First-Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Reported earnings were $207 million for the first quarter of 2026 versus $2.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. First-quarter earnings included pre-tax special item adjustments of $29 million in the Chemicals segment and $(20) million in the Marketing and Specialties segment. Adjusted earnings for the first quarter were $200 million versus adjusted earnings of $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025.
As a result of a sharp increase in commodity prices during the first quarter, the company’s financial results were impacted by mark-to-market losses of $839 million related to short derivative positions used as economic hedges to manage price risk on certain physical positions. However, the increase in current market value of the associated underlying physical inventory is not reflected in book value under last-in, first-out (LIFO) accounting. The impacts during the quarter were as follows:

1 Net gain on asset dispositions includes the sale of a 65% interest in our Germany and Austria retail marketing business in the fourth quarter 2025. In connection with this sale, in the second and third quarters of 2025, we recognized before-tax unrealized (gain) loss from foreign currency derivatives impacting the Marketing and Specialties segment. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our 49% non-operated equity interest in Coop Mineraloel AG. Also in the first quarter 2025, was a gain on disposition of DCP Midstream, LP’s 25% interest in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC.
2 Legal accrual primarily related to ongoing litigation with Propel Fuels, Inc.
3 We generally tax effect taxable U.S.-based special items using a combined federal and state annual statutory income tax rate of approximately 24%. Taxable special items attributable to foreign locations likewise generally use a local statutory income tax rate, but certain transactions may be partially exempt, which could result in a lower overall effective tax rate on these items. Nontaxable events reflect zero income tax. These events include, but are not limited to, most goodwill impairments, transactions legislatively exempt from income tax, transactions related to entities for which we have made an assertion that the undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested, or transactions occurring in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance.
