In Marketing, the U.S. West Coast retail joint venture recently completed the previously announced acquisition of 95 sites.

With our dedicated employees, diversified portfolio and financial strength, Phillips 66 is well positioned to successfully manage through the current environment. We remain committed to operating excellence, a strong balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation and delivering returns to shareholders.”
