Filed July 29, 2022For Securities:PSX

Summary

Phillips 66 reported a strong second quarter and first half of 2022, with net income attributable to Phillips 66 reaching $3.2 billion for the quarter and $3.7 billion for the six-month period. This represents a significant turnaround from the net loss of $358 million reported for the same period in 2021. The substantial improvement is primarily attributed to robust performance in the Refining segment, driven by significantly wider market crack spreads, and strong results in the Marketing and Specialties segment, benefiting from higher marketing fuel margins. Despite a challenging environment marked by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and inflationary pressures, the company successfully navigated increased commodity prices. The successful completion of the merger with Phillips 66 Partners LP in March 2022 also contributed to operational and financial efficiencies. Phillips 66 generated substantial operating cash flow and is actively managing its debt levels, demonstrating a solid financial position and a focus on shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases.
