CORPORATE 2 Exxon Mobil Corporation
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Understanding energy supply and demand trends is a critical element of ExxonMobils strategic planning process. For several decades, we have produced a comprehensive worldwide energy outlook that typically covers 20 years into the future.
World Energy Needs Are Growing
Energy use and economic growth are closely linked, and growing economies will continue to require reliable energy supplies.
Economic growth is expected to remain the primary driver of energy demand. We expect the worlds economy will grow on average at about 3 percent per year through 2020, more slowly in developed countries and faster in developing nations.
Developing nations are expected to generate about 80 percent of the worldwide growth in energy demand from 2000 through 2020. Meeting this growing need for energy presents a vital opportunity. About one-quarter of the worlds population has no access to electricity and close to 40 percent rely on biomass for cooking and heating. Modern energy is critical for raising living standards in developing nations through better health, education, and productivity.
By 2020, we expect that the world in total will require about 40 percent more energy than in 2000, or close to 290 million barrels of oil-equivalent energy every single day, despite continuing conservation efforts and efficiency gains.
From a historical perspective, energy efficiency has improved dramatically. For example, industrialized nations now use about one-third less energy for each $1,000 of economic output than in 1970. We expect continuing worldwide efficiency gains of about 1 percent per year due to improved vehicles, power plants, construction standards, and other actions.
Oil and Gas Will Remain Predominant Energy Sources
Meeting higher energy demands will require a broad portfolio of energy options. We anticipate that hydrocarbon fuels will remain the dominant energy source through the middle of the century.
Oil and gas are expected to remain essential to economic growth throughout the world. Their share of the worlds energy supply close to 60 percent today is expected to remain relatively stable over the next two decades. The economic advantages of these primary energy sources will continue as resources exist in sufficient quantity to meet the worlds growing demand.
Energy sources other than oil and gas will be important to meet world demand.
| Coal will grow, driven by strong demand in China and India and continued growth in the U.S. | |||
| Hydropower and nuclear power will also grow, though public opposition and the lack of suitable sites will limit capacity. |
We expect wind and solar energy to average double-digit growth rates through 2020, supported by continued public subsidies. However, because wind and solar energy start from a very small base, they are likely to provide only about one-half of 1 percent of the worlds energy in 2020.
Carbon emissions associated with energy use are expected to continue to rise through 2020. About 80 percent of the emissions growth is expected to occur in developing nations, a factor to be considered in approaches to reduce global emissions.

Industry Outlook (continued)
Transportation Needs Drive Growing Oil Demand
About 60 percent of the expected increase in oil demand stems from growing transportation needs, reflecting a steady increase in the number of vehicles per capita as personal incomes rise. This is particularly significant in developing countries, which will account for about 75 percent of the increase in transportation demand.
Helping offset the growth in vehicle miles traveled are continuing advances in automotive technologies. Todays gasoline internal combustion engine (ICE) represents the competitive standard, and new approaches are being researched by ExxonMobil and automobile companies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
While there are a number of promising emerging technologies, continued advances in ICE technologies, including hybrids, will provide significant gains for fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emission levels. In 2020, we believe essentially all automobiles will continue to use an ICE, and so we will continue to engage in developments that will make these technologies more efficient.
| ICE research is underway to better understand the complex interactions between the blend of molecules in gasoline or diesel fuel and an engine. This research will help optimize future fuel/engine systems for higher efficiency and lower emissions. | |||
| A second path, called homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), involves new combustion technologies that have attributes of both gasoline spark ignition and diesel compression ignition. Advances through research could lead to 30 percent better fuel efficiency as compared to current gasoline-fueled engines, and a significant reduction in smog-causing emissions and carbon dioxide. | |||
| Another promising extension of ICE technology is hybrid-vehicle technology. Hybrids use a gasoline engine for steady speeds and an electric motor for extra power during the more energy demanding phases of start-up and acceleration. In city driving, where this technology has major advantages, these vehicles deliver a fuel economy improvement of more than 50 percent. Models using this technology are on the road today. |
For the longer term, there is significant research underway related to automotive fuel cell systems powered by hydrogen. Hydrogen is abundant, and therefore appealing, but as it is not found freely in nature, it requires energy to produce it. Technical and economic issues related to the cost, safe distribution, and widespread use of hydrogen remain significant challenges.
Natural Gas Emerging as a Global Market
Over the next two decades, we expect natural gas will be the fastest growing primary energy source, capturing about one-third of all incremental energy growth and approaching one-quarter of global energy supplies. Driving this demand is the fact that natural gas remains the primary fuel of choice to meet worldwide electricity demand growth of about 3 percent per year.
As natural gas demand grows, inter-regional trade is expected to more than triple by 2020, increasing to about 18 percent of total demand. Effective international cooperation, as well as significant investments to sustain and enhance natural gas production and transportation systems, will be critical to achieving this growth
Corporate 4 Exxon Mobil Corporation
An area of significant interest is development of a world-wide liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. We expect the LNG market to quadruple by 2020, accounting for about 13 percent of total world gas demand. With equity positions in many of the largest gas accumulations in the world, we are strongly positioned to benefit from our technology advances in gas liquefaction, transportation, and regasification that enable distant gas supplies to reach markets economically.
Growing Oil and Gas Demand Requires New Supplies
Meeting growing oil and gas demand will be a challenge. Nevertheless, abundant resources exist. According to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates, the conventional recoverable liquid resource base is about 3 trillion barrels of oil. In addition, there are significant unconventional resources including extra heavy oil, oil sands, and other resources. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has compiled estimates that indicate there are over 4.3 trillion barrels of unconventional oil resources in place. To put this volume into perspective, a total of less than 1 trillion barrels of petroleum has been produced since the 1800s.
New technologies will continue to extend the recoverable liquid hydrocarbon resource, as demonstrated in the past by improvements in 3D seismic imaging and reservoir modeling, advanced drilling, and arctic and deepwater resource development. In fact, according to the USGS, despite production of more than 400 billion barrels since 1980, remaining recoverable oil resources are more than 70 percent higher now versus 1980.
The ongoing task is to find, produce, and deliver this energy. By 2020, the industry will likely need to add about 125 million barrels of oil-equivalent per day to meet demand an amount close to current production levels. Development of these supplies will require access to resources, continued technology advances, adequate financing, and the cooperation of host governments. New technology will also enable unconventional resources to contribute to future energy supplies.
The costs to develop these resources are large. According to the IEAs World Energy Investment Outlook 2003 report, the investment required to meet total energy needs worldwide through 2030 will be $16 trillion with about 38 percent, or $200 billion per year, required for oil and gas.
ExxonMobil, with its industry leading resource base, financial strength, disciplined investment approach, and technology portfolio, is well positioned to participate in substantial investments to develop new energy supplies. Our strong base will provide us with a sustainable competitive advantage and help us remain at the forefront in capitalizing on the opportunities ahead.

Upholding the Highest Ethical Standards and Business Integrity
ExxonMobil has long recognized the importance and value of sound corporate governance, high ethical standards and business integrity. We believe that the methods we employ to attain results are as important as the results themselves. We are committed to candor, honesty, and integrity in the reports that we make to our investors. Those messages are included in our Standards of Business Conduct, which has been widely communicated to our employees for decades. ExxonMobil employees and non-employee directors are expected to review the policies in our Standards of Business Conduct periodically and to apply them to all aspects of their work. Our straightforward business model, Standards of Business Conduct and culture of integrity and legal compliance are key to achieving long-term sustainable results.
Ensuring Safe, Environmentally Sound Operations
ExxonMobil is committed to maintaining high standards of safety, health, and environmental care. We comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, and apply responsible standards where laws and regulations do not exist. We believe that when a company is committed to safety, health, and the environment, as we are, this provides the sound foundation for all aspects of the business, and helps to deliver superior financial results. In 2003, ExxonMobil set another record in employee safety performance, and again led the industry in this area.
Capturing Quality Investment Opportunities While Maintaining a Selective and Disciplined Approach
ExxonMobil applies a highly disciplined approach in selecting and pursuing the most attractive investment opportunities. Ours is a long-term business where large capital investments are required. Potential investment opportunities are tested over a wide range of economic scenarios to establish the resiliency of each opportunity. Our disciplined approach continues through execution of all phases of the investment from design through start-up and ongoing operations. Once investments are made, a rigorous reappraisal process is completed to ensure relevant lessons are learned and improvements are incorporated into future projects. This rigorous approach ensures that we obtain the maximum value for our investments, and clearly distinguishes us from competition.
ExxonMobil views return on capital employed as the most critical and best measure of historical capital productivity in our capital-intensive, long-term industry. ExxonMobil has a long history of leadership in return on capital employed. The combination of our disciplined investments and operational excellence eliminates the need for periodic large asset write-offs and leads to consistent industry-leading returns throughout the business cycles. In 2003, ExxonMobil remained the industry leader in return on capital employed, with a return of 20.9 percent.

