Summary
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) filed an 8-K on February 2, 2022, to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. The filing primarily furnishes the press release detailing these results, which is incorporated by reference. Investors should note that this information is furnished and not deemed "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it doesn't automatically become part of future SEC filings unless explicitly incorporated.

While the 8-K itself doesn't contain the detailed financial figures, it directs readers to the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for comprehensive data on revenue, earnings, and other operational metrics.
