CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

General

The terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole. The term “DGD,” as used in this report, may refer to Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC, its wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, or both of them taken as a whole.

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of our results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these interim unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Accounting Pronouncement Adopted on January 1, 2024

ASU 2023-07

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments primarily through improved disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment related items. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2024 and it did not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures for our annual reporting periods beginning December 31, 2024 and interim reporting periods in 2025.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-09

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to improve annual income tax disclosures by requiring further disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of annual income tax disclosures. We expect to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025 and the adoption will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.

2.    UNCERTAINTY

In September 2022, California adopted Senate Bill No. 1322 (SB 1322), which requires refineries in California to report monthly on the volume and cost of the crude oil they buy, the quantity and price of the wholesale gasoline they sell, and the gross gasoline margin per barrel, among other information. The provisions of SB 1322 were effective January 2023.

In March 2023, California adopted Senate Bill No. 2 (such statute, together with any regulations contemplated or issued thereunder, SBx 1-2), which, among other things, (i) authorized the establishment of a maximum gross gasoline refining margin (max margin) and the imposition of a financial penalty for profits above a max margin, (ii) significantly expanded the reporting obligations under SB 1322 and the Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act of 1980, which include reporting requirements to the California Energy Commission (CEC) for all participants in the petroleum industry supply chain in California (e.g., refiners, marketers, importers, transporters, terminals, producers, renewables producers, pipelines, and ports), (iii) created the Division of Petroleum Market Oversight within the CEC to analyze the data provided under SBx 1-2, and (iv) authorized the CEC to regulate the timing and other aspects of refinery turnaround and maintenance activities in certain instances. SBx 1-2 imposes increased and substantial reporting requirements, which include daily, weekly, monthly, and annual reporting of detailed operational and financial data on all aspects of our operations in California, much of it at the transaction level. The operational data includes our plans for turnaround and maintenance activities at our two California refineries and the manner in which we expect to address the potential impacts on feedstock and product inventories in California as a result of such turnaround and maintenance activities. The provisions of SBx 1-2 became effective June 26, 2023.

In September 2023, Governor Newsom directed the CEC to immediately begin the regulatory processes concerning the potential imposition of a penalty for exceeding a max margin and the timing of refinery turnarounds and maintenance. Consequently, in October 2023, the CEC adopted an order instituting an informational proceeding on a max margin and penalty under SBx 1-2, as well as an order initiating rulemaking activity under SBx 1-2. The CEC indicated in a November 2023 workshop that the latter rulemaking process will be focused on rules relating to the timing of refinery maintenance and turnarounds, as well as the standardization of data collection and reporting. It remains uncertain as to what extent any regulations will address the remaining reporting requirements under SBx 1-2.

We continue to review and analyze the provisions of SBx 1-2 and the possible impacts to our refining and marketing operations in California. While the CEC has not yet established a max margin, imposed a financial penalty for profits above a max margin, or imposed restrictions on turnaround and maintenance

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

activities, the potential implementation of a financial penalty or of any restrictions or delays on our ability to undertake turnaround or maintenance activities creates uncertainty due to the potential adverse effects on us. Any adverse effects on our operations or financial performance in California could indicate that the carrying value of our assets in California is not recoverable, which would result in an impairment loss that could be material. In addition, if the circumstances that trigger an impairment loss result in a reduction in the estimated useful lives of the assets, we may be required to recognize an asset retirement obligation that could be material. Other jurisdictions are contemplating similarly focused legislation or actions.

The ultimate timing and impacts of SBx 1-2 and any other similarly focused legislation or actions are subject to considerable uncertainty due to a number of factors, including technological and economic feasibility, legal challenges, and potential changes in law, regulation, or policy, and it is not currently possible to predict the ultimate effects of these matters and developments on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

3.    INVENTORIES

6.    VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIEs

We consolidate a VIE when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2024, the significant consolidated VIEs included:

•DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc. that owns and operates two plants that process waste and renewable feedstocks (predominately animal fats, used cooking oils, vegetable oils, and inedible distillers corn oils) into renewable diesel and renewable naphtha; and

•Central Mexico Terminals, a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (IEnova), which is a Mexican company and indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a U.S. public company. We have terminaling agreements with Central Mexico Terminals that represent variable interests. We do not have an ownership interest in Central Mexico Terminals.