Optimizing Financial Performance Through Geographic and Functional Portfolio Diversity and Integration
ExxonMobils size, geographic diversity, and the complementary nature of our businesses provide a natural hedge and mitigate the Corporations sensitivity to fluctuations in commodity prices, business cycles, and individual market conditions. In addition, by taking advantage of synergies among our various businesses, including physical integration of manufacturing facilities, ExxonMobil is able to optimize total company performance. For example, over 80 percent of our refining capacity is integrated with chemical and/or lubricant manufacturing operations. This integration provides competitive advantages through improved feedstock flexibility and lower site operating costs.
ExxonMobil is well positioned in established markets
and is expanding in higher-growth regions.
Maintaining a Strong Financial Position to Allow for the Pursuit of All Profitable Opportunities
ExxonMobils financial strength provides a competitive advantage that enables us to pursue any and all profitable investment opportunities that achieve acceptable returns around the world. ExxonMobil is one of few U.S. companies with a triple-A credit rating, a rating that has been sustained for 85 years. Strong business results and our disciplined approach to financial management ensure we maintain this financial strength at any stage of the industry cycle.
We rely on our geographic and functional diversity to reduce our financial exposure. As a result, the company seldom uses derivatives to hedge corporate risk and never uses them to speculate.

Leveraging Efficiency Gains Through Our Global Functional Organization
ExxonMobil is organized to operate our functional business lines on a global basis. Through this functional organization, global opportunities are ranked and people are deployed to ever-changing business conditions. The functional organization also helps to promptly identify and prioritize high-impact technology needs, and it facilitates rapid sharing of ideas and best practices across our global organizations.
ExxonMobils functional approach continues to deliver savings to the bottom line through operating cost efficiencies and revenue enhancement opportunities. In 2003, ExxonMobil delivered more than $1.0 billion in before-tax operating cost efficiencies.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES BUILD SHAREHOLDER VALUE
Strong Cash Flow Results from Business Approach
ExxonMobil generated $30.8 billion in cash flow from operations and asset sales in 2003. We distributed more than $11.5 billion to shareholders through dividend payments and share purchases. In addition, we invested $15.5 billion in capital and exploration expenditures. And finally, the company repaid debt obligations where it was economically attractive to do so, reducing debt outstanding to $9.5 billion by year-end 2003. Cash balances were over $10.6 billion at year-end 2003. Our strong financial position allows us to pursue any and all profitable investment opportunities that achieve acceptable returns.
ExxonMobils Approach Grows Shareholder Value
ExxonMobils core, fundamental objective is long-term growth in shareholder value. Our business strategies form the basis of ExxonMobils commitment to deliver superior shareholder value through growing dividends and long-term share price appreciation. Dividends paid per share have increased in each of the last 21 years, an unmatched record among international oil companies, reaching $0.98 per share in 2003. During 2003, we distributed more than $6.5 billion through dividend payments and increased share purchases to $5.0 billion (excluding spending to offset share issuance under benefit plans). The combination of dividends and share purchases represented a total yield of about 4.9 percent of the companys equity market capitalization at the beginning of the year. During the last three years, $33 billion in dividends and share buybacks have been distributed to shareholders, representing 11 percent of ExxonMobils year-end 2000 market value.
Total shareholder return on ExxonMobil stock has consistently outpaced the S&P 500 index over the long-term. ExxonMobil shareholders have earned annualized returns of 13.3 percent and 16.2 percent during the last 10 and 20 years, respectively, compared with returns from the S&P 500 index of 11.1 percent and 13.0 percent in the same time periods.
The volatility of ExxonMobils stock price, a measure of the fluctuation of monthly returns around its average and one indicator of risk, equaled the volatility of the broadly diversified S&P 500 during the past 20 years, and has been well below that of our industry peers during that same time period.

DISCIPLINED MANAGEMENT OF ANNUITY PLANS
ExxonMobil and its affiliates manage more than 100 pension plans. The funding arrangement for each plan depends on the prevailing practices and regulations of the countries where the company operates. In countries where the prevailing practice is to fund most pension obligations through separate assets or insurance arrangements, such as in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, our plans meet or exceed the required funding levels as measured by relevant actuarial and government standards at the mandated measurement dates. In addition, all defined benefit pension plans, regardless of funding status, are fully supported by the financial strength of the Corporation or the sponsoring affiliate.
Our approach to managing the financial assets associated with these plans is consistent with the core principles followed in all ExxonMobil businesses. Our fund management reflects careful assessment of risks of various asset classes, diversification to minimize the portfolios risk, and a long-term orientation.
ExxonMobil is a capital-intensive, rather than a labor-intensive business. Pension expense represented only 4 percent of total operating costs in 2003. Pension expense is calculated based on U.S. GAAP, which requires certain assumptions, such as discount rate and long-term expected earnings. Assumptions are developed conservatively, are reviewed by third-party actuaries and senior management, and are well within the range of peer practice and actual experience. The long-term earning rate assumption for 2004 is 9 percent for the U.S. pension plan, the same as in 2003. Returns over the past 10- and 20-year periods were 11 and 12 percent, respectively.

Safety, Health & Environment 2003 HIGHLIGHTS Record fewest safety incidents Fewest environmental spills Best energy efficiency performance in our refining business Guiding Principle ExxonMobil is committed to maintaining high standards of safety, health, and environmental care. We comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, and apply responsible standards where laws and regulations do not exist. Energy and chemicals are essential to society. ExxonMobil has shown that we can produce these valuable products while protecting the health and safety of people, and safeguarding the environment. Our goal is to drive injuries, illnesses, and operational incidents as close to zero as possible.
ExxonMobil is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by progressing breakthrough technology, such as in advanced fuels, fuel cells, and new combustion technology. Researchers utilize lasers to analyze the composition of a hydrocarbon flame to improve the efficiency and reduce the emissions from internal combustion engines.
Risk Management and Security
Risks are inherent in the energy and petrochemical businesses, including risks associated with safety, health, and the environment. ExxonMobil recognizes these risks and takes a systematic managed approach to mitigate their impact. In fact, the same rigor and discipline that underpins our investment program are also used in our approach to the management of our performance in safety, health, and the environment. ExxonMobils commitment is also supported by our investment in related science and technology, which will help improve our safety, health, and environmental performance.
Our Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) is the primary tool that we use to conduct our operations and to assess and improve our safety, health, and environmental performance. OIMS enables us to measure our progress in these areas, plan future improvements and ensure management accountability for results. OIMS is designed to drive all operational incidents as close to zero as possible. OIMS also conforms with the International Standards Organizations standard for environmental management systems (ISO 14001).
ExxonMobil has had a long-standing commitment to the protection of its people, facilities, information, and other assets. Security measures take into account perceived risk, cost and practicality, compliance with applicable laws, and recognition of social norms. To ensure that the Corporations expectations are met, security is being fully integrated into OIMS.
ExxonMobils technology helps improve our safety, health, and environmental performance.
Safety and Health
ExxonMobil has long been an energy industry leader in safety performance. We are committed to the highest standards of safety, health, and environmental performance. We believe that providing a safe work environment for our employees contributes to and is indicative of superior performance in other aspects of our operations.
In 2003, we had the fewest number of safety incidents in ExxonMobil history. We remain committed to learn from all incidents to achieve our goal that nobody gets hurt.
Environment
ExxonMobil is committed to continuously improving our environmental performance. We demonstrated a record fewest number of marine and total spill incidents in 2003. Our business units around the world develop detailed environmental business plans to identify and manage environmental risks and issues within local business plans and decisions.
We are taking a number of significant actions to improve our efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our operations and in customer use of our products. For example, in the near-term, we are capturing significant energy efficiency improvements with our Global Energy Management System (GEMS) and cogeneration investments. In fact, we demonstrated a record-best energy efficiency performance in our refining business in 2003. ExxonMobil is an industry leader in the use of cogeneration, a much more efficient way to make steam and power than by conventional processes. We currently have interests in over 80 cogeneration facilities that produce nearly 2,900 megawatts of electricity. We are adding another $1 billion of investments that will increase our cogeneration capacity by another 30 percent by the end of 2005. We also worked with industry trade organizations to develop consistent greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement methodology and a transparent reporting format in order to report GHG emissions.
We are actively preparing to meet GHG regulatory requirements that are coming into effect in Europe and to participate in emissions trading as needed to ensure compliance.
In the longer term, we are progressing technologies that will significantly reduce emissions from the use of our products by our customers. The majority of GHG emissions arise from consumer use of fuels (87 percent), with the remainder from petroleum industry operations (13 percent). We are working with automobile manufacturers, universities, and government agencies to develop advanced fuels, fuel cells, and new combustion technologies. We are committed to further develop breakthrough technology to reduce GHG emissions through research projects, including initiating the largest privately funded academic technology initiative in history the Global Climate and Energy Project (G-CEP) led by Stanford University. For more information, refer to the web site http://gcep.stanford.edu/.
As a leading supplier of clean-burning natural gas, ExxonMobil is well positioned to contribute to efforts to address greenhouse gas emissions through fuel switching. Natural gas is both cleaner burning and emits less GHG than oil or coal. The substitution of natural gas for coal in electricity generation is one of the most significant opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions economically.

