Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, the “company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “Phillips 66” are used in this report to refer to the businesses of Phillips 66 and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the company’s analysis of its financial performance, financial condition and significant trends that may affect future performance. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report. It contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements relating to the company’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions that are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” “priorities” and similar expressions often identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on events or circumstances as of the date on which the statements are made. The company does not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s disclosures under the heading: “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ‘SAFE HARBOR’ PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.”
The term “earnings” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to net income attributable to Phillips 66. The terms “results,” “before-tax income” or “before-tax loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) before income taxes.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned as a leading integrated downstream energy provider operating with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, Marketing and Specialties (M&S) and Renewable Fuels segments. At March 31, 2026, we had total assets of $84.1 billion. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSX.
Executive Overview
In the first quarter of 2026, we reported earnings of $207 million. In response to the sharp increases in commodity prices and to preserve liquidity, we had net debt borrowings of $7.7 billion and increased our cash and cash equivalents by $4 billion. We used available cash to fund operating activities of $2.3 billion, capital expenditures and investments of $582 million, dividend payments to common stockholders of $509 million and repurchases of our common stock of $269 million. The use of cash in operating activities was primarily due to unfavorable net working capital impacts, which was primarily driven by an increase in inventory and higher accounts receivable, partially offset by higher accounts payable; as well as, the funding of approximately $3 billion of cash collateral on derivative positions. As of March 31, 2026, we had $5.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $0.8 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.

Strategic Priorities Update
In early 2025, we announced the next phase of the company’s strategic priorities along with financial and operational performance targets through year-end 2027. These targets demonstrate the company’s continued focus on world-class operations; disciplined growth and returns; financial strength and flexibility and shareholder returns.
•World-Class Operations – We are focused on operational and cost reduction targets driving world-class operations across our portfolio. Optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations will enable us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. We remain focused on a competitive cost structure and plan to enhance Refining segment returns and increase our utilization rates by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability and improve market capture.
•We continue to focus on Refining performance, targeting an annual clean product yield of greater than 86%, crude oil capacity utilization rates higher than industry average and continuing to improve our competitive cost structure.
•Disciplined Growth and Returns – A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we make investments that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy remains focused on growing our Midstream and Chemicals businesses. Within our Midstream segment, we are primarily focused on maximizing the value of our fully integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) wellhead-to-market value chain.
•We budgeted $2.4 billion for 2026 capital expenditures and investments, exclusive of acquisitions and our share of capital spending by equity affiliates. This includes $1.3 billion of growth capital, primarily in our Midstream segment.
•Our financial targets through 2027 reflect our plans to organically grow our Midstream and Chemicals businesses, as well as maintain total annual capital expenditures and investments of approximately $2.5 billion.
•Financial Strength and Flexibility – We use a variety of funding sources to support our liquidity requirements, including cash from operations, debt and proceeds from dispositions. Our focus remains on protecting the stable cash generation from the Midstream and M&S businesses while evaluating future opportunities to optimize our portfolio.
•We are targeting reductions of total debt to $17 billion and reductions of our debt-to-capital ratio by the end of 2027.
•Shareholder Returns – We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. Our financial target aims to return greater than 50% of net cash provided by operating activities, excluding working capital, to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. This amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases is subject to the discretion of, and approval by, our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
•In February and April 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share, reflecting our commitment to a secure, competitive and growing dividend.

Business Environment
During March 2026, the business environment in which we operate was impacted by significant movements in commodity prices as a result of geopolitical events in the Middle East. The global crude oil market quickly shifted into structural deficit and the disruption materially reduced crude oil and refined products from the markets, pushing benchmark crude oil prices at the end of the quarter above $100 per barrel. In addition, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and petrochemical markets have materially tightened. While these impacts were most notable during the last month of the quarter, due to the uncertainty regarding duration, continued disruptions could materially impact our future results.
Below is a discussion of additional factors impacting our environment during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025.
Our Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL and natural gas prices. The weighted-average NGL price was $0.62 per gallon during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $0.74 per gallon during the first quarter of 2025. The Henry Hub natural gas price was $4.87 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $4.27 per MMBtu during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in NGL prices was primarily due to increased supply, while the increase in natural gas prices was due to increased liquified natural gas exports as U.S. export infrastructure increases.
Our Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. The benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin was 10.7 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 10.9 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to higher ethane prices, partially driven by rising natural gas prices, and continued industry capacity additions supporting higher global demand.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity and other operating costs. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. The composite 3:2:1 market crack spread for our business increased to an average of $20.56 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, from an average of $15.83 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the composite market crack spread was primarily driven by stronger petroleum diesel demand, supported by low seasonal inventories, and geopolitical events reducing global product resupply. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average of $71.98 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, from an average of $71.46 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025. The increase in crude oil prices was primarily driven by geopolitical events in the Middle East restricting global crude supply.
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices and, where applicable, retail prices for refined products in the regions and countries where we operate.
Our Renewable Fuels segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable products at the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex (Rodeo Complex) and at our Humber Refinery. In addition, this segment includes global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels. Results for our Renewable Fuels segment are impacted by several factors, including the market price of renewable fuels, feedstock costs, throughput, operating costs and the value of certain regulatory credits, as well as other market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the company’s analysis of its financial performance, financial condition, and significant trends that may affect future performance. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The term “earnings” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to net income attributable to Phillips 66. The terms “results,” “before-tax income” or “before-tax loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) before income taxes.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned as a leading integrated downstream energy provider operating with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, Marketing and Specialties (M&S), and Renewable Fuels segments. At December 31, 2025, we had total assets of $73.7 billion.
Executive Overview
During 2025, we reported earnings of $4.4 billion and generated $5 billion in cash from operating activities. We funded capital expenditures and investments of $2.2 billion, completed acquisitions of $3.5 billion, net of cash acquired and received proceeds from asset dispositions of $3.5 billion. We paid $1.2 billion to repurchase common stock and $1.9 billion to fund dividends on our common stock. Additionally, we paid $0.4 billion of debt repayments, net of proceeds from debt issuances. We ended 2025 with $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $5.7 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.
Strategic Priorities
In January 2025, we announced the next phase of the company’s strategic priorities along with financial and operational performance targets through year-end 2027. These targets demonstrate the company’s continued focus on world-class operations; disciplined growth and returns; financial strength and flexibility and shareholder returns.
•World-Class Operations – We are focused on operational and cost reduction targets driving world-class operations across our portfolio. Optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations will enable us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. We remain focused on a competitive cost structure and plan to enhance Refining segment returns and increase our utilization rates by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability and improve market capture.
▪We continue to focus on Refining performance, targeting an annual clean product yield of greater than 86%, crude oil capacity utilization rates higher than industry average and continuing to improve our competitive cost structure. During 2025, our worldwide refining crude oil capacity average utilization rate was 94% for 2025, and our worldwide refining clean product yield was 87%.
▪During the fourth quarter of 2025, we ceased fuel production and began idling the facilities at our Los Angeles Refinery.

•Disciplined Growth and Returns – A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we make investments that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy remains focused on growing our Midstream and Chemicals businesses. Within our Midstream segment, we are primarily focused on maximizing the value of our fully integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) wellhead-to-market value chain.
▪In 2025, we funded capital expenditures and investments of $2.2 billion and completed a Midstream acquisition of $2.2 billion. We also acquired the remaining 50% interest in WRB Refining LP (WRB) for $1.3 billion, which will enable full integration with our broader value chain and expand our position in the Central Corridor region. This growth was achieved in part through $3.5 billion in proceeds from asset dispositions, including $1.7 billion from the sale of 65% of our interest in Germany and Austria retail marketing business (Germany and Austria Marketing), $1.2 billion from the sale of our 49% interest in Coop Mineraloel AG (Coop), and $853 million from the sale of DCP Midstream, LP’s (DCP LP) 25% ownership in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (GCX). See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the investment dispositions.
▪We budgeted $2.4 billion for 2026 capital expenditures and investments, exclusive of acquisitions and our share of capital spending by equity affiliates. This includes $1.3 billion of growth capital, primarily in our Midstream segment.
▪During 2025, we continued the expansion of our Midstream NGL wellhead-to-market platform through acquiring all issued and outstanding equity interests in each of EPIC Y-Grade GP, LLC and EPIC Y-Grade, LP (collectively referred to herein as Coastal Bend), together with their respective subsidiaries, which own various long haul NGL pipelines, fractionation facilities and distribution systems. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
▪Our financial targets through 2027 reflect our plans to organically grow our Midstream and Chemicals businesses, as well as maintain total annual capital expenditures and investments of approximately $2.5 billion, including capital related to WRB following the consolidation on October 1, 2025.
•Financial Strength and Flexibility – We use a variety of funding sources to support our liquidity requirements, including cash from operations, debt and proceeds from dispositions. Our focus remains on protecting the stable cash generation from the Midstream and M&S businesses while evaluating future opportunities to optimize our portfolio.
▪During 2025, we used available cash and proceeds from asset dispositions and debt offerings to fund capital expenditures and investments, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock.
▪We are targeting reductions of total debt to $17 billion and reductions of our debt-to-capital ratio by the end of 2027.
•Shareholder Returns – We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. Our financial target aims to return greater than 50% of net cash provided by operating activities, excluding working capital, to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. This amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases is subject to the discretion of, and approval by, our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
▪In February 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share, representing a $0.07 increase, reflecting our commitment to a secure, competitive and growing dividend.

Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL and natural gas prices. The weighted-average NGL price was $0.64 per gallon during 2025, compared with $0.68 per gallon during 2024. The Henry Hub natural gas price was $3.54 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) during 2025, compared with $2.24 per MMBtu during 2024. The decrease in NGL prices was primarily due to increased supply, while the increase in natural gas prices was due to increased liquified natural gas exports as U.S. export infrastructure increases.
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. The benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin was 7.1 cents per pound in 2025, compared with 17.7 cents per pound in 2024. The decrease was mainly due to higher ethane prices, partially driven by rising natural gas prices, and continued industry oversupply from capacity additions.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. The composite 3:2:1 market crack spread for our business increased to an average of $20.42 per barrel during 2025, from an average of $16.95 per barrel in 2024. The increase in the composite market crack spread was primarily driven by stronger petroleum diesel demand, supported by low seasonal inventories, and lower crude prices. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Oklahoma, decreased to an average of $64.89 per barrel during 2025, from an average of $75.83 per barrel in 2024. The decrease in crude oil prices was primarily driven by increased global production, including production in the United States.
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined products in the regions and countries where we operate.
Our Renewable Fuels segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable products at the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex (Rodeo Complex) and at our Humber Refinery. In addition, this segment includes global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels. Results for our Renewable Fuels segment are impacted by several factors, including the market price of renewable fuels, feedstock costs, throughput, operating costs, and the value of certain regulatory credits, as well as other market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand.

2025 vs. 2024
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $4,403 million, compared with $2,117 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 was primarily due to a before-tax aggregate gain of $1.9 billion associated with the partial sale of Germany and Austria Marketing in December 2025, improved realized refining margins, primarily driven by higher market crack spreads, as well as a before-tax gain of $1 billion associated with the sale of our investment in Coop recognized in January 2025 in the M&S segment. These increases were partially offset by a before-tax impairment of $948 million recognized in the third quarter of 2025, related to our equity method investment in WRB, as well as lower equity earnings from CPChem.
2024 vs. 2023
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $2,117 million, compared with $7,015 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to a decline in realized refining margins mainly driven by lower market crack spreads, partially offset by lower income tax expense.

