Chevron Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results
  • Capital and operating cost reductions on track
  • Second quarter loss of $8.3 billion; adjusted loss of $3.0 billion
  • Includes non-cash net charges of $5.2 billion and a $310 million asset sale gain
  • Enters agreement to acquire Noble Energy
SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 31, 2020-- Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today reported a loss of $8.3 billion ($(4.44) per share - diluted) for second quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $4.3 billion ($2.27 per share - diluted) in second quarter 2019. Included in the current quarter were impairments and other net charges of $1.8 billion primarily associated with downward revisions to the company's commodity price outlook, severance accruals of $780 million, and a gain of $310 million on the sale of Azerbaijan assets. The company also fully impaired its $2.6 billion investment in Venezuela due to uncertainty associated with the current operating environment and overall outlook. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $437 million.

The adjusted loss of $3.0 billion ($(1.59) per share - diluted) in second quarter 2020 compares to adjusted earnings of $3.4 billion ($1.77 per share - diluted) in second quarter 2019. For a reconciliation of adjusted earnings/(loss), see Attachment 5.

Sales and other operating revenues in second quarter 2020 were $16 billion, compared to $36 billion in the year-ago period.

“The past few months have presented unique challenges,” said Michael K. Wirth, Chevron’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer. “The economic impact of the response to COVID-19 significantly reduced demand for our products and lowered commodity prices. Given the uncertainties associated with economic recovery, and ample oil and gas supplies, we made a downward revision to our commodity price outlook which resulted in asset impairments and other charges.” While demand and commodity prices have shown signs of recovery, they are not back to pre-pandemic levels, and financial results may continue to be depressed into the third quarter 2020.

“We reduced our capital budget in response to the current environment and are on track with our commitment to lower operating expense,” Wirth added. Second quarter organic capital expenditures were $3.0 billion, 40 percent below the quarterly budget, and year to date organic capital expenditures are on track with the company’s revised full year guidance of $14 billion. While second quarter 2020 operating expenses of $7.1 billion were up 13 percent from second quarter 2019, second quarter 2020 operating expenses, excluding severance accruals of $1 billion, were down 3 percent compared to the year ago period.

Chevron remains committed to its people, assets and operations in Venezuela. The current operating environment and overall outlook create significant uncertainties regarding recoverability of the company's investments, leading to a full impairment. Chevron will continue to fulfill its contractual obligations as permitted under the current sanctions and general license, with the intent to return to normal operations in due course.

“I'm proud of our employees' response to the health, economic and social crises facing the world,” Wirth added. “Our operations continue to run safely — providing the energy essential to every day life. We're transforming our company to be more efficient, agile and innovative. And we're having the difficult conversations about race and reaffirming our commitment to equal pay, equal opportunity and equal rights.”

“We're focused on what we can control. Our actions are guided by our values and our long-standing financial priorities: to protect the dividend, invest for long term value and maintain a strong balance sheet,” Wirth affirmed.

Additionally, the company recently announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Noble Energy to acquire all of its outstanding shares in an all stock transaction. Wirth said, “Noble’s high-quality assets provide Chevron with low-cost, proved reserves and attractive undeveloped resources that will enhance an already advantaged Upstream portfolio. We believe this transaction will unlock significant value for shareholders of both companies.”

UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.99 million barrels per day in second quarter 2020, a decrease of 3 percent from a year ago, and down 8 percent from first quarter 2020. The decrease was largely a result of curtailed production in response to low commodity prices and asset sales, partially offset by net production increases in a number of properties.

US upstream

U.S. upstream operations reported a loss of $2.1 billion in second quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $896 million a year earlier. Included in the current quarter were charges of $1.3 billion for special items including impairments, write-offs and severance accruals. Sharply lower crude oil realizations also contributed to the decrease in earnings between periods.

The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $19 in second quarter 2020, down from $52 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $0.81 per thousand cubic feet in second quarter 2020, up from $0.68 in last year’s second quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 991,000 barrels per day in second quarter 2020 was up 93,000 barrels per day from a year earlier. Production increases from shale and tight properties in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico were partially offset by normal field declines and the effects of production curtailments due to market conditions. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production in second quarter 2020 increased 5 percent to 747,000 barrels per day, while net natural gas production increased 29 percent to 1.46 billion cubic feet per day, compared to last year's second quarter.

International Upstream

International upstream operations reported a loss of $4.0 billion in second quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $2.6 billion a year ago. Special items included in second quarter 2020 include charges of $3.9 billion for impairments, write-offs and severance accruals and earnings of $0.7 billion associated with a gain on the Azerbaijan sale and tax items. Sharply lower crude oil realizations and lower crude oil and natural gas sales volumes also contributed to the decrease in earnings between periods. Foreign currency effects had an unfavorable impact on earnings of $284 million between periods.

