HOUSTON , Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CITGO Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO" or "CITGO Petroleum") today reported its 2025 third quarter financial and operational results. Improved refining margins and reliable operations led to third quarter net income of $167 million, EBITDA of $363 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $370 million, compared to net income of $100 million, EBITDA of $325 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $346 million for the second quarter of 2025.

"Our refineries performed reliably as market conditions improved during the quarter," said CITGO President and CEO Carlos Jordá.
