Over the five-year period, Valero’s financial statements reveal a significant turnaround from 2020’s losses to robust growth in subsequent years, followed by a notable downward adjustment in 2023 and 2024. In 2020, the company faced challenges with negative gross profit (–$230M), operating income (–$1579M), and net income (–$1421M). However, the rebound in 2021 is striking, with revenue climbing from $64,912M to $113,977M and gross profit turning positive at $3129M. This recovery accelerated in 2022, as revenue surged to $176,383M while gross profit jumped to $16,796M, operating income soared to $15,690M, and net income reached $11,528M—a dramatic improvement that indicates strong operational efficiencies and favorable market conditions in the downstream energy sector. Despite this robust recovery, the subsequent years show a marked contraction. Revenue fell by roughly 18% in 2023 to $144,766M and continued to decline to $129,881M in 2024. Corresponding declines were observed across other metrics: gross profit decreased by about 23% in 2023 and then experienced a sharp 63% drop in 2024 compared to 2022 levels, while operating and net incomes followed a similar downward trend. These swings—particularly the over 20% year-over-year declines in key profitability metrics—suggest a less favorable market environment or potential operational headwinds such as reduced refining margins or commodity price pressures. Overall, while Valero restored profitability from a challenging 2020, the subsequent declines raise questions about sustainability and require closer monitoring of market dynamics and company-specific strategic adjustments in an industry known for its cyclical nature.
