Summary
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) reported a net loss attributable to MPC of $(7) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. This compares to a net income attributable to MPC of $37 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018. The decline in profitability was largely driven by increased net interest and other financial costs, higher provision for income taxes, and an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which more than offset an increase in income from operations. The company's results reflect the full consolidation of Andeavor, acquired on October 1, 2018. While this acquisition significantly increased revenues and expanded the company's scale and diversification, it also brought higher depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, and other taxes. Despite the reported net loss, MPC's operational performance showed a significant increase in income from operations, highlighting the underlying strength of its integrated downstream energy business and the contributions from the Andeavor integration.
