Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business—As used in this report, the terms “MPC,” “we,” “us,” “the Company” or “our” may refer to Marathon Petroleum Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole.

Our business consists of refining and marketing, retail marketing and pipeline transportation operations conducted primarily in the Midwest, Gulf Coast, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States, through subsidiaries, including Marathon Petroleum Company LP, Speedway LLC and MPLX LP and its subsidiaries (“MPLX”).

See Note 9 for additional information about our operations.

Basis of Presentation—All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

During the first quarter of 2014, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment for additional expenses related to the prior year's bonus programs of $29 million, included in total costs and expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The impact to our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 was immaterial. We do not expect this adjustment to have a material impact to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

2. Accounting Standards

Not Yet Adopted

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update requiring management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Management will be required to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt and the type of disclosure will be determined based on whether management's plans will be able to alleviate the substantial doubt. The accounting standards update will be effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for the elimination of the concept of development stage entity ("DSE") from U.S. GAAP and removes the related incremental reporting. The standards update eliminates the additional financial statement requirements specific to a DSE. In addition, it amends the consolidation model by eliminating the special provisions in the variable interest entity rules for assessing the sufficiency of the equity of a DSE. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the amendment to the consolidation guidance will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The portion of the accounting standards update related to the removal of the DSE reporting requirements will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarters of 2015 and 2016 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for revenue recognition that is aligned with the International Accounting Standards Board's revenue recognition standard issued on the same day. The guidance in the update states that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Recognition of the revenue will involve a multiple step approach including identifying the contract, identifying the separate performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the price to the performance obligations and then recognizing the revenue as the obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures will be required to provide adequate information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of reported revenues and revenues expected to be recognized. The accounting standards update will be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with no early adoption permitted. At this point, a final determination has not been made as to the impact of the adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2017. However, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that redefines the criteria for determining discontinued operations and introduces new disclosures related to these disposals. The updated definition of a discontinued operation is the disposal of a component (or components) of an entity or the classification of a component (or components) of an entity as held for sale that represents a strategic shift for an entity and has (or will have) a major impact on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard requires disclosure of additional financial information for discontinued operations and individually material components not qualifying for discontinued operation presentation, as well as information regarding an entity's continuing involvement with the discontinued operation. The accounting standards update is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2015 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

3. MPLX LP

MPLX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed by us to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets related to the transportation and storage of crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products. We own a 73.6 percent interest in MPLX, including the two percent general partner interest. We consolidate this entity for financial reporting purposes since we have a controlling financial interest, and we record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public.

MPLX’s initial assets consisted of a 51 percent general partner interest in MPLX Pipe Line Holdings LP (“Pipe Line Holdings”), which owns a network of common carrier crude oil and product pipeline systems and associated storage assets in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, and a 100 percent interest in a butane storage cavern in West Virginia. On May 1, 2013, we sold a five percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings to MPLX for $100 million.

Effective March 1, 2014, we sold MPLX a 13 percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings for $310 million, increasing MPLX's ownership interest in Pipe Line Holdings to 69 percent. MPLX financed this transaction with $40 million of cash on-hand and $270 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit agreement.

The sales of our interests in Pipeline Holdings to MPLX resulted in a change of our ownership in Pipeline Holdings, but not a change in control. We accounted for the sales as equity transactions and did not record a gain or loss.

4. Acquisitions and Investments

Acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets

On September 30, 2014, we acquired from Hess Corporation ("Hess") all of Hess' retail locations, transport operations and shipper history on various pipelines, including approximately 40,000 barrels per day on Colonial Pipeline for $2.82 billion. We refer to these assets as “Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets.” The transaction was funded with a combination of debt and available cash.

The transaction provides for an adjustment for working capital, which has not been finalized with Hess. If a change is made for working capital, the fair value of the assets acquired will be revised.

Table of Contents

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of an independent appraisal and other evaluations, are as follows:



(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	39
Receivables	132
Inventories	178
Other current assets	5
Property, plant and equipment, net	2,062
Other noncurrent assets	103
Total assets acquired	2,519
Accounts payable	77
Payroll and benefits payable	4
Consumer excise taxes payable	80
Other current liabilities	10
Defined benefit postretirement plan obligations	2
Deferred credits and other liabilities	122
Total liabilities assumed	295
Net assets acquired excluding goodwill	2,224
Goodwill	600
Net assets acquired	$	2,824

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $600 million in goodwill by our Speedway segment, which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill recognized for the acquisition primarily relates to the expected benefits of a significantly expanded retail platform that should enable growth in new markets, as well as the potential for higher merchandise sales. We also expect strategic benefits from the financial and operational scale we expect to realize across our entire retail network. This acquisition significantly expands our Speedway presence from nine to 22 states throughout the East Coast and Southeast and is aligned with our strategy to grow higher-valued, stable cash flow businesses. This acquisition also enables us to further leverage our integrated refining and transportation operations, providing an outlet for an incremental 200,000 barrels per day of assured sales from our refining system.

Other noncurrent assets includes a $22 million intangible asset related to a trade name and $60 million related to favorable lease contract terms. Deferred credits and other liabilities includes $80 million related to unfavorable lease contract terms. The trade name is being amortized over its estimated useful life of two years based on the utilization of the assets. The favorable and unfavorable lease contract amounts are being amortized over the terms of the leases.

We recognized $12 million of acquisition-related costs associated with Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets acquisition. These costs were expensed and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Acquisition of Refinery and Related Logistics and Marketing Assets

On February 1, 2013, we acquired from BP Products North America Inc. and BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. (collectively, “BP”) the 451,000 barrel per calendar day refinery in Texas City, Texas, three intrastate natural gas liquid pipelines originating at the refinery, four light product terminals, branded-jobber marketing contract assignments for the supply of approximately 1,200 branded sites, a 1,040 megawatt electric cogeneration facility and a 50,000 barrel per day allocation of space on Colonial Pipeline. We refer to these assets as the “Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.” We paid $1.49 billion for these assets, which included $935 million for inventory. The transaction was funded with cash on hand. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we may also be required to pay BP a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid BP $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, $172 million of the contingent earnout payment is included as a financing activity with the remainder included as an operating activity. See Note 15 for additional information on the contingent consideration.

Table of Contents

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents consolidated results assuming the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012 and Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma financial information does not give effect to potential synergies that could result from the acquisitions and is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Sales and other operating revenues (including consumer excise taxes)	$	28,284	$	29,317	$	84,232	$	86,386
Net income attributable to MPC	698		170		1,748		1,516
Net income attributable to MPC per share - basic	$	2.48	$	0.55	$	6.07	$	4.72
Net income attributable to MPC per share - diluted	2.46		0.55		6.03		4.69

The pro forma information includes adjustments to align accounting policies, an adjustment to depreciation expense to reflect the fair value of property, plant and equipment, increased amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets, additional interest expense related to financing the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets, as well as the related income tax effects.

Acquisitions of Convenience Stores

During 2013, Speedway acquired nine convenience stores located in Tennessee, western Indiana and western Pennsylvania. In connection with these acquisitions, our Speedway segment recorded $8 million of goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes.

