percent ownership interest in APLNG. The following is a description of the guarantees with values calculated utilizing June 2025 exchange rates:•During the third quarter of 2016, we issued a guarantee to facilitate the withdrawal of our pro-rata portion of the funds in a project finance reserve account. We estimate the remaining term of this guarantee to be . Our maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $ million and may become payable if an enforcement action is commenced by the project finance lenders against APLNG. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of this guarantee was approximately $ million.
•In conjunction with our original purchase of an ownership interest in APLNG from Origin Energy Limited in October 2008, we agreed to reimburse Origin Energy Limited for our share of the existing contingent liability arising under guarantees of an existing obligation of APLNG to deliver natural gas under several sales agreements. The final guarantee expires in the fourth quarter of 2041. Our maximum potential liability for future payments, or cost of volume delivery, under these guarantees is estimated to be $ million ($ billion in the event of intentional or reckless breach) and would become payable if APLNG fails to meet its obligations under these agreements and the obligations cannot otherwise be mitigated. Future payments are considered unlikely, as the payments, or cost of volume delivery, would only be triggered if APLNG does not have enough natural gas to meet these sales commitments and if the co-venturers do not make necessary equity contributions into APLNG.
•We have guaranteed the performance of APLNG with regard to certain other contracts executed in connection with the project’s continued development. The guarantees have remaining terms of to years or the life of the venture. Our maximum potential amount of future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $ million and would become payable if APLNG does not perform. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $ million.
QatarEnergy LNG Guarantees
We have guaranteed our portion of certain fiscal and other joint venture obligations as a shareholder in NFE4 and NFS3. These guarantees have an approximate -year term with no maximum limit. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $ million.
Equatorial Guinea Guarantees
We have guaranteed payment obligations as a shareholder in both Equatorial Guinea LNG Operations, S.A., a fully owned subsidiary of Equatorial Guinea LNG Holdings Limited, and Alba Plant LLC with regard to certain agreements to process third-party gas. These guarantees have approximately remaining, and the maximum potential future payments related to these guarantees is approximately $ million. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $ million.
Other Guarantees
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $ million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased office buildings and guarantees of the residual value of corporate aircraft. These guarantees have remaining terms of one to and would become payable if certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts at the end of the lease or contract term, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities or as a result of nonperformance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties. At June 30, 2025, there was no liability recognized for these guarantees.

million. Those related to environmental issues have terms that are generally indefinite, and the maximum amounts of future payments are generally unlimited. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. See Note 9 for additional information about environmental liabilities. | | | | | | | | |

million at each of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next years. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.Litigation and Other Contingencies
We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including, but not limited to, matters involving oil and gas royalty and severance tax payments, gas measurement and valuation methods, contract disputes, environmental damages, climate change, personal injury and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty and tax underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties, claims of alleged environmental contamination and damages from historic operations and climate change. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required.
We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at June 30, 2025, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $ million (issued as direct bank letters of credit) related to various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, commercial activities and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business.
In 2007, the government of Venezuela expropriated ConocoPhillips’ interests in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy oil ventures, as well as the offshore Corocoro development project. In response, ConocoPhillips initiated international arbitration proceedings before the ICSID. In March 2019, an ICSID tribunal unanimously ordered the government of Venezuela to pay ConocoPhillips approximately $ billion (later reduced to $ billion) plus interest for the unlawful expropriation of the projects. On January 22, 2025, an ICSID annulment committee dismissed Venezuela’s application to annul the tribunal’s decision and upheld the $ billion award plus interest in full. Separate arbitrations before the ICC resulted in additional awards against Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) and of its affiliates, including an award for approximately $ billion plus interest, for the Hamaca and Petrozuata projects, and a $ million award, for the Corocoro project, plus interest. Cumulatively, as of June 30, 2025, the company has received approximately $ million in connection with the first ICC award. Collection actions for all awards are ongoing.
ConocoPhillips has ensured that all actions related to these arbitration awards meet all appropriate U.S. regulatory requirements, including those related to any applicable sanctions imposed by the U.S. against Venezuela.
Beginning in 2017, governmental and other entities in several states/territories in the U.S. have filed lawsuits against oil and gas companies, including ConocoPhillips, seeking compensatory damages and equitable relief to abate alleged climate change impacts. Additional lawsuits with similar allegations are expected to be filed. The legal and factual issues are unprecedented; therefore, there is significant uncertainty about the scope of the claims and alleged damages and any potential impact on the company’s financial condition. ConocoPhillips believes these lawsuits are factually and legally meritless and are an inappropriate vehicle to address the challenges associated with climate change and will vigorously defend against such lawsuits.