Exxon Mobil Corporation 19 Safety, Health & Environment
Technology
ExxonMobils unparalleled commitment to the development and application of industry-leading technologies provides the business with opportunities to discover, produce, refine, and market oil and gas resources not available to competitors. Our technology development efforts are matched to our business needs through a rigorous prioritization and stewardship process that ensures decisions are based on sound technical and economic evaluation. Our emphasis is on proprietary research. We balance our investment between technology extensions, which can be rapidly deployed to our existing operations, and breakthrough research that can have a significant and lasting impact on the Corporation and industry.
UPSTREAM TECHNOLOGY
Broadest Portfolio of Upstream Technologies
ExxonMobil maintains the industrys largest proprietary upstream technology research and development effort, investing more than $200 million annually. These technologies support the full spectrum of upstream activities, from earliest exploration to enhanced recovery and field depletion and are applied to the full range of the worlds largest and most diverse upstream portfolio.
We maintain industry leadership in all of the fundamental technical elements of the upstream business such as basin analysis; seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation; reservoir modeling and simulation; drilling, and facilities design, and gas commercialization technologies through dedicated ongoing research efforts. Initiatives on promising new breakthrough technologies are pursued when ideas with extraordinary potential are identified.
Sediment deposition tank at the Upstream Research Company. ExxonMobil pioneers technologies for integrating laboratory experiments, numerical models, and knowledge of modern environments. If successful, these innovative techniques could lead to more accurate predictions of the distribution of reservoir rock properties in the subsurface and lower the cost of finding and developing new fields.
Optimum Technology Deployment
ExxonMobils Upstream functional organization enables the most effective, lowest cost, and timely deployment of technology to all of our projects worldwide. Rigorous processes within the Upstream functional companies ensure that every project plan appropriately incorporates the latest technologies. Each company has active learning processes in place to rapidly gather and disseminate technical best practices to leverage ExxonMobils unparalleled experience.
Training on a continuous basis is a cornerstone of ExxonMobils commitment to the development and application of cutting-edge technologies. A new 100 thousand square foot Upstream Training Center in Houston, Texas, is scheduled for completion in mid-2004. This new, state-of-the-art facility will help ensure that our employees are equipped to effectively apply the latest technology to ExxonMobil assets worldwide.
Gas versus liquids prediction. Developing a three-dimensional understanding of a basin, including hydrocarbon sources, migration pathways, trapping elements, and reservoirs provides focus and efficiency to exploration efforts and has long been a key component of ExxonMobils Upstream research. ExxonMobils proprietary Stellar basin-modeling software has been combined with other technologies to generate a process for more accurately predicting the types of hydrocarbons that might be present in a prospect. This capability has influenced drilling programs in west Africa and elsewhere, helping reduce the overall risk of drilling an uneconomic well.
Early Production System (EPS) at Xikomba in Angola Block 15.ExxonMobil is an industry leader in the use of an EPS.EPSs are used by ExxonMobil to accelerate production from new discoveries months or years ahead of more traditional, full field installations.ExxonMobils unique functional organization recognized the opportunity, identified the technology elements, and efficiently deployed EPSs at three fields in west Africa during late 2002 and 2003.
New Opportunities Through Upstream Technology
Superior technology, applied across each of the companys business functions, has created profitable new opportunities. Capabilities, such as those that enable the recognition of new prospects, the ability to drill and produce in ever deeper and more hostile environments, and those that improve the recovery of unconventional resources are creating entirely new business opportunities worldwide. New technology developments that reduce cost and development cycle time not only improve overall profitability, but make previously high-cost resources competitive. ExxonMobils broad portfolio of upstream technology is a critical advantage in competing for upstream opportunities in resource-rich countries.
Tight gas stimulation research. ExxonMobil has developed and patented new techniques to rapidly stimulate large vertical intervals (several thousand feet) in wellbores to reduce the cost of producing gas from low permeability reservoirs. ExxonMobil has also successfully applied and further optimized the technology of employing multiple fracture treatments in deep horizontal wells.It has been proven as a feasible technique to develop extremely tight and deep gas formations where vertical wells with massive hydraulic fractures are not economic.Continued success in the development and refinement of these techniques could enable the profitable production of significant volumes of natural gas in the western United States and elsewhere. Large membrane LNG carrier. ExxonMobil has pioneered LNG production and transportation capabilities that will reduce the unit cost of LNG by over 30 percent relative to current technology.These cost reductions have been a result of larger (+60 percent), more efficient manufacturing trains and larger ships (+40 percent). To fully capture the cost advantage of these large ships, ExxonMobil performed state-of-the-art testing and analytical work to validate the feasibility of membrane tanks that are larger than those presently used by industry.As a result of cost efficiencies, the Corporation is expanding the profitable range of LNG deliveries from Qatar, where ExxonMobil has been working with Qatar Petroleum to develop the North Field, the worlds largest non-associated gas field. Sakhalin drilling operations. The ability to operate cost effectively in harsh arctic environments will be increasingly important in the future.More than 25 years of arctic technology development and experience supports the profitable development of resources in remote areas such as offshore Sakhalin Island, Russia.ExxonMobil technology contributed to the design of an ice-resistant offshore platform.

RESOURCES AND PROVED RESERVES
Resource Base
The size, quality and breadth of ExxonMobils total inventory of discovered oil and gas resources are major strengths of the company. ExxonMobils discovered resource base now stands at 72 billion oil-equivalent barrels (31 percent proved). It has grown by over 25 percent, or over 15 billion oil-equivalent barrels, during the last 10 years.
The resource base is updated annually to add new discoveries and resource acquisitions and to reflect any changes in estimates of existing resources. ExxonMobil refers to new discoveries and acquisitions of discovered, but undeveloped, resources as new field resource additions. The company includes only those resources it believes are likely to be produced in the future. Adjustments to existing field resources reflect changes in recovery expectations resulting from new technologies and any other revisions (positive or negative) resulting from field drilling and ongoing evaluation. During the update process, volumes produced or sold during the year are removed from the resource base.
Resources are classified as either proved or non-proved. Non-proved resources are moved to proved reserves once technical and commercial confidence support a development decision.
Resource base, resources, recoverable oil, recoverable hydrocarbons, recoverable resources: include quantities of oil and gas that may not yet be classified as proved reserves, but are likely to be moved to proved reserves and produced in the future.
Proved oil and gas reserves: estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geologic and engineering data show will be recoverable with reasonable certainty given existing economic and operating conditions (i.e., prices and costs at the date of the estimate). ExxonMobil records proved reserves in conjunction with significant funding commitments made toward the development of the reserves.
| Includes 100 percent of majority-owned affiliates proved reserves. | |||
| Includes ExxonMobils percentage ownership of equity company proved reserves. | |||
| Condensate is included in crude oil reserves. | |||
| Can only consider price changes provided for by existing contracts. | |||
| Can assume substantial new investment will be required. |
In this report, we include proven reserves from Syncrude tar sands operations in Canada as part of our total proved reserves. Syncrude reserves are reported separately as a mining operation in SEC filings.
Reserve bookings for certain deepwater fields may be made prior to conducting flow tests due to safety and cost implications of such tests. In those situations, other industry-accepted analyses are used.
Proved developed reserves: volumes recoverable through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Proved undeveloped reserves: volumes expected to be recovered as a result of future investments.
Upstream 28 Exxon Mobil Corporation
Proved Reserves
At year-end 2003, the resource base included 22 billion oil-equivalent barrels of proved oil and gas reserves. ExxonMobil added 1.7 billion oil-equivalent barrels to proved reserves in 2003, while producing 1.6 billion oil-equivalent barrels, and replacing 107 percent of reserves produced, excluding sales. Including sales and Syncrude production, we replaced 105 percent of reserves produced. This is the 10th consecutive year that the companys reserves replacement has exceeded 100 percent.
Excluding sales, the company has added 19 billion oil-equivalent barrels to proved reserves over the last 10 years (18 billion oil-equivalent barrels including sales), more than replacing production. Over the last five years, reserves have been added at an average replacement cost of $4.77 per oil-equivalent barrel.
ExxonMobil has consistently made net upward revisions to estimates of proved reserves in existing fields. These revisions have averaged 662 million oil-equivalent barrels per year over the last five years, and have resulted from effective reservoir management and the application of new technology. In 2003, upward revisions were made at fields such as Zafiro in Equatorial Guinea, Guntong in Malaysia, Yoho in Nigeria, and Groningen in the Netherlands.
Development drilling in 2003 within existing fields is expected to add 603 million oil-equivalent barrels of reserves at a cost of less than $3.15 per oil-equivalent barrel.
The development of new fields discovered through exploration and extensions of existing fields has added 1 billion oil-equivalent barrels per year to proved reserves over the past five years. These include proved additions in 2003 in the United Kingdom, Norway, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Russia, Angola, and Azerbaijan.
ExxonMobils proved reserve base of 22 billion oil-equivalent barrels equates to a reserve life at current production rates of nearly 14 years.

