Summary
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) reported a decrease in net income attributable to MPC for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. This decline was primarily driven by lower refining and marketing gross margins, despite an increase in refined product sales volumes due to the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery. Speedway segment income from operations saw an increase, benefiting from higher gasoline, distillate, and merchandise gross margins. The company completed a significant acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets in February 2013, which contributed to increased revenues and costs. MPC also continued its share repurchase program, returning substantial capital to shareholders. While overall profitability declined year-over-year for the reported periods, the company's liquidity remains strong, supported by cash on hand and revolving credit facilities.
