Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business—
Our business consists of refining and marketing, retail and midstream services conducted primarily in the Midwest, Gulf Coast, East Coast, Northeast and Southeast regions of the United States, through subsidiaries, including Marathon Petroleum Company LP (“MPC LP”), Speedway LLC and its subsidiaries (“Speedway”) and MPLX LP and its subsidiaries (“MPLX”).
See Note

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 SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by 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, 2016
. The results of operations for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2017
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
In the first quarter of 2017, we revised our segment reporting in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. See Note
3
for additional information. The operating results for these assets are now reported in our Midstream segment. Previously, they were reported as part of our Refining & Marketing segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised presentation. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective January 1, 2015 and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates, these assets were not considered businesses for accounting purposes and, therefore, there are no financial results from which to recast segment results. Additionally, the MPLX asset and liability balances as of December 31, 2016 reported in parentheses on our consolidated balance sheets have also been recast to reflect this transaction. See Note
9
and Note

Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted
In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend the consolidation guidance issued in February 2015 to require that a decision maker consider, in the determination of the primary beneficiary, its indirect interest in a VIE held by a related party that is under common control on a proportionate basis only. The change was effective for our financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We were required to apply the standard retrospective to January 1, 2016, the date on which we adopted the consolidation guidance issued in February 2015. Adoption of this accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2017 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify some provisions in stock compensation accounting. The areas for simplification involve the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classifications of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification within the statement of cash flows. The changes were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Adoption of this accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2017 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update eliminating the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. This change was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Adoption of this accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2017 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted
In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to provide guidance about when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and balance sheet classification of the modified award is the same as the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We are in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an update requiring that the service cost component of pension and postretirement benefit costs be presented in the same line item as other current employee compensation costs and other components of those benefit costs be presented separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if presented. The update also requires that only the service cost component of pension and postretirement benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that annual period. Application is retrospective for the presentation of the components of these benefit costs and prospective for the capitalization of only service costs. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update addressing the derecognition of nonfinancial assets. The guidance defines in substance nonfinancial assets, and states that the derecognition of business activities should be evaluated under the consolidation guidance, with limited exceptions related to conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights or contracts with customers. The standard eliminates the previous exclusion for businesses that are in-substance real estate, and eliminates some differences based on whether a transferred set is that of assets or a business and whether the transfer is to a joint venture. The standard must be implemented in conjunction with the implementation date of the revenue recognition accounting standard update, which we will implement January 1, 2018. We plan to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method and are in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements together with our evaluation of the new revenue recognition standard, as described further below.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard is intended to narrow the definition of a business by specifying the minimum inputs and processes and by narrowing the definition of outputs. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance will be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. We are in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The application of this accounting standard update will not have a material impact on our statements of cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires recognition of the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this accounting standard update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We do not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the classification of certain cash flows. The accounting standard update provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investees, to reduce diversity in practice. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our statements of cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring lessees to record virtually all leases on their balance sheets. The accounting standard update also requires expanded disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessors, this amended guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The change will be effective on a modified retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements and disclosures, internal controls and accounting policies. This evaluation process includes reviewing all forms of leases, performing a completeness assessment over the lease population and analyzing the practical expedients in order to determine the best path of implementing changes to existing processes and controls along with necessary system implementations. We do not plan to early adopt the standard. We believe the impact will be material on the consolidated financial statements as all leases will be recognized as a right of use asset and lease obligation on our consolidated balance sheet.
In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring unconsolidated equity investments, not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The accounting standard update also requires the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and the separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form on the balance sheet and accompanying notes. The accounting standard update eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. Lastly, the accounting standard update requires separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when electing to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The changes are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for the guidance regarding presentation of a liability’s credit risk. We do not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for revenue recognition for contracts with customers. The guidance in the accounting standard 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 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. We will adopt the standard January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements and disclosures, internal controls and accounting policies. Based on the results to date, we have reached tentative conclusions for most contract types and do not believe revenue recognition patterns will change materially. We do expect certain amounts to be grossed up in revenue in our Midstream segment as a result of implementation. In addition, we expect to elect to change our presentation of consumer excise taxes from gross to net upon the adoption date in our Refining & Marketing and Retail segments. We will provide updates as qualitative and quantitative conclusions are reached throughout 2017.

MPLX LP
MPLX is a diversified, growth-oriented publicly traded master limited partnership formed by us to own, operate, develop and acquire midstream energy infrastructure assets. On December 4, 2015, MPLX and MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (“MarkWest”) completed a merger, whereby MarkWest became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPLX (the “MarkWest Merger”). MarkWest’s operations include: natural gas gathering, processing and transportation; and NGL gathering, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing. MPLX owns or has an interest in a network of private and common carrier crude oil and product pipeline systems and associated storage assets in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, a butane cavern in Neal, West Virginia and NGL storage caverns in Woodhaven, Michigan. MPLX owns an inland marine business, comprised of tow boats and barges, which transport crude oil and refined products principally for MPC in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. MPLX also owns a light-product terminal business, which provides terminalling services principally for MPC in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States.
See Note
4
for information on MPLX’s acquisition of the Ozark pipeline, its investment in the Bakken Pipeline system and the formation of a joint venture with Antero Midstream Partners LP (“Antero Midstream”) during the first quarter of 2017.
As of
June 30, 2017
, we owned a
27.2 percent
interest in MPLX, including a
two percent
general partner interest. This ownership percentage reflects the conversion at
1.09
to 1.00 of the MPLX Class B Units in July 2017.
MPLX is a VIE because the limited partners of MPLX do not have substantive kick-out or substantive participating rights over the general partner. We are the primary beneficiary of MPLX because in addition to significant economic interest, we also have the power, through our
100 percent
ownership of the general partner, to control the decisions that most significantly impact MPLX. We therefore consolidate MPLX and record a noncontrolling interest for the
72.8 percent
interest owned by the public. The components of our noncontrolling interest consist of equity-based noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to MPLX’s preferred units, discussed below.
The creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC’s general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements. The assets of MPLX are the property of MPLX and cannot be used to satisfy the obligations of MPC.
Reorganization Transactions
On September 1, 2016, MPC, MPLX and various affiliates initiated a series of reorganization transactions in order to simplify MPLX’s ownership structure and its financial and tax reporting. In connection with these transactions, MPC contributed
$225 million
to MPLX and all of the issued and outstanding MPLX Class A Units, all of which were held by MarkWest Hydrocarbon L.L.C. (“MarkWest Hydrocarbon”), a subsidiary of MPLX, were exchanged for newly issued common units representing limited partner interests in MPLX. The simple average of the NYSE closing price of MPLX common units for the 10 trading days preceding September 1, 2016 was used for purposes of these transactions. As a result of these transactions, MPC increased its ownership interest in MPLX by
7 million
MPLX common units, or approximately
1 percent
.
Private Placement of Preferred Units
On May 13, 2016, MPLX completed the private placement of approximately
30.8 million
6.5 percent
Series A Convertible Preferred Units (the “MPLX Preferred Units”) for a cash price of
$32.50
per unit. The aggregate net proceeds of approximately
$984 million
from the sale of the MPLX Preferred Units was used by MPLX for capital expenditures, repayment of debt and general partnership purposes.
The MPLX Preferred Units rank senior to all MPLX common units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation. The holders of the MPLX Preferred Units are entitled to receive quarterly distributions equal to
$0.528125
per unit commencing for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, with a prorated amount from the date of issuance. Following the second anniversary of the issuance of the MPLX Preferred Units, the holders of the MPLX Preferred Units will receive as a distribution the greater of
$0.528125
per unit or the amount of per unit distributions paid to MPLX common units.
The MPLX Preferred Units are convertible into MPLX common units on a one for one basis after three years, at the purchasers’ option, and after four years at MPLX’s option, subject to certain conditions.
The MPLX Preferred Units are considered redeemable securities due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event which is considered outside MPLX’s control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets. We have recorded the MPLX Preferred Units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. Since the MPLX Preferred Units are not currently redeemable and not probable of becoming redeemable in the future, adjustment to the initial carrying amount is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the security would become redeemable.

