Key Takeaways
{\"0\":\"Par Pacific will report third-quarter earnings on Nov. 4, with EPS estimated at $2.21.\",\"1\":\"Refining income is expected to surge, driven by higher throughput and strong Hawaii margins.\",\"2\":\"Logistics unit may weigh on results amid cost pressures and limited volume growth in Wyoming.\"}
Par Pacific Holdings ((PARR - Free Report) ) is set to release third-quarter results on Nov. 4. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is earnings of $2.21 per share on revenues of $1.9 billion.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the integrated downstream operator’s results in the September quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at PARR’s previous-quarter performance first.
Highlights of Q2 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the Houston, TX-based energy company beat the consensus mark, backed by impressive refining segment results. PARR had reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.54, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents. Revenues of $1.9 billion also came in 17.2% above the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Par Pacific beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the last four quarters, and missed in the other. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third-quarter bottom line has been revised 33.9% upward in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 2,310% surge year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues, however, suggests a 10.9% decrease from the year-ago period.
Factors to Consider
Par Pacific’s refining business continues to be its strongest profit driver. In the second quarter of 2025, the company achieved a record throughput of 88,000 barrels per day at its Hawaii refinery, supported by steady operations and a low production cost of $4.18 per barrel. Overall, the Refining segment’s adjusted EBITDA surged to $108.4 million from a loss of $14 million in Q1.
Margin capture in Hawaii reached 125%, demonstrating strong execution and yield optimization. With the company guiding system-wide throughput of up to 205,000 barrels per day in the third quarter, refining margins might have remained a key upward catalyst for earnings. Consequently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for PARR’s third-quarter refining income is pegged at $133 million, implying a significant improvement from $20.1 million earned in the year-ago period.
But on a bearish note, margin pressure and cost headwinds in the Logistics unit might have played spoilsport. The segment delivered around $30 million in adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter, but this mostly represents a steady, mid-cycle performance with little growth momentum. Logistics volumes in Wyoming only began to improve after the refinery restart in April, and results still depend on seasonal demand trends. Higher maintenance costs, including a $4 million crude heater outage in Wyoming, also underline ongoing operational challenges. Any dip in refinery activity or regional fuel demand could pressure margins and limit the segment’s overall cash flow contribution. As per the Zacks Consensus Estimate, the segment’s adjusted EBITDA is expected to show a 11.4% decline over the third quarter of 2024 to $29.2 million.