The principal factors contributing to a purchase price resulting in goodwill included the acquired stores complementing our existing network in our Midwest market, access to our refined product transportation systems and the potential for higher merchandise sales.

Acquisition of Biodiesel Facility

On April 1, 2014, we purchased a facility in Cincinnati, Ohio from Felda Iffco Sdn Bhd, Malaysia for $40 million. The plant currently produces biodiesel, glycerin and other by-products. The capacity of the plant is approximately 60 million gallons per year.

Neither goodwill nor a gain from a bargain purchase was recognized in conjunction with the biodiesel facility acquisition.

Assuming the acquisitions of the convenience stores in 2013 and the biodiesel facility in 2014 had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.

Investments in Ethanol Companies

On August 1, 2013, we acquired from Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc. its interests in three ethanol companies for $75 million. Under the purchase agreement, we acquired an additional 24 percent interest in The Andersons Clymers Ethanol LLC ("TACE"), bringing our ownership interest to 60 percent; a 34 percent interest in The Andersons Ethanol Investment LLC ("TAEI"), which holds a 50 percent ownership in The Andersons Marathon Ethanol LLC ("TAME"), bringing our direct and indirect ownership interest in TAME to 67 percent; and a 40 percent interest in The Andersons Albion Ethanol LLC ("TAAE"), which owns an ethanol production facility in Albion, Michigan. On October 1, 2013, our ownership interest in TAAE increased to 43 percent as a result of TAAE acquiring one of the owner's interest. We hold a noncontrolling interest in each of these entities and account for them using the equity method of accounting since the minority owners have substantive participating rights.

Investments in Pipeline Companies

In July 2014, we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.'s Southern Access Extension pipeline ("SAX") through our investment in Illinois Extension Pipeline Company, LLC ("Illinois Extension Pipeline"). During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made contributions of $97 million to Illinois Extension Pipeline to fund our portion of the construction costs incurred-to-date on the SAX project. We account for our ownership interest in Illinois Extension Pipeline as an equity method investment. See Note 22 for information on future contributions to Illinois Extension Pipeline.

In March 2014, we acquired from Chevron Raven Ridge Pipe Line Company an additional seven percent interest in Explorer Pipeline Company ("Explorer") for $77 million, bringing our ownership interest to 25 percent. As a result of this increase in our ownership, we now account for our investment in Explorer using the equity method of accounting rather than the cost method. The cumulative impact of the change was applied as an adjustment to 2014 retained earnings.

In November 2013, we agreed to serve as an anchor shipper for the Sandpiper pipeline project and fund 37.5 percent of the construction costs of the project, which will become part of Enbridge Energy Partners L.P.'s ("Enbridge Energy Partners") North Dakota System. In exchange for these commitments, we will earn an approximate 27 percent equity interest in Enbridge Energy Partners' North Dakota System when the Sandpiper pipeline is placed into service. We also have the option to increase our ownership interest to approximately 30 percent through additional investments in future system improvements. We made contributions of $149 million to North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC ("North Dakota Pipeline") during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We have contributed $173 million since project inception. We account for our interest in North Dakota Pipeline using the equity method of accounting. See Note 22 for information on future contributions to North Dakota Pipeline.

5. Variable Interest Entity

As stated in Note 4, we have a 35 percent ownership interest in Illinois Extension Pipeline through our contributions to the SAX project. Illinois Extension Pipeline Company LLC is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE") because it is a development stage entity and the equity in the entity is not sufficient to fund the current stage of development, which is the construction of the SAX pipeline. Our maximum exposure to loss due to this VIE at September 30, 2014 was $97 million, which equates to our contributions to-date to fund our portion of the construction costs for the project.

We are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE and, therefore, do not consolidate it because we do not have the power to control the activities that significantly influence the economic activities of the entity. The activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance during the construction phase are the actual construction costs and risks associated with the construction process. Through our vote, we have shared power to direct the construction activities, but do not have the sole ability to control the construction activities.

6. Related Party Transactions

Our related parties include:


•	Centennial Pipeline LLC (“Centennial”), in which we have a 50 percent noncontrolling interest. Centennial owns a refined products pipeline and storage facility.


•	Explorer, in which we have a 25 percent interest. Explorer owns and operates a refined products pipeline.


•	LOCAP LLC ("LOCAP"), in which we have a 59 percent noncontrolling interest. LOCAP owns and operates a crude oil pipeline.


•	LOOP LLC (“LOOP”), in which we have a 51 percent noncontrolling interest. LOOP owns and operates the only U.S. deepwater oil port.


•	TAAE, in which we have a 43 percent noncontrolling interest, TACE, in which we have a 60 percent noncontrolling interest and TAME, in which we have a 67 percent direct and indirect noncontrolling interest. These companies each own an ethanol production facility.

7. Income per Common Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to MPC by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share assumes exercise of certain stock-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents

MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities. Due to the presence of participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two-class method.

8. Equity

On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 2016. As of September 30, 2014, our board of directors had approved $8.0 billion in total share repurchase authorizations since January 1, 2012 and we have repurchased a total of $5.59 billion of our common stock, leaving $2.41 billion available for repurchases. Under these authorizations, we have acquired 82 million shares at an average cost per share of $68.41.

We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

Total share repurchases were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

^(a)	The nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes one million shares received under the November 2012 accelerated share repurchase program, which were paid for in 2012.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2014, we had agreements to acquire additional common shares for $9 million, which were settled in early October 2014.

9. Segment Information

We have three reportable segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Pipeline Transportation. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•

Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States, purchases ethanol and refined products for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including barges, terminals and trucks that we own or operate. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to our Speedway segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate Marathon^® retail outlets.


•	Speedway – with the acquisition of Hess' retail operations effective September 30, 2014, sells transportation fuels and convenience products in retail markets in the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast.


•	Pipeline Transportation – transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined products to wholesale and retail market areas and includes the aggregated operations of MPLX and MPC’s retained pipeline assets and investments.

On February 1, 2013, we acquired the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, which are part of the Refining & Marketing and Pipeline Transportation segments. On September 30, 2014, we acquired Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets, which are part of the Speedway and Refining & Marketing segments. Segment information for the periods prior to each acquisition do not include amounts for these operations. See Note 4.

Segment income represents income from operations attributable to the reportable segments. Corporate administrative expenses and costs related to certain non-operating assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. In addition, certain items that affect comparability (as determined by the chief operating decision maker) are not allocated to the reportable segments.

11. Income Taxes

The combined federal, state and foreign income tax rate was 33 percent and 32 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 34 percent for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is slightly less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to certain permanent benefit differences, including the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state and local tax expense.

Prior to the June 30, 2011 spinoff transaction from Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon Oil”), we were included in Marathon Oil’s income tax returns for all applicable years. During 2011, we anticipated a future settlement between Marathon Oil and us upon the filing of Marathon Oil’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns for the period prior to June 30, 2011. During the second quarter of 2013, we settled with Marathon Oil for the 2011 period based on filed tax returns, resulting in a $39 million increase to additional paid-in capital.

