10. Acquisition

Description of the Transaction: On February 26, 2013, ExxonMobil Canada acquired Celtic Exploration Ltd. (“Celtic”). Immediately following the acquisition, Imperial acquired a 50-percent interest in Celtic’s assets and liabilities from ExxonMobil Canada for $1,608 million, financed by a combination of related party and third party debt (see note 6 for further details). Concurrently, a general partnership was formed to hold and operate the assets of Celtic. The name of the general partnership was changed to XTO Energy Canada (“XTO Canada”). XTO Canada is involved in the exploration for, production of, and transportation and sale of natural gas and crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed: Imperial used the acquisition method of accounting to record its pro-rata share of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

millions of dollars       

Cash

     6   

Accounts receivable

     38   

Materials, supplies and prepaid expenses

     5   

Property, plant and equipment (a)

     2,045   

Goodwill (b)

     20   
  

 

 

 

Total assets acquired

     2,114   
  

 

 

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

     62   

Deferred income tax liabilities (c)

     377   

Other long-term obligations

     67   
  

 

 

 

Total liabilities assumed

     506   
  

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

     1,608   
  

 

 

 

 

(a) Property, plant and equipment were measured primarily using an income approach. The fair value measurements of the oil and gas assets were based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The significant inputs included Celtic resources, assumed future production profiles, commodity prices (mainly based on observable market inputs), risk adjusted discount rate of 10 percent, inflation of 2 percent and assumptions on the timing and amount of future development and operating costs. The property, plant and equipment additions were segmented to the Upstream business, with all of the assets in Canada.

 

(b) Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill was recognized in the Upstream reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

(c) Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences on the temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. The deferred income taxes recorded as part of the acquisition were:

Actual and Pro Forma Impact of the Acquisition:

Revenues for XTO Canada from the acquisition date included in the company’s consolidated financial statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $31 million. After-tax earnings for XTO Canada from the acquisition date through June 30, 2013 were de minimis.

Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and were de minimis in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Pro forma revenues, earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share information as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2013 or the comparable prior reporting period is not presented, since the effect on Imperial’s consolidated second quarter 2013 financial results or the comparable prior reporting period, would not have been material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OPERATING RESULTS

The company’s net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $327 million or $0.38 a share on a diluted basis, compared with $635 million or $0.75 a share for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 49 percent. Net income in the first six months of 2013 was $1,125 million or $1.32 a share on a diluted basis, versus $1,650 million or $1.94 a share for the first half of 2012. Earnings in both the second quarter and first half of 2013 included a non-cash after tax charge of $264 million associated with the conversion of the Dartmouth refinery to a fuels terminal.

Other factors contributing to lower second quarter earnings included lower industry refining margins of about $285 million, higher start-up related operating costs at Kearl of about $90 million and lower bitumen production and higher maintenance costs at Cold Lake totalling about $80 million. These factors were partially offset by favourable impacts of about $220 million associated with improved refinery operations and lower maintenance activities, higher liquids realizations of about $130 million and higher volumes at Syncrude of about $45 million.

For the six months, other factors contributing to lower earnings included lower industry refining margins of about $155 million, higher start-up related operating costs at Kearl of about $145 million, lower liquids realizations of about $140 million and lower bitumen production and higher maintenance costs at Cold Lake totalling about $85 million. These factors were partially offset by lower royalty costs of about $195 million and improved refinery operations and lower refinery maintenance activities totalling about $105 million.

Upstream

Net income in the second quarter was $397 million, $37 million higher than the same period of 2012. Earnings increased primarily due to higher liquids realizations of about $130 million, higher volumes at Syncrude of about $45 million and lower royalty costs of about $35 million due to higher cost recovery for capital investments. These factors were partially offset by higher start-up related operating costs at Kearl of about $90 million. Sales of Kearl diluted bitumen continue to be expected in the third quarter of 2013. Earnings were also negatively impacted by lower bitumen production and higher costs at Cold Lake totalling about $80 million due to planned maintenance activities.

