Michael A. Bukowski
Thank you, Matt. Good morning, everyone. Before updating on the progress of RBI, I will provide a few comments on fourth quarter operations and our Martinez refinery. On the West Coast, I commend the Martinez team and all who have been involved in the rebuild effort. The unplanned nature of the project created a host of challenges that the organization met through creative problem-solving, ingenuity, and, above all, teamwork. The team has not only overcome these challenges, but they have executed the work so far with industry top-quartile safety performance. My thanks to all involved in the project and all the safe work that has been completed to date. Outside of Martinez, aside from a few minor issues, our refineries operated reasonably well in the quarter. We kicked off a robust 2026 capital program in January, beginning with a turnaround at Torrance. I am happy to report that the mechanical portion of the turnaround has been completed per plan and the units are in the startup phase. We have a busy year on the turnaround front in 2026. We previously provided guidance on the locations and total anticipated expenditure for the year. These activities are weighted to the beginning and end of the year, leaving Q2 and Q3 relatively light from a planned maintenance perspective. I am also happy to report that we are seeing results from our RBI program. By the end of 2025, we achieved our goal of $230,000,000 of annualized run-rate savings. This goal represents $0.50 a barrel, or approximately $160,000,000, reduction in operating expenses against our 2024 benchmark and is incorporated in our 2026 budget. Additionally, we reduced capital and turnaround expenditures by $70,000,000. While our 2026 total capital guidance is higher than 2025 on an absolute basis, this is driven by an increased level of turnaround activity. The savings reflect comparison against a year with similar scope. We started this program with centralized efforts in procurement, capital projects, organizational design, turnarounds, and site efforts at our Torrance and Delaware Valley refineries. As of today, all refineries are engaged in RBI and are contributing to the savings goals, and we are also working on a secondary cost initiative. As part of the overall RBI program, we have identified over 1,300 initiatives focused on improving operational and organizational efficiency. Some of these initiatives are small and some are in the millions of dollars in terms of benefits, but they all sum up to a more competitive and improved cost structure. The average value per initiative is in the half-$1,000,000 range, and we have implemented over 500 initiatives to date. Outside of our capital and energy initiatives, the biggest opportunity we identified is our procurement practices. We are implementing a centrally led procurement team, which brings value by leveraging our purchasing power across our refineries. Through this initiative alone, we expect to realize over $35,000,000 in annual savings by revamping our procurement model. While we are improving our maintenance efficiency and reducing energy consumption, our main priority will always be to focus on safe, reliable, and responsible operations across our system. With that, I will now turn the call over to Joseph Marino for our financial overview. Thanks, Mike. For the fourth quarter, excluding special items, we reported adjusted net income of $0.49 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $258,000,000. Our discussion of fourth quarter results excludes the net effect of special items, including $41,000,000 incremental OpEx related to the Martinez refinery, a $394,000,000 gain on insurance recoveries, a $313,000,000 LCM inventory adjustment, a $2,000,000 loss related to PBF Energy Inc.’s 50% share of SBR’s LCM adjustment for the quarter, and approximately $8,000,000 of charges associated with the RBI initiative, as well as other items detailed in the reconciling tables in today’s press release. The $394,000,000 gain on insurance recoveries related to the Martinez fire is a result of the third unallocated payment agreed to and received in the fourth quarter. This brings our total insurance recoveries in 2025 to $894,000,000, net of our deductibles and retention. Going forward, we will continue to work with our insurance providers for potential additional interim payments. However, the timing and amount of any agreed-upon future payments will be dependent on the amount of incurred, covered expenditures plus calculated business interruption losses. Our Q4 P&L reflects incremental OpEx at Martinez of $41,000,000, $164,000,000 in total year-to-date, that we are reflecting as a special item because it relates to construction of temporary equipment to restart undamaged units and other fire-related non-capital expenses. While we anticipate recovering a portion of this amount through insurance, the specific amount will be determined as we finalize the claims process. Shifting back to our normal quarterly results discussion, also included in our results is a $21,000,000 loss related to PBF Energy Inc.’s equity investment in St. Bernard Renewables. SBR produced an average of 16,700 barrels per day of renewable diesel in the fourth quarter. SBR’s production was as expected, but results reflect the impact of broader market conditions in the renewable fuel space. While we saw improved pricing on the credit side, much of this was offset by higher feedstock costs. Throughout the year, we have seen impacts from tariffs and regulatory uncertainty cascade through the feed markets. The policy landscape continues to shift, adding volatility to the business. PBF Energy Inc.’s cash flow from operations for the quarter was $367,000,000, which includes a working capital draw of approximately $80,000,000, mainly due to movements in inventories and falling commodity prices. As a preview, we expect first-quarter CapEx and working capital outflows primarily related to the Martinez restart and normal seasonal inventory patterns. Our Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share. Cash dividends paid totaled $126,000,000 in 2025. Cash invested in consolidated CapEx for the fourth quarter was $124,000,000, which includes refining, corporate, and logistics. This amount excludes fourth-quarter capital expenditures of approximately $273,000,000 related to the Martinez incident. 2025 CapEx, excluding Martinez, was approximately $629,000,000. On the surface, this figure is lower than expected, due primarily to CapEx pools that had not yet been cash settled as of year-end that will flow through this year. Given that and the noise related to the Martinez rebuild, 2025 and 2026 capital programs should be more broadly considered over a two-year period. Once the Martinez insurance claim is settled, we will be able to provide additional clarity. We ended the quarter with $528,000,000 in cash and approximately $1,600,000,000 of net debt. At quarter end, our net debt-to-cap was 28% and our current liquidity is approximately $2,300,000,000 based on current commodity prices, cash, and borrowing capacity under our ABL. Maintaining our firm financial footing and a resilient balance sheet remains a priority. As we look ahead, we expect to use periods of strength to focus on reducing both our gross and net debt. Operator, we have completed our opening remarks. We would be pleased to take any questions.