The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in second quarter 2020 was $21 per barrel, down from $62 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $4.48 per thousand cubic feet in the quarter, compared with $5.43 in last year’s second quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 2.00 million barrels per day in second quarter 2020 decreased 189,000 barrels per day from second quarter 2019. The decrease is due to production curtailments associated with market conditions and OPEC+ restrictions combined with asset sale related decreases of 100,000 barrels per day. Partially offsetting these items were increased production entitlement effects. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 7 percent to 1.08 million barrels per day in second quarter 2020, while net natural gas production of 5.52 billion cubic feet per day decreased 11 percent, compared to last year's second quarter.

U.S. Downstream

U.S. downstream operations reported a loss of $988 million in second quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $465 million a year earlier. The decrease was mainly due to lower margins on refined product sales, lower sales volumes, lower earnings from 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company and severance accruals, partially offset by lower maintenance and transportation costs.

Refinery crude oil input in second quarter 2020 decreased 39 percent to 581,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, as the company cut refinery runs in response to the weak refining margin environment.

Refined product sales of 827,000 barrels per day were down 35 percent from second quarter 2019, mainly due to gasoline, jet fuel and diesel demand destruction associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

International Downstream

International downstream operations reported a loss of $22 million in second quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $264 million a year earlier. The decrease in earnings was largely due to lower margins on refined product sales and severance accruals, partially offset by lower shutdown and transportation costs. Foreign currency effects had an unfavorable impact on earnings of $14 million between periods.

Refinery crude oil input of 589,000 barrels per day in second quarter 2020 decreased 2 percent from the year-ago period.

Refined product sales of 1.10 million barrels per day in second quarter 2020 were down 13 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to gasoline, jet fuel and diesel demand destruction associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

Cash flow from operations in the first six months of 2020 was $4.8 billion, compared with $13.8 billion in the corresponding 2019 period. Excluding working capital effects, cash flow from operations in the first six months of 2020 was $5.2 billion, compared with $14.1 billion in the corresponding 2019 period.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES

Capital and exploratory expenditures in the first six months of 2020 were $7.7 billion, compared with $10.0 billion in 2019. The amounts included $2.3 billion in 2020 and $3.1 billion in 2019 for the company’s share of expenditures by affiliates, which did not require cash outlays by the company. Expenditures for upstream represented 83 percent of the company-wide total in 2020. Second quarter 2020 capital expenditures were down 37% compared to second quarter 2019. Included in the 2020 period were inorganic capital expenditures of $0.3 billion associated with the downstream acquisition of Puma Energy (Australia) Holdings Pty Ltd.

Chevron Announces Third Quarter 2020 Results
  • Third quarter loss of $207 million; adjusted earnings of $201 million
  • Capital spending down 48 percent; operating expenses down 12 percent
  • Noble Energy acquisition completed in October 2020
San Ramon, Calif., October 30, 2020 – Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today reported a loss of $207 million ($(0.12) per share - diluted) for third quarter 2020, compared with earnings of $2.6 billion ($1.36 per share - diluted) in third quarter 2019. Included in the current quarter was a charge of $130 million attributable to a tax item related to an international upstream end-of-contract settlement and a non-cash provision of $90 million for remediation of a former mining asset. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $188 million.

Adjusted earnings of $201 million ($0.11 per share - diluted) in third quarter 2020 compares to adjusted earnings of $2.9 billion ($1.55 per share - diluted) in third quarter 2019. For a reconciliation of adjusted earnings/(loss), see Attachment 5.

Sales and other operating revenues in third quarter 2020 were $24 billion, compared to $35 billion in the year-ago period.

“Third quarter results were down from a year ago, primarily due to lower commodity prices and margins resulting from the impact of COVID-19,” said Michael K. Wirth, Chevron’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer. “The world’s economy continues to operate below prepandemic levels, impacting demand for our products which are closely linked to economic activity.”

“We remain focused on what we can control – safe operations, capital discipline and cost management,” Wirth continued. “Compared to last year's third quarter, organic capital expenditures and operating expenses were down 48 percent and 12 percent, respectively.” “I’m proud of our employees’ continued focus on safe and reliable operations during these challenging times,” Wirth added. “Our actions are guided by our long-standing financial priorities: to protect the dividend, invest for long term value and maintain a strong balance sheet.”

The company's acquisition of Noble Energy, Inc. was completed in October following approval by Noble Energy shareholders. Wirth said, “Noble’s high-quality assets, including those in the Eastern Mediterranean, Colorado’s DJ Basin and the Permian Basin, strengthen our portfolio and are expected to increase the long-term value of our company.”

The company’s joint venture, CalBioGas LLC, successfully started production of dairybiomethane, a renewable natural gas (RNG), from dairy farms in California and marketed it as an alternative fuel for heavy-duty trucks and buses. The company also announced the formation of a joint venture with Brightmark LLC to produce and market additional dairy biomethane.

