guys. Good Clay This morning, Hi. is on Doug. for

questions. for So thanks taking the

XXXX. to diesel to the into offer Today is and is you the macro need question this on you're on But wouldn't complex back a first setup my So other the for a gasoline. yields. view can biased those way summer? you driving back how price winter maximize swing margin obviously signal transitions Because theoretically to

So we see catch gasoline up? diesel robust remains do if

Timothy Go

for summer max diesel. certainly this that you tell are all of to most cracks is to diesel dieselization Clay, Yes, mode maximize in during this continue Even Yes, we're refineries I'll year. incentivize saw max -- But stronger our in been mode much they've Tim. us dieselization the pretty today. we

the in to from and mode summer back that year max-diesel the will increase be as strength gasoline to next gasoline incentives this the start continue switching even back at and the transition time. see into So this will gasoline that have mode we may to we again to to and winter same spring that summer anticipate then both the people in we some next incentivize diesel

Unidentified Analyst

there recently because it appreciate touched second and takeaway the I fixed that. it. is get Waha the very situation tight My half to on benchmarks gas, is XXXX. so second until the question Got zero, doesn't

the cost. with So, means hydrotreating cost I'm and that wondering for Navajo operating what for also

Tim Go

prices us gas go definitely pleased in pretty in earlier natural We're high differential It's country natural Southwest helps we've down. We've costs, the seen across on operating Yes. it. with gas as the the much come year. watched that It for surprising.

we see of Overall, to our or dollar in an happy EBITDA I a these we're every normally made before, So think, that. fleets. our gas, change see million across all minus $XX basis we've comments in on about plus for overall annual but natural

energy watch we So pretty prices carefully.

Your Stanley. the from of Morgan Lynagh next question Connor from comes line

Your is open. line

Connor Lynagh

Yes. Thanks.

a think to XXXX little wanted bit Just about here.

on higher talking also I'm a turnarounds, reduced but thinking were through, obviously, cost renewables. You about then

the year? you think can cost help how us walk items on those about big should just -- puts and we next CapEx and takes So through big for

Mike Jennings

Yes.

we're at as turnarounds, around roll into obviously, the to guidance we a offset. maintenance we'll going for frame. providing planned Those again, And but year, level, specific CapEx think, time high be expense, come I higher renewables. guidance February lower the on coming largely probably maintenance update

Connor Lynagh

Okay.

the XXXX XXXX of there? place kind you're net-net, as So same versus about the takeaway

Mike Jennings

Maybe little higher, roughly. a but

Connor Lynagh

lot see a Okay. Got one. being set niche markets? where obviously, Where pricing sort core if you off it. You makes in do of you level your higher Maybe that have see market of one just exposure, structural sense. of, do guys, pricing

basically Do mid-cycle being transportation you a that's coastal more feel think So on off you're your you markets? plus a that you the priced right you like crack Coast do go-forward previously way think pointed Do in forecast to about How costs. to Gulf basis? of it? think about

Tim Go

shot a Yes, Connor. that I'll at take

believe we trade through are the So the the East have that shift the given seeing Russia-Ukraine the natural has historically that would changed of set marginal over there, increases conflict. -- flows that imports the refining of part occurred price come that in. Coast conflict, they're Coast Clearly, gas economics off European East the that

cost and are set We from more Asia, And coming Coast Mid-Con really, really into believe Gulf price of are off which refineries mechanism Gulf setting the us. some of more are marginal East a set Coast structure, the higher basically our Coast creates the Coast. off the actually then now of for that barrels East coming a is the

today that today which marginal versus Coast Gulf price today coming we we advantage have we structural a then think Coast have we mechanism, setting the versus and versus barrels is So East the really we think Asia import have think, in. we we that the see the

all cost of know the we QTI structural with and advantage from there. from believe as op structure, we we that the seeing those a we a standpoint at we we're So, have and Brent look standpoint strength know gas things natural we that at both the advantage have are right and a crude looking WCS differential a you're now

marginal the niche product diesel we a gasoline, our where for when products for both market producer. again And over and advantages for see you look we advantage, strong think a have we then at placement

We believe refining there's shortfall in a domestic supply capacity.

principally taking industry of we've yet it doesn't And try to cash and in a bit, we're absorb the watch back this current that's going adjust expectations, we higher higher. with our important just with it after I heels So EBITDA mid-cycle in having real that on deal. our to probably terms We that, what that obviously that terms a those focus EBITDA levers distribution to as two little yet suggest? do whether deck, first and million closing structure were of a what's the is, front in does slide the it to I refining to affect opportunity more the what on But being here are chosen that just our Sinclair well, months mean, go would seven There's that more the number. synergies un-quantified.

question And our next follow-up line comes Cheng the from of Paul from Scotiabank.

