, the EPA issued lifetime health advisory levels (“HALs”) and health effects support documents for two PFAS substances - perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”). These HALs were updated in June 2022, when the EPA also issued HALs for two additional PFAS substances. In February 2019, the EPA issued a PFAS Action Plan identifying actions it is planning to take to study and regulate various PFAS chemicals. The EPA identified that it would evaluate, among other actions, (1) proposing national drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS, (2) developing cleanup recommendations for PFOA and PFOS, (3) evaluating the listing of PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances under CERCLA, and (4) conducting toxicity assessments for other PFAS chemicals. Also, on April 26, 2024, the EPA issued a final rule establishing national drinking water standards for PFOS, PFOA, perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (“PFHxS”), perfluorononanoic acid (“PFNA”), perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (“PFBS”), and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid and its ammonium salt (also known as “GenX”). Congress may also take further action to regulate PFAS. We cannot currently predict the impact of these regulations on our operations.
In addition, many states are actively proposing and adopting legislation and regulations relating to the use of AFFFs containing PFAS. Additionally, many states are using the EPA HALs for PFOS and PFOA and some states are adopting and proposing state-specific drinking water and cleanup standards for various PFAS, including but not limited to PFOS and PFOA. We cannot currently predict the impact of these regulations on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
Solid and Hazardous Waste
We continue to seek methods to minimize the generation of solid and hazardous wastes in our operations. RCRA establishes standards for the management of solid and hazardous wastes. We may incur liability under RCRA, and comparable or more stringent state statutes, which impose requirements relating to the handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes. It is possible that some wastes generated by us that are currently classified as non-hazardous wastes may in the future be designated as hazardous wastes, resulting in the wastes being subject to more rigorous and costly transportation, storage, treatment and disposal requirements. Besides affecting waste disposal practices, RCRA also addresses the environmental effects of certain past waste disposal operations, the recycling of wastes and the regulation of USTs containing regulated substances.
Remediation
We own or operate, or have owned or operated, certain convenience stores and other locations where, during the normal course of operations, releases of refined products from USTs have occurred. Federal and state laws require that contamination caused by such releases at these sites be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. A portion of these remediation costs may be recoverable from the appropriate state UST reimbursement funds once the applicable deductibles have been satisfied. We also have ongoing remediation projects at a number of our current and former refinery and midstream locations. For a discussion of environmental capital expenditures and costs of compliance, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs.
Claims under CERCLA and similar state acts have been raised with respect to the clean-up of various waste disposal and other sites. CERCLA is intended to facilitate the clean-up of hazardous substances without regard to fault. Potentially responsible parties for each site include present and former owners and operators of, transporters to and generators of the hazardous substances at the site. Liability is strict and can be joint and several. Because of various factors including the difficulty of identifying the responsible parties for any particular site, the complexity of determining the relative liability among them, the uncertainty as to the most desirable remediation techniques and the amount of damages and clean-up costs and the time period during which such costs may be incurred, we are unable to reasonably estimate our ultimate cost of compliance with CERCLA; however, we do not believe such costs will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. RCRA and similar state laws may also impose liability for removing or remediating releases of hazardous or non-hazardous wastes from impacted properties.
The EPA’s rule designating PFOS and PFOA as hazardous substances under CERCLA Section 102(a) became effective on July 8, 2024. The rule has been challenged in court. In addition, the EPA has received three petitions requesting regulatory action on PFAS under RCRA and in February 2024, proposed two regulations that would add nine PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS, to the list of RCRA hazardous constituents and broaden the definition of hazardous waste applicable to corrective action requirements at hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. We cannot currently predict the impact of potential statutes or regulations on our remediation costs.
Vehicle and Fuel Requirements
Fuel Economy and GHG Emission Standards for Vehicles
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) establishes corporate average fuel economy (“CAFE”) standards for passenger cars and light trucks. In December 2025, NHTSA proposed to amend the fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years (“MYs") 2022–2026 and MYs 2027–2031. In its proposal, NHTSA stated that it could not consider battery-powered electric vehicles (“EVs”) when setting the revised standards. NHTSA predicts that the revised standards equate to an industry fleetwide average of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon (“mpg”) for MY 2031.
In 2009, the EPA determined the GHG emissions from motor vehicles contributed to the greenhouse gas pollution that threatens public health and welfare (“Endangerment Finding”). As a result, the EPA began setting GHG emission standards for vehicles,
12
Table of Contents
which increased in stringency over time and would require a significant increase in electric vehicle production to meet the standards. In February 2026, the EPA rescinded the Endangerment Finding and revoked all existing GHG emission standards for vehicles. The EPA will continue to regulate traditional air pollutants from motor vehicles. The EPA’s rescission of the Endangerment Finding and elimination of the GHG Emission standards has been challenged in court.