Statement of Income Analysis
2025 vs. 2024
Sales and other operating revenues decreased 8%, primarily due to lower prices for crude oil, refined petroleum products, and NGL, partially offset by higher crude oil, NGL, renewable diesel, and renewable jet fuel sales volumes. Purchased crude oil and products decreased 11% in 2025, primarily due to lower prices for crude oil, refined petroleum products, and NGL, partially offset by higher crude oil and NGL product purchase volumes.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 57% in 2025, primarily due to lower equity earnings from CPChem and Excel Paralubes LLC (Excel Paralubes) as a result of decreased margins. The decrease in 2025 was additionally impacted by lower equity earnings from the sales of ownership interests in Coop and GCX in January 2025, as well as lower equity earnings from WRB prior to our acquisition on October 1, 2025, due to lower refining margins. See the Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information regarding CPChem. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, and Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sales of ownership interests and WRB acquisition, respectively.
Net gain on dispositions increased $2,663 million in 2025, primarily due to a before-tax gain of $1.9 billion associated with the partial sale of Germany and Austria Marketing in December 2025, as well as a before-tax gain of $1 billion associated with the sale of our investment in Coop in January 2025, both recognized in the M&S segment. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a before-tax gain of $238 million recognized in the Midstream segment in the second quarter of 2024, associated with the sale of our ownership interest in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX). See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the dispositions.
Other income increased $195 million in 2025, primarily due to the recognition of Clean Fuel Production credits beginning in 2025.
Operating expenses increased $484 million in 2025, primarily due to our acquisitions of WRB in October 2025 and Coastal Bend in April 2025. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 13% in 2025, mainly driven by an accrual of $605 million recorded in 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels, Inc. (Propel Fuels), compared with $262 million recorded in 2025 related to the same matter. See Note 18—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Depreciation and amortization increased 38% in 2025, primarily due to accelerated depreciation for the Los Angeles Refinery, as well as additional depreciation on the assets from the Coastal Bend acquisition in April 2025. See Note 4—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the cessation of fuel production and idling of the Los Angeles Refinery and Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Coastal Bend acquisition.
Impairments increased $604 million in 2025, primarily due to the before-tax impairment of $948 million related to our equity method investment in WRB recognized in the third quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by a before-tax impairment of $224 million recognized in the second quarter of 2024 related to certain Midstream gathering and processing assets in Texas and a before-tax impairment of $163 million recognized in the first quarter of 2024 related to certain crude oil processing and logistics assets in California. See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding impairments.
Taxes other than income taxes increased $462 million in 2025, primarily due to the expiration of the Biodiesel Blender Tax Credit as of December 31, 2024.
46
Interest and debt expense increased 15% in 2025, primarily driven by higher average debt balances. See Note 15—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our debt issuances and repayments.
Income tax expense increased 78% in 2025, primarily due to higher income before income taxes. See Note 25—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $67 million in 2025, due to improved results from DCP LP, including a gain on sale of DCP LP’s equity investment in GCX in January 2025. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
2024 vs. 2023
Sales and other operating revenues decreased 3%, primarily due to lower prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil, partially offset by an increase in prices for NGL. Purchased crude oil and products increased 1% in 2024, primarily due to higher refined product purchase volumes, partially offset by lower prices for refined petroleum products.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 12% in 2024, primarily due to lower equity earnings from WRB as a result of decreased margins, REX due to the sale of our ownership interest in 2024, South Texas Gateway Terminal due to the sale of our ownership interest in 2023, and Excel Paralubes due to declining margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower maintenance costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher equity earnings from CPChem. See the Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information.
Net gain on dispositions increased $206 million in 2024, primarily due to a before-tax gain of $238 million associated with the sale of our ownership interest in REX, as well as a before-tax gain of $67 million associated with the foreign currency forward contracts entered into in connection with the sale of our ownership interest in Coop. These increases were partially offset by before-tax gains totaling $137 million associated with the sales of our ownership interests in the South Texas Gateway Terminal and the Belle Chasse Terminal in 2023. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our sales of REX and Coop.
Other income decreased 32% in 2024, primarily due to lower interest income as a result of lower cash balances and decreased results from trading activities. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% in 2024, mainly driven by an accrual of $605 million recorded during the third quarter of 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels. The increase was partially offset by lower employee-related expenses and selling expenses. See Note 18—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our litigation with Propel Fuels.
Depreciation and amortization increased 20% in 2024, primarily due to $253 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in 2024 associated with our plan to cease operations at our Los Angeles Refinery during the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as depreciation and amortization associated with the startup of additional production capacity at the Rodeo Complex. See Note 4—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the idling of our Los Angeles Refinery.
Impairments increased $432 million in 2024, primarily due to before-tax impairments recorded in our Midstream segment of certain gathering and processing assets in Texas, an equity investment in a crude pipeline in Oklahoma and certain crude gathering assets in Texas. In 2024, we also recorded before-tax impairments in our Midstream and Refining segments related to certain crude oil processing and logistics assets in California. See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding impairments.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 53% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in tax credits generated from higher renewable diesel production and blending activity.
47
Income tax expense decreased 78% in 2024, primarily due to lower income before income taxes. See Note 25—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased 74% in 2024. The decrease primarily reflects the impacts of the acquisition of all publicly held common units of DCP LP in June 2023 (DCP LP Merger), as well as the impacts of before-tax impairments reported in our Midstream segment related to certain DCP LP gathering and processing assets in Texas. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, and Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Midstream segment provides crude oil and refined petroleum product transportation, terminaling and processing services; natural gas and NGL gathering, processing, transportation, fractionation, storage export and marketing services.
2025 vs. 2024
Results from our Midstream segment increased $179 million in 2025, compared with 2024.
Results from our Transportation business decreased $374 million in 2025, compared with 2024. The decrease in 2025 was primarily due to the impacts from the sale of our ownership interest in REX in the second quarter of 2024, lower equity earnings from Dakota Access, LLC and the retirement of a rail rack at the Los Angeles Refinery.
Results from our NGL business increased $553 million in 2025, compared with 2024. The increase was due to a before-tax impairment charge recognized in 2024 associated with certain gathering and processing assets in Texas and results from the Coastal Bend operations acquired in April 2025. Additionally, the increase in 2025 was impacted by a before-tax gain from the sale of DCP LP’s ownership interest in GCX in January 2025, increased gathering and processing activity in the Permian region associated with our acquisition of Pinnacle Midland Parent LLC (herein referred to as Dos Picos), and improved export activity. These increases were partially offset by a before-tax impairment charge of $79 million related to our equity investment in an NGL pipeline in Texas in the fourth quarter of 2025.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting 2025 results. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding Coastal Bend and Dos Picos acquisitions.

Results from our Midstream segment decreased $181 million in 2024, compared with 2023.
Results from our Transportation business decreased $18 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to before-tax impairments totaling $122 million, partially offset by an increase in before-tax gains on sales of assets. We sold our ownership interest in REX in 2024 and recorded a before-tax gain of $238 million, compared to before-tax gains recorded in 2023 associated with the sales of our ownership interests in the South Texas Gateway Terminal and the Belle Chasse Terminal which totaled $137 million.
Results from our NGL business decreased $163 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to before-tax impairment charges recognized in 2024 associated with certain gathering and processing assets in Texas, as well as unfavorable pricing driven by falling natural gas prices and winter weather impacts. These decreases were partially offset by improved pipeline volumes and higher liquefied petroleum gas cargo volumes and margins.
See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the sale of our ownership interest in REX.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals. CPChem produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. CPChem manufactures and/or markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene, as well as manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
2025 vs. 2024
Results from the Chemicals segment decreased $579 million in 2025, compared with 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced polyethylene margins driven by lower sales prices and higher feedstock costs, as well as increased utility costs.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 2025 results.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Chemicals segment increased $276 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The increase was primarily due to improved margins driven by higher sales prices and lower feedstock costs, as well as increased volumes and decreased utility costs.

In October 2023, we further reduced net crude throughput capacity from 75 MB/D to 52 MB/D as we shut down one of the two crude units at the Rodeo facility. The Rodeo facility’s net crude throughput capacity of 52 MB/D prior to shutdown was excluded from the 2024 operating statistics above. |
The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline and distillates, including aviation fuels, as of December 31, 2025, at 10 refineries in the United States and Europe.
2025 vs. 2024
Results from the Refining segment increased $91 million in 2025, compared with 2024. The increase was driven by higher realized margins, higher volumes, and benefits associated with claims and settlements. The increase in realized margin was primarily due to improved market crack spreads, partially offset by weaker product differentials, and higher Renewable Identification Number (RIN) costs. Additionally, the increase in 2025 was partially offset by a before-tax impairment of $948 million related to our equity method investment in WRB recorded in the third quarter of 2025, and accelerated depreciation for the Los Angeles Refinery.
53
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 94% and 95% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on industry crack spreads and other market factors impacting this year’s results. See Note 4—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to accelerated depreciation. See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impairment of our equity method investment in WRB.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Refining segment decreased $5,705 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized margins as a result of declining market crack spreads.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 95% and 92% in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined products, mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of base oils and lubricants.
2025 vs. 2024
Before-tax income from the M&S segment increased $3.5 billion in 2025, compared with 2024. The increase in 2025 was primarily driven by a before-tax aggregate gain of $1.9 billion associated with the partial sale of Germany and Austria Marketing in December 2025, a before-tax gain of $1 billion associated with the sale of our investment in Coop, as well as higher U.S. and international marketing fuel margins. Additionally, the increase in 2025 was impacted by an accrual of $605 million recorded in 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels, compared with $262 million recorded in 2025 related to the same matter.

2024 vs. 2023
Before-tax income from the M&S segment decreased $886 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily driven by an accrual of $605 million recorded during the third quarter of 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels, as well as lower U.S. marketing fuel margins.

The Renewable Fuels segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable products at the Rodeo Complex and at our Humber Refinery. In addition, this segment includes the global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels.
2025 vs. 2024
Results from the Renewable Fuels segment decreased $182 million in 2025, compared with 2024. The decline was primarily driven by increased feedstock costs from full-year facility operations, along with unfavorable inventory impacts. These decreases were partially offset by increased renewable product sales, as well as, higher credit generation.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Renewable Fuels segment decreased $351 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by higher costs related to the ramp-up of the Rodeo Complex.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Corporate overhead and other includes general and administrative expenses, technology costs, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, restructuring costs related to our business transformation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. Corporate and Other also includes the change in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX. See Note 20—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
2025 vs. 2024
Net interest expense increased $153 million in 2025, compared with 2024, primarily driven by higher average debt balances.
Corporate overhead and other increased $90 million in 2025, compared with 2024, primarily due to higher depreciation expense associated with information technology assets, as well as higher advisory fees recorded during the second quarter of 2025 related to proxy solicitation services.
The fair value of our investment in NOVONIX declined by $13 million during 2025, compared with a decline of $3 million during 2024.
2024 vs. 2023
Net interest expense increased $116 million in 2024, compared with 2023, primarily driven by decreased interest income as a result of lower cash balances.
Corporate overhead and other decreased $133 million in 2024, compared with 2023, primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees associated with our business transformation, as well as lower employee-related expenses.
The fair value of our investment in NOVONIX declined by $3 million during 2024, compared with a decline of $39 million during 2023.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources, but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During 2025, we generated $5.0 billion in cash from operations and we received proceeds from asset dispositions of $3.5 billion. We funded capital expenditures and investments of $2.2 billion and completed acquisitions of $3.5 billion, net of cash acquired. Additionally, we paid $1.2 billion to repurchase shares of our common stock, paid $1.9 billion of dividends to our common stockholders, and repaid $0.4 billion of debt, net of proceeds from debt issuances. During 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.6 billion to $1.1 billion. At this time, we believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described herein, will be sufficient to fund our obligations over the short- and long-term.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During 2025, cash generated by operating activities was $5.0 billion, a $0.8 billion increase compared with 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings, driven by improved realized refining margins, partially offset by unfavorable working capital impacts.
During 2024, cash generated by operating activities was $4.2 billion, a $2.8 billion decrease compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings, driven by a decline in realized refining margins, partially offset by more favorable working capital impacts.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impacts our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability, and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by fluctuations in margins and prices. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 94%, 95% and 92% in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our worldwide refining clean product yield was 87%, 87% and 85% in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
59
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates. Over the three years ended December 31, 2025, operating cash flows included aggregate distributions from our equity affiliates of $3.4 billion. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these equity affiliates are not assured.

