Executive summary

  • Q2 2024 was marked by a net loss of $53.8 million, or $0.58 per share, with Adjusted EBITDA at $(22.4) million, driven by a 28% decline in crack spreads and challenging macroeconomic conditions.

  • Revenue for Q2 2024 was $750.1 million, up $15.2 million year-over-year, mainly from refined product and service revenues, despite declines in certain segments.

  • The company completed the transition of the Mobile Refinery hydrocracker from renewable diesel to conventional fuels, ceasing renewable production at the end of June, with expected contributions from conventional operations in Q4 2024.

  • Liquidity was enhanced by securing $15 million and $20 million new loans, modifying term loan agreements, and appointing a Chief Restructuring Officer.

  • Safety remained a priority, with only one minor OSHA recordable injury and continued strong HS&E performance.

Outlook and guidance

  • Yield of high-value finished products projected at 64–68% for Q3.

  • OpEx per barrel for Q3 forecasted between $5.52 and $6.02; capital expenditures expected at $15–$20 million, including $10 million for conversion costs.

  • Throughput and margins expected to improve in Q4 2024 after conversion completion.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