UPSTREAM OVERVIEW
Global Gas and Power Marketing
To capitalize on growing gas markets, ExxonMobils Gas and Power Marketing Company has a global focus and clear mandate to add value from the gas source through to the customer.
The objectives are to:
| Identify, develop, and capture markets to support the growth of equity natural gas volumes | |||
| Maximize the value of natural gas, natural gas liquids, helium, CO2, power sales, and assets | |||
| Minimize delivered cost of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and power |
Leveraging Global Expertise to Maximize Value
ExxonMobil is the worlds largest nongovernment marketer of equity (own production) gas. Sales of equity production in 2003 exceeded 10 billion cubic feet per day, and total gas sales were almost 16 billion cubic feet per day. Our steps to focus on selling equity production gas have resulted in lower total gas sales, since we reduced our purchase and resale volumes, which historically occurred through participation in Ruhrgas AG and other activities. Sales were made in over 25 countries and across five continents, in every major gas market in the world. The company participated in LNG joint ventures with a combined gross capacity of 22 million metric tons per year, nearly 20 percent of global industry capacity, making ExxonMobil one of the largest LNG suppliers in the world.
ExxonMobil has access to a broad portfolio of both established gas resources, which are close to existing gas markets, and new gas field developments that will be commercialized to meet growing demand in both mature and emerging markets. The total resource base is 182 trillion cubic feet of net discovered resources (including 55 trillion cubic feet of proved reserves), which provides a solid foundation for profitable growth.
The company has leading-edge LNG, gas-to-liquids, gas pipeline, and power generation technologies. In addition, the company is pursuing industry-first technology aimed at expanding opportunities for commercializing natural gas. Our expertise in integrating these advanced technologies with global market requirements, strong financial position, and our understanding of transportation networks, project economics, and regulatory structures provides a substantial competitive advantage. The ability to participate effectively in nearly all sectors of the gas business around the world is essential to optimizing a substantial base business and commercializing our large remote resources in an ever-changing market.
ExxonMobil has significant holdings in the electric power business, with interests in nearly 13,300 megawatts of generation capacity, including 2,900 megawatts of cogeneration. In addition, more than 800 megawatts of cogeneration are currently under construction. We also have created a power Center of Expertise to efficiently manage our spending on energy, evaluate new opportunities for generation, especially cogeneration, and assist in gas monetization initiatives.
Exxon Mobil Corporation 31 Upstream
NORTH AMERICA
ExxonMobil has the industrys largest portfolio of proved reserves and production in North America. North American operations contributed about 36 percent of ExxonMobils 2003 worldwide production on an oil-equivalent basis and 37 percent of Upstream earnings.
United States
ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas producers and reserve holders in the United States. The companys well-established portfolio is geographically diverse with significant positions in all major producing regions including Alaska, onshore Gulf Coast, shelf and deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, onshore and offshore California, and the mid-continent region. U.S. properties contributed 23 percent of the companys net oil and gas production in 2003 and accounted for 23 percent of proved reserves at year end.
The U.S. Upstream continues to provide a significant contribution to ExxonMobil profitability through a sizable but selective drilling program, investments in the existing base, as well as in attractive new projects, and continued operational efficiency improvements. Technology and quality reservoir management enhance the long-term performance of each field. Base production decline is mitigated through active workover and development drilling programs. In 2003, this program included the drilling of nearly 1,300 wells (gross). We continue to focus on divesting mature, higher-cost properties to prioritize our resources on the highest-value opportunities.
In 2003, further operational efficiencies were realized through the consolidation of the companys United States production activities into one organization.
Development of this deepwater discovery (water depth 6,300 feet) in the central Gulf of Mexico will include a semi-submersible floating production, drilling, and quarters unit with up to 20 direct access subsea wells plus additional subsea wells connected from locations nearby. Oil exports will occur via the joint-venture Proteus and Endymion pipeline systems to southern Louisiana. Drilling and construction activities are underway, with start-up projected for 2005. Thunder Horse High-pressure acid gas injection will replace existing sulfur recovery units at the Shute Creek Treating Facility in La Barge, Wyoming. Currently under construction, the project includes two injection wells and a 110 megawatt power cogeneration unit.

Also offshore Newfoundland, commercialization studies continue on the Hebron oil discovery (ExxonMobil interest, 38 percent).
ExxonMobil Canada and Imperial Oil successfully participated in a tender for eight high-potential frontier deepwater exploration blocks in the Orphan Basin located offshore Newfoundland (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent; Imperial Oil interest, 25 percent). Blocks were awarded in January 2004.
Heavy Oil and Tar Sands Development
The Cold Lake field (Imperial Oil interest, 100 percent) and the Syncrude tar sands operation (Imperial Oil interest, 25 percent) in Alberta account for the majority of Imperials oil production in western Canada.
At Cold Lake, steam is injected into the formation, which increases the mobility of the heavy oil in the reservoir, permitting it to be produced to the surface. The injection-production cycle is repeated many times to maximize economic recovery. The application of leading-edge technologies providing enhanced resource description, identification of reservoir segments not yet contacted by steam, and improved recovery prediction have increased reserves recovery potential and improved economics at Cold Lake.
Upstream 34 Exxon Mobil Corporation
The Syncrude operation involves three main processes: open pit mining, extraction of crude bitumen, and upgrading to produce high-quality crude oil. Syncrude Sweet Blend, the final product of the operation, is a 32 degree API gravity crude that has a market value approximately equal to West Texas Intermediate crude. Since its start-up more than 20 years ago, the Syncrude tar sand facility has become the largest in the world, producing more than 210 thousand barrels of crude oil per day (gross) in 2003. Net interest proved reserves total about 780 million barrels, providing a reserve life of about 40 years at current production rates. Staged expansion is underway to further develop reserves in the area and expand the upgrading facilities. This expansion is planned to increase production to over 350 thousand barrels of upgraded crude oil per day (gross). The next expansion phase is scheduled to start up in 2006.
ExxonMobil holds interests in three large Kearl Lake oil sands mining leases through its interest in Imperial Oil as well as through its wholly-owned affiliate. A 200 well delineation program is underway on the Imperial Oil leases to further define the resource and support the conceptual design for the project. In 2003, activity was initiated on environmental, public consultation and regulatory work to support a development plan application.
North American Gas Market
In North America, ExxonMobil is a leading producer and marketer of equity gas with production volumes totaling 3.2 billion cubic feet per day. ExxonMobil sells gas to a broad range of customers, including local distribution companies, public utilities, major industrial consumers, and power producers.
ExxonMobil is well positioned to meet gas demand growth with supplies in major producing basins, and exploration and development activities near key markets. This includes a leading position in the gas resources in the Mackenzie Delta region of northern Canada and on the North Slope of Alaska. Led by Imperial Oil, the Mackenzie Delta Producers Group and the Aboriginal Pipeline Group are working together to pursue economic and timely development of a Mackenzie Valley pipeline, with start-up planned before the end of the decade. Progress was made in 2003 on key regulatory milestones and funding elements. Efforts also continue towards commercialization of gas from the Alaskan North Slope.
LNG is forecast to play an increasingly important role in future North American gas supply. A Heads of Agreement was signed with Qatar to supply approximately 15.6 million tons per year, or 2 billion cubic feet per day of gas (ExxonMobil interest, 30 percent) to the U.S. beginning in 2009. In 2003, ExxonMobil acquired options to purchase land for LNG offloading and regasification terminals at three locations on the U.S. Gulf Coast (Sabine and Corpus Christi, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama). The process to obtain regulatory approvals has already been initiated for the Sabine and Corpus Christi sites.
ExxonMobil has a significant presence in the North American natural gas liquids business, managing over 600 thousand barrels per day. The company is active in all aspects of the business from gas production through processing, transportation, storage, fractionation, refining and chemical feedstocks, and propane marketing.

In November 2003, production began from the Carrack project (ExxonMobil interest, 49 percent). This phased, six well development in the southern North Sea area is anticipated to produce about 50 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross). The project optimized the use of existing infrastructure by utilizing a normally unmanned 10-slot wellhead platform that is tied back via an 82 kilometer pipeline to the Clipper platform.
Three projects in the U.K. North Sea are scheduled to commence production in 2004 and 2005. The Goldeneye project (ExxonMobil interest, 39 percent), is located in the central North Sea. In December 2003, two wells from the Scoter project (ExxonMobil interest, 44 percent) produced at a gross combined rate exceeding 200 million cubic feet of gas per day. These wells utilize existing infrastructure in the Shearwater platform area. The Arthur project (ExxonMobil interest, 70 percent), is progressing through the front-end engineering and design phase, following the successful outcome of the Camelot East near-field wildcat discovery in 2003. The field is located in the southern North Sea and operated by ExxonMobil. The project is intended to recover over 130 billion cubic feet (gross) of gas reserves with up to three wells. Project funding is planned for early 2004, with start of production targeted for early 2005.
The Kristin project is designed to develop high-pressure, high-temperature hydrocarbon resources estimated at over 450 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross). The project includes multiple subsea templates tied back to a semi-submersible production vessel in approximately 1,200 feet of water. Plans call for produced gas to flow to the Aasgard 42 inch gas export line and for condensate to be exported via a 150 mile pipeline to Aasgard C. Start-up is scheduled for early 2006. Located 120 miles offshore Norway in 2,300-3,600 feet of water, the Ormen Lange project is designed to develop over 13 trillion cubic feet of gas (gross) from the Ormen Lange field. Technically challenging due to uneven seabed terrain and cold water flow concerns, the project scope includes subsea wells flowing to a new onshore gas processing plant at Nyhamna, Norway. Plans call for a 390 mile, 42 inch trunkline to connect the plant to the offshore Sleipner Norwegian Continental Shelf hub and a new 340 mile, 44 inch trunkline to connect Sleipner to the U.K. at Easington. Start-up is targeted for late 2007. The Goldeneye project is expected to develop 135 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross) using an unmanned wellhead platform with the full wellstream moved to shore via a 20 inch flowline.

