FINDLAY, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2015 - Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) today
reported 2015 third-quarter earnings of $948 million, or $1.76 per diluted
share, compared with $672 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the third
quarter of 2014. Third-quarter 2015 earnings include a $144 million pre-tax
impairment charge, or $0.17 per diluted share, related to the cancellation of
the ROUX project.

"Our results in the third quarter were driven by a solid performance across all
of our businesses," said Gary R. Heminger, MPC president and chief executive
officer. "We were able to capture strong crack spreads in a favorable refining
environment and we took advantage of our flexibility to move feedstocks and
refined products throughout our system to optimize profitability when regional
dislocations occurred." Heminger said lower fuel prices facilitated refined
product demand in the third quarter, further contributing to MPC's strong
results.

Heminger also highlighted strong performance in the quarter from Speedway, MPC's
retail subsidiary. "Speedway benefited from higher light-product margins, and
its peer-leading merchandise model drove higher profitability compared to last
year," Heminger said. "One year after its acquisition of its East Coast retail
assets, Speedway is significantly ahead of schedule in converting the acquired
stores, with nearly 1,000 of the 1,245 new locations converted to its brand and




operating system. These acquired locations are performing well and to date we
have captured more than double the expected synergies of $75 million."

"We continue to implement our strategy of growing the more stable cash-flow
segments of our business, and our sponsored master limited partnership MPLX LP
continues to be an important part of that strategy," added Heminger. "We look
forward to finalizing the combination of MPLX and MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P.
later this year."

Announced in mid-July, the combination will create one of the industry's largest
master limited partnerships (MLPs). "Through this transaction, we will combine
MarkWest's robust organic growth opportunities with MPC's large and growing $1.6
billion inventory of MLP-qualifying earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization," said Heminger. "This growth will also be
supported by MPC's and MPLX's strong financial position, creating a large-cap,
diversified MLP with an attractive distribution growth profile over an extended
period of time. The strategic combination will drive substantial long-term value
for the unitholders of both partnerships and MPC shareholders."

Heminger noted that at the time MPLX announced its combination with MarkWest,
the partnership provided distribution growth guidance through 2019. "MPLX
remains committed to the growth profile provided in that guidance," Heminger
said. "Given the significant change in MLP valuations and the resultant higher
yield environment the sector has experienced recently, we now expect dropdown
transactions or some form of MPC support as early as 2016."

Consistent with the previous guidance of a 25 percent compound annual
distribution growth rate for the combined entity through 2017, Heminger said
MPLX expects distribution growth of 25 percent in 2016.

"As we continue to focus on maximizing our shareholders' long-term returns, we
have continued our disciplined, balanced approach to investing in the business
and returning capital to our investors," said Heminger. He noted that an
important element of the company's capital discipline is to monitor market
conditions and ensure investments reflect the best long-term, risk-adjusted
returns to shareholders. In February, MPC announced it would defer the final
investment decision on its proposed ROUX project at its Garyville, La., refinery
in order to evaluate the implications of market conditions on the project.
"While we still believe the ROUX is an excellent project to enhance MPC's
platform, we constantly evaluate market conditions, and at this time we have
decided to cancel the project," Heminger said. "We will look to deploy this
capital on projects providing superior return prospects." As a result, the
company recorded a $144 million impairment charge in the third quarter to write
off the costs capitalized to date on the project, including front-end
engineering and long lead-time equipment.

Heminger also noted that MPC returned $327 million of capital to shareholders
during the quarter. The company purchased $156 million of its shares, and
approximately $3 billion remains under its total of $10 billion of share
repurchase authorizations. The company also paid dividends of $171 million. MPC
declared a $0.32 per share dividend, which was increased 28 percent last
quarter, resulting in a 31.5 percent compound annual growth rate since the
company became independent in June 2011.

"We continue our efforts to remain a leader in our industry through all cycles
by focusing on operational excellence and optimizing our refining system," said
Heminger. "We will continue to grow our stable cash flow through our retail and
midstream businesses, taking a disciplined approach to capital allocation and
delivering significant value to our shareholders through our sponsorship of
MPLX."

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations was $1.46 billion in the
third quarter of 2015, compared with $971 million in the third quarter of 2014.
The increase in the quarter's results compared to third quarter 2014 was
primarily due to a $2.72 per barrel increase in gross margin, resulting from
higher crack spreads, favorable effects on crude oil acquisition prices due to
changes in market structure and more favorable product price realizations
compared to the spot market reference prices. These increases were partially
offset by less favorable crude oil acquisition costs relative to benchmark Light
Louisiana Sweet crude oil, the effect of lower overall commodity prices on
volumetric gains and the price differential of charge and blend stock relative
to crude oil. The Chicago and Gulf Coast Light Louisiana Sweet 6-3-2-1 blended
crack spread increased from $8.70 per barrel in the third quarter of 2014 to
$12.18 per barrel in the third quarter of 2015.

Speedway

Speedway segment income from operations was $243 million in the third quarter of
2015, compared with $119 million in the third quarter of 2014. This increase was
primarily the result of the addition of the newly acquired locations as well as
higher light product and merchandise margins from the legacy stores, partially
offset by higher operating and other expenses. Speedway's consolidated light
product margin increased to 21.46 cents per gallon in the third quarter of
2015, from 15.96 cents per gallon in the third quarter of 2014.

Pipeline Transportation

Pipeline Transportation segment income from operations, which includes all of
MPLX's operations, was $72 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with
$69 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to
higher pipeline transportation revenue reflecting higher average tariff rates
and crude and light product throughput, partially offset by increased operating
expenses and cost incurred in connection with the proposed MarkWest transaction.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Corporate and other unallocated expenses of $77 million in the third quarter of
2015 were consistent with the third quarter of 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, MPC recorded pretax pension settlement
expenses of $2 million resulting from the level of employee lump-sum retirement
distributions occurring during the quarter, compared with $21 million of pretax
pension settlement expenses in the third quarter of 2014.

Unallocated items also included the $144 million impairment charge recorded in
the third quarter of 2015 related to the cancellation of the ROUX project. The
charge reflects the write-off of costs capitalized to date on the project,
including front-end engineering and long lead-time equipment.

Strong Financial Position and Liquidity

On Sept. 30, the company had $2.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, an
unused $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement and approximately $800 million of
availability on its undrawn $1.3 billion trade receivables securitization
facility. Availability under the trade receivables facility is a function of
eligible accounts receivable, which will be lower in a sustained lower refined
product price environment. Given the current refined product price environment,
the company has lowered the notional amount of the facility to $1 billion. The
company's liquidity should provide it with sufficient flexibility to meet its
day-to-day operational needs and continue its balanced approach to investing in
the business and returning capital to shareholders.

a. Segment EBITDA represents segment earnings before interest and financing
costs, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization
expense. Segment EBITDA is used by some investors and analysts to analyze
and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. Segment EBITDA
should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to
MPC, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any
other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Segment
EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
entities.
b. Reflects an impairment charge of $144 million resulting from the
cancellation of the ROUX project for the three and nine months ended Sept.
30, 2015.
