You're looking at the customer base for Phillips 66 as of late 2025. This company serves a wide spectrum, from the individual filling up their car to major industrial partners relying on complex midstream infrastructure. Honestly, the retail footprint is shifting due to strategic moves, so you have to track those asset sales.

Individual consumers of gasoline and diesel at branded stations

This segment is served through the Marketing and Specialties business, primarily under the Phillips 66, Conoco, or 76 brands in the U.S. While the company has a strong historical footprint, a significant portfolio change is underway. As of a late 2025 report, Phillips 66 was executing the sale of $\mathbf{970}$ European retail sites, with the deal expected to close in the second half of 2025. Before this divestiture, the U.S. network was substantial; one 2025 estimate placed the total U.S. presence at $\mathbf{3,041}$ gas stations.

The geographic density is notable in the central U.S. For instance, Missouri reportedly held $\mathbf{607}$ locations, and Oklahoma had $\mathbf{415}$ locations, according to data from early 2025.

  • Approximately $\mathbf{7,450}$ branded sites were noted in the U.S. network in a prior report, though this number is being adjusted by the European sale.
  • Approximately $\mathbf{1,450}$ sites are covered by brand-licensing agreements, showing the reach beyond wholly-owned or directly operated sites.
  • The company markets retail products in Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom under the JET brand, though these are largely part of the pending divestiture.

Commercial and industrial fleets purchasing bulk fuels and SAF

This group relies on Phillips 66 Aviation, a top supplier of jet fuels and aviation gas to private, commercial, and military aviation customers. The push toward decarbonization also brings in a new set of commercial customers focused on lower-emission options. The company is actively serving this need through supply agreements.

A concrete example of this commercial engagement is the agreement signed in late 2024 to supply over $\mathbf{240,000}$ metric tons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to DHL Express.

Petrochemical manufacturers buying ethylene and polyolefins

This customer base is served through the company's 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem). These manufacturers purchase olefins and polyolefins, which are fundamental building blocks for plastics and other materials. CPChem operates cost-advantaged assets concentrated in North America and the Middle East.

To give you a sense of scale, in fiscal year 2024, the Chemicals Segment generated $\mathbf{\$863.00}$ Million in revenue. While utilization figures can fluctuate, CPChem reported $\mathbf{91\%}$ olefins and polyolefins utilization in 2022, indicating a high level of output to meet demand.

NGL producers utilizing Midstream transportation and fractionation services

The Midstream segment is critical here, providing transportation, storage, fractionation, gathering, and processing services for Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) and natural gas, largely in the United States. NGL producers use these services to get their product from the wellhead to market. The integration of DCP Midstream, LP, significantly bolstered this customer service offering.

The scale of the Midstream infrastructure directly serves these producers. As of April 2025, the company held $\mathbf{889,000}$ BPD of fractionation capacity. Furthermore, the network includes over $\mathbf{72,000}$ miles of U.S. pipeline systems and $\mathbf{4.8}$ billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) net natural gas processing capacity.

Agricultural and industrial users of specialty lubricants

This segment includes users of finished lubricants marketed under premium brands like Phillips 66, Kendall, and Red Line, as well as other private label brands. These products are essential for heavy equipment in agriculture and various industrial machinery. The company is a leading lubricants manufacturer in the U.S.

The production backbone for these specialty products involves joint ventures. For example, the Excel Paralubes joint venture has a facility capable of producing $\mathbf{22,200}$ BPD of high-quality Group II clear hydrocracked base oils, which are key inputs for finished lubricants.

Here's a quick look at the operational scale supporting these diverse customer segments as of the latest available data:

Segment Area Metric Value Date/Context
Individual Consumers (Retail) Estimated U.S. Branded Stations 3,041 2025 Estimate (Pre-H2 2025 European Sale)
Commercial/Industrial (Aviation) SAF Supply Commitment Over 240,000 metric tons To DHL Express (Signed late 2024)
Petrochemicals Chemicals Segment Revenue $863.00 Million Fiscal Year 2024
NGL Producers (Midstream) NGL Fractionation Capacity 889,000 BPD As of April 2025

Phillips 66 (PSX) - Canvas Business Model: Cost Structure

You're looking at the core expenditures that keep Phillips 66 running, which are heavily influenced by commodity markets and long-term capital commitments. Honestly, the biggest variable cost you see here is the price of the raw material itself.

High cost of crude oil and renewable feedstocks (variable costs)

The cost of crude oil and renewable feedstocks represents the largest component of the cost of goods sold for Phillips 66's refining and renewable fuels segments. While I don't have the precise 2025 average feedstock cost per barrel here, you know this line item fluctuates directly with global energy prices, which is the primary driver of profitability volatility. The company targets achieving an annual adjusted controllable cost of $5.50 per barrel in Refining, excluding adjusted turnaround expense.

Capital Expenditures and JV Commitments

Phillips 66 maintains a disciplined capital program, which includes significant spending on its own operations and its joint ventures. The total 2025 capital program, including the proportionate share of joint ventures like CPChem and WRB, is projected to be $3 billion.

Here's how that capital allocation breaks down for the core company budget:

  • Midstream capital budget: $975 million
  • Refining investment planned: $822 million
  • Sustaining capital planned (company-wide): $998 million
  • Growth capital planned (company-wide): $1.1 billion

The joint venture capital spending share (CPChem and WRB) is expected to total $877 million and be self-funded.

