- Refinery: Contributed $218 million in Adjusted EBITDA, a new segment resulting from the Parkland Acquisition (Burnaby Refinery).

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Capital Expenditures: Management expects full-year 2026 maintenance capex of $400–$450 million and growth capex of at least $600 million.
- Liquidity: The company maintains a $2.5 billion Credit Facility with $2.32 billion available as of June 30, 2026. No borrowings were outstanding on the facility at period end.
- Debt Management: In March 2026, the company issued $1.2 billion in new senior notes (due 2031 and 2034) to refinance higher-cost debt maturing in 2026 and 2027. Parkland senior notes were also redeemed.
- Risks and Contingencies:
- Regulatory: Ongoing FERC proceedings regarding oil pipeline indexed rates and potential rate adjustments.
- Tax: Exposure to OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax; currently estimated as immaterial for 2026.
- Legal: Climate change litigation in Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont; New York motor fuel excise tax audit (~$20 million assessment).
- Market: Volatility in fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates (notably a $114 million foreign currency loss in H1 2026).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Acquisition Integration: Verify the successful integration of Parkland, TanQuid, and Delta assets and the realization of projected synergies.
- Inventory Valuation Impact: Assess the sustainability of the $426 million favorable inventory adjustment and the risk of future LIFO liquidations or unfavorable adjustments.
- Debt Refinancing: Confirm the terms and interest rate savings from the March 2026 debt issuance and the redemption of higher-coupon notes.
- Regulatory Rate Orders: Monitor the outcome of FERC appeals regarding pipeline rate indices, which could impact future revenue in the Pipeline Systems segment.
- Foreign Currency Exposure: Review hedging strategies given the significant foreign currency translation losses and the expansion into European and Caribbean markets.
