| DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 7 - Equity”). PBF Energy holds a 99.3% economic interest in PBF LLC as of March 31, 2026 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.7% economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. Additionally, PBF LLC, together with its subsidiaries, own an interest in an equity method investment in St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”) that owns and operates a biorefinery co-located with the Chalmette refinery in Louisiana. Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the PBF Energy financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”) which introduces new disclosure requirements aimed at enhancing the transparency of expense information presented in the financial statements. Specifically, it mandates that public business entities disaggregate certain expense captions presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations into specified natural expense categories within the notes to the financial statements. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements. While the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, it will result in additional disclosure requirements in the notes to its financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor any further guidance or interpretations by the FASB related to this ASU and will provide updates in future filings. Martinez Refinery Fire On February 1, 2025, a fire occurred at the Company’s Martinez refinery, which is owned and operated by Martinez Refinery Company LLC (“MRC”), while the refinery was in the preliminary stages of its previously announced turnaround (the “Martinez refinery fire”). As a result, the refinery was fully shut down until April 2025, when certain unaffected units, including the crude unit, were restarted and the refinery began producing limited quantities of gasoline, jet fuel, and intermediates. Investigations are being conducted by various regulatory agencies, including the California Department of Industrial Relations - the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, the Bay Area Air District, Contra Costa County, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the United States Attorney’s Office (“USAO”), and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). There are uncertainties around these inquiries and investigations and potential results and consequences, including whether any financial penalties will be assessed or changes to the operations of the Martinez refinery will result therefrom. At this time, the potential liabilities, including regulatory penalties, arising from the incident are unknown, and the full financial impact of this incident cannot reasonably be estimated. Following completion of the construction activities in February, assets were transferred to Refinery Operations for commissioning and restart. The startup process extended beyond previous expectations due to the volume of safety and process checks required to ensure successful restoration of full operations. The Alkylation unit and Cat Feed Hydrotreater were successfully restarted and are producing finished products and intermediates required for the sequential startup of downstream units. The Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit is now in the restart process and expected to be producing finished products in early May. The Company expects that the cost of repairs to the fire-damaged units and restoring the refinery to full operational status will be largely covered under its property insurance coverage, subject to the Company’s deductible and retentions totaling $30.0 million. The Company’s insurance policy also includes business interruption coverage, which contains a 60-day waiting period. This coverage commenced on April 3, 2025. While the Company expects its insurance coverage will significantly offset the financial impact of the Martinez refinery fire, other than for the business interruption waiting period, deductibles and retentions, the timing of insurance proceeds may impact the Company’s results and its cash flow in a given reporting period. Any insurance proceeds attributable to property damage in excess of the recognized property loss is considered a gain contingency and will not be recognized until it is realizable. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received $106.5 million of unallocated insurance proceeds, which were recognized as a Gain on insurance recoveries in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Since the date of the fire, the Company has received cumulative insurance proceeds, net of deductibles and retentions, of $1.0 billion. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred $11.5 million and $78.1 million, respectively, in operating expenses directly related to the fire response, recovery, and cleanup efforts as well as certain costs associated with the restart of the refinery. Certain of these expenses may be recoverable through the Company’s insurance claim process and will be recorded as a gain in the quarter in which insurance proceeds are probable of being received.
