Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business—Our business consists of refining and marketing, retail marketing and pipeline transportation operations conducted primarily in the Midwest, Gulf Coast, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States, through subsidiaries, including Marathon Petroleum Company LP, Speedway LLC and its subsidiaries (“Speedway”) and MPLX LP and its subsidiaries (“MPLX”).
See Note 9 for additional information about our operations.
Basis of Presentation—All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update for the elimination of the concept of development stage entity (“DSE”) from U.S. GAAP and removes the related incremental reporting. The standards update eliminates the additional financial statement requirements specific to a DSE and was adopted in the first quarter of 2015. In addition, the portion to amend the consolidation model that eliminates the special provisions in the variable interest entity ("VIE") rules for assessing the sufficiency of the equity of a DSE is effective in the first quarter of 2016. Adoption of this standard update in the first quarter of 2015 and 2016 has not and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that redefines the criteria for determining discontinued operations and introduces new disclosures related to these disposals. The updated definition of a discontinued operation is the disposal of a component (or components) of an entity or the classification of a component (or components) of an entity as held for sale that represents a strategic shift for an entity and has (or will have) a major impact on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard requires disclosure of additional financial information for discontinued operations and individually material components not qualifying for discontinued operation presentation, as well as information regarding an entity’s continuing involvement with the discontinued operation. The accounting standards update was effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Adoption of this standards update in the first quarter of 2015 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Not Yet Adopted
In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update clarifying whether a customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as an acquisition of a software license or as a service arrangement by providing characteristics that a cloud computing arrangement must have in order to be accounted for as a software license acquisition. The change is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Retrospective or prospective application is allowed and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an update to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The update requires that all debt issue costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the liability. The change is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update making targeted changes to the current consolidation guidance. The new standard changes the way certain decisions are made related to substantive rights, related parties, and decision making fees when applying the VIE consolidation model and eliminates certain guidance for limited partnerships and similar entities under the voting interest consolidation model. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. At this point, we have not determined the impact of the new standards update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 
In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Management will be required to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt and the type of disclosure will be determined based on whether management’s plans will be able to alleviate the substantial doubt. The accounting standards update will be effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for revenue recognition that is aligned with the International Accounting Standards Board’s revenue recognition standard issued on the same day. The guidance in the update states that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Recognition of the revenue will involve a multiple step approach including identifying the contract, identifying the separate performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the price to the performance obligations and then recognizing the revenue as the obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures will be required to provide adequate information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of reported revenues and revenues expected to be recognized. The accounting standards update will be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with no early adoption permitted. At this point, we have not determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
MPLX LP
MPLX LP
MPLX LP
MPLX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed by us to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets related to the transportation and storage of crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products.
As of March 31, 2015, we owned a 71.5 percent interest in MPLX, including the two percent general partner interest. We consolidate this entity for financial reporting purposes since we have a controlling financial interest, and we record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public.
On March 1, 2014, we sold MPLX a 13 percent interest in MPLX Pipe Line Holdings LP (“Pipe Line Holdings”) for $310 million. MPLX financed this transaction with $40 million of cash on-hand and $270 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit facility.
On December 1, 2014, we sold and contributed interests in Pipe Line Holdings totaling 30.5 percent to MPLX for $600 million in cash and 2.9 million MPLX common units valued at $200 million. MPLX financed the cash portion of this transaction with $600 million of borrowings on its bank revolving credit facility.
The sales and contribution of our interests in Pipe Line Holdings to MPLX resulted in a change in our ownership in Pipe Line Holdings, but not a change in control. We accounted for them as transactions between entities under common control and did not record a gain or loss.
On December 8, 2014, MPLX completed a public offering of 3.5 million common units at a price to the public of $66.68 per common unit, for aggregate net proceeds of $221 million. MPLX used the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under its bank revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. On December 10, 2014, we exercised our right to maintain our two percent general partner interest in MPLX by purchasing 130 thousand general partner units for $9 million.
On February 12, 2015, MPLX completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of four percent unsecured senior notes due February 15, 2025 (the “MPLX Senior Notes”). See Note 16 for more information.
Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisition of Hess’ Retail Operations and Related Assets
On September 30, 2014, we acquired from Hess Corporation (“Hess”) all of Hess’ retail locations, transport operations and shipper history on various pipelines, including approximately 40,000 barrels per day on Colonial Pipeline for $2.82 billion. We refer to these assets as “Hess’ Retail Operations and Related Assets.” The transaction was funded with a combination of debt and available cash. The transaction provided for an adjustment for working capital, which was finalized for $3 million during the first quarter of 2015, reducing our total consideration. This amount is consistent with the estimate we used in prior periods and therefore, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed remain unchanged from year-end 2014.
The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $629 million in goodwill by our Speedway segment. The goodwill primarily relates to the expected benefits of a significantly expanded retail platform that should enable growth in new markets, as well as the potential for higher merchandise sales by utilizing Speedway’s marketing approach at the acquired locations. We also expect strategic benefits from the financial and operational scale we expect to realize across our entire retail network. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents consolidated results assuming Hess’ Retail Operations and Related Assets acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma financial information does not give effect to potential synergies that could result from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations.