Net income for the six months of 2013 was $697 million, $205 million lower than the same period of 2012. Earnings decreased primarily due to higher start-up related operating costs at Kearl of about $145 million, lower liquids realizations of about $140 million and lower bitumen production and higher maintenance costs at Cold Lake totalling about $85 million. These factors were partially offset by lower royalty costs of about $195 million.

The price differential between Brent crude oil, the benchmark for Atlantic basin markets, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a common benchmark for mid-continent North American oil markets, narrowed to $8.27 a barrel in U.S. dollars in the second quarter of 2013 and to $13.15 a barrel in U.S. dollars in the first six months of 2013, compared to $14.86 and $15.19 a barrel, respectively, in the corresponding periods last year. As discounts for WTI crude oil decreased, the company’s average realizations in Canadian dollars on sales of conventional and synthetic crude oils increased about seven and 12 percent, respectively, in the second quarter of 2013 and about one and four percent, respectively, in the first six months of 2013. The company’s average bitumen realizations in Canadian dollars in the second quarter of 2013 also increased about 15 percent to $65.66 a barrel as the price spread between light crude oil and Cold Lake bitumen narrowed. However, in the first six months of 2013, the company’s average bitumen realizations in Canadian dollars were still down about 12 percent at $54.03 a barrel. The company’s average realization on natural gas sales of $3.50 a thousand cubic feet for both second quarter and first six months of 2013 was higher by about $1.70 and $1.41 a thousand cubic feet, respectively, versus the same periods in 2012.

Gross production of Cold Lake bitumen averaged 144 thousand barrels a day during the second quarter of 2013, down eight thousand barrels a day from the same period last year. Lower volumes were primarily due to the largest-ever preventive maintenance of the Mahkeses facilities. The maintenance activities have been successfully completed, and the plant has returned to normal operations. For the six months, gross production averaged 154 thousand barrels a day, compared with 155 thousand barrels in the first half of 2012.

 

14


The company’s share of Syncrude’s gross production in the second quarter was 68 thousand barrels a day, up from 60 thousand barrels in the second quarter of 2012. Increased production was due to lower maintenance activities partially offset by the negative impact of weather on mine operations in mid-June. Planned maintenance activities of one of the three cokers originally scheduled for later in the year was advanced into June and is scheduled to complete by early August. During the first six months of 2013, the company’s share of Syncrude’s gross production was 67 thousand barrels a day essentially unchanged from the same period in 2012.

Gross production of conventional crude oil averaged 22 thousand barrels a day in the second quarter, versus 20 thousand barrels in the corresponding period in 2012. Gross production averaged 20 thousand barrels a day in the first half of 2013, unchanged from the same period in 2012.

Gross production of natural gas during the second quarter of 2013 was 204 million cubic feet a day, up from 195 million cubic feet in the same period last year. Higher production volumes reflected the contributions from XTO Canada (formerly Celtic) and the Horn River pilot which more than offset normal field decline. Gross production of natural gas during the six months of 2013 was 195 million cubic feet a day, essentially unchanged from 197 million cubic feet in the same period last year.

On April 26, production from the first of three proprietary paraffinic froth treatment trains began at the Kearl initial development. The process is producing pipeline quality bitumen as planned. For the quarter, Kearl’s production volume contribution was low, at four thousand barrels a day as synchronizing facilities and working toward stable operations was the focus. Line-fill operations are advanced, and diluted bitumen sales are expected to begin in the third quarter. We expect to reach 110,000 barrels a day (78,000 barrels a day Imperial’s share) later in 2013.

Downstream

Net income was negative $97 million in the second quarter versus $232 million in the second quarter of 2012. Earnings in the second quarter of 2013 included a non-cash after tax charge of $264 million associated with the conversion of the Dartmouth refinery to a fuels terminal. Earnings were also negatively impacted by lower industry refining margins of about $285 million resulting from the narrowing price differential between Brent and WTI crude oils. These factors were partially offset by favourable impacts of about $220 million associated with improved refinery operations and lower refinery maintenance activities.