We are continuously undergoing examination of our income tax returns, which have been completed for our U.S. federal and state income tax returns through the 2009 and 2003 tax years, respectively. We had $16 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2014. Pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with Marathon Oil, the unrecognized tax benefits related to pre-spinoff operations for which Marathon Oil was the taxpayer remain the responsibility of Marathon Oil and we have indemnified Marathon Oil accordingly. See Note 22 for indemnification information.

Fair Values—Recurring

The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by fair value hierarchy level. We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the following tables.

^(a)	Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash collateral of $0 million and $32 million, respectively, was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.


^(b)	We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.


^(c)	Includes $193 million and $159 million classified as current at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Commodity derivatives in Level 1 are exchange-traded contracts for crude oil and refined products measured at fair value with a market approach using the close-of-day settlement prices for the market. Commodity derivatives are covered under master netting agreements with an unconditional right to offset. Collateral deposits in futures commission merchant accounts covered by master netting agreements related to Level 1 commodity derivatives are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The contingent consideration represents the fair value as of September 30, 2014 of the amount we expect to pay to BP related to the earnout provision for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition. See Note 4. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using an income approach and is therefore a Level 3 liability. The amount of cash to be paid under the arrangement is based on both a market-based crack spread and refinery throughput volumes for the months during which the contract applies, as well as established thresholds that cap the annual and total payment. The earnout payment cannot exceed $200 million per year for the first three years of the arrangement or $250 million per year for the last three years of the arrangement, with the total cumulative payment capped at $700 million over the six-year period. Any excess or shortfall from the annual cap for a current year’s earnout calculation will not affect subsequent years’ calculations. The fair value calculation used significant unobservable inputs, including (1) an estimate of refinery throughput volumes; (2) a range of internal and external crack spread forecasts from $14 to $15 per barrel; and (3) a range of risk-adjusted discount rates from five percent to 10 percent. An increase or decrease in crack spread forecasts or refinery throughput volume expectations may result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the fair value. Increases to the fair value as a result of increasing forecasts for both of these unobservable inputs, however, are limited as the earnout payment is subject to annual caps. An increase or decrease in the discount rate may result in a decrease or increase to the fair value, respectively. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed each quarter, with changes in fair value recorded in cost of revenues.

Fair Values – Nonrecurring

The following table shows the values of assets, by major category, measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition.

Other noncurrent assets	—		11		—		—

Based on the financial and operational status of a company in which we have an interest, we fully impaired our $11 million investment in that company during the second quarter of 2014. Our investment in this company was accounted for using the cost method and was included in our Refining & Marketing segment. The impairment is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of our investment in this cost company was measured using an income approach. This measurement is classified as Level 3.

Due to changing market conditions, we assessed one of our light products terminals for impairment. The terminal is operated by our Refining & Marketing segment. We recorded an impairment charge of $8 million for this terminal in 2013. The impairment is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the terminal was measured using a market approach based on comparable area property values, which are Level 3 inputs.

Fair Values – Reported

The following table summarizes financial instruments on the basis of their nature, characteristics and risk at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excluding the derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration reported above.



	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(In millions)	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Financial assets:

^(a)	Excludes capital leases

Our current assets and liabilities include financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payables. We believe the carrying values of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the short-term duration of the instruments, (2) our investment-grade credit rating and (3) our historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.

Fair values of our financial assets included in investments and other financial assets and of our financial liabilities included in deferred credits and other liabilities are measured primarily using an income approach and most inputs are internally generated, which results in a Level 3 classification. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using a rate deemed appropriate to obtain the fair value. Other financial assets primarily consist of environmental remediation receivables. Deferred credits and other liabilities primarily consist of insurance liabilities and environmental remediation liabilities.

Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt is measured using a market approach, based upon the average of quotes from major financial institutions and a third-party service for our debt. Because these quotes cannot be independently verified to the market, they are considered Level 3 inputs. Fair value of variable-rate long-term debt approximates the carrying value.

16. Derivatives

For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 15. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil and (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products.

The following table presents the gross fair values of derivative instruments, excluding cash collateral, and where they appear on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

^(a)	The $20 million gain on the termination of our interest rate swap agreements in 2012 is being amortized over the remaining life of the 3.50 percent senior notes.

There were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the MPC revolving credit agreement or the trade receivables securitization facility at September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, MPLX borrowed $270 million under the MPLX Operations LLC revolving credit agreement (the "MPLX Credit Agreement"), at an average interest rate of 1.5 percent, per annum, and repaid $15 million of these borrowings. The borrowings were used to fund MPLX's March 2014 acquisition of an additional interest in Pipe Line Holdings. At September 30, 2014, MPLX had $255 million of borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the MPLX Credit Agreement, resulting in total unused loan availability of $245 million, or 49 percent of the borrowing capacity. The MPLX Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2017.

Term Loan Agreement

On August 26, 2014, we entered into a $700 million five-year senior unsecured term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. The Term Loan Agreement matures on September 24, 2019 and may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. We are obligated to pay certain customary fees under the Term Loan Agreement, including an annual administrative fee.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at either of the following rates at our election (i) the sum of the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus a margin ranging between 0.875 percent to 1.75 percent, depending on our credit ratings, or (ii) the sum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus a margin ranging between zero percent to 0.75 percent, depending on our credit ratings. The interest rate during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 1.3 percent.

The Term Loan Agreement contains representation and warranties, covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the MPC revolving credit agreement, including a financial covenant, which requires us to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00.

Senior Notes

On September 5, 2014, we completed a public offering of $1.95 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes"), consisting of $750 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2024, $800 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2044 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2054. The net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes were approximately $1.915 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. Interest on each series of Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2015.

The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ours and rank equally with all our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made contributions of $16 million to our funded pension plans. Current benefit payments related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans were $22 million and $17 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we determined that lump sum payments to employees retiring in the respective years will exceed the plans’ total service and interest costs for the year. Settlement losses are required to be recorded when lump sum payments exceed total service and interest costs. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded pension settlement expenses of $90 million and $83 million related to our cumulative lump sum payments made during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

22. Commitments and Contingencies

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below, including those resulting from the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. For matters for which we have not recorded an accrued liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings and discovery. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Environmental matters—We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $182 million and $123 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties if any that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, was $71 million and $51 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We are involved in a number of environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Lawsuits—In May 2007, the Kentucky attorney general filed a lawsuit against us and Marathon Oil in state court in Franklin County, Kentucky for alleged violations of Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The lawsuit alleges that we overcharged customers by $89 million during September and October 2005. The complaint seeks disgorgement of these sums, as well as penalties, under Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws. We are vigorously defending this litigation. We believe that this is the first lawsuit for damages and injunctive relief under the Kentucky emergency pricing laws to progress this far and it contains many novel issues. In May 2011, the Kentucky attorney general amended his complaint to include a request for immediate injunctive relief as well as unspecified damages and penalties related to our wholesale gasoline pricing in April and May 2011 under statewide price controls that were activated by the Kentucky governor on April 26, 2011 and which have since expired. The court denied the attorney general’s request for immediate injunctive relief, and the remainder of the 2011 claims likely will be resolved along with those dating from 2005. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably in its entirety, it could materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this litigation will have a material adverse effect.

We are a defendant in a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees—We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.

Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees—We hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, we are required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements vary but tend to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2037. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $172 million as of September 30, 2014.