Dropdowns to MPLX
On March 1, 2017, we contributed certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX in exchange for total consideration of
$2.0 billion
. This consideration consisted of MPLX equity and
$1.5 billion
in cash. We received approximately
13 million
MPLX common units and
264 thousand
general partner units from MPLX, which was determined by dividing
$504 million
by the volume weighted average NYSE price of MPLX common units for the 10 trading days preceding the closing date, pursuant to a Membership Interests Contributions Agreement. We also agreed to waive two-thirds of the first quarter 2017 common unit distributions, IDRs and general partner distributions with respect to the common units issued in this transaction. The contributions of these assets were accounted for as transactions between entities under common control and we did not record a gain or loss.
On March 31, 2016, we contributed our inland marine business to MPLX in exchange for
23 million
common units and
460 thousand
general partner units. The number of units we received from MPLX was determined by dividing
$600 million
by the volume weighted average NYSE price of MPLX common units for the 10 trading days preceding March 14, 2016, pursuant to a Membership Interests Contribution Agreement. We also agreed to waive first-quarter 2016 common unit distributions, IDRs and general partner distributions with respect to the common units issued in this transaction. The contribution of our inland marine business was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and we did not record a gain or loss.
Public Offerings
On February 10, 2017, MPLX completed a public offering of
$1.25 billion
aggregate principal amount of
4.125%
unsecured senior notes due March 2027 and
$1.0 billion
aggregate principal amount of
5.200%
unsecured senior notes due March 2047. MPLX used the net proceeds from this offering to fund the
$1.5 billion
cash portion of the consideration MPLX paid MPC for the dropdown of assets on March 1, 2017, as well as for general partnership purposes. See Note
16
for more information.
ATM Program
On August 4, 2016, MPLX entered into a Second Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) providing for the continuous issuance of common units, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of any offerings (such continuous offering program, or at-the-market program, referred to as the “ATM Program”). MPLX expects to use the net proceeds from sales under the ATM Program for general partnership purposes including repayment of debt and funding for acquisitions, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, MPLX issued an aggregate of
13 million
MPLX common units under the ATM Program, generating net proceeds of approximately
$434 million
. As of
June 30, 2017
,
$280 million
of MPLX common units remain available for issuance through the ATM Program under the Distribution Agreement.
Noncontrolling Interest
Changes in MPC’s equity and the offsetting changes to noncontrolling interest resulting from changes in MPC’s and the noncontrolling interest’s ownership interests in MPLX were as follows:

Agreements
We have various long-term, fee-based transportation, terminal and storage services agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, terminal and storage services to us, and we commit to provide MPLX with minimum quarterly throughput volumes on crude oil and refined products systems and minimum storage volumes of crude oil, refined products and butane. We also have agreements with MPLX that establish fees for operational and management services provided between us and MPLX and for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided by us to MPLX. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisition of Ozark Pipeline
On March 1, 2017, MPLX acquired the Ozark pipeline from Enbridge Pipelines (Ozark) LLC for approximately
$219 million
, including purchase price adjustments made in the second quarter of 2017. Based on the preliminary fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the purchase price was primarily allocated to property, plant and equipment. The Ozark pipeline is a
433
-mile,
22
-inch crude oil pipeline originating in Cushing, Oklahoma, and terminating in Wood River, Illinois, capable of transporting approximately
230
mbpd. We account for the Ozark pipeline within the Midstream segment.
The amounts of revenue and income from operations associated with the acquisition included in our consolidated statements of income, since the March 1, 2017 acquisition date, are as follows:

Assuming the acquisition of the Ozark pipeline had occurred on January 1, 2016, the consolidated pro forma results would not have been materially different from reported results.
Formation of Travel Plaza Joint Venture
In the fourth quarter of 2016, Speedway and Pilot Flying J finalized the formation of a joint venture consisting of
123
travel plazas, primarily in the Southeast United States. The new entity, PFJ Southeast LLC (“PFJ Southeast”), consisted of
41
existing locations contributed by Speedway and
82
locations contributed by Pilot Flying J, all of which carry either the Pilot or Flying J brand and are operated by Pilot Flying J. We did not recognize a gain on the
$273 million
non-cash contribution of our travel plazas to the joint venture since the contribution was that of in-substance real estate. Our non-cash contribution consisted of
$203 million
of property, plant and equipment,
$62 million
of goodwill and
$8 million
of inventory.
Marine Investments
We currently have indirect ownership interests in
two
ocean vessel joint ventures with Crowley Maritime Corporation (“Crowley”), which were established to own and operate Jones Act vessels in petroleum product service. We have invested a total of
$189 million
in these two ventures as described further below.
In September 2015, we acquired a
50 percent
ownership interest in a joint venture, Crowley Ocean Partners LLC (“Crowley Ocean Partners”), with Crowley. The joint venture owns and operates
four
new Jones Act product tankers, three of which are leased to MPC.
Two
of the vessels were delivered in 2015 and the remaining
two
were delivered in 2016. We have contributed a total of
$141 million
for the
four
vessels.
In May 2016, MPC and Crowley formed a new ocean vessel joint venture, Crowley Coastal Partners LLC (“Crowley Coastal Partners”), in which MPC has a
50 percent
ownership interest. MPC and Crowley each contributed their
50 percent
ownership in Crowley Ocean Partners, discussed above, into Crowley Coastal Partners. In addition, we contributed
$48 million
in cash and Crowley contributed its
100 percent
ownership interest in Crowley Blue Water Partners LLC (“Crowley Blue Water Partners”) to Crowley Coastal Partners. Crowley Blue Water Partners is an entity that owns and operates
three
750 Series ATB vessels that are leased to MPC. We account for our
50 percent
interest in Crowley Coastal Partners as part of our Midstream segment using the equity method of accounting.
See Note

for information on Crowley Coastal Partners as a VIE and Note
21
for information on our conditional guarantee of the indebtedness of Crowley Ocean Partners and Crowley Blue Water Partners.

Investment in Pipeline Company
On February 15, 2017, MPLX closed on the previously announced transaction to acquire a partial, indirect equity interest in the Dakota Access Pipeline (“DAPL”) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company Pipeline (“ETCOP”) projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system, through a joint venture with Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. (“Enbridge Energy Partners”). The Bakken Pipeline system is currently expected to deliver in excess of
470
mbpd of crude oil from the Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to the Midwest through Patoka, Illinois and ultimately to the Gulf Coast. MPLX contributed
$500 million
of the
$2 billion
purchase price paid by the joint venture, MarEn Bakken Company LLC (“MarEn Bakken”), to acquire a
36.75 percent
indirect equity interest in the Bakken Pipeline system from Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) and Sunoco Logistics Partners, L.P. (“SXL”). MPLX holds, through a subsidiary, a
25 percent
interest in MarEn Bakken, which equates to an approximate
9.2 percent
indirect equity interest in the Bakken Pipeline system. In connection with this investment by MPLX, we have agreed to waive our right to receive IDRs of approximately
$1.6 million
per quarter for
twelve
consecutive quarters beginning with distributions declared by MPLX in the first quarter of 2017 and paid to us in the second quarter, which has been prorated to
$0.8 million
from the acquisition date. We account for the investment in MarEn Bakken as part of our Midstream segment using the equity method of accounting.
In connection with closing the transaction with ETP and SXL and the previous decision to indefinitely suspend the Sandpiper project, Enbridge Energy Partners canceled MPC’s transportation services agreement with respect to the Sandpiper pipeline and released MPC from paying any termination fee per that agreement.
Formation of Gathering and Processing Joint Venture
Effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest and Antero Midstream formed a joint venture, Sherwood Midstream LLC (“Sherwood Midstream”), to support the development of Antero Resources Corporation’s Marcellus Shale acreage in West Virginia. MarkWest has a
50 percent
ownership interest in Sherwood Midstream. In connection with this transaction, MarkWest contributed certain gas processing plants currently under construction at the Sherwood Complex with a fair value of approximately
$134 million
and cash of approximately
$20 million
. Antero Midstream made an initial capital contribution of approximately
$154 million
.
Also effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest converted all of its ownership interests in MarkWest Ohio Fractionation Company, L.L.C. (“Ohio Fractionation”), a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, to Class A Interests and amended its LLC Agreement to create Class B-3 Interests, which were sold to Sherwood Midstream for
$126 million
in cash. The Class B-3 Interests provide Sherwood Midstream with the right to fractionation revenue and the obligation to pay expenses related to
20
mbpd of capacity in the Hopedale 3 fractionator.
Effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest and Sherwood Midstream formed a joint venture, Sherwood Midstream Holdings LLC (“Sherwood Midstream Holdings”), for the purpose of owning, operating and maintaining all of the shared assets for the benefit of and use in the operation of the gas plants and other assets owned by Sherwood Midstream and the gas plants and deethanization facilities owned by MarkWest. MarkWest contributed certain real property, equipment and facilities with a fair value of approximately
$209 million
to Sherwood Midstream Holdings in exchange for a
79 percent
initial ownership interest. Sherwood Midstream contributed cash of approximately
$44 million
to Sherwood Midstream Holdings in exchange for a
21 percent
ownership interest. MarkWest has a
10.5 percent
indirect interest in Sherwood Midstream Holdings through its ownership in Sherwood Midstream. The net book value of the contributed assets was approximately
$203 million
. The contribution was determined to be an in-substance sale of real estate. As such, MarkWest only recognized a gain for the portion attributable to Antero Midstream’s indirect interest of approximately
$2 million
.
We account for our direct interests in Sherwood Midstream and Sherwood Midstream Holdings as part of our Midstream segment using the equity method of accounting. We continue to consolidate Ohio Fractionation and have recognized a noncontrolling interest for Sherwood Midstream’s interest in that entity.
See Note

Variable Interest Entities
In addition to MPLX, as described in Note
3
, the following entities are also VIEs.
Crowley Coastal Partners
In May 2016, Crowley Coastal Partners was formed to own an interest in both Crowley Ocean Partners and Crowley Blue Water Partners. We have determined that Crowley Coastal Partners is a VIE based on the terms of the existing financing arrangements for Crowley Blue Water Partners and Crowley Ocean Partners and the associated debt guarantees by MPC and Crowley. Our maximum exposure to loss at
June 30, 2017
was
$489 million
, which includes our equity method investment in Crowley Coastal Partners and the debt guarantees provided to each of the lenders to Crowley Blue Water Partners and Crowley Ocean Partners. We are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to control the activities that significantly influence the economic outcomes of the entity and, therefore, do not consolidate the entity.
MarkWest Utica EMG
On January 1, 2012, MarkWest Utica Operating Company, LLC (“Utica Operating”), a wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary of MarkWest, and EMG Utica, LLC ("EMG Utica") (together the "Members"), executed agreements to form a joint venture, MarkWest Utica EMG LLC (“MarkWest Utica EMG”), to develop significant natural gas gathering, processing and NGL fractionation, transportation and marketing infrastructure in eastern Ohio.
As of
June 30, 2017
, MarkWest had a
56 percent
ownership interest in MarkWest Utica EMG. MarkWest Utica EMG's inability to fund its planned activities without subordinated financial support qualify it as a VIE.

ownership interest in Sherwood Midstream. Sherwood Midstream’s inability to fund its planned activities without additional subordinated financial support qualify it as a VIE.

