EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 2013 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.

 

2.     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. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

 

 

Other Contingencies

 

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31, 2014, 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. 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.

Additionally, 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. The Corporation's outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at March 31, 2014, were similar to those at the prior year-end period. Unconditional purchase obligations as defined by accounting standards are those long-term commitments that are noncancelable or cancelable only under certain conditions, and that third parties have used to secure financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods or services.

 

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 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.

 

In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project.  The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture.  ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.  ExxonMobil’s remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets is about $750 million.

 

On September 6, 2007, affiliates of ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) invoking ICSID jurisdiction under Venezuela’s Investment Law and the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID Tribunal issued a decision on June 10, 2010, finding that it had jurisdiction to proceed on the basis of the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID arbitration proceeding is continuing and a hearing on the merits was held in February 2012.  At this time, the net impact of these matters on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. Regardless, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

 

An affiliate of ExxonMobil is one of the Contractors under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) covering the Erha block located in the offshore waters of Nigeria. ExxonMobil's affiliate is the operator of the block and owns a 56.25 percent interest under the PSC. The Contractors are in dispute with NNPC regarding NNPC's lifting of crude oil in excess of its entitlement under the terms of the PSC. In accordance with the terms of the PSC, the Contractors initiated arbitration in Abuja, Nigeria, under the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act. On October 24, 2011, a three-member arbitral Tribunal issued an award upholding the Contractors' position in all material respects and awarding damages to the Contractors jointly in an amount of approximately $1.8 billion plus $234 million in accrued interest. The Contractors petitioned a Nigerian federal court for enforcement of the award, and NNPC petitioned the same court to have the award set aside. On May 22, 2012, the court set aside the award.  The Contractors have appealed that judgment. In June 2013, the Contractors filed a lawsuit against NNPC in the Nigerian federal high court in order to preserve their ability to seek enforcement of the PSC in the courts if necessary. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation's consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, regardless of the outcome of enforcement proceedings, the Corporation does not expect the proceedings to have a material effect upon the Corporation's operations or financial condition.

6.     Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to observable market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate.  The only category of financial instruments where the difference between fair value and recorded book value is notable is long-term debt.  The estimated fair value of total long-term debt, excluding capitalized lease obligations, was $12,086 million at March 31, 2014, and $6,787 million at December 31, 2013, as compared to recorded book values of $11,786 million at March 31, 2014, and $6,516 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase in the estimated fair value and book value of long-term debt reflects the Corporation’s issuance of $5,500 million of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2014.  The $5,500 million of long-term debt is comprised of $750 million of floating-rate notes due in 2017, $500 million of floating-rate notes due in 2019, $1,500 million of 0.921% notes due in 2017, $1,750 million of 1.819% notes due in 2019, and $1,000 million of 3.176% notes due in 2024.

The fair value of long-term debt by hierarchy level at March 31, 2014, is: Level 1 $11,142 million; Level 2 $880 million; and Level 3 $64 million.  Level 1 represents quoted prices in active markets.  Level 2 includes debt whose fair value is based upon a publicly available index.  Level 3 involves using internal data augmented by relevant market indicators if available.

REVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

 

ExxonMobil’s first quarter earnings and cash flow reflect the company’s continuing focus on delivering profitable growth and creating long-term shareholder value.  Strong performance in the Upstream benefitted from improved production mix and increased unit profitability.

 

First quarter 2014 earnings were $9.1 billion, down 4 percent from the first quarter of 2013.  Upstream earnings were $7.8 billion, up 11 percent from the previous year.

 

Capital and exploration expenditures for the first quarter were $8.4 billion, down 28 percent from the first quarter of 2013.

 

The Corporation distributed $5.7 billion to shareholders in the first quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

Upstream earnings were $7,783 million in the first three months of 2014, up $746 million from the first quarter of 2013.  Higher natural gas realizations, partially offset by lower liquids realizations, increased earnings by $410 million.  Production volume and mix effects increased earnings by $20 million.  All other items, including asset management impacts, increased earnings by $320 million.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased 5.6 percent from the first quarter of 2013.  Excluding the impact of the expiry of the Abu Dhabi onshore concession, production decreased 2.9 percent. 

 

Liquids production totaled 2,148 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), down 45 kbd from the first quarter of 2013.  The Abu Dhabi onshore concession expiry reduced volumes by 118 kbd.  Excluding this impact, liquids production was up 3.3 percent, driven by project ramp-up, mainly at Kearl, and lower downtime. 

 

First quarter natural gas production was 12,016 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), down 1,197 mcfd from 2013, primarily due to lower demand.

 

Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,244 million, $385 million higher than the first quarter of 2013.  Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $6,539 million, up $361 million from the prior year.

Listed below are descriptions of ExxonMobil’s entitlement volume effects.  These descriptions are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms.

 

Production Sharing Contract (PSC) Net Interest Reductions are contractual reductions in ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes covered by PSCs. These reductions typically occur when cumulative investment returns or production volumes achieve thresholds as specified in the PSCs. Once a net interest reduction has occurred, it typically will not be reversed by subsequent events, such as lower crude oil prices.