In addition, California may establish different, more stringent vehicle standards that could apply in multiple states if granted a Clean Air Act waiver by the EPA. In January 2025, the EPA granted California a waiver for its Advanced Clean Cars II regulation, which bans the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles in California in 2035. Congress, however, disapproved the EPA’s waiver through the Congressional Review Act process, which means the waiver is no longer valid and California cannot enforce its Advanced Clean Cars II program. California has challenged Congress’s disapproval in court.
Renewable Fuels Standards and Low Carbon Fuel Standards
Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the EISA, Congress established a Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) program that requires annual volumes of renewable fuel be blended into domestic transportation fuel. The statutory volumes apply through calendar year 2022. After calendar year 2022, the statute gives the EPA the authority to set the annual volumes. The EPA has proposed annual volumes for 2026 and 2027 that increase the volume of renewable fuel that must be blended year over year. The EPA is also considering reallocation of small refinery exempted volumes to the non-exempt refineries.
There is currently no regulatory method for verifying the validity of most RINs sold on the open market. We have developed a RIN integrity program to vet the RINs that we purchase, and we incur costs to audit RIN generators. Nevertheless, if any of the RINs that we purchase and use for compliance are found to be invalid, we could incur costs and penalties for replacing the invalid RINs.
In addition to the federal Renewable Fuel Standards, certain states have, or are considering, promulgation of state renewable or low carbon fuel standards. For example, California has implemented a low carbon fuel standard program that requires a reduction in the carbon intensity of liquid fuel sold for use in the state over time. We incur costs to comply with these state low carbon fuel standard programs, and these costs may increase if the cost of credits increases.
In sum, the RFS has required, and may in the future continue to require, additional capital expenditures or expenses by us to accommodate increased renewable fuels use. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined products being replaced by renewable fuels. Demand for our refined products also may decrease as a result of low carbon fuel standard programs or electric vehicle mandates.
Safety Matters
We are subject to oversight pursuant to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSH Act”), as well as comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. We believe that we have conducted our operations in substantial compliance with regulations promulgated pursuant to the OSH Act, including general industry standards, record-keeping requirements and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.
We are also subject at regulated facilities to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Process Safety Management and the EPA’s Risk Management Program (“RMP”) requirements, which are intended to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. In 2024, the EPA finalized revisions to its RMP regulation. The revisions include a requirement that refineries with hydrofluoric acid alkylation units perform a safer technologies and alternatives analysis as part of the process hazard analysis and to document the feasibility of inherent safety measures. The application of these regulations can result in increased compliance expenditures. Additionally, three non-governmental organizations have filed a lawsuit asking the court to order the EPA to issue a rule under TSCA that would mitigate, or potentially ban, the use of hydrofluoric acid at petroleum refineries. The Western States Petroleum Association has moved to intervene in the lawsuit.
In general, we expect industry and regulatory safety standards to become more stringent over time, resulting in increased compliance expenditures. While these expenditures cannot be accurately estimated at this time, we do not expect such expenditures will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) has adopted safety regulations with respect to the design, construction, operation, maintenance, inspection and management of our pipeline assets. These regulations contain requirements for the development and implementation of pipeline integrity management programs, which include the inspection and testing of pipelines and the correction of anomalies. These regulations also require that pipeline operation and maintenance personnel meet certain qualifications and that pipeline operators develop comprehensive spill response plans.
Security
We have several facilities that are subject to the United States Coast Guard’s Maritime Transportation Security Act, and a number of other facilities that are subject to the Transportation Security Administration’s Pipeline Security Guidelines and are designated as “Critical Facilities.” We have an internal inspection program designed to monitor and ensure compliance with all of these requirements. We believe that we are in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the security of our facilities.

Tribal Lands
Various federal agencies, including the EPA and the Department of the Interior, along with certain Native American tribes, promulgate and enforce regulations pertaining to oil and gas operations on Native American tribal lands where we operate. These regulations include such matters as lease provisions, drilling and production requirements, and standards to protect environmental quality and cultural resources. In addition, each Native American tribe is a sovereign nation having the right to enforce certain laws and regulations and to grant approvals independent from federal, state and local statutes and regulations. These laws and regulations may increase our costs of doing business on Native American tribal lands and impact the viability of, or prevent or delay our ability to conduct, our operations on such lands.
