On July 31, 2025, PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) released its earnings report for Q2 2025. The company reported a net loss of $5.2 million, an improvement from a $0.56 net loss per share in the previous year. Meanwhile, its adjusted net loss stood at $1.03 per share. The weak earnings were attributed to soft refining margins and ongoing challenges at the company’s Martinez refinery, which experienced a fire earlier this year. Although the refinery has partially resumed operations, a full restart is expected by year-end 2025. However, the company’s insurance recoveries of $250 million helped offset the loss.

Looking ahead, the company expects over $200 million in annualized savings by the end of the year, thanks to its Refinery Business Improvement initiative. Furthermore, PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) expects to complete the $175 million sale of its terminal assets in Q3, which falls under its portfolio optimization plans.