Operating Expenses for Maintenance and Turnarounds

Refinery maintenance and turnarounds are significant, lumpy operating expenses that impact quarterly results. For instance, in the second quarter of 2025, turnaround expenses dropped 47% from $53 million year-over-year. By the third quarter of 2025, turnaround expenses were about $36 million, a 74% drop compared to the $94 million incurred a year prior. These planned shutdowns are necessary to maintain asset reliability but create short-term cost spikes.

Debt Servicing Costs

Servicing the company's debt load is a fixed, ongoing cost. As of September 30, 2025, Phillips 66 reported total debt of $21.8 billion or $21.755 Billion, resulting in a Net Debt to Capital Ratio of 41%. The company has an explicit target to reduce total debt to $17 billion by 2027.

You can see the balance sheet structure influencing these costs:

Metric Amount as of Q3 2025 Source Context
Total Debt $21.8 billion As of September 30, 2025
Net Debt to Capital Ratio 41% As of Q3 2025
Cash and Equivalents $2.0 billion As of September 30, 2025

Regulatory Compliance and Decarbonization Costs

Costs tied to environmental compliance and the transition to lower-carbon fuels are an increasing part of the structure. For example, the planned idle of the Los Angeles Refinery contributed to higher environmental costs impacting refining segment income in Q3 2025. Furthermore, significant capital is directed toward decarbonization projects, such as the $1.3 billion investment to convert the Rodeo Refinery into a 50,000 b/d biofuel facility. Phillips 66 is also leveraging renewable power solutions to support regulatory compliance.

Phillips 66 (PSX) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams

You're looking at how Phillips 66 actually brings in the cash, which, honestly, is the whole point of the business model. As a seasoned analyst, I focus on the segment reporting because that's where the real numbers live, not just the high-level total revenue figure. For late 2025, we are grounding this in the full-year 2024 results, as the 2025 fiscal year data is still rolling in, but the TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) revenue as of September 30, 2025, was reported at $131.953B.

The revenue streams are heavily weighted toward the traditional downstream side, but the growth story is increasingly tied to the energy transition assets, like the renewable fuels complex. Here's the quick math on the major buckets from the last full reporting year, fiscal year 2024, which gives you a solid baseline for where the money came from.

Revenue Stream Category (Based on 2024 Segments) Reported Revenue (FY 2024) Percentage of Total Revenue (FY 2024)
Marketing And Specialties Segment $92.83 B 45.47%
Refining Segment $85.01 B 41.64%
Midstream Segment $19.65 B 9.63%
Renewable Fuels $5.57 B 2.73%
Chemicals Segment (CPChem Equity Share) $863.00 M 0.42%
Corporate and Other $236.00 M 0.12%

Let's break down what feeds those top-line numbers.

Sales of refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel)

This is the bread and butter, derived mainly from the Refining Segment revenue of $85.01 B in 2024. Phillips 66 is running a tight ship here; for example, in Q2 2024, the crude utilization rate hit 98%, the highest in five years. The Marketing and Specialties segment, which brought in $92.83 B in 2024, also captures a huge chunk of this, as it handles the distribution of these refined products. You see the impact of market dynamics clearly here; the 2024 total revenue of $143.12 B was down 2.81% from 2023, largely due to lower refined product prices.

Midstream fees for NGL transportation, processing, and storage

This stream is about contracted, fee-based stability, which management likes because it smooths out the volatility of the refining margins. The Midstream Segment generated $19.65 B in revenue in 2024. This includes the Transportation and NGL businesses, which saw adjusted pre-tax income of $1,346 million in 2024. They are actively bolstering this footprint, for instance, by announcing an agreement to acquire EPIC's NGL business to enhance their Permian and Gulf Coast presence.

Sales of chemicals (polyolefins, aromatics) from CPChem

This revenue comes from Phillips 66's 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The Chemicals segment reported revenue of $863.00 M in 2024. The income side shows the strength of this joint venture; in Q1 2024, adjusted pre-tax income for the segment was $205 million, driven by strong polyethylene margins. CPChem continues to invest in capacity, like the new world-scale 1-hexene unit at the Sweeny Hub.

Sales of renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

This is the future-facing revenue stream, anchored by the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex in California, which reached full processing rates in Q2 2024 and started SAF production in September 2024. The Renewable Fuels segment brought in $5.57 B in revenue in 2024. Production volumes are ramping up: Q1 2025 saw production of 44,000 barrels per day, up significantly from 9,000 barrels per day in Q1 2024. Still, this segment faces near-term policy uncertainty, reporting a $185 million loss before income taxes for Q1 2025.

Sales of specialty products, including lubricants and base oils

These revenues are bundled within the $92.83 B Marketing and Specialties Segment for 2024. While the segment is broad, it includes the sale of higher-value products like lubricants and base oils, which generally command better margins than commodity fuels. The segment's adjusted pre-tax income was $1,011 million in 2024, benefiting from higher realized margins in some areas, though litigation-related expenses were a drag.

The company is actively managing this portfolio, evidenced by the process to divest its retail marketing business in Germany and Austria to focus on core assets.