Your is open. line

Paul Cheng

Hey, you. guys. Thank

Just – Sinclair the terms a already. synergy, achieved of that, mentioned in a quick you follow million you $XXX Mike,

biggest piece going from? point for if where where there's the you this it's from So on, do there's opportunity to first come if that -- see any that is question. That's Where incremental opportunity the that benefit? synergy

question, that into And of second $XX back million impact. Tim the to go want mentioned Lubricant, I you

the throughput that's on based on barrel So per third your about $XX quarter.

that, And market that, other we low. that I actually should an go back – from they when your reconcile to your we mean, accounting indicator has the talk still of up. actually FIFO be people we're that look also oil at utilize something that trying is to we in indicate also why So, outside standpoint even you if need that aware. is the I so margins up, to added And the been Exxon very it's base when XX%, margin like gross say

Tim Go

Tim. is this Paul, Yes,

hit those Let me questions. of both try to

side, you into synergies. focus Certainly, on. to but think the and with that integrate mix, just there's Mike the there's synergy that continue can Sinclair still, the opportunity Sound mentioned, as Puget Sinclair, capture all to add believe lot of a the On I for benefits us we we lot opportunity a we more also organically of as

think in into supply given putting examples, we Casper a Rockies Cross opportunities we're deliveries product Rollins chain various of transportation by a pipeline there's optimize the and just trucking the and our Couple our chain savings of our and the between to be supply savings, Woods area, presence just and continues of managing savings logistics. there how markets tariff to us refinery optimizing logistics, pipeline refinery refinery, and the truck lot our lot for

we our standpoint, terms in the across standpoint, lift be procurement opportunities continue bar procurement but we refineries, our there. going whole scale a we a reliability to our we've continue as going in From From knowledge captured to and leverage share continue utilization. seven portfolio now to savings to we to some have reliability more procurement and we across as that portfolio already, there's we're leverage believe our refineries performance the of think

at finally, the then products especially us opportunities that refineries, that Mountain again that to we Rocky going of and generate make in we the some for of integrate to oil optimization opportunities like amongst, some more asphalt future. are think there's fuel these as refineries in intermediate things And the

Paul Cheng

you estimate Do do XX you may your for months the incremental next target capture? an the sorry, synergy able have of to have estimate you over benefit -- that be

Tim Go

estimates have time. share after, but -- we there's nothing this we and going initiatives with we're you have that do to Paul, internally at

Mike Jennings

list first next the We chunk had opportunities Paul, as on gotten felt and we to the they just next up and where how like that through are. building big we're quantify the are we're next going quarter's call. to

Tim Go

of Paul, the FIFO, associated what that $XX million question say if Lubes EBITDA. apply with million we your to talked million reported $XX take On you just is, mean, you $XX would the that about I I

You stronger number rate. seasonally half mid-cycle with the in talked of of weaker. that get we year, of that always half first terms We've about said is our is consistent a the year a second run our estimate year that's

quarter And we're the kind headwinds, think quarter have think be of will run at continue good that's so to similar. to but run we we We'll for mid-cycle our run for able be kind here to and the FIFO third fourth pretty to business. run a We rates of rate. being able mid-cycle going think at

Atanas Atanasov

-- overall look just is, a just year-to-date impact only the with add in headwind -- If And it's overall if important quarter Paul, is on I the the FIFO this I for even this could not because not vacuum, at positive. is look quarter if also basis, can It's to Atanas. you negative. this

out. over Tim time kind evens as indicated so FIFO earlier And of

But is above timing this mid-cycle. year on a more we're So basis in or full year-to-date at a of thing.

Paul Cheng

All see. right. I you. Thank