We hold an interest in a refined products pipeline through our investment in Centennial, and have guaranteed the payment of Centennial’s principal, interest and prepayment costs, if applicable, under a Master Shelf Agreement, which is scheduled to expire in 2024. The guarantee arose in order for Centennial to obtain adequate financing. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this agreement for debt principal totaled $39 million as of September 30, 2014.

We hold an interest in an ethanol production facility through our investment in TAME, and through our participation as a lender under TAME’s revolving credit agreement, have agreed to reimburse the bank for 50 percent of any amounts drawn on a letter of credit that has been issued to secure TAME’s repayment of the tax exempt bonds. The credit agreement expires in 2018. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this arrangement were $25 million at September 30, 2014.

Marathon Oil indemnifications—In conjunction with our spinoff from Marathon Oil, we have entered into arrangements with Marathon Oil providing indemnities and guarantees with recorded values of $2 million as of September 30, 2014, which consist of unrecognized tax benefits related to MPC, its consolidated subsidiaries and the refining, marketing and transportation business operations prior to our spinoff which are not already reflected in the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 11, and other contingent liabilities Marathon Oil may incur related to taxes. Furthermore, the separation and distribution agreement and other agreements with Marathon Oil to effect our spinoff provide for cross-indemnities between Marathon Oil and us. In general, Marathon Oil is required to indemnify us for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical oil and gas exploration and production operations, oil sands mining operations and integrated gas operations, and we are required to indemnify Marathon Oil for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical refining, marketing and transportation operations. The terms of these indemnifications are indefinite and the amounts are not capped.

Table of Contents

Other guarantees—We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $122 million as of September 30, 2014, which primarily consist of a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events, up to $50 million per event, in lieu of procuring insurance coverage, an indemnity to the co-lenders associated with an equity method investee’s credit agreement, and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.

General guarantees associated with dispositions – Over the years, we have sold various assets in the normal course of our business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require us to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. We are typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriate method for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.

Contractual commitments—At September 30, 2014, our contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and advance funds to equity method investees totaled $1.8 billion, which includes $520 million of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, $751 million for contributions to North Dakota Pipeline and $208 million for contributions to the SAX project. See Note 4 for additional information on our investments in North Dakota Pipeline and the SAX project. See Notes 4 and 15 for additional information on the contingent consideration.


23.	Subsequent Event

On October 29, 2014, our board of directors authorized the sale of MPC's remaining 31 percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings to MPLX. Upon completion, we will account for the sale as an equity transaction and will not record a gain or loss.

Corporate Overview

We are an independent petroleum refining and marketing, retail marketing and pipeline transportation company. We currently own and operate seven refineries, all located in the United States, with an aggregate crude oil refining capacity of approximately 1.7 million barrels per calendar day. Our refineries supply refined products to resellers and consumers within our market areas, including the Midwest, Gulf Coast, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States. We distribute refined products to our customers through one of the largest private domestic fleets of inland petroleum product barges, one of the largest terminal operations in the United States, and a combination of MPC-owned and third-party-owned trucking and rail assets. We are one of the largest wholesale suppliers of gasoline and distillates to resellers within our market area.

We have two strong retail brands: Speedway^® and Marathon^®. We believe that Speedway LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, operates the second largest chain of company-owned and operated retail gasoline and convenience stores in the United States, with approximately 2,740 convenience stores in 22 states throughout the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast. The Marathon brand is an established motor fuel brand in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States, and is available through approximately 5,400 retail outlets operated by independent entrepreneurs in 19 states.

We currently own, lease or have ownership interests in approximately 8,300 miles of crude oil and refined product pipelines to deliver crude oil to our refineries and other locations and refined products to wholesale and retail market areas. We are one of the largest petroleum pipeline companies in the United States on the basis of total volumes delivered.

Our operations consist of three reportable operating segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Pipeline Transportation. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•

Refining & Marketing—refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our seven refineries in the Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States, purchases ethanol and refined products for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including barges, terminals and trucks that we own or operate. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, buyers on the spot market, our Speedway business segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate Marathon^® retail outlets.


•	Speedway—with the acquisition of Hess' retail operations effective September 30, 2014, sells transportation fuels and convenience products in the retail market in the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.


•	Pipeline Transportation—transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined products to wholesale and retail market areas and includes the aggregated operations of MPLX and MPC’s retained pipeline assets and investments.

Net income attributable to MPC increased $504 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, in the third quarter and $240 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to our Refining & Marketing segment.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations increased $744 million in the third quarter and $358 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and higher U.S. Gulf Coast (“USGC”) and Chicago crack spreads, partially offset by increases in refinery direct operating costs in both periods of 2014 and narrower Light Louisiana Sweet ("LLS") - West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") and sweet/sour differentials in the first nine months of 2014.

Pipeline Transportation segment income from operations increased $15 million in the third quarter and $59 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to higher pipeline transportation revenue and income from our pipeline affiliates, partially offset by increases in operating expenses primarily attributable to the proposed Cornerstone pipeline project for both periods of 2014 and pipeline maintenance in the third quarter of 2014.

MPLX LP

We own a 73.6 percent interest in MPLX, including the two percent general partner interest. Effective March 1, 2014, we sold MPLX a 13 percent interest in Pipe Line Holdings for $310 million, increasing MPLX's ownership interest in Pipe Line Holdings to 69 percent. MPLX financed this transaction with $40 million of cash on-hand and $270 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit agreement. See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on MPLX.

The following table summarizes the cash distributions we received from MPLX during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013.

Acquisitions and Investments

On September 30, 2014, we acquired from Hess all of its retail locations, transport operations and shipper history on various pipelines, including approximately 40,000 barrels per day on Colonial Pipeline for $2.82 billion. We refer to these assets as “Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets” and substantially all of these assets are part of our Speedway segment. This acquisition significantly expands our Speedway presence from nine to 22 states throughout the East Coast and Southeast and is aligned with our strategy to grow higher-valued, stable cash flow businesses. This acquisition also enables us to further leverage our integrated refining and transportation operations, providing an outlet for an incremental 200,000 barrels per day of assured sales from our refining system. The transaction was funded with a combination of debt and available cash. Our financial results and operating statistics for the periods prior to the acquisition do not include amounts for Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on this acquisition.

On February 1, 2013, we acquired from BP the 451,000 barrel per calendar day refinery in Texas City, Texas, three intrastate natural gas liquid pipelines originating at the refinery, four light product terminals, branded-jobber marketing contract assignments for the supply of approximately 1,200 branded sites, a 1,040 megawatt electric cogeneration facility and a 50 thousand barrel per day ("mbpd") allocation of space on the Colonial Pipeline. We refer to these assets as the “Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.” We paid $1.49 billion for these assets, which included $935 million for inventory. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we may also be required to pay BP a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid BP $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. These assets are part of our Refining & Marketing and Pipeline Transportation segments. Our financial results and operating statistics for the periods prior to the acquisition do not include amounts for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.

In July 2014, we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.'s SAX pipeline through our investment in Illinois Extension Pipeline. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made contributions of $97 million to Illinois Extension Pipeline to fund our portion of the construction costs incurred-to-date on the SAX project.

