NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
(a)Cost of materials and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes a benefit of $44 million resulting from the liquidation of certain LIFO inventory layers attributable to our Refining segment. Inventory levels for our West Coast refining operations decreased during 2026 due to the phased idling of processing units and cessation of refining operations at our Benicia Refinery, which was completed by the end of April 2026. Consequently, inventory levels at December 31, 2026 are expected to remain below those at December 31, 2025.
(b)Taxes other than income taxes includes excise taxes on sales by certain of our foreign operations.
(c)Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes employee retention and separation costs of $50 million related to the Benicia Refinery. In connection with our plan to cease refining operations at the Benicia Refinery, we implemented a transition plan for eligible employees that included retention incentive payments and separation benefits.
(d)In March 2025, we approved a plan to idle the processing units and cease refining operations at our Benicia Refinery by the end of April 2026. In addition, we considered strategic alternatives for our remaining operations in California. As a result, we evaluated the assets of the Benicia and Wilmington refineries for impairment as of March 31, 2025 and concluded that the carrying values of these assets were not recoverable. Therefore, we reduced the carrying values of the Benicia and Wilmington refineries to their estimated fair values and recognized a combined asset impairment loss of $1.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(e)Other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes $4 million and $19 million, respectively, of repair costs directly attributable to the March 2026 incident at our Port Arthur Refinery.
(f)During the first quarter of 2026, we began idling the processing units through a phased approach and ceased operation of the fuel production units at our Benicia Refinery. In accordance with our plan, full idling of all processing units was completed in April 2026. Effective in the second quarter of 2026, activities associated with the decommissioning and redevelopment of our Benicia Refinery are reported within Corporate and Other.
(g)Depreciation and amortization expense includes incremental depreciation expense of approximately $133 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and approximately $100 million and $200 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, related to the Benicia Refinery. In connection with our phased plan to idle the processing units and cease refining operations at our Benicia Refinery, we shortened the estimated useful life of the refinery, and as a result, the revised carrying value of the refinery’s long-lived assets was depreciated to the estimated salvage value.
(h)We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.
We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.
Non-GAAP measures are as follows:
◦Adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders is defined as net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders adjusted to reflect the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect, as applicable. The income tax effect for the adjustments was calculated using a combined U.S. federal and state statutory rate of 22.5 percent. We have adjusted for these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and that their adjustment results in an important measure of
Table Page 17
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES (continued)
our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for our belief with respect to each adjustment is provided below.
–LIFO liquidation adjustment – Generally, the LIFO inventory valuation method provides for the matching of current costs with current revenues. However, a LIFO liquidation results in a portion of our current-year cost of sales being impacted by historical costs, which obscures our current-year financial performance. Therefore, we have excluded the historical cost impact from adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders. See note (a) for additional details.
–Employee retention and separation costs – The employee retention and separation costs related to the Benicia Refinery (see note (c)) are not indicative of our ongoing operations.
–Asset impairment loss – The asset impairment loss attributable to our Benicia and Wilmington refineries (see note (d)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations or our expectations about the profitability of our refining business.
–Port Arthur Refinery fire expenses – The expenses directly attributable to the March 2026 incident at our Port Arthur Refinery (see note (e)) are specific to that incident and are not indicative of our ongoing operations.
◦Adjusted earnings per common share – assuming dilution is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.
◦Refining margin is defined as Refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the LIFO liquidation adjustment (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, the asset impairment loss (see note (d)), and other operating expenses. We believe Refining margin is an important measure of our Refining segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
◦Renewable Diesel margin is defined as Renewable Diesel segment operating income (loss) excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe Renewable Diesel margin is an important measure of our Renewable Diesel segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
◦Ethanol margin is defined as Ethanol segment operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe Ethanol margin is an important measure of our Ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
◦Adjusted Refining operating income is defined as Refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the LIFO liquidation adjustment (see note (a)), employee retention and separation costs (see note (c)), the asset impairment loss (see note (d)), and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted Refining operating income is an important measure of our Refining segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.

◦Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the items noted below. We believe adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our ability to generate cash to fund our investing and financing activities. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below.
–Changes in current assets and current liabilities – Current assets net of current liabilities represents our operating liquidity. We believe that the change in our operating liquidity from period to period does not represent cash generated by our operations that is available to fund our investing and financing activities.
–DGD’s adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities attributable to the other joint venture member’s ownership interest in DGD – We are a 50 percent joint venture member in DGD and we consolidate DGD’s financial statements. Our Renewable Diesel segment includes the operations of DGD and the associated activities to market its products. Because we consolidate DGD’s financial statements, all of DGD’s net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities.
In general, DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Nevertheless, DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member and only a portion of DGD’s operating cash flow should be attributed to our net cash provided by operating activities. Therefore, we have adjusted our net cash provided by operating activities for the portion of DGD’s operating cash flow attributable to the other joint venture member’s ownership interest because we believe

NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES (continued)
that it more accurately reflects the operating cash flow available to us to fund our investing and financing activities. The adjustment is calculated as follows (in millions):

◦Capital investments attributable to Valero is defined as all capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member and all of the capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.
In general, DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of total capital investments. We also exclude the capital expenditures of other VIEs that we consolidate because we do not operate those VIEs. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.
(i)The Refining segment regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf Coast- Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Houston, Meraux, Port Arthur, St. Charles, Texas City, and Three Rivers Refineries; U.S. Mid Continent- Ardmore, McKee, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington Refineries. Effective in the second quarter of 2026, activities associated with the decommissioning and redevelopment of our Benicia Refinery are reflected within Corporate and Other.
(j)Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt.
(k)We use certain operating statistics (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and the accompanying earnings release to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.
All per barrel of throughput, per gallon of sales, and per gallon of production amounts are calculated by dividing the associated dollar amount by the throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the period, as applicable.
Throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, sales volumes per day, and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the Refining segment, Renewable Diesel segment, and Ethanol segment, respectively, due to their general use by others who operate facilities similar to those included in our segments. We believe the use of such volumes results in per unit amounts that are most representative of the product margins generated and the operating costs incurred as a result of our operation of those facilities.

(l)The RVO cost represents the average market cost on a per barrel basis to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard program. The RVO cost is calculated by multiplying (i) the average market price during the applicable period for the RINs associated with each class of renewable fuel (i.e., biomass-based diesel, cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel) by (ii) the quotas for the volume of each class of renewable fuel that must be blended into petroleum-based transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., as set or proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, on a percentage basis for each class of renewable fuel and adding together the results of each calculation.
