NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Corporation's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Corporation, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Prior data has been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the current presentation basis.

The Corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method.

Note 2. Russia

In response to Russia’s military action in Ukraine, the Corporation announced in early 2022 that it planned to discontinue operations on the Sakhalin-1 project (“Sakhalin”) and develop steps to exit the venture. In light of this, an impairment assessment was conducted, and management determined that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. As a result, the Corporation’s first-quarter 2022 earnings included after-tax charges of $3.4 billion largely representing the full impairment of its operations related to Sakhalin. On a before-tax basis, the charges amounted to $4.6 billion, substantially all of which is reflected in the line captioned “Depreciation and depletion (includes impairments)” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Effective October 14, 2022 the Russian government unilaterally terminated the Corporation’s interests in Sakhalin, transferring operations to a Russian operator. The Corporation’s fourth-quarter 2022 results included an after-tax benefit of $1.1 billion largely reflecting the impact of the expropriation on the company’s various obligations related to Sakhalin. The Corporation's exit from the project resulted in approximately 150 million oil-equivalent barrels no longer qualifying as proved reserves at year-end 2022.

Note 3. Litigation and Other Contingencies

Litigation

A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters, as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed.

State and local governments and other entities in various jurisdictions across the United States and its territories have filed a number of legal proceedings against several oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, requesting unprecedented legal and equitable relief for various alleged injuries purportedly connected to climate change. These lawsuits assert a variety of novel, untested claims under statutory and common law. Additional such lawsuits may be filed. We believe the legal and factual theories set forth in these proceedings are meritless and represent an inappropriate attempt to use the court system to usurp the proper role of policymakers in addressing the societal challenges of climate change.

Local governments in Louisiana have filed unprecedented legal proceedings against a number of oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, requesting compensation for the restoration of coastal marshes in the state. We believe the factual and legal theories set forth in these proceedings are meritless.

While the outcome of any litigation can be unpredictable, we believe the likelihood is remote that the ultimate outcomes of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole. We will continue to defend vigorously against these claims.

Other Contingencies

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at June 30, 2023, for guarantees relating to notes, loans and performance under contracts. Where guarantees for environmental remediation and other similar matters do not include a stated cap, the amounts reflect management’s estimate of the maximum potential exposure. Where it is not possible to make a reasonable estimation of the maximum potential amount of future payments, future performance is expected to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

(1) ExxonMobil share

The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights; sanctions and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Corporation had $698 million and $1,494 million of collateral under master netting arrangements not offset against the derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily related to initial margin requirements.

The Corporation may use non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign currency-denominated debt, as hedges of its net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Under this method, the change in the carrying value of the financial instruments due to foreign exchange fluctuations is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation has designated $4.9 billion of its Euro-denominated debt and related accrued interest as a net investment hedge of its European business. The net investment hedge is deemed to be perfectly effective.

The Corporation had undrawn short-term committed lines of credit of $545 million and undrawn long-term committed lines of credit of $928 million as of second quarter 2023.

Derivative Instruments

The Corporation’s size, strong capital structure, geographic diversity, and the complementary nature of its business segments reduce the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the Corporation uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income on a net basis in the line “Sales and other operating revenue". The Corporation’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting. At times, the Corporation also enters into currency and interest rate derivatives, none of which are material to the Corporation’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, or results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Credit risk associated with the Corporation’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The Corporation maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting, and monitoring of derivative activity.

The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was as follows:




(millions)	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022

Trade receivables in Notes and accounts receivable – net reported on the Balance Sheet also includes both receivables within the scope of ASC 606 and those outside the scope of ASC 606. Revenue and receivables outside the scope of ASC 606 primarily relate to physically settled commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives. Contractual terms, credit quality, and type of customer are generally similar between those revenues and receivables within the scope of ASC 606 and those outside it.

Note 9. Divestment Activities

Through June 30, 2023, the Corporation realized proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion from its divestment activities in 2023 with negligible impact on net after-tax earnings. This included the sale of the Aera Energy joint venture, the Billings Refinery, certain unconventional assets in the United States, as well as other smaller divestments.

In January 2023, the Corporation executed an agreement with Bangchak Corporation to sell its interest in Esso Thailand Ltd. that includes the Sriracha Refinery, select distribution terminals, and a network of retail stations. The transaction is anticipated to close in third quarter 2023.

