About CVR Energy

CVR Energy runs a group of subsidiaries that turn crude oil into fuel products and also make nitrogen fertilizers, with all of its plants located in the United States. Motorists and industry buyers alike depend on the fuels it produces, including gasoline and diesel, and this refining work is what the company is most associated with. Its operations are split into two divisions, one built around petroleum and the other around nitrogen fertilizer output.

Within the Petroleum division, crude oil is converted into usable fuels at a coking refinery situated in southeast Kansas capable of handling medium-sour crude, plus a second processing plant in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, with pipeline and storage assets tying the two together. Buyers of these fuels include gas stations, rail operators, farm cooperatives, and other companies that refine or market fuel. On the fertilizer side, one plant relies on gasifying pet coke to create nitrogen fertilizer, while a separate site in East Dubuque, Illinois, makes ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate. Farmers make up the main market for the UAN, whereas the ammonia is sold to both agricultural and industrial buyers.

The company dates back to 1906 and keeps its headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas. It operates as a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P., and its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker CVI.

Last earnings call, Jul 29, 2026 AI summary

What they said
CVR Energy reported Q2 2026 consolidated net income of $46 million, adjusted EBITDA of $209 million, and adjusted EPS of $0.34. Petroleum segment adjusted EBITDA surged to $106 million from $38 million in Q2 2025, driven by Group 3 2-1-1 crack spreads rising to $44.91/barrel vs $24.02/barrel prior year. Crude utilization hit 98% and ammonia utilization 99%. However, RIN expenses of $216 million ($11.16/barrel) significantly compressed capture rates to 28%.
Guidance
Management declared a $0.10/share Q2 dividend and indicated market conditions may support leverage reduction. No formal earnings guidance provided; significant uncertainty remains around EPA rulings on Wynnewood's SRE petition and 2025 RFS compliance obligations, with the compliance deadline approximately one month away.
