  • CVR Partners announced a cash distribution of $3.89 per common unit

SUGAR LAND, Texas, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI, “CVR Energy” or the “Company”) today announced second quarter 2025 net loss attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $114 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2024 net income attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $21 million, or 21 cents per diluted share. Adjusted loss for the second quarter of 2025 was 23 cents per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of 9 cents in the second quarter of 2024. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $90 million, compared to net income of $38 million in the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 EBITDA loss was $24 million, compared to second quarter 2024 EBITDA of $103 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $99 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $87 million in the second quarter of 2024.

“CVR Energy’s 2025 second quarter earnings results for its refining business were impacted by an $89 million unfavorable mark-to-market impact on its outstanding Renewable Fuel Standard obligation as well as reduced throughput volumes while we ran off intermediate inventory following the completion of the planned turnaround at the Coffeyville refinery,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“CVR Partners achieved solid operating results for the second quarter of 2025, with a combined ammonia production rate of 91 percent,” Mr. Lamp said. “CVR Partners also was pleased to declare a second quarter 2025 cash distribution of $3.89 per common unit.”

The Company also announced leadership transition plans following Mr. Lamp’s notice of his intent to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer effective December 31, 2025. Mark A. Pytosh, the Company’s Executive Vice President – Corporate Services who also serves as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the general partner of CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners”), is expected to assume the role of President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of CVR Energy while continuing to serve in those same roles for CVR Partners’ general partner. Mr. Lamp is expected to remain on the Company’s Board of Directors and the board of directors of CVR Partners’ general partner.

“I would like to thank our employees, communities and stockholders for their support over the past several years. It has been a privilege to have worked closely with our strong management team to drive value throughout the organization, and I look forward to continuing to serve our companies as a member of the Board,” said Mr. Lamp. “Mark has been a strong leader for CVR Partners and for our midstream operations. We have worked closely together for many years, and I am confident he is the right person to build upon the foundations we have laid while driving CVR Energy and CVR Partners into the future.”

Mr. Pytosh joined the general partner of CVR Partners as a Director in 2011 and became President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2014. In January 2018, Mr. Pytosh was appointed Executive Vice President – Corporate Services of the Company with executive responsibility over the Company’s midstream operations. Prior to joining CVR Partners, Mr. Pytosh held senior financial roles in energy, power, solid waste and investment banking. Mr. Pytosh is expected to remain President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of CVR Partners’ general partner.

Mr. Pytosh commented, “Dave’s leadership, operating discipline and strong corporate values have inspired the Company. I look forward to building upon Dave’s incredible legacy while leveraging our operating platform and strong management team to position the Company for positive growth and maximizing value for all of our stockholders.”

On July 28, 2025, the Board appointed Brett Icahn as a director effective August 1, 2025, increasing the Board size to nine members.

Petroleum Segment

The Petroleum Segment reported a second quarter 2025 net loss of $137 million and EBITDA loss of $84 million, compared to net income of $18 million and EBITDA of $56 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the Petroleum Segment was $38 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $37 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2025 was approximately 172,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) compared to approximately 186,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2024. Throughput during the current quarter was lower primarily to allow processing of intermediate inventories built during the turnaround at the Coffeyville, Kansas, refinery which began in the first quarter of 2025 and was completed in April 2025.

Refining margin for the second quarter of 2025 was $35 million, or $2.21 per total throughput barrel, compared to $185 million, or $10.94 per total throughput barrel, during the same period in 2024. Included in our second quarter 2025 refining margin were unfavorable mark-to-market impacts on our outstanding Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) obligation of $89 million, unfavorable inventory valuation impacts of $31 million, and unfavorable unrealized derivative impacts of $2 million primarily related to Canadian crude oil positions. Excluding these items, adjusted refining margin for the second quarter of 2025 was $9.95 per barrel, compared to an adjusted refining margin per barrel of $9.81 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in adjusted refining margin per barrel was primarily due to an increase in the Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread.

