(“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced its second quarter 2026 results including a net loss attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $3 million, or 3 cents per diluted share, and an adjusted earnings per diluted share of 34 cents, compared to net loss attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $114 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, and an adjusted loss per diluted share of 23 cents for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $209 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $99 million for the second quarter of 2025. “CVR Energy posted another quarter of strong operating results across our system, with crude utilization of 98 percent and ammonia plant utilization of 99 percent,” said Dane Neumann, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “The ongoing global conflicts have created tightness across energy and fertilizer markets. We continue to believe our assets are well-positioned to benefit from these market conditions and are pleased to announce a cash dividend of 10 cents per share for the second quarter. Looking ahead, we remain laser focused on pursuing accretive growth and believe current market conditions could support these efforts, as well as opportunities to reduce leverage and add value for our shareholders. “With solid results for the quarter, CVR Partners declared a distribution of $6.08 per common unit,” Neumann continued. “The planned turnaround at the East Dubuque fertilizer facility is expected to begin in August, during which we plan to complete the brownfield ammonia expansion that is expected to increase production capacity by approximately 5%.” Segment Highlights Below are financial and operational highlights of each of the Company’s reportable segments: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Petroleum Segment Petroleum net (loss) income (in millions) $ 12 $ (137 ) $ (182 ) $ (297 ) Petroleum EBITDA* (in millions) 58 (84 ) (81 ) (202 ) Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA* (in millions) 106 38 56 7 Total throughput barrels per day 212,965 172,149 213,613 146,406 Refining margin* ($ per throughput barrel) $ 9.94 $ 2.21 $ 5.04 $ 1.14 Adjusted refining margin* ($ per throughput barrel) 12.43 9.95 8.59 9.04 Direct operating expenses* ($ per throughput barrel) 5.93 6.45 6.02 7.32 Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment Nitrogen Fertilizer net income (in millions) $ 78 $ 39 $ 127 $ 66 Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA* (in millions) 107 67 185 120 Ammonia utilization rate (percent of capacity utilization) 99 % 91 % 101 % 96 % Ammonia sales volumes (thousands of tons) 54 57 127 117 UAN sales volumes (thousands of tons) 333 345 643 681 Ammonia pricing at gate ($ per ton) $ 791 $ 593 $ 731 $ 573 UAN pricing at gate ($ per ton) 392 317 368 287 ____________________ * See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section below. Corporate and Other The Company reported an income tax expense of $10 million, or 17.8 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $42 million, or 31.7 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change in income tax benefit was primarily due to an increase in overall pretax earnings while the change in effective tax rate was primarily caused by changes in pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests and the impact of state tax credits relative to overall pretax earnings.

Non-GAAP Measures Our management uses certain non-GAAP measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the measures defined below. The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Refining Margin - The difference between our Petroleum Segment net sales and cost of materials and other. Adjusted Refining Margin - Refining Margin adjusted for certain significant noncash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful. Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining Margin, per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining Margin divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period. Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum Segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period. Adjusted EBITDA, Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share - Earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends. Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized turnaround expenditures. We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining and fertilizer industries, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document. Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results Our results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future for the reasons discussed below. Petroleum Segment Major Scheduled Turnaround Activities - Total capitalized turnaround expenditures as part of planned turnarounds were $1 million and $24 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1 million and $190 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices decrease. The inventory valuation impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period.