TRADEMARKS, PATENTS AND LICENSES
Our Marathon and ARCO trademarks are material to the conduct of our refining and marketing operations. We currently hold a number of U.S. and foreign patents and have various pending patent applications. Although in the aggregate our patents and licenses are important to us, we do not regard any single patent or license or group of related patents or licenses as critical or essential to our business as a whole. In general, we depend on our technological capabilities and the application of know-how rather than patents and licenses in the conduct of our operations.
HUMAN CAPITAL
We believe our employees are our greatest asset of strength, and our culture reflects the quality of individuals across our workforce. Our collaborative efforts, which include fostering an inclusive environment, providing broad-based development and mentorship opportunities, recognizing and rewarding accomplishments and offering benefits that support the well-being of our employees and their families, contribute to increased engagement and fulfilling careers. Empowering our people and prioritizing accountability are also key components for developing MPC’s high-performing culture, which is critical to achieving our strategic vision.
Employee Profile
As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 18,500 people in full-time and part-time roles. Many of these employees provide services to MPLX, for which we are reimbursed in accordance with employee service agreements. Approximately 3,800 of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Safety
We are committed to safe operations to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities. Our commitment to safe operations is reflected in our safety systems design, our well-maintained equipment and by learning from our incidents. Part of our effort to promote safety includes our Operational Excellence Management System, which expands on the RC14001® scope, incorporates a Plan-Do-Check-Act continual improvement cycle, and aligns with ISO 9001, incorporating quality and an increased stakeholder and process focus. Together, these components of our safety management system provide us with a comprehensive approach to managing risks and preventing incidents, illnesses and fatalities. Additionally, our annual cash bonus program includes a broad set of measures tied to safety, environmental stewardship and human capital management.
Talent Management
Our People Strategy holistically addresses the dynamic business environment we operate in. It enables us to be an employer of choice in the face of shifting talent needs and availability. Executing our People Strategy requires that we attract and retain the best talent with the right skills and capabilities when we need them. Attracting and retaining top talent involves presenting employees with the tools for success and providing opportunities for long-term engagement and career advancement. MPC also provides job architecture with defined skills and competencies, along with tools and people processes to identify skill gaps and support career development to help our employees grow. Our Talent Acquisition team consists of three segments: Executive Recruiting, Experienced Recruiting and University Recruiting. The specialization within each group allows us to specifically address MPC’s broad range of current and future talent needs, as well as devote time and attention to candidates during the hiring process. We believe each candidate brings a new perspective to our workforce, and we actively seek candidates with a variety of backgrounds and experience.
We equip our employees at every level with classroom training, online courses and on the job activities that provide the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their daily job functions safely and successfully. Simultaneously, we support our employees with a wide range of career development programs, tools, and key talent processes to help them advance and grow their careers within MPC.
Compensation and Benefits
To ensure we are offering competitive pay packages, we annually benchmark compensation, including base salaries, bonus levels and long-term incentive targets. Our annual bonus program, for which all employees are eligible, is a critical component of our compensation as it rewards employees for MPC’s achievement against preset goals, encouraging employee commitment
14
Table of Contents
and ownership of results. Employees in our senior leader pay grades, as well as most other leaders, receive long-term incentive awards annually to align their compensation to the interests of MPC shareholders and MPLX unitholders.
We offer comprehensive benefits that are also benchmarked annually, including medical, dental and vision insurance for our employees, their spouses or domestic partners, and their dependents. We also provide retirement programs, including a 401(k) plan and active defined benefit plan, life insurance, family building and support programs, sick and disability benefits, education assistance, as well as support the well-being of our employees and their families through a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program and financial wellness tools. In addition, we encourage our employees to refresh and recharge by providing competitive vacation programs and paid parental leave benefits for birth mothers and nonbirth parents. Further, we award a significant number of college and trade school scholarships to high school senior children of our employees through the Marathon Petroleum Scholars Program. Both full-time and part-time employees are eligible for these benefits.
Inclusion
Inclusion is embedded in our People Strategy, guided by our core values, and supported by a dedicated team of subject matter experts and leadership. Our approach is grounded in our belief that a workplace where employees feel respected, supported and empowered to contribute their best leads to better performance and safer operations. By embedding inclusion and opportunity into the way we work, we strengthen collaboration, fuel innovation and position MPC for long-term success.
We promote inclusivity and respect among our employees. We recognize that when employees feel valued, it shows in their performance. Our employee networks demonstrate this by offering voluntary opportunities for employees to connect with others. Any employee may choose to join any of the seven groups - ADAPT, ARISE, FAMILIA, HONOR, HOPE, PRIDE, and PROMISE. Led by employees with involvement and support from executive sponsors, our networks connect colleagues from across the company and provide opportunities for development, networking, and community involvement.