Term Loan Agreement
On March 27, 2023, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, entered into a $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan agreement guaranteed by Phillips 66 (the Term Loan Agreement). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a single borrowing during a 90-day period commencing on the closing date, which borrowing was contingent upon the completion of the DCP LP Merger. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants similar to those contained in our revolving credit agreement, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Term Loan Agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate plus the applicable margin, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. At December 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, as the remaining balance was prepaid in full on December 4, 2025. At December 31, 2024, $550 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, which had a maturity date of June 2026. This agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2025.
Related Party Advance Term Loan Agreements
On December 31, 2024, WRB distributed its Advance Term Loan with a principal balance of $290 million, including the right to receive any accrued but unpaid interest, to Phillips 66 Company, resulting in the reduction of our related party debt balance and our investment in WRB by $290 million. The distribution was recognized as a non-cash investing and financing transaction.
Accounts Receivable Securitization
On September 30, 2024, Phillips 66 Company entered into a 364-day, $500 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the Receivables Securitization Facility). Under the Receivables Securitization Facility, Phillips 66 Company sells or contributes on an ongoing basis, certain of its accounts receivable, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to its wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips 66 Receivables LLC (P66 Receivables), a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the Receivables Securitization Facility. On April 1, 2025, Phillips 66 Company amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum size of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $500 million to $1 billion. On September 29, 2025, Phillips 66 Company amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum size of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $1 billion to $1.25 billion and extend the term of the facility through September 28, 2026. Under the amended Receivables Securitization Facility, P66 Receivables may borrow and incur indebtedness from, and/or sell certain accounts receivable in an amount not to exceed $1.25 billion in the aggregate, and will secure its obligations with a pledge of undivided interests in such receivables, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties thereunder. Accounts receivable outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility accrue interest at an adjusted SOFR plus the applicable margin. In all instances, Phillips 66 Company retains the servicing of the accounts receivables transferred.
P66 Receivables’ sole activity consists of purchasing accounts receivable from Phillips 66 Company, providing those accounts receivable as collateral for P66 Receivables’ borrowings or on-selling certain of its accounts receivable under the Receivables Securitization Facility. P66 Receivables is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors, who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of P66 Receivables’ assets prior to assets or value in P66 Receivables becoming available to P66 Receivables’ equity holders. The assets of P66 Receivables, including any funds of P66 Receivables that may be commingled with funds of any of its affiliates for purposes of cash management and related efficiencies, are not available to pay creditors of Phillips 66 Company, Phillips 66 or any affiliate thereof. Collections on accounts receivable in excess of amounts owed by P66 Receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility are available to P66 Receivables for payment to Phillips 66 Company, for sales of its accounts receivable to P66 Receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility, and otherwise for distribution to Phillips 66 Company, in each
61
case, subject to the terms set forth in the Receivables Securitization Facility. The amount available for borrowing or sale of accounts receivable may be limited by the availability of eligible accounts receivable and other customary factors and conditions, as well as the covenants set forth in the Receivables Securitization Facility.
Sales of accounts receivable under the Receivables Securitization Facility meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. P66 Receivables guarantees payment, in full, for accounts receivable sold to the purchasers. Cash receipts from the sale of accounts receivable under the Receivables Securitization Facility, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities. For the year-ended December 31, 2025, we sold $759 million in accounts receivable in exchange for cash proceeds of $290 million, and a $469 million reduction in our borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility which was recognized as a non-cash financing transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold $125 million in accounts receivable in exchange for a $125 million reduction in our borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility, which was recognized as a non-cash financing transaction. We recognized immaterial charges associated with the transfer of financial assets, which are included as a component within the line item “Selling, general and administrative expense” on our consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $125 million and $121 million of the sold accounts receivable remained uncollected, respectively, which represents our maximum potential future exposure under the guarantee associated with the Receivables Securitization Facility.
Borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility are recognized as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. Borrowings are secured by the accounts receivable, held by P66 Receivables, which remain reported as accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had outstanding borrowings of $200 million and $375 million, respectively. These borrowings were secured by accounts receivable held by P66 Receivables of $4.4 billion and $4.6 billion for 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included within the “Accounts and notes receivable” line item on our consolidated balance sheet.
At December 31, 2025, we had utilized $367 million of the $1.25 billion capacity of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $167 million of sold accounts receivable not yet remitted to the Administrative Agent and $200 million of outstanding borrowings. At December 31, 2024, we had utilized the full $500 million capacity of our Receivables Securitization Facility from $125 million of sold accounts receivable not yet remitted to the Administrative Agent and $375 million of outstanding borrowings.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
In addition to the Receivables Securitization Facility, discussed above, the Company entered into other facilities with various financial institutions during the fourth quarter of 2025 that enable the Company to sell certain eligible accounts receivable to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. Sales of accounts receivable under these facilities meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. Cash receipts from the sale of accounts receivable, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities. The Company retains the servicing on all accounts receivable sold under these facilities. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold $195 million of accounts receivable under these facilities for cash proceeds. We recognized immaterial charges associated with these transfers, which are included as a component within the line item “Selling, general and administrative expense” on our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On February 28, 2024, we entered into a new $5 billion revolving credit agreement (the Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor and a scheduled maturity date of February 28, 2029. The Facility replaced our previous $5 billion revolving credit facility dated as of June 23, 2022, with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor, and the previous revolving credit facility was terminated. The Facility contains customary covenants similar to the previous revolving credit facility, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Facility has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. We have the option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the Facility for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term SOFR (as described in the Facility) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Facility) plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for the commitment fee and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for our senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, no amounts were drawn under the Facility or the previous revolving credit facility.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by the Facility.

Phillips 66 Availability of Debt Financing
In September 2025, Moody’s Ratings announced a long-term credit rating change for the company to Baa1 from A3 and affirmed the P-2 rating assigned to the company’s commercial paper program. Moody’s Ratings’ current outlook is stable. Standard & Poor’s currently rates the company’s long-term debt at BBB+ with a stable outlook and commercial paper at A-2. Both agencies’ ratings are considered investment grade. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings could prohibit us from accessing the commercial paper market. However, a rating downgrade by one or both rating agencies would not trigger an automatic default under any of our corporate debt and we would expect to maintain access to funds under our existing liquidity facilities.
DCP LP Availability of Debt Financing
DCP LP has a Baa2 credit rating, with a positive outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard and Poor’s. These ratings facilitate DCP LP’s access to a variety of lenders. DCP LP does not have any ratings triggers on any of its corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or more rating agencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we had the option at the end of the existing lease term to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. In September 2025, we amended and extended the lease term to September 2030. Under the new operating lease agreement, we have a residual value guarantee with a maximum potential future exposure of $404 million at December 31, 2025.
We also have residual value guarantees associated with railcar, airplane and truck leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $175 million. These leases have remaining terms of one to ten years.
Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing environmental impacts from an easement allowing the passage of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. Later in 2020, the trial court vacated the easement, but operations have been allowed to continue while the USACE proceeds with the EIS as ordered. The Tribe’s requests for a shutdown have been denied. Most recently, in March 2025, the trial court dismissed a second lawsuit filed by the Tribe, again challenging USACE’s allowance of pipeline operations while the EIS process proceeds. The Tribe’s lawsuit was premature, and the trial court held that it cannot be refiled until after a final EIS is issued.
In December 2025, the USACE published its final EIS, completing its analysis of alternatives. The final EIS evaluates five alternatives: two no-action alternatives (denial with restoration or abandonment) and three action alternatives, with one marked as USACE’s preferred alternative, that would grant the easement under varying conditions. The preferred alternative would grant the easement subject to the same conditions as the 2017 easement but would authorize an increased throughput volume of 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), up from the previous 570,000 bpd under the original authorization. The remaining action alternatives would impose either additional operational conditions or require an alternate pipeline route, both of which may entail substantial implementation costs and could have a material impact on our financial statements.
We await a Record of Decision (ROD), which will provide a definitive statement of the selected alternative and any related conditions. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and affiliated parties may file a new lawsuit in Washington, D.C., challenging the ROD shortly after it is issued.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of senior unsecured notes issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access. On April 1, 2024, Dakota Access’ wholly owned subsidiary repaid $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior notes upon maturity. We funded our 25% share of the repayment, or $250 million, with a capital contribution of $171 million in March 2024 and $79 million of distributions we elected not to receive from Dakota Access in the first quarter of 2024. At December 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Dakota Access’ senior unsecured notes was $850 million.
In addition, Phillips 66 Partners and its co-venturers in Dakota Access also provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering. Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above-mentioned ongoing litigation. At December 31, 2025, our 25% share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $215 million. If the pipeline is required to cease operations, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Should operations cease and Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay its expenses, we also could be required to support our 25% share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $10 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU at December 31, 2025.
See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial statements for additional information regarding our investments in Dakota Access and ETCO. See Note 17—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding guarantees.

On December 4, 2025, Phillips 66 Company repaid the remaining $550 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, which had a maturity date of June 2026, and terminated this agreement.
On June 27, 2025, DCP LP early redeemed the outstanding $525 million of its 5.375% Senior Notes due July 2025, with an aggregate principal amount of $825 million.
On February 18, 2025, upon maturity, Phillips 66 Partners repaid its 3.605% Senior Notes due February 2025, with an aggregate principal amount of $59 million.
On December 16, 2024, upon maturity, Phillips 66 Company and Phillips 66 Partners repaid the 2.450% Senior Notes due December 2024 with an aggregate principal amount of $300 million.
On March 29, 2024, DCP LP early redeemed $300 million of its 5.375% Senior Notes due July 2025, at par with an aggregate principal amount of $825 million.
On March 4, 2024, Phillips 66 Company repaid $700 million of the $1.25 billion borrowed under its delayed draw term loan that matures in June 2026.
On February 15, 2024, upon maturity, Phillips 66 repaid its 0.900% senior notes due February 2024 with an aggregate principal amount of $800 million.
DCP LP Cash Distributions to Unitholders
DCP LP’s partnership agreement requires it to distribute all available cash within 45 days after the end of each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2025, DCP LP made cash distributions of $130 million to common unitholders other than Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the DCP LP public common unit acquisition.
Discharge of Senior Notes
On September 20, 2024, we extinguished (i) the remaining $441 million outstanding principal amount of Phillips 66 Company’s 3.605% senior notes due February 2025 (2025 P66 Co Notes), and (ii) the remaining $650 million outstanding principal amount of Phillips 66’s 3.850% senior notes due April 2025 (the 2025 PSX Notes, and together with the 2025 P66 Co Notes, the Discharged Notes), whereby we irrevocably transferred a total of $1.1 billion in government obligations to the trustee of the 2025 P66 Co Notes and the 2025 PSX Notes. The cash paid to purchase the government obligations is included within investing cash flows on our consolidated statement of cash flows. These government obligations yielded sufficient principal and interest over their remaining term to permit the trustee to satisfy the remaining principal and interest due on the Discharged Notes on the applicable maturity dates. On September 20, 2024, Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company ceased to be the primary obligors under the Discharged Notes. The transfer of the government obligations to the trustee was accounted for as a transfer of financial assets. The Discharged Notes and the government obligations were derecognized from our balance sheet at December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized an immaterial gain on the extinguishment of this debt.
66
Acquisitions
On October 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WRB from Cenovus for total cash consideration of $1.3 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments. This acquisition, which will enable full integration with our broader value chain and expand our position in the Central Corridor region, was funded with cash and borrowings under our short-term liquidity facilities. Associated with the acquisition, we assumed $450 million of short-term debt at acquisition and was also fully repaid on October 1, 2025. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the second quarter of 2025, we completed the Coastal Bend acquisition, which own various long haul NGL pipelines, fractionation facilities and distribution systems, for total consideration of $2.2 billion, net of cash acquired. This acquisition further enhances our wellhead-to-market strategy and was funded with cash and borrowings under our short-term liquidity facilities. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On October 1, 2024, we acquired a marketing business on the U.S. West Coast in our M&S segment for total consideration of $68 million. These operations were acquired to support the placement of renewable diesel produced by the Rodeo Complex.
On July 1, 2024, we acquired Dos Picos in our Midstream segment to expand our natural gas gathering and processing operations in the Permian Basin for cash consideration of $565 million.
Pending Acquisition
On January 5, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets and associated infrastructure of the Lindsey Oil Refinery. The closing date of this transaction is dependent on regulatory approval and completion of other customary closing conditions.
Dividends
On February 11, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share. The dividend is payable March 4, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 25, 2026.
Share Repurchases
Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $25 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock, and we have repurchased 248 million shares at an aggregate cost of $22.7 billion. In 2025, we repurchased 9.7 million shares at an aggregate cost of $1.2 billion. Our share repurchase authorizations do not expire. Any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.
67
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, outstanding debt principal and interest obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, and asset retirement and environmental obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled with operating cash flows in the period when due. At December 31, 2025, our purchase obligations totaled $76.9 billion, with $39.7 billion due within one year.
The majority of our purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including exchanges and futures, for the purchase of commodities such as crude oil and NGL. The commodities are used to supply our refineries and fractionators and optimize our supply chain. At December 31, 2025, commodity purchase commitments with third parties and related parties were $43.0 billion and $19.8 billion, respectively. The remaining purchase obligations mainly represent agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store products.
Debt Principal and Interest Obligations
As of December 31, 2025, our aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt was $19.9 billion, with $1.0 billion due within one year. Our obligations for interest on the debt totaled $14.4 billion, with $947 million due within one year. See Note 15—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our outstanding debt principal and interest obligations.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
See Note 22—Leases, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our lease obligations and timing of our expected lease payments.
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations
See Note 13—Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding asset retirement and environmental obligations.