Other European Activities
ExxonMobil has significant gas holdings onshore in the Netherlands and Germany, and is the largest gas producer in both countries. Capacity is being optimized to meet market demand and peak-day needs. A multi-year upgrade of the Groningen facilities, along with additional compression for future deliverability, is progressing in the Netherlands. In Germany, ExxonMobil is enhancing capacity by progressing plans for a 205 square kilometer 3D seismic survey, as well as near-field wildcat and appraisal well drilling.
Offshore the Netherlands, the K/15-FK project (ExxonMobil interest, 23 percent) began production in August 2003. The project is anticipated to recover 22 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross). K/15-FG-North also began production in December 2003, and is expected to recover 5 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross).
The Tempa Rossa field (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent) in the Italian Southern Apennines contains an estimated ultimate recovery of 200 million barrels of heavy oil (gross). Front-end engineering and design are progressing for a centralized oil and gas processing facility. Plans are to expand production via an existing pipeline to storage and loading facilities at Taranto, Italy. Start-up is anticipated in 2007.
European Gas Market
ExxonMobil is the largest nongovernment marketer of equity gas in Europe and holds a substantial asset base. ExxonMobils gas sales position in Europe is supported by an experienced marketing organization, extensive marketing infrastructure, and ownership interests in 27 thousand miles of onshore gas pipelines, 300 billion cubic feet of gas storage capacity, 650 megawatts of cogeneration power facilities and 12 gas processing plants. In addition, ExxonMobil manages natural gas liquids volumes of over 320 thousand barrels per day.
ExxonMobils broad portfolio of gas production, treating, transmission, storage, and marketing assets, as well as our commercial experience in the region, position us well in the changing European market.
Several significant commercial restructuring activities are progressing to further position ExxonMobil to compete effectively in the future European gas market. These changes anticipate the impact of the European Gas Directives and enable ExxonMobil to directly market significantly more of its equity gas production.
Effective January 2003, unitization of the offshore and onshore Norwegian gas pipelines was implemented. ExxonMobils ownership share in the unitized grid is 9.8 percent and our ownership rights were extended to 2028. ExxonMobil now independently markets all of its Norwegian equity gas production following the dissolution of the Norwegian government-mandated Gas Sales Committee.
ExxonMobil and Shell have agreed to transfer the gas marketing activities from their 50/50 German joint venture, BEB Erdgas und Erdsl GmbH (BEB) into separate ExxonMobil and Shell companies, which will independently market gas to customers. BEB is presently active in sales and purchases as well as transportation and storage of natural gas in Germany. ExxonMobil is the operator of BEBs production assets. The split of BEBs gas marketing business is expected to be effective in 2004.
ExxonMobil continues to optimize its holdings in Europe. The companys shareholding in Ruhrgas AG was transferred to E.ON AG, which resulted in a $1.7 billion net earnings benefit to ExxonMobil. During the first half of 2003, ExxonMobil sold its U.K. industrial and commercial gas marketing business.
With the second European Gas Directive, discussions were held throughout 2003 with the Dutch government to determine the appropriate restructuring of Gasunie, the large Dutch gas transmission and marketing company (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent). The restructuring discussions are now focused on the legal separation of Gasunies transmission system from its marketing activities by mid-2004.
LNG is forecast to play an increasingly important role in European gas supply and ExxonMobil is active in developing terminals to facilitate the rapid growth of LNG demand. In the U.K., ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum are developing the South Hook LNG receiving terminal at ExxonMobils former refinery site in Milford Haven, Wales. This terminal is the likely access point for the 15.6 million tons per year Qatargas II LNG project (ExxonMobil share, up to 30 percent). Key permits were received during 2003 for this development. In Italy, Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil acquired a 90 percent interest in the offshore Adriatic Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal (ExxonMobil interest, 45 percent) to regassify 6.0 million tons per year of LNG. Also in southern Europe, ExxonMobil is assessing potential terminal development opportunities at its refinery sites in Fos (France) and Augusta (Italy).

Gas resources from the North Field are well positioned and competitive for supplying Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to all markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and the United States.
In 2003, three existing LNG trains at the Qatargas joint venture (ExxonMobil interest, 10 percent) produced 8.2 million tons (377 billion cubic feet), sold mainly to customers in Japan and Spain. Further optimization of the three existing LNG trains at Qatargas is underway. Work is progressing on the Qatargas II project (ExxonMobil interest, 15-30 percent) that is currently in the front-end engineering and development phase. The project will be the largest LNG import into the European market and includes two LNG trains each with a capacity of 7.8 million tons per year. Shipping will involve a fleet of LNG carriers that are larger than the largest LNG ships now in service. In addition, land use permits have been received for a 15.6 million ton per year LNG receiving terminal at ExxonMobils former refinery site in Milford Haven, Wales.
RasGas LNG facilities (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent) produced 6.5 million tons (299 billion cubic feet), sold mainly to Korea Gas, with the bulk of the remainder going into markets in the U.S. and Spain. Construction of RasGas Trains 3 and 4 and the associated marketing arrangements are expected to develop 2.9 billion oil-equivalent barrels (gross). The Train 4 LNG project also includes natural gas liquids extraction facilities designed to provide 15 thousand barrels per day of liquids. In addition, plans are underway for a fifth train of 4.7 million tons per year capacity with sales agreements under development.
On October 16, 2003, ExxonMobil signed a Heads of Agreement with Qatar Petroleum to produce and deliver 15.6 million tons per year of LNG to the U.S. This project will be the largest LNG import project for supply of gas to the U.S. and will make a significant contribution to meeting its future gas demand. Two LNG trains of 7.8 million tons per year each and ships are planned to be developed as part of RasGas Trains 6 and 7. Deliveries of LNG are targeted for 2009. The trains and ships for both the Qatargas II project and for the RasGas Trains 6 and 7 project will use the same design.
In November, 2003, Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil acquired an interest in the offshore Adriatic Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal project (ExxonMobil interest, 45 percent) in Italy. This state-of-the-art receiving and regasification terminal is anticipated to start up in 2007. Under the amended contracts signed with Edison Gas S.p.A., RasGas will supply up to 4.7 million tons of LNG per year to Edison Gas and other customers in Italy through this terminal.

The Middle East (continued)
The Al Khaleej Gas (formerly Enhanced Gas Utilization) Development and Production Sharing Agreement (ExxonMobil interest, 100 percent) calls for further development of gas from the Qatar North Field for domestic and regional pipeline sales as well as associated natural gas liquids. Gas sales and purchase agreements for the first phase of production were concluded in early 2003 with the construction contract awarded in March. Startup is targeted for 2005. Discussions are progressing with other domestic and regional customers for additional sales from future phases of Al Khaleej Gas.
Taking advantage of synergies with existing and future LNG expansion projects at Ras Laffan, the Qatar Helium project will extract raw helium from the North Field gas and produce approximately 630 million cubic feet of refined helium per year. The Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract together with the Sale and Purchase Agreements for this project were signed in May 2003 and start-up is targeted for 2005.
Following the completion of a commercial and technical feasibility study, ExxonMobil is also discussing construction of a potential world-scale gas-to-liquids project with Qatar Petroleum.
A joint project between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil, the Qatargas II project is planned to further develop Qatars North Field through the addition of the worlds largest LNG liquefaction trains. Each train is targeted to produce 7.8 million tons per year (MTA) of LNG. Each project will encompass production, liquefaction, shipping, and regasifica-tion facilities. The United Kingdom and northern Europe are likely market destinations for project production. Start-up of the first train is expected in 2008. RasGas LNG Trains 3 and 4 will develop 2.9 billion oil-equivalent barrels (gross) through an expansion of North Field production. The projects include installation of two world-class LNG trains with combined capacity of over 9 MTAof LNG. Construction is underway on both trains with first deliveries scheduled for 2004 and 2005. Train 3 will supply LNG to India (Dahej Terminal) via an agreement between RasGas and Petronet, and Train 4 will supply LNG to Italy through the North Adriatic Terminal. A Heads of Agreement (HOA) was signed in October 2003 to supply LNG from Qatar to the U.S. for an expected period of 25 years. The HOAcovers the development of two additional large LNG trains with combined capacity of 15.6 million tons per year. Delivery of LNG to the U.S. is projected to begin in 2009. Several possible receiving terminal locations are under evaluation. The multi-phase Al Khaleej Gas project is intended to develop natural gas from Qatars giant North Field for domestic and export customers. Construction is in progress on Phase 1, which is targeted to supply 740 million cubic feet of gas per day to domestic industrial customers. We expect that future phases of the project will fulfill additional long-term domestic or export gas demand.

