Renewable Diesel Segment Revenue measures revenue generated by Valero's renewable-diesel and related low-carbon-fuels business, with external and intersegment sales kept separate.

Valero reported $2.508 billion of revenue from external customers in 2025 and $2.089 billion of intersegment revenue.

External plus intersegment revenue reconciles to $4.597 billion

The bridge is:

$2.508B external + $2.089B intersegment = $4.597B total segment revenue

External customers represented about 54.6% of segment revenue and intersegment activity about 45.4% before corporate eliminations.

External revenue itself is a three-product mix

Valero reported:

$2.073 billion renewable diesel
$138 million renewable naphtha
$297 million neat sustainable aviation fuel

Those components equal about 82.7%, 5.5%, and 11.8% of external segment revenue.

Intersegment revenue is not additional third-party demand

Intersegment activity is eliminated in consolidated revenue.

Use Renewable Diesel Margin and Renewable Diesel Operating Income for the profitability layers rather than interpreting the $4.597 billion segment total as external sales.

Where this concept fits

Renewable diesel capacity, sales volume, and margin conversionCurrent relationship
Production capacity defines potential physical output, sales volume is the period denominator Valero uses for unit economics, segment revenue preserves external and intersegment scope, and Renewable Diesel margin is reduced by operating expenses and depreciation and amortization to reach operating income or loss.
Renewable Diesel Margin Renewable Diesel Operating Income Renewable Diesel Production Capacity Renewable Diesel Sales VolumeRenewable Diesel Segment RevenueCurrent concept
Refining capacity, throughput, and per-barrel conversion
Feedstock throughput capacity sets physical scale, while utilization and throughput show realized activity and product yield shows output mix. Refining margin per barrel is reduced by operating costs and depreciation and amortization to reach adjusted operating income per barrel, while RVO cost adds a separate compliance-cost benchmark whose treatment in realized margin must be checked.

Ethanol capacity, production, and margin conversion
Production capacity defines the plant network's stated output capability and production volume measures realized output. Ethanol and co-product revenue feed an issuer-defined Ethanol margin, which is reduced by operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and specified other operating expenses to reach segment operating income.
