CALGARY — Parkland Corp. says its second-quarter net earnings were up as the fuel refiner prepares for a takeover by U.S. company Sunoco LP.

The Calgary-based company says net earnings for the period ending June 30 were $172 million, up from $70 million a year ago.

Parkland says net earnings amounted to 97 cents per diluted share compared with 39 cents per diluted share a year earlier.

On an adjusted basis, the company says it earned $508 million, an increase from $504 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Chief executive Bob Espey says the firm’s Burnaby refinery helped deliver above mid-cycle refining margins, which reflect Parkland’s potential to grow as it merges with Sunoco.

The takeover is expected to be completed during the second half of this year.