offshore platforms located near Carpinteria, California. This order was sent after the current owner of OCS Lease P-0166 relinquished the lease and abandoned the lease platforms and facilities. BSEE’s order to ConocoPhillips is premised on its connection to Phillips Petroleum Company, a legacy company of ConocoPhillips, which held a historical percent interest in this lease and operated these facilities but sold its interest approximately years ago. ConocoPhillips continues to evaluate its exposure in this matter.
In July 2021, a federal securities class action was filed against Concho Resources Inc. (Concho), certain of Concho’s officers, and ConocoPhillips as Concho’s successor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On October 21, 2021, the court issued an order appointing Utah Retirement Systems and the Construction Laborers Pension Trust for Southern California as lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs). On January 7, 2022, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint alleging that Concho made materially false and misleading statements regarding its business and operations in violation of the federal securities laws and seeking unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, equitable/injunctive relief and such other relief that may be deemed appropriate. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on March 8, 2022. On June 23, 2023, the court denied defendants’ motion as to most defendants including Concho/ConocoPhillips. On April 7, 2025, the court certified a class. We believe the allegations in the action are without merit and are vigorously defending this litigation.
ConocoPhillips is involved in pending disputes with commercial counterparties relating to the propriety of its force majeure notices following Winter Storm Uri in 2021. We believe these claims are without merit and are vigorously defending them.

Revenues from contracts outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical gas contracts at market prices, which qualify as derivatives accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and for which we have not elected NPNS. There is no significant difference in contractual terms or the policy for recognition of revenue from these contracts and those within the scope of ASC Topic 606.

million compared with $ million at December 31, 2024, and included both contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and those that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. We typically receive payment within 30 days or less (depending on the terms of the invoice) once delivery is made. Revenues that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical natural gas sales contracts at market prices for which we do not elect NPNS and are therefore accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815. There is little distinction in the nature of the customer or credit quality of trade receivables associated with natural gas sold under contracts for which NPNS has not been elected compared with trade receivables where NPNS has been elected.

percent and percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, is primarily due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rate for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, was percent and percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, is primarily due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions partly offset by a change to our valuation allowance in the current year and the recognition of a Malaysia tax benefit occurring in the prior year, both described below.
During the first quarter of 2025, our valuation allowance decreased $ million, relating to the expected utilization of previously unrecognized capital loss carryforwards due to our agreement to sell our interests in the Ursa and Europa fields, and the Ursa Oil Pipeline Company LLC to Shell Offshore Inc. and Shell Pipeline Company LP.
During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $ million tax benefit associated with a deepwater investment tax incentive for Malaysia Blocks J and G.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law in the United States. The impacts of the OBBBA are currently under review and will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements starting in the third quarter of 2025.
The Company has ongoing income tax audits in a number of jurisdictions. The government agents in charge of these audits regularly request additional time to complete audits, which we generally grant, and conversely occasionally close audits unpredictably. Within the next twelve months, we may have audit periods close that could significantly impact our total unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of such change is not estimable but could be significant when compared with our total unrecognized tax benefits.