(1) | The per unit data is divided into two separate sections: (a) revenue per unit of sales from ExxonMobils own production; and (b) operating costs and earnings per unit of net oil-equivalent production. Units for crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) are barrels, while units for natural gas are thousands of cubic feet. The volumes of crude oil and natural gas liquids production and net natural gas production available for sale used in this calculation are shown on pages 54 and 55 of this document. The volumes of natural gas were converted to oil-equivalent barrels based on a conversion factor of 6 thousand cubic feet per barrel. | |
(2) | Includes earnings related to transportation operations, LNG operations, sale of third-party purchases, technical services agreements, other non-operating activities, and adjustments for minority interests. | |
(3) | Other revenue includes carbon dioxide, helium, and sulfur. Revenue from these products has been included in other earnings beginning 2002. |

Refining and Supply (continued)
Relentless Pursuit of Operating Efficiencies
Our scale, integration, and functional organization all provide competitive advantages that are unmatched in the industry. We leverage these strengths to continuously improve the operating efficiency of our facilities and reduce costs. Worldwide cash operating costs at our refineries are substantially below the industry average.
Improving the energy efficiency of our operations is a key contributor to this performance. ExxonMobils proprietary Global Energy Management System (GEMS) focuses on opportunities that reduce the energy consumed at our refineries and chemical complexes. In addition to individual site programs, detailed GEMS surveys have been conducted at 18 refinery/chemical complexes since the programs inception in mid-1999. More than $400 million of pre-tax potential energy savings has been identified to date, equal to nearly 20 percent of the energy consumed at these facilities.
We also continue to make significant investments in cogeneration facilities. Cogeneration, the simultaneous production of power and steam, requires substantially less energy and results in lower emissions compared to making steam and power separately through conventional processes. More than 90 percent of the power generating capacity at our refining and chemical sites comes from cogeneration, meeting two-thirds of our power requirements at these facilities.
Three new cogeneration facilities are now under construction at ExxonMobil sites that will add about 700 megawatts of additional cogeneration capacity.
The ExxonMobil Reliability and Maintenance Management System yields additional efficiencies. This comprehensive program is designed to safely achieve higher plant reliability and availability while lowering total facility maintenance costs. The program has been applied to all ExxonMobil sites
(Left) Construction of ExxonMobils 90 megawatt cogeneration facility at Sarnia, Ontario, nears completion. (Right) ExxonMobils Singapore refinery is one of the worlds largest integrated refining/petrochemical sites and is well positioned to take advantage of the growing demand in this region of the world.

and provides a structured, disciplined approach to the management of more than $1 billion of annual maintenance work. Since its introduction, the system has reduced the amount of time that units are down for maintenance by 35 percent and has reduced maintenance costs by 25 percent.
Operators fine tune operations to maximize high-valued product yield at ExxonMobils Beaumont, Texas refinery.
Increasing Margin Capture
Improving profitability also includes identifying and delivering initiatives that increase available margins.
We are an industry leader in the operating reliability of our refinery network and we continue to improve the economic utilization of our refining capacity.
In addition, we continue to find new, innovative methods to increase the yields of high-value products, while reducing overall raw material costs. Advancements in molecular fingerprinting and modeling technologies result in an improved understanding of the behavior and characteristics of the materials moving through our refineries. We believe this is an area of significant competitive advantage and future opportunity.
Supply Optimization
We continue to deliver bottom line profit improvement by leveraging the scale of our global supply organization and capturing substantial logistics efficiencies. ExxonMobils global supply team integrates the operations across all the sites in each refining center, optimizing the overall supply chain of crude oil purchases, product blending, and inventory management. Crude diversification and flexibility were further increased in 2003, with more than 25 new crudes evaluated and run for the first time in our global refinery network.
Another benefit from supply optimization has been the reduction in capital employed derived, in part, from the integration of our global supply network. Over the past five years, we have taken 45 million barrels of crude and product inventory out of our global supply chain, freeing up more than $1 billion of working capital.

FUELS MARKETING
ExxonMobils Fuels Marketing business portfolio builds long-term value and better meets the needs of local consumers the world over through the execution of globally common, consistently applied business processes, marketing programs, and best practices. With operations in over 100 countries on six continents, Fuels Marketing serves a globally diverse customer base. The Exxon, Mobil, and Esso brands serve motorists at nearly 40 thousand service stations and provide over 1 million industrial and wholesale customers with quality fuel products. In addition, fuel products and services are provided to aviation customers at more than 700 airports and to marine customers at more than 300 marine ports around the world.

Fuels Marketing operates in an increasingly competitive worldwide marketplace. Our relentless focus on cost efficiency, growing income in convenience products and services, selective investments in new retail sites, and high-grading existing assets drives future growth in earnings and return on capital employed (ROCE).
Global Scale Delivers Operating Efficiencies
Improvements in productivity and cost efficiency continue to be key focus areas for Fuels Marketing. We take full advantage of our global organization structure and scale by leveraging innovative technology investments and by streamlining and automating work processes, while continuing to improve our customer service.
| In 2003, our initiatives reduced ongoing operating costs in Fuels Marketing by $245 million pre-tax. | |||
| In the highly competitive retail business, disciplined execution of retail site operating best practices, systematically applied to our service stations across the world, drove down on-site operating costs, and increased earnings from convenience products and services. The improvements in profitability resulting from this approach are best demonstrated through reduction in a sites breakeven fuels margin. This is the fuels margin required for a retail site to break even after netting against total site operating costs the non-fuels income at the site. With the combined effect of increased non-fuels income, disciplined management of operating costs, and higher average site volumes, we lower this margin. For example, at our U.S. company-operated sites, we have lowered this number by nearly 20 percent since 2000. |
Focused Capital Management
Our capital management strategy is designed to continually improve the capital efficiency of our operational base.
| We use a focused market approach to retail investments to provide the foundation for building long-term value. This approach selects and prioritizes potential markets for investment through a rigorous, disciplined, and globally consistent market planning process. | |||
| In addition to making selective and disciplined retail investment decisions, we continue to high-grade our portfolio of retail sites around the world. Since 1999, our total retail chain has been reduced by 14 percent, while total fuels volumes have been maintained. | |||
| An important measure of efficiency in the retail business is market effectiveness, the ratio of the percentage of volume ExxonMobil sells in a market to the percentage of retail sites we have in that market. For industry across a given market the ratio is 1.0. For those markets where we have fully seen the benefits of a focused market approach, our market effectiveness has improved dramatically and is 40 percent better than the industry. |

Customer Focused Initiatives to Improve Margins
Drawing on worldwide retailing experience, Fuels Marketing has developed a portfolio of innovative retail formats designed to appeal to customers globally and locally and to deliver outstanding financial results:
| Our popular On the Run convenience store format incorporates leading-edge technology and market research to provide value and convenience to our customers. In 2003, Fuels Marketing added 201 new On the Run stores worldwide, bringing the total to 1,000 in 41 countries and territories. In the U.S., ExxonMobils On the Run chain received the 2003 Convenience Store Chain of the Year award granted by Convenience Store Decisions magazine. | |||
| Strategic alliances with leading food or grocery marketers in selected markets can enhance our convenience store offering by leveraging the strength of our alliance partners distribution system or product brand value. Examples include our alliances with Tesco in the United Kingdom and Thailand, Doutor and 7-Eleven in Japan, Tim Hortons in Canada, and Innscor across Africa. In 2003, Fuels Marketing expanded its alliance offerings to over 600 sites around the world. | |||
| Innovative programs, including Speedpass and Upromise, create value and significantly increase customer loyalty. Speedpass users number more than 7 million customers in the U.S., Canada, Singapore, and Japan. Speedpass is accepted at over 10 thousand Exxon, Mobil, and Esso sites. ExxonMobils participation in the Upromise program which helps families save for college is unique in the industry. During 2003, Upromise membership increased to over 4 million participants in the United States. Research shows that the combined effect of these and other customer loyalty programs can increase ExxonMobils share of an average households monthly motor fuel purchases from 10 to nearly 90 percent. |

