What was the overall financial performance of Marathon Petroleum Corporation in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012?

For the third quarter of 2012, Marathon Petroleum Corporation reported net income of $1.224 billion, or $3.59 per diluted share, compared to $1.133 billion, or $3.16 per diluted share, in the same period of 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, net income was $2.634 billion, or $7.65 per diluted share, up from $2.464 billion, or $6.88 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2011. The increases were primarily driven by gains from asset sales and improved segment performance, partially offset by higher expenses such as pension settlement costs.

What are the key drivers behind the increase in revenues for the first nine months of 2012?

The increase in total revenues and other income to $61.781 billion for the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to higher refined product selling prices, increased crude oil and refinery feedstock sales volumes, and higher consumer excise taxes. The company also saw an increase in refined product sales volumes compared to the same period in the prior year.

How did the company's segment performance contribute to the overall results?

The Refining & Marketing segment's income from operations increased year-over-year for the first nine months, largely due to a higher gross margin per barrel driven by improved crack spreads. The Speedway segment saw revenue growth from increased gasoline, distillates, and merchandise sales, supported by strategic acquisitions. The Pipeline Transportation segment's income saw a decrease, primarily due to reduced shipment volumes and dividend income from pipeline affiliates.

What significant strategic actions did MPC undertake during this period?

MPC executed several key strategic initiatives, including acquiring convenience stores for its Speedway segment, announcing the significant acquisition of BP's Texas City refinery and related assets, and completing the initial public offering (IPO) of its midstream subsidiary, MPLX. The company also continued its share repurchase program, buying back approximately $1.35 billion in common stock through two Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) programs.