The pro forma information includes adjustments to align accounting policies, an adjustment to depreciation expense to reflect the fair value of property, plant and equipment, increased amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets, additional interest expense related to financing the acquisition, as well as the related income tax effects.
Acquisition of Biodiesel Facility
On April 1, 2014, we purchased a biodiesel facility in Cincinnati, Ohio from Felda Iffco Sdn Bhd, Malaysia for $40 million. The plant currently produces biodiesel, glycerin and other by-products and has a capacity of approximately 60 million gallons per year.
Neither goodwill nor a gain from a bargain purchase was recognized in conjunction with the acquisition.
Assuming the acquisition had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.
Investments in Pipeline Companies
In July 2014, we exercised our option to acquire a 35 percent ownership interest in Enbridge Inc.’s Southern Access Extension pipeline (“SAX”) through our investment in Illinois Extension Pipeline Company, LLC (“Illinois Extension Pipeline”). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we made contributions of $37 million to Illinois Extension Pipeline to fund our portion of the construction costs for the SAX project. We have contributed $157 million since project inception. We account for our ownership interest in Illinois Extension Pipeline as an equity method investment. See Note 21 for information on future contributions to Illinois Extension Pipeline.
In March 2014, we acquired from Chevron Raven Ridge Pipe Line Company an additional seven percent interest in Explorer Pipeline Company (“Explorer”) for $77 million, bringing our ownership interest to 25 percent. As a result of this increase in our ownership, we now account for our investment in Explorer using the equity method of accounting rather than the cost method. The cumulative impact of the change was applied as an adjustment to 2014 retained earnings.
Variable Interest Entity
Variable Interest Entity
Variable Interest Entity
As stated in Note 4, we have a 35 percent ownership interest in Illinois Extension Pipeline through our contributions to the SAX project. Illinois Extension Pipeline Company LLC is considered a VIE because it is a development stage entity and the equity in the entity is not sufficient to fund the current stage of development, which is the construction of the SAX pipeline. Our maximum exposure to loss due to this VIE at March 31, 2015 was $157 million, which equates to our contributions to-date to fund our portion of the construction costs for the project.
We are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE and, therefore, do not consolidate it because we do not have the power to control the activities that significantly influence the economic activities of the entity. The activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance during the construction phase are the actual construction costs and risks associated with the construction process. Through our vote, we have shared power to direct the construction activities, but do not have the sole ability to control the construction activities.

Income per Common Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to MPC by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share assumes exercise of certain stock-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive. The number of shares that were anti-dilutive was immaterial in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities. Due to the presence of participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two-class method.

As of March 31, 2015, our board of directors had approved $8.0 billion in total share repurchase authorizations. Since January 1, 2012, we have repurchased a total of $6.48 billion of our common stock, leaving $1.52 billion available for repurchases. Through March 31, 2015, we have acquired 92 million shares at an average cost per share of $70.95 under these authorizations.
We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
Total share repurchases were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Segment Information
Segment Information
Segment Information
We have three reportable segments: Refining & Marketing; Speedway; and Pipeline Transportation. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.
Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States, purchases ethanol and refined products for resale and distributes refined products through various means, including barges, terminals and trucks that we own or operate. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to our Speedway segment and to independent entrepreneurs who operate Marathon® retail outlets.
Speedway – sells transportation fuels and convenience products in retail markets in the Midwest, East Coast and Southeast regions of the United States.
Pipeline Transportation – transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined products to wholesale and retail market areas. This segment includes the aggregated operations of MPLX.