ExxonMobil is the worlds number one supplier of lube basestocks and a leading marketer of finished lubricants and specialty products. Supported by a highly trained field force, a strong distributor network, and a supply chain that includes a network of 13 refineries and 53 blend plants, ExxonMobil supplies high-quality products and application expertise to customers around the world.
Customer-Focused Technology
ExxonMobils leading lubricant brands Exxon, Mobil, and Esso continue to meet customer needs for industrial and transportation applications the world over. Customers rely on Exxon, Mobil, and Esso branded products because of their quality, reliability and technological leadership, a close association with many of the worlds leading original equipment manufacturers, and their demonstrated ability to withstand performance stresses, including those of motorsports racing. They are also backed by a variety of technical services designed to provide customers with worry-free operations.
As the worlds economies grow, so does the demand for higher-quality lubricants. ExxonMobil continued to grow its share of the highly profitable synthetic lubricants market in 2003. Following a successful 2002 launch in the U.S., Mobil 1 with SuperSyn, using new anti-wear technology, was introduced to over 30 additional markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America in 2003.
This new unit at the Fawley refinery in the United Kingdom upgrades low-quality heavy oil to premium-quality Visom lube basestock.
Adding further to the success of Mobil 1 motor oil in 2003 and expected to drive future growth:
| Mercedes-Benz named this product as factory-fill engine oil and recommended service fill for its long-awaited 626-horsepower Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car. It joins an already impressive list of worldwide automotive makers who specify Mobil 1 for factory fill in models including, Porsche, Cadillac, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Corvette. |
Downstream 70 Exxon Mobil Corporation
| Beginning in 2003, Mobil branded products were also named Official Lubricants of NASCAR. This association with one of Americas fastest-growing sporting events reinforces the Mobil brands high-performance reputation, and provides a level of exposure that will benefit sales across the Mobil brand family. |
About 70 percent of NASCAR race teams use Mobil 1.
In addition to providing customers with leading-edge product technology like Mobil 1, ExxonMobil also applies technology in improving customer satisfaction and service. For example, in 2003, ExxonMobil developed new e-business applications to improve the way we interact with customers. Customers in many parts of the world can place orders directly, check order status, and manage open accounts using the Internet. Over 30 percent of Lubes and Specialties 2003 revenue was derived via e-ordering. ExxonMobil also launched a web-based global database with product data sheets available in more than 20 languages. In addition, ExxonMobil introduced Signum Oil Analysis in 2003 for customers who want to receive oil analysis reports on-line.
Strategic Global Alliances
Globally respected brands and industry-leading technology enable ExxonMobil to build upon our leading position in strategic global alliances with automotive and equipment manufacturers. A strong global presence enables ExxonMobil to better serve customers with worldwide operations that demand consistently reliable, high-quality products and services. For example, ExxonMobil is a global supplier of premium oils to Caterpillar factories and dealers in over 90 countries. ExxonMobils worldwide service capability and integrated sales focus on strategic global customers differentiate us from competitors.
Motorsports sponsorships, like those in Formula 1 with West McLaren Mercedes and Toyota, lead to new business with strategic global customers and provide an ideal environment for developing high-performance lubricants. Sponsorship of Toyotas new Formula 1 team, for example, helped strengthen ExxonMobils position as a primary supplier of factory and service fill lubricants for Toyota Motor Company.
Relationships with strategic accounts extend off the track as well, through our technology partnerships with General Motors, Toyota, and DaimlerChrysler, where we collaborate on developing innovative new lubricants and fuels products.
Supply Chain Efficiency
ExxonMobil continued to optimize our lubricants supply chain in 2003, improving both operating and capital efficiency. Further optimization of our global network of lube oil blending plants resulted in a 15 percent reduction in capital employed as inventories of both raw materials and finished products were reduced by 10 percent. Since 1999, our blend plant utilization has increased by over 40 percent.
Additional efficiencies are expected as sophisticated supply chain planning tools are used to improve customer demand forecasts and further increase the efficiency of our global network of assets.
Lubes volumes have been maintained while complexity was driven out of the supply chain.

| Focus on businesses that capitalize on core competencies | |||
| Capture full benefits of integration across all ExxonMobil operations | |||
| Continuously reduce costs to achieve best-in-class performance | |||
| Invest selectively in internationally advantaged projects | |||
| Build proprietary technology positions |
Industry Conditions
| Demand in the established markets of North America remained relatively flat, with industrial production lagging the economic recovery. | |||
| European demand grew marginally. | |||
| Growth in Asia slowed at the beginning of the year and recovered sharply during the second half. | |||
| Challenged by historically high and volatile energy and feedstock costs, industry prices increased sharply compared to 2002. | |||
| On average, industry margins improved slightly. |
(1) Annual averages based on published industry data.
2003 HIGHLIGHTS
Earnings of $1,432 million in 2003 were the highest of the past five years and 73 percent higher than in 2002. Our outstanding mix of businesses, broad geographic diversity, ongoing capture of cost efficiencies and feedstock integration helped ExxonMobil significantly improve profitability in a challenging business environment.
Return on average capital employed reached 10.2 percent, up from 6.1 percent in 2002. ExxonMobil Chemicals returns continued to exceed the average returns of major competitors. Over the last 10 years, our Chemical business achieved an average return of more than 12 percent while making substantial investments to support long-term growth. During the same period, key competitors returns averaged 9 percent.
2003 prime product sales volume of 26.6 million tons was equivalent to the record level in 2002, as growth in Asia-Pacific offset lower sales in North America.
Capital expenditures were $0.7 billion. We invested selectively in high-return efficiency projects and to support the growth of our specialty businesses.

FOCUSED STRATEGIES
Implementation of focused, long-term strategies has produced competitive advantages that result in superior returns versus competition across the business cycle. These advantages include our business mix, investment discipline, petroleum integration, world-class operations, leading proprietary technologies, and product application expertise. The strategies are designed to increase our competitive advantage and achieve earnings growth and attractive returns, strengthening our position as the worlds premier petrochemical company.
Capitalizing on Core Competencies
ExxonMobils unique mix of chemical business lines delivers superior performance relative to competition throughout the business cycle. The portfolio includes strong positions in the supply chain for many of the largest-volume and highest-growth petrochemicals in the global economy.
| One of the largest producers of olefins, the basic petrochemical building blocks. | |||
| Largest worldwide producer of polyolefins, including polyethylene, the largest-volume plastic, and polypropylene, one of the fastest growing and most versatile polymers. | |||
| Largest global producer of paraxylene and benzene. Paraxylene is one of the fastest growing petrochemicals and the main raw material for the manufacture of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recyclable bottles. Benzene is a primary building block for a broad array of products ranging from nylon to polystyrene. |
The company also has a premier position in a diverse portfolio of less-cyclical specialty business lines. These leading specialty businesses include butyl polymers, ethylene elastomers, synthetic lubricant basestock fluids, petroleum additives, oriented polypropylene film, plasticizers, hydrocarbon and oxygenated fluids, oxo-alcohols, acids and adhesive polymers. We are building strong competitive advantages through unique combinations of low-cost feedstocks, proprietary technology, operational excellence, product application expertise and synergies between businesses. ExxonMobil continues to grow and strengthen these businesses through new product development, enhanced marketing focus, and expansion into new markets.
(1)Competitor chemical returns estimated for 2003.
Capturing Full Benefits of Integration
More than 90 percent of our owned and operated chemical capacity is adjacent to and integrated with large refining complexes or upstream gas processing facilities. ExxonMobils long-standing emphasis on petroleum integration is a key component of our strong competitive position. Manufacturing sites are designed and managed to maximize synergies via optimized molecule management, coordinated technology development, joint facilities planning, and sharing of common systems and support functions.
The flexibility that comes from feedstock and fuels integration with world-scale refineries allows ExxonMobil Chemical to consistently outperform competition. Production plans at ExxonMobils integrated petrochemical complexes are reviewed continuously and optimized using sophisticated models to identify the highest value for process streams. Supply plans are also optimized on a regional and global level in response to changes in feedstock costs and market conditions.
The Thailand aromatics plant uses feedstocks supplied by the adjacent Sriracha refinery.

Continually Reduce Costs to Achieve Best-in-Class Performance
ExxonMobil Chemical maintains a constant focus on improving efficiency and reducing the costs of manufacturing, selling, and distributing our products.
The companys demonstrated strength of focusing on safety, productivity, reliability, and quality enhances the contribution of existing assets. The application of a structured program to identify and rapidly capture process improvements continues to support earnings growth by optimizing unit throughput, improving plant reliability, and increasing effective capacity at significantly less than grass-roots cost. Leveraging our global scale across our portfolio is also a key contributor to our efficiency program.
Energy efficiencies and savings opportunities are being identified and captured at ExxonMobil facilities through the extensive use of our Global Energy Management System, a uniform set of best practices and technologies.
Over the past three years, the energy consumed (per unit of output) by our plants decreased by 10%.
Selectively Investing in Internationally Advantaged Projects
Investment discipline is a cornerstone of ExxonMobil Chemicals strategy. Each investment requires unique competitive advantages to enhance returns above those generally available to industry. A highly structured approach to project evaluation, development, execution, and post-completion reappraisals contributes to effective project selection and implementation.
| Our recent investments in capacity additions in Saudi Arabia and Singapore allowed us to profitably increase our participation in high-growth markets such as China. The excellent performance of these sites provided major contributions to the earnings increase we accomplished in 2003. | |||
| Construction of the Baton Rouge metallocene ethylene elastomers plant was completed in 2003. This new, one of a kind facility, which will produce more than 90 thousand tons annually, uses ExxonMobils Exxpol metallocene catalyst and a proprietary manufacturing process to make next-generation elastomers. This facility further strengthens our position as a premier supplier of ethylene elastomers. | |||
| ExxonMobil Chemicals films business completed an expansion of its manufacturing plant in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The installation of a new 6.6 meter orienter provides additional annual capacity of 15 thousand tons and helps us meet growing demand for white opaque films used in the packaging and labeling markets. | |||
| An expansion of the Fina-Antwerp Olefins steam crackers (ExxonMobil share, 35 percent) was completed in 2003. The project increases ExxonMobils share of ethylene produced at the complex by more than 50 thousand tons per year, or 11 percent. |
ExxonMobil Chemicals Shawnee films plant expanded its capacity in 2003 for white opaque films, used in the packaging and labeling markets.
Exxon Mobil Corporation 81 Chemical
Focused Strategies (continued)
| Three new steam and power cogeneration facilities are being built at the Beaumont, Baytown, and Sarnia integrated refining and petrochemical sites. These new facilities will improve the reliability and increase the energy efficiency of the chemical plants at the complexes. Added benefits include reduced emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other gases. | |||
| The competitiveness of the Baytown olefins plant was further improved with the completion of a feed flexibility and efficiency project. In addition to a 24 thousand ton capacity increase, the project reduced energy consumption and increased the sites ability to process advantaged feedstocks. | |||
| The company completed a project to increase the efficiency of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, isopropyl alcohol plant. The project also resulted in a 10 percent capacity increase. | |||
| Implementation of our Global Enterprise Management System continued in 2003. This global information technology platform, which supports a broad range of business processes, strengthens our global operations and enables the implementation of common practices around the world in support of consistent service delivery to our global customers. | |||
| ExxonMobil continues to explore additional opportunities for advantaged growth in both established and developing markets of the world, including China and a potential joint-venture project for the production of petrochemicals in Venezuela. |
ExxonMobil Chemical actively manages its assets to ensure that all are contributing to the companys objectives. When those objectives are not met, selective divestments are made.
| In 2003, Tonen Chemical Company (ExxonMobil share, 50 percent) sold its 35 percent interest in Japan Polychem, a Japan-based polyolefins producer, to Mitsubishi Chemicals. | |||
| Our low-molecular-weight polyisobutylene business was sold to BASF. | |||
| Our synthetic polyester-based refrigeration lubricant business was sold to Estech Gmbh & Co., KG and Hatco Corporation. |
Commercial shipment from the expanded Baytown Halobutyl plant began in 2003. Halobutyl is a specialty polymer used in inner liners of tubeless tires.
The company continued to expand global manufacturing capacities for key petrochemical products.

