PBF Guidance Update and Outlook
We are committed to running all of our assets in a safe, reliable and environmentally responsible manner, and continuing to progress our RBI program, which is focused on improving reliability and efficiency across our system. In 2025, the RBI program generated in excess of $230 million of run-rate cost improvements and that total is expected to grow to more than $350 million of run-rate cost improvements by year-end 2026. The RBI program is an ongoing, sustained initiative that continues to gain momentum in improving PBF\'s cost structure and we expect to continue this effort beyond our current goals. Concurrent with the goal of improving system-wide reliability and efficiency, we expect to realize these benefits of the RBI program in our refinery operating expenses and our capital and turnaround programs.

During the second quarter, PBF reduced net debt by over 62% by fully paying down its asset-backed lending facility and refinancing approximately $802 million of senior notes due 2028 using available cash and proceeds from the issuance of $500 million of senior notes due 2034, an aggregate gross debt reduction of over $1 billion. At quarter-end, we had approximately $894 million of cash, $1,749 million of total debt, and $855 million of net debt.

PBF\'s initial turnaround planning guidance for 2026 included five major turnarounds across our system. We completed the Torrance turnaround in the first quarter, and, after careful evaluation and safety inspections, we elected to move the scheduled Martinez second quarter hydrocracker complex turnaround to the end of the third quarter. Additionally, after further diligent review, we elected to move the planned fourth quarter turnarounds at both Chalmette and Toledo to 2027. During the second quarter, we performed unplanned work at Toledo which afforded us the opportunity to safely extend the run-time for our FCC complex. As a result, we are reducing our 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $825-$875 million for the year, excluding capital related to the Martinez rebuild.