At ConocoPhillips, we anticipate that commodity prices will continue to be cyclical and volatile, and our view is that a successful business strategy in the E&P industry must be resilient in lower price environments while also retaining upside during periods of higher prices. As such, we are unhedged, remain committed to our disciplined investment framework and continually monitor market fundamentals, including the impacts associated with geopolitical tensions and conflicts, global demand for our products, oil and gas inventory levels, governmental policies, tariffs, inflation and supply chain disruptions.
In the second quarter of 2025, the price of crude oil continued to decline due to multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical forces which slowed global oil demand growth concurrent with higher oil production from OPEC Plus and other major oil producing countries. We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment, including any impacts from tariffs, and the ongoing market volatility in the energy landscape and across global markets for implications to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The global energy industry continues to evolve. We believe ConocoPhillips plays an essential role in responsibly meeting the global demand for energy, while continuing to deliver competitive returns on and of capital and working to meet our previously established emissions-reduction targets. We call this our Triple Mandate, and it represents our commitment to create long-term value for stockholders. Our value proposition to deliver competitive returns to stockholders through price cycles is guided by our foundational principles which consist of maintaining balance sheet strength, providing peer-leading distributions, making disciplined investments, and demonstrating responsible and reliable ESG performance.

| Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
In November 2024, we completed our acquisition of Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon Oil). In the first half of 2025, we completed the asset integration of Marathon Oil and remain on track for more than $1 billion of synergies on a run-rate basis by year-end 2025 and over $1 billion of one-time benefits. These one-time benefits include $0.5 billion recognized previously upon close of the transaction related to the utilization of foreign tax credits, with the remainder consisting of net operating losses expected to be realized in future periods. In August 2025, we announced incremental cost reductions and margin enhancements of more than $1 billion anticipated on a run-rate basis by year-end 2026. See Note 3.
In conjunction with our acquisition of Marathon Oil, we communicated a disposition proceeds target of $2 billion across the portfolio. In August 2025, we announced an increase to this target for a total of $5 billion by year-end 2026. Through the second quarter of 2025, we have sold assets in the Lower 48 segment for proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion, including noncore assets in our Lower 48 segment sold in the first quarter of 2025 and the Ursa and Europa fields and Ursa Oil Pipeline Company LLC sold in the second quarter of 2025. In July 2025, we signed an agreement to divest assets in the Anadarko Basin for approximately $1.3 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. This transaction is expected to close at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025. See Note 3.
In April 2025, we entered into a nine-year agreement securing regasification capacity at the Dunkerque LNG terminal in France which includes regasification services for approximately 1.5 MTPA of LNG expected to begin in 2028 that provides additional access to the European natural gas market.
Additionally, in May 2025, we entered into a 15-year LNG sales agreement for approximately 0.3 MTPA into Asia starting in 2028.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law in the United States. The impacts of the OBBBA are currently under review and will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements starting in the third quarter of 2025, including an expected full-year 2025 cash tax benefit of approximately $0.5 billion, primarily due to an acceleration of tax depreciation.
In August 2025, we declared a third-quarter ordinary dividend of $0.78 per share.
Production was 2,391 MBOED in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 446 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2025 production increased by 72 MBOED or three percent from the same period a year ago.
Second-quarter 2025 production resulted in $3.5 billion of cash provided by operating activities. We returned $2.2 billion to shareholders, consisting of $1.2 billion through share repurchases and $1.0 billion through our ordinary dividend. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaling $5.7 billion and long-term investments in debt securities of $1.1 billion.
Also in the second quarter of 2025, we re-invested $3.3 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments, with over half of the expenditures related to flexible, short-cycle unconventional plays in the Lower 48 segment, where our production has access to both domestic and export markets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
Business Environment
Commodity prices are the most significant factor impacting our profitability and related returns on and of capital to our shareholders. Dynamics that could influence world energy markets and commodity prices include, but are not limited to, global economic health, supply or demand disruptions or fears thereof caused by civil unrest, global pandemics, military conflicts, actions taken by OPEC Plus and other major oil producing countries, environmental laws, tariffs, governmental policies and weather-related disruptions. Our strategy is to create value through price cycles by delivering on the financial, operational and ESG priorities that underpin our value proposition.
Our earnings and operating cash flows generally correlate with price levels for crude oil and natural gas, which are subject to factors external to the company and over which we have no control. The following graph depicts the trend in average benchmark prices for WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas:
Brent crude oil prices averaged $67.82 per barrel in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 20 percent compared with $84.94 per barrel in the second quarter of 2024. WTI at Cushing crude oil prices averaged $63.74 per barrel in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 21 percent compared with $80.57 per barrel in the second quarter of 2024. Oil prices were lower in the second quarter of 2025 due to higher global oil supplies and slower global economic and oil demand growth.
U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices averaged $3.44 per MMBTU in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 82 percent compared with $1.89 per MMBTU in the second quarter of 2024. U.S. Henry Hub prices improved due to stronger demand and lower inventory levels versus the same time last year. The risk of volatility in regional markers remains throughout 2025.
Our realized bitumen price averaged $39.43 per barrel in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 28 percent compared with $54.59 per barrel in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in the second quarter of 2025 was driven by falling WTI prices due to concerns over a slowdown in global trade and OPEC Plus increasing production targets, partly offset by strengthened WCS differentials due to additional egress capacity at the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion.
For the second quarter of 2025, our total average realized price was $45.77 per BOE, a decrease of 19 percent compared with $56.56 per BOE in the second quarter of 2024.

