Calumet reported strong revenue growth to $1.445 billion, but remained unprofitable with diluted EPS of negative $1.09. EPS improved sequentially from negative $3.64 but worsened year over year from negative $1.70, and current-period gross margin, operating margin and cash-flow data were not available in the supplied filing text. Material exposures remain tied to commodity prices and RIN costs, with a $1.00 RIN-price increase estimated to reduce annual net income by $65.0 million; management reported no material changes to previously disclosed risk factors.

Reported figures

What stood out
-
Revenue Rebounded Sharply
Revenue was $1.445 billion, up approximately 40.3% from $1.03 billion in Q1 2026 and from Q2 2025 based on the reported quarterly history.
-
Sequential EPS Improvement
Diluted EPS was negative $1.09, an improvement from negative $3.64 in Q1 2026 but a deterioration from negative $1.70 in Q2 2025.
-
Variable Debt Declined
Variable-rate debt declined to $18.3 million at June 30, 2026, from $94.6 million at December 31, 2025, reducing exposure to short-term interest-rate movements.
-
Liquidity Facility Available
The company had a $500.0 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026, supporting liquidity flexibility despite ongoing earnings volatility.
-
Controls Remained Effective
The filing states that disclosure controls were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2026, and that no material internal-control changes occurred during the quarter.
What to watch
-
RIN Cost Exposure
A $1.00 increase in RIN prices is estimated to reduce net income by approximately $65.0 million per year, creating material exposure to renewable-compliance credit costs.
-
Commodity Price Volatility
The company remains exposed to crude oil, refined products, renewable products, feedstocks, natural gas and precious-metals prices; derivatives do not eliminate all risk because the company states hedging costs can be too high relative to the exposure.
-
Interest-Rate and Risk Persistence
The company had $18.3 million of variable-rate debt at June 30, 2026, and a 100-basis-point interest-rate change would affect net income by approximately $0.2 million annually. The filing states there were no material changes to the risk factors in the 2025 Annual Report.
Management's outlook
No quantitative revenue or EPS guidance was provided in the available 10-Q text; outlook appears deferred to the earnings release or call.
