Second-quarter review

Production for the second quarter of 2025 was 2,391 MBOED, an increase of 446 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2025 production increased 72 MBOED or 3% from the same period a year ago.

Lower 48 delivered production of 1,508 MBOED, including 845 MBOED from the Permian, 408 MBOED from the Eagle Ford and 205 MBOED from the Bakken.

Earnings and adjusted earnings decreased from the second quarter of 2024. The quarter benefited from higher production volumes, which were more than offset by lower prices, increased depreciation, depletion and amortization costs, and increased operating costs. The company's total average realized price was $45.77 per BOE, 19% lower than the $56.56 per BOE realized in the second quarter of 2024.

For the quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 billion. Excluding a $1.2 billion change in operating working capital primarily related to timing of tax payments, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of $4.7 billion. In addition, ConocoPhillips received $0.7 billion of disposition proceeds from the sale of Ursa and associated assets. The company funded $3.3 billion of capital expenditures and investments, repurchased $1.2 billion of shares, paid $1.0 billion in ordinary dividends and retired debt of $0.2 billion at maturity.

Six-month review

ConocoPhillips' six-month 2025 earnings were $4.8 billion, or $3.79 per share, compared with six-month 2024 earnings of $4.9 billion, or $4.14 per share. Six-month 2025 adjusted earnings were $4.5 billion, or $3.52 per share, compared with six-month 2024 adjusted earnings of $4.7 billion, or $4.02 per share.

Production for the first six months of 2025 was 2,391 MBOED, an increase of 468 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, production increased 96 MBOED or 4% from the same period a year ago.

The company's total realized price during this period was $49.54 per BOE, 12% lower than the $56.58 per BOE realized in the first six months of 2024.

In the first six months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $9.6 billion. Excluding a $0.6 billion change in operating working capital, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of $10.2 billion and received disposition proceeds of $1.3 billion. The company funded $6.7 billion of capital expenditures and investments, repurchased $2.7 billion of shares, paid $2.0 billion in ordinary dividends and retired debt of $0.7 billion at maturity.

Outlook

Third-quarter 2025 production is expected to be 2.33 to 2.37 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED). Full-year production is expected to be 2.35 to 2.37 MMBOED. The midpoint of full-year production guidance remains unchanged, even after adjusting for announced and closed dispositions.

The full-year effective tax rate is now expected to be in the mid-to-high 30% range, with a full-year deferred tax benefit of approximately $0.5 billion.

ConocoPhillips will host a conference call today at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time to discuss this announcement.

the potential for insufficient liquidity or other factors, such as those described herein, that could impact our ability to repurchase shares and declare and pay dividends, whether fixed or variable;

reductions in our reserve replacement rates, whether as a result of significant declines in commodity prices or otherwise; unsuccessful exploratory drilling activities or the inability to obtain access to exploratory acreage; failure to progress or complete announced and future development plans related to constructing, modifying or operating E&P and LNG facilities, or unexpected changes in costs, inflationary pressures or technical equipment related to such plans;

broader societal attention to and efforts to address climate change may cause substantial investment in and increased adoption of competing or alternative energy sources; risks, uncertainties and high costs that may prevent us from successfully executing on our Climate Risk Strategy; lack or inadequacy of, or disruptions in reliable transportation for our crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs; inability to timely obtain or maintain permits, including those necessary for construction, drilling and/or development, or inability to make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance with any necessary permits or applicable laws or regulations;

uncertainty as to the long-term value of our common stock; and other economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting our business generally as set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless legally required, ConocoPhillips expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves. We may use the term "resource" in this news release that the SEC's guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC and from the ConocoPhillips website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information – To supplement the presentation of the company's financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted earnings (calculated on a consolidated and on a segment-level basis), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), free cash flow (FCF) and cash from operations (CFO).

The company believes that the non-GAAP measure adjusted earnings (both on an aggregate and a per-share basis) is useful to investors to help facilitate comparisons of the company's operating performance associated with the company's core business operations across periods on a consistent basis and with the performance and cost structures of peer companies by excluding items that do not directly relate to the company's core business operations. Adjusted earnings is defined as earnings removing the impact of special items. Adjusted EPS is a measure of the company's diluted net earnings per share excluding special items. The company further believes that the non-GAAP measure CFO is useful to investors to help understand changes in cash provided by operating activities excluding the timing effects associated with operating working capital changes across periods on a consistent basis and with the performance of peer companies. The company believes that the above-mentioned non-GAAP measures, when viewed in combination with the company's results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the company's business and performance. The company's Board of Directors and management also use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the company's operating performance across periods when overseeing and managing the company's business.

Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the company's results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the company's presentation of non-GAAP measures in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including companies in our industry. The company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information from time to time in light of its then existing operations to include other adjustments that may impact its operations.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure presented in this news release to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included in the release.

Other Terms – This news release also contains the term pro forma underlying production. Pro forma underlying production reflects the impact of closed acquisitions and closed dispositions as of June 30, 2025. The impact of closed acquisitions and dispositions assumes a closing date of January 1, 2024. The company believes that underlying production is useful to investors to compare production reflecting the impact of closed acquisitions and dispositions on a consistent go-forward basis across periods and with peer companies. Return of capital is defined as the total of the ordinary dividend and share repurchases. References in the release to earnings refer to net income.
