Business Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its Consolidated Financial Statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 14 - Noncontrolling Interests”). PBF Energy holds a 99.3% economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2025 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.7% economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. Additionally, PBF LLC, together with its subsidiaries, own an interest in an equity method investment in St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”) that owns and operates a biorefinery co-located with the Chalmette refinery in Louisiana (the “Renewable Diesel Facility”). Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires. Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products and represent the Refining segment. PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”) operates logistics assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. The Logistics segment consists solely of PBFX’s operations. Investment in Equity Method Investee On June 27, 2023, the Company contributed certain assets to SBR, a jointly held investment between the Company and Eni Sustainable Mobility US. Inc., a controlled subsidiary of Eni S.p.A. (collectively “Eni”). The Company accounts for its 50% equity ownership of SBR as an equity method investment, as the Company has significant influence, but not control, over SBR. Martinez Refinery Fire On February 1, 2025, a fire occurred at the Company’s Martinez refinery, which is owned and operated by Martinez Refinery Company LLC (“MRC”), while the refinery was in the preliminary stages of its previously announced turnaround (the “Martinez refinery fire”). As a result, the refinery was fully shut down until April 2025, when certain unaffected units, including the crude unit, were restarted and the refinery began producing limited quantities of gasoline, jet fuel, and intermediates. Investigations are being conducted by various regulatory agencies, including the California Department of Industrial Relations - the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“CalOSHA”), the Bay Area Air District (“BAAD”), Contra Costa County (“CCC”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the United States Attorney’s Office (“USAO”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and the Chemical Safety Board. There are uncertainties around these inquiries and investigations and potential results and consequences, including whether any financial penalties will be assessed or changes to the operations of the Martinez refinery will result therefrom. At this time, the potential liabilities, including regulatory penalties, arising from the incident are unknown, and the full financial impact of this incident cannot reasonably be estimated. Construction activities are expected to be complete by February 16, 2026. The commissioning phase of utility systems and certain idled equipment has been underway since early January, and a sequenced restart of the refinery will progress following successful completion of quality assurance and control processes. The Company expects that start-up of the Catalytic Cracking Unit will be complete in the first week of March.…