 

Price and Spend Impacts on Volumes are fluctuations in ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes caused by changes in oil and gas prices or spending levels from one period to another.  For example, at higher prices, fewer barrels are required for ExxonMobil to recover its costs. 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. These effects generally vary from period to period with field spending patterns or market prices for crude oil or natural gas.

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 provided by operating activities totaled $15.1 billion for the first three months of 2014, $1.5 billion higher than 2013. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $9.4 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion from the prior year period.  The adjustment for the noncash provision of $4.2 billion for depreciation and depletion increased by $0.1 billion.  Changes in operational working capital added to cash flows in both periods.  All other items net decreased cash by $0.9 billion in 2014 and by $2.6 billion in 2013.  For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 6.

 

Investing activities for the first three months of 2014 used net cash of $6.3 billion, a decrease of $3.7 billion compared to the prior year.  Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment of $7.3 billion was $0.2 billion lower than 2013.  Proceeds from asset sales of $1.1 billion increased $0.8 billion.  Additional investment and advances decreased $2.6 billion to $0.5 billion reflecting the absence of the 2013 acquisition of Celtic Exploration Ltd.

 

Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first quarter of 2014 of $16.2 billion, including asset sales of $1.1 billion, increased $2.3 billion from the comparable 2013 period. 

 

During the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation issued $5.5 billion of long-term debt and used the proceeds to reduce short-term debt.  Net cash used in financing activities of $7.8 billion in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.1 billion higher than 2013 reflecting total debt reduction in 2014 and short-term debt issuance in 2013, partially offset by a lower level of purchases of shares of ExxonMobil stock in 2014. 

 

During the first quarter of 2014, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 40.5 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $3.9 billion.  These purchases included $3 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding with the balance used to acquire shares in conjunction with the company’s benefit plans and programs.  Shares outstanding decreased from 4,335 million at year-end 2013 to 4,294 million at the end of the first quarter 2014.  Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.


16

 


 

 

 

The Corporation distributed to shareholders a total of $5.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

 

Total cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2014 compared to $6.6 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2013.

 

Total debt of $21.4 billion compared to $22.7 billion at year-end 2013.  The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 10.5 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2014 compared to 11.2 percent at year-end 2013. 

 

While the Corporation issues long-term debt from time to time, the Corporation currently expects to cover its near-term financial requirements predominantly with internally generated funds, supplemented by its revolving commercial paper program. 

 

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 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 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects and property acquisitions.

Statements relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements.  Actual results, including project plans, costs, timing, and capacities; capital and exploration expenditures; resource recoveries; and share purchase levels, could differ materially due to factors including: changes in oil or gas prices or other market or economic conditions affecting the oil and gas industry, including the scope and duration of economic recessions; the outcome of exploration and development efforts; changes in law or government regulation, including tax and environmental requirements; the outcome of commercial negotiations; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" in the “Investors” section of our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil's 2013 Form 10-K.  We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

 

The term “project” as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same meaning as in any government payment transparency reports.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2014, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2013.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014.  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.  There were no changes during the Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

Regarding the administrative orders issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to XTO Energy Inc. (XTO) for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act at three XTO locations in West Virginia reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012, the restoration plan for one site has been approved and the physical portion of the restoration has been commenced. The plans for two other sites are still under review by USEPA. XTO has voluntarily disclosed five additional West Virginia sites to the USEPA. XTO has submitted delineation reports for the additional sites which USEPA is reviewing. Negotiations continue on a Consent Decree to resolve outstanding penalty and compliance issues. It is expected that the USEPA will seek penalties from XTO in excess of $100,000 to resolve the matters at all of the sites.

 

On April 11, 2014, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (EMOC) signed an agreement with South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to resolve the issues relating to three parallel flare lines at EMOC’s Torrance Refinery in California as reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2013. Under the settlement, AQMD will give EMOC a full release of all pending AQMD Notices of Violation and all violations related to and arising from the lines from 1998 through December 31, 2013, in exchange for ExxonMobil’s payment of a civil penalty of $8.1 million and the Refinery’s commitment to permanently close off the three lines before December 31, 2015. In addition, ExxonMobil will owe $14.5 million in back flare mitigation fees (initially paying 50% and retaining 50%) with the opportunity to apply 100% of the back mitigation fees towards one or more AQMD approved Mitigation Projects at or near the Torrance Refinery. ExxonMobil will also pay back emissions fees through 2012 in the amount of $320,000.  

 

With respect to the enforcement action filed by the United States, on behalf of the USEPA, and the State of Arkansas, on behalf of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, against ExxonMobil Pipeline Company related to the discharge of crude oil from the Pegasus Pipeline in Mayflower, Faulkner County, Arkansas, previously reported in the Corporation’s Forms 10-Q for the first, second and third quarters of 2013, the court has issued an order setting a trial date of February 24, 2015.

Note 1 - On August 1, 2000, the Corporation announced its intention to resume purchases of shares of its common stock for the treasury both to offset shares issued in conjunction with company benefit plans and programs and to gradually reduce the number of shares outstanding.  The announcement did not specify an amount or expiration date.  The Corporation has continued to purchase shares since this announcement and to report purchased volumes in its quarterly earnings releases.  In its most recent earnings release dated May 1, 2014, the Corporation stated that second quarter 2014 share purchases to reduce shares outstanding are anticipated to equal $3 billion.  Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