In 2022, the Corporation realized proceeds of approximately $5 billion and recognized net after-tax earnings of approximately $0.4 billion from its divestment activities. This included the sale of certain unproved assets in Romania and unconventional assets in Canada and the United States, as well as other smaller divestments.

In November 2022, the Corporation executed an agreement for the sale of the Santa Ynez Unit and associated assets in California. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent and government approvals and does not yet meet held-for-sale criteria under ASC 360. Should the conditions precedent be met and the potential transaction close, the Corporation would expect to recognize a loss of up to $2 billion.

In February 2022, the Corporation signed an agreement with Seplat Energy Offshore Limited for the sale of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent and government approvals. In mid-2022, a Nigerian court issued an order to halt transition activities and enter into arbitration with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. The closing date and any loss on sale will depend on resolution of these matters.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On July 13, 2023, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire Denbury Inc., a developer of carbon capture, utilization and storage solutions and enhanced oil recovery in exchange for ExxonMobil common stock. Based on the July 12 closing price for ExxonMobil shares, and at a fixed exchange rate of 0.84 per Denbury share, the transaction value was $4.9 billion. The number of shares issuable in connection with the transaction would have been approximately 45 million. The transaction is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition to carbon capture and storage assets, the acquisition includes Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain oil and natural gas operations which consist of proved reserves totaling over 200 million barrels of oil equivalent, with 47 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day of current production.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

During the first quarter of 2023, the price of crude oil declined towards the average of the 10-year range (2010-2019), impacted by higher inventory levels. Crude oil prices were relatively flat in the second quarter after OPEC+ oil producers further reduced oil output, which helped offset concerns over potential market impacts from a weakening global economy. Natural gas prices remained above the 10-year average despite declining significantly in the first half. Storage levels increased above historical averages in the United States and Europe on higher supply and lower demand. Refining margins declined on easing supply concerns with stabilization of Russian supply, yet remain above the 10-year average. Chemical margins remained well below the 10-year range due to continued bottom-of-cycle conditions in Asia Pacific; however, global margins improved in the second quarter on lower feed costs.

The Corporation’s first half results included after-tax charges of $0.2 billion related to additional European taxes imposed on the energy sector, mainly reflected in the line “Income tax expense (benefit).” The enactment of regulations in late 2022 by European Member States and other countries imposed mandatory taxes on certain companies active in the crude petroleum, coal, natural gas, and refinery sectors.

Denbury Acquisition

On July 13, 2023, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Denbury Inc. The acquisition further accelerates the Corporation’s Low Carbon Solutions opportunities. See Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

FUNCTIONAL EARNINGS SUMMARY

Earnings (loss) excluding Identified Items (non-GAAP) are earnings (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with, typically, an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $250 million in a given quarter. The earnings (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment may be less than $250 million when the item impacts several periods or several segments. Earnings (loss) excluding Identified Items does include non-operational earnings events or impacts that are generally below the $250 million threshold utilized for Identified Items. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events from business results. The Corporation believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Earnings (loss) excluding Identified Items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to ExxonMobil as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

ExxonMobil’s second-quarter 2023 earnings were $7.9 billion, or $1.94 per share assuming dilution, compared with earnings of $17.9 billion a year earlier. The decrease in earnings was driven by lower crude and natural gas prices, and declining industry refining margins. Capital and exploration expenditures were $6.2 billion, up $1.6 billion from second quarter 2022.

Earnings for the first six months of 2023 were $19.3 billion, or $4.73 per diluted share, compared with $23.3 billion a year earlier. Capital and exploration expenditures were $12.5 billion, up $3.0 billion from 2022. The Corporation distributed $7.4 billion in dividends to shareholders and repurchased $8.7 billion of common stock.

versus

2Q 2022

3.6 million oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2Q 2023 decreased 124 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day from 2Q 2022. Net production increased 24 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day, excluding the impacts from entitlements, divestments, the Russia expropriation, and higher government-mandated curtailments.

YTD 2023

versus

YTD 2022

3.7 million oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2023 increased 15 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day from 2022. Net production increased 163 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day driven by growth in Guyana and Permian, excluding the impacts from entitlements, divestments, the Russia expropriation, and higher government-mandated curtailments.

Listed below are descriptions of ExxonMobil’s volumes reconciliation factors which are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms.