** Our share of joint ventures’ capital spending.
Midstream
Capital spending in our Midstream segment was $2.6 billion for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, primarily for:
•Completion of a second Dos Picos gas plant and increased capacity on the Coastal Bend pipeline, further expanding our NGL operations.
•Gathering and processing projects to further align our wellhead-to-market strategy.
•Spending associated with other reliability and maintenance projects in our Transportation and NGL businesses.
Chemicals
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, CPChem had a self-funded capital program that totaled $5.2 billion on a 100% basis. Capital spending was primarily for the development of petrochemical projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the Middle East, as well as sustaining, debottlenecking and optimization projects on existing assets.
Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, was $1.9 billion, primarily for projects to improve reliability at our refineries and installation of facilities to improve market capture, product value and utilization, such as our recently completed Sweeny Crude Flex project.
Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, was $304 million, primarily for the continued development and enhancement of retail sites in Europe, marketing-related information technology enhancements, investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the United States, spend associated with marketing and commercial fleet fueling businesses on the U.S. West Coast and reliability and maintenance projects for our Specialties business.
69
Renewable Fuels
Capital spending for the Renewable Fuels segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, was $1.2 billion, primarily related to the construction of facilities to produce renewable fuels at the Rodeo Complex.
Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, was $208 million, primarily related to information technology, energy research & innovation, and facilities.
2026 Budget
Our 2026 capital budget is $2.4 billion, including $1.1 billion for sustaining capital and $1.3 billion for growth capital. Our projected $2.4 billion capital budget excludes our portion of planned capital spending by CPChem totaling $680 million.
Midstream capital budget of $1.1 billion comprises $400 million for sustaining projects and $700 million for growth projects. The Midstream capital budget advances the integrated NGL wellhead-to-market value chain by strengthening our position in key basins, including by increasing gas processing, pipeline and fractionation capacity. In Refining, we plan to invest $1.1 billion, including $590 million for sustaining capital. Refining growth capital of $490 million supports high-return, low-capital projects that will increase asset reliability and improve market capture. The M&S capital budget of $80 million reflects the continued enhancement of our branded network. The Renewable Fuels capital budget of $40 million reflects investments at the Rodeo Complex related to feedstock optimization and logistics for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel production. The Corporate and Other capital budget of $70 million will fund spend associated with information technology projects and the redevelopment of our idled Los Angeles Refinery.
70
Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. 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. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Other than with respect to the legal matters described herein, based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations, respectively. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.
71
Propel Fuels Litigation
In late 2017, as part of Phillips 66 Company’s evaluation of various opportunities in the renewable fuels business, Phillips 66 Company engaged with Propel Fuels, Inc. (Propel Fuels), a California company that distributes E85 and other alternative fuels through fueling kiosks. Ultimately, the parties were not able to reach an agreement, and negotiations were terminated in August 2018. On February 17, 2022, Propel Fuels filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda (the Propel Court), alleging that Phillips 66 Company misappropriated trade secrets related to Propel Fuels’ renewable fuels business during and after due diligence. On October 16, 2024, a jury returned a verdict against Phillips 66 Company for $604.9 million in compensatory damages and issued a willfulness finding. Based on the willfulness finding, Propel Fuels asked the Propel Court to award $1.2 billion in exemplary damages, and Phillips 66 Company filed a brief in opposition to that request. A hearing on exemplary damages was held on March 4, 2025, and the Propel Court awarded Propel Fuels $195 million in exemplary damages on July 30, 2025. On August 5, 2025, the Propel Court entered a final judgment against Phillips 66 Company in the amount of $833 million. The judgment includes the $604.9 million jury verdict, $195 million of exemplary damages, and $33.3 million of pre-judgment interest at 7%. Post-judgment interest of 10% is accruing from the date of the final judgment. On August 25, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed three post-trial motions requesting that the Propel Court render judgment in favor of Phillips 66 Company, grant a new trial, and/or reduce the damages award. On October 20, 2025, the Propel Court denied Phillips 66 Company’s motions. On November 14, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed its Notice of Appeal, which has been assigned to Division Two of the First District Court of Appeal. Separately, on October 24, 2025, Propel Fuels filed additional motions with the Propel Court seeking attorney’s fees and costs. Phillips 66 Company filed its opposition to that request on January 13, 2026, and once the record on this issue is complete, the Propel Court will rule on these motions. Phillips 66 Company denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend its position. As a result of the August 2025 final judgment and the October 2024 jury verdict, we recorded $262 million and $604.9 million of expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included within the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line on our consolidated statement of income and reported in the M&S segment. Therefore, our recorded accruals totaling $867 million and $604.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are reflected as “Other liabilities and deferred credits” on our consolidated balance sheet. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. If information were to become available that would allow us to reasonably estimate a range of potential exposure in an amount higher or lower than the amount already accrued, we would adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. While Phillips 66 Company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. Until the final resolution of this matter, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Environmental
We are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Among the most significant of these international and federal environmental laws and regulations are the:
•U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges into bodies of water.
•European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EU REACH), which governs production, marketing and use of chemicals and the United Kingdom’s legislation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, which replaced EU REACH in the United Kingdom in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT).
•U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.
•U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal of solid waste.
•U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, which requires facilities to report toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.
72
•U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990, under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines, as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a discharge of crude oil into navigable waters of the United States.
•European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS).
These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish water quality limits. They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations. These permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the agency’s processing of the application. Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control of the applicant.
Other countries and many states where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and regulations governing these same types of activities. While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of developing infrastructure and marketing and transporting products across state and international borders. For example, in California the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved amendments to the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that became effective in 2016, which required a phased reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions through 2022, affecting refineries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2017, SCAQMD required additional nitrogen oxide emissions reductions through 2025 and, on November 5, 2021, promulgated new regulations to replace the RECLAIM program with a traditional command and control regulatory regime.
The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determinable as new standards, such as air emissions standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, continue to evolve. However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. Notable areas of potential impacts include air emissions compliance and remediation obligations in the United States.
An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The law requires fuel producers and importers to provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types. RINs form the mechanism used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to record compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). If an obligated party has more RINs than it needs to meet its obligation, it may sell or trade the extra RINs, or instead choose to “bank” them for use the following year. We have met the EPA’s renewable volume obligations (RVO) to date. These obligations have been met using a variety of operating and capital strategies. We are also implementing advanced and different technologies to address projected future RVOs. On June 21, 2023, the EPA finalized RVO for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 compliance years. These standards increase cellulosic volumes, which reflect the EPA’s forecast for increasing compressed natural gas and NGL volumes derived from biogas. In addition, the EPA increased total advanced biofuel volumes from the 5.63 billion gallons established for the 2022 compliance year to 7.33 billion gallons in 2025. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products and increased program costs if not fully recovered in the market. This program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s final regulations establishing RVO requirements have been and continue to be subject to legal challenge, further creating uncertainty regarding RVO requirements.
We can fulfill our obligation under RFS through blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce, producing renewable fuels at the Rodeo Complex, or through purchasing RINs on the open market. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we primarily fulfilled our obligation under RFS through blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produced or by renewable fuels produced at the Rodeo Complex and incurred no expenses to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred expenses of $323 million associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line item on our consolidated statement of income. Prior to the acquisition of WRB on October 1, 2025, our jointly owned refineries
73
also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $280 million, $255 million and $389 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These expenses were included in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line item on our consolidated statement of income through September 30, 2025. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery and renewable fuels production, blending activities and RVO requirements.
We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with current and past operations, including CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents. Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks located at numerous previously and currently owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States. Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether for soil and groundwater and both the EPA and many states may adopt cleanup standards for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, which may have been a constituent in certain firefighting foams used or stored at or near some of our facilities.
At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions. If conditions warrant, we may be required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations. In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as “Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs is typically borne solely by us. We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the past few years. Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. At December 31, 2024, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 19 sites within the United States and Puerto Rico. During 2025, our legal organization approved the removal of two sites, leaving 17 unresolved sites with potential liability at December 31, 2025.
For the majority of Superfund sites, our potential liability will be less than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low. Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share of liability has not increased materially. Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or attain a settlement of liability. Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain the EPA or equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan. There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial condition.
We incur costs related to the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of environmental pollution. Expensed environmental costs were $937 million in 2025 and are expected to be approximately $901 million and $916 million in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Capitalized environmental costs were $243 million in 2025 and are expected to be approximately $306 million and $190 million, in 2026 and 2027, respectively. These amounts do not include capital expenditures made for other purposes that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.
Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties and are not discounted (except those assumed in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis).
74
Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct or once conducted operations, or at sites where our generated waste was disposed. We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the future, we may incur significant costs under both CERCLA and RCRA. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties. Therefore, it is difficult to develop reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. Examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:
•Entities in the United Kingdom are subject to the UK ETS, which is similar to the EU ETS, to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions. Both UK and EU ETS impact factories, power stations and other installations across all UK/EU member states.
•EU Renewable Energy Directive II, which increases the EU’s energy consumption from renewable sources in the electricity, heat, and transportation sectors to 32% by 2030.
•United Kingdom’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, which is intended to reduce the GHG emissions from fuel used in the United Kingdom transportation sector by encouraging the supply of renewable fuels.
•California’s Senate Bill No. 32, which requires reduction of California's GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 emission level by 2030, and Assembly Bill 398, which extends the California GHG emission cap and trade program through 2030. Other GHG emissions programs in states in the western U.S. have been enacted or are under consideration or development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, California’s Advanced Clean Cars and Trucks Programs, California’s Carbon Neutrality by 2045 Scoping Plan, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Climate Protection Plan, and Washington's carbon reduction programs.
•United States’ Inflation Reduction Act, which contains tax inducements and other provisions that incentivize investment, development, and deployment of alternative energy sources and technologies, which is intended to accelerate the energy transition.
•The Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of potential climate change.
75
•The EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan. The EPA commenced rulemaking in 2017 to rescind the Clean Power Plan and, in August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as its replacement. On January 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia invalidated the ACE rule and remanded the matter to the EPA, essentially restarting this rulemaking process.
•Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.
In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007. Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through 2012, and Phase III ran from 2013 through to 2020. Phase IV runs from January 1, 2021 through 2030 and sectors covered under the ETS must reduce their GHG emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels and there is agreement between the EU Member States, the European Parliament, and the EU Commission (which is pending ratification by the EU Council and European Parliament) to increase the Phase IV GHG emissions reduction to 63% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The United Kingdom has its own GHG emission reduction targets under the UK ETS. Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS and assets that are subject to the UK ETS.
From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France. The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris Agreement,” which, upon certain conditions being met, entered into force on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions. In January 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and the withdraw became effective in January 2026, following the applicable notification period. Additionally, in January 2026, the United States withdrew from several international climate organizations, representing a further departure from the previous administration’s positions and GHG commitments. However, future emission reduction targets and other provisions of legislative or regulatory initiatives and policies enacted in the future by the United States could be brought by future administrations or, in the absence of federal action, states may become more active and focused on taking legislative or regulatory actions aimed at climate change and minimizing GHG emissions.
In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming, particularly at the state level in the absence of federal action, with respect to GHG emissions. Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in additional financial burden in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.
Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program, GHG reduction requirements or carbon taxes could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation. Such laws and regulations could also increase demand for less carbon intensive energy sources.
An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act. The program had been limited to certain stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 was expanded to include emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs. Additionally, certain states have recently passed legislation seeking to recover financial damages allegedly associated with climate change from fossil fuel companies like the Vermont Climate Superfund Act passed by the Vermont Legislature in May 2024. While such novel laws and implementing regulations may be subject to legal challenges, additional states may follow suit. The ultimate impact on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•The nature of the legislation or regulation, such as a cap and trade system, a tax on emissions or financial damages.
•The GHG reductions required.
•The price and availability of offsets.
76
•The demand for, amount and allocation of allowances.
•Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•Any potential significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased severe weather events, changes in sea levels and changes in temperature.
•Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions, and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment, and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation efforts throughout our operations.
In February 2022, we announced a target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity related to our operations by 50% of 2019 levels by the year 2050. The 2050 target builds upon our 2030 GHG emissions intensity targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions from our energy products by 15% compared to 2019 levels.
In addition to the disclosures above, we have issued our 2025 Sustainability and People Report that is accessible on our website and provides more detailed information regarding our environmental, social and governance and human capital initiatives, including information on environmental metrics and other topics of interest to our stakeholders, which may not be considered material for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting purposes. The information contained in the Sustainability and People Report is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for descriptions of our major accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The following discussion of critical accounting estimates addresses accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change.
Business Combinations
In accounting for a business combination, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests are recorded based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess or shortfall of the purchase price when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain, respectively. Judgment is made in estimating the individual fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, noncontrolling interests and other assets and liabilities. We use available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party specialists in the valuation process as necessary.
The fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate; the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates; and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity specific differences. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the estimated results used to determine fair value.
See Note 5—Business Combinations, and Note 20—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our acquisitions.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future expected cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future before-tax cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple for similar assets; historical market transactions including similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant assumptions when necessary; or replacement cost adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments, including future volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of review.
78
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment when there are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the investment’s carrying amount. When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value. When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery. When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, if appropriate. Different assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.
See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have various cross guarantees between Phillips 66 and its wholly owned subsidiary Phillips 66 Company (together, the Obligor Group) with respect to publicly held debt securities. Phillips 66 conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Phillips 66 Company, and those subsidiaries generate substantially all of its operating income and cash flow. Phillips 66 has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 Company with respect to its publicly held debt securities. In addition, Phillips 66 Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 with respect to its publicly held debt securities. All guarantees are full and unconditional. At December 31, 2025, $16.0 billion of publicly held debt securities has been guaranteed by the Obligor Group.
Summarized financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis. Intercompany transactions among the members of the Obligor Group have been eliminated. The financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries has been excluded from the summarized financial information. Significant intercompany transactions and receivable/payable balances between the Obligor Group and non-guarantor subsidiaries are presented separately in the summarized financial information.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Refining
Our realized refining margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of petroleum products manufactured at our refineries and (b) costs of feedstocks, primarily crude oil, used to produce the petroleum products. The realized refining margins are adjusted to include our proportional share of our joint venture refineries’ realized margins, as well as to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized refining margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by total refinery processed inputs (primarily crude oil) measured on a barrel basis, including our share of inputs processed by our joint venture refineries. Our realized refining margin per barrel is intended to be comparable with industry refining margins, which are known as “crack spreads.” As discussed in “Executive Overview and Business Environment—Business Environment,” industry crack spreads measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. We believe realized refining margin per barrel calculated on a similar basis as industry crack spreads provides a useful measure of how well we performed relative to benchmark industry refining margins.
The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized refining margin per barrel is the Refining segment’s “income (loss) before income taxes per barrel.” Realized refining margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in a manufacturer’s gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income (loss) before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. It also includes our proportional share of joint venture refineries’ realized refining margins and excludes special items. Because realized refining margin per barrel is calculated in this manner, and because realized refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income (loss) before income taxes to realized refining margins:

