Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business—As used in this report, the terms “MPC,” “we,” “us,” “the Company” or “our” may refer to Marathon Petroleum Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole.
Our business consists of refining and marketing, retail marketing and pipeline transportation operations conducted primarily in the Midwest, Gulf Coast and Southeast regions of the United States, through subsidiaries, including Marathon Petroleum Company LP, Speedway LLC and MPLX LP and its subsidiaries (“MPLX”).
See Note 8 for additional information about our operations.
Basis of Presentation—All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
During the first quarter of 2014, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment for additional expenses related to the prior year's bonus programs of $29 million, included in total costs and expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The impact to our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 was immaterial. We do not expect this adjustment to have a material impact to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
2. Accounting Standards
Not Yet Adopted
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update for the elimination of the concept of development stage entity ("DSE") from U.S. GAAP and removes the related incremental reporting. The standards update eliminates the additional financial statement requirements specific to a DSE. In addition, it amends the consolidation model by eliminating the special provisions in the variable interest entity rules for assessing the sufficiency of the equity of a DSE. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the amendment to the consolidation guidance will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the removal of the DSE reporting requirements will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarters of 2015 and 2016 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for revenue recognition that is aligned with the International Accounting Standards Board's revenue recognition standard issued on the same day. The guidance in the update states that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Recognition of the revenue will involve a multiple step approach including identifying the contract, identifying the separate performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the price to the performance obligations and then recognizing the revenue as the obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures will be required to provide adequate information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of reported revenues and revenues expected to be recognized. The accounting standards update will be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with no early adoption permitted. At this point, a final determination has not been made as to the impact of the adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2017. However, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

7

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that redefines the criteria for determining discontinued operations and introduces new disclosures related to these disposals. The updated definition of a discontinued operation is the disposal of a component(s) of an entity or the classification of a component(s) of an entity as held for sale that represents a strategic shift for an entity and has (or will have) a major impact on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard requires disclosure of additional financial information for discontinued operations and individually material components not qualifying for discontinued operation presentation, as well as information regarding an entity's continuing involvement with the discontinued operation. The accounting standards update is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2015 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
3. MPLX LP
MPLX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed by us to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets related to the transportation and storage of crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products. We own a 73.6 percent interest in MPLX, including the two percent general partner interest. We consolidate this entity for financial reporting purposes since we have a controlling financial interest, and we record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public.
MPLX’s initial assets consisted of a 51 percent general partner interest in MPLX Pipe Line Holdings LP (“Pipe Line Holdings”), which owns a network of common carrier crude oil and product pipeline systems and associated storage assets in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, and a 100 percent interest in a butane storage cavern in West Virginia. On May 1, 2013, we sold a five percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings to MPLX for $100 million.
Effective March 1, 2014, we sold MPLX a 13 percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings for $310 million, increasing MPLX's ownership interest in Pipe Line Holdings to 69 percent. MPLX financed this transaction with $40 million of cash on-hand and $270 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit agreement.
The sales of interests in Pipeline Holdings to MPLX resulted in a change of our ownership in Pipeline Holdings, but not a change in control. We accounted for the sales as equity transactions, with the excess cash paid over historical carrying value recorded as a change within equity. We did not record a gain or loss on the transactions.
4. Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisition of Refinery and Related Logistics and Marketing Assets
On February 1, 2013, we acquired from BP Products North America Inc. and BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. (collectively, “BP”) the 451,000 barrel per calendar day refinery in Texas City, Texas, three intrastate natural gas liquid pipelines originating at the refinery, four light product terminals, branded-jobber marketing contract assignments for the supply of approximately 1,200 branded sites, a 1,040 megawatt electric cogeneration facility and a 50,000 barrel per day allocation of space on Colonial Pipeline. We refer to these assets as the “Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.” We paid $1.49 billion for these assets, which included $935 million for inventory. The transaction was funded with cash on hand. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we may also be required to pay to BP a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid BP $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. See Note 13 for additional information on the contingent consideration.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents consolidated results assuming the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information does not give effect to potential synergies that could result from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations.

This acquisition will incorporate all of Hess' retail locations, transport operations and shipper history on various pipelines, including approximately 40,000 barrels per day on Colonial Pipeline. The total consideration is $2.874 billion comprised of a cash purchase price of $2.37 billion, an estimated $230 million of net working capital and $274 million of capital lease obiligations. The acquisition is expected to be funded with a combination of debt and available cash and is anticipated to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions.
This acquisition will significantly expand our Speedway presence from nine to 23 states throughout the East Coast and Southeast and is aligned with our strategy to grow higher-valued, stable cash flow businesses. This acquisition will also enable us to further leverage our integrated refining and transportation operations, providing an outlet for an incremental 200,000 barrels per day of assured sales from our refining system.
Acquisitions of Convenience Stores
During 2013, Speedway acquired nine convenience stores located in Tennessee, western Indiana and western Pennsylvania. In connection with these acquisitions, our Speedway segment recorded $8 million of goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes.
The principal factors contributing to a purchase price resulting in goodwill included the acquired stores complementing our existing network in our Midwest market, access to our refined product transportation systems and the potential for higher merchandise sales.
Acquisition of Biodiesel Facility
On April 1, 2014, we purchased a facility in Cincinnati, Ohio from Felda Iffco Sdn Bhd, Malaysia for $40 million. The plant currently produces biodiesel, glycerin and other by-products. The capacity of the plant is approximately 60 million gallons per year.
Neither goodwill nor a gain from a bargain purchase was recognized in conjunction with the biodiesel facility acquisition.
Assuming the acquisitions of the convenience stores and the biodiesel facility had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.
Investments in Ethanol Companies
On August 1, 2013, we acquired from Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc. its interests in three ethanol companies for $75 million. Under the purchase agreement, we acquired an additional 24 percent interest in The Andersons Clymers Ethanol LLC ("TACE"), bringing our ownership interest to 60 percent; a 34 percent interest in The Andersons Ethanol Investment LLC, which holds a 50 percent ownership in The Andersons Marathon Ethanol LLC ("TAME"), bringing our direct and indirect ownership interest in TAME to 67 percent; and a 40 percent interest in The Andersons Albion Ethanol LLC ("TAAE"), which owns an ethanol production facility in Albion, Michigan. On October 1, 2013, our ownership interest in TAAE increased to 43 percent as a result of TAAE acquiring one of the owner's interest. We hold a noncontrolling interest in each of these entities and account for them using the equity method of accounting since the minority owners have substantive participating rights.
Investments in Pipeline Companies
We made contributions of $75 million to North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC ("North Dakota Pipeline") during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We have contributed $99 million since project inception. These contributions funded 37.5 percent of the construction costs incurred to-date on the Sandpiper pipeline project. In conjunction with our commitment to be an anchor shipper for the Sandpiper pipeline and our investment in the project, we will earn an approximate 27 percent equity interest in Enbridge Energy Partner L.P.'s North Dakota System when the Sandpiper pipeline is placed into service, which is projected to occur in early 2016. We also have the option to increase our ownership interest to approximately 30 percent through additional investments in future system improvements. We account for our interest in North Dakota Pipeline using the equity method of accounting. See Note 20 for information on future contributions to North Dakota Pipeline.

