Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $334 million compared to $155 million in the first quarter of 2022.

“CVR Energy has reported solid first quarter 2023 results, including the impact of planned downtime related to the coke conversion at the Coffeyville Refinery,” said Dave Lamp, Chief Executive Officer of CVR Energy. “Petroleum segment results were driven by continued strong diesel cracks and improved gasoline cracks. The Wynnewood Renewable Diesel Unit processed approximately 23 million gallons of bean oil during the quarter. In addition, the Company continued with currently anticipated progress at Wynnewood’s Pre-Treatment Unit, which is scheduled to become operational in the third quarter of 2023. CVR Energy also announced a cash dividend of 50 cents per share for the first quarter of 2023.

“CVR Partners delivered strong results for the first quarter of 2023, driven by record production, somewhat offset by lower fertilizer prices during the quarter,” Lamp said. “CVR Partners announced a cash distribution of $10.43 per common unit for the first quarter of 2023.”
