Filed November 3, 2023For Securities:PSX

Summary

Phillips 66 reported solid financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2023, demonstrating resilience in a dynamic energy market. Net income attributable to Phillips 66 was $2.1 billion for the third quarter and $5.8 billion for the nine-month period, a decrease compared to the prior year primarily due to a significant gain recognized in the prior year from the DCP Midstream Merger and lower refining margins. The company continues to execute on its strategic priorities, including enhancing shareholder returns with an increased target for share repurchases and dividends, aiming to return between $13 billion and $15 billion from July 2022 through year-end 2024. Significant progress has been made on cost structure improvements, with updated targets for run-rate cost reduction and sustaining capital reduction expected by the end of 2024. Furthermore, Phillips 66 is progressing with its renewable fuels initiatives, including the conversion of its Rodeo refinery, and is actively managing its portfolio through the planned disposition of non-core assets to generate over $3 billion in proceeds. Liquidity remains strong, with $3.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter. The company's financial health is underpinned by consistent cash generation from operations, strategic debt management, and a robust credit facility. Management remains focused on long-term shareholder value creation through operational efficiency, strategic investments, and capital discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions

The decrease in net income for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to the absence of a significant before-tax gain of approximately $3 billion recognized in the third quarter of 2022 related to the DCP Midstream Merger, and lower realized refining margins. These factors were partially offset by lower income tax expenses.

Phillips 66 has increased its target for returns to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends to a range of $13 billion to $15 billion from July 2022 through year-end 2024. They plan to return at least 50% of net cash provided by operating activities to shareholders and recently approved a $5 billion increase to their share repurchase authorization.

Phillips 66 is making significant progress on its business transformation initiative. They are on track to exceed their initial targets for cost reduction and sustaining capital reduction by the end of 2023 and are now targeting an $1.1 billion annual run-rate cost reduction and a $300 million sustaining capital reduction by the end of 2024.