On September 30, 2014, we acquired Hess’ Retail Operations and Related Assets, substantially all of which are part of the Speedway segment. Segment information for the periods prior to the acquisition do not include amounts for these operations. See Note 4.
Segment income represents income from operations attributable to the reportable segments. Corporate administrative expenses and costs related to certain non-operating assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. In addition, certain items that affect comparability (as determined by the chief operating decision maker) are not allocated to the reportable segments.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The combined federal, state and foreign income tax rate was 35 percent and 34 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is equivalent to or slightly less than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to certain permanent benefit differences, including the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state and local tax expense.
We are continuously undergoing examination of our income tax returns, which have been completed for our U.S. federal and state income tax returns through the 2009 and 2003 tax years, respectively. We had $15 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015. Pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with Marathon Oil, the unrecognized tax benefits related to pre-spinoff operations for which Marathon Oil was the taxpayer remain the responsibility of Marathon Oil and we have indemnified Marathon Oil accordingly. See Note 21 for indemnification information.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of inventories of crude oil and refinery feedstocks, refined products and merchandise is determined primarily under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded LIFO liquidations caused by permanently decreased levels in refined products inventory volumes. Cost of revenues increased and income from operations decreased by approximately $30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of the LIFO liquidations. There were no liquidations of LIFO inventories for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Included in construction in progress at March 31, 2015 is $136 million of costs associated with a residual fuel hydrocracker project at our Garyville refinery, intended to increase margins by upgrading residual fuel to ultra-low sulfur diesel and gas oil. We are deferring a final investment decision on this project as we further evaluate the implications of current market conditions on the project. If a decision is made to not pursue this project, there could be a future impairment of the costs incurred for the project.

(a) 
Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of March 31, 2015, cash collateral of $13 million was netted with the mark-to-market derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2014, $78 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative assets.
(b) 
We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.
(c) 
Includes $189 million and $174 million classified as current at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Commodity derivatives in Level 1 are exchange-traded contracts for crude oil and refined products measured at fair value with a market approach using the close-of-day settlement prices for the market. Commodity derivatives are covered under master netting agreements with an unconditional right to offset. Collateral deposits in futures commission merchant accounts covered by master netting agreements related to Level 1 commodity derivatives are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The contingent consideration represents the fair value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of the amount we expect to pay to BP related to the earnout provision associated with our 2013 acquisition of BP’s refinery in Texas City, Texas and related logistics and marketing assets. We refer to these assets as the “Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets.” The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using an income approach and is therefore a Level 3 liability. The amount of cash to be paid under the arrangement is based on both a market-based crack spread and refinery throughput volumes for the months during which the earnout applies, as well as established thresholds that cap the annual and total payment. The earnout payment cannot exceed $200 million per year for the first three years of the arrangement or $250 million per year for the last three years of the arrangement, with the total cumulative payment capped at $700 million over the six-year period commencing in 2014. Any excess or shortfall from the annual cap for a current year’s earnout calculation will not affect subsequent years’ calculations. The fair value calculation used significant unobservable inputs, including: (1) an estimate of monthly refinery throughput volumes; (2) a range of internal and external monthly crack spread forecasts from $9 to $18 per barrel; and (3) a range of risk-adjusted discount rates from five percent to 10 percent. An increase or decrease in crack spread forecasts or refinery throughput volume expectations may result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the fair value. Increases to the fair value as a result of increasing forecasts for both of these unobservable inputs, however, are limited as the earnout payment is subject to annual caps. An increase or decrease in the discount rate may result in a decrease or increase to the fair value, respectively. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed each quarter, with changes in fair value recorded in cost of revenues.
In 2015, we expect to pay BP approximately $189 million for the second year’s contingent earnout. We paid BP $180 million in the third quarter of 2014 for the first year’s contingent earnout.

(a) 
Excludes capital leases, however, includes amount classified as short-term debt.
Our current assets and liabilities include financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payables. We believe the carrying values of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the short-term duration of the instruments, (2) our investment-grade credit rating and (3) our historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.
Fair values of our financial assets included in investments and other financial assets and of our financial liabilities included in deferred credits and other liabilities are measured primarily using an income approach and most inputs are internally generated, which results in a Level 3 classification. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using a rate deemed appropriate to obtain the fair value. Other financial assets primarily consist of environmental remediation receivables. Deferred credits and other liabilities primarily consist of insurance liabilities and environmental remediation liabilities.
Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt is measured using a market approach, based upon the average of quotes from major financial institutions and a third-party service for our debt. Because these quotes cannot be independently verified to the market, they are considered Level 3 inputs. Fair value of variable-rate long-term debt approximates the carrying value.
Derivatives

Derivatives
For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 14. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil and (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products.