Total Company Production
We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs on a worldwide basis. In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, our operations were producing in the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Malaysia, Norway and Qatar.
Total production in the second quarter of 2025 was 2,391 MBOED, an increase of 446 MBOED or 23 percent from the same period a year ago. Total production in the six-month period of 2025 was 2,391 MBOED, an increase of 468 MBOED or 24 percent from the same period a year ago. Production increases include:
•New wells online in the Lower 48, Alaska, Australia, Canada, China, Libya, Malaysia and Norway.
•Our acquisition of Marathon Oil, which closed in November 2024. See Note 3. Production increases were partly offset by normal field decline.
After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2025 production increased by 72 MBOED or three percent from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, production in the six-month period of 2025 increased 96 MBOED or four percent from the same period a year ago.

The Asia Pacific segment has operations in China, Malaysia, Australia and commercial operations in China, Singapore and Japan. As of June 30, 2025, Asia Pacific contributed four percent of our consolidated liquids production and two percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Asia Pacific reported earnings of $330 million and $641 million for the three- and six-month periods of 2025, respectively, compared with earnings of $444 million and $956 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2024, respectively.
Earnings in the second quarter of 2025 included lower revenues resulting from lower realized prices of $79 million. Decreases to earnings included lower earnings from equity affiliates of $69 million, primarily due to lower LNG sales prices.
Earnings in the six-month period of 2025 included lower revenues resulting from lower realized prices of $121 million, partly offset by higher volumes of $28 million. Additional decreases to earnings included lower earnings from equity affiliates of $131 million, primarily due to lower LNG sales prices, the absence of a $76 million tax benefit associated with a deepwater investment tax incentive for Malaysia blocks J and G and higher exploration expenses of $37 million driven primarily by dry hole expenses associated with certain suspended wells. See Note 6 and Note 19. Consolidated Production
Average consolidated production increased two MBOED and four MBOED in the three- and six-month periods of 2025, respectively. Increases to production were primarily due to development activity in Bohai Bay in China and Gumusut in Malaysia.
Production increases were partly offset by normal field decline.

Net interest expense consists of interest and debt expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Net interest expense was impaired in the three- and six-month periods of 2025 due to higher interest expense of $54 million and $105 million, respectively, driven by our acquisition of Marathon Oil. See Note 3. Corporate G&A expenses include compensation programs and staff costs. Corporate G&A expenses increased $69 million and $74 million in the three- and six-month periods of 2025, primarily due to transaction and integration expenses associated with our acquisition of Marathon Oil and mark to market adjustments associated with certain compensation programs. See Note 3. Technology includes our investments in low-carbon and other new technologies or businesses and licensing revenues. Other new technologies or businesses and licensing activities are focused on both conventional and tight oil reservoirs, shale gas, oil sands, enhanced oil recovery, as well as LNG.
Other income (expense) includes certain consolidating tax-related items, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, other costs not directly associated with an operating segment, gains/losses on the early retirement of debt, holding gains or losses on equity securities and pension settlement expense. Other income (expense) was improved in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to a consolidating tax adjustment of $55 million.