The assets of the consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle their own obligations and the creditors of the consolidated VIEs have no recourse to our other assets. We generally do not provide financial guarantees to the VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of the VIEs in support of their construction or acquisition activities, these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are impacted by the performance of the consolidated VIEs, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

The following tables present summarized balance sheet information for the significant assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs, which are included in our balance sheets (in millions):

Nonconsolidated VIEs

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These nonconsolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are accounted for as equity investments.

9.    REVENUES AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below under “Segment Information” disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of our financial statements.

Contract Balances

Contract balances were as follows (in millions):

	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Receivables from contracts with customers, included in receivables, net	$	6,788	$	7,209
Contract liabilities, included in accrued expenses	34		40

Remaining Performance Obligations

We have spot and term contracts with customers, the majority of which are spot contracts with no remaining performance obligations. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for our remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly uncertain. Therefore, as of March 31, 2024, we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.

Segment Information

We have three reportable segments—Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.

•The Refining segment includes the operations of our petroleum refineries, the associated activities to market our refined petroleum products, and the logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.

•The Renewable Diesel segment represents the operations of DGD, a consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 6, and the associated activities to market renewable diesel and renewable naphtha. The principal products manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment are renewable diesel and renewable naphtha. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the Refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.

15

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•The Ethanol segment includes the operations of our ethanol plants and the associated activities to market our ethanol and co-products. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the Refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.

Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

The following tables reflect information about our operating income, including a reconciliation to our consolidated income before income tax expense, by reportable segment (in millions):

10.    SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

In order to determine net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted by, among other things, changes in current assets and current liabilities as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
Receivables, net	$	257	$	2,381
Inventories	(356)		(641)
Prepaid expenses and other	86		(37)
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
Accounts payable	(130)		(2,269)
Accrued expenses	(163)		(61)
Taxes other than income taxes payable	(102)		(23)
Income taxes payable	248		116
Changes in current assets and current liabilities	$	(160)	$	(534)

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were primarily due to the following:

•The decrease in receivables was primarily due to a decrease in refined petroleum product sales volumes in March 2024 compared to December 2023, partially offset by an increase in related prices; and

•The increase in inventories was due to an increase in inventory volumes valued at higher unit prices in March 2024 compared to December 2023.

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to the following:

•The decrease in receivables was primarily due to a decrease in refined petroleum product sales volumes in March 2023 compared to December 2022;

•The increase in inventories was due to an increase in inventory volumes valued at higher unit prices in March 2023 compared to December 2022; and

•The decrease in accounts payable was due to a decrease in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased combined with a decrease in related prices in March 2023 compared to December 2022.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information (in millions) about our assets and liabilities recognized at their fair values in our balance sheets categorized according to the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by us to determine the fair values as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral assets or obligations as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented in the following tables on a gross basis. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross in our balance sheets.

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:

•Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in Note 12. These contracts are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Blending program obligations represent our liability for the purchase of compliance credits needed to satisfy our blending obligations under various government and regulatory blending programs, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), the Canada Clean Fuel Regulations, and similar programs in other jurisdictions in which we operate (collectively, the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs). The blending program obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

22

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.

•Investments in AFS debt securities consist primarily of commercial paper and U.S. government treasury bills and have maturities within one year. The securities categorized in Level 1 are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges and the securities categorized in Level 2 are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from independent pricing services. The amortized cost basis of the securities approximates fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses were de minimis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

•Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our foreign operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted foreign currency exchange rates and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments in AFS debt securities, receivables, payables, debt obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, commodity derivative contracts, and foreign currency contracts. The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and operating and finance lease obligations approximate their carrying amounts; the carrying value and fair value of debt is shown in the table below (in millions).

12.    PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 11), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.” The effect of these derivative instruments on our income and other comprehensive income (loss) is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of feedstocks (primarily crude oil, waste and renewable feedstocks, and corn), the products we produce, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that is periodically reviewed with our Board and/or relevant Board committee.

We primarily use commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and economic hedges. Our objectives for entering into each type of hedge is described below.

