Strategic Priorities Focus on EH&S Performance Preserve Cash Flow Maintain Balance Sheet & Liquidity Focus on Crude Oil Quality & Differentials Improve Margin Capture Focusing on improvements in Environmental, Health and Safety Matters – Safety is Job #1 Consolidated Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) declined approximately 20% in 2024 compared to 2023, including declines of approximately 18% in the Petroleum Segment and approximately 29% in the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment. We consider safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operations critical to improving EH&S performance. Refocusing capital spending on projects that are in flight and those critical to safe, reliable operations while also working on internal cost cutting initiatives Focused on executing the turnaround underway at the Coffeyville refinery safely and efficiently. Given current market conditions, we expect to focus capital spending on projects supportive of safe, reliable operations and projects currently underway. Also working on internal cost cutting initiatives, including limited hiring and eliminating waste wherever possible. Positioning to strengthen the balance sheet to navigate current market conditions Preserving our balance sheet with total liquidity position of approximately $1.1 billion excluding CVR Partners at the end of 4Q 2024. Total liquidity comprised of $896 million of cash and availability under the CVR Energy ABL of $238 million. • Dividend suspended in 3Q and 4Q 2024 to maximize liquidity and support turnaround operations currently in process. • Closed $325 million Term Loan Credit Facility and sold Midway JV interest for gross proceeds of $90 million to further enhance liquidity. Leveraging our strategic location and proprietary gathering system to deliver high value neat crude oils to our refineries Ensuring our refinery configurations maximize the netbacks for the crude oils available in our operating regions. Focused on leveraging our gathering systems, trucking operations and pipelines to create the greatest value over time. Exploring opportunities to improve margin capture across all businesses through feedstock and yield optimizations In the Petroleum segment, we will aggressively pursue Small Refinery Exemptions at Wynnewood while focusing on maximizing production of distillate (diesel and jet fuel) and premium gasoline at both refineries. In the Renewables segment, we are exploring ways to increase production volumes and yield improvements while processing more low-carbon intensity (“CI”) feedstocks. In the Fertilizer segment, we are investing to improve reliability at both facilities and optimizing feedstocks at Coffeyville. 4
Capital Allocation Strategy Safety, reliability and environmental compliance are core to CVR’s management philosophy Approximately $100MM in annual sustaining and regulatory capex, allocated to assets through a continuous assessment process. Run-rate annual refining turnaround investment of $75MM over a five-year cycle to maximize asset utilization and reduce downtime exposure. Optimizing significant turnaround operations to be scheduled around periods with lower opportunity cost. Strategically invest in asset development and businesses that diversify and enhance core assets 30% target IRR for traditional refining organic projects. 20% target IRR for renewables- focused investments as these assets typically garner higher multiples. Evaluate merger and acquisition activity as opportunities arise that diversify market exposure or offer significant synergy. Maintain an attractive investment profile by focusing on free cash flow generation and balance sheet strength Explore potential divestiture of non-core assets. Support adequate liquidity to operate the business while returning or investing excess cash. Maintain debt levels and capital structure profile in line with or better than peer group. Continually re-evaluate the CVI’s dividend policy. Create long-term value through safe, reliable operations while continuously optimizing core refining, renewables, fertilizer and associated logistics assets; Invest in high return projects that are complimentary to existing assets and improve feedstock supply or improve capture rate and product placement; Protect the balance sheet by maintaining appropriate liquidity, reducing cost of capital and optimizing capital structure; and Provide above-average cash returns to investors through dividends/distributions when supported by market conditions and deemed appropriate by our Boards of Directors. 5 The decision to suspend the 3Q and 4Q dividends reflects uncertainty as to the expected duration of current market conditions taking into consideration the turnaround currently underway at the Coffeyville refinery.

Historical space on key pipelines provide a variety of crude oil supply options in addition to gathered crude oils. Contracted space on Keystone and Spearhead pipelines for up to 35,000 bpd of Canadian crude oil deliveries. Mid-Continent Refineries Crude Oil Sourcing Optionality (1) Includes assets owned and leased by CVR. (2) As of February 27, 2025. (2)
Strategically Located Mid-Con Refineries Multiple Product Sales Outlets Focused on maximizing refined product netbacks and participating in renewable fuel blending economics and internal generation of RINs whenever possible. While the two refineries have different opportunities and blending constraints, on a consolidated basis for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024: Approximately 22% of refined product sales were across CVR’s refinery racks where we have opportunities to participate in renewable blending economics and internal generation of RINs. Approximately 30% of product sales were across Oneok and NuStar racks where we have opportunities to participate in renewable blending economics and capture of RINs at certain locations. Approximately 48% of product sales were to the bulk market where we do not participate in renewable blending. 7

