October 22, 2026 6:30 AM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO, “Valero”) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $6.8 billion, or $23.89 per share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.1 billion, or $3.53 per share, for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release tables, adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders for the third quarter of 2026 was $6.8 billion, or $23.90 per share, compared to $1.1 billion, or $3.66 per share, for the third quarter of 2025.

“Our refineries operated at near-record utilization rates, providing a reliable supply of critical transportation fuels during the quarter,” said Lane Riggs, Valero’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “We also completed the St. Charles FCC Unit optimization project, which increases the production capacity of higher value products, including alkylate and gasoline, further strengthening our ability to supply transportation fuels to the market.”

Refining

The Refining segment reported operating income of $8.8 billion for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2026 was $8.8 billion, compared to $1.7 billion for the third quarter of 2025. Refining throughput volumes averaged 3.0 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2026.

Renewable Diesel

The Renewable Diesel segment, which consists of the Diamond Green Diesel joint venture (DGD), reported operating income of $353 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $28 million for the third quarter of 2025. Segment sales volumes averaged 3.4 million gallons per day in the third quarter of 2026.

The Ethanol segment reported operating income of $272 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $183 million for the third quarter of 2025. Ethanol production volumes averaged 4.8 million gallons per day in the third quarter of 2026, setting a new quarterly record.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative expenses were $308 million in the third quarter of 2026. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 was 23 percent.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 billion in the third quarter of 2026. Included in this amount was a $526 million unfavorable impact from working capital and $205 million of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities associated with the other joint venture member’s share of DGD. Excluding these items, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities was $7.3 billion in the third quarter of 2026.

Capital investments totaled $432 million in the third quarter of 2026, of which $371 million was for sustaining the business, including costs for turnarounds, catalysts and regulatory compliance. Excluding capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member’s share of DGD and other variable interest entities, capital investments attributable to Valero were $429 million in the third quarter of 2026.

Valero stockholder cash returns resulted in a payout ratio of 52 percent of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities.

Liquidity and Financial Position

Valero repaid the outstanding principal balances of $100 million of its 7.65% Debentures that matured in July and $426 million of its 3.400% Senior Notes that matured in September. Valero ended the third quarter of 2026 with $8.6 billion of total debt, $2.4 billion of total finance lease obligations, and $9.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capitalization ratio, net of cash and cash equivalents, was 4 percent as of September 30, 2026.

“Our third-quarter performance underscores the quality of our assets and our consistent operational, commercial, and financial performance,” said Riggs. “This is a result of the long-term strategy that we’ve been committed to for well over a decade.”

Strategic Update

During the third quarter, Valero completed the FCC Unit optimization project at the St. Charles Refinery on schedule and within budget. The project is now operational and is expected to enhance the refinery’s ability to produce higher-value products.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

(a)

Cost of materials and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes a benefit of $44 million resulting from the liquidation of certain LIFO inventory layers attributable to our Refining segment. Inventory levels for our West Coast refining operations decreased during 2026 due to the phased idling of processing units and cessation of refining operations at our Benicia Refinery, which was completed by the end of April 2026. Consequently, inventory levels at December 31, 2026 are expected to remain below those at December 31, 2025.

(b)

Taxes other than income taxes includes excise taxes on sales by certain of our foreign operations.

(c)

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes employee retention and separation costs of $50 million related to the Benicia Refinery. In connection with our plan to cease refining operations at the Benicia Refinery, we implemented a transition plan for eligible employees that included retention incentive payments and separation benefits.

(d)

In March 2025, we approved a plan to idle the processing units and cease refining operations at our Benicia Refinery by the end of April 2026. In addition, we considered strategic alternatives for our remaining operations in California. As a result, we evaluated the assets of the Benicia and Wilmington refineries for impairment as of March 31, 2025 and concluded that the carrying values of these assets were not recoverable. Therefore, we reduced the carrying values of the Benicia and Wilmington refineries to their estimated fair values and recognized a combined asset impairment loss of $1.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(e)

Other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes $4 million and $19 million, respectively, of repair costs directly attributable to the March 2026 incident at our Port Arthur Refinery.

(f)

During the first quarter of 2026, we began idling the processing units through a phased approach and ceased operation of the fuel production units at our Benicia Refinery. In accordance with our plan, full idling of all processing units was completed in April 2026. Effective in the second quarter of 2026, activities associated with the decommissioning and redevelopment of our Benicia Refinery are reported within Corporate and Other.

(g)

Depreciation and amortization expense includes incremental depreciation expense of approximately $133 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and approximately $100 million and $200 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, related to the Benicia Refinery. In connection with our phased plan to idle the processing units and cease refining operations at our Benicia Refinery, we shortened the estimated useful life of the refinery, and as a result, the revised carrying value of the refinery’s long-lived assets was depreciated to the estimated salvage value.

(h)

We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

Non-GAAP measures are as follows:

We use certain operating statistics (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and the accompanying earnings release to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.

All per barrel of throughput, per gallon of sales, and per gallon of production amounts are calculated by dividing the associated dollar amount by the throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the period, as applicable.

Throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, sales volumes per day, and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the Refining segment, Renewable Diesel segment, and Ethanol segment, respectively, due to their general use by others who operate facilities similar to those included in our segments. We believe the use of such volumes results in per unit amounts that are most representative of the product margins generated and the operating costs incurred as a result of our operation of those facilities.

(l)

The RVO cost represents the average market cost on a per barrel basis to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard program. The RVO cost is calculated by multiplying (i) the average market price during the applicable period for the RINs associated with each class of renewable fuel (i.e., biomass-based diesel, cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel) by (ii) the quotas for the volume of each class of renewable fuel that must be blended into petroleum-based transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., as set or proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, on a percentage basis for each class of renewable fuel and adding together the results of each calculation.