Marketing
Our realized marketing fuel margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of fuels in our M&S segment and (b) costs of those fuels. The realized marketing fuel margins are adjusted to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized marketing fuel margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by sales volumes measured on a barrel basis. We believe realized marketing fuel margin per barrel demonstrates the value uplift our marketing operations provide by optimizing the placement and ultimate sale of our facilities’ fuel production.
Within the M&S segment, the GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized marketing fuel margin per barrel is the marketing business’ “income before income taxes per barrel.” Realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. Because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes these items, and because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the company’s analysis of its financial performance, financial condition, and significant trends that may affect future performance. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The term “earnings” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to net income attributable to Phillips 66. The terms “results,” “before-tax income” or “before-tax loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) before income taxes.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned as a leading integrated downstream energy provider operating with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, Marketing and Specialties (M&S), and Renewable Fuels segments. At December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $72.6 billion.
Executive Overview
During 2024, we reported earnings of $2.1 billion and generated $4.2 billion in cash from operating activities. We funded capital expenditures and investments of $1.9 billion, completed acquisitions for cash consideration of $625 million, purchased government obligations of $1.1 billion that were ultimately used to extinguish debt, and received proceeds from asset dispositions of $1.1 billion. Additionally, we received proceeds from debt issuances, net of debt repayments, of $2.1 billion. We paid $3.5 billion to repurchase common stock and $1.9 billion to fund dividends on our common stock. We ended 2024 with $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $4.6 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.
Strategic Priorities
In November 2022, we announced financial and operational targets toward achieving the company’s strategic priorities, and in October 2023, we announced updates and enhancements to certain of those targets. The strategic priority targets were focused on achieving financial and operational goals through year-end 2024, with an emphasis on delivering shareholder returns; improving refining performance; capturing value from wellhead-to-market; executing business transformation initiatives; maintaining financial strength and flexibility; and driving disciplined growth and returns.
In January 2025, we announced the next phase of priorities along with financial and operational initiatives through year-end 2027. With these targets, the company is continuing to focus on creating shareholder value; driving disciplined growth and returns; and maintaining financial strength and flexibility. As the company has completed its business transformation efforts, the company has shifted to operational and cost reduction targets intended to drive world-class operations across its portfolio, while maintaining emphasis on growing its Midstream and Chemicals businesses.
•Shareholder Returns – We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. With the return of $5.3 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during 2024, we achieved our target of returning between $13 billion and $15 billion to our shareholders from July 2022 to year-end 2024, as we distributed a total of $13.6 billion to shareholders. Our new target aims to return greater than 50% of net cash provided by operating activities to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. The amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases is subject to the discretion of, and approval by, our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
48
•World-Class Operations – We are focused on achieving operational excellence by optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations, which will enable us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. With our new targets, we will remain focused on a competitive cost structure and plan to enhance Refining segment returns and increase our utilization rates by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability and improve market capture.
At year-end 2024, we achieved final total company run-rate cost savings of $1.5 billion through our business transformation efforts, including a $0.3 billion reduction of sustaining capital, exceeding our targeted savings on a run-rate basis. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 95% for 2024, and our worldwide refining clean product yield was 87%, compared to 92% and 85%, respectively, in 2023. Our new priorities for 2025-2027 continue to focus on Refining performance, targeting an annual clean product yield of greater than 86%, crude oil capacity utilization rates higher than industry average, and continuing to improve our competitive cost structure.
•Disciplined Growth and Returns – A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we invest in projects that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy remains focused on growing our Midstream and Chemicals businesses. Within our Midstream segment, we are primarily focused on maximizing the value of our fully integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) wellhead-to-market value chain.
▪During 2024, we completed the conversion of our San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex (Rodeo Complex).
▪In 2024, we funded capital expenditures and investments of $1.9 billion and completed acquisitions of $0.6 billion through disciplined capital allocation and $1.1 billion in proceeds from asset dispositions. In January 2025, we received proceeds from asset dispositions of $2.1 billion and we will continue to evaluate future opportunities to rationalize our asset portfolio. We have budgeted $2.1 billion for 2025 capital expenditures and investments, exclusive of acquisitions, which includes $1.1 billion of growth capital, primarily in our Midstream segment.
▪During 2024, we expanded our Midstream NGL wellhead-to-market platform with the acquisition of Pinnacle Midland Parent LLC (Pinnacle Midstream) and approval of a follow-on processing plant expansion in the Midland Basin expected to be completed in mid-2025. In addition, we achieved over $500 million of run-rate synergies from the integration of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, which is comprised of the businesses, activities, assets and liabilities of DCP Midstream, LP (DCP LP) and its subsidiaries and general partner entities, surpassing our target.
▪Our new financial targets for 2025-2027 reflect our plans to grow Midstream and Chemicals businesses, as well as maintain total annual capital expenditures and investments of approximately $2 billion, excluding acquisitions.
•Financial Strength and Flexibility – We use a variety of funding sources to support our liquidity requirements, including cash from operations, debt and proceeds from dispositions. Our focus remains on protecting the stable cash generation from the Midstream and Marketing and Specialties (M&S) businesses while balancing continued portfolio optimization.
▪During 2024, we used available cash and proceeds from asset dispositions and debt offerings to fund capital expenditures and investments, complete the acquisition of Pinnacle Midstream, purchase government obligations that were ultimately used to extinguish debt, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock.
▪We are targeting reductions of total debt to $17 billion and reductions of our debt to capital ratio.

Basis of Presentation
Effective April 1, 2024, we changed the internal financial information reviewed by our chief executive officer to evaluate performance and allocate resources to our operating segments. This resulted in changes to the composition of our operating segments, as well as measurement changes for certain activities between our operating segments. The primary effects are summarized below. Prior period information has been recast for comparability.
•Establishment of a Renewable Fuels operating segment, which includes renewable fuels activities and assets historically reported in our Refining, M&S and Midstream operating segments.
•Change in method of allocating results for certain Gulf Coast distillate export activities from our M&S operating segment to our Refining operating segment.
•Reclassification of certain crude oil and international clean products trading activities between our M&S operating segment and our Refining operating segment.
•Change in reporting of our investment in NOVONIX Limited (NOVONIX) from our Midstream operating segment to Corporate and Other.
In the third quarter of 2024, we began presenting the line item “Capital expenditures and investments” on our consolidated statement of cash flows exclusive of acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Prior period information has been reclassified for comparability.
Starting on August 18, 2022, our Midstream operating segment and consolidated results reflect the impacts of the merger of DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger (DCP Midstream Merger). See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business, including DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Southern Hills), contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL and natural gas prices. The weighted-average NGL price was $0.68 per gallon during 2024, compared with $0.67 per gallon during 2023. The Henry Hub natural gas price was $2.24 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) during 2024, compared with $2.53 per MMBtu during 2023. The increase in NGL prices was primarily due to higher demand and increased exports, while the decrease in natural gas prices was partially due to increased production and constraints on Permian natural gas exit capacity.
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. The benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin was 17.7 cents per pound in 2024, compared with 16.4 cents per pound in 2023. The increase was mainly due to improved polyethylene sales prices and lower natural gas and ethane prices.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. The composite 3:2:1 market crack spread for our business decreased to an average of $16.95 per barrel during 2024, from an average of $28.37 per barrel in 2023. The decrease in the composite market crack spread was primarily driven by higher supply due to increased global refining utilization and lower global prices for gasoline and diesel. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Oklahoma, decreased to an average of $75.83 per barrel during 2024, from an average of $77.69 per barrel in 2023. The decrease in crude oil prices was primarily driven by increased production in the United States and other countries outside of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined products in the regions and countries where we operate.
Our Renewable Fuels segment consists of the operations and assets of the Rodeo Complex, as well as the global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels. Results for our Renewable Fuels segment are impacted by several factors, including the market price of renewable fuels, feedstock costs, throughput, operating costs, and the value of certain regulatory credits, as well as other market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand.

| Net income attributable to Phillips 66 | $ | 2,117 | 7,015 | 11,024 |
2024 vs. 2023
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $2,117 million, compared with $7,015 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to a decline in realized refining margins primarily driven by lower market crack spreads, partially offset by lower income tax expense.
2023 vs. 2022
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $7,015 million, compared with $11,024 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily due to the recognition of an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million in 2022 in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger, and a decline in realized refining margins, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense and lower unrealized investment losses related to our investment in NOVONIX.

Statement of Income Analysis
2024 vs. 2023
Sales and other operating revenues decreased 3%, primarily due to lower prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil, partially offset by an increase in prices for NGL. Purchased crude oil and products increased 1% in 2024, primarily due to higher refined product purchase volumes, partially offset by lower prices for refined petroleum products.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 12% in 2024, primarily due to lower equity earnings from WRB Refining LP (WRB) as a result of decreased margins, Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) due to the sale of our ownership interest in 2024, South Texas Gateway Terminal due to the sale of our ownership interest in 2023, and Excel Paralubes LLC due to declining margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower maintenance costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher equity earnings from CPChem. See the Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information.
Net gain on dispositions increased $206 million in 2024, primarily due to a before-tax gain of $238 million associated with the sale of our ownership interest in REX, as well as a before-tax gain of $67 million associated with the foreign currency forward contracts entered into in connection with the sale of our ownership interest in Coop Mineraloel AG (Coop). These increases were partially offset by before-tax gains totaling $137 million associated with the sales of our ownership interests in the South Texas Gateway Terminal and the Belle Chasse Terminal in 2023. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding our sales of REX and Coop.
Other income decreased 32% in 2024, primarily due to lower interest income as a result of lower cash balances and decreased results from trading activities. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% in 2024, mainly driven by an accrual of $605 million recorded during the third quarter of 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels, Inc. (Propel Fuels). The increase was partially offset by lower employee-related expenses and selling expenses. See Note 17—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our litigation with Propel Fuels.
Depreciation and amortization increased 20% in 2024, primarily due to $253 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in 2024 associated with our plan to cease operations at our Los Angeles Refinery during the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as depreciation and amortization associated with the startup of additional production capacity at the Rodeo Complex. See Note 4—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our plans to cease operations at our Los Angeles Refinery.
Impairments increased $432 million in 2024, primarily due to before-tax impairments recorded in our Midstream segment of certain gathering and processing assets in Texas, an equity investment in a crude pipeline in Oklahoma and certain crude gathering assets in Texas. In 2024, we also recorded before-tax impairments in our Midstream and Refining segments related to certain crude oil processing and logistics assets in California. See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding impairments.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 53% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in tax credits generated from higher renewable diesel production and blending activity.
Income tax expense decreased 78% in 2024, primarily due to lower income before income taxes. See Note 24—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased 74% in 2024. The decrease primarily reflects the impacts of the acquisition of all publicly held common units of DCP LP in June 2023 (DCP LP Merger), as well as the impacts of before-tax impairments reported in our Midstream segment related to certain DCP LP gathering and processing assets in Texas. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, and Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
53
2023 vs. 2022
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products decreased 13% and 15%, respectively, in 2023. These decreases were mainly due to lower prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 32% in 2023, resulting from lower equity earnings from DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills, DCP Southern Hills and Gray Oak Pipeline as a result of the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022, as well as decreased equity earnings from WRB and CPChem primarily due to lower margins, partially offset by lower operating costs. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information.
Net gain on dispositions increased $108 million in 2023, primarily due to a before-tax gain recognized in the Midstream segment in the third quarter of 2023 associated with the sale of our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal.
Other income decreased $2,378 million in 2023, primarily due to an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022. The decrease was partially offset by lower unrealized investment losses on our investment in NOVONIX in 2023 compared with 2022, and higher interest income. See Note 5—Business Combinations, and Note 19—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the aggregate before-tax gain, and for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16% in 2023, mainly driven by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills starting in August 2022 and higher costs associated with our business transformation. These increases were partially offset by lower selling expenses due to decreased refined petroleum product prices. See Note 4—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding business transformation restructuring costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased 21% in 2023, primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization related to assets acquired as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Southern Hills and DCP Sand Hills starting in August 2022.
Taxes other than income taxes increased 33% in 2023, primarily due to consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills starting in August 2022 and an increase in environmental taxes.
Interest and debt expense increased 45% in 2023, primarily driven by higher interest expense as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, new debt issuances in 2023 related to the DCP LP Merger, and a $53 million before-tax loss on the early redemption of DCP LP’s 5.850% junior subordinated notes.
Income tax expense decreased 31% in 2023 primarily due to lower income before income taxes. See Note 24—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased 39% in 2023. The decrease reflects the impacts of the DCP LP Merger in June 2023, and the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills and the derecognition of a noncontrolling interest related to Gray Oak Holdings as a result of the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022. The decrease also reflects the impact of the merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners), a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, in March 2022. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, and Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the DCP Midstream Merger and the Phillips 66 Partners merger, respectively.