Ohio Fractionation
As described in Note
4

20
mbpd of capacity in the Hopedale 3 fractionator. Ohio Fractionation’s inability to fund its operations without additional subordinated financial support qualify it as a VIE. MarkWest has been deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Ohio Fractionation because it has control over decisions that could significantly impact its financial performance, and as a result, consolidates Ohio Fractionation.

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.
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.

Equity
On May 31, 2017, our board of directors approved an additional
$3.0 billion
share repurchase authorization. This authorization is in addition to its previous authorization, both of which have no expiration date.
As of
June 30, 2017
, we had
$4.39 billion
of remaining share repurchase authorization from our board of directors. 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 affected 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.

Segment Information
In the first quarter of 2017, we revised our segment reporting in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. The operating results for these assets are now reported in our Midstream segment. Previously, they were reported as part of our Refining & Marketing segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised presentation. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective January 1, 2015 and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates, these assets were not considered businesses and, therefore, there are no financial results from which to recast segment results.
We have
three
reportable segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Midstream. 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 refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including pipeline and marine transportation, terminal and storage services provided by our Midstream segment. 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 – sells transportation fuels and convenience merchandise in retail markets in the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States.
•
Midstream – includes the operations of MPLX and certain other related operations. The Midstream segment gathers, processes and transports natural gas; gathers, transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs; and transports and stores crude oil and refined products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment.
Segment income represents income from operations attributable to the reportable segments. Corporate administrative expenses, except for those attributable to MPLX, 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.

Income Taxes
The combined federal, state and foreign income tax rate was
30 percent
and
33 percent
for the three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively, and
30 percent
and
37 percent
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2017
was less than the U.S. statutory rate of
35 percent
primarily due to certain permanent tax differences related to equity compensation, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and the domestic manufacturing deduction offset by state and local tax expense. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
varies from the U.S. statutory rate of
35 percent
primarily due to certain permanent tax differences related to the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (including their proportional share of the goodwill impairment charge recorded by MPLX), the domestic manufacturing deduction and state and local tax expense.
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 2007 tax years, respectively. We had
$19 million
of unrecognized tax benefits as of
June 30, 2017
. Pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with Marathon Oil Corporation (“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

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Values—Recurring
The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
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
June 30, 2017
, cash collateral of
$51 million
was netted with the mark-to-market derivative liabilities. As of
December 31, 2016
,
$24 million
was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.
(b)
We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements reflected gross on the balance sheet.
(c)
Level 3 includes
$4 million
and
$13 million
classified as current at
June 30, 2017
and

, respectively.
(d)
Includes

classified as current at

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.
Level 3 instruments include OTC NGL contracts and embedded derivatives in commodity contracts. The embedded derivative liability relates to a natural gas purchase agreement embedded in a keep‑whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from
$0.25
to
$1.10
per gallon and (2) the probability of renewal of
50 percent
for the first
five
-year term and
75 percent
for the second
five
-year term of the gas purchase agreement and the related keep-whole processing agreement. For these contracts, increases in forward NGL prices result in a decrease in the fair value of the derivative assets and an increase in the fair value of the derivative liabilities. The forward prices for the individual NGL products generally increase or decrease in a positive correlation with one another. Increases or decreases in forward NGL prices result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative. An increase in the probability of renewal would result in an increase in the fair value of the related embedded derivative liability.

The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the remaining amount we expected to pay to BP related to the earnout provision associated with our 2013 acquisition of BP’s refinery in Texas City, Texas and related logistics and marketing assets. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration as of
December 31, 2016
was estimated using an income approach and is therefore a Level 3 liability. The fair value calculation used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) an estimate of forecasted monthly refinery throughput volumes; (2) an internal and external monthly crack spread forecast; and (3) a range of risk-adjusted discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was reassessed each quarter, with changes in fair value recorded in cost of revenues. The balance of
$131 million
was paid on April 12, 2017. On the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
,
$89 million
of the contingent earnout payment is included as a financing activity with the remainder included as an operating activity.
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances recorded for liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

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 a liability resulting from a financing arrangement for the construction of MPLX’s steam methane reformer (“SMR”) at the Javelina gas processing and fractionation complex in Corpus Christi, Texas, 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 for our debt from major financial institutions and a third-party valuation service. 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.

Derivatives
For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note
14
. 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, (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products, (5) the sale of NGLs and (6) the purchase of natural gas.

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. For matters for which we have not recorded a liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. 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.
At
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled
$128 million
and
$132 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, were
$58 million
at both
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
.

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.
MarkWest Environmental Proceeding
– In July 2015, representatives from the EPA and the United States Department of Justice conducted a raid on a pipeline launcher/receiver site of MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPLX (“MarkWest Liberty Midstream”), utilized for pipeline maintenance operations in Washington County, Pennsylvania pursuant to a search warrant issued by a magistrate of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. As part of this initiative, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania, with the assistance of EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division proceeded with an investigation of MarkWest’s launcher/receiver, pipeline and compressor station operations. In response to the investigation, MarkWest initiated independent studies which demonstrated that there was no risk to worker safety and no threat of public harm associated with MarkWest Liberty Midstream’s launcher/receiver operations. These findings were supported by a subsequent inspection and review by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. After providing these studies, and other substantial documentation related to MarkWest Liberty Midstream's pipeline and compressor stations, and arranging site visits and conducting several meetings with the government’s representatives, on September 13, 2016, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania rendered a declination decision, dropping its criminal investigation and declining to pursue charges in this matter.
MarkWest Liberty Midstream continues to discuss with the EPA and the State of Pennsylvania civil enforcement allegations associated with permitting or other related regulatory obligations for its launcher/receiver and compressor station facilities in the region. In connection with these discussions, MarkWest Liberty Midstream received an initial proposal from the EPA to settle all civil claims associated with this matter for the combination of a proposed cash penalty of approximately
$2.4 million
and proposed supplemental environmental projects with an estimated cost of approximately
$3.6 million
. MarkWest Liberty Midstream has submitted a response asserting that this action involves novel issues surrounding primarily minor source emissions from facilities that the agencies themselves considered de minimis and were not the subject of regulation and consequently that the settlement proposal is excessive. MarkWest will continue to negotiate with the EPA regarding the amount and scope of the proposed settlement.
Other Lawsuits
—We are a co-defendant in
four
lawsuits consolidated for pre-trial purposes in a multi-district litigation pending in the 56
th
District Court, Galveston County, Texas. Plaintiffs allege personal injuries from a fire that occurred at our Galveston Bay refinery on January 11, 2016. The other co-defendants in this litigation are contractors that were engaged by us to provide services at our Galveston Bay refinery. In mid-July 2017, the parties participated in a mediation process and began settlement discussions. On August 1, 2017, we entered into binding settlement agreements with the plaintiffs and co-defendants, subject to requisite court approvals, whereby we agreed to pay
$86 million
to settle all
four
lawsuits. We recorded a liability for the losses under these settlement agreements, which resulted in a charge of
$86 million
in the second quarter of 2017. Further, we plan to vigorously pursue recovery of losses, as well as defense costs, through indemnification from a significant contractor who is not party to the settlement agreements.
In May 2015, the Kentucky attorney general filed a lawsuit against our wholly-owned subsidiary, MPC LP in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky asserting claims under federal and state antitrust statutes, the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act, and state common law. The complaint, as amended in July 2015, alleges that MPC LP used deed restrictions, supply agreements with customers and exchange agreements with competitors to unreasonably restrain trade in areas within Kentucky and seeks declaratory relief, unspecified damages, civil penalties, restitution and disgorgement of profits. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of this litigation remains uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined, and we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss (or range of loss) for this matter. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.
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
33
Table of Contents
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 also a party to 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
June 30, 2017
.
We hold an interest in a refined products pipeline through our investment in Centennial, and have guaranteed our portion of 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
$23 million
as of
June 30, 2017
.
In connection with our
50 percent
indirect interest in Crowley Ocean Partners, we have agreed to conditionally guarantee our portion of the obligations of the joint venture and its subsidiaries under a senior secured term loan agreement. The term loan agreement provides for loans of up to
$325 million
to finance the acquisition of four product tankers. MPC’s liability under the guarantee for each vessel is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events, including if we cease to maintain an investment grade credit rating or the charter for the relevant product tanker ceases to be in effect and is not replaced by a charter with an investment grade company on certain defined commercial terms. As of
June 30, 2017
, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this agreement for debt principal totaled
$163 million
.
In connection with our
50 percent
indirect interest in Crowley Blue Water Partners, we have agreed to provide a conditional guarantee of up to
50 percent
of its outstanding debt balance in the event there is no charter agreement in place with an investment grade customer for the entity’s three vessels as well as other financial support in certain circumstances. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is
50 percent
of the amount of the debt, which was
$139 million
as of
June 30, 2017
.
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
June 30, 2017
, 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.
Other guarantees
—We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling
$92 million
as of
June 30, 2017
, 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, a commitment to fund a share of the bonds issued by a government entity for construction of public utilities in the event that other industrial users of the facility default on their utility payments and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.

