Vertex Energy’s first-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from smooth running of operations and attractive product yields at the Mobile refining facility (acquired in April 2022). Strong throughput volumes are likely to have driven the Mobile refinery operations in the to-be-reported quarter. The company expects the segment’s throughput volumes to be between 69,000 and 72,000 barrels per day in the first quarter.
Strong utilization at the Marrero and Columbus refineries is expected to have aided the Black Oil & Recovery segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Continued strength in global refined product demand, reduced capacity in global refining throughput and sub-par levels of domestic inventories of refined products, including gasoline and distillate, are expected to have supported margins in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