2024 vs. 2023
Results from our Midstream segment decreased $181 million in 2024, compared with 2023.
Results from our Transportation business decreased $18 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to before-tax impairments totaling $122 million, partially offset by an increase in before-tax gains on sales of assets. We sold our ownership interest in REX in 2024 and recorded a before-tax gain of $238 million, compared to before-tax gains recorded in 2023 associated with the sales of our ownership interests in the South Texas Gateway Terminal and the Belle Chasse Terminal which totaled $137 million.
Results from our NGL business decreased $163 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to before-tax impairment charges recognized in 2024 associated with certain gathering and processing assets in Texas, as well as unfavorable pricing driven by falling natural gas prices and winter weather impacts. These decreases were partially offset by improved pipeline volumes and higher liquefied petroleum gas cargo volumes and margins.
See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding impairments. See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the sale of our ownership interest in REX.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting 2024 results.
2023 vs. 2022
Results from our Midstream segment decreased $2,357 million in 2023, compared with 2022.
Results from our Transportation business increased $134 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The increase in 2023 was primarily due to higher volumes and tariffs, as well as decreased operating costs, partially offset by lower before-tax gains on sales and transfers of interests in equity affiliates. In August 2023, we recognized a $101 million before-tax gain on the sale of our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal, while in August 2022, we recognized a before-tax gain of $182 million related to the transfer of an indirect economic interest in Gray Oak Pipeline as part of the DCP Midstream Merger.
Results from our NGL business decreased $2,491 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an aggregate before-tax gain of $2,831 million recognized in the third quarter of 2022 from remeasuring our previously held equity investments in DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills to their fair values in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger. The decrease was partially offset by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, as well as increased fractionation volumes at the Sweeny Hub reflecting the startup of Frac 4 in October 2022.
See Note 5—Business Combinations, and Note 19—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the before-tax gains recorded in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger.

Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. CPChem manufactures and/or markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene, as well as manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Chemicals segment increased $276 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The increase was primarily due to improved margins driven by higher sales prices and lower feedstock costs, as well as increased volumes and decreased utility costs.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 2024 results.
2023 vs. 2022
Results from the Chemicals segment decreased $256 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower margins driven by decreased sales prices, partially offset by lower utility costs due to a decline in natural gas prices.

In October 2023, we further reduced net crude throughput capacity from 75 MB/D to 52 MB/D as we shut down one of the two crude units at the Rodeo facility. The Rodeo facility’s net crude throughput capacity of 52 MB/D prior to shutdown was excluded from the 2024 operating statistics above. |
The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline and distillates, including aviation fuels, at 11 refineries in the United States and Europe.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Refining segment decreased $5,705 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized margins as a result of declining market crack spreads.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 95% and 92% in 2024 and 2023, respectively. See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on industry crack spreads and other market factors impacting this year’s results.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined products, mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of base oils and lubricants.
2024 vs. 2023
Before-tax income from the M&S segment decreased $886 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily driven by an accrual of $605 million recorded during the third quarter of 2024 related to litigation with Propel Fuels, as well as lower U.S. marketing fuel margins.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on marketing fuel margins and other market factors impacting 2024 results.

The Renewable Fuels segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable products at the Rodeo Complex and at our Humber Refinery. In addition, this segment includes the global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels.
2024 vs. 2023
Results from the Renewable Fuels segment decreased $351 million in 2024, compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by higher costs related to the ramp-up of the Rodeo Complex.
2023 vs. 2022
Results from the Renewable Fuels segment decreased $18 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by higher costs related to the ramp-up of the Rodeo Complex, as well as lower results from renewable transport fuel certificate activity due to lower blending margins. These decreases were partially offset by higher credit generation and increased renewable fuel sales.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Corporate overhead and other includes general and administrative expenses, technology costs, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, restructuring costs related to our business transformation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. Corporate and Other also includes the change in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX.

2024 vs. 2023
Net interest expense increased $116 million in 2024, compared with 2023, primarily driven by decreased interest income as a result of lower cash balances.
Corporate overhead and other decreased $133 million in 2024, compared with 2023, primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees associated with our business transformation, as well as lower employee-related expenses.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources, but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During 2024, we generated $4.2 billion in cash from operations. We funded capital expenditures and investments of $1.9 billion, completed acquisitions for cash consideration of $625 million, purchased government obligations of $1.1 billion that were ultimately used to extinguish debt, and received proceeds from asset dispositions of $1.1 billion. Additionally, we received proceeds from debt issuances, net of debt repayments, of $2.1 billion. We paid $3.5 billion to repurchase common stock and $1.9 billion to fund dividends on our common stock. During 2024, cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion. At this time, we believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described herein, will be sufficient to fund our obligations over the short- and long-term.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During 2024, cash generated by operating activities was $4.2 billion, a $2.8 billion decrease compared with 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings, driven by a decline in realized refining margins, partially offset by more favorable working capital impacts.
During 2023, cash generated by operating activities was $7.0 billion, a $3.8 billion decrease compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized refining margins, working capital impacts, reduced operating distributions from equity affiliates, completion of long-term crude oil exchanges and higher contributions to our pension plans.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impacts our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability, and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by fluctuations in margins and prices. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 95%, 92% and 90% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our worldwide refining clean product yield was 87%, 85% and 84% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
64
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates. Over the three years ended December 31, 2024, operating cash flows included aggregate distributions from our equity affiliates of $4.2 billion. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these equity affiliates are not assured.
Debt Issuances
On September 9, 2024, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, issued $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66. The senior unsecured notes issuance consisted of:
•$600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2031 (Additional 2031 Notes).
•$600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Senior Notes due 2035 (2035 Notes).
•$600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2055 (2055 Notes).
Interest on the Additional 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year and commenced on December 15, 2024. Interest on the 2035 Notes and 2055 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, commencing on March 15, 2025.
On February 28, 2024, Phillips 66 Company issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66. The senior unsecured notes issuance consisted of:
•$600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2031 (2031 Notes).
•$400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2033 (Additional 2033 Notes).
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650% Senior Notes due 2054 (2054 Notes).
Interest on the 2031 Notes and 2054 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year and commenced on June 15, 2024. Interest on the Additional 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 30 of each year and commenced on June 30, 2024.
On March 29, 2023, Phillips 66 Company issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66. The senior unsecured notes issuance consisted of:
•$750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Senior Notes due December 2027.
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Senior Notes due June 2033.
Discharge of Senior Notes
On September 20, 2024, we extinguished (i) the remaining $441 million outstanding principal amount of Phillips 66 Company’s 3.605% senior notes due February 2025 (2025 P66 Co Notes), and (ii) the remaining $650 million outstanding principal amount of Phillips 66’s 3.850% senior notes due April 2025 (the 2025 PSX Notes, and together with the 2025 P66 Co Notes, the Discharged Notes), whereby we irrevocably transferred a total of $1,100 million in government obligations to the trustee of the 2025 P66 Co Notes and the 2025 PSX Notes. The cash paid to purchase the government obligations is included within investing cash flows on our consolidated statement of cash flows. These government obligations will yield sufficient principal and interest over their remaining term to permit the trustee to satisfy the remaining principal and interest due on the Discharged Notes. Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company are no longer the primary obligors under the Discharged Notes. The transfer of the government obligations to the trustee was accounted for as a transfer of financial assets. If the trustee is unable to apply the government obligations to fund the remaining principal and interest payments on the Discharged Notes, then the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Discharged Notes will be revived and reinstated. We deem the likelihood of such event to be remote with no impact to the legal isolation of the assets. Accordingly, the senior notes and the government obligations were derecognized on our balance sheet at December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized an immaterial gain on the extinguishment of this debt.
65
Term Loan Agreement
On March 27, 2023, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, entered into a $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan agreement guaranteed by Phillips 66 (the Term Loan Agreement). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a single borrowing during a 90-day period commencing on the closing date, which borrowing was contingent upon the completion of the DCP LP Merger. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants similar to those contained in our revolving credit agreement, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Term Loan Agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate plus the applicable margin, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $550 million and $1.25 billion were borrowed under the Term Loan Agreement, which matures in June 2026, respectively.
Related Party Advance Term Loan Agreements
At December 31, 2023, borrowings outstanding under our Advance Term Loan agreements with WRB totaled $290 million. Borrowings under these agreements were due between 2035 and 2038 and bore interest at a floating rate based on an adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin, payable on the last day of each month. On December 31, 2024, WRB distributed its Advance Term Loan with a principal balance of $290 million, including the right to receive any accrued but unpaid interest, to Phillips 66 Company, resulting in the reduction of our related party debt balance and our investment in WRB by $290 million. The distribution was recognized as a non-cash investing and financing transaction.
Accounts Receivable Securitization
On September 30, 2024, Phillips 66 Company entered into a 364-day, $500 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the Receivables Securitization Facility). Under the Receivables Securitization Facility, Phillips 66 Company sells or contributes on an ongoing basis, certain of its receivables, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to its wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips 66 Receivables LLC (P66 Receivables), a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the Receivables Securitization Facility. Under the Receivables Securitization Facility, P66 Receivables may borrow and incur indebtedness from, and/or sell certain receivables in an amount not to exceed $500 million in the aggregate, and will secure its obligations with a pledge of undivided interests in such receivables, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties thereunder. Accounts outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility accrue interest at an adjusted SOFR plus the applicable margin. In all instances, Phillips 66 Company retains the servicing of the accounts receivables transferred.
P66 Receivables’ sole activity consists of purchasing receivables from Phillips 66 Company, providing those receivables as collateral for P66 Receivables’ borrowings or on-selling certain of its receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility. P66 Receivables is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors, who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of P66 Receivables’ assets prior to assets or value in P66 Receivables becoming available to P66 Receivables’ equity holders. The assets of P66 Receivables, including any funds of P66 Receivables that may be commingled with funds of any of its affiliates for purposes of cash management and related efficiencies, are not available to pay creditors of Phillips 66 Company, Phillips 66 or any affiliate thereof. Collections on receivables in excess of amounts owed by P66 Receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility are available to P66 Receivables for payment to Phillips 66 Company, for sales of its receivables to P66 Receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility, and otherwise for distribution to Phillips 66 Company, in each case, subject to the terms set forth in the Receivables Securitization Facility. The amount available for borrowing or sale of receivables may be limited by the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions, as well as the covenants set forth in the Receivables Securitization Facility.
66
Sales of accounts receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. P66 Receivables guarantees payment, in full, for accounts receivables sold to the purchasers. Cash receipts from the sale of accounts receivables under the Receivables Securitization Facility, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities. For the year-ended December 31, 2024, we sold $125 million of accounts receivables in exchange for a $125 million reduction in our borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility, which was recognized as a non-cash financing transaction. We recognized an immaterial charge associated with the transfer of financial assets, which is included as a component within the line item “Selling, general and administrative expense” on our consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, $121 million of the sold accounts receivable remained outstanding, which represents our maximum potential future exposure under the guarantee.
Borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility are recognized as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. Borrowings are secured by the accounts receivables, held by P66 Receivables, which remain reported as accounts receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2024, we had outstanding borrowings of $375 million under the Receivables Securitization Facility, secured by approximately $4.6 billion of accounts receivable held by P66 Receivables.
At December 31, 2024, we had no unused capacity under the Receivables Securitization Facility.
Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company
On January 13, 2025, we entered into a $200 million uncommitted credit facility (the 2025 Uncommitted Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor.

