Continuation of the customs adjustment process initiated by the Tax Authority
The official assessments notified by the Tax Authority to the Refinery reflect the continued differences in regulatory interpretation between the Tax Authority and the Ecopetrol Group—an issue that the Refinery has detailed in its motions for reconsideration.
Considering that the Tax Authority has decided to apply its regulatory interpretation, Ecopetrol and the Refinery have been making VAT payments on gasoline and diesel imports at the 19% rate since January 2025. It is important to note that these VAT payments do not affect Ecopetrol's and the Refinery's rights to challenge the Tax Authority's interpretation at the appropriate time and before the relevant authorities.
Ecopetrol and the Refinery reaffirm their commitment to fully comply with their customs and tax obligations and will respect the decisions issued in this matter by the competent authorities, as stated on May 6, 2025 in a communication published through this medium.
Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA's shares, the Company participates in energy transmission, the management of real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in the United States (Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico), Brazil, and Mexico, and, through ISA and its subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds leading positions in the power transmission business in Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in Chile, and the telecommunications sector.

Phillips 66's Bayway refinery's gasoline unit at reduced rates after fire
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Phillips 66 has reduced gasoline output at its 258,000 barrel-per-day Bayway refinery in Linden, New Jersey after a fire near the plant's gasoline producing unit, two people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. An ancillary piece of equipment of the refinery's Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit caught fire and led to the production outage, the sources said. The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. The refinery is expected to resolve the issue over the coming days and return to full production, one of the sources said. Phillips 66 did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bayway produces around 155,000 barrels per day of gasoline and is one of the largest suppliers of fuel on the U.S. East Coast. The refinery was partially shut last month after rainstorms caused a power outage at the plant, resulting in a brief spike in prices for refined products at the New York Harbor as Phillips 66 made up for the outages by buying fuel on the open market.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature. Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
