Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Refining segment adjusted EBITDA swung to $155.3 million in Q1 2026 from a loss of $27.0 million a year earlier, with benchmark crack spreads up 63.8% year-over-year.
  • Completed the Big Spring refinery turnaround safely, within budget and on time, with no further planned turnarounds expected.
  • Raised the Enterprise Optimization Plan run-rate cash flow improvement target to ~$220 million from ~$200 million, with ~$60 million expected to flow to the 2026 P&L.
  • Logistics segment delivered its best first quarter to date at ~$132 million adjusted EBITDA despite a ~$10 million winter storm Fern headwind.
  • Refinanced revolving credit facilities for both Delek and DKL, increasing consolidated borrowing capacity by $300 million and extending maturities to 2031.
  • DKL drilled its first acid gas injection well, advancing its comprehensive sour gas solution and targeting DKL third-party EBITDA above 80% on a 2026 pro forma basis.

Risks & pressure points

  • Reported a Q1 2026 GAAP net loss of $201.3 million, or $3.34 per share.
  • Excluding the $82 million RVO exemption benefit, adjusted EBITDA was only $129.4 million and adjusted EPS was a loss of $0.98 per share.
  • Supply and Marketing segment was a ~$61 million loss, including a $27.1 million wholesale marketing loss and a $12.1 million asphalt loss.
  • RFS/RVO exposure remains a material overhang: management cited a potential ~$750 million 2026 RVO obligation at a $1.50/blended D4/D6/D3 RIN price.
  • CEO flagged ~10 million bpd of crude production and ~5 million bpd of refining capacity remaining offline due to recent Iran-related events, creating macro uncertainty.
  • Refining adjusted EBITDA was reduced by a $17.6 million inventory adjustment in Q1 2026.