Table of Contents
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 and contingencies—
At
June 30, 2017
, our contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and advance funds to equity method investees totaled
$595 million
.
Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require us to construct natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producer customers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements with us if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of
June 30, 2017
, management does not believe there are any indications that we will not be able to meet the construction milestones, that force majeure does not apply, or that such fees and charges will otherwise be triggered.

Subsequent Event
On July 21, 2017, we entered into credit agreements with a syndicate of lenders to replace MPC’s previous
$2.5 billion
four
-year bank revolving credit facility and
$1 billion
364
-day revolving credit facility. The new credit agreements provide for a
$2.5 billion
five
year bank revolving credit facility that expires in
July 2022
and a
$1 billion
364
-day bank revolving credit facility that expires in
July 2018
. In addition, on July 21, 2017, MPLX entered into a credit agreement to replace its previous
$2 billion
five
-year bank revolving credit facility with a
$2.25 billion
five
-year bank revolving credit facility that expires in
July 2022
. The financial covenants and the interest rate terms contained in the new credit agreements are substantially the same as those contained in the previous bank revolving credit facilities.
Additionally, on July 19, 2017, MPLX prepaid the entire outstanding principal amount of its
$250 million
term loan with cash on hand.

Corporate Overview
We are an independent petroleum refining and marketing, retail and midstream services company. We currently own and operate
seven
refineries, all located in the United States, with an aggregate crude oil refining capacity of approximately
1.8 million
barrels per calendar day. We are in the process of fully integrating two of our refineries, Galveston Bay and Texas City, into one complex called the Galveston Bay Refinery. We expect to complete this integration by the end of this year. Our refineries supply refined products to resellers and consumers within our market areas, including the Midwest, Gulf Coast, Northeast, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States. 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 2,730 convenience stores in 21 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 5,600 retail outlets operated by independent entrepreneurs in 19 states.
Through our ownership interests in MPLX and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MarkWest, we believe we are one of the largest processors of natural gas in the United States, the largest processor and fractionator in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions and we distribute refined products through one of the largest private domestic fleets of inland petroleum product barges. Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas and NGLs from some of the largest supply basins in the United States to domestic and international markets. Our midstream gathering and processing operations include: natural gas gathering, processing and transportation; and NGL gathering, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing. Our assets include approximately 5.6 bcf/d of gathering capacity, 7.8 bcf/d of natural gas processing capacity and 570 mbpd of fractionation capacity. We own, lease or have ownership interests in approximately
10,800
miles of crude oil and refined product pipelines, an inland marine business and one of the largest light product terminal operations in the United States to deliver crude oil to our refineries and other locations and refined products from our refineries to wholesale and retail market areas.
In the first quarter of 2017, we revised our segment reporting in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. The operating results for these assets are now reported in our Midstream segment. Previously, they were reported as part of our Refining & Marketing segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised presentation. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective January 1, 2015 and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates, these assets were not considered businesses for accounting purposes and, therefore, there are no financial results from which to recast segment results.
Our operations consist of three reportable segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Midstream. 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 refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including pipeline and marine transportation, terminal and storage services provided by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to our Speedway business segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate Marathon
®
retail outlets.

Table of Contents
•
Speedway—sells transportation fuels and convenience merchandise in retail markets in the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States.
•
Midstream – includes the operations of MPLX and certain other related operations. The Midstream segment gathers, processes and transports natural gas; gathers, transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs; and transports and stores crude oil and refined products, principally for the Refining & Marketing segment.
Strategic Actions to Enhance Shareholder Value
On January 3, 2017, we announced plans to significantly accelerate the dropdown of assets with an estimated $1.4 billion of MLP-eligible annual EBITDA to MPLX, subject to requisite approvals and regulatory clearances, including tax clearance, and market and other conditions. We expect these dropdowns to be valued consistent with recent industry precedent valuation multiples ranging between 7.0x and 9.0x EBITDA, subject to the MPLX conflicts committee review process and receipt of customary fairness opinions. We also expect MPLX to finance the dropdown transactions in the aggregate with debt and equity in approximately equal proportions. The equity financing is expected to be funded through MPLX common units issued to us. In conjunction with the completion of the dropdowns, we also expect to exchange our economic interests in the general partner of MPLX, including IDRs, for newly issued MPLX common units. These actions are designed to unlock the value inherent in our midstream platform and to provide the ongoing return of capital to shareholders in a manner consistent with maintaining an investment-grade credit profile. See “MPLX LP - Dropdowns to MPLX” for information on the first of these dropdowns, which was completed on March 1, 2017, and the second of these dropdowns, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2017. The remaining assets, with annual EBITDA of approximately $1 billion, are on schedule for dropdown to MPLX no later than the end of the first quarter of 2018.
Additionally, a special committee of our board of directors, with the assistance of an independent financial advisor, is conducting a full and thorough review of Speedway to ensure optimum value is being delivered to shareholders over the long term. We expect to provide an update on the review by the end of the third quarter of 2017.

$463 million
in the

in the first

months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. Segment results for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 included non-cash benefits related to the reversal of the company’s LCM inventory valuation reserve of $360 million and $345 million, respectively. Excluding the LCM benefit, the decrease in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to a $1.41 per barrel decrease in gross margin. The favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads was more than offset by unfavorable crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs, primarily due to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials, and less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices. The USGC and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased from
$7.66
per barrel in the second quarter of 2016 to
$9.18
per barrel in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in USGC crack spreads. In the first
six
months of 2017 as compared to 2016, excluding the LCM benefit, the favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads was more than offset by less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices and increased refinery direct operating costs. In the first
six
months of 2017 as compared to 2016, the USGC and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased from
$6.18
per barrel in the first
six
months of 2016 to
$8.46
per barrel in the first
six
months of 2017.