In March 2014, we acquired from Chevron Raven Ridge Pipe Line Company an additional seven percent interest in Explorer for $77 million, bringing our ownership interest to 25 percent. Due to this increase in our ownership percentage, we now account for our investment in Explorer using the equity method of accounting and report Explorer as a related party. Explorer owns approximately 1,900 miles of refined products pipeline from Lake Charles, Louisiana to Hammond, Indiana.

In 2013, we agreed with Enbridge Energy Partners to serve as an anchor shipper for the Sandpiper pipeline, which will run from Beaver Lodge, North Dakota to Superior, Wisconsin. We also agreed to fund 37.5 percent of the construction of the Sandpiper pipeline project, which is currently estimated to cost $2.6 billion, of which approximately $1.0 billion is our share. We made contributions of $149 million during the first nine months of 2014 and have contributed $173 million since project inception. In exchange for our commitment to be an anchor shipper and our investment in the project, we will earn an approximate 27 percent equity interest in Enbridge Energy Partners' North Dakota System when the Sandpiper pipeline is placed into service. Enbridge Energy Partners' North Dakota System currently includes approximately 240 miles of crude oil gathering pipelines connected to a transportation pipeline that is approximately 730 miles long. We will also have the option to increase our ownership interest to approximately 30 percent through additional investments in future system improvements.

See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on these acquisitions and investments. See Note 22 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for information regarding our future contributions to the SAX pipeline project and the Sandpiper pipeline project.

Share Repurchases

On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 2016. During the first nine months of 2014, we paid $1.45 billion to acquire 17 million common shares through open market share repurchases. The effective average cost was $87.25 per delivered share. At September 30, 2014, we also had agreements to repurchase additional common shares for $9 million, which were settled in early October 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we had $2.41 billion of remaining repurchase authorization. See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The above discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to the estimated construction costs and completion of the Sandpiper and SAX pipeline projects and the share repurchase authorizations. Factors that could affect the estimated construction costs, timing and completion of the Sandpiper and SAX pipeline projects, include, but are not limited to, availability of materials and labor, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, delays in obtaining or conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals and other risks customarily associated with construction projects. Factors that could affect the share repurchase authorizations and the timing of any repurchases include, but are not limited to, business conditions, availability of liquidity and the market price of our common stock. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Overview of Segments

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations depends largely on our Refining & Marketing gross margin and refinery throughputs.

Our Refining & Marketing gross margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of products purchased for resale. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil, commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same relationship as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Midwest (Chicago) and USGC crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. LLS prices and a 6-3-2-1 ratio of products (6 barrels of LLS crude oil producing 3 barrels of unleaded regular gasoline, 2 barrels of ultra-low sulfur diesel and 1 barrel of three percent residual fuel oil) are used for these crack-spread calculations.

The price of refined products has historically been set by reference to international Brent crude oil prices. In recent years, due to the growth in U.S. crude oil production, logistical constraints and other market factors the spread between Brent and LLS widened, which favorably impacted the LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread. Recently, the Brent to LLS spread has narrowed significantly. To the extent there is a change in existing U.S. energy policy regarding crude oil exports, the spread between Brent and LLS could remain narrow. If this were to occur, it could reduce the LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread.

Our refineries can process significant amounts of sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to sweet crude oil. The amount of this discount, the sweet/sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing gross margin to differ from crack spreads based on sweet crude oil. In general, a larger sweet/sour differential will enhance our Refining & Marketing gross margin.

Historically, WTI has traded at prices similar to LLS. During 2011 and continuing through the first half of 2013, WTI traded at prices significantly less than LLS, which favorably impacted our Refining & Marketing gross margin. Logistical constraints in the U.S. mid-continent markets and other market factors acted to keep the price of WTI from rising with the prices of crude oil produced in other regions. However, due to a variety of domestic and international market conditions including the growth in pipeline capacity from Cushing, Oklahoma to the Gulf Coast region, the differential between WTI and LLS significantly narrowed during the second half of 2013 with a further narrowing broadly continuing through the first nine months of 2014.

Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors, as well as U. S. energy policy.

The following table provides sensitivities showing the estimated change in annual net income due to potential changes in market conditions.



(In millions, after-tax)
LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread sensitivity^(a)(per $1.00/barrel change)	$	450
Sweet/sour differential sensitivity^(b) (per $1.00/barrel change)	200
LLS-WTI differential sensitivity^(c) (per $1.00/barrel change)	85
Natural gas price sensitivity (per $1.00/million British thermal unit change)	125


^(a)	Weighted 38 percent Chicago and 62 percent USGC LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spreads and assumes all other differentials and pricing relationships remain unchanged.


^(b)	LLS (prompt) - [delivered cost of sour crude oil: Arab Light, Kuwait, Maya, Western Canadian Select and Mars].


^(c)	Assumes 20 percent of crude oil throughput volumes are WTI-based domestic crude oil.

Table of Contents

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sweet/sour differential and the discount of WTI to LLS, our Refining & Marketing gross margin is impacted by factors such as:


•	the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;


•	our refinery yields;


•	the selling prices realized for refined products;


•	the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk; and


•	the cost of products purchased for resale.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations is also affected by changes in refinery direct operating costs, which include turnaround and major maintenance, depreciation and amortization and other manufacturing expenses. Changes in manufacturing costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Planned major maintenance activities, or turnarounds, requiring temporary shutdown of certain refinery operating units, are periodically performed at each refinery. We had significant planned turnaround and major maintenance activities at our Catlettsburg, Kentucky; Galveston Bay, Texas; Garyville, Louisiana and Robinson, Illinois refineries during the first nine months of 2014 compared to activities at our Catlettsburg, Garyville and Galveston Bay refineries during the first nine months of 2013.

Speedway

Our retail marketing gross margin for gasoline and distillate, which is the price paid by consumers less the cost of refined products, including transportation, consumer excise taxes and bankcard processing fees, impacts the Speedway segment profitability. Numerous factors impact gasoline and distillate demand, including local competition, seasonal demand fluctuations, the available wholesale supply, the level of economic activity in our marketing areas and weather conditions. Market demand increases for gasoline and distillate generally increase the product margin we can realize.

The gross margin on merchandise sold at convenience stores historically has been less volatile and has contributed substantially to Speedway's gross margin. Approximately two-thirds of Speedway’s gross margin was derived from merchandise sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014. Speedway's convenience stores offer a wide variety of merchandise, including prepared foods, beverages and non-food items.

Pipeline Transportation

The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our common carrier pipelines serve our Refining & Marketing segment. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Net income attributable to MPC	$	672		$	168		$	504		$	1,726		$	1,486		$	240

Net income attributable to MPC increased $504 million in the third quarter and $240 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to our Refining & Marketing segment income from operations, which increased $744 million in the third quarter and $358 million in the first nine months of 2014. The increases in Refining & Marketing segment income from operations were primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and higher USGC and Chicago crack spreads, partially offset by increases in refinery direct operating costs in both periods of 2014 and narrower LLS-WTI and sweet/sour differentials in the first nine months of 2014.