In March 2014, we acquired from Chevron Raven Ridge Pipe Line Company an additional seven percent interest in Explorer Pipeline Company ("Explorer") for $77 million, bringing our ownership interest to 25 percent. As a result of this increase in our ownership, we now account for our investment in Explorer using the equity method of accounting rather than the cost method. The cumulative impact of the change was applied as an adjustment to 2014 retained earnings.
5. Related Party Transactions
Our related parties include:
TAAE, in which we have a 43 percent noncontrolling interest, TACE, in which we have a 60 percent noncontrolling interest and TAME, in which we have a 67 percent direct and indirect noncontrolling interest. These companies each own an ethanol production facility.

6. Income per Common Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to MPC by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share assumes exercise of certain stock-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive.
MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities. Due to the presence of participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two-class method.

7. Equity
As of June 30, 2014, our board of directors had approved $6.0 billion in total share repurchase authorizations since January 1, 2012 and we have repurchased a total of $5.29 billion of our common stock, leaving $709 million available for repurchases through September 2015. Under these authorizations, we have acquired 78 million shares at an average cost per share of $67.65. On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 2016.
We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
Total share repurchases were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

8. Segment Information
We have three reportable segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Pipeline Transportation. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.
Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States, purchases ethanol and refined products for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including barges, terminals and trucks that we own or operate. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to our Speedway segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate Marathon® retail outlets;
Speedway – sells transportation fuels and convenience products in retail markets in the Midwest, primarily through Speedway® convenience stores; and
Pipeline Transportation – transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined products to wholesale and retail market areas and includes the aggregated operations of MPLX and MPC’s retained pipeline assets and investments.

On February 1, 2013, we acquired the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, which are part of the Refining & Marketing and Pipeline Transportation segments. Segment information for the period prior to the acquisition does not include amounts for these operations. See Note 4.
Segment income represents income from operations attributable to the reportable segments. Corporate administrative expenses and costs related to certain non-operating assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. In addition, certain items that affect comparability (as determined by the chief operating decision maker) are not allocated to the reportable segments.

10. Income Taxes
The combined federal, state and foreign income tax rate was 35 percent for both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and 35 percent and 34 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is equivalent to or slightly less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to certain permanent benefit differences, including the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state and local tax expense.
Prior to the June 30, 2011 spinoff transaction from Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon Oil”), we were included in Marathon Oil’s income tax returns for all applicable years. During 2011, we anticipated a future settlement between Marathon Oil and us upon the filing of Marathon Oil’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns for the period prior to June 30, 2011. During the second quarter of 2013, we settled with Marathon Oil for the 2011 period based on filed tax returns, resulting in a $39 million increase to additional paid-in capital.
We are continuously undergoing examination of our income tax returns, which have been completed for our U.S. federal and state income tax returns through the 2009 and 2003 tax years, respectively. We had $20 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2014. Pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with Marathon Oil, the unrecognized tax benefits related to pre-spinoff operations for which Marathon Oil was the taxpayer remain the responsibility of Marathon Oil and we have indemnified Marathon Oil accordingly. See Note 20 for indemnification information.

13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Values—Recurring
The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by fair value hierarchy level. We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the following tables.

(a) 
Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash collateral of $47 million and $32 million, respectively, was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.
(b) 
We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.
(c) 
Includes $370 million and $159 million classified as current at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Commodity derivatives in Level 1 are exchange-traded contracts for crude oil and refined products measured at fair value with a market approach using the close-of-day settlement prices for the market. Commodity derivatives are covered under master netting agreements with an unconditional right to offset. Collateral deposits in futures commission merchant accounts covered by master netting agreements related to Level 1 commodity derivatives are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The contingent consideration represents the fair value as of June 30, 2014 of the amount we expect to pay to BP related to the earnout provision for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition. See Note 4. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using an income approach and is therefore a Level 3 liability. The amount of cash to be paid under the arrangement is based on both a market-based crack spread and refinery throughput volumes for the months during which the contract applies, as well as established thresholds that cap the annual and total payment. The earnout payment cannot exceed $200 million per year for the first three years of the arrangement or $250 million per year for the last three years of the arrangement, with the total cumulative payment capped at $700 million over the six-year period. Any excess or shortfall from the annual cap for a current year’s earnout calculation will not affect subsequent years’ calculations. The fair value calculation used significant unobservable inputs, including (1) an estimate of refinery throughput volumes; (2) a range of internal and external crack spread forecasts from $14 to $19 per barrel; and (3) a range of risk-adjusted discount rates from five percent to 10 percent. An increase or decrease in crack spread forecasts or refinery throughput volume expectations may result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the fair value. Increases to the fair value as a result of increasing forecasts for both of these unobservable inputs, however, are limited as the earnout payment is subject to annual thresholds. An increase or decrease in the discount rate may result in a decrease or increase to the fair value, respectively. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed each quarter, with changes in fair value recorded in cost of revenues.
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances recorded for liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Based on the financial and operational status of a company in which we have an interest in, we fully impaired our $11 million investment in that company during the second quarter of 2014. Our investment in this company was accounted for using the cost method and was included in our Refining & Marketing segment. The impairment is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of our investment in this cost company was measured using an income approach. This measurement is classified as Level 3.
Due to changing market conditions, we assessed one of our light products terminals for impairment. The terminal is operated by our Refining & Marketing segment. We recorded an impairment charge of $8 million for this terminal in 2013. The impairment is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the terminal was measured using a market approach based on comparable area property values, which are Level 3 inputs.

