Delek US Holdings Inc
Delek US Holdings is a downstream energy company that makes and sells transportation fuels and other petroleum products. Its core business is refining crude oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, and related products, then moving those products to customers through its own distribution network and third-party channels. It also owns some retail fuel and convenience store assets, which give it a direct link to end consumers in a few markets. The company mainly serves wholesale fuel buyers such as gas stations, truck stops, industrial users, and other fuel distributors, along with consumers who buy fuel and convenience items at its retail locations. Delek makes money by buying crude oil and other feedstocks, processing them in refineries, and selling the finished products at prices that depend on supply and demand, regional fuel markets, and refinery operating conditions. It also earns fees and product margins from logistics, storage, and retail sales. What sets Delek apart is that it sits in the middle of the fuel supply chain rather than just owning one piece of it. It combines refining with pipelines, terminals, and retail outlets, so it can move product from the refinery to the market more directly than a pure refiner. That structure gives it exposure to both the economics of making fuel and the business of getting it to customers.

Results: Delek reported a first-quarter net loss of $201 million, or $3.34 per share, while adjusted net income was about $5 million, or $0.08 per share, and adjusted EBITDA was about $212 million.
Turnaround: Big Spring’s planned turnaround finished safely, on budget and on time, and management said the refinery is now running at full capacity, with no further planned turnarounds this year.
EOP: Management raised its enterprise optimization plan target again, now calling for at least $220 million on an annual run-rate basis, with about $60 million contributed in the first quarter.
Macro tailwind: The company said the Iran-related market disruption has tightened crude and product markets, creating steep backwardation, wider crude differentials and a favorable setup for refiners with crude access and high distillate and jet yields.
Guidance: Second-quarter system throughput guidance was set at 293,000 to 313,000 barrels per day, with operating expenses of $215 million to $225 million and G&A of $47 million to $52 million.
Capital returns: Management said it paid about $16 million in dividends in the quarter and reiterated a balanced capital allocation strategy that includes dividends, buybacks and a strong balance sheet.
SRE focus: Small refinery exemptions remained a major topic, with management arguing that 2026 SRE relief is important to avoid a large 2027 RIN deficit and to support fuel affordability.
