EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Corporation’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Corporation, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Corporation’s exploration and production activities are accounted for under the “successful efforts” method.

 

2. Litigation and Other Contingencies

Litigation

A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a materially adverse effect upon the Corporation’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

On June 30, 2011, a state district court jury in Baltimore County, Maryland returned a verdict against Exxon Mobil Corporation in Allison, et al v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, a case involving an accidental 26,000 gallon gasoline leak at a suburban Baltimore service station. The verdict included approximately $497 million in compensatory damages and approximately $1.0 billion in punitive damages in a finding that ExxonMobil fraudulently misled the plaintiff-residents about the events leading up to the leak, the leak’s discovery, and the nature and extent of any groundwater contamination. ExxonMobil believes the verdict is not justified by the evidence and that the amount of the compensatory award is grossly excessive and the imposition of punitive damages is improper and unconstitutional. The trial court denied a post-trial motion that ExxonMobil filed to overturn the punitive damages verdict. Following the entry of a final judgment, ExxonMobil will appeal the verdict and judgment. In an earlier trial involving the same leak and different plaintiffs, the jury awarded compensatory damages but rejected the plaintiffs’ punitive damages claims. Those plaintiffs did not appeal the jury’s denial of punitive damages. On February 9, 2012, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals reversed in part and affirmed in part the trial court’s decision on compensatory damages in that case. Both the plaintiffs and ExxonMobil have filed petitions for writs of certiorari with the Maryland Court of Appeals seeking reversals of portions of the Court of Special Appeals’ decision. The ultimate outcome of all of this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

Other Contingencies

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31, 2012 for guarantees relating to notes, loans and performance under contracts. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

  (1) ExxonMobil share

Additionally, the Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. The Corporation’s outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at March 31, 2012, were similar to those at the prior year-end period. Unconditional purchase obligations as defined by accounting standards are those long-term commitments that are noncancelable or cancelable only under certain conditions, and that third parties have used to secure financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods or services.

The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.

In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007 a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project. ExxonMobil’s remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets is about $750 million.

On September 6, 2007, affiliates of ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) invoking ICSID jurisdiction under Venezuela’s Investment Law and the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID Tribunal issued a decision on June 10, 2010, finding that it had jurisdiction to proceed on the basis of the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID arbitration proceeding is continuing and a hearing on the merits was held in February 2012. At this time, the net impact of these matters on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. Regardless, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

An affiliate of ExxonMobil is one of the Contractors under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) covering the Erha block located in the offshore waters of Nigeria. ExxonMobil’s affiliate is the operator of the block and owns a 56.25 percent interest under the PSC. The Contractors are in dispute with NNPC regarding NNPC’s lifting of crude oil in excess of its entitlement under the terms of the PSC. In accordance with the terms of the PSC, the Contractors initiated arbitration in Abuja, Nigeria, under the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act. On October 24, 2011, a three-member arbitral Tribunal issued an award upholding the Contractors’ position in all material respects and awarding damages to the Contractors jointly in an amount of approximately $1.8 billion plus $234 million in accrued interest. The Contractors have petitioned a Nigerian federal court for enforcement of the award, and NNPC has petitioned the same court to have the award set aside. Those proceedings are pending. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, regardless of the outcome of enforcement proceedings, the Corporation does not expect the proceedings to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

6. Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to observable market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The only category of financial instruments where the difference between fair value and recorded book value is notable is long-term debt. The estimated fair value of total long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations, was $9.7 billion at March 31, 2012, and $9.8 billion at December 31, 2011, as compared to recorded book values of $9.2 billion at March 31, 2012, and $9.3 billion at December 31, 2011. The fair value of long-term debt by hierarchy level at March 31, 2012 is shown below:

 

     As of March 31, 2012  
     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  
     (millions of dollars)  

Long-term debt fair value

   $ 6,731       $ 2,576       $ 387       $ 9,694   

The fair value hierarchy for long-term debt is primarily Level 1 and represents quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 includes debt whose fair value is based upon a publicly available index. The Level 3 amount is primarily capitalized leases whose value is typically determined through the use of present value and specific contract terms.

