Alexa Petrick's questions to Calumet Inc (CLMT) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Alexa Petrick of Goldman Sachs inquired about the mid-cycle earnings outlook for Calumet's renewable diesel business amid the challenging regulatory environment and asked about the company's strategy for further debt reduction, including the role of potential future divestitures.
Answer
CEO Todd Borgmann addressed the questions, stating that mid-cycle renewable diesel margins of $1.50 per gallon could generate approximately $140-150 million in adjusted EBITDA for Montana Renewables. He identified regulatory clarity on the RVO and SREs as key catalysts for margin recovery. Regarding debt, Borgmann outlined a three-pronged approach: utilizing free cash flow, pursuing strategic asset sales, and ultimately completing the Montana Renewables monetization to reach their $800 million restricted group debt target.