(a) 
Excludes capital leases
Our current assets and liabilities include financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payables. We believe the carrying values of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the short-term duration of the instruments, (2) our investment-grade credit rating and (3) our historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.
Fair values of our financial assets included in investments and other financial assets and of our financial liabilities included in deferred credits and other liabilities are measured primarily using an income approach and most inputs are internally generated, which results in a Level 3 classification. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using a rate deemed appropriate to obtain the fair value. Other financial assets primarily consist of environmental remediation receivables. Deferred credits and other liabilities primarily consist of insurance liabilities and environmental remediation liabilities.
Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt is measured using a market approach, based upon the average of quotes from major financial institutions and a third-party service for our debt. Because these quotes cannot be independently verified to the market, they are considered Level 3 inputs. Fair value of variable-rate long-term debt approximates the carrying value.
14. Derivatives
For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 13. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil and (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products.
The following table presents the gross fair values of derivative instruments, excluding cash collateral, and where they appear on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

There were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the MPC revolving credit agreement or the trade receivables securitization facility at June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, MPLX borrowed $270 million under the MPLX Operations LLC revolving credit agreement (the "MPLX Credit Agreement"), at an average interest rate of 1.5 percent, per annum, and had repayments of $15 million. The borrowings were used to fund MPLX's acquisition of an additional interest in Pipe Line Holdings. At June 30, 2014, MPLX had $255 million of borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the MPLX Credit Agreement, resulting in total unused loan availability of $245 million, or 49 percent of the borrowing capacity. The MPLX Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made no contributions to our funded pension plans. We have no required funding for 2014, but may do so at our discretion. Current benefit payments related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans were $9 million and $10 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we determined that lump sum payments to employees retiring in the respective years will exceed the plans’ total service and interest costs for the year. Settlement losses are required to be recorded when lump sum payments exceed total service and interest costs. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded pension settlement expenses of $69 million and $60 million related to our cumulative lump sum payments made during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The grant date fair value of stock option awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $25.37 per share. The fair value of stock options granted to our employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, which employs various assumptions. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the assumption for expected volatility of our stock price was refined to reflect a weighting of 50 percent of MPC’s common stock implied volatility and 50 percent of MPC's common stock historical volatility.

20. Commitments and Contingencies
We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which we have not recorded an accrued liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings and discovery. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.
Environmental matters—We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $137 million and $123 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties if any that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, was $51 million at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

We are involved in a number of environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Lawsuits—In May 2007, the Kentucky attorney general filed a lawsuit against us and Marathon Oil in state court in Franklin County, Kentucky for alleged violations of Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The lawsuit alleges that we overcharged customers by $89 million during September and October 2005. The complaint seeks disgorgement of these sums, as well as penalties, under Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws. We are vigorously defending this litigation. We believe that this is the first lawsuit for damages and injunctive relief under the Kentucky emergency pricing laws to progress this far and it contains many novel issues. In May 2011, the Kentucky attorney general amended his complaint to include a request for immediate injunctive relief as well as unspecified damages and penalties related to our wholesale gasoline pricing in April and May 2011 under statewide price controls that were activated by the Kentucky governor on April 26, 2011 and which have since expired. The court denied the attorney general’s request for immediate injunctive relief, and the remainder of the 2011 claims likely will be resolved along with those dating from 2005. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably in its entirety, it could materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this litigation will have a material adverse effect.
We are a defendant in a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees—We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.
Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees—We hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, we are required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements vary but tend to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2037. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $172 million as of June 30, 2014.
We hold an interest in a refined products pipeline through our investment in Centennial, and have guaranteed the payment of Centennial’s principal, interest and prepayment costs, if applicable, under a Master Shelf Agreement, which is scheduled to expire in 2024. The guarantee arose in order for Centennial to obtain adequate financing. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this agreement for debt principal totaled $40 million as of June 30, 2014.
We hold an interest in an ethanol production facility through our investment in TAME, and through our participation as a lender under TAME’s revolving credit agreement, have agreed to reimburse the bank for 50 percent of any amounts drawn on a letter of credit that has been issued to secure TAME’s repayment of the tax exempt bonds. The credit agreement expires in 2018. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this arrangement were $25 million at June 30, 2014.
Marathon Oil indemnifications—In conjunction with our spinoff from Marathon Oil, we have entered into arrangements with Marathon Oil providing indemnities and guarantees with recorded values of $2 million as of June 30, 2014, which consist of unrecognized tax benefits related to MPC, its consolidated subsidiaries and the refining, marketing and transportation business operations prior to our spinoff which are not already reflected in the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 10, and other contingent liabilities Marathon Oil may incur related to taxes. Furthermore, the separation and distribution agreement and other agreements with Marathon Oil to effect our spinoff provide for cross-indemnities between Marathon Oil and us. In general, Marathon Oil is required to indemnify us for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical oil and gas exploration and production operations, oil sands mining operations and integrated gas operations, and we are required to indemnify Marathon Oil for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical refining, marketing and transportation operations. The terms of these indemnifications are indefinite and the amounts are not capped.