On February 28, 2024, we entered into a new $5 billion revolving credit agreement (the Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor and a scheduled maturity date of February 28, 2029. The Facility replaced our previous $5 billion revolving credit facility dated as of June 23, 2022, with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor, and the previous revolving credit facility was terminated. The Facility contains customary covenants similar to the previous revolving credit facility, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Facility has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. We have the option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the Facility for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term SOFR (as described in the Facility) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Facility) plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for the commitment fee and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for our senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, no amounts were drawn under the Facility or the previous revolving credit facility, respectively.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by the Facility. Commercial paper maturities are contractually limited to less than one year. At December 31, 2024, $435 million of commercial paper had been issued under this program. At December 31, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding under this program.
DCP Midstream Class A Segment
On March 15, 2024, DCP LP terminated its $1.4 billion credit facility and its accounts receivable securitization facility that previously provided for up to $350 million of borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2023, DCP LP had $25 million in borrowings outstanding under its $1.4 billion credit facility and $350 million of borrowings outstanding under its accounts receivable securitization facility, both of which were repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Total Committed Capacity Available
At December 31, 2024, and 2023, we had $4.6 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively, of total committed capacity available under the credit facilities described above.
Asset & Investment Dispositions
On December 10, 2024, we sold our equity interests in certain pipeline and terminaling assets in North Dakota for cash proceeds of approximately $143 million.
On August 30, 2024, we sold certain Midstream gathering and processing assets in Texas for cash proceeds of $41 million.
On August 1, 2024, we sold our ownership interests in certain gathering and processing assets in Louisiana and Alabama for cash proceeds of $173 million.

On August 1, 2023, we sold our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal for approximately $275 million.
On February 28, 2023, we sold the Belle Chasse Terminal for approximately $76 million.
68
Subsequent Investment Dispositions
On January 30, 2025, we sold our 25% ownership interest in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC for cash proceeds of $853 million.
On January 31, 2025, we sold our 49% ownership interest in Coop. We received cash proceeds of 1.06 billion Swiss francs, consisting of a sales price of approximately 977 million Swiss francs and a final dividend relating to financial year 2024 of 83 million Swiss francs from Coop that was paid on January 30, 2025. We also settled the foreign currency forward contracts entered into in connection with the asset sale, in which we sold 1.06 billion Swiss francs in exchange for $1.24 billion U.S. dollars.
See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables and Note 10—Properties, Plants and Equipment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding asset and investment dispositions.
Phillips 66 Availability of Debt Financing
We have an A3 credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard & Poor’s. These investment grade ratings have served to lower our borrowing costs and facilitate access to a variety of lenders. We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or both rating agencies. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings could prohibit us from accessing the commercial paper market, although we would expect to be able to access funds under our liquidity facilities mentioned above.
DCP LP Availability of Debt Financing
DCP LP has a Baa3 credit rating, with a positive outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard and Poor’s. These ratings facilitate DCP LP’s access to a variety of lenders. DCP LP does not have any ratings triggers on any of its corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or more rating agencies.
69
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2025, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. We have a residual value guarantee associated with the operating lease agreement with a maximum potential future exposure of $514 million at December 31, 2024. We also have residual value guarantees associated with railcar, airplane and truck leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $175 million. These leases have remaining terms of one to ten years.
Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The trial court later vacated the easement. Although the easement is vacated, the USACE has no plans to stop pipeline operations while it proceeds with the EIS, and the Tribe’s request for a shutdown was denied in May 2021. In June 2021, the trial court dismissed the litigation entirely. Once the EIS is completed, new litigation or challenges may be filed.
In February 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court) denied Dakota Access’ writ of certiorari requesting the Supreme Court to review the trial court’s decision to order the EIS and vacate the easement. Therefore, the requirement to prepare the EIS stood. Also in February 2022, the Tribe withdrew as a cooperating agency, causing the USACE to halt the EIS process while the USACE engaged with the Tribe on their reasons for withdrawing.
The draft EIS process resumed in August 2022, and in September 2023, the USACE published its draft EIS for public comment. The USACE identified five potential outcomes but did not indicate which one it preferred. The options comprise two “no action” alternatives where the USACE would deny an easement to Dakota Access and require it to shut down the pipeline and either remove the pipe from under Lake Oahe or allow the pipeline to be abandoned-in-place under the lake. The USACE also identified three “action” alternatives; two of them contemplate that the USACE would reissue the easement to Dakota Access under essentially the same terms as 2017 with either the same or a larger volume of oil allowed through the pipeline, while the third alternative would require decommissioning of the current pipeline and construction of a new line 39 miles upstream from the current location.
The public comment period concluded on December 13, 2023. The USACE plans to review the comments and issue its final EIS in early 2026. The Record of Decision will follow within 30 to 60 days after the issuance of the final EIS. The final EIS must be completed before the USACE can reauthorize the easement for the pipeline. If reauthorization occurs, new litigation challenging the reauthorization may be filed.
In October 2024, the Tribe filed another lawsuit against the USACE in federal district court in Washington, D.C., again challenging USACE’s allowance of pipeline operations while the EIS process proceeds. In this lawsuit, the Tribe purports to introduce new evidence regarding the pipeline’s proximity to a reservoir and attempts to relitigate arguments about the need for injunctive relief to support its position that the Supreme Court should halt pipeline operations. A consortium of 13 states has joined Dakota Access as intervenors. The consortium argues that the pipeline reduces pollution compared to other modes of transportation and that Dakota Access is integral to the health of regional energy and agriculture markets. The Tribe’s prior request for a shutdown was denied in May 2021. This latest lawsuit seeking a shutdown does not change the current deadline for the issuance of the final EIS.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of senior unsecured notes issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access. On April 1, 2024, Dakota Access’ wholly owned subsidiary repaid $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior notes upon maturity. We funded our 25% share of the repayment, or $250 million, with a capital contribution of $171 million in March 2024 and $79 million of distributions we elected not to receive from Dakota Access in the first quarter of 2024. At December 31, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Dakota Access’ senior unsecured notes was $850 million.
70
In addition, Phillips 66 Partners and its co-venturers in Dakota Access also provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering. Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above-mentioned ongoing litigation. At December 31, 2024, our 25% share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $215 million. If the pipeline is required to cease operations, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Should operations cease and Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay its expenses, we also could be required to support our 25% share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $10 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU at December 31, 2024.
See Note 9—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial statements for additional information regarding our investments in Dakota Access and ETCO. See Note 16—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding guarantees.

On July 1, 2024, we acquired Pinnacle Midstream in our Midstream segment to expand our natural gas gathering and processing operations in the Permian Basin for cash consideration of $565 million.
Midstream Pending Acquisition
On January 6, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all issued and outstanding equity interests in each of EPIC Y-Grade GP, LLC (Y-Grade GP) and EPIC Y-Grade, LP (Y-Grade LP, and, together with Y-Grade GP and their respective subsidiaries, EPIC Y-Grade), which own various long haul natural gas liquids pipelines, fractionation facilities and distribution systems, for cash consideration of $2.2 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. The closing date of this transaction is dependent on regulatory approval and completion of other customary closing conditions.
Dividends
On February 12, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.15 per common share. The dividend is payable March 5, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on February 24, 2025.
Share Repurchases
Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $25 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock, and we have repurchased 238 million shares at an aggregate cost of $21.5 billion. In 2024, we repurchased 24.2 million shares at an aggregate cost of $3.4 billion. Our share repurchase authorizations do not expire. Any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.
72
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, outstanding debt principal and interest obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, and asset retirement and environmental obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled with operating cash flows in the period when due. At December 31, 2024, our purchase obligations totaled $85.3 billion, with $31.2 billion due within one year.
The majority of our purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including exchanges and futures, for the purchase of commodities such as crude oil and NGL. The commodities are used to supply our refineries and fractionators and optimize our supply chain. At December 31, 2024, commodity purchase commitments with third parties and related parties were $47.4 billion and $24.9 billion, respectively. The remaining purchase obligations mainly represent agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store products, and our net share of purchase commitments for materials and services for jointly owned facilities where we are the operator.
Debt Principal and Interest Obligations
As of December 31, 2024, our aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt was $20.2 billion, with $1.8 billion due within one year. Our obligations for interest on the debt totaled $10.6 billion, with $925 million due within one year. See Note 15—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our outstanding debt principal and interest obligations.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
See Note 21—Leases, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our lease obligations and timing of our expected lease payments.
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations
See Note 13—Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding asset retirement and environmental obligations.

