NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The following discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK,” “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” include references to financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin; adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable); and capital investments attributable to Valero. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods, to help assess our cash flows, and because we believe they provide useful information as discussed further below. Refer to the tables in note (b), beginning on page 44, for the reconciliations of Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin and adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also in note (b), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information. See the table on page 49 for a reconciliation of capital investments attributable to Valero to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Beginning on page 48, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information.
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Overview
Business Operations Update
Our results for the first quarter of 2026 benefited from strong global demand for petroleum-based transportation fuels amid constrained worldwide supply. Geopolitical developments disrupted global commodity markets and further limited refining capacity, exacerbating the imbalance between supply and demand. These conditions led to higher market prices for petroleum-based transportation fuels, as well as increased prices for crude oil and other feedstocks used in their production. Despite higher feedstock costs, the spread between product prices and input costs resulted in strong refining margins during the first quarter of 2026. However, refining margins remain sensitive to changes in global supply and demand dynamics, feedstock costs, and geopolitical developments, and sustained price volatility or shifts in these factors could impact future results.
Our results for the first quarter of 2026 were also impacted by actions taken under our plan with respect to the operations of our Benicia Refinery. During the quarter, we began idling the processing units through a phased approach and ceased operation of the fuel production units. In accordance with our plan, full idling of all processing units was completed in April 2026. See Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Benicia Refinery.
In addition, on March 23, 2026, our Port Arthur Refinery experienced a fire in one of its distillate hydrotreater units, which prompted a full shut-down of the refinery. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the refinery has resumed operations at reduced capacity. This incident did not have a
34
material effect on our results of operations for the first quarter of 2026. See Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to this event.
The strong demand for our products and continued strength in refining margins are the primary contributors to us reporting $1.3 billion of net income attributable to Valero stockholders for the first quarter of 2026. Our operating results, including operating results by segment, are described in the following summary under “First Quarter Results” and detailed descriptions can be found under “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” beginning on page 37.
Our operations generated $1.4 billion of cash during the first quarter of 2026. Also, we issued $850 million of 5.150 percent Senior Notes due March 10, 2036 during the first quarter of 2026, as described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The cash generated by our operations was used to make $448 million of capital investments in our business and return $932 million to our stockholders through purchases of common stock for treasury and dividend payments. As a result of these items, along with the net proceeds from our debt issuance and other activities, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by $1.0 billion during the first quarter of 2026 to $5.9 billion as of March 31, 2026. We had $10.8 billion in liquidity as of March 31, 2026. The components of our liquidity and descriptions of our cash flows, capital investments, and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” beginning on page 46.
First Quarter Results
For the first quarter of 2026, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.3 billion compared to a net loss of $595 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase of $1.9 billion was primarily due to an increase in operating income of $2.6 billion, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $666 million. The details of our operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income, where applicable, by segment and in total are reflected below (in millions). Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustments reflected in the tables in note (b) beginning on page 44.

While our operating income increased by $2.6 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, adjusted operating income increased by $1.5 billion primarily due to the following:
•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income increased by $1.2 billion primarily due to higher distillate (primarily diesel) margins, an increase in crude oil differentials,
35
and an increase in throughput volumes, partially offset by lower gasoline margins and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense.
•Renewable Diesel segment. Renewable Diesel segment operating income increased by $280 million primarily due to higher product prices (primarily renewable diesel) and an increase in clean fuel production credits recognized on qualifying sales, partially offset by higher feedstock prices.
•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment operating income increased by $70 million primarily due to lower corn prices, the recognition of clean fuel production credits in 2026, and an increase in production volumes.
Outlook
Many uncertainties exist with respect to the supply and demand balances in petroleum-based product markets worldwide. While it is difficult to predict future worldwide economic and geopolitical activity and the resulting impact on product supply and demand, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the second quarter of 2026.
•Global demand for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel remains strong; however, demand growth has moderated amid market disruptions related to conflict in the Middle East.
•Continued disruption to global refining capacity is expected due to unplanned outages at refineries and export infrastructure in the Middle East and Russia resulting from ongoing conflicts in those regions as well as reduced production in other regions driven by crude supply constraints. As a result, global refined product inventories are expected to remain low.
•Crude oil differentials are expected to remain volatile as reductions in Middle Eastern sour crude oil production are expected to be only partially offset by incremental crude oil supply from other regions. In addition, ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt global transportation routes, resulting in higher freight costs that could contribute to further volatility in the crude oil market.
•Renewable diesel demand is expected to rise driven by an increase in the renewable volume obligations (RVOs) imposed by the EPA for 2026 and 2027, particularly with respect to biomass-based diesel.
•Ethanol demand is expected to follow typical seasonal patterns.
•On March 23, 2026, our Port Arthur Refinery experienced a fire in one of the refinery’s distillate hydrotreater units, which is more fully discussed in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Port Arthur Refinery has resumed operations at reduced capacity. For the second quarter of 2026, we expect throughput volumes for our Gulf Coast region to range between 1.690 to 1.740 million barrels per day, which reflects the anticipated reduction in volumes for our Port Arthur Refinery.