*Capital includes total debt and total equity.
To meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, including cash generated from operating activities, our commercial paper and credit facility programs and our ability to sell securities using our shelf registration statement. During the first six months of 2025, the primary uses of our available cash were $6.7 billion to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $2.7 billion to repurchase common stock, $2.0 billion to pay the ordinary dividend, $0.8 billion to retire debt at maturity, partly offset by proceeds from noncore asset sales of $1.3 billion.
At June 30, 2025, we had total liquidity of $10.8 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 billion, short-term investments of $0.4 billion and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $5.5 billion. In addition, we have $1.1 billion of long-term investments in debt securities. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operating activities, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the “Significant Changes in Capital” section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, acquisitions, dividend payments and debt obligations.
Significant Changes in Capital
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $9.6 billion for the first six months of 2025, compared with $9.9 billion for the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease in cash is primarily due to changes in operational working capital, driven by tax payment timing partly offset by lower accounts receivable from lower commodity prices.
Our short-term and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent on the prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs. Prices and margins in our industry have historically been volatile, driven by market conditions beyond our control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level of absolute production volumes, as well as the product and location mix, is another significant factor impacting our cash flows. Future production is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the volatile crude oil and natural gas price environment, which may impact investment decisions; the effects of price changes on production sharing and variable-royalty contracts; acquisition and disposition of fields; field production decline rates; new technologies; operating efficiencies; timing of startups and major turnarounds; political instability; government regulations; impacts of a global pandemic; weather-related disruptions; and the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively monitor and manage these factors, changes in production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although we generally experience less variability in our cash flows due to changes in production levels than due to changes in commodity prices.

Investing Activities
For the first six months of 2025, we invested $6.7 billion in capital expenditures and investments. Our 2025 operating plan capital expenditures are currently expected to be $12.3 billion to $12.6 billion. Our 2024 capital expenditures and investments were $12.1 billion. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.
In the first six months of 2025, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by an increase in working capital changes associated with investing activities of $551 million, due to timing of invoice payments.
Proceeds from asset sales were $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2025 primarily from the sale of assets in our Lower 48 segment. In the second quarter of 2025, we closed our disposition of the Ursa and Europa fields, and Ursa Oil Pipeline Company for $0.7 billion. See Note 3.
In July 2025, we signed an agreement to divest Lower 48 assets in the Anadarko Basin for approximately $1.3 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. This transaction is expected to close at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025. See Note 3.
We invest in short-term and long-term investments as part of our cash investment strategy, the primary objective of which is to protect principal, maintain liquidity, and provide yield and total returns. These investments include time deposits, commercial paper, as well as debt securities classified as available for sale. Short-term funds needed to support our operating plan and provide resiliency to react to short-term price volatility are invested in highly liquid instruments with maturities of less than one year. Funds we consider available to maintain resiliency in longer-term price downturns and to capture opportunities outside a given operating plan may be invested in instruments with maturities of greater than one year. See Note 10. Investing activities in the first six months of 2025 included net purchases of $8 million of investments. We had net sales of $333 million of short-term investments and net purchases of $341 million of long-term investments. See Note 13. Financing Activities
In February 2025, we refinanced our revolving credit facility maintaining a total aggregate principal amount of $5.5 billion and extended the expiration to February 2030. The credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million or as support for our commercial paper program. With no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $5.5 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2025.
Our debt balance at June 30, 2025, was $23.5 billion compared with $24.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The current portion of debt, including future payments for finance leases, is $0.4 billion at June 30, 2025. In May 2025, the company retired $0.2 billion principal amount of our 3.35% Notes at maturity. In the first quarter of 2025, the company retired $0.5 billion principal amount of debt at maturity, consisting of $0.4 billion of our 2.4% Notes and $0.1 billion of our 8.2% Debentures. Debt payments are expected to be made using current cash balances and cash provided by operating activities.
The current long-term debt credit ratings are:
•Fitch: “A” with a “stable” outlook
•S&P: “A-” with a “stable” outlook
•Moody's: "A2" with a "stable" outlook
See Note 5 for additional information on debt and the revolving credit facility. Certain of our project-related contracts, commercial contracts and derivative instruments contain provisions requiring us to post collateral. Many of these contracts and instruments permit us to post either cash or letters of credit as collateral. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had direct bank letters of credit of $237 million and $278 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, we may be required to post additional letters of credit.
Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate number of various types of debt and equity securities.