Table of Contents

Other guarantees—We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $122 million as of June 30, 2014, which primarily consist of a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events, up to $50 million per event, in lieu of procuring insurance coverage, an indemnity to the co-lenders associated with an equity method investee’s credit agreement, and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.
General guarantees associated with dispositions – Over the years, we have sold various assets in the normal course of our business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require us to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. We are typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriate method for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.
Contractual commitments—At June 30, 2014, our contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and advance funds to equity method investees totaled $4.2 billion, which includes $2.37 billion for the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, $700 million of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets and $825 million for contributions to North Dakota Pipeline. See Note 4 for additional information on the pending acquisition of Hess Retail and our investment in North Dakota Pipeline. See Notes 4 and 13 for additional information on the contingent consideration.

Subsequent Event

Southern Access Extension Pipeline project
In July 2014, we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.'s Southern Access Extension pipeline ("SAX") through our investment in Illinois Extension Pipeline Company, LLC ("Illinois Extension Pipeline"). During July, we made an initial contribution of $69 million to Illinois Extension Pipeline to fund our portion of the construction costs incurred-to-date on the SAX project. In return for our investment in the SAX project, we received a 35 percent equity interest in Illinois Extension Pipeline. We expect to make future contributions of approximately $226 million related to the ongoing construction of the pipeline, which is expected to be operational in mid 2015.

Table of Contents

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations increased $357 million in the second quarter and decreased $386 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The increase in the second quarter was primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and a higher U.S. Gulf Coast (“USGC”) crack spread, partially offset by a narrower Light Louisiana Sweet ("LLS") - West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil differential and a lower Chicago crack spread. The decrease in the first six months was primarily due to an increase in refinery direct operating costs, a narrower LLS-WTI crude oil differential and a lower sweet/sour crude oil differential, partially offset by more favorable net product price realizations and a higher USGC crack spread.
Speedway segment income from operations decreased $29 million in the second quarter and $38 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to decreases in our gasoline and distillate gross margin and increases in operating expenses, partially offset by increases in our merchandise gross margin.
Pipeline Transportation segment income from operations increased $23 million in the second quarter and $44 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to higher pipeline transportation revenue and increases in equity affiliate income from our investment in LOOP.
On February 1, 2013, we acquired from BP the 451,000 barrel per calendar day refinery in Texas City, Texas, three intrastate natural gas liquid pipelines originating at the refinery, four light product terminals, branded-jobber marketing contract assignments for the supply of approximately 1,200 branded sites, a 1,040 megawatt electric cogeneration facility and a 50 thousand barrel per day ("mbpd") allocation of space on the Colonial Pipeline. We refer to these assets as the “Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.” We paid $1.49 billion for these assets, which included $935 million for inventory. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we may also be required to pay BP a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid BP $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. These assets are part of our Refining & Marketing and Pipeline Transportation segments. Our financial results and operating statistics for the period prior to the acquisition does not include amounts for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on this acquisition.
On May 21, 2014, Speedway entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Hess Corporation to purchase Hess Retail. This acquisition will incorporate all of Hess' retail locations, transport operations and shipper history on various pipelines, including approximately 40 mbpd on Colonial Pipeline. The total consideration is $2.874 billion comprised of a cash purchase price of $2.37 billion, an estimated $230 million of net working capital and $274 million of capital leases. The acquisition is expected to be funded with a combination of debt and available cash and is anticipated to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions. This acquisition will significantly expand our retail presence from nine to 23 states throughout the East Coast and Southeast and is aligned with our strategy to grow higher-valued, stable cash flow businesses. This acquisition will also enable us to further leverage our integrated refining and transportation operations, providing an outlet for an incremental 200 mbpd of assured sales from our refining system.
Effective March 1, 2014, we sold MPLX a 13 percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings for $310 million, increasing MPLX's ownership interest in Pipe Line Holdings to 69 percent. MPLX financed this transaction with $40 million of cash on-hand and $270 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit agreement. See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on MPLX.
In March 2014, we acquired from Chevron Raven Ridge Pipe Line Company an additional seven percent interest in Explorer for $77 million, bringing our ownership interest to 25 percent. Due to this increase in our ownership percentage, we now account for our investment in Explorer using the equity method of accounting and report Explorer as a related party. Explorer owns approximately 1,900 miles of refined products pipeline from Lake Charles, Louisiana to Hammond, Indiana.
In 2013, we agreed with Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. ("Enbridge") to serve as an anchor shipper for the Sandpiper pipeline, which will run from Beaver Lodge, North Dakota to Superior, Wisconsin and is targeted to be operational in early 2016. We also agreed to fund 37.5 percent of the construction of the Sandpiper pipeline project, which is currently estimated to cost $2.6 billion, of which approximately $1.0 billion is our share. We made contributions of $75 million during the first six months of 2014 and have contributed $99 million since project inception. In exchange for our commitment to be an anchor shipper and our investment in the project, we will earn an approximate 27 percent equity interest in Enbridge's North Dakota System when the Sandpiper pipeline is placed into service. Enbridge's North Dakota System currently includes approximately 240 miles of crude oil gathering pipelines connected to a transportation pipeline that is approximately 730 miles long. We will also have the option to increase our ownership interest to approximately 30 percent through additional investments in future system improvements. See Notes 4 and 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In July 2014, we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.'s SAX pipeline through our investment in Illinois Extension Pipeline. The SAX pipeline will run from from Flanagan, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois and is targeted to be operational in mid 2015. We agreed to fund 35 percent of the estimated $850 million construction costs for the SAX pipeline project, of which approximately $295 million is our share. In July, we made an initial contribution of $69 million to fund our portion of the construction costs for the project.
During the first six months of 2014, we paid $1.15 billion to acquire 13 million common shares through open market share repurchases. The effective average cost was $87.82 per delivered share. At June 30, 2014, we also had agreements to repurchase additional common shares for $12 million, which were settled in early July 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we had an outstanding repurchase authorization of $709 million, which expires in September 2015. On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 2016. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The above discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, the estimated construction costs and completion of the Sandpiper and SAX pipeline projects and the share repurchase authorizations. Factors that could affect the pending acquisition of Hess Retail include, but are not limited to, our ability to successfully complete the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Factors that could affect the estimated construction costs and completion of the Sandpiper and SAX pipeline projects, include, but are not limited to, availability of materials and labor, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, delays in obtaining or conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals and other risks customarily associated with construction projects. Factors that could affect the share repurchase authorizations and the timing of any repurchases include, but are not limited to, business conditions, availability of liquidity and the market price of our common stock. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Overview of Segments
Refining & Marketing
Refining & Marketing segment income from operations depends largely on our Refining & Marketing gross margin and refinery throughputs.
Our Refining & Marketing gross margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of purchased products. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil, commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same relationship as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Midwest (Chicago) and USGC crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. LLS prices and a 6-3-2-1 ratio of products (6 barrels of LLS crude oil producing 3 barrels of unleaded regular gasoline, 2 barrels of ultra-low sulfur diesel and 1 barrel of 3 percent residual fuel oil) are used for these crack-spread calculations.
Our refineries can process significant amounts of sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to sweet crude oil. The amount of this discount, the sweet/sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing gross margin to differ from crack spreads based on sweet crude oil. In general, a larger sweet/sour differential will enhance our Refining & Marketing gross margin.
Historically, WTI has traded at prices similar to LLS. During 2011 and continuing through the first half of 2013, WTI traded at prices significantly less than LLS, which favorably impacted our Refining & Marketing gross margin. Logistical constraints in the U.S. mid-continent markets and other market factors acted to keep the price of WTI from rising with the prices of crude oil produced in other regions. However, due to a variety of domestic and international market conditions including the growth in pipeline capacity from Cushing, Oklahoma to the Gulf Coast region, the differential between WTI and LLS significantly narrowed during the second half of 2013 with a further narrowing broadly continuing through the first half of 2014. Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors.

