Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Business

Maximize Returns to Investors

Focusing on improvements in Environmental, Health and Safety Maters - Safety is Job #1

Consolidated total recordable incident rate (TRIR) declined 63% in 2022 compared to 2021. Petroleum Segment and Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment achieved 20% and 86% reductions, respectively, in TRIR in 2022 vs. 2021.

Concentrating capital spending on projects that are critical to safe, reliable operations, with growth projects limited to renewables and high-return projects in refining

Growth capital spending focused on renewables and high-return projects in refining (i.e. Diesel Yield Optimization and Wynnewood HF Acid Replacement). Coffeyville Refinery turnaround completed in early April 2023 and next turnaround is planned for Wynnewood in 2024. No turnarounds planned at fertilizer facilities until 2025.

Positioned to take advantage of strong market conditions and potential near-term opportunities

Preserving our strong balance sheet with total liquidity position of $1.05B(1) excluding CVR Partners at the end of 3Q 2023. Increased liquidity position by approximately 55% from year end 2022.

Leveraging our strategic location and proprietary gathering system to deliver high value neat crude oils to our refineries

Gathering volumes in 3Q 2023 averaged approx. 150,000 bpd, an increase of over 20,000 bpd from 3Q 2022. Working to further increase volumes and reduce purchases of Cushing WTI. Transportation and product yield advantages from gathered crude oil typically $0.50 - $1.00 per bbl relative to Cushing WTI.

Participating in the energy transition through the production of renewables and reducing the carbon footprint of our operations while reducing our exposure to Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs)

Wynnewood renewable diesel unit (RDU) completed in April 2022. Pretreatment unit (PTU) mechanically complete and expected to begin operations in 1Q 2024. Carbon capture and sequestration activities continuing at Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility.

Focusing on free cash flow generation to maximize cash returns to investors

Over the past four quarters CVR Energy's regular and special dividends have totaled $4.50 per share, and CVR Partners' distributions have totaled $26.62 per common unit. CVR Energy's annualized dividend yield of 6.3%(2) is the highest among the

independent refiners.

(1)	Total liquidity as of September 30, 2023 comprised of $800MM of cash and availability under the CVR Refining ABL of $251MM.	4
(2)	As of 11/28/2023 closing price. Peer group includes: Delek US Holdings, HF Sinclair, Marathon Petroleum, Par Pacific , PBF Energy, Phillips 66 and Valero.

Capital Allocation Strategy

Key Priorities:

• Create long-term value through safe, reliable operations and continuously optimizing core refining, renewables, fertilizer and associated logistics assets;
• Invest in high return projects that are complimentary to existing assets and improve feedstock supply or improve capture rate and product placement;
• Provide above average cash returns to investors through dividends/distributions and buybacks when value added; and
• Protect the balance sheet by maintaining appropriate liquidity, reducing cost of capital and optimizing capital structure.

Non-Discretionary Asset Continuity

Safety, reliability and environmental

compliance are core to CVR's management philosophy

• Approximately $100MM in annual sustaining and regulatory capex, allocated to assets through a continuous assessment process.
• Run-rateannual refining turnaround investment of $75MM over a five-year cycle to maximize asset utilization and reduce downtime exposure.

Discretionary Investment

Strategically invest in asset development and businesses that diversify and enhance core assets

• 30% target IRR for traditional refining organic projects.
• 20% target IRR for renewables-focused investments as these assets typically garner higher multiples.
• Evaluate merger and acquisition activity as opportunities arise that diversify market exposure or offer significant synergy.

Financial Discipline & Investor Returns

Maintain an attractive investment profile by focusing on free cash flow generation for cash returns to stockholders

• Target an above average cash return yield for stockholders and unitholders.
• Repurchase stock/units/debt only when value added.
• Divest non-core or non-revenue generating assets.
• Ensure adequate liquidity to operate the business while returning or investing excess cash.
• Maintain debt levels and capital structure profile in line with or exceeding peer group.

CVR Energy declared a special dividend of $1.50 per share and a regular dividend of $0.50 per share for 3Q 2023.

Over the past four quarters regular and special dividends have totaled $4.50 per share.
