Refining segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(212.1) million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to income of $916.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $(88.8) million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1,034.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the Lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 of $110.0 million compared to $1,007.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was principally driven by lower adjusted refinery gross margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions as a result of high global supply of transportation fuels across the industry, which were partially offset by higher refined product sales volumes. Adjusted refinery gross margin was $10.79 per produced barrel sold, a 59% decrease compared to $26.27 for the third quarter of 2023. Crude oil charge averaged 607,010 barrels per day ("BPD") for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 601,930 BPD for the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily a result of improved reliability and decreased turnaround activities at our refineries compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Renewables segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(23.1) million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to income of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $(1.7) million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $22.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the Lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower indicator margins despite increased sales volumes and feedstock optimization in the third quarter of 2024. Total sales volumes were 69 million gallons for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 55 million gallons for the third quarter of 2023.

Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $15.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $22.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $21.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher margins in the third quarter of 2024. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 365 million gallons for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 398 million gallons for the third quarter of 2023.

Lubricants & Specialties segment income before interest and income taxes was $54.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $95.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $76.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $117.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by a $26.7 million FIFO charge from consumption of higher priced feedstock inventory in the third quarter of 2024 compared to a $29.9 million FIFO benefit in the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by increased sales volumes, sales mix optimization and base oil integration in the third quarter of 2024.

Midstream segment income before interest and income taxes was $80.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $78.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $96.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $96.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. Excluding certain items, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $111.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $100.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from increased volumes and higher tariffs in the third quarter of 2024.

For the third quarter of 2024, net cash provided by operations totaled $707.6 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company's Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,229.5 million, a $124.3 million decrease over Cash and cash equivalents of $1,353.7 million at December 31, 2023.
