Par Pacific NYSE: PARR reported second-quarter results that management said were driven by elevated refining margins, high system throughput and commercial execution during a volatile market environment. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $571 million in the quarter, while adjusted net income was $499 million, or $10.10 per share, CFO Shawn Flores said. Refining adjusted EBITDA rose to $552 million from $69 million in the first quarter as crude and refined-product supply disruptions supported market conditions. The company’s combined refining index averaged about $33 per barrel, compared with $12.40 per barrel for the full year 2025 and roughly $14 per barrel higher than in the first quarter.

He attributed the favorable environment to reduced Persian Gulf and Russian refined-product exports, conservative refining runs in Asia and policies that restricted free trade. He added that global refined-product inventories remain tight.
