Description of the Business

We are a leading, integrated, downstream energy company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. We operate the nation's largest refining system. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to consumers through our Retail business segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate approximately 7,000 branded outlets. Our retail operations own and operate approximately 3,870 retail transportation fuel and convenience stores across the United States and also sell transportation fuel to consumers through approximately 1,070 direct dealer locations under long-term supply contracts. MPC’s midstream operations are primarily conducted through MPLX LP (“MPLX”), which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing, and fractionation assets. We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX.

See Note 23 Subsequent Events for information regarding the announced agreement to sell our Speedway business.

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
