What Par Pacific does
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR) is a Houston-based, vertically integrated downstream energy company that owns and operates 219,000 barrels per day of refining capacity across four locations: Par Hawaii Refining in Kapolei (the only petroleum refinery in Hawaii), U.S. Oil & Refining in Tacoma, Washington, Wyoming Refining Company in Newcastle, and Par Montana in Billings (acquired from ExxonMobil in October 2024). The company also controls an extensive logistics network comprising 13 million barrels of storage, plus marine, rail, rack, and pipeline assets (including 140 miles of crude gathering systems and 40 miles of refined product pipelines in the Upper Rockies), and it holds a 46% interest in Laramie Energy, a natural gas producer in Western Colorado.
The company's revenue model is anchored in transaction-based sales of refined petroleum products — gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, marine fuels, and asphalt — sold B2B under contract pricing indexed to market crack-spread benchmarks and B2C through branded retail stations under the Hele (Hawaii) and nomnom (Pacific Northwest) brands, as well as the 76 brand in the western United States. Through the Hawaii Renewables joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation and ENEOS Corporation (closed October 2025 with a $100 million partner investment), Par Pacific is expanding into renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable LPG, with a 61 million gallon-per-year facility targeting startup by March 2026; SAF offtake agreements with Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines are the first commercial anchors. Retail and wholesale distribution combines direct enterprise sales with consumer-facing fuel and convenience retail across approximately 3,000 employees companywide.
Financial performance in FY2025 turned sharply positive, with adjusted EBITDA of $633.5 million (up from $238.7 million in FY2024, a 165% increase), net income of $369.4 million (reversing a $33.3 million loss in FY2024), record refining throughput of 188,000 barrels per day, and full-year adjusted EPS of $7.56. The company maintains $915 million in liquidity, completed a $500 million 7.375% senior notes private placement in May 2026 to refinance its term loan due 2030, and has reduced share count by roughly 18% over 2024-2025 through aggressive buybacks. Its geographic footprint — Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, and the Rockies — is concentrated in logistically complex, supply-isolated markets where the company holds structural cost and distribution advantages.