Speedway segment income from operations
increased
$46 million
in the
second
quarter and
$14 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. Segment results for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 included a $25 million non-cash benefit related to the reversal of the company’s LCM charge. Excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in segment income in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to higher light product gross margin, reduced operating expenses and higher merchandise gross margin. Segment results also benefited from Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016. Speedway’s light product margin increased to
18.35 cent
s per gallon in the second quarter of 2017 from
15.49 cent
s per gallon in the second quarter of 2016. In the first
six
months of 2017 as compared to 2016, excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in segment income was primarily due to contributions from Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J and reduced operating expenses offset by the absence of a $24 million gain from the sale of a retail location in 2016 and lower merchandise gross margin.
Midstream segment income from operations
increased
$79 million
in the
second
quarter and
$199 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The increases were primarily due to increased earnings from natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation, primarily driven by higher volumes and changes in natural gas and NGL prices; earnings from the recently acquired Ozark pipeline; and increased earnings from pipeline equity method investments. Comparability of the Midstream segment's results to the first
six
months of 2016 was also affected by the drop of certain terminal assets to MPLX during the first quarter of 2017. These assets were considered a business effective April 1, 2016 and the results of the light product terminals business are reflected in the Midstream segment from that date with an offsetting income from operations impact to the Refining & Marketing segment.
In the second quarter of 2017, the company recognized an $86 million charge to reflect binding settlement agreements related to certain litigation matters. Under the terms of the agreements reached with the plaintiffs and co-defendants, who are contractors engaged by MPC, the company agreed to pay $86 million, subject to requisite court approvals, in exchange for releases of all claims. The company chose to enter these agreements with the plaintiffs and co-defendants in order to settle the matters expeditiously. Further, the company plans to vigorously pursue recovery of losses, as well as defense costs, through indemnification from a significant contractor who is not a party to the settlement agreements. Items not allocated to segments in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of 2017 also include a benefit of $19 million related to MPC’s share of a gain on asset liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper pipeline project. MPC’s investment in the Sandpiper pipeline project was impaired in the third quarter of 2016. Items not allocated to segments in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of 2016 reflect $1 million and $129 million, respectively, of non-cash goodwill impairment charges recorded by MPLX. The
second
quarter of 2016 also includes an impairment charge of $89 million related to an equity method investment held by MPLX.
MPLX LP
As of
June 30, 2017
, we owned a
27.2 percent
interest in MPLX, including a
two percent
general partner interest. This ownership percentage assumes the conversion at 1.09 to 1.00 of the MPLX Class B Units, which converted on July 1, 2017.
On December 4, 2015, MPLX completed the MarkWest Merger. The total value of consideration transferred was
$8.61 billion
, consisting of
$7.33 billion
in equity and
$1.28 billion
in cash. At closing, we made a payment of
$1.23 billion
to MarkWest common unitholders and the remaining
$50 million
was paid in equal amounts, the first of which was paid in July 2016 and the second of which was paid in July 2017, in connection with the conversion of the MPLX Class B Units to MPLX common units. Our financial results and operating statistics reflect the results of MarkWest from the date of the MarkWest Merger.
Reorganization Transactions
On September 1, 2016, MPC, MPLX and various affiliates initiated a series of reorganization transactions in order to simplify MPLX’s ownership structure and its financial and tax reporting. In connection with these transactions, MPC contributed
$225 million
to MPLX and all of the issued and outstanding MPLX Class A Units, all of which were held by MarkWest Hydrocarbon, a subsidiary of MPLX, were exchanged for newly issued common units representing limited partner interests in MPLX. The simple average of the NYSE closing price of MPLX common units for the last 10 trading days preceding September 1, 2016 was used for purposes of these transactions. As a result of these transactions, MPC increased its ownership interest in MPLX by
7 million
MPLX common units, or approximately
1 percent
.
Private Placement of Preferred Units
On May 13, 2016, MPLX completed the private placement of approximately
30.8 million
6.5 percent
Series A Convertible Preferred Units (the “MPLX Preferred Units”) for a cash price of
$32.50
per unit. The aggregate net proceeds of approximately
$984 million
from the sale of the MPLX Preferred Units was used by MPLX for capital expenditures, repayment of debt and general partnership purposes.

The MPLX Preferred Units rank senior to all MPLX common units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation. The holders of the MPLX Preferred Units are entitled to receive quarterly distributions equal to
$0.528125
per unit commencing for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, with a prorated amount from the date of issuance. Following the second anniversary of the issuance of the MPLX Preferred Units, the holders of the MPLX Preferred Units will receive as a distribution the greater of
$0.528125
per unit or the amount of per unit distributions paid to common units.
The MPLX Preferred Units are convertible into MPLX common units on a one for one basis after three years, at the purchasers’ option, and after four years at MPLX’s option, subject to certain conditions.
The MPLX Preferred Units are considered redeemable securities due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event which is considered outside our control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets. We have recorded the MPLX Preferred Units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. Since the MPLX Preferred Units are not currently redeemable and not probable of becoming redeemable in the future, adjustment to the initial carrying amount is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the security would become redeemable.
Dropdowns to MPLX
On May 31, 2017, our board of directors authorized us to offer certain of our joint ownership interests in pipelines and related storage facilities to MPLX. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017, subject to requisite approvals and market conditions.
On March 1, 2017, we contributed certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX in exchange for total consideration of $2.0 billion. This consideration consisted of MPLX equity and
$1.5 billion
in cash. We received approximately
13 million
common units and
264 thousand
general partner units from MPLX, which was determined by dividing
$504 million
by the volume weighted average NYSE price of MPLX common units for the 10 trading days preceding the closing date, pursuant to the Membership Interests Contributions Agreement. We also agreed to waive two-thirds of the first quarter 2017 common unit distributions, IDRs and general partner distributions with respect to the common units issued in the transactions. The contributions of these assets were accounted for as transactions between entities under common control and we did not record a gain or loss.
On March 31, 2016, we contributed our inland marine business to MPLX in exchange for
23 million
MPLX common units and
460 thousand
general partner units. The number of units we received from MPLX was determined by dividing
$600 million
by the volume weighted average NYSE price of MPLX common units for the 10 trading days preceding March 14, 2016, pursuant to the Membership Interests Contribution Agreement. We also agreed to waive first-quarter 2016 common unit distributions, IDRs and general partner distributions, with respect to the common units issued in this transaction. The contribution of our inland marine business was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and we did not record a gain or loss.
Public Offerings
On February 10, 2017, MPLX completed a public offering of
$1.25 billion
aggregate principal amount of
4.125%
unsecured senior notes due March 2027 and
$1.0 billion
aggregate principal amount of
5.200%
unsecured senior notes due March 2047. The net proceeds were used to fund the
$1.5 billion
cash portion of the consideration MPLX paid MPC for the dropdown of assets on March 1, 2017, as well as for general partnership purposes. See Note
16
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.
ATM Program
On August 4, 2016, MPLX entered into a second amended and restated distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) providing for the continuous issuance of common units, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of any offerings under its ATM Program. MPLX expects to use the net proceeds from sales under the ATM Program for general partnership purposes including repayment of debt and funding for acquisitions, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, MPLX issued an aggregate of
13 million
common units under the ATM Program, generating net proceeds of approximately
$434 million
. As of
June 30, 2017
,
$280 million
of MPLX common units remains available for issuance through the ATM Program under the Distribution Agreement.

Acquisitions and Investments
On March 1, 2017, MPLX purchased the Ozark pipeline for approximately
$219 million
from Enbridge Pipelines (Ozark) LLC. The Ozark pipeline is a
433
-mile,
22
-inch crude oil pipeline originating in Cushing, Oklahoma, and terminating in Wood River, Illinois, capable of transporting approximately
230
mbpd.
On February 15, 2017, MPLX acquired a partial, indirect equity interest in the Dakota Access Pipeline (“DAPL”) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company Pipeline (“ETCOP”) projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system, through a joint venture with Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. (“Enbridge Energy Partners”). The Bakken Pipeline system is currently expected to deliver in excess of
470
mbpd of crude oil from the Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to the Midwest through Patoka, Illinois and ultimately to the Gulf Coast. MPLX contributed
$500 million
of the
$2 billion
purchase price paid by the joint venture to acquire a
36.75 percent
indirect equity interest in the Bakken Pipeline system from Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) and Sunoco Logistics Partners, L.P. (“SXL”). MPLX holds, through a subsidiary, a
25 percent
interest in the joint venture, which equates to an approximate
9.2 percent
indirect equity interest in the Bakken Pipeline system.
In connection with closing the transaction with ETP and SXL and the previous decision to indefinitely suspend the Sandpiper pipeline project, Enbridge Energy Partners canceled MPC’s transportation services agreement with respect to the Sandpiper pipeline and released MPC from paying any termination fee per that agreement.
Effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest, and Antero Midstream formed a joint venture, Sherwood Midstream, to support the development of Antero Resources Corporation’s Marcellus Shale acreage in West Virginia. MarkWest has a
50 percent
ownership interest in Sherwood Midstream. In connection with this transaction, MarkWest contributed certain gas processing plants currently under construction at the Sherwood Complex with a fair value of approximately
$134 million
and cash of approximately
$20 million
. Antero Midstream made an initial capital contribution of approximately
$154 million
.
Also effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest converted all of its ownership interests in Ohio Fractionation, a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, to Class A Interests and amended its LLC Agreement to create Class B-3 Interests, which were sold to Sherwood Midstream for
$126 million
in cash. The Class B-3 Interests provide Sherwood Midstream with the right to fractionation revenue and the obligation to pay expenses related to
20
mbpd of capacity in the Hopedale 3 fractionator.
Effective January 1, 2017, MarkWest and Sherwood Midstream formed a joint venture, Sherwood Midstream Holdings, for the purpose of owning, operating and maintaining all of the shared assets for the benefit of and use in the operation of the gas plants and other assets owned by Sherwood Midstream and the gas plants and de-ethanization facilities owned by MarkWest. MarkWest contributed certain real property, equipment and facilities with a fair value of approximately
$209 million
to Sherwood Midstream Holdings in exchange for a
79 percent
initial ownership interest. Sherwood Midstream contributed cash of approximately
$44 million
to Sherwood Midstream Holdings in exchange for a
21 percent
ownership interest. MarkWest has a
10.5 percent
indirect interest in Sherwood Midstream Holdings through its ownership in Sherwood Midstream. The net book value of the contributed assets was approximately
$203 million
. The contribution was determined to be an in-substance sale of
40
Table of Contents
real estate. As such, MarkWest only recognized a gain for the portion attributable to Antero Midstream’s indirect interest of approximately
$2 million
.
We account for the investments in Sherwood Midstream and Sherwood Midstream Holdings as part of our Midstream segment using the equity method of accounting and we continue to consolidate Ohio Fractionation.
See Note

In the fourth quarter of 2016, Speedway and Pilot Flying J finalized the formation of a joint venture originally consisting of
123
travel plazas, primarily in the Southeast region of the United States. The new entity, PFJ Southeast, consisted of
41
existing locations contributed by Speedway and
82
locations contributed by Pilot Flying J, all of which carry either the Pilot or Flying J brand and are operated by Pilot Flying J. Our non-cash contribution was
$273 million
based on the book value of the assets we contributed to the joint venture.
We currently have indirect ownership interests in two ocean vessel joint ventures with Crowley, which were established to own and operate Jones Act vessels in petroleum product service.
In September 2015, we acquired a
50 percent
ownership interest in a joint venture, Crowley Ocean Partners, with Crowley. The joint venture owns and operates
four
new Jones Act product tankers, three of which are leased to MPC.
Two
of the vessels were delivered in 2015 and the remaining two were delivered in 2016. We have contributed a total of
$141 million
for the
four
vessels.
In May 2016, MPC and Crowley formed a new ocean vessel joint venture, Crowley Coastal Partners, in which MPC has a
50 percent
ownership interest. MPC and Crowley each contributed their
50 percent
ownership in Crowley Ocean Partners, discussed above, into Crowley Coastal Partners. In addition, we contributed
$48 million
in cash and Crowley contributed its 100 percent ownership interest in Crowley Blue Water Partners to Crowley Coastal Partners. Crowley Blue Water Partners is an entity that owns and operates
three
750 Series ATB vessels that are leased to MPC. We account for our
50 percent
interest in Crowley Coastal Partners as part of our Midstream segment using the equity method of accounting.