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sweet/sour differential and the discount of WTI to LLS, our Refining & Marketing gross margin is impacted by factors such as:
the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;
our refinery yields;
the selling prices realized for refined products;
the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk; and
the cost of products purchased for resale.
Refining & Marketing segment income from operations is also affected by changes in refinery direct operating costs, which include turnaround and major maintenance, depreciation and amortization and other manufacturing expenses. Changes in manufacturing costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Planned major maintenance activities, or turnarounds, requiring temporary shutdown of certain refinery operating units, are periodically performed at each refinery. We had significant planned turnaround and major maintenance activities at our Catlettsburg, Kentucky; Galveston Bay, Texas; Garyville, Louisiana and Robinson, Illinois refineries during the first six months of 2014 compared to activities at our Catlettsburg, Garyville and Galveston Bay refineries during the first six months of 2013.
Speedway
Our retail marketing gross margin for gasoline and distillate, which is the price paid by consumers less the cost of refined products, including transportation, consumer excise taxes and bankcard processing fees, impacts the Speedway segment profitability. Numerous factors impact gasoline and distillate demand, including local competition, seasonal demand fluctuations, the available wholesale supply, the level of economic activity in our marketing areas and weather conditions. Market demand increases for gasoline and distillate generally increase the product margin we can realize.
The gross margin on merchandise sold at convenience stores historically has been less volatile and has contributed substantially to Speedway's gross margin. Approximately two-thirds of Speedway’s gross margin was derived from merchandise sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2014. Speedway's convenience stores offer a wide variety of merchandise, including prepared foods, beverages and non-food items.
Pipeline Transportation
The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our common carrier pipelines serve our Refining & Marketing segment. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Net income attributable to MPC increased $262 million in the second quarter and decreased $264 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to our Refining & Marketing segment income from operations, which increased $357 million in the second quarter and decreased $386 million in the first six months. The increase in Refining & Marketing segment income from operations in the second quarter was primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and a higher USGC crack spread, partially offset by a narrower LLS-WTI crude oil differential and a lower Chicago crack spread. The decrease in Refining & Marketing segment income from operations in the first six months was primarily due to an increase in refinery direct operating costs, a narrower LLS-WTI crude oil differential and a lower sweet/sour crude oil differential, partially offset by more favorable net product price realizations and a higher USGC crack spread.
Sales and other operating revenues (including consumer excise taxes) increased $1.17 billion in the second quarter and $1.12 billion in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to an increase in refined product sales prices in the second quarter and higher refined product sales volumes in the first six months.
Income from equity method investments increased $50 million in the second quarter and $85 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in income from our ethanol affiliates of $32 million and $61 million, respectively, and increases in income from our pipeline affiliates of $17 million and $24 million, respectively. The increases in income from our ethanol affiliates includes the affects of our acquisition of interests in TAAE, TACE and The Andersons Ethanol Investment LLC in August 2013. The higher income from our pipeline affiliates is primarily due to increases from LOOP, as well as income from Explorer, which is now reflected in our results following our acquisition of an increased ownership interest in this pipeline company.

