Phillips 66 reported a net income attributable to the company of $207.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, a significant decrease from $487 million in the same period of 2025. The decline in profitability was primarily attributed to a $1 billion gain from the sale of its investment in Coop Mineraloel AG recognized in early 2025, as well as lower marketing fuel margins driven by commodity derivative activities. Total revenues and other income for the quarter increased to $33 billion, up from $31.7 billion year-over-year, largely due to higher sales of refined petroleum products, which rose to $24.9 billion from $22.2 billion.
In terms of operational changes, Phillips 66 completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in WRB Refining LP from Cenovus Energy for $1.3 billion on October 1, 2025. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company's refining capabilities and integrate its operations more fully. Additionally, the company reported a 7% increase in sales and other operating revenues, driven by higher refined product sales volumes, although this was partially offset by losses from commodity derivative activities.
The company’s operational metrics showed a notable increase in refining margins, with the composite 3:2:1 market crack spread averaging $20.56 per barrel in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $15.83 per barrel in the same quarter of 2025. This improvement was supported by stronger demand for petroleum diesel and reduced global product resupply due to geopolitical events. Phillips 66's refining capacity utilization rate also improved to 95% from 80% year-over-year, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, Phillips 66 has set a capital expenditure budget of $2.4 billion for 2026, focusing on growth in its Midstream and Chemicals segments. The company aims to reduce total debt to $17 billion and improve its debt-to-capital ratio by the end of 2027. The ongoing geopolitical tensions and fluctuations in commodity prices are expected to continue influencing market conditions, which could impact future financial performance. The company remains committed to returning over 50% of net cash provided by operating activities to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, with a quarterly dividend of $1.27 per share declared in February and April 2026.
