In the first quarter of 2024, the company recorded an $89 million charge resulting from the quarterly fair-value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation.

"In the first quarter, our team safely and successfully completed the largest planned maintenance quarter in MPC history, including at four of our largest refineries," said Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Hennigan. "This positions us to meet the high demand of summer travel season. Additionally, we are advancing our midstream growth strategy through disciplined organic investments and targeted bolt-on acquisitions. This quarter we returned $2.5 billion through share repurchases and dividends, bringing MPC's total capital returned to $35 billion since May 2021. Today, we announced a $5 billion increase to our share repurchase authorization, further demonstrating our commitment to return capital."

Refining & Marketing (R&M)
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2024, versus $3.9 billion for the first quarter of 2023. R&M segment adjusted EBITDA was $7.73 per barrel for the first quarter of 2024, versus $15.09 per barrel for the first quarter of 2023. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes refining planned turnaround costs, which totaled $648 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $357 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven by lower market crack spreads and lower throughputs.
R&M margin was $18.99 per barrel for the first quarter of 2024, versus $26.15 per barrel for the first quarter of 2023. Crude capacity utilization was approximately 82%, resulting in total throughput of 2.7 million barrels per day for the first quarter of 2024.
The company completed $648 million of planned turnaround activity in the first quarter of 2024, the highest level in company history. Turnarounds lowered utilization to 82%, which contributed to refining operating costs per barrel of $6.14.
Midstream
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2024, versus $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The results were primarily driven by higher rates and higher processing volumes.
Corporate and Items Not Allocated
Corporate expenses totaled $228 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $184 million in the first quarter of 2023. The variance was driven by the portion of the fair value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation attributed to Corporate.
Financial Position, Liquidity, and Return of Capital
As of March 31, 2024, MPC had $7.6 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and $5 billion available on its bank revolving credit facility.
In the first quarter, the company returned approximately $2.5 billion of capital to shareholders through $2.2 billion of share repurchases and $299 million of dividends. Through April 26, the company repurchased an additional $0.8 billion of company shares.
Additionally, the Board of Directors has approved an incremental $5 billion share repurchase authorization. With the addition of this new authorization, the company currently has approximately $8.8 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations. The company may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Strategic and Operations Update
MPC's 2024 capital spending plan includes executing on a multi-year infrastructure investment at its Los Angeles refinery and the construction of a 90,000 barrel per day distillate hydrotreater at its Galveston Bay refinery. In addition to these large projects, the company is executing on smaller projects that offer high returns targeted at enhancing refinery yields, improving energy efficiency, and lowering costs.
MPLX is advancing growth projects anchored in the Marcellus and Permian basins. MPLX's integrated footprints in these basins have positioned the partnership with a steady source of opportunities to expand its value chains. In the Permian, startup is commencing on the 200 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) Preakness ll processing plant. In the Marcellus, the 200 mmcf/d Harmon Creek ll processing plant was placed into operation in the first quarter.
MPLX enhanced its Utica footprint through the acquisition of additional ownership interest in existing joint ventures and a dry gas gathering system for $625 million. The transaction closed in March 2024. Additionally, MPLX announced the expansion of its Permian natural gas value chain, increasing its footprint in the region for future growth. MPLX entered into a definitive agreement to strategically combine the Whistler Pipeline and Rio Bravo Pipeline project in a newly formed joint venture. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
