In light of these results, CVR Energy has decided not to pay a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2025. However, its limited partnership, CVR Partners, announced a cash distribution of $2.26 per common unit.

Looking ahead, the company has set its sights on increasing jet fuel production and optimizing refinery operations in the second quarter of 2025. This strategic focus aims to enhance operational efficiency and potentially improve financial performance in the coming months.
