“Our company continues to perform extremely well, as all three of our segments delivered year-over-year improvements in contribution margin,” said Uzi Yemin, CEO of Delek Holdings. “In our refining segment, we were able to overcome challenges and still post strong operating results. Our refineries’ proximity to increasing supplies of crude oil continues to provide us access to higher volumes of cost advantaged WTI-linked crude oil.”