Share Repurchases
On May 31, 2017, our board of directors approved an additional
$3.0 billion
share repurchase authorization. This authorization is in addition to its previous authorization, both of which have no expiration date.
Since January 1, 2012, our board of directors has approved
$13.0 billion
in total share repurchase authorizations and we have repurchased a total of
$8.61 billion
of our common stock, leaving
$4.39 billion
available for repurchases. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2017
, we acquired
23 million
common shares at an average cost per share of
$51.53
under these authorizations. See Note
8
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
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 affected 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.
Liquidity
As of
June 30, 2017
, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$1.16 billion
, excluding MPLX's cash and cash equivalents, $3.5 billion of unused bank revolving credit facilities and full availability under our $750 million trade receivables facility. As of
June 30, 2017
, we do not have any commercial paper borrowings outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. As of
June 30, 2017
, MPLX had cash and cash equivalents of $293 million and approximately $2.0 billion available through its bank revolving credit facility and $500 million available through its credit facility with MPC.
On July 21, 2017, we entered into credit agreements with a syndicate of lenders to replace MPC’s previous
$2.5 billion
four

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 ULSD and 1 barrel of three percent residual fuel oil) are used for these crack-spread calculations.
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.
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 an estimated change in annual net income due to potential changes in market conditions.

(d)
This is consumption based exposure for our Refining & Marketing segment and does not include the sales exposure for our Midstream segment.
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 selling prices realized for refined products;
•
the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;
42
Table of Contents
•
our refinery yields;
•
the cost of products purchased for resale;
•
the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk; and
•
the potential impact of LCM adjustments to inventories in periods of declining prices.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Costs of crude oil, refinery feedstocks and refined products are aggregated on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing if the LIFO cost basis of these inventories may have to be written down to market values.
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. Costs for planned turnaround, major maintenance and engineering projects are expensed in the period incurred.
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, transportation fuel prices, 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. Speedway’s convenience stores offer a wide variety of merchandise, including prepared foods, beverages and non-food items.
Midstream
NGL and natural gas prices are volatile and are impacted by changes in fundamental supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty, availability of NGL transportation and fractionation capacity and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Our profitability is affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of processing or conditioning at our own or third‑party processing plants, purchasing and selling or gathering and transporting volumes of natural gas at index‑related prices and the cost of third‑party transportation and fractionation services. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of natural gas drilling by our producer customers, such prices also affect profitability.
The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. The profitability of our marine operations primarily depends on the quantity and availability of our vessels and barges. The profitability of our light product terminal operations primarily depends on the throughput volumes at these terminals. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our pipelines and marine vessels and the refined product throughput at our terminals 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, terminals and marine operations. 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 and marine operations. 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.

$133 million
in the
second
quarter and
$168 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The improvements were primarily due to an impairment charge of $89 million related to an equity method investment held by MPLX included in the 2016 amounts and increases in income from new and existing pipeline, retail and marine affiliates in 2017. The amounts in 2017 also include $19 million related to our share of gains from the sale of assets from the canceled Sandpiper pipeline project, which was impaired in the third quarter of 2016.
Net gain on disposal of assets
decreased
$13 million
in the first

, primarily due to increases in tax rates in certain locations, partially offset by decreases in taxable refined product sales volumes.
Impairment expense reflects goodwill impairment charges of $1 million and $130 million recorded by MPLX in the
second
quarter and first

months of
2016
, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
increased
$21 million
in the
second
quarter and
$67 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The increase in the first six months is primarily the result of the decommissioning of an MPLX gas processing facility in conjunction with an expansion project at the Houston Complex.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased
$84 million
in the
second
quarter and
$95 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. In the second quarter of 2017, we recognized an $86 million charge to reflect settlement agreements related to certain litigation matters. The remaining increase in the first six months was primarily due to increases in certain employee benefit expenses.
Other taxes were consistent in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
.
Net interest and other financial costs
increased
$21 million
in the
second
quarter and
$29 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
, primarily due to the MPLX senior notes issued in February 2017, partially offset by decreased borrowings on the MPC term loan agreement and the MPLX bank revolving credit facility.

Provision for income taxes
decreased
$145 million
in the
second
quarter and
$115 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
, primarily due to decreases in income before income taxes of
$354 million
in the
second
quarter and
$145 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
as well as lower effective tax rates. The combined federal, state and foreign income tax rate was
30 percent
and
33 percent
for the three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively, and
30 percent
and
37 percent
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2017
was less than the U.S. statutory rate of
35 percent
primarily due to certain permanent tax differences related to equity compensation, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and the domestic manufacturing deduction offset by state and local tax expense. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
varies from the U.S. statutory rate of
35 percent
primarily due to certain permanent tax differences related to the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (including their proportional share of the goodwill impairment charge recorded by MPLX), the domestic manufacturing deduction and state and local tax expense.

Refining & Marketing intersegment sales to our Speedway segment
decreased
$101 million
in the
second
quarter and
increased
$324 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher refined product sales prices. For the first six months, the increase was primarily due to higher refined product sales prices partially offset by lower volumes. The lower sales volumes to Speedway in both periods were mainly due to Speedway’s contribution of 41 travel centers to a new joint venture, PFJ Southeast, in the fourth quarter of 2016. The refined product sales to PFJ Southeast continue to be reported in the Refining & Marketing segment totals above, but are no longer considered sales to the Speedway segment.

in the
second
quarter and
increased
$365 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The decrease in revenues in the second quarter was primarily due to decreases in gasoline and distillate sales and merchandise sales of
$47 million
and
$16 million
, respectively. Gasoline and distillate sales volumes decreased
72 million
gallons in the second quarter which was partially offset by an increase in average gasoline and distillate selling prices of
$0.08
per gallon. The increase in revenues in the first six months was primarily due to an increase in gasoline and distillate sales of
$406 million
, partially offset by a decrease in merchandise sales of
$41 million
. Average gasoline and distillate selling prices during the first six months increased
$0.25
per gallon which was partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of
162 million
gallons. The decreases in gasoline and distillate sales volumes and merchandise sales in both periods are primarily attributable to the contribution of 41 travel centers to PFJ Southeast in the fourth quarter of 2016. Speedway’s share of the results from PFJ Southeast are reported as income from equity method investments.

increased
$137 million
in the
second
quarter and
$382 million
in the first

months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. The increases were primarily due to increased revenue from higher natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation volumes and the recently acquired Ozark pipeline. The comparison for the first six months also reflects the absence of any revenues for the terminal services provided to the Refining & Marketing segment in the first quarter of 2016 versus the inclusion of revenues for these services in the first quarter of 2017. These assets were not considered a business prior to April, 1, 2016, and therefore, no financial results for these assets were available from which to recast first quarter 2016 Midstream segment results.

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations
decreased
$463 million
in the
second
quarter and
$447 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. Segment results for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 included non-cash benefits related to the reversal of the company’s LCM inventory valuation reserve of $360 million and $345 million, respectively. Excluding the LCM benefit, the decrease in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to a $1.41 per barrel decrease in gross margin. The favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads was more than offset by unfavorable crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs, primarily due to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials, and less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices. The USGC and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread increased from
$7.66
per barrel in the second quarter of 2016 to
$9.18
per barrel in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in USGC crack spreads. In the first
six
months of 2017 as compared to 2016, excluding the LCM benefit, the favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads was more than offset by less favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference prices and increased refinery direct operating costs.