Capital Requirements
We believe in delivering value to our shareholders through our return of capital framework. The framework is structured to deliver a compelling, growing ordinary dividend and through-cycle share repurchases. We anticipate returning greater than 30 percent of cash from operating activities through cycles.
In the first six months of 2025, we paid ordinary dividends of $1.56 per share and in the first six months of 2024, we paid ordinary dividends of $1.16 per share and VROC payments of $0.40 per share.
In August 2025, we declared an ordinary dividend of $0.78 per share, payable September 2, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2025.
In late 2016, we initiated our current share repurchase program. In October 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase from our prior authorization of $45 billion by a total of the lesser of $20 billion or the number of shares issued in our acquisition of Marathon Oil, such that the company is not to exceed $65 billion in aggregate purchases. Share repurchases are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. As of June 30, 2025, share repurchases since the inception of our current program totaled 461.3 million shares and $37.0 billion. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 28.7 million shares for a cost of $2.7 billion.

| Capital Resources and Liquidity | |
Legal and Tax Matters
We are subject to various lawsuits and claims, including, but not limited to, matters involving oil and gas royalty and severance tax payments, gas measurement and valuation methods, contract disputes, environmental damages, climate change, personal injury and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty and tax underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties, claims of alleged environmental contamination and damages from historic operations and climate change. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required.
Environmental
We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other companies in our industry. We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the U.S. EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain waste attributable to our past operations. As of June 30, 2025, there were 16 sites around the U.S. in which we were identified as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA and comparable state laws. For remediation activities in the U.S. and Canada, our consolidated balance sheet included total accrued environmental costs of $206 million at each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect upon our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
Continuing political and social attention to the issue of global climate change has resulted in a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction. These laws apply or could apply in countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws in this field continue to evolve and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, if enacted, could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Company Response to Climate-Related Risks
The objective of our Climate Risk Strategy is to manage climate-related risk, optimize opportunities and equip the company to respond to changes in key uncertainties, including government policies around the world, emissions reduction technologies, alternative energy technologies and changes in consumer trends. The strategy guides our choices around portfolio composition, emissions reductions, targets, incentives, emissions-related technology development, and our climate-related policy and finance sector engagement.
Our Climate Risk Strategy is intended to enable us to responsibly meet the global demand for energy, deliver competitive returns on and of capital and work to meet our previously established operational emissions-reduction targets. First, meeting global energy demand requires a focus on delivering production that will best compete in any energy demand scenario. This production will be delivered from resources with a competitive cost of supply and low GHG intensity, as well as portfolio diversity by market and asset type. Next, our focus is on delivering superior returns through the cycles based on our foundational principles of balance sheet strength, peer-leading distributions and disciplined investments. Finally, to drive accountability for the emissions that are within our ownership, we are progressing toward our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity targets.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, costs and plans, objectives of management for future operations, the anticipated benefits of our acquisition of Marathon Oil, the anticipated impact of our acquisition of Marathon Oil on the combined company’s business and future financial and operating results and the expected amount and timing of synergies from our acquisition of Marathon Oil are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements contained in this report include our expected production growth and outlook on the business environment generally, our expected capital budget and capital expenditures and discussions concerning development or replacement of reserves and future dividends. You can often identify our forward-looking statements by the words “ambition,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “effort,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions.
We based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about ourselves and the industries in which we operate in general. We caution you these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involve assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following:
•Effects of volatile commodity prices, including prolonged periods of low commodity prices, which may adversely impact our operating results and our ability to execute on our strategy and could result in recognition of impairment charges on our long-lived assets, leaseholds and nonconsolidated equity investments.
•Global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including changes as a result of any ongoing military conflict and the global response to such conflict; security threats on facilities and infrastructure; global health crises; the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing countries; or the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes.
•The potential for insufficient liquidity or other factors, such as those described herein, that could impact our ability to repurchase shares and declare and pay dividends, whether fixed or variable.
•Potential failures or delays in achieving expected reserve or production levels from existing and future oil and gas developments, including due to operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in predicting reserves and reservoir performance.
•Reductions in our reserve replacement rates, whether as a result of significant declines in commodity prices or otherwise.
•Unsuccessful exploratory drilling activities or the inability to obtain access to exploratory acreage.
•Failure to progress or complete announced and future development plans related to constructing, modifying or operating E&P and LNG facilities, or unexpected changes in costs, inflationary pressures or technical equipment related to such plans.
•Significant operational or investment changes imposed by legislative and regulatory initiatives and international agreements addressing environmental concerns, including initiatives addressing the impact of global climate change, such as limiting or reducing GHG emissions; regulations concerning hydraulic fracturing, methane emissions, flaring or water disposal; and prohibitions on commodity exports.
•Broader societal attention to and efforts to address climate change may cause substantial investment in and increased adoption of competing or alternative energy sources.
•Risks, uncertainties and high costs that may prevent us from successfully executing on our Climate Risk Strategy.
•Lack or inadequacy of, or disruptions in, reliable transportation for our crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs.
•Inability to timely obtain or maintain permits, including those necessary for construction, drilling and/or development, or inability to make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance with any necessary permits or applicable laws or regulations.

