Phillips 66 Cuts Debt and Returns Cash After Deal Collapse
Phillips 66 generated $7.25B in operating cash flow, cut total debt by $6.6B to $16.5B net, and returned $887M to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Marathon Petroleum posted $5.1B in net income and $8.5B EBITDA, but the proposed deal collapsed due to regulatory hurdles; a combined firm would have controlled about 25% of U.S. refining capacity, triggering antitrust scrutiny.