The $20 million gain on the termination of our interest rate swap agreements in 2012 is being amortized over the remaining life of the 3.50 percent senior notes.
MPLX Senior Notes – On February 12, 2015, MPLX completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of MPLX Senior Notes, the net proceeds of which were approximately $495 million, after deducting underwriting discounts. The net proceeds of this offering were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the MPLX revolving credit agreement (the “MPLX Credit Agreement”), as well as for general partnership purposes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2015.
There were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the MPC revolving credit facility or the trade receivables securitization facility at March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, eligible trade receivables supported available borrowings of $978 million under the $1.3 billion trade receivables facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, MPLX borrowed $30 million under the MPLX Credit Agreement at an average interest rate of 1.5 percent, per annum, and repaid $415 million of these borrowings. At March 31, 2015, MPLX had no borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the MPLX Credit Agreement, resulting in total unused loan availability of $1 billion, or 100 percent of the borrowing capacity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we made no contributions to our funded pension plans. We have no required funding for 2015, but may make voluntary contributions at our discretion. Current benefit payments related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans were $4 million and $5 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we determined that lump sum payments to employees retiring in the respective years will exceed the plans’ total service and interest costs for the year. Settlement losses are required to be recorded when lump sum payments exceed total service and interest costs. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded pension settlement expenses of $1 million and $64 million related to our lump sum payments made during the first three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which we have not recorded an accrued liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings and discovery. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.
Environmental matters—We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $177 million and $185 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties if any that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, was $66 million and $67 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
We are involved in a number of environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Lawsuits—In May 2007, the Kentucky attorney general filed a lawsuit against us and Marathon Oil in state court in Franklin County, Kentucky for alleged violations of Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The lawsuit alleges that we overcharged customers by $89 million during September and October 2005. The complaint seeks disgorgement of these sums, as well as penalties, under Kentucky’s emergency pricing and consumer protection laws. We are vigorously defending this litigation. We believe that this is the first lawsuit for damages and injunctive relief under the Kentucky emergency pricing laws to progress this far and it contains many novel issues. In May 2011, the Kentucky attorney general amended his complaint to include a request for immediate injunctive relief as well as unspecified damages and penalties related to our wholesale gasoline pricing in April and May 2011 under statewide price controls that were activated by the Kentucky governor on April 26, 2011 and which have since expired. The court denied the attorney general’s request for immediate injunctive relief, and the remainder of the 2011 claims likely will be resolved along with those dating from 2005. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably in its entirety, it could materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this litigation will have a material adverse effect.
We are a defendant in a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees—We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.
Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees—We hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, we are required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements vary but tend to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2037. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $172 million as of March 31, 2015.
We hold an interest in a refined products pipeline through our investment in Centennial, and have guaranteed our portion of the payment of Centennial’s principal, interest and prepayment costs, if applicable, under a Master Shelf Agreement, which is scheduled to expire in 2024. The guarantee arose in order for Centennial to obtain adequate financing. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under this agreement for debt principal totaled $37 million as of March 31, 2015.
Marathon Oil indemnifications—In conjunction with our spinoff from Marathon Oil, we have entered into arrangements with Marathon Oil providing indemnities and guarantees with recorded values of $2 million as of March 31, 2015, which consist of unrecognized tax benefits related to MPC, its consolidated subsidiaries and the refining, marketing and transportation business operations prior to our spinoff which are not already reflected in the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 11, and other contingent liabilities Marathon Oil may incur related to taxes. Furthermore, the separation and distribution agreement and other agreements with Marathon Oil to effect our spinoff provide for cross-indemnities between Marathon Oil and us. In general, Marathon Oil is required to indemnify us for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical oil and gas exploration and production operations, oil sands mining operations and integrated gas operations, and we are required to indemnify Marathon Oil for any liabilities relating to Marathon Oil’s historical refining, marketing and transportation operations. The terms of these indemnifications are indefinite and the amounts are not capped.

Other guarantees—We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $82 million as of March 31, 2015, which primarily consist of a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events, up to $50 million per event, in lieu of procuring insurance coverage and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.
General guarantees associated with dispositions – Over the years, we have sold various assets in the normal course of our business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require us to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. We are typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriate method for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.
Contractual commitments—At March 31, 2015, our contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and advance funds to equity method investees totaled $2.0 billion, which includes $520 million of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery and Related Assets, $703 million for contributions to North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC and $148 million for contributions to Illinois Extension Pipeline. See Note 4 for additional information on our investments in the SAX project. See Note 14 for additional information on the contingent consideration.

Subsequent Events

On April 29, 2015, our board of directors authorized the sale of its marine business to MPLX. Subject to the approval of the MPLX board of directors, the negotiation of a definitive agreement and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the next several months. Upon completion, we will account for this sale as a transaction between entities under common control and will not record a gain or loss.
On April 29, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, which will be distributed on June 10, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2015. The total number of authorized shares of common stock and common stock par value per share remain unchanged. The stock split will require retroactive restatement of all historical share and per share data beginning in the second quarter ending June 30, 2015. All share and per share data information included in this report are presented on a pre-split basis. The pro forma basic earnings per share on a post-split basis were $1.63 and $0.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively, and diluted earnings per share were $1.62 and $0.34 for the same time periods. The stock is expected to trade on a split-adjusted basis beginning June 11, 2015.

Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation (Policies)
These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of inventories of crude oil and refinery feedstocks, refined products and merchandise is determined primarily under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method.
Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of foreign-sourced crude oil and (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products.
The fair value of stock options granted to our employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, which employs various assumptions.