Sales and other operating revenues (including consumer excise taxes) decreased $818 million in the third quarter and increased $304 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The decrease in the third quarter was primarily due to lower refined product and crude oil sales prices and a decrease in refined product sales volumes. The increase in the first nine months was primarily due to an increase in refined product sales volumes, partially offset by lower refined product sales prices.

Income from equity method investments increased $20 million in the third quarter and $105 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in income from our ethanol affiliates of $10 million and $70 million, respectively, and increases in income from our pipeline affiliates of $12 million and $36 million, respectively. The increases in income from our ethanol affiliates includes the affects of our acquisition of interests in TAAE, TACE and TAEI in August 2013. The higher income from our pipeline affiliates is primarily due to increases from LOOP and Explorer, which is now accounted for as an equity method investment following our acquisition of an increased ownership interest in this pipeline company.

Centennial experienced a significant reduction in shipment volumes in the second half of 2011 that has continued through the first nine months of 2014. At September 30, 2014, Centennial was not shipping product. As a result, we continued to evaluate the carrying value of our equity investment in Centennial. We concluded that no impairment was required given our assessment of its fair value based on market participant assumptions for various potential uses and future cash flows of Centennial’s assets. If current business conditions remain unchanged and the owners of Centennial are unable to find an alternative use for the assets, there could be a future impairment of our Centennial interest. As of September 30, 2014, our equity investment in Centennial was $35 million and we had a $39 million guarantee associated with 50 percent of Centennial's outstanding debt. See Note 22 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the debt guarantee.

Net gain on disposal of assets increased $11 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to the sale of two terminals.

Other income increased $17 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to higher gains on sales of excess Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) of $33 million, partially offset by an $11 million impairment in 2014 of an investment in a company accounted for using the cost method.

Cost of revenues decreased $1.62 billion in the third quarter and $336 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The decreases were primarily due to:


•	decreases in refined product cost of sales of $1.68 billion for the third quarter and $1.29 billion for the first nine months, primarily due to a decrease in raw material costs, partially offset in the first nine months by an increase in refined product sales volumes; and


•	increases in refinery direct operating costs, including costs associated with significant planned turnaround activity, of $152 million, or $0.87 per barrel of total refinery throughput, for the third quarter and $923 million, or $1.95 per barrel of total refinery throughput, for the first nine months.

Purchases from related parties increased $9 million in the third quarter and $147 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to:


•	acquisitions of ownership interests in TAAE in August 2013 and Explorer in March 2014, resulting in purchases from these companies totaling $29 million and $93 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, being reported as purchases from related parties while purchases from these companies prior to these acquisitions were reported as cost of revenues;


•	an increase in purchases from LOOP of $45 million in the first nine months of 2014; and


•	an increase in purchases from TAME of $13 million in the first nine months;


•	partially offset by a decrease in purchases from TACE of $9 million in the third quarter.

Depreciation and amortization increased $23 million in the third quarter and $79 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to accelerated depreciation of equipment at two refineries, capital investments at our Galveston Bay refinery and the implementation of corporate-level information technology projects, partially offset in the first nine months of 2013 by an impairment of a light products terminal.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $37 million in the third quarter and $92 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in contract services, employee compensation and benefit expenses and credit card processing fees. The increase in the first nine months included an increase in pension settlement expenses of $7 million resulting from the level of employee lump sum retirement distributions that occurred during that period.

Other taxes increased $4 million in the third quarter and $29 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to increases in property taxes of $11 million and environmental taxes of $10 million, partially offset by decreases in sales and use taxes of $10 million and other tax expenses. The increase in the first nine months was primarily due to increases in payroll taxes of $16 million, property taxes of $12 million and environmental taxes of $11 million, partially offset by decreases in other tax expenses.

Provision for income taxes increased $252 million in the third quarter and $123 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to changes in income before income taxes, which increased $758 million in the third quarter and $371 million in the first nine months. The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of both 2014 and 2013 are slightly less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to certain permanent benefit differences, including the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state and local tax expense.

Table of Contents

The above discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to the carrying value of our Centennial equity investment. Factors that could affect the carrying value of our Centennial equity investment include, but are not limited to, a change in business conditions, a further decline or improvement in the long-term outlook of the potential uses of Centennial’s assets and the pursuit of different strategic alternatives for such assets. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Refining & Marketing intersegment sales to our Speedway segment decreased $39 million in the third quarter and increased $151 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The decrease in the third quarter was primarily due to lower refined product sales prices, partially offset by an increase in intersegment refined product sales volumes. The increase in the first nine months was primarily due to an increase in intersegment refined product sales volumes, partially offset by lower refined product sales prices. The table below shows our Refining & Marketing intersegment sales to our Speedway segment.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Pipeline Transportation segment revenue increased $15 million in the third quarter and $48 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to increases in revenue related to volume deficiency credits and higher average tariffs received on crude oil and refined products shipped, partially offset by lower crude oil and refined products pipeline throughput volumes. Crude oil pipeline throughput volumes decreased 52 mbpd in the third quarter and 78 mbpd in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013 and refined products pipeline throughput volumes decreased 74 mbpd and 87 mbpd, respectively.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations increased $744 million in the third quarter and $358 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to more favorable net product price realizations and higher USGC and Chicago crack spreads, partially offset by increases in refinery direct operating costs in both periods of 2014 and narrower LLS-WTI and sweet/sour differentials in the first nine months of 2014.

The following table presents certain market indicators that we believe are helpful in understanding the results of our Refining & Marketing segment’s business.

Based on the market indicators above and our refinery throughputs, we estimate the following impacts on Refining & Marketing segment income from operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013:


•	The Chicago LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased $2.09 per barrel in the third quarter and $1.30 per barrel in the first nine months, which had positive impacts on segment income of $138 million and $226 million, respectively.


•	The USGC LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased $2.24 per barrel in the third quarter and $2.39 per barrel in the first nine months, which had positive impacts on segment income of $241 million and $705 million, respectively.


•	The LLS-WTI crude oil differential narrowed $0.36 per barrel in the third quarter and $7.27 per barrel in the first nine months, which had negative impacts on segment income of $40 million and $759 million, respectively.


•	The sweet/sour crude oil differential widened $0.04 per barrel in the third quarter and narrowed $1.18 per barrel in the first nine months, which had a positive impact on segment income of $8 million for the third quarter and a negative impact on segment income of $298 million for the first nine months.

The above market indicators use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and products sold. Differences in our results compared to these market indicators, including product price realizations, mix and crude costs as well as other items like refinery yields and other feedstock variances, had estimated positive impacts on Refining & Marketing segment income of $548 million for the third quarter and $1.39 billion for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. We believe the more favorable net product price realizations as compared to spot market values comprised a significant portion of the increases in segment income for both the third quarter and the first nine months.

The following table summarizes our refinery throughputs.



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Refinery Throughputs (thousands of barrels per day):

Sour crude oil throughput percent	52	53	52	53
WTI-priced crude oil throughput percent	16	21	18	22

Crude oil throughputs increased 38 mbpd in the third quarter and 13 mbpd in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily attributable to the Galveston Bay refinery, partially offset by lower crude oil throughput at the Robinson refinery. Other charge and blendstocks throughputs decreased 35 mbpd in the third quarter and 30 mbpd in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013 primarily attributable to the Garyville and Robinson refineries for both periods of 2014 and the Galveston Bay refinery for the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in the first nine months of 2014 was partially offset by higher other charge and blendstocks throughput at the Galveston Bay refinery.

