Which business segments contributed most to the Sum of the Parts strategy and the profitability improvement?

Answer

The press release you quoted does not break out the performance of Delek U.S.’s individual business segments. It highlights the overall achievement of the company’s “Sum of the Parts” (SOP) goal—specifically that the firm hit its original $120 million EOP (earnings‑‑‑operating‑‑‑profit) target a quarter early—and notes that this has helped lift overall profitability. However, the release does not specify which of Delek U.S.’s operating units (e.g., refining, marketing, logistics, specialty chemicals, or other downstream businesses) were the primary drivers of that SOP success.

What this means for your question

  • We cannot identify the specific segment(s) that contributed most to the SOP strategy or the profitability improvement from the information provided.
  • The statement from President/CEO Avigal Soreq is a company‑wide comment, not a segment‑level analysis.

What you can do next

  1. Review the full earnings release (often posted on Delek U.S.’s investor‑relations website or on the SEC’s EDGAR system). The detailed filing typically includes a “Segment Results” table that shows revenue, operating income, and margin for each business line.
  2. Check the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) section of the 10‑Q filing for Q2 2025. Companies often explain which parts of the business are delivering the strongest SOP contributions—e.g., higher refining margins, improved marketing returns, or cost‑saving initiatives in logistics.
  3. Listen to the earnings call transcript (if available). Executives often answer analyst questions about the relative performance of each segment and may point out the “key contributors” to the SOP target.

Bottom line: Based solely on the brief Business Wire announcement, we can only confirm that the company as a whole met its SOP earnings goal early, but we lack the granularity needed to pinpoint the leading business segment(s). Accessing the full earnings report or the SEC filing will provide the detailed breakdown you need.