Centennial experienced a significant reduction in shipment volumes in the second half of 2011 that has continued through the first six months of 2014. At June 30, 2014, Centennial was not shipping product. As a result, we continued to evaluate the carrying value of our equity investment in Centennial. We concluded that no impairment was required given our assessment of its fair value based on market participant assumptions for various potential uses and future cash flows of Centennial’s assets. If current business conditions remain unchanged and the owners of Centennial are unable to find an alternative use for the assets, there could be a future impairment of our Centennial interest. As of June 30, 2014, our equity investment in Centennial was $35 million and we had a $40 million guarantee associated with 50 percent of Centennial's outstanding debt. See Note 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the debt guarantee.
Net gain on disposal of assets increased $10 million for both the second quarter and first six months of 2014 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2013, primarily due to the sale of two terminals.
Other income increased $3 million in the second quarter and $13 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to higher gains on sales of Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) of $19 million and $30 million, respectively, partially offset by an $11 million impairment of an investment in a company accounted for using the cost method and the absence of dividends received from Explorer, which were recorded as other income in 2013.
Cost of revenues increased $776 million in the second quarter and $1.28 billion in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The increases were primarily due to:
increases in refined product cost of sales of $607 million for the second quarter and $691 million for the first six months, primarily due to higher raw material costs and sales volumes for the second quarter and higher sales volumes partially offset by lower raw material costs for the first six months; and
increases in refinery direct operating costs, including costs associated with significant turnaround activity at the Galveston Bay refinery, of $153 million, or $1.03 per barrel of total refinery throughput, for the second quarter and $774 million, or $2.55 per barrel of total refinery throughput, for the first six months.
Purchases from related parties increased $51 million in the second quarter and $138 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to:
acquisitions of ownership interests in TAAE and Explorer, resulting in purchases from these companies totaling $35 million and $64 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, being reported as purchases from related parties while purchases from these companies during the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were reported as cost of revenues;
an increase in purchases from LOOP of $44 million in the first six months of 2014; and
increases in purchases from TAME and TACE of $17 million for the second quarter and $22 million for the first six months.
Depreciation and amortization increased $23 million in the second quarter and $56 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to accelerated depreciation of equipment at two refineries and the implementation of corporate-level information technology projects, partially offset by an impairment of a light products terminal in 2013.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $42 million in the second quarter and increased $55 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to a decrease in pension settlement expenses of $55 million resulting from the level of employee lump sum retirement distributions that occurred during those periods, partially offset by an increase in contract services. The increase in the first six months was primarily due to an increase in contract services, an increase in employee compensation and benefit expenses and an increase in pension settlement expenses of $9 million.
Other taxes increased $10 million in the second quarter and $25 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in payroll taxes and sales and use tax expense.
Provision for income taxes increased $141 million in the second quarter and decreased $129 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to changes in income before income taxes, which increased $406 million in the second quarter and decreased $387 million in the first six months. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of both 2014 and 2013 are equivalent to or slightly less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to certain permanent benefit differences, including the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state and local tax expense.

Speedway segment revenues increased $140 million in the second quarter and $157 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in gasoline and distillate sales of $116 million and $122 million, respectively, and increases in merchandise sales of $24 million and $35 million, respectively. The increases in gasoline and distillate sales were primarily due to volume increases of 25 million gallons and 53 million gallons, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the number of convenience stores, partially offset by a decrease in gasoline and distillate selling prices of $0.04 per gallon for the first six months. The increases in merchandise sales were primarily due to an increase in the number of convenience stores and higher same store sales.

Corporate overhead expenses attributable to MPLX are included in the Pipeline Transportation segment. These expenses are not allocated to the Refining & Marketing and Speedway segments.
Refining & Marketing segment income from operations increased $357 million in the second quarter and decreased $386 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The increase in the second quarter was primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and a higher USGC crack spread, partially offset by a narrower LLS-WTI crude oil differential and a lower Chicago crack spread. The decrease in the first six months was primarily due to an increase in refinery direct operating costs, a narrower LLS-WTI crude oil differential and a lower sweet/sour crude oil differential, partially offset by more favorable net product price realizations and a higher USGC crack spread.
The following table presents certain market indicators that we believe are helpful in understanding the results of our Refining & Marketing segment’s business.

Based on the market indicators above and our refinery throughputs, we estimate the following impacts on Refining & Marketing segment income from operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013:
The Chicago LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread decreased $2.72 per barrel for the second quarter and increased $0.90 per barrel for the first six months, which had a negative impact on segment income of $189 million for the second quarter and a positive impact on segment income of $90 million for the first six months.
The USGC LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased $2.55 per barrel for the second quarter and $2.47 per barrel for the first six months, which had positive impacts on segment income of $251 million and $463 million, respectively.
The LLS-WTI crude oil differential narrowed $8.09 per barrel for the second quarter and $10.85 per barrel for the first six months, which had negative impacts on segment income of $299 million and $718 million, respectively.
The sweet/sour crude oil differential widened $0.11 per barrel for the second quarter and narrowed $1.82 per barrel for the first six months, which had a positive impact on segment income of $21 million for the second quarter and a negative impact on segment income of $302 million for the first six months.

The above market indicators use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and products sold. Differences in our results compared to these market indicators, including product price realizations, mix and crude costs as well as other items like refinery yields and other feedstock variances, had estimated positive impacts on Refining & Marketing segment income of $657 million for the second quarter and $833 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. We believe product price realizations as compared to spot market values comprised a significant portion of the increases in segment income for both the second quarter and the first six months. We also believe the product price realizations as compared to spot market values in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were negatively impacted by volatility in the Chicago market and effects of the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Refinery direct operating costs increased $153 million, or $1.03 per barrel of total refinery throughput, in the second quarter and $774 million, or $2.55 per barrel of total refinery throughput, for the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, which include increases in other manufacturing costs of $0.71 per barrel and $1.38 per barrel, respectively, and an increase in planned turnaround and major maintenance of $1.05 per barrel for the first six months. The increases in other manufacturing costs were primarily attributable to higher energy and routine maintenance costs for both periods and higher catalyst expenses for the first six months. The increase in planned turnaround and major maintenance costs for the first six months was primarily due to significant planned turnaround and major maintenance activities at the Galveston Bay refinery.
We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our Renewable Fuel Standard compliance. Our expense associated with purchased RINs decreased to $22 million in the second quarter and $93 million in the first six months of 2014 from $65 million in the second quarter and $107 million in the first six months of 2013. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to decreases in the average cost of ethanol and biomass-based biodiesel RINs. The decrease in the first six months was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of biomass-based biodiesel RINs and a decrease in our estimated advanced biofuel obligation volume, partially offset by an increase in the average cost of ethanol RINs.