•Potential disruption or interruption of our operations and any resulting consequences due to accidents; extraordinary weather events; supply chain disruptions; civil unrest; political events; war; terrorism; cybersecurity threats or information technology failures, constraints or disruptions.
•Liability for remedial actions, including removal and reclamation obligations, under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation.
•Liability resulting from pending or future litigation or our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
•General domestic and international economic, political and diplomatic developments, including deterioration of international trade relationships; the imposition of trade restrictions or tariffs relating to commodities and material or products (such as aluminum and steel) used in the operation of our business; expropriation of assets; changes in governmental policies relating to commodity pricing, including the imposition of price caps; sanctions; or other adverse regulations or taxation policies.
•Competition and consolidation in the oil and gas E&P industry, including competition for sources of supply, services, personnel and equipment.
•Any limitations on our access to capital or increase in our cost of capital or insurance, including as a result of illiquidity, changes or uncertainty in domestic or international financial markets, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or investment sentiment.
•Challenges or delays to our execution of, or successful implementation of the acquisition of Marathon Oil or any future asset dispositions or acquisitions we elect to pursue; potential disruption of our operations, including the diversion of management time and attention; our inability to realize anticipated cost savings or capital expenditure reductions; difficulties integrating acquired businesses and technologies; or other unanticipated changes.
•Our inability to deploy the net proceeds from any asset dispositions that are pending or that we elect to undertake in the future in the manner and timeframe we anticipate, if at all.
•The operation, financing and management of risks of our joint ventures.
•The ability of our customers and other contractual counterparties to satisfy their obligations to us, including our ability to collect payments when due from the government of Venezuela or PDVSA.
•Uncertainty as to the long-term value of our common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2025, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. At June 30, 2025, with the participation of our management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of ConocoPhillips’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively at June 30, 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, we completed the final phase of a multi-year implementation of an updated global enterprise resource planning system (ERP). As a result, we made corresponding changes to our business processes and information systems, updating applicable internal controls over financial reporting where necessary.
Our assessment of, and conclusion on, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, did not include the internal controls of Marathon Oil Corporation, acquired in 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we began integrating Marathon Oil into our operations and internal control processes. As the integration progresses, we may modify or change certain processes and procedures which may result in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
ConocoPhillips has elected to use a $1 million threshold for disclosing certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party. ConocoPhillips believes proceedings under this threshold are not material to ConocoPhillips' business and financial condition. Applying this threshold, there are no such proceedings to disclose for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. See Note 9 for information regarding other legal and administrative proceedings. Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