Lastly, the company signed an agreement in October to sell its Appalachia natural gas business. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the year.

UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.83 million barrels per day in third quarter 2020, a decrease of 7 percent from a year ago. The decrease was largely a result of curtailed production in response to low commodity prices and asset sales, partially offset by net production increases at a number of properties.

DOWNSTREAM

U.S. downstream operations earned $141 million in third quarter 2020, compared with $389 million a year earlier. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales volumes and lower margins on refined product sales, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Refinery crude oil input in third quarter 2020 decreased 17 percent to 820,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, as the company cut refinery runs in response to the weak refining margin environment.

Refined product sales of 1.00 million barrels per day were down 22 percent from third quarter 2019, mainly due to lower jet fuel, gasoline and diesel demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

International downstream operations earned $151 million in third quarter 2020, compared with $439 million a year earlier. The decrease in earnings was largely due to lower margins on refined product sales, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Foreign currency effects had an unfavorable impact on earnings of $76 million between periods.

Refinery crude oil input of 570,000 barrels per day in third quarter 2020 decreased 9 percent from the year-ago period, primarily due to the economic slowdowns in response to the COVID19 pandemic.

Refined product sales of 1.28 million barrels per day in third quarter 2020 were down 6 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to lower jet fuel demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by higher diesel sales resulting from the second quarter 2020 acquisition of Puma Energy (Australia) Holdings Pty Ltd.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

Cash flow from operations in the first nine months of 2020 was $8.3 billion, compared with $21.7 billion in the corresponding 2019 period.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES

Capital and exploratory expenditures in the first nine months of 2020 were $10.3 billion, compared with $15.0 billion in 2019. The amounts included $3.1 billion in 2020 and $4.6 billion in 2019 for the company’s share of expenditures by affiliates, which did not require cash outlays by the company. Expenditures for upstream represented 82 percent of the company-wide total in 2020. Third quarter 2020 capital expenditures were down 48 percent compared to the prior year period.

Chevron Announces Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
  • Fourth quarter loss of $665 million; adjusted loss of $11 million
  • Annual capital spending down 35 percent
  • Increased 2020 dividend per share for 33rd consecutive year
San Ramon, Calif., January 29, 2021 – Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today reported a loss of $665 million ($(0.33) per share - diluted) for fourth quarter 2020, compared with a loss of $6.6 billion ($(3.51) per share - diluted) in fourth quarter 2019. Included in the current quarter was a charge of $120 million associated with Noble Energy, Inc. acquisition costs. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $534 million. Adjusted loss of $11 million ($(0.01) per share - diluted) in fourth quarter 2020 compares to adjusted earnings of $2.8 billion ($1.49 per share - diluted) in fourth quarter 2019.

Chevron reported a full-year 2020 loss of $5.5 billion ($(2.96) per share - diluted), compared with earnings of $2.9 billion ($1.54 per share - diluted) in 2019. Included in 2020 were net charges for special items of $4.5 billion, compared to net charges of $8.7 billion for special items in 2019. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings in 2020 by $645 million. Adjusted loss of $368 million ($(0.20) per share - diluted) in full-year 2020 compares to adjusted earnings of $11.9 billion ($6.27 per share - diluted) in full-year 2019.

Sales and other operating revenues in fourth quarter 2020 were $25 billion, compared to $35 billion in the year-ago period. “2020 was a year like no other,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer. “We were well positioned when the pandemic and economic crisis hit, and we exited the year with a strong balance sheet, having completed a major acquisition and increased our dividend payout for the 33rd consecutive year.”

“When market conditions deteriorated, we swiftly reduced capital spending by 35 percent from 2019 and also reduced operating costs, demonstrating our commitment to capital and cost discipline,” Wirth added. Excluding severance expense, 2020 operating expenses were down
$1.4 billion from the prior year. Chevron also completed an enterprise-wide transformation program and the integration of Noble Energy, positioning the company for the future.

“The acquisition of Noble Energy was completed in October, adding high-quality assets, opportunities and people to Chevron,” Wirth said. The company also generated asset sales proceeds of $2.9 billion in 2020, including the sale of its Appalachia natural gas business in December. For 2018 through 2020, the company generated asset sales proceeds of $7.7 billion, in the middle of its guidance range of $5-$10 billion.

Chevron added 832 million barrels of net oil-equivalent proved reserves in 2020. These additions, which are subject to final reviews, are net of reductions associated with lower commodity prices, decisions to reduce capital funding for various projects and asset sales. The largest net additions were from the acquisition of Noble Energy and from assets in Kazakhstan.