Speedway segment income from operations decreased $29 million in the second quarter and $38 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The severe weather conditions in the Midwest impacted all aspects of the business for the first quarter of 2014. The decreases in segment income were primarily due to decreases in our gasoline and distillate gross margin and increases in operating expenses, partially offset by increases in our merchandise gross margin. Speedway's gasoline and distillate gross margin decreased $32 million, or $0.0456 per gallon, for the second quarter and $40 million, or $0.0305 per gallon, for the first six months. Operating expenses were higher primarily due to an increase in the number of stores, as well as due to weather conditions for the six months. Our merchandise gross margin increased $12 million for the second quarter and $20 million for the first six months primarily due to a combination of higher merchandise and food sales and improved margins.

The six months ended June 30, 2013 includes the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Net cash provided by operating activities remained flat in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013. Net income decreased $258 million for the first six months, but was partially offset by favorable changes in working capital period over period of $170 million. Changes in working capital were a net $92 million use of cash in the first six months of 2014 compared to a net $262 million use of cash in the first six months of 2013. The net $92 million use of cash in the first six months of 2014 was primarily due to increases in inventories and current receivables, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Changes from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 per the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
Inventories increased $932 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to an increase in crude oil inventory volumes.
Current receivables increased $166 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to higher crude oil and refined product prices, partially offset by lower outstanding refined product volumes.
Accounts payable increased $700 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to higher crude oil payable prices and volumes.

The net $262 million use of cash in the first six months of 2013 was primarily due to increases in current receivables and inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Changes from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013 per the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
Current receivables increased $1.55 billion from year-end 2012, primarily due to higher refined product receivable volumes attributable to an increase in refined product sales volumes.
Inventories, excluding the impact of the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, increased $455 million from year-end 2012, primarily due to increases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes.
Accounts payable increased $1.82 billion from year-end 2012, primarily due to higher crude oil payable volumes related to the requirements of the Galveston Bay refinery acquired in February 2013 and lower crude oil purchases at the end of 2012 in preparation for turnaround and major maintenance activity. In addition, accounts payable increased from year-end 2012 due to higher crude oil prices at the end of the second quarter of 2013 compared to year-end 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2014 was $1.24 billion lower than the first six months of 2013, primarily due to the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition in February 2013, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in our Refining & Marketing segment in the first six months of 2014.
The consolidated statements of cash flows exclude changes to the consolidated balance sheets that did not affect cash. A reconciliation of additions to property, plant and equipment to reported total capital expenditures and investments follows.

The acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets comprised 74 percent of our total capital spending in the first six months of 2013.
Net cash used in investments in affiliates increased $151 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013, primarily due to our acquisition of an additional seven percent interest in Explorer for $77 million in March 2014 and our contributions to North Dakota Pipeline of $75 million to fund the Sandpiper pipeline project in the first six months of 2014.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by all other investing activities was $74 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to $22 million for the first six months of 2013, which consists primarily of sales of excess RINs of $71 million and $22 million, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2014 was $386 million lower than the first six months of 2013. The uses of cash for both periods were primarily for common stock repurchases under our share repurchase plans and dividend payments, partially offset in the first six months of 2014 by net long-term debt borrowings by MPLX.
Cash used in common stock repurchases in the first six months of 2014 was $165 million lower than the first six months of 2013. The table below summarizes our total share repurchases. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the share repurchase plans.

The six months ended June 30, 2013 includes one million shares received under the November 2012 accelerated share repurchase program, which were paid for in 2012.
Cash used in dividend payments increased $16 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013, primarily due to an increase in our dividend payments of $0.14 per common share, from $0.70 per share to $0.84 per share, partially offset by a decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock attributable to share repurchases.
Long-term debt borrowings and repayments was a net $244 million source of cash in the first six months of 2014 compared to a $10 million use of cash in the first six months of 2013. During the first six months of 2014, MPLX borrowed $270 million under its revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition of an additional interest in Pipe Line Holdings and subsequently repaid $15 million.

(a) 
Excludes MPLX’s $500 million revolving credit agreement, which had $245 million available as of June 30, 2014.
Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.
Our revolving credit agreement (the “MPC Credit Agreement”) and the MPLX Credit Agreement contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of these types. The financial covenant included in the MPC Credit Agreement requires us to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the MPC Credit Agreement) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with this debt covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization of 0.17 to 1.00, as well as the other covenants contained in the MPC Credit Agreement.

39

Table of Contents

The financial covenant included in the MPLX Credit Agreement requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of not greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). As of June 30, 2014, MPLX was in compliance with this debt covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 1.8 to 1.0, as well as the other covenants contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement.
Our intention is to maintain an investment grade credit profile. As of June 30, 2014, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were at or above investment grade level as follows.
Rating Agency
Rating
Moody’s
Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s
BBB (stable outlook)
The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.
Neither the MPC Credit Agreement, the MPLX Credit Agreement nor our trade receivables securitization facility contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt to below investment grade ratings would increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under the MPC Credit Agreement and our trade receivables securitization facility. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment grade levels could, under certain circumstances, decrease the amount of trade receivables that are eligible to be sold under our trade receivables securitization facility, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit under existing transportation services agreements.
Debt-to-Total-Capital Ratio
Our debt-to-total capital ratio (total debt to total debt-plus-equity) was 25 percent at June 30, 2014 and 23 percent at December 31, 2013.