Based on the market indicators above and our refinery throughputs, we estimate the following impacts on Refining & Marketing segment income from operations for the
second
quarter of
2017
compared to the
second
quarter of
2016
:
•
The USGC LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread
increased
$2.88
per barrel for the
second
quarter and
$3.17
per barrel for the first
six
months, which had
positive
impacts on segment income of
$364 million
in the
second
quarter and
$658 million
in the first
six
months.
•
The Chicago LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread
decreased
$0.51
per barrel for the
second
quarter which was more than offset by an increase in volume for a
positive
impact on segment income of
$9 million
. The Chicago LLS 6-3-2-1 crack spread
increased
$0.94
per barrel for the first
six
months, which had a
positive
impact on segment income of
$140 million
.
•
The sweet/sour crude oil differential
decreased
$1.43
per barrel in the
second
quarter and
$0.69
per barrel for the first
six
months, which had
negative
impacts on segment income of
$93 million
in the
second
quarter and
$68 million
in the first
six
months, partially offset by increases in volumes in both periods.
•
The LLS-WTI crude oil differential
increased
$0.29
per barrel for the
second
quarter which had
positive
impacts on segment income of
$12 million
. The LLS-WTI crude oil differential
increased
$0.12
per barrel for the first
six
months which was more than offset by a decrease in volume for a
negative
impact of
$3 million
.
The above market indicators use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Differences in our results compared to these market indicators, including the effects of product price realizations, the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, as well as the effects of inventory valuation adjustments, market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, and other items like refinery yields and other feedstock variances, had an estimated
negative
impact on Refining & Marketing segment income of
$768 million
for the
second
quarter and
$989 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
.

Refinery direct operating costs
decreased
$0.30
per barrel in the
second
quarter of
2017
compared to the
second
quarter of
2016
primarily due to decreases in planned turnaround and major maintenance and other manufacturing costs of
$0.15
per barrel and
$0.11
per barrel, respectively. The decrease in planned turnaround and major maintenance costs for the
second
quarter of
2017
was primarily attributable to lower turnaround costs incurred by the Garyville and Robinson refineries, partially offset by increases in turnaround costs incurred by the Galveston Bay and Texas City refineries. Other manufacturing costs per barrel decreased in the second quarter as increases in utilities and catalyst costs were offset by increased crude oil throughputs. Refinery direct operating costs
increased
$0.40
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same period of
2016
, primarily due to increases in both planned turnaround and major maintenance and other manufacturing costs of
$0.19
per barrel. The increase for the first six months of 2017 reflects higher turnaround costs incurred by the Texas City and Garyville refineries, partially offset by lower turnaround costs incurred by the Robinson and Galveston Bay refineries. Other manufacturing costs increased in the first six months due to increased utilities and catalyst costs.
We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our Renewable Fuel Standard compliance. Our expense associated with RINs increased to
$109 million
in the
second
quarter and
$206 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
from
$78 million
in the
second
quarter and
$141 million
in the first
six
months of
2016
. The increases for both periods of
2017
were primarily due to higher weighted average RIN costs driven by higher prices on purchased RINs and increases in the number of RINs purchased.
Speedway segment income from operations
increased
$46 million
in the
second
quarter and
$14 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the same periods of
2016
. Segment results for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 included a $25 million non-cash benefit related to the reversal of the company’s LCM charge. Excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in segment income in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to higher light product gross margin, reduced operating expenses and higher merchandise gross margin. Segment results also benefited from Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016. Speedway’s light product margin increased to $271 million, or
18.35 cent
s per gallon, in the second quarter of 2017 from $240 million, or
15.49 cent
s per gallon in the second quarter of 2016. In the first
six
months of 2017 as compared to 2016, excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in segment income was primarily due to contributions from Speedway’s new joint venture with Pilot Flying J and reduced operating expenses offset by the absence of a $24 million gain from the sale of a retail location in 2016 and lower merchandise gross margins.

The increases were primarily due to increased earnings from natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation, primarily driven by higher volumes and changes in natural gas and NGL prices; earnings from the recently acquired Ozark pipeline; and increased earnings from pipeline equity method investments. Comparability of the Midstream segment's results to the first six months of 2016 was also affected by the drop of certain terminal assets to MPLX during the quarter of 2017. These assets were considered a business effective April 1, 2016 and the results of the light product terminals business are reflected in the Midstream segment from that date with an offsetting income from operations impact to the Refining & Marketing segment.
Corporate and other unallocated items
increased
$19 million
in the
second
quarter and
$36 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
, largely due to an increase in certain employee benefit expenses along with lower allocation of corporate costs to the segments.
In the second quarter of 2017, we recognized an $86 million charge to reflect settlement agreements related to certain litigation matters. Items not allocated to segments in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of 2017 also include a benefit of $19 million related to MPC’s share of a gain on asset liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper pipeline project. MPC’s investment in the Sandpiper pipeline project was impaired in the third quarter of 2016. Items not allocated to segments in the
second
quarter and first
six
months of 2016 reflect $1 million and $130 million, respectively, of non-cash goodwill impairment charges recorded by MPLX. The
second
quarter of 2016 also includes an impairment charge of $89 million related to an equity method investment held by MPLX.

Net cash provided by operating activities
decreased
$635 million
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the first
six
months of
2016
, primarily due to an unfavorable change in working capital of
$469 million
, partially offset by an increase in operating results. Changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net
$302 million
source of cash in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to a net
$771 million
source of cash in the first
six
months of
2016
. The changes in working capital for the first
six
months of
2017
were primarily due to decreases in current receivables and inventories partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Changes from
December 31, 2016
to
June 30, 2017
per the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
•
Current receivables
decreased
$358 million
from year-end
2016
, primarily due to lower refined product and crude volumes.
•
Accounts payable
decreased
$286 million
from year-end
2016
, primarily due to the timing of costs incurred for certain major maintenance activity and capital projects, lower feedstocks and other light product purchases and lower crude purchase prices, partially offset by higher crude purchase volumes.
•
Inventories
decreased
$108 million
from year-end
2016
, primarily due to decreases in refined product and material and supplies inventories, partially offset by an increase in crude oil inventories.
The net $771 million source of cash from working capital changes in the first six months of 2016 were primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a decrease in inventories, partially offset by an increase in current receivables. Changes from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 per the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
•
Accounts payable increased $471 million from year-end 2015, primarily due to higher crude oil prices.
•
Current receivables increased $272 million from year-end 2015, primarily due to higher crude oil prices, partially offset by lower volumes.
•
Inventories decreased $16 million from year-end 2015, primarily due to decreases in crude oil and refined product inventory volumes partially offset by a $370 million reversal of the company’s LCM inventory valuation reserve.
Net cash used in investing activities was
$516 million
higher
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the first
six
months of
2016
primarily due to investments and acquisitions made by MPLX during the first
six
months, which are described further below.

Net cash contributed to equity method investments
increased
$484 million
for the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the first
six
months of
2016
, primarily due to MPLX’s investment of
$500 million
for a partial interest in the Bakken Pipeline system. Net cash used for acquisitions increased due to MPLX’s acquisition of the Ozark pipeline for
$220 million
. Net cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment
decreased
$166 million
primarily due to decreased capital expenditures in our Refining & Marketing, Speedway and Corporate segments. Cash from disposal of assets decreased
$42 million
primarily due to the absence of a sale of a Speedway retail location in the first
six
months 2016. The net cash from all other investing activities increased
$64 million
primarily due to increased RIN sales.
Financing activities were a net
$613 million
source of cash in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to a net
$474 million
use of cash in the first
six
months of
2016
. In the first
six
months of
2017
, sources of cash from financing activities included long-term debt borrowings, proceeds from issuances of MPLX common units and contributions from noncontrolling interests which were partially offset by uses of cash in financing activities including common stock repurchases, dividend payments, distributions to noncontrolling interests, long-term debt repayments and a portion of the contingent consideration payment to the seller of the Galveston Bay refinery.
Long-term debt borrowings and repayments, including debt issuance costs, were a net
$2.01 billion
source of cash in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to a net
$893 million
use of cash in the first
six
months of
2016
. During the first
six
months of
2017
, MPLX issued $2.25 billion of senior notes and we repaid the remaining $200 million balance under the MPC term loan agreement. During the first
six
months of
2016
, MPLX repaid amounts outstanding under the MPLX bank revolving credit facility.
Cash used in common stock repurchases
increased
$1.04 billion
in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the first
six
months of
2016
as cash proceeds from the dropdown of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX on March 1, 2017 supported share repurchases of
$1.17 billion
in the first

months of
2016
, primarily due to a
$0.08

$0.72
per common share in the first
six

2017
compared to
$0.64

in the first
six
months of
2017
compared to the first
six
months of

. The distributions increased primarily due to an increase in total MPLX common units outstanding and distributions paid on the MPLX Preferred Units.
Cash provided by contributions from noncontrolling interests increased
$126 million
in the first
six
months of 2017 compared to the first

