Par Pacific (PARR) - Major Customers
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (PARR) operates in three primary segments: Refining, Logistics, and Retail. Based on its significant revenue contribution from its Refining and Logistics segments, Par Pacific primarily sells its products and services to other companies (B2B).
While the company's 2023 Form 10-K states that one customer accounted for approximately 17% of its consolidated revenues, the name of this major customer is not publicly disclosed in its regulatory filings. Therefore, specific named companies cannot be listed. However, based on the nature of Par Pacific's operations, its major B2B customers generally fall into the following categories:
- Wholesale Distributors and Fuel Marketers: These companies purchase refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel in bulk. They then distribute and sell these products to their own networks, which include other retailers, commercial fleets, government entities, and various industrial users.
- Airlines and Marine Operators: Customers directly purchasing jet fuel for aviation or bunker fuel for shipping and marine transportation fleets.
- Construction and Industrial Companies: Buyers of specialized products such as asphalt for road building, infrastructure projects, and other industrial fuels for their operational needs.
- Other Energy Companies: Businesses that utilize Par Pacific's logistics services, including its pipelines, terminals, and storage facilities, for the transportation and storage of crude oil and refined products.
Although Par Pacific primarily serves other businesses, it also operates a Retail segment that sells directly to individual consumers. Through its network of branded gasoline stations and convenience stores (including brands like '76', 'Circle K', 'Cenex', 'Hele', and 'Minit Stop'), it sells motor fuels and convenience store merchandise directly to the public.

The most clear emerging threat for Par Pacific (PARR) is the **accelerated global energy transition and decarbonization efforts**, which directly impacts the demand for the fossil fuels PARR refines and distributes. This threat is characterized by several interrelated and well-evidenced developments:
1. Rapid Adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs): The increasing sales and market penetration of electric vehicles globally, and particularly in key regions like Washington State (where PARR operates a refinery and retail network), directly erode demand for gasoline and diesel fuels. Policies such as California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule banning new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle sales by 2035, and similar trends and targets in other jurisdictions, indicate a significant long-term decline in traditional transportation fuel consumption.
2. Emergence and Growth of Renewable Fuels: The refining industry is experiencing a significant shift towards the production of renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs). Many competitors are actively investing in or converting existing refineries to produce these lower-carbon alternatives. As demand for and regulatory mandates around renewable fuels grow, PARR's traditional fossil fuel products could face diminished market share and profitability if the company does not adequately pivot its production capabilities.
3. Increasing Regulatory and Policy Pressure: Jurisdictions where PARR operates, such as Washington State and Hawaii, are at the forefront of implementing stringent environmental regulations, carbon pricing mechanisms, and clean fuel standards. For example, Washington's Clean Fuel Standard, which became effective in 2023, directly increases costs for high-carbon fuels and incentivizes lower-carbon alternatives. These policies increase operating costs for traditional fossil fuel production and distribution while simultaneously incentivizing alternatives, directly impacting PARR's refining and logistics segments.

Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (PARR) is positioned for future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years, driven by a combination of strategic initiatives, operational efficiencies, and market dynamics across its refining, logistics, and retail segments.
- Expansion into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Production: Par Pacific is actively progressing its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project in Hawaii, with financial contributions anticipated to begin in 2026. The company successfully closed the Hawaii Renewables joint venture with Mitsubishi and ENEOS in late October 2025, a strategic partnership expected to bolster its renewable energy initiatives and enhance market presence in the region. This venture includes approximately $30-40 million in growth guidance for 2025 to complete the Hawaii renewable hydrotreater project.
- Continued Operational Improvements and Increased Refining Throughput: The company has demonstrated a focus on maximizing efficiency and throughput in its refining segment. Par Pacific achieved a near-record throughput of 198,000 barrels per day in Q3 2025 and set a new record low for refining production costs at $6.13 per barrel. Specifically, the Hawaii refinery recorded a quarterly operational throughput record. Analysts anticipate that these operational improvements, coupled with growing demand from tight U.S. West Coast markets, will support stable margins and contribute to profit margin expansion.
- Growth in the Retail Segment: Par Pacific's retail segment has consistently shown strong performance, with quarterly same-store fuel revenue increasing by 1.8% and in-store revenue by 0.9% in Q3 2025 compared to the previous year. This growth is attributed to higher fuel margins, same-store sales growth, and effective cost control. The company also mentioned plans for strategic expansion within its retail development pipeline, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. This marks the third consecutive quarter of record last twelve months (LTM) retail adjusted EBITDA, which stands at $86 million.
- Optimization and Increased Utilization of the Logistics Segment: The Logistics segment achieved a record adjusted EBITDA of $37 million in Q3 2025, an increase of $7 million from the previous quarter. This improvement reflects a return to normal summer operations in Montana and Wyoming and higher system utilization in Hawaii, indicating a more efficient leveraging of existing logistics assets and recovery of volumes.
- Favorable Refining Market Conditions and Regulatory Support: Par Pacific has benefited from favorable market conditions, with product margins rallying due to tight fundamental supply and demand balances and geopolitical disruptions. The company also received a significant earnings boost of approximately $200 million from small refinery exemptions (SREs) for compliance periods between 2019 and 2024, contributing to strong adjusted EBITDA and net income. While the SREs provided a one-time boost for past periods, favorable refining market conditions and ongoing regulatory considerations can continue to impact future revenue and margins positively.