Frequently Used Terms
Listed below are definitions of several of ExxonMobils key business and financial performance measures and other terms. These definitions are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms and their calculation. In the case of financial measures that we believe constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G, we provide a reconciliation to the most comparable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measure and other information required by that rule.
Earnings Excluding Merger Expenses, Discontinued Operations, Accounting Change, and Other Special Items
In addition to reporting U.S. GAAP defined net income, ExxonMobil also presents a measure of earnings that excludes merger effects, earnings from discontinued operations, a required accounting change, and other quantified special items. Earnings excluding the aforementioned items is a non-GAAP financial measure and is included to facilitate comparisons of base business performance across periods. A reconciliation to net income is shown on page 10.
We also refer to earnings excluding merger expenses, discontinued operations, accounting change and other special items as normalized earnings.
Earnings per share amounts use the same average common shares outstanding as used for the calculation of net income per common share and net income per common share assuming dilution.
Operating Costs
Operating costs are the combined total of production, manufacturing, selling, general, administrative, exploration, depreciation, and depletion expenses from the Consolidated Statement of Income and ExxonMobils share of similar costs for equity companies. Operating costs are the costs during the period to produce, manufacture, and otherwise prepare the companys products for sale including energy costs, staffing, maintenance, and other costs to explore for and produce oil and gas and operate refining and chemical plants. Distribution and marketing expenses are also included. Operating costs exclude the cost of raw materials, taxes, interest expense and separately reported merger-related expenses. These expenses are on a before-tax basis. While ExxonMobils management is responsible for all revenue and expense elements of net income, operating costs, as defined below, represent the expenses most directly under managements control. Information regarding these costs is therefore useful for investors and ExxonMobil management in evaluating managements performance. In 2003, cost increases associated with higher energy prices, adverse foreign exchange impacts, new operations, and increased pension-related expenses were partly offset by efficiency initiatives captured in all business lines.

Frequently Used Terms 86 Exxon Mobil Corporation
Cash Flow from Operations and Asset Sales
Cash flow from operations and asset sales is the sum of the net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from sales of subsidiaries, investments, and property, plant, and equipment from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This cash flow is the total sources of cash from both operating the companys assets and from the divesting of assets. The Corporation employs a long-standing disciplined regular review process to ensure that all assets are contributing to the companys strategic and financial objectives. Assets are divested when they are no longer meeting these objectives or are worth considerably more to others. Because of the regular nature of this activity, we believe it is useful for investors to consider sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities, including shareholder distributions.

Capital Employed
Capital employed is a measure of net investment. When viewed from the perspective of how the capital is used by the businesses, it includes ExxonMobils net share of property, plant, and equipment, and other assets less liabilities, excluding both short-term and long-term debt. When viewed from the perspective of the sources of capital employed in total for the Corporation, it includes ExxonMobils share of total debt and shareholders equity. Both of these views include ExxonMobils share of amounts applicable to equity companies, which the Corporation believes should be included to provide a more comprehensive measure of capital employed.

Return on Average Capital Employed
Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is a performance measure ratio. From the perspective of the business segments, ROCE is annual business segment earnings divided by average business segment capital employed (average of beginning- and end-of-year amounts). These segment earnings include ExxonMobils share of segment earnings of equity companies, consistent with our capital employed definition, and exclude the cost of financing. The Corporations total ROCE is net income excluding the after-tax cost of financing, divided by total corporate average capital employed. The Corporation has consistently applied its ROCE definition for many years and views it as the best measure of historical capital productivity in our capital-intensive long-term industry, both to evaluate managements performance and to demonstrate to shareholders that capital has been used wisely over the long term. Additional measures, which tend to be more cash flow based, are used for future investment decisions.

Shareholder Return
Shareholder return measures the change in value of an investment in stock over a specified period of time, assuming dividend reinvestment. We calculate shareholder return over a particular measurement period by dividing (1) the sum of (a) the cumulative value of dividends received during the measurement period, assuming reinvestment, plus (b) the difference between the stock price at the end and at the beginning of the measurement period; by (2) the stock price at the beginning of the measurement period. For this purpose, we assume dividends are reinvested in stock at market prices at approximately the same time actual dividends are paid. Shareholder return is usually quoted on an annualized basis.
Dividend, Share Purchase, and Total Yield
Dividend yield represents the portion of the value of an investment at the beginning of a period that is received through a cash dividend during the period. For example, a stock worth $100 at the beginning of the year that pays a single $2 cash dividend during the year has a dividend yield of 2 percent.
The company also distributes cash to shareholders through share purchases. We define share purchase yield as the ratio of aggregate spending for share purchases (excluding spending to offset share issuance under benefit plans) during a period divided by aggregate market value of the stock at the beginning of the period. For example, a company with 10 shares outstanding at the beginning of the year priced at $100 per share that purchases $30 worth of stock during the year has a share purchase yield of 3 percent.
Total yield is the sum of the dividend and share purchase yields. A non-selling shareholder receives only a dividend yield but holds a proportionately larger interest in the company as total shares outstanding are reduced.

Production Capacity
Amount of production that can be sustained considering normal downtime assumptions, based on historical experience. Production capacity is normally limited by either well capacity or facilities capacity, depending on the physical setup. It does not take into account unforeseen events that can impact actual production volumes such as abnormal downtime, OPEC quotas, weather patterns, natural disasters, or civil unrest.
Frequently Used Terms 88 Exxon Mobil Corporation
Finding and Development Costs
Finding and development (F&D) costs per oil-equivalent barrel is a performance measure ratio. F&D costs per barrel are costs incurred in property acquisition and exploration (finding), plus costs incurred in development activities divided by proved oil-equivalent reserves additions, excluding sales. Both the costs incurred and the proved reserves additions include amounts applicable to equity companies as well as Canadian tar sands operations. We also refer to F&D costs as replacement costs.
Replacement Costs
See Finding and Development Costs, above.
Liquids and Natural Gas Reserves and Resources
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geologic and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. In some cases, substantial new investments in additional wells and related facilities will be required to recover these proved reserves. Proved reserves include 100 percent of each majority-owned affiliates participation in proved reserves and ExxonMobils ownership percentage of the proved reserves of equity companies, but exclude royalties and quantities due others. To more accurately represent ExxonMobils total proved liquids reserves, tar sands reserves associated with the Syncrude operation in Canada are included in all documents other than SEC filings. Gas reserves exclude the gaseous equivalent of liquids expected to be removed from the gas on leases, at field facilities, and at gas processing plants. These liquids are included in net proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids. Net proved developed reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Undeveloped reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered as a result of future investments to drill new wells, to recomplete existing wells, and/or to install facilities to collect and deliver the production from existing and future wells.
Resources, Resource Base, and Recoverable Resources
Resources, resource base, recoverable oil, recoverable hydrocarbons, recoverable resources, and similar terms used in this report include quantities of oil and gas that are not yet classified as proved reserves, but which ExxonMobil believes will likely be moved into the proved reserves category and be produced in the future.
Capital and Exploration Expenditures
Capital and exploration expenditures (capex) are the combined total of additions at cost to property, plant, and equipment and exploration expenses on a before-tax basis from the Consolidated Statement of Income. ExxonMobils capex includes its share of similar costs for equity companies. Capex excludes depreciation on the cost of exploration support equipment and facilities recorded to property, plant, and equipment when acquired. While ExxonMobils management is responsible for all investments and elements of net income, particular focus is placed on managing the controllable aspects of this group of expenditures.
Volatility
Volatility (of total returns) quantifies the risk borne by an investor holding the stock. Volatility is a measure of the average dispersion of returns about their mean value over a period of time. It is calculated as the standard deviation of monthly returns and is typically quoted on an annualized basis.
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratios
The fixed charge coverage ratio, defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and detailed in Form 10-K, measures the number of times fixed financing charges for the year are covered by available pre-tax earnings (before financing charges) for that year. The ratio is calculated by dividing available pre-tax earnings before financing charges by fixed financial charges for the year. The net fixed charge coverage ratio eliminates interest income from the numerator (available earnings) and reduces the denominator (fixed charges) by an equivalent amount. This calculation is consistent with using all available cash balances to reduce debt outstanding as is done for our net debt to capital ratio to provide a more complete view of our financial strength.