Entitlements - Net Interest are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes caused by non-operational changes to volume-determining factors. These factors consist of net interest changes specified in Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs), which typically occur when cumulative investment returns or production volumes achieve defined thresholds, changes in equity upon achieving pay-out in partner investment carry situations, equity redeterminations as specified in venture agreements, or as a result of the termination or expiry of a concession. Once a net interest change has occurred, it typically will not be reversed by subsequent events, such as lower crude oil prices.

Entitlements - Price, Spend and Other are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes resulting from temporary changes to non-operational volume-determining factors. These factors include changes in oil and gas prices or spending levels from one period to another. According to the terms of contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, price or spending variability can increase or decrease royalty burdens and/or volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. For example, at higher prices, fewer barrels are required for ExxonMobil to recover its costs. These effects generally vary from period to period with field spending patterns or market prices for oil and natural gas. Such factors can also include other temporary changes in net interest as dictated by specific provisions in production agreements.

Government Mandates are changes to ExxonMobil's sustainable production levels as a result of production limits or sanctions imposed by governments.

Divestments are reductions in ExxonMobil’s production arising from commercial arrangements to fully or partially reduce equity in a field or asset in exchange for financial or other economic consideration.

Growth and Other comprise all other operational and non-operational factors not covered by the above definitions that may affect volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. Such factors include, but are not limited to, production enhancements from project and work program activities, acquisitions including additions from asset exchanges, downtime, market demand, natural field decline, and any fiscal or commercial terms that do not affect entitlements.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales (Non-GAAP)	10,670	20,902		27,865	35,983

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider proceeds associated with asset sales together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities, including shareholder distributions.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the second quarter of 2023 was $10.7 billion, a decrease of $10.2 billion from the comparable 2022 period primarily reflecting lower earnings.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $25.7 billion for the first six months of 2023, $9.0 billion lower than 2022. Net income including noncontrolling interests was $20.0 billion, a decrease of $4.3 billion from the prior year period. The adjustment for the noncash provision of $8.5 billion for depreciation and depletion was down $4.8 billion from 2022. Changes in operational working capital were a reduction of $3.9 billion, compared to a reduction of $1.7 billion in the prior year period. All other items net increased cash flows by $1.1 billion in 2023 versus a reduction of $1.2 billion in 2022. See the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for additional details.

Investing activities for the first six months of 2023 used net cash of $9.3 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion compared to the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment of $10.8 billion was $3.0 billion higher than 2022. Proceeds from asset sales were $2.1 billion. Net investments and advances increased $0.2 billion to $0.7 billion.

Net cash used in financing activities was $16.7 billion in the first six months of 2023, including $8.7 billion for the purchase of 79.1 million shares of ExxonMobil stock, as part of the previously announced buyback program. This compares to net cash used in financing activities of $15.4 billion in the prior year. Total debt at the end of the second quarter of 2023 was $41.5 billion compared to $41.2 billion at year-end 2022. The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 16.7 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2023 compared to 16.9 percent at year-end 2022. The net debt to capital ratio was 5.5 percent at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 0.1 percentage points from year-end 2022. The Corporation's capital allocation priorities are investing in competitively advantaged, high-return projects; maintaining a strong balance sheet; and sharing our success with our shareholders through more consistent share repurchases and a growing dividend. The Corporation distributed a total of $7.4 billion to shareholders in the first six months of 2023 through dividends.

The Corporation has access to significant capacity of long-term and short-term liquidity. Internally generated funds are expected to cover the majority of financial requirements, supplemented by long-term and short-term debt. The Corporation had undrawn short-term committed lines of credit of $0.5 billion and undrawn long-term committed lines of credit of $0.9 billion as of second quarter 2023.

The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade. Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in either gains or losses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include strategic fit, cost synergies, potential for future growth, and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both.

Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

The Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. Through July 2023, the Corporation has entered into various long-term agreements with an estimated total obligation of approximately $6.9 billion. As of June 30, undiscounted commitments for leases not yet commenced totaled $4.1 billion for operating leases and $2.2 billion for finance leases.

Income tax expense was $3.5 billion compared to $6.4 billion in the prior year reflecting lower commodity prices. The effective income tax rate of 33 percent increased from the 31 percent rate in the prior year period due primarily to a change in mix of results in jurisdictions with varying tax rates. Total other taxes and duties increased by $0.5 billion to $8.3 billion.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