Renewables Segment 11 KSAAT Project at Wynnewood Renewable diesel margins impacted by several factors: HOBO spread - spread between ULSD and Soybean oil prices Feedstock basis - transportation cost + premium for pretreated material RINs prices - 1.7 D4 Biodiesel RINs generated per gallon of renewable diesel produced LCFS credit prices - CI of feedstock utilized impacts value of LCFS credits Other credits – $1/gal Blenders’ Tax Credit (“BTC”) expired December 31, 2024; formal IRS rule making for the Clean Fuel Production Credit (“PTC”) has not been issued, but likely less favorable than the BTC Key Differentiator vs Other Projects: CVR Energy plans to retain the flexibility to return the unit to hydrocarbon processing and/or install another reactor on the diesel hydrotreater to regain lost hydrocarbon processing capacity if dictated by the margin environment and otherwise approved. Wynnewood Renewable Diesel Highlights Given the reliance on government credits to support profitability in the Renewables segment and the continued uncertainty around U.S. government credit programs, we are pausing active marketing of additional Renewables growth projects. We intend to continue operating the Wynnewood RDU until we get clarity on the BTC or PTC.
Capital Expenditures and Turnarounds Note: As of December 31, 2024. Maintenance capex estimated at $73MM to $87MM. Growth capex estimated at $37MM to $48MM. Wynnewood Alky Project accounts for a significant portion of the expected 2025 growth capex spend. Other margin capture investments include projects to increase distillate yield and facilitate production of jet fuel at the Coffeyville Refinery Coffeyville Refinery’s large turnaround began in 1Q 2025 and is expected to last approximately 55 to 60 days, with a total cost estimate of approximately $175MM to $200MM. Currently exploring opportunities to optimize the turnaround schedule at the Coffeyville Refinery to better balance spending and increase overall throughput volumes over the turnaround cycle. Wynnewood’s planned turnaround completed in the spring of 2024 with a total cost of approximately $45MM. Next planned turnaround at Wynnewood currently scheduled for 2027. Petroleum & Renewables estimated 2025 Capex of $110MM - $135MM 2025 Turnaround Spending of $170MM - $180MM 12

14 Stable Trends in Fertilizer Supply & Demand Source: USDA, Fertecon US Nitrogen SupplyCorn Stocks to Use Fertilizers typically represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improve yields. USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2024/2025 at approximately 10%. Nitrogen fertilizer pricing has stabilized recently, and U.S. producers remain at the low end of global cost curve due to low natural gas prices. Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market. Reduced global supply of nitrogen fertilizers due to production curtailments in Europe and restrictions on exports from China. U.S. has become an exporter of nitrogen fertilizer to Europe.
Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. Source: USDA Economic Research Service and USDA WASDE. (1) Based on 2020 – 2024 average. 15 Corn has a variety of uses and applications, including feed grains, ethanol for fuel, and food, seed and industrial (FSI) Feed grains ~96% of domestic feed grains are supplied by corn Consumes ~39% of annual corn crop(1) Ethanol Consumes ~36% of annual corn crop(1) Drop in demand for corn in 2021 was impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19 Increased export volumes more than offset temporary demand loss from ethanol Corn production typically driven more by yield than acres planted Nitrogen fertilizer is generally low on the cost curve for farmers U.S. Domestic Corn Use Domestic Corn Planted Acres and Yield per Acre Historical Corn Pricing $4.82
USDA estimated 90.7 million acres of corn were planted in 2024 with harvested acres of 82.7 million and yields of 183.1 bushels per acre, resulting in carryout inventories below the ten-year average. Harvest completed in early November and demand was high for Fall ammonia application, although weather was an issue for application in some regions. Corn Belt UAN and Ammonia market prices for 4Q approximately $250/ton and $595/ton, respectively. Spot natural gas prices increased in the United States, approaching $4 per MMBtu, although remained well below TTF prices over $15 per MMBtu. USDA estimates for corn yields were reduced to 179.3 bushels per acre on 90.6 million acres of corn planted, resulting in carryout inventories of approximately 10%, below the 10-year average. Initial expectations for 2025 corn planted acres range between 91 and 94 million acres. Inventories of nitrogen fertilizers across the industry were tight normal starting the new year after a robust fall application period. December 2025 corn futures prices over $4.70bu. With solid farm economics projected for 2025 the outlook and an expected increase in corn acres planted relative to 2024, the near-term outlook for nitrogen fertilizer demand is good. Southern Plains to Corn Belt UAN and ammonia prices for spring delivery are approximately $300 - $335/ton and $530 - $650/ton, respectively. Summer Ammonia and UAN fill were completed in June, and Ammonia prepay for 4Q shipment was completed in early July. Demand for nitrogen looked strong going into 4Q, consistent with the buying taking place by retailers and growers in solid financial condition. Corn Belt UAN and Ammonia prices for 4Q delivery were approximately $230 - $250/ton and $500 - $550/ton, respectively. Grain prices softened on concerns over global demand and potential large U.S. crop production. USDA was estimating corn stocks-to-use ratio of approximately 14%. Growers were expected to apply fertilizer in the Fall at similar rates to last year in efforts to maximize yield potential in a lower price environment. 2 0 2 5 Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions 2 0 2 4 Summer Spring Fertilizer application started earlier than normal and activity levels were high through March; sporadic activity in April and May allowed enough downtime for producer inventories to rebuild across the system. USDA was estimating planted corn acreage to be 91 million in 2024, compared to 95 million in 2023. Corn Belt and UAN and ammonia prices for spring delivery are approximately $275 - $280 per ton and $575 - $590 per ton, respectively. 16 Winter Fall