•Cash flow hedges – The objective of our cash flow hedges is to lock in the price of forecasted purchases and/or product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

•Economic hedges – Our objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and product inventories and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted purchases and/or product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of March 31, 2024, we had the following outstanding commodity derivative instruments that were used as cash flow hedges and economic hedges, as well as commodity derivative instruments related to the physical purchase of corn at a fixed price. The information presents the notional volume of outstanding contracts by type of instrument and year of maturity (volumes in thousands of barrels, except corn contracts that are presented in thousands of bushels).

	Notional Contract Volumes by Year of Maturity

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:
Refined petroleum products:
Futures – long	3,041
Futures – short	7,290
Derivatives designated as economic hedges:

Options – long	400
Options – short	400
Corn:
Futures – long	43,330
Futures – short	60,110
Physical contracts – long	15,514

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our foreign operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we often use foreign currency contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of March 31, 2024, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $615 million of U.S. dollars. Of these commitments, $405 million matured on or before April 19, 2024 and the remaining $210 million will mature by April 29, 2024.

Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. The Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs require us to blend a certain volume of renewable and low-carbon fuels into the petroleum-based transportation fuels we produce in, or import into, the respective jurisdiction to be consumed therein based on annual quotas. To the degree we are unable to blend at the required quotas, we must purchase compliance credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs)). The cost of meeting our credit obligations under the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs was $204 million and

25

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

$413 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following table provides information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions) and the line items in our balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 11 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 11, we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations. The following table, however, is presented on a gross asset and gross liability basis, which results in the reflection of certain assets in liability accounts and certain liabilities in asset accounts:

Market Risk

Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies that are periodically reviewed with our Board and/or relevant Board committee. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy. We do not require any collateral or other security to support derivative instruments into which we enter. We also do not have any derivative instruments that require us to maintain a minimum investment-grade credit rating.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK,” “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” include references to financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable); Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin; and capital investments attributable to Valero. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods, to help assess our cash flows, and because we believe they provide useful information as discussed further below. See the tables in note (c) beginning on page 41 for reconciliations of adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also in note (c), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information. See the table on page 46 for a reconciliation of capital investments attributable to Valero to its most directly comparable GAAP

financial measure. Beginning on page 45, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Business Operations Update

Our results for the first quarter of 2024 were favorably impacted by the continued strong worldwide demand for petroleum-based transportation fuels, while the worldwide supply of those products remained constrained. This global supply and demand imbalance contributed to strong refining margins for the first quarter of 2024.

The strong demand for our products and continued strength in refining margins were the primary contributors to us reporting $1.2 billion of net income attributable to Valero stockholders for the first quarter of 2024. Our operating results, including operating results by segment, are described in the following summary under “First Quarter Results,” and detailed descriptions can be found under “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” beginning on page 34.

Our operations generated $1.8 billion of cash during the first quarter of 2024. This cash, along with cash on hand, was used to make $661 million of capital investments in our business and return $1.4 billion to our stockholders through purchases of common stock for treasury and dividend payments. In addition, we reduced our outstanding debt during the first quarter of 2024 through the repayment of the $167 million outstanding principal balance of our 1.200 percent Senior Notes that matured on March 15, 2024. As a result of this and other activity, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $507 million, from $5.4 billion as of December 31, 2023 to $4.9 billion as of March 31, 2024. We had $10.0 billion in liquidity as of March 31, 2024. The components of our liquidity and descriptions of our cash flows, capital investments, and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” beginning on page 43.

First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2024, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.2 billion compared to $3.1 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease of $1.8 billion was primarily due to a decrease in operating income of $2.4 billion, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $527 million. The details of our operating income and adjusted operating income by segment and in total are reflected on the following page (in millions). Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustment reflected in the tables in note (c) beginning on page 41.

Total company:
Operating income	1,679		4,043		(2,364)
Adjusted operating income	1,713		4,053		(2,340)

While our operating income decreased by $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, adjusted operating income decreased by $2.3 billion primarily due to a $2.3 billion decrease in Refining segment adjusted operating income. This decrease in Refining segment adjusted operating income was primarily due to lower gasoline and distillate (primarily diesel) margins, a decline in crude oil and other feedstock differentials, and a decrease in throughput volumes, partially offset by lower operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense).