Refinery direct operating costs increased $152 million, or $0.87 per barrel, in the third quarter and $923 million, or $1.95 per barrel, in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, which include increases in planned turnaround and major maintenance costs of $0.56 per barrel and $0.88 per barrel, respectively, and increases in other manufacturing costs of $0.23 per barrel and $0.96 per barrel, respectively. The increases in planned turnaround and major maintenance costs were primarily attributable to the Catlettsburg and Galveston Bay refineries for the third quarter and the Galveston Bay and Robinson refineries for the first nine months. The increases in other manufacturing costs were primarily attributable to higher energy costs for both periods and higher catalyst expenses and routine maintenance costs for the first nine months.

We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our Renewable Fuel Standard compliance. Our expense associated with purchased RINs decreased to $28 million in the third quarter and $121 million in the first nine months of 2014 from $78 million in the third quarter and $185 million in the first nine months of 2013. The decreases were primarily due to decreases in the average cost of ethanol and biomass-based biodiesel RINs and decreases in our estimated advanced biofuel and ethanol obligation volumes.

Table of Contents

Speedway segment income from operations increased $17 million in the third quarter and decreased $21 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013. The increase in segment income for the third quarter was primarily due to an increase in our gasoline and distillate gross margin of $22 million, or $0.0192 per gallon, and an increase in our merchandise gross margin of $11 million, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The decrease in segment income for the first nine months was primarily due to higher operating expenses and a decrease in our gasoline and distillate gross margin of $18 million, or $0.0132 per gallon, partially offset by an increase in our merchandise gross margin of $31 million. Operating expenses were higher primarily due to an increase in the number of stores. The increases in merchandise gross margin were primarily due to a combination of higher merchandise and food sales and improved margins.

The following table includes margin statistics for the Speedway segment.

Pipeline Transportation segment income from operations increased $15 million in the third quarter and $59 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to higher pipeline transportation revenue and increases in income from our pipeline affiliates, which for the first nine months was primarily attributable to our investment in LOOP, partially offset by increases in operating expenses primarily attributable to the proposed Cornerstone pipeline project for both periods of 2014 and pipeline maintenance costs in the third quarter of 2014.

Corporate and other unallocated items increased $17 million in the third quarter and $14 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $672 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to favorable changes in working capital of $306 million and an increase in net income of $248 million. Changes in working capital were a net $24 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a net $330 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2013. The net $24 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to an increase in inventories, partially offset by a decrease in current receivables and an increase in accounts payable. Changes from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 per the consolidated balance sheets, excluding the impact of acquisitions, were as follows:


•	Inventories increased $731 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to increases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes.

Table of Contents


•	Current receivables decreased $424 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to lower outstanding refined product and crude oil receivable volumes.


•	Accounts payable increased $415 million from year-end 2013, primarily due to higher crude oil payable volumes.

The net $330 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to increases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes and current receivables, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Changes from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 per the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:


•	Inventories, excluding the impact of the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, increased $1.33 billion from year-end 2012, primarily due to increases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes.


•	Current receivables increased $983 million from year-end 2012, primarily due to higher refined product receivable volumes attributable to an increase in refined product sales volumes, and an increase in income taxes receivable associated with federal income taxes.


•	Accounts payable increased $2.18 billion from year-end 2012, primarily due to higher crude oil payable volumes related to the requirements of the Galveston Bay refinery acquired in February 2013 and higher crude oil prices at the end of the third quarter of 2013 compared to year-end 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2014 was $1.77 billion higher than the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets and higher capital expenditures in our Refining & Marketing segment in the first nine months of 2014, partially offset by the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets acquisition in February 2013.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investments in affiliates increased $301 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to our contributions to North Dakota Pipeline of $149 million to fund the Sandpiper pipeline project, our contributions to Illinois Extension Pipeline of $97 million to fund the SAX pipeline project and our acquisition of an additional seven percent interest in Explorer for $77 million in the first nine months of 2014, partially offset by our acquisition of interests in TAAE, TACE and TAEI for $75 million in the first nine months of 2013.

Net cash provided by all other investing activities was $78 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $22 million for the first nine months of 2013, which consists primarily of sales of excess RINs of $74 million and $22 million, respectively.

Financing activities were a net $864 million source of cash in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a net $2.64 billion use of cash in the first nine months of 2013. The sources of cash for the first nine months of 2014 consisted of long-term debt borrowings. The uses of cash for both periods were primarily for common stock repurchases under our share repurchase plans and dividend payments. The first nine months of 2014 includes payment for the first period's contingent earnout for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.

Long-term debt borrowings and repayments were a net $2.87 billion source of cash in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a $16 million use of cash in the first nine months of 2013. During the first nine months of 2014, we issued $1.95 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and borrowed $700 million under a term loan credit agreement to finance the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. In addition, MPLX borrowed $270 million under its revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition of an additional interest in Pipe Line Holdings and subsequently repaid $15 million.

Cash used in common stock repurchases decreased $892 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013. The table below summarizes our total share repurchases. See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the share repurchase plans.

^(a)	Excludes MPLX’s $500 million revolving credit agreement, which had $245 million available as of September 30, 2014.

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

On August 26, 2014, we entered into a $700 million five-year senior unsecured term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders to fund a portion of the purchase price of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. The Term Loan Agreement matures on September 24, 2019 and may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. We are obligated to pay certain customary fees under the Term Loan Agreement, including an annual administrative fee.

On September 5, 2014, we completed a public offering of $1.95 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes"), consisting of $750 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2024, $800 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2044 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2054. The net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes were approximately $1.915 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. Interest on each series of Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2015.

The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ours and rank equally with all our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Term Loan Agreement, our revolving credit agreement (the “MPC Credit Agreement”) and the MPLX Credit Agreement contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of these types. The financial covenant included in the Term Loan Agreement and the MPC Credit Agreement requires us to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement and the MPC Credit Agreement) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with this debt covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization of 0.32 to 1.00, as well as the other covenants contained in the Term Loan Agreement and the MPC Credit Agreement.

The financial covenant included in the MPLX Credit Agreement requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of not greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). As of September 30, 2014, MPLX was in compliance with this debt covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 1.7 to 1.0, as well as the other covenants contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Our intention is to maintain an investment grade credit profile. As of September 30, 2014, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were at or above investment grade level as follows.



Rating Agency	Rating
Moody’s	Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s	BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

Neither the Term Loan Agreement, the MPC Credit Agreement, the MPLX Credit Agreement nor our trade receivables securitization facility contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt ratings would increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under the Term Loan Agreement, the MPC Credit Agreement and our trade receivables securitization facility. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment grade levels could, under certain circumstances, decrease the amount of trade receivables that are eligible to be sold under our trade receivables securitization facility, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit under existing transportation services agreements.

Debt-to-Total-Capital Ratio

Our debt-to-total capital ratio (total debt to total debt-plus-equity) was 36 percent at September 30, 2014 and 23 percent at December 31, 2013.