Six months net income was $381 million, a decrease of $306 million over the same period in 2012. Earnings in the first half of 2013 included a non-cash after tax charge of $264 million associated with the conversion of the Dartmouth refinery to a fuels terminal. Earnings were also negatively impacted by lower industry refining margins of about $155 million resulting from the narrowing price differential between Brent and WTI crude oils. These factors were partially offset by favourable impacts of about $105 million associated with improved refinery operations and lower refinery maintenance activities.

Chemical

Net income was $42 million in the second quarter versus $49 million in the same quarter last year. Lower sales volumes for chemical products were partially offset by higher polyethylene margins. Six months net income was $77 million, down $7 million over the same period in 2012.

Corporate and Other

Net income effects from Corporate and Other were negative $15 million in the second quarter, versus negative $6 million in the same period of 2012. For the six months of 2013, net income effects from Corporate & Other were negative $30 million, versus negative $23 million last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow generated from operating activities was $738 million in the second quarter, versus $1,317 million in the corresponding period in 2012. Lower cash flow was primarily associated with inventory build as a result of lower pipeline apportionment and the start-up of Kearl initial development, versus an inventory draw during the same period in 2012 following planned refinery maintenance. Year-to-date cash flow generated from operating activities was $1,335 million, compared with $2,364 million in the same period last year. Lower cash flow was primarily due to lower net income and working capital effects.

Investing activities used net cash of $1,562 million in the second quarter, compared with $1,224 million in the same period of 2012. Additions to property, plant and equipment were $1,616 million in the second quarter, compared with $1,290 million during the same quarter 2012. Expenditures during the quarter were primarily directed towards the advancement of Kearl expansion and Cold Lake Nabiye projects. The Kearl expansion is expected to bring on additional production of 110,000 barrels of bitumen a day, before royalties, of which the company’s share would be about 78,000 barrels a day. Start-up is expected late 2015. The Nabiye expansion at Cold Lake is expected to bring on additional production of more than 40,000 barrels of bitumen a day, before royalties. Start-up is expected to be late 2014.

Cash from financing activities was $1,043 million in the second quarter, compared with cash used in financing activities of $142 million in the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter, the company increased its long-term debt level by $799 million by drawing on an existing facility and issued additional commercial paper which increased short-term debt by $348 million. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, the company increased its total debt outstanding by $494 million by drawing on existing facilities. The increased debt was used to finance normal operations and major projects.

The above factors led to an increase in the company’s balance of cash to $542 million at June 30, 2013, from $482 million at the end of 2012.

Subsequent to the second quarter, the company has entered into additional long-term pipeline transportation agreements to ship heavy crude oil blend. These agreements, which have a total commitment of about $3 billion, will support the company’s long-term growth in oil sands production. The company expects to fulfill these commitments in the normal course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2013 does not differ materially from that discussed on page 23 in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 except for the following:

 

Earnings sensitivity (a)

millions of dollars after tax

           

Nine dollars (U.S.) a barrel change in crude oil prices

   + (-)            390            

Nine cents decrease (increase) in the value of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar

   + (-)            575            

 

(a) The amount quoted to illustrate the impact of the sensitivity represents a change of about 10 percent in the value of the rate at the end of the second quarter 2013. The sensitivity calculation shows the impact on annual net income that results from a change in one factor, after tax and royalties and holding all other factors constant. While the sensitivity is applicable under current conditions, it may not apply proportionately to larger fluctuations.

The sensitivity of net income to changes in crude oil prices increased from the first quarter of 2013 by about $6 million (after tax) a year for each one U.S. dollar change. The sensitivity of net income to changes in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar increased from the first quarter of 2013 by about $7 million (after tax) a year for each one-cent change. The increase in both areas was primarily a result of the impact of production from the Kearl initial development which began in the second quarter of 2013.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the company 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.

There has not been any change in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