Outlook

Many uncertainties remain with respect to the supply and demand balances in petroleum-based products market worldwide. While it is difficult to predict future worldwide economic activity and its impact on product supply and demand, as well as any effect that the uncertainty described in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements or other political or regulatory developments may have on us, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the second quarter of 2024.

•Gasoline and diesel demand have returned to pre-pandemic levels and are expected to follow typical seasonal patterns. Jet fuel demand continues to improve and is approaching pre-pandemic levels in the U.S.

•Combined light product (gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) inventories in the U.S. and Europe remain below historical levels reflecting tight petroleum-based product balances, which should support continued high utilization of refining capacity.

•Crude oil differentials have increased, consistent with typical seasonal patterns; however, continued sour crude oil production cuts by OPEC+ suppliers, the start-up of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, and the return to high utilization of refining capacity following industry-wide refinery maintenance activity in the first quarter of 2024 may lead to a decline in such differentials. In addition, potential sanctions adjustments related to Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and conflict in the Middle East, including impacts on shipping routes and freight costs, could result in increased volatility in the crude oil market and potentially impact crude oil differentials.

•Renewable diesel demand is expected to remain consistent with current levels.

Total Company, Corporate, and Other

The following table includes selected financial data for the total company, corporate, and other for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Change
Revenues	$	31,759	$	36,439	$	(4,680)

Adjusted operating income (see note (c))	1,713		4,053		(2,340)
Income tax expense	353		880		(527)

Revenues decreased by $4.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to decreases in product prices for the petroleum-based transportation fuels associated with sales made by our Refining segment. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $2.4 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs. These changes resulted in a $2.4 billion decrease in operating income, from $4.0 billion in the first quarter of 2023 to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

Adjusted operating income decreased by $2.3 billion, from $4.1 billion in the first quarter of 2023 to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The components of this $2.3 billion decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analyses that follow.

Income tax expense decreased by $527 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of a decrease in income before income tax expense.

Refining Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Refining segment for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Change
Operating income	$	1,745	$	4,057	$	(2,312)
Adjusted operating income (see note (c))	1,750		4,067		(2,317)

Depreciation and amortization expense	600		572		28
Throughput volumes (thousand barrels per day) (see note (d))	2,760		2,930		(170)

Refining segment operating income decreased by $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (c), also decreased by $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. The components of this decrease in the adjusted results, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Refining segment margin decreased by $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices for the petroleum-based transportation fuels that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 36 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe impacted our Refining segment margin in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

The decrease in Refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $705 million.

◦A decrease in gasoline margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $577 million.

◦A decline in crude oil differentials had an unfavorable impact of approximately $275 million.

◦A decrease in throughput volumes of 170,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $218 million.

◦A decline in other feedstock differentials had an unfavorable impact of approximately $131 million.

•Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $77 million primarily due to a decrease in energy costs (primarily natural gas).

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Renewable Diesel segment for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Change
Operating income	$	190	$	205	$	(15)
Renewable Diesel margin (see note (c))	345		349		(4)
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense reflected below)	90		86		4
Depreciation and amortization expense	65		58		7
Sales volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (d))	3,729		2,988		741

Renewable Diesel segment operating income decreased by $15 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in Renewable Diesel segment margin of $4 million and a net increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense of $11 million.

Renewable Diesel segment margin is primarily affected by the price for the renewable diesel that we sell and the cost of the feedstocks that we process. The table on page 37 reflects market reference prices that we believe impacted our Renewable Diesel segment margin in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

The decrease in Renewable Diesel segment margin was primarily due to the following:

•A decrease in product prices, primarily renewable diesel, had an unfavorable impact of approximately $900 million.

•A decrease in the cost of the feedstocks that we process had a favorable impact of approximately $779 million.

•An increase in sales volumes of 741,000 gallons per day had a favorable impact of approximately $120 million. The higher sales volumes were due to the impact of additional volumes from the DGD Port Arthur plant, which started up in the fourth quarter of 2022 and was in the process of ramping up production rates in the first quarter of 2023.