10. Assets Held for Sale

On January 29, 2012, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an agreement which will result in the restructuring of its Downstream and Chemical holdings in Japan. Under the agreement, TonenGeneral Sekiyu K. K. (TG), a consolidated subsidiary owned 50 percent by the Corporation, will purchase for approximately $3.9 billion the Corporation’s shares of a wholly-owned affiliate in Japan, ExxonMobil Yugen Kaisha, which will result in TG acquiring approximately 200 million of its shares currently owned by the Corporation along with other assets. As a result of the restructuring the Corporation’s effective ownership of TG will be reduced to approximately 22 percent. The purchase price is subject to adjustments including changes in working capital. Closing is anticipated in mid-2012.

REVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

ExxonMobil results for the first quarter 2012 reflect our ongoing focus on developing and delivering energy needed to support job creation and economic growth. Despite continuing economic uncertainty, we are progressing our robust investment plans to meet the energy demands of the future.

In the first quarter, capital and exploration expenditures were $8.8 billion.

We continued to generate strong cash flow from operations and asset sales with $21.8 billion in the quarter.

First quarter earnings of $9,450 million were down 11 percent from the first quarter of 2011.

The Corporation distributed more than $7 billion to shareholders in the first quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased over 5 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of higher prices on entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production was down 1 percent.

Liquids production totaled 2,214 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), down 185 kbd from the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of higher prices on entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, liquids production was down less than 1 percent, as field decline was mostly offset by ramp-up of Angola and Iraq projects, and lower downtime.

First quarter natural gas production was 14,036 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), down 489 mcfd from 2011, mainly due to field decline and divestments.

Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,010 million, $269 million lower than the first quarter of 2011. Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $6,792 million, down $604 million from the prior year.

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

Total cash and cash equivalents of $19.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2012 compared to $13.2 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $19.3 billion for the first three months of 2012, $2.4 billion higher than 2011. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $9.8 billion, a decrease from the prior year period. The adjustment for the noncash provision of $3.8 billion for depreciation and depletion was flat with 2011. Changes in operational working capital added to cash flows in both periods. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 6.

Investing activities for the first three months of 2012 used net cash of $5.4 billion which was flat when compared to the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment increased $0.8 billion to $7.8 billion. Proceeds from asset sales increased $1.2 billion to $2.5 billion.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales for the first three months of 2012 of $21.8 billion, including asset sales of $2.5 billion, increased $3.6 billion from the comparable 2011 period.

Net cash used in financing activities of $8.1 billion in the first three months of 2012 was $1.4 billion higher than 2011, mostly reflecting a decrease in short-term debt.

During the first quarter of 2012, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 66 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $5.7 billion. These purchases included $5 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding, with the balance used to acquire shares in conjunction with the company’s benefit plans and programs. Shares outstanding decreased from 4,734 million at year-end 2011 to 4,676 million at the end of the first quarter 2012. Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

The Corporation distributed to shareholders a total of $7.2 billion in the first quarter of 2012 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

Total debt of $15.7 billion, which excludes $0.8 billion classified as liabilities associated with assets held for sale (see Note 10), at March 31, 2012, compared to $17.0 billion at year-end 2011. The Corporation’s debt to total capital ratio was 8.7 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2012 compared to 9.6 percent at year-end 2011. The debt to capital ratio would have been 9.1 percent at the end of first quarter 2012 if the $0.8 billion of debt classified as liabilities associated with assets held for sale had been included.

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

The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade. Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in either gains or losses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include potential for future growth and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both.

Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Capital and exploration expenditures were $8.8 billion, up 13 percent from the first quarter of 2011, as ExxonMobil continues with plans to invest about $37 billion per year over the next five years to develop new energy supplies to meet expected growth in demand. Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual results, including project plans, costs, timing, and capacities; capital and exploration expenditures; resource recoveries; and share purchase levels, could differ materially due to factors including: changes in oil or gas prices or other market or economic conditions affecting the oil and gas industry, including the scope and duration of economic recessions; the outcome of exploration and development efforts; changes in law or government regulation, including tax and environmental requirements; the outcome of commercial negotiations; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading “Factors Affecting Future Results” in the “Investors” section of our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil’s 2011 Form 10-K. We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2012, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2011.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporation’s chief executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes during the Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued three administrative orders between June 23, 2011 and February 29, 2012 for XTO Energy Inc.’s (XTO) Coastal, Boggess and Fancher well and compressor pad locations in West Virginia for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. The orders require a delineation to determine Clean Water Act jurisdiction for each site and a restoration plan to address unauthorized impacts to regulated waters. No formal demand has been made by the EPA, but in addition to the requirements contained in the orders, it is expected that the EPA will seek penalties from XTO in excess of $100,000 to resolve the matters at all of the sites.

Following an April 2011 inspection of ExxonMobil Pipeline Company’s (EMPCo) records of its pipeline integrity management program, on November 7, 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline & Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty and Proposed Compliance Order asserting that 1) EMPCo failed to timely conduct hydro-pressure tests to establish Maximum Allowable Operating Pressures (MAOPs) for certain of its pipeline systems (proposed penalty of $109,500), 2) EMPCo inappropriately established a “Discovery” date for a pipeline condition requiring repair (proposed penalty of $20,800), and 3) EMPCo failed to evaluate and repair at least three “immediate repair conditions” in an acceptable amount of time (proposed penalty of $20,800). EMPCo has denied all of the allegations. While the federal regulations require MAOPs for new pipelines to be established via hydro-tests, the regulations set alternative criteria to establish MAOPs for pipelines constructed prior to 1970. EMPCo’s pipelines cited in the Notice were constructed prior to 1970 and their MAOPs were established in conformance with the applicable regulations. An administrative hearing before a PHMSA hearing officer was held in April 2012.

In late 2011 and early 2012, the EPA determined that two suppliers of renewable fuel credits, called Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), had generated invalid RINs that were subsequently transferred to ExxonMobil and used by ExxonMobil in its 2010 compliance report under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard program. On November 7, 2011, the EPA issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to Exxon Mobil Corporation, concerning the use of the invalid RINs generated by one of the suppliers, but did not make a demand for any penalty at that time. In December 2011, ExxonMobil replaced the invalid RINs that were the subject of the November 2011 NOV, and in anticipation that RINs generated by the second supplier would be declared invalid by the EPA, ExxonMobil also replaced RINs generated by this supplier that had been used by ExxonMobil. In February 2012, the EPA issued an NOV to one of those suppliers, charging it with generating invalid RINs. On March 14, 2012, the EPA proposed an Administrative Settlement Agreement (ASA), which includes an administrative penalty of $165,407 to resolve ExxonMobil’s alleged use of invalid RINs in its 2010 report. ExxonMobil and the EPA executed the ASA in April 2012.

Regarding a matter previously reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2008, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (EMOC) has agreed to settle allegations contained in a civil complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney General and Illinois EPA in the Circuit Court of Will County, Illinois, alleging that the Joliet Refinery violated certain air emission regulations and caused petroleum sheens at the facility wharf, in violation of federal and State of Illinois requirements. EMOC has agreed to install an Uninterrupted Power Supply system at its North Sulfur Unit and to pay a civil penalty of $300,000. An Agreed Consent Order was signed by the Illinois EPA, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and EMOC by early May 2012.

Regarding a matter previously reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2011, on February 7, 2012, EMPCo paid a civil penalty of $100,000 to PHMSA to resolve issues in a Final Order finding that EMPCo failed to establish a written procedure for the removal of a temperature probe from a gasoline storage tank at the EMPCo operated petroleum terminal in Spokane, Washington.

Refer to the relevant portions of Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on legal proceedings.

Note 1 —   On August 1, 2000, the Corporation announced its intention to resume purchases of shares of its common stock for the treasury both to offset shares issued in conjunction with company benefit plans and programs and to gradually reduce the number of shares outstanding. The announcement did not specify an amount or expiration date. The Corporation has continued to purchase shares since this announcement and to report purchased volumes in its quarterly earnings releases. In its most recent earnings release dated April 26, 2012, the Corporation stated that second quarter 2012 share purchases to reduce shares outstanding are anticipated to equal $5 billion. Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
