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 2012 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 year’s data has been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the 2013 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, 2013, 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, 2013, 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. 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 $7,523 million at March 31, 2013, and $8,027 million at December 31, 2012, as compared to recorded book values of $7,061 million at March 31, 2013, and $7,497 million at December 31, 2012. 

 

The fair value of long-term debt by hierarchy level at March 31, 2013, is: Level 1 $6,154 million; Level 2 $1,303 million; and Level 3 $66 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 2013 RESULTS

 

ExxonMobil achieved strong results during the first quarter of 2013, while investing significantly to develop new energy supplies.  ExxonMobil’s financial performance enables continued investment to deliver the energy needed to help meet growing demand, support economic growth, and raise living standards around the world.

 

First quarter 2013 earnings were $9.5 billion, up 1 percent from the first quarter of 2012.

 

Capital and exploration expenditures for the first quarter were $11.8 billion, including $3.1 billion for the acquisition of Celtic Exploration Ltd.

 

The Corporation distributed $7.6 billion to shareholders in the first quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

Upstream earnings for the first three months were $7,037 million, down $765 million from the first quarter of 2012.  Lower liquids realizations, partially offset by improved natural gas realizations, decreased earnings by $230 million.  Production volume and mix effects reduced earnings by $280 million.  All other items, including higher operating expenses, decreased earnings by $250 million.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased 3.5 percent from the first quarter of 2012.  Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production decreased 1.2 percent.

 

Liquids production totaled 2,193 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), down 21 kbd from the first quarter of 2012 as field decline was partially offset by project ramp-up in West Africa.  The net impact of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects, and divestments was negligible.

 

First quarter natural gas production was 13,213 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), down 823 mcfd from 2012.  Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes and divestments, natural gas production was down 1.5 percent, as field decline was partially offset by lower downtime and higher demand.

 

Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $859 million, $151 million lower than the first quarter of 2012.  Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $6,178 million, down $614 million from the prior year.

Earnings from the U.S. Downstream were $1,039 million, up $436 million from the first quarter of 2012.  Non-U.S. Downstream earnings of $506 million were $477 million lower than last year.

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider asset sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities.

  

Total cash and cash equivalents of $6.6 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2013 compared to $19.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

 

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $13.6 billion for the first three months of 2013, $5.7 billion lower than 2012. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $9.8 billion which was flat with the prior year period.  The adjustment for the noncash provision of $4.1 billion for depreciation and depletion increased by $0.3 billion.  Changes in operational working capital added to cash flows in both periods.  All other items net in 2013 decreased cash by $2.6 billion.  For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 6.

 

Investing activities for the first three months of 2013 used net cash of $10.1 billion, an increase of $4.7 billion compared to the prior year.  Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment decreased $0.3 billion to $7.5 billion.  Proceeds from asset sales of $0.4 billion, decreased $2.2 billion.  Additional investment and advances increased $2.9 billion to $3.0 billion reflecting the impact of the acquisition of Celtic Exploration Ltd.

 

Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first quarter of 2013 of $14.0 billion, including asset sales of $0.4 billion, decreased $7.8 billion from the comparable 2012 period. 

 

Net cash used in financing activities of $6.7 billion in the first three months of 2013 was $1.4 lower than 2012, reflecting short-term debt issuance in 2013. 

 

During the first quarter of 2013, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 63 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $5.6 billion.  These purchases included $5 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 4,502 million at year-end 2012 to 4,446 million at the end of the first quarter 2013.  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.

The Corporation distributed to shareholders a total of $7.6 billion in the first quarter of 2013 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

 

Total debt of $13.4 billion compared to $11.6 billion at year-end 2012.  The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 7.2 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2013 compared to 6.3 percent at year-end 2012. 

 

Although the Corporation issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains a revolving commercial paper program, internally generated funds are expected to cover the majority of its net near-term financial requirements

 

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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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 2012 Form 10-K.  We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

 

The term “project” as used in this report does not necessarily have the same meaning as under SEC Rule 13q-1 relating to government payment reporting.  For example, a single project for purposes of the rule may encompass numerous properties, agreements, investments, developments, phases, work efforts, activities, and components, each of which we may also informally describe as a “project”.

 

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2013, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2012.

 

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, 2013.  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

 

With regard to a matter previously reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2011, in April 2013, the Corporation, without admitting liability, signed an Agreed Final Judgment with Harris County, Texas, which, upon entry by the court, and without constituting an adjudication of a violation by ExxonMobil, will resolve alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at the Corporation’s Baytown Olefins Plant and Baytown Refinery in Texas in 2011. Under the Agreed Judgment, the Corporation would pay a penalty of $277,500 and $150,000 in reimbursement of attorney fees incurred by Harris County and the State of Texas.

 

On March 25, 2013, ExxonMobil Pipeline Company (EMPCo) received from the U. S. Department of Transportation Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty and Proposed Compliance Order alleging violations of the federal Pipeline Safety Regulations in connection with the July 1, 2011, discharge of crude oil into the Yellowstone River from EMPCo’s Silvertip Pipeline near Laurel, Montana. PHMSA is proposing to assess a $1.7 million civil penalty in connection with this matter and to require additional training of certain EMPCo personnel. EMPCo is contesting the allegations and the proposed penalty and compliance order and has requested a hearing on this matter.

 

On January 24, 2013, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that it was seeking civil penalties in excess of $100,000 against ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (EMOC) to resolve alleged reporting violations in connection with EMOC’s Torrance Refinery’s receipt of an “adverse verification” on its 2011 California Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Report.   EMOC has agreed to settlement terms with CARB which, upon the execution of a final agreement, would require EMOC to pay a penalty of $120,000 and submit to CARB an updated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Plan complying with California law. Execution of a final agreement is currently anticipated by May 2013.

 

On January 30, 2013, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) issued a Notice of Enforcement and Proposed Agreed Order alleging that during three emission events in May and June 2012, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation’s (EMOC) Beaumont Refinery violated provisions of the Texas Health and Safety Code and the Texas Water Code.  TCEQ has proposed a penalty of $188,125.  EMOC is in discussions with TCEQ in an attempt to resolve the matter.

 

In March 2013, the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDOH) contacted XTO Energy Inc. (XTO) concerning alleged violations of the North Dakota Air Pollution Control Act and implementing regulations in connection with air permitting and emissions controls for XTO’s oil and gas facilities and flares located in the Bakken Pool in North Dakota.  NDDOH is seeking a civil penalty in excess of $100,000 along with various corrective actions.  XTO is negotiating with NDDOH to resolve the open issues.

 

On March 29, 2013, a breach in the Pegasus Pipeline, owned and operated by affiliates of the Corporation, resulted in a release of oil in Mayflower, Arkansas. The Arkansas Attorney General has initiated an investigation. ExxonMobil Pipeline Company is cooperating fully with all federal, state and local authorities and continues active response operations.

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 April 25, 2013, the Corporation stated that second quarter 2013 share purchases to reduce shares outstanding are anticipated to equal $4 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.
