Filed August 1, 2013For Securities:PSX

Summary

Phillips 66 reported a net income of $958 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease from $1,181 million in the same period of the prior year. This decline was primarily attributed to lower refining margins and a reduced feedstock advantage, partially offset by decreased impairments in the Midstream segment. For the first six months of 2013, net income increased to $2,365 million from $1,817 million in the prior year, driven by improved refining and marketing margins and lower impairments. The company generated $968 million in cash from operating activities during the second quarter and $3,181 million for the six-month period. Significant cash uses included capital expenditures, share repurchases ($546 million in Q2 and $928 million year-to-date), and debt prepayment ($500 million). Key strategic developments include the formation and successful IPO of Phillips 66 Partners LP in July 2013, which raised approximately $405 million in net proceeds and will be consolidated by Phillips 66. The company also amended its revolving credit agreement to increase borrowing capacity to $4.5 billion.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver for the decrease in net income was lower refining margins, particularly in the Central Corridor and Gulf Coast regions, as well as a reduced feedstock advantage. This was partially offset by lower impairments in the Midstream segment.

The company generated substantial cash from operations ($968 million in Q2 2013). This cash, along with its credit facilities, was used to fund capital expenditures, significant share repurchases ($546 million), debt prepayment ($500 million), and dividends. The company also maintained strong liquidity with $4.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $5.0 billion in available credit facilities.

The formation and successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Phillips 66 Partners LP in July 2013 is significant as it raised approximately $405 million in net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including future acquisitions and capital expenditures. Phillips 66 retains a controlling interest and will consolidate the partnership, potentially providing a new avenue for growth and value creation.

Impairments in the first six months of 2013 were $25 million, primarily related to exiting a composite graphite business. This is a significant decrease compared to $318 million in impairments during the same period of 2012, which included a substantial charge related to the Rockies Express Pipeline LLC. The absence of a large gain from the sale of the Trainer Refinery in the prior year also impacted year-over-year comparisons for net gain on dispositions.