Renewables Segment

Effective beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and due to the prominence of the renewables business relative to the Company’s overall 2024 performance, we revised our reportable segments to reflect a new reportable segment: Renewables. The Renewables Segment includes the operations of the renewable diesel unit and renewable feedstock pretreater at the refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

The Renewables Segment reported second quarter 2025 net loss of $11 million and EBITDA loss of $5 million, compared to net loss of $11 million and EBITDA loss of $5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the Renewables Segment was $4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Total vegetable oil throughput for the second quarter of 2025 was approximately 155,000 gallons per day (“gpd”), compared to approximately 127,000 gpd for the second quarter of 2024.

Renewables margin was $5 million, or $0.38 per vegetable oil throughput gallon, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5 million, or 43 cents per vegetable oil throughput gallon, for the second quarter of 2024. Factors contributing to our second quarter 2025 renewables margin were higher net sales of $13 million resulting from increased production and sales volumes, increased renewable diesel yield due to improved catalyst performance, and increased biomass-based diesel RIN and LCFS credit prices in the current period, partially offset by the loss of the BTC in the current period and a decrease in average CARB ULSD prices of 24 cents per gallon. Higher net sales were partially offset by higher cost of sales of $12 million due to an increase in throughput and production volumes.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment

The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported net income of $39 million and EBITDA of $67 million on net sales of $169 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $26 million and EBITDA of $54 million on net sales of $133 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Production at CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities decreased compared to the second quarter of 2024, producing a combined 197,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter of 2025, of which 54,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 321,000 tons of urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”). During the second quarter of 2024, the fertilizer facilities produced a combined 221,000 tons of ammonia, of which 69,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 337,000 tons of UAN.

For the second quarter 2025, average realized gate prices for ammonia and UAN were up 14 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over the prior year to $593 and $317 per ton, respectively. Average realized gate prices for ammonia and UAN were $520 and $268 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024.

Corporate and Other

The Company reported an income tax benefit of $42 million, or 31.7 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $26 million, or (219.7) percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in overall pretax earnings while the change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest and the impact of federal and state tax credits and incentives in relation to overall pretax earnings.

Cash, Debt and Dividend

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $596 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $391 million from December 31, 2024. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025, including $570 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

On June 30, 2025, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Term Loan Borrowers”) prepaid $70 million in principal of the senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), in addition to required principal and interest payments as set forth in the Term Loan. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a $1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2025, related to the write-off of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs. Further, on July 25, 2025, the Term Loan Borrowers prepaid an additional $20 million in principal of the Term Loan, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

CVR Energy will not pay a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025.

Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a second quarter 2025 cash distribution of $3.89 per common unit, which will be paid on August 18, 2025, to common unitholders of record as of August 11, 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance 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 financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.

As a result of continuing volatile market conditions and the impacts certain non-cash items may have on the evaluation of our operations and results, the Company began disclosing the Adjusted Refining Margin non-GAAP measure, as defined below, in the second quarter of 2024. We believe the presentation of this non-GAAP measure is meaningful to compare our operating results between periods and better aligns with our peer companies. All prior periods presented have been conformed to the definition below.

The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

Petroleum EBITDA, Renewables 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.

Renewables Margin - The difference between our Renewables Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.

Adjusted Renewables Margin - Renewables 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.

Renewables Margin and Adjusted Renewables Margin, per Vegetable Oil Throughput Gallon - Renewables Margin and Adjusted Renewables Margin divided by the total vegetable oil throughput gallons for the period, which is calculated as total vegetable oil throughput gallons per day times the number of days in the period.

Direct Operating Expenses per Vegetable Oil Throughput Gallon - Direct operating expenses for our Renewables Segment divided by total vegetable oil throughput gallons for the period, which is calculated as total vegetable oil throughput gallons per day times the number of days in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA, Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA, Renewables Adjusted EBITDA, and Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA, Renewables 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 U.S. 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

Petroleum Segment

Our results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future due to capitalized expenditures as part of planned turnarounds. Total capitalized expenditures were $24 million and $3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $190 million and $42 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(1) Reflects our ammonia utilization rate on a consolidated basis. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of CVR Partners’ facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.