Capital Requirements

We have a capital and investment budget for 2014 of $2.43 billion, excluding capitalized interest and the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. The budget includes spending on refining, retail marketing, transportation, logistics and brand marketing projects as well as amounts designated for corporate activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our capital expenditures and investments were $1.31 billion, excluding capitalized interest and the $2.68 billion for the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets. Other than the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets, there have been no material changes to our 2014 capital and investment budget since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 was filed. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as conditions warrant.

Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, we may be required to pay the seller a contingent earnout of up to an additional $700 million over six years, subject to certain conditions. In July 2014, we paid $180 million for the first period's contingent earnout. See Notes 4 and 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2014, MPLX had $255 million in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made contributions of $16 million to our funded pension plans. While we have no required contributions, we may make additional contributions to our funded pension plans in 2014 depending on the anticipated funding status and plan asset performance.

On October 29, 2014, our board of directors approved a $0.50 per share dividend, payable December 10, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2014.

We may utilize various methods to effect additional repurchases, which could include open market purchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

The above discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to share repurchase authorizations. Factors that could affect the share repurchase authorizations and the timing of any repurchases include, but are not limited to, business conditions, availability of liquidity and the market price of our common stock. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of September 30, 2014, our contractual cash obligations included long-term debt, capital and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities. During the first nine months of 2014:


•	our committed payments on long-term debt, including interest, increased $4.90 billion in connection with the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets;


•	we assumed operating lease commitments totaling $423 million in connection with the acquisition of Hess' Retail Operations and Related Assets;


•	the MPLX Credit Agreement committed payments increased $264 million due to outstanding borrowings on the MPLX Credit Agreement, including interest and fees; and


•	we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.'s SAX pipeline, which increased our committed payments by $208 million.

There were no other material changes to our contractual cash obligations outside the ordinary course of business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to indemnities and guarantees that are described below. Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on liquidity and capital resources.

We have provided various guarantees related to equity method investees. In conjunction with our spinoff from Marathon Oil, we entered into various indemnities and guarantees to Marathon Oil. These arrangements are described in Note 22 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Our opinions concerning liquidity and capital resources and our ability to avail ourselves in the future of the financing options mentioned in the above forward-looking statements are based on currently available information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, future availability of financing may be adversely affected. Factors that affect the availability of financing include our performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided by operating activities), the state of worldwide debt and equity markets, investor perceptions and expectations of past and future performance, the global financial climate, and, in particular, with respect to borrowings, the levels of our outstanding debt and credit ratings by rating agencies. The discussion of liquidity and capital resources above also contains forward-looking statements regarding expected capital and investment spending. The forward-looking statements about our capital and investment budget are based on current expectations, estimates and projections and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include prices of and demand for crude oil and refinery feedstocks and refined products, actions of competitors, delays in obtaining necessary third-party approvals, changes in labor, materials, and equipment costs and availability, planned and unplanned outages, the delay of, cancellation of or failure to implement planned capital projects, project cost overruns, disruptions or interruptions of our refining operations due to the shortage of skilled labor and unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response, and other operating and economic considerations.

Transactions with Related Parties

We believe that transactions with related parties were conducted under terms comparable to those with unrelated parties.

Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.

On March 3, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") signed the final Tier 3 fuel standards. The final Tier 3 fuel standards require, among other things, a lower annual average sulfur level in gasoline to no more than 10 parts per million ("ppm") beginning in calendar year 2017. In addition, gasoline refiners and importers may not exceed a maximum per-gallon sulfur standard of 80 ppm while retailers may not exceed a maximum per-gallon sulfur standard of 95 ppm. We anticipate that we will spend an estimated $750 million to $1 billion between 2014 and 2019 for capital expenditures necessary to comply with these standards.

There have been no other significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Management will be required to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt and the type of disclosure will be determined based on whether management's plans will be able to alleviate the substantial doubt. The accounting standards update will be effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that redefines the criteria for determining discontinued operations and introduces new disclosures related to these disposals. The updated definition of a discontinued operation is the disposal of a component(s) of an entity or the classification of a component(s) of an entity as held for sale that represents a strategic shift for an entity and has (or will have) a major impact on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard requires disclosure of additional financial information for discontinued operations and individually material components not qualifying for discontinued operation presentation, as well as information regarding an entity's continuing involvement with the discontinued operation. The accounting standards update is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2015 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For a detailed discussion of our risk management strategies and our derivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

See Notes 15 and 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Sensitivity analysis of the effects on income from operations (“IFO”) of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of September 30, 2014 is provided in the following table.



	Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Increase of						Change in IFO from a Hypothetical Price Decrease of
(In millions)	10%			25%			10%		25%
As of September 30, 2014
Crude	$	(128	)	$	(318	)	$	133	$	331
Refined products	(14		)	(35		)	14		35

We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.

We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after September 30, 2014 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt as of September 30, 2014 is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

^(d)	Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to net income was based on the weighted average balance of debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, our portfolio of long-term debt was comprised of fixed-rate instruments and variable-rate borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement and the MPLX Credit Agreement. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement and the MPLX Credit Agreement, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Specific matters discussed below are either new proceedings or material developments in proceedings previously reported.

Litigation

We are a party to a number of lawsuits and other proceedings and cannot predict the outcome of every such matter with certainty. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental Proceedings

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we have been subject to a pending enforcement matter with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois attorney general’s office since 2002 concerning self-reporting of possible emission exceedances and permitting issues related to storage tanks at the Robinson, Illinois refinery. As a result of these allegations, we tentatively agreed to pay a $150,000 civil penalty and undertake a supplemental environmental project involving the installation of ambient air monitors at the refinery. The consent order is not yet finalized, but the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

We are involved in a number of other environmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the resolution of these environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. Other than as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the risks or uncertainties found under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

An easing or lifting of the U.S. crude oil export ban could adversely affect crack spreads or crude oil price differentials and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Since the 1970s, the U.S. has restricted the ability of producers to export domestic crude oil. As total crude oil production has increased in the U.S. in recent years, primarily due to the increase in shale crude oil production, there have been increasing calls by crude oil producers and others for an easing or lifting of the crude oil export ban. If the export ban were to be significantly eased or lifted, the price of domestic crude oil would likely rise, potentially impacting crack spreads and price differentials between domestic and foreign crude oils. A deterioration of crack spreads or price differentials between domestic and foreign crude oils could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results or operations and cash flows.

^(a)	The amounts in this column include 26,603, 381 and 110 shares of our common stock delivered by employees to MPC, upon vesting of restricted stock, to satisfy tax withholding requirements in July, August and September, respectively.

^(b)

Amounts in this column reflect the weighted average price paid for shares purchased under our share repurchase authorizations and for shares tendered to us in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock granted under our stock plans. The weighted average price includes commissions paid to brokers on shares purchased under our share repurchase authorizations.

^(c)

On July 30, 2014, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization expiring in July 31, 2016, resulting in $8.0 billion of total share repurchase authorizations since January 1, 2012. This authorization is in addition to the previous authorization, announced September 26, 2013, which had approximately $408 million remaining as of September 30, 2014.