Capital Requirements
We have a capital and investment budget for 2014 of $2.43 billion, excluding capitalized interest and the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, as discussed below. The budget includes spending on refining, retail marketing, transportation, logistics and brand marketing projects as well as amounts designated for corporate activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our capital expenditures and investments were $721 million, excluding capitalized interest. Other than the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, there have been no material changes to our 2014 capital and investment budget since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 was filed. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as conditions warrant.
Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, we may be required to pay to the seller a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid BP $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. See Notes 4 and 13 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

On May 21, 2014, Speedway entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Hess Corporation to purchase Hess Retail for total consideration of $2.874 billion, comprised of a cash purchase price of $2.37 billion, an estimated $230 million of net working capital and $274 million of capital lease obligations. The acquisition is expected to be funded with a combination of debt and available cash and is anticipated to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions.
MPLX had $255 million in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement at June 30, 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made no contributions to our funded pension plans. We have no required funding for 2014, but may do so at our discretion.
On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved a $0.50 per share dividend, payable September 10, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2014.
During the first six months of 2014, we paid $1.15 billion to acquire 13 million common shares through open market share repurchases. The effective average cost was $87.82 per delivered share. At June 30, 2014, we also had agreements to repurchase additional common shares for $12 million, which were settled in early July 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we had an outstanding repurchase authorization of $709 million, which expires in September 2015. On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 2016.
We may utilize various methods to effect additional repurchases, which could include open market purchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
The above discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to share repurchase authorizations and the pending acquisition of Hess Retail. Factors that could affect the share repurchase authorizations and the timing of any repurchases include, but are not limited to, business conditions, availability of liquidity and the market price of our common stock. Factors that could affect the pending acquisition of Hess Retail include, but are not limited to, our ability to successfully complete the pending acquisition of Hess Retail, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Contractual Cash Obligations
As of June 30, 2014, our contractual cash obligations included long-term debt, capital and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities. During the first six months of 2014, contracts to acquire property, plant and equipment increased $2.37 billion, other purchase obligations increased $230 million and capital lease obligations increased $274 million due to the pending acquisition of Hess Retail. Additionally, the MPLX Credit Agreement committed payments increased $265 million due to outstanding borrowings on the MPLX Credit Agreement, including interest and fees. There were no other material changes to our contractual cash obligations outside the ordinary course of business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to indemnities and guarantees that are described below. Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources.
We have provided various guarantees related to equity method investees. In conjunction with our spinoff from Marathon Oil, we entered into various indemnities and guarantees to Marathon Oil. These arrangements are described in Note 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Our opinions concerning liquidity and capital resources and our ability to avail ourselves in the future of the financing options mentioned in the above forward-looking statements are based on currently available information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, future availability of financing may be adversely affected. Factors that affect the availability of financing include our performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided by operating activities), the state of worldwide debt and equity markets, investor perceptions and expectations of past and future performance, the global financial climate, and, in particular, with respect to borrowings, the levels of our outstanding debt and credit ratings by rating agencies. The discussion of liquidity and capital resources above also contains forward-looking statements regarding expected capital and investment spending. The forward-looking statements about our capital and investment budget are based on current expectations, estimates and projections and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include prices of and demand for crude oil and refinery feedstocks and refined products, actions of competitors, delays in obtaining necessary third-party approvals, changes in labor, materials, and equipment costs and availability, planned and unplanned outages, the delay of, cancellation of or failure to implement planned capital projects, project cost overruns, disruptions or interruptions of our refining operations due to the shortage of skilled labor and unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response, and other operating and economic considerations.
Transactions with Related Parties
We believe that transactions with related parties were conducted under terms comparable to those with unrelated parties.
Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs
We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.
On March 3, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") signed the final Tier 3 fuel standards. The final Tier 3 fuel standards require, among other things, a lower annual average sulfur level in gasoline to no more than 10 parts per million ("ppm") beginning in calendar year 2017. In addition, gasoline refiners and importers may not exceed a maximum per-gallon sulfur standard of 80 ppm while retailers may not exceed a maximum per-gallon sulfur standard of 95 ppm. We anticipate that we will spend an estimated $750 million to $1 billion between 2014 and 2019 for capital expenditures necessary to comply with these standards.
There have been no other significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for the elimination of the concept of development stage entity ("DSE") from U.S. GAAP and removes the related incremental reporting. The standards update eliminates the additional financial statement requirements specific to a DSE. In addition, it amends the consolidation model by eliminating the special provisions in the variable interest entity rules for assessing the sufficiency of the equity of a DSE. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the amendment to the consolidation guidance will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the removal of the DSE reporting requirements will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarters of 2015 and 2016 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for revenue recognition that is aligned with the International Accounting Standards Board's revenue recognition standard issued on the same day. The guidance in the update states that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Recognition of the revenue will involve a multiple step approach including identifying the contract, identifying the separate performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the price to the performance obligations and then recognizing the revenue as the obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures will be required to provide adequate information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of reported revenues and revenues expected to be recognized. The accounting standards update will be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with no early adoption permitted. At this point, a final determination has not been made as to the impact of the adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2017. However, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that redefines the criteria for determining discontinued operations and introduces new disclosures related to these disposals. The updated definition of a discontinued operation is the disposal of a component(s) of an entity or the classification of a component(s) of an entity as held for sale that represents a strategic shift for an entity and has (or will have) a major impact on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard requires disclosure of additional financial information for discontinued operations and individually material components not qualifying for discontinued operation presentation, as well as information regarding an entity's continuing involvement with the discontinued operation. The accounting standards update is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2015 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For a detailed discussion of our risk management strategies and our derivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
See Notes 13 and 14 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
Sensitivity analysis of the effects on income from operations (“IFO”) of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of June 30, 2014 is provided in the following table.

We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.
We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after June 30, 2014 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.
Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt as of June 30, 2014 is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

At June 30, 2014, our portfolio of long-term debt was comprised of fixed-rate instruments and variable-rate borrowings under the MPLX Credit Agreement. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under the MPLX Credit Agreement, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Specific matters discussed below are either new proceedings or material developments in proceedings previously reported.
Litigation
We are a party to a number of lawsuits and other proceedings and cannot predict the outcome of every such matter with certainty. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Environmental Proceedings
As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, in January 2011, the EPA notified us of alleged violations of various statutory and regulatory provisions related to motor fuels, some of which we had previously self-reported to the EPA. Subsequently, we self-reported four additional alleged Clean Air Act violations related to motor fuels to the EPA. As a result of these allegations, we recently agreed to pay a $2.75 million civil penalty as well as undertake certain projects to reduce environmental emissions. The complaint and final settlement decree are not yet finalized, but the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
We are involved in a number of other environmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the resolution of these environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