The largest net reductions were from assets in Australia, Venezuela, and the Permian Basin and asset sales in Appalachia. The company will provide additional details relating to 2020 reserve additions in its Annual Report on Form 10-K scheduled for filing with the SEC on February 25, 2021.

“In 2020, we increased production of renewable products and investments in low-carbon technologies, consistent with our commitment to succeed in a lower carbon future,” Wirth stated. During the year, the company announced first gas production at its CalBioGas renewable natural gas (RNG) joint venture in California, formed a new RNG partnership with Brightmark and announced first production of renewable base oil through its Novvi joint venture. The company also entered agreements to invest in carbon capture and other emerging low carbon technologies through its Future Energy Fund.

At year-end, balances of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $5.6 billion, a decrease of $0.1 billion from the end of 2019. Total debt at December 31, 2020 was $44.3 billion, an increase of $17.3 billion from a year earlier, including $9.4 billion from Noble Energy.

Chevron Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results
  • Reported earnings of $11.6 billion; adjusted earnings of $11.4 billion
  • Cash flow from operations of $13.8 billion; free cash flow of $10.6 billion
  • Completed acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Inc.
SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2022-- Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today reported earnings of $11.6 billion ($5.95 per share - diluted) for second quarter 2022, compared with $3.1 billion ($1.60 per share - diluted) in second quarter 2021. Included in the current quarter were charges associated with an early contract termination of $600 million, pension settlement costs of $11 million, and a gain on asset sales of $200 million. Foreign currency effects increased earnings by $668 million. Adjusted earnings of $11.4 billion ($5.82 per share - diluted) in second quarter 2022 compares to adjusted earnings of $3.3 billion ($1.71 per share - diluted) in second quarter 2021.

Sales and other operating revenues in second quarter 2022 were $65 billion, compared to $36 billion in the year-ago period.

“Second quarter financial performance improved as we delivered a return on capital employed of 26 percent,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer. The company also strengthened its balance sheet, lowering its debt ratio to under 15 percent, and increased the top end of its annual share repurchase guidance range to $15 billion.

“We more than doubled investment compared to last year to grow both traditional and new energy business lines,” Wirth added. “With Permian production more than 15 percent higher than a year ago and now as one of the leading renewable fuel producers in the United States, Chevron is increasing energy supplies to help meet the challenges facing global markets,” Wirth concluded.

This investment includes total capital and exploratory and acquisition-related expenditures as Chevron closed its acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Inc. and completed the formation of a renewable fuels joint venture with Bunge North America, Inc. Also during the second quarter, the company sanctioned the Ballymore project in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which is expected to require a gross investment of approximately $1.6 billion. The field is planned to be produced through an existing facility with allocated capacity of 75,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

The company also advanced its carbon capture and storage (CCS) business this quarter by launching a CCS project aimed at reducing the carbon intensity of its upstream operations in California and forming an expanded joint venture to develop the Bayou Bend CCS hub in Texas, with the goal of it becoming one of the first offshore CCS projects in the United States.

Further, leveraging the company’s growing U.S. natural gas production and its global liquefied natural gas (LNG) value chain, Chevron signed agreements to export 4 million tonnes per year of LNG out of the U.S. Gulf Coast, commencing in 2026.

UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.90 million barrels per day in second quarter 2022. International production decreased 13 percent primarily due to the end of concessions in Thailand and Indonesia, while U.S. production increased 3 percent compared to the same period a year ago mainly in the Permian Basin.

U.S. upstream operations earned $3.37 billion in second quarter 2022, compared with $1.45 billion a year earlier. The improvement was primarily due to higher realizations, partially offset by higher operating expenses largely due to an early contract termination.

The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $89 in second quarter 2022, up from $54 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $6.22 per thousand cubic feet in second quarter 2022, up from $2.16 in last year’s second quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.17 million barrels per day in second quarter 2022 was up 36,000 barrels per day from a year earlier. The increase was primarily due to net production increases in the Permian Basin. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production in second quarter 2022 increased 4 percent to 888,000 barrels per day, and net natural gas production increased 2 percent to 1.71 billion cubic feet per day, compared to last year’s second quarter.

International Upstream

International upstream operations earned $5.19 billion in second quarter 2022, compared with $1.73 billion a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher realizations and asset sale gains, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Foreign currency effects had a favorable impact on earnings of $525 million between periods.

The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in second quarter 2022 was $102 per barrel, up from $62 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $9.23 per thousand cubic feet in the second quarter, up from $4.92 in last year’s second quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.72 million barrels per day in second quarter 2022 was down 266,000 barrels per day from second quarter 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of production following expiration of the Erawan concession in Thailand and Rokan concession in Indonesia, and unfavorable entitlement effects due to higher prices. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 19 percent to 799,000 barrels per day in second quarter 2022, while net natural gas production decreased 7 percent to 5.55 billion cubic feet per day compared to last year’s second quarter.
