Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes a custom group of peers, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of SEC Regulation S-K included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2020, through the end of the listed year in Valero and in the custom group of peer issuers used in our performance graph, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. Our selected peer group comprises the following eleven members: ConocoPhillips; CVR Energy, Inc.; Delek US Holdings, Inc.; the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE); EOG Resources, Inc.; HF Sinclair Corporation; Marathon Petroleum Corporation; Occidental Petroleum Corporation; PBF Energy Inc.; Phillips 66; and LyondellBassell Industries N.V. (the “Peer Group”). The returns of each component issuer of the group have been weighted according to their stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) serves as a proxy for stock price performance of the energy sector and includes energy companies with which we compete for capital. We believe that the Peer Group represents a group of issuers for making head-to-head performance comparisons in a competitive operating environment that is primarily characterized by U.S.-based companies that have business models predominantly consisting of downstream refining operations, together with similarly sized energy companies that share operating similarities to us, and that are in adjacent segments of the oil and gas industry.            
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for each PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards and the Exclusion of Change in Pension Value columns, respectively, are the totals from the “Stock Awards” and “Change in Pension Value and Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” columns in the Summary Compensation Table. The amounts in Inclusion of Pension Service Cost and Prior Service Cost are based on the service cost for services rendered during the listed year and prior service cost, calculated as the entire cost of benefits granted (or credit for benefits reduced) in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the listed year that are attributed by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the amendment.

Pay vs Performance Disclosure              
Name Adjusted EPS            
Non-GAAP Measure Description Net income reflects net income as reported in Valero’s audited financial statements. We determined adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2025, and also in 2024, 2023, and 2022 (the first year we were required to disclose such measure). We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Adjusted EPS is not defined under GAAP and is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Executive Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus” above for adjustments and a description of how 2025 adjusted EPS is calculated from our audited financial statements. Adjusted EPS amounts in this column reflect the amounts actually used by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee for compensation determinations in such year, and does not reflect any out-of-period adjustments that did not impact Valero’s EPS as reported in Valero’s audited financial statements.

footnote (5) continued
For prior years, adjustments from EPS attributable to Valero stockholders – assuming dilution consist of: for 2024, project liability adjustment and second-generation biofuel tax credit; for 2023, gain on early retirement of debt; for 2022, gain on sale of an ethanol plant, gain on early redemption and retirement of debt, adjustment for renewable volume obligations modification, adjustment for an environmental reserve associated with a non-operating site, adjustment for a pension settlement charge, adjustment for foreign withholding tax, and adjustment for asset impairment loss; and for 2021, gain on sale of a portion of our interest in the MVP joint venture, impairment charge for cancellation of the Diamond Pipeline extension, loss on early redemption and retirement of debt, adjustment for changes in certain statutory tax rates, and adjustment for change in estimated useful life of two ethanol plants. Adjusted EPS amounts for years presented prior to 2025, and a further reconciliation and discussion of how such amounts are calculated from our audited financial statements, can be found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Executive Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus” sections of our proxy statements filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025, March 26, 2024, March 22, 2023, and March 17, 2022, respectively.