39

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Ethanol segment for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Change
Operating income	$	10	$	39	$	(29)
Adjusted operating income (see note (c))	39		39		—
Ethanol margin (see note (c))	195		189		6
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense reflected below)	137		130		7
Depreciation and amortization expense	19		20		(1)
Production volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (d))	4,466		4,183		283

Ethanol segment operating income decreased by $29 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023; however, Ethanol segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (c), was the same for the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023. While there was an increase in Ethanol segment margin of $6 million, it was offset by a net increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense of $6 million.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices for the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 37 reflects market reference prices that we believe impacted our Ethanol segment margin in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

The increase in Ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:

•Lower corn prices had a favorable impact of approximately $314 million.

•An increase in production volumes of 283,000 gallons per day had a favorable impact of approximately $10 million.

•Lower ethanol prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $240 million.

•Lower prices for the co-products that we produce, primarily dry distillers grains and inedible distillers corn oils, had an unfavorable impact of approximately $78 million.

The following notes relate to references on pages 34 through 40.

(a)“Other income, net” includes a net gain of $11 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to the early retirement of $199 million aggregate principal amount of various series of our senior notes.

(b)The RVO cost represents the average market cost on a per barrel basis to comply with the RFS program. The RVO cost is calculated by multiplying (i) the average market price during the applicable period for the RINs associated with each class of renewable fuel (i.e., biomass-based diesel, cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel,

40

and total renewable fuel) by (ii) the quotas for the volume of each class of renewable fuel that must be blended into petroleum-based transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., as set or proposed by the EPA, on a percentage basis for each class of renewable fuel and adding together the results of each calculation.

(c)We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

Non-GAAP measures are as follows (in millions):

◦Refining margin is defined as Refining segment operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses, as reflected in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our Liquidity

Our liquidity consisted of the following as of March 31, 2024 (in millions):

Available capacity from our committed facilities (a):
Valero Revolver	$	3,997
Accounts receivable sales facility	1,300
Total available capacity	5,297

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, we used the $1.8 billion of cash generated by our operations, $1.4 billion in debt borrowings, and $507 million of cash on hand to make $637 million of investments in our business, repay $1.7 billion of debt and finance lease obligations, and return $1.4 billion to our stockholders through purchases of our common stock for treasury and dividend payments. The debt borrowings and repayments are described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $1.8 billion of cash in the first quarter of 2024, driven primarily by net income of $1.3 billion and noncash charges to income of $676 million, partially offset by an unfavorable change in working capital of $160 million. Noncash charges primarily included $695 million of depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $69 million deferred income tax benefit. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 10 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of the significant components of our net income.

Our investing activities of $637 million primarily consisted of $661 million in capital investments, as defined on the following page under “Capital Investments,” of which $78 million related to capital investments made by DGD.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

In the first quarter of 2023, we used the $3.2 billion of cash generated by our operations and the $914 million in debt borrowings to make $549 million of investments in our business, repay $1.2 billion of debt and finance lease obligations (including premiums paid on the early retirement of debt), return $1.8 billion to our stockholders through purchases of our common stock for treasury and dividend

44

payments, and increase our available cash on hand by $659 million. The debt borrowings and repayments are described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $3.2 billion of cash in the first quarter of 2023, driven primarily by net income of $3.1 billion and noncash charges to income of $558 million, partially offset by an unfavorable change in working capital of $534 million. Noncash charges primarily included $660 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $54 million of deferred income tax expense. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 10 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of the significant components of our net income.

Our investing activities of $549 million primarily consisted of $524 million in capital investments, of which $114 million related to capital investments made by DGD.

Our Capital Resources

Our material cash requirements as of March 31, 2024 primarily consisted of working capital requirements, capital investments, contractual obligations, and other matters, as described below. Our operations have historically generated positive cash flows to fulfill our working capital requirements and other uses of cash as discussed below.

Capital Investments

Capital investments are comprised of our capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures, as reflected in our statements of cash flows as shown on page 5. Capital investments exclude acquisitions, if any.