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets and a commercial paper program, 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 July 21, 2017, we entered into credit agreements with a syndicate of lenders to replace MPC’s previous
$2.5 billion
four
-year bank revolving credit facility and
$1 billion
364
-day revolving credit facility. The new credit agreements provide for a
$2.5 billion
five
year bank revolving credit facility that expires in July 2022 and a
$1 billion
364
-day bank revolving credit facility that expires in July 2018. In addition, on July 21, 2017, MPLX entered into a credit agreement to replace its previous
$2 billion
five
-year bank revolving credit facility with a
$2.25 billion
five
-year bank revolving credit facility that expires in July 2022. The financial covenants and the interest rate terms contained in the new credit agreements are substantially the same as those contained in the previous bank revolving credit facilities.
As discussed in the “Strategic Actions to Enhance Shareholder Value” section in the Corporate Overview, we expect MPLX to finance the planned dropdown transactions in the aggregate with debt and equity in approximately equal proportions. The equity financing will be funded through MPLX common units issued to us. In conjunction with the completion of the dropdowns, we also expect to exchange our economic interests in the general partner of MPLX, including IDRs, for newly issued MPLX common units. Cash proceeds from the dropdowns and ongoing MPLX common unit distributions to us are expected to fund the substantial ongoing return of capital to MPC shareholders in a manner consistent with maintaining an investment-grade credit profile.
On February 10, 2017, MPLX completed a public offering of
$1.25 billion
aggregate principal amount of
4.125%
unsecured senior notes due March 2027 and
$1.0 billion
aggregate principal amount of
5.200%
unsecured senior notes due March 2047. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1
st
and September 1
st
of each year, commencing on September 1, 2017.
We may, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

Table of Contents
We established a commercial paper program that allows us to have a maximum of $2.0 billion in commercial paper outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. As of
June 30, 2017
, we had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.
The MPC bank revolving credit facility and MPLX credit agreement, which provides for the MPLX bank revolving credit facility and the MPLX term loan facility (“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 MPC bank revolving credit facility 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 MPC bank revolving credit facility) of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of
June 30, 2017
, we were in compliance with this financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Total Capitalization of
0.30
to 1.00, as well as the other covenants contained in the MPC bank revolving credit facility.
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). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. As of
June 30, 2017
, MPLX was in compliance with this debt covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of
3.4
to 1.0, as well as the other covenants contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement.
Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of
June 30, 2017
, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were at or above investment grade level as follows.
Company
Rating Agency
Rating
MPC
Moody’s
Baa2 (negative outlook)
Standard & Poor’s
BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch
BBB (negative watch)
MPLX
Moody’s
Baa3 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s
BBB- (stable outlook)
Fitch
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 MPC bank revolving credit facility, MPLX Credit Agreement nor our trade receivables 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 MPC bank revolving credit facility, MPLX Credit Agreement, our trade receivables facility and debt held by our ocean vessel joint venture with Crowley. 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 facility, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis or result in us having to post letters of credit under existing transportation services agreements.

Capital Requirements
Our board originally approved a
2017
capital spending and investment plan of
$1.7 billion
for MPC, excluding MPLX. This budget includes spending on refining and marketing, retail and non-MPLX midstream projects as well as amounts designated for corporate projects. The remaining midstream projects are included in the MPLX budget. During the first quarter of
2017
, MPLX updated its plan for organic growth capital to a range of
$1.8 billion
to
$2.0 billion
, up from $1.4 billion to $1.7 billion. The increase includes capital to support the development of additional natural gas processing facilities, including the Argo I plant in the Delaware Basin and the Sherwood Complex in the Northeast, and an expansion of the Ozark pipeline. MPLX maintenance capital is forecast to be approximately
$150 million
, an increase of $50 million versus previous guidance, primarily due to expenditures related to assets MPLX acquired during the quarter. Approximately $100 million of these increases will result in a corresponding reduction to MPC’s capital spending plan as the spending relates to the assets that were contributed to MPLX on March 1, 2017. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, our capital expenditures and investments totaled $1.36 billion, excluding MPLX’s acquisitions of a partial interest in the Bakken Pipeline system for
$500 million
and the Ozark pipeline for approximately
$220 million
and capitalized interest. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as conditions warrant.
During the second quarter of 2017, we paid BP $131 million for the fourth year’s contingent earnout related to our 2013 acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery. This second quarter payment represents the final payment under the agreement. See Note
14
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Centennial experienced a significant reduction in shipment volumes in the second half of 2011 that has continued through the
second
quarter of
2017
. At
June 30, 2017
, 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 market conditions were to change 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
June 30, 2017
, our equity investment in Centennial was $34 million
and we had a
$23 million
guarantee associated with 50 percent of Centennial’s outstanding debt. See Note
21
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the debt guarantee.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, we chose to make a
$120 million
voluntary contribution to our funded pension plans. We may choose to make voluntary contributions for future years at our discretion.
On July 26, 2017, our board of directors approved an 11 percent increase in the quarterly dividend, to $0.40 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable September 11, 2017, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2017.
During the first
six
months of
2017
, we paid
$1.17 billion
to acquire
23 million
common shares through open market share repurchases at an effective average cost of
$51.53
per delivered share. These share repurchases were supported by cash proceeds from the dropdown of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX on March 1, 2017. See Note
8
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
56
Table of Contents
We may utilize various methods to effect additional share repurchases, which could include open market purchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be affected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future share repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
Contractual Cash Obligations
As of
June 30, 2017
, our contractual cash obligations included long-term debt, capital and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities. During the first
six
months of
2017
, our long-term debt commitments increased $3.87 billion due to the public offering of MPLX senior notes in February 2017, partially offset by repayment of $200 million of outstanding borrowings under the MPC term loan agreement.
In the first six months of 2017, our transportation services agreement for the Sandpiper pipeline was terminated and we entered into two new transportation services agreements. As a result, we had a net decrease in our long-term transportation commitments of $1.67 billion which affected the years 2018 to 2021 and beyond.
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 U.S. GAAP. 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
21
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
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 requirements, including our capital budget and investment spending, costs for projects under construction, project completion dates and expectations or projections about strategies and goals for growth, upgrades and expansion, the carrying value of our Centennial equity investment, future contributions to our funded pension plans and share repurchases. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in our forward-looking statements regarding capital requirements include: the availability of liquidity; 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; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives related to the strategic initiatives discussed herein; adverse changes in laws including with respect to tax and regulatory matters; inability to agree with the MPLX conflicts committee with respect to the timing of and value attributed to assets identified for dropdown; changes to the expected construction costs and timing of projects; delays in obtaining 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 or unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response; civil protests and resulting legal/regulatory uncertainty regarding environmental and social issues, including pipeline infrastructure, may prevent or delay the construction and operation of such infrastructure and realization of associated revenues; continued/further volatility in and/or degradation of market and industry conditions; the availability and pricing of crude oil and other feedstocks; slower growth in domestic and Canadian crude supply; completion of pipeline capacity to areas outside the U.S. Midwest; consumer demand for refined products; transportation logistics; the reliability of processing units and other equipment; MPC's ability to successfully implement growth opportunities; modifications to MPLX earnings and distribution growth objectives; compliance with federal and state environmental, economic, health and safety, energy and other policies and regulations, including the cost of compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard, and/or enforcement actions initiated thereunder; adverse results in litigation; changes to MPC's capital budget; other risk factors inherent to MPC's industry. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For additional information on forward-looking statements

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 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 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 $650 million between 2014 and 2019 to comply with these standards, which includes estimated capital expenditures of approximately $160 million in 2017.
There have been no other significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended

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
June 30, 2017
is provided in the following table.

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
June 30, 2017
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, including the portion classified as current and excluding capital leases, as of
June 30, 2017
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.

.
(c)
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
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
.
At
June 30, 2017
, our portfolio of long-term debt was comprised of fixed-rate instruments and variable-rate borrowings under the MPLX term loan facility. 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 MPLX term loan facility, 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
June 30, 2017
, 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
June 30, 2017
, 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.

(a)
We revised our operating segment presentation in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage assets to MPLX. The operating results for these assets, which were previously included in the Refining & Marketing segment, are now included in the Midstream segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised presentation. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast effective January 1, 2015 and the results for the terminal assets were recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates, these assets were not considered businesses and, therefore, there are no financial results from which to recast segment results.

The Refining & Marketing and Speedway segments include inventory LCM benefits of
$360 million
and
$25 million
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016

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, other than items arising in the ordinary course of business, previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Litigation
As previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017, we are a co-defendant in four lawsuits consolidated for pre-trial purposes in a multi-district litigation pending in the 56
th
District Court, Galveston County, Texas. Plaintiffs allege personal injuries from a fire that occurred at our Galveston Bay refinery on January 11, 2016. The other co-defendants in this litigation are contractors that were engaged by us to provide services at our Galveston Bay refinery. In mid-July 2017, the parties participated in a mediation process and began settlement discussions. On August 1, 2017, we entered into binding settlement agreements with the plaintiffs and co-defendants, subject to requisite court approvals, whereby we agreed to pay $86 million to settle all four lawsuits. We recorded a liability for the losses under these settlement agreements, which resulted in a charge of $86 million in the second quarter of 2017. Further, we plan to vigorously pursue recovery of losses, as well as defense costs, through indemnification from a significant contractor who is not party to the settlement agreements.
Environmental Proceedings
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a Notice of Claim to Marathon Petroleum Company LP on June 23, 2017. The Notice of Claim alleges three violations related to an August 2016 tanker rupture incident. We have agreed to pay a civil penalty of $150,000 to resolve this matter.