We have publicly announced GHG emissions reduction/displacement targets and a long-term ambition. We believe that our allocation of growth capital into low-carbon projects to date has been consistent with such targets and ambition. Certain low-carbon projects have been completed or are already in execution and the associated capital investments are included in our expected capital investments for 2024. Our capital investments in future years to achieve these targets and ambition are expected to include investments associated with certain low-carbon projects currently at various stages of progress, evaluation, or approval.

As previously disclosed, in January 2023, we announced that DGD approved a large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)1 project. We recently announced that the SAF project is progressing ahead of schedule and is now expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a total cost of $315 million, half of which is attributable to Valero.

Capital Investments Attributable to Valero

Capital investments attributable to Valero is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects our net share of capital investments and is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member and all of the capital expenditures of other consolidated VIEs.

1 DGD expects to produce synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK), a renewable blending component, using the Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) process. SPK is also commonly referred to as “SAF” or “neat SAF.” Current aviation regulations allow SPK to be blended up to 50 percent with conventional jet fuel for use in an aircraft. This blend is commonly referred to as “SAF” or “blended SAF.” This document refers to both SPK and blended SAF as SAF.

45

We are a 50 percent joint venture member in DGD and consolidate its financial statements, and DGD’s operations compose our Renewable Diesel segment. As a result, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities. DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of capital investments. We also exclude all of the capital expenditures of other VIEs that we consolidate because we do not operate those VIEs. See Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the VIEs that we consolidate. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.

Capital investments attributable to Valero should not be considered as an alternative to capital investments, which is the most comparable GAAP measure, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define it differently, which may diminish its utility.

The following table (in millions) reconciles our capital investments to capital investments attributable to Valero for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Reconciliation of capital investments to capital investments attributable to Valero
Capital expenditures (excluding VIEs)	$	128	$	175
Capital expenditures of VIEs:
DGD	69		90
Other VIEs	3		—
Deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures (excluding VIEs)	452		235
Deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures of DGD	9		24
Capital investments	661		524
Adjustments:
DGD’s capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member	(39)		(57)
Capital expenditures of other VIEs	(3)		—
Capital investments attributable to Valero	$	619	$	467

We have developed an extensive multi-year capital investment program, which we update and revise based on changing internal and external factors. As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we expect to incur approximately $2.0 billion for capital investments attributable to Valero during 2024. Approximately $1.6 billion of the expected capital investments attributable to Valero are for sustaining the business and the balance towards growth strategies, of which approximately half is allocated to expanding our low-carbon businesses.

46

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2024, our contractual obligations included debt obligations, interest payments related to debt obligations, operating lease liabilities, finance lease obligations, other long-term liabilities, and purchase obligations. In the ordinary course of business, we had debt-related activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stock Purchase Programs

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we purchased for treasury 6,633,843 of our shares for a total cost of $1.0 billion. See Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our stock purchase programs. As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.2 billion remaining available for purchase under the September 2023 Program. On February 22, 2024, our Board authorized us to purchase shares of our outstanding common stock for a total cost of up to $2.5 billion with no expiration date, which is in addition to the amount remaining under the September 2023 Program. We will continue to evaluate the timing of purchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under these programs.

Pension Plan Funding

As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we plan to contribute $113 million to our pension plans and $22 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during 2024. No significant contributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cash Held by Our Foreign Subsidiaries

As of March 31, 2024, $3.7 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries can be repatriated to us through dividends without any U.S. federal income tax consequences, but certain other taxes may apply, including, but not limited to, withholding taxes imposed by certain foreign jurisdictions, U.S. state income taxes, and U.S. federal income tax on foreign exchange gains. Therefore, there is a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our foreign subsidiaries to us.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by government authorities relating to, among other matters, the discharge of materials into the environment, climate, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG and other emissions, our facilities and operations, and characteristics and composition of many of our products. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future costs and expenditures required for environmental matters could increase.

Concentration of Customers

Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions, including the uncertainties concerning worldwide events causing volatility in the global crude oil markets. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

47

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies that involve critical accounting estimates disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

OTHER MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, the price of credits needed to comply with the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Programs, and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes to these market risks disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 12 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these market risks as of March 31, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no new proceedings required to be disclosed in this item under SEC regulations and no material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pursuant to SEC regulations, we use a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of certain environmental proceedings is required in this item. We believe any such proceedings less than this threshold are not material to our business and financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