During the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, CPChem had a self-funded capital program that totaled $5 billion on a 100% basis. Capital spending was primarily for the development of petrochemical projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the Middle East, as well as sustaining, debottlenecking and optimization projects on existing assets.
74
Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, was $1.8 billion, primarily for projects to enhance the yield of higher-value products and sustain the reliability and safety of our refineries.
Key projects funded during the three-year period included:
•Installation of facilities to improve market capture at our refineries.
•Installation of facilities to improve utilization and product value at our refineries.
•Capital spending to improve reliability at our refineries.
Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, was $273 million, primarily for the continued development and enhancement of retail sites in Europe, spend associated with marketing and commercial fleet fueling businesses on the U.S. West Coast, marketing-related information technology enhancements, and reliability and maintenance projects for our Specialties business.
Renewable Fuels
Capital spending for the Renewable Fuels segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, was $1.5 billion, primarily related to the construction of facilities to produce renewable fuels at the Rodeo Complex.
Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, was $290 million, primarily related to information technology and facilities.
2025 Budget
Our 2025 capital budget is $2.1 billion, including $998 million for sustaining capital and $1.1 billion for growth capital. Our projected $2.1 billion capital budget excludes our portion of planned capital spending by our major joint ventures CPChem and WRB totaling $885 million and acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of EPIC Y-Grade, which is subject to regulatory approval and completion of other customary closing conditions. See Note 5—Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending acquisition of EPIC Y-Grade.
The Midstream capital budget of $975 million comprises $429 million for sustaining projects and $546 million for growth projects. The Midstream capital budget advances the integrated NGL wellhead-to-market value chain by strengthening our position in key basins, including by increasing gas processing capacity. In Refining, we plan to invest $822 million, including $414 million for sustaining capital. Refining growth capital of $408 million supports high-return, low-capital projects that will increase asset reliability and improve market capture. The M&S capital budget of $154 million reflects the continued enhancement of our branded network. The Renewable Fuels capital budget of $74 million reflects investments at the Rodeo Complex related to feedstock optimization and logistics for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel production. The Corporate and Other capital budget of $75 million will primarily fund information technology projects.
75
Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. 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. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Other than with respect to the legal matters described herein, based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations, respectively. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.
76
Propel Fuels Litigation
In late 2017, as part of Phillips 66 Company’s evaluation of various opportunities in the renewable fuels business, Phillips 66 Company engaged with Propel Fuels, a California company that distributes E85 and other alternative fuels through fueling kiosks. Ultimately, the parties were not able to reach an agreement and negotiations were terminated in August 2018. On February 17, 2022, Propel Fuels filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda (the Propel Court), alleging that Phillips 66 Company misappropriated trade secrets related to Propel Fuels’ renewable fuels business during and after due diligence. On October 16, 2024, a jury returned a verdict against Phillips 66 Company for $604.9 million in compensatory damages and issued a willfulness finding. In 2025, the Propel Court is expected to rule on motions anticipated to be filed by Propel Fuels seeking exemplary damages and attorneys’ fees. Propel Fuels has asked the Propel Court to grant treble damages and Phillips 66 Company has filed a brief in opposition to that request. Also in 2025, the Propel Court is expected to rule on Phillips 66 Company’s motions for a judgment in its favor as a matter of law, or in the alternative to reduce the jury’s verdict or to grant a new trial. Phillips 66 Company denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend its position. As a result of the jury verdict, the Company has recorded an accrual of $604.9 million which is included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line on our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2024, and is reported in the M&S segment. In addition, the accrued amount is reflected as “Other liabilities and deferred credits” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. Because of the uncertainties associated with ongoing litigation, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss that may be attributable to exemplary damages, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. If information were to become available that would allow us to reasonably estimate a range of potential exposure in an amount higher or lower than the amount already accrued, we would adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. While Phillips 66 Company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported and intends to pursue post-judgment remedies and file an appeal, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. To the extent Phillips 66 Company is required to pay exemplary damages, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Environmental
We are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Among the most significant of these international and federal environmental laws and regulations are the:
•U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges into bodies of water.
•European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EU REACH), which governs production, marketing and use of chemicals and the United Kingdom’s legislation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, which replaced EU REACH in the United Kingdom in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT).
•U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.
•U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal of solid waste.
•U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, which requires facilities to report toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.
•U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990, under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a discharge of crude oil into navigable waters of the United States.
•European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS), which replaced the EU ETS in the United Kingdom in 2021, following BREXIT.
77
These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish water quality limits. They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations. These permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the agency’s processing of the application. Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control of the applicant.
Other countries and many states where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and regulations governing these same types of activities. While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of developing infrastructure and marketing and transporting products across state and international borders. For example, in California the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved amendments to the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that became effective in 2016, which required a phased reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions through 2022, affecting refineries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2017, SCAQMD required additional nitrogen oxide emissions reductions through 2025 and, on November 5, 2021, promulgated new regulations to replace the RECLAIM program with a traditional command and control regulatory regime.
The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determinable as new standards, such as air emissions standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, continue to evolve. However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. Notable areas of potential impacts include air emissions compliance and remediation obligations in the United States.
An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The law requires fuel producers and importers to provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types. Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) form the mechanism used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to record compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). If an obligated party has more RINs than it needs to meet its obligation, it may sell or trade the extra RINs, or instead choose to “bank” them for use the following year. We have met the EPA’s renewable volume obligations (RVO) to date. These obligations have been met using a variety of operating and capital strategies. We are also implementing advanced and different technologies to address projected future RVOs. On June 21, 2023, the EPA finalized RVO for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 compliance years. These standards increase cellulosic volumes, which reflect the EPA’s forecast for increasing compressed natural gas and NGL volumes derived from biogas. In addition, the EPA increased total advanced biofuel volumes from the 5.63 billion gallons established for the 2022 compliance year to 7.33 billion gallons in 2025. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products and increased program costs if not fully recovered in the market. This program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s final regulations establishing RVO requirements have been and continue to be subject to legal challenge, further creating uncertainty regarding RVO requirements.
We are required to purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the portion of our obligation under the RFS that is not fulfilled by blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we were able to fully satisfy our obligations under the RFS through blending renewable fuels into the motor fuel we produce. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred expenses of $323 million and $478 million, respectively, associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line item on our consolidated statement of income. Our jointly owned refineries also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $255 million, $389 million and $437 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These expenses are included in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line item on our consolidated statement of income. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery and renewable fuels production, blending activities, and RVO requirements.
78
We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with current and past operations, including CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents. Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks located at numerous previously and currently owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States. Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether for soil and groundwater and both the EPA and many states may adopt cleanup standards for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, which may have been a constituent in certain firefighting foams used or stored at or near some of our facilities.
At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions. If conditions warrant, we may be required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations. In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as “Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs is typically borne solely by us. We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the past few years. Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. At December 31, 2023, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 21 sites within the United States. During 2024, our legal organization approved the removal of two sites, which left 19 unresolved sites with potential liability at December 31, 2024.
For the majority of Superfund sites, our potential liability will be less than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low. Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share of liability has not increased materially. Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or attain a settlement of liability. Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain the EPA or equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan. There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial condition.
We incur costs related to the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of environmental pollution. Expensed environmental costs were $849 million in 2024 and are expected to be approximately $923 million and $791 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Capitalized environmental costs were $111 million in 2024 and are expected to be approximately $168 million and $231 million, in 2025 and 2026, respectively. These amounts do not include capital expenditures made for other purposes that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.
Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties and are not discounted (except those assumed in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis).
79
Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct or once conducted operations, or at sites where our generated waste was disposed. We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the future, we may incur significant costs under both CERCLA and RCRA. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties. Therefore, it is difficult to develop reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. Examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:
•EU ETS, which is part of the European Union’s policy to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions. EU ETS impacts factories, power stations and other installations across all EU member states. As a result of BREXIT, those types of entities in the United Kingdom are now subject to the UK ETS, rather than the EU ETS.
•EU Renewable Energy Directive II, which increases the EU’s energy consumption from renewable sources in the electricity, heat, and transportation sectors to 32% by 2030.
•United Kingdom’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, which is intended to reduce the GHG emissions from fuel used in the United Kingdom transportation sector by encouraging the supply of renewable fuels.
•California’s Senate Bill No. 32, which requires reduction of California's GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 emission level by 2030, and Assembly Bill 398, which extends the California GHG emission cap and trade program through 2030. Other GHG emissions programs in states in the western U.S. have been enacted or are under consideration or development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, California’s Advanced Clean Cars and Trucks Programs, California’s Carbon Neutrality by 2045 Scoping Plan, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Climate Protection Plan, and Washington's carbon reduction programs.
•United States’ Inflation Reduction Act, which contains tax inducements and other provisions that incentivize investment, development, and deployment of alternative energy sources and technologies, which is intended to accelerate the energy transition.
•The Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of potential climate change.
80
•The EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan. The EPA commenced rulemaking in 2017 to rescind the Clean Power Plan and, in August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as its replacement. On January 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia invalidated the ACE rule and remanded the matter to the EPA, essentially restarting this rulemaking process.
•Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.
In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007. Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through 2012, and Phase III ran from 2013 through to 2020. Phase IV runs from January 1, 2021 through 2030 and sectors covered under the ETS must reduce their GHG emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels and there is agreement between the EU Member States, the European Parliament, and the EU Commission (which is pending ratification by the EU Council and European Parliament) to increase the Phase IV GHG emissions reduction to 63% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU ETS and, instead, has been under the UK ETS since 2021. Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS and assets that are subject to the UK ETS.
From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France. The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris Agreement,” which, upon certain conditions being met, entered into force on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions. In January 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and it is expected that President Trump and the Republican-led Congress will diverge from the previous administration’s positions and GHG commitments. However, future emission reduction targets and other provisions of legislative or regulatory initiatives and policies enacted in the future by the United States could be brought by future administrations or, in the absence of federal action, states may become more active and focused on taking legislative or regulatory actions aimed at climate change and minimizing GHG emissions.
In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming, particularly at the state level in the absence of federal action, with respect to GHG emissions. Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in additional financial burden in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.
Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program, GHG reduction requirements or carbon taxes could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation. Such laws and regulations could also increase demand for less carbon intensive energy sources.
An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act. The program had been limited to certain stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 was expanded to include emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs. Additionally, certain states have recently passed legislation seeking to recover financial damages allegedly associated with climate change from fossil fuel companies like the Vermont Climate Superfund Act passed by the Vermont Legislature in May 2024. While such novel laws and implementing regulations may be subject to legal challenges, additional states may follow suit. The ultimate impact on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•The nature of the legislation or regulation, such as a cap and trade system, a tax on emissions or financial damages.
•The GHG reductions required.
81
•The price and availability of offsets.
•The demand for, amount and allocation of allowances.
•Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•Any potential significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased severe weather events, changes in sea levels and changes in temperature.
•Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions, and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment, and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation efforts throughout our operations.
In February 2022, we announced a target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity related to our operations by 50% of 2019 levels by the year 2050. The 2050 target builds upon our 2030 GHG emissions intensity targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions from our energy products by 15% compared to 2019 levels.
In addition to the disclosures above, we have issued our 2024 Sustainability and People Report that is accessible on our website and provides more detailed information regarding our environmental, social and governance and human capital initiatives, including information on environmental metrics and other topics of interest to our stakeholders, which may not be considered material for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting purposes. The information contained in the Sustainability and People Report is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for descriptions of our major accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The following discussion of critical accounting estimates addresses accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change.
Business Combination
In accounting for a business combination, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests are recorded based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess or shortfall of the purchase price when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain, respectively. A significant amount of judgment is made in estimating the individual fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, noncontrolling interests and other assets and liabilities. We use available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party specialists in the valuation process as necessary.
The fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate; the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates; and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity specific differences. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the estimated results used to determine fair value.
See Note 5—Business Combinations, and Note 19—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our acquisitions.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future expected cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future before-tax cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple for similar assets; historical market transactions including similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant assumptions when necessary; or replacement cost adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments, including future volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of review.
83
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment when there are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the investment’s carrying amount. When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value. When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery. When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, if appropriate. Different assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.
See Note 12—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information about impairments.

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have various cross guarantees between Phillips 66 and its wholly owned subsidiary Phillips 66 Company (together, the Obligor Group) with respect to publicly held debt securities. Phillips 66 conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Phillips 66 Company, and those subsidiaries generate substantially all of its operating income and cash flow. Phillips 66 has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 Company with respect to its publicly held debt securities. In addition, Phillips 66 Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 with respect to its publicly held debt securities. All guarantees are full and unconditional. At December 31, 2024, $14.4 billion of senior unsecured notes outstanding has been guaranteed by the Obligor Group.
Summarized financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis. Intercompany transactions among the members of the Obligor Group have been eliminated. The financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries has been excluded from the summarized financial information. Significant intercompany transactions and receivable/payable balances between the Obligor Group and non-guarantor subsidiaries are presented separately in the summarized financial information.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Refining
Our realized refining margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of petroleum products manufactured at our refineries and (b) costs of feedstocks, primarily crude oil, used to produce the petroleum products. The realized refining margins are adjusted to include our proportional share of our joint venture refineries’ realized margins, as well as to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized refining margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by total refinery processed inputs (primarily crude oil) measured on a barrel basis, including our share of inputs processed by our joint venture refineries. Our realized refining margin per barrel is intended to be comparable with industry refining margins, which are known as “crack spreads.” As discussed in “Executive Overview and Business Environment—Business Environment,” industry crack spreads measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. We believe realized refining margin per barrel calculated on a similar basis as industry crack spreads provides a useful measure of how well we performed relative to benchmark industry refining margins.
The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized refining margin per barrel is the Refining segment’s “income (loss) before income taxes per barrel.” Realized refining margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in a manufacturer’s gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income (loss) before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. It also includes our proportional share of joint venture refineries’ realized refining margins and excludes special items. Because realized refining margin per barrel is calculated in this manner, and because realized refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income (loss) before income taxes to realized refining margins:

Marketing
Our realized marketing fuel margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of fuels in our M&S segment and (b) costs of those fuels. The realized marketing fuel margins are adjusted to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized marketing fuel margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by sales volumes measured on a barrel basis. We believe realized marketing fuel margin per barrel demonstrates the value uplift our marketing operations provide by optimizing the placement and ultimate sale of our facilities’ fuel production.
Within the M&S segment, the GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized marketing fuel margin per barrel is the marketing business’ “income before income taxes per barrel.” Realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. Because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes these items, and because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income before income taxes to realized marketing fuel margins:

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the company’s analysis of its financial performance, financial condition, and significant trends that may affect future performance. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The term “earnings” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to net income attributable to Phillips 66. The terms “results,” “before-tax income” or “before-tax loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) before income taxes.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned as a diversified and integrated downstream energy company operating with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties (M&S) segments. At December 31, 2023, we had total assets of $75.5 billion.
Executive Overview
During 2023, we reported earnings of $7 billion, generated $7 billion in cash from operating activities and received proceeds from debt offerings, net of debt repayments, of $2 billion. We used available cash primarily to repurchase noncontrolling interests in DCP Midstream, LP (DCP LP) for $4.1 billion, fund capital expenditures and investments of $2.4 billion, repurchase shares of common stock for $4 billion and pay dividends on our common stock of $1.9 billion. We ended 2023 with $3.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $6.4 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.
Strategic Priorities Update
In November 2022, we announced financial and operational targets toward achieving the company’s strategic priorities and in October 2023, we announced updates to certain targets. Our strategic priorities that are intended to enhance long-term shareholder value include:
•Deliver Shareholder Returns – We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. We increased our target for returns to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends from July 2022 through year-end 2024 to a range of $13 billion to $15 billion from a range of $10 billion to $12 billion. In support of the increased target, our Board of Directors approved a $5 billion increase to our share repurchase authorization on October 25, 2023. We plan to return at least 50% of net cash provided by operating activities to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. In 2023, we paid $4 billion to repurchase shares of our common stock and paid dividends on our common stock of $1.9 billion. The amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases is subject to the discretion of, and approval by, our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
We also plan to monetize certain assets that are no longer considered to be a long-term strategic fit. We expect to generate proceeds of over $3 billion from the disposition of these non-core assets, which we plan to use to further advance our strategic priorities, including returns to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. The timing of these asset dispositions will be subject to satisfactory market conditions and any necessary regulatory approvals.
•Improve Refining Performance – We are focused on optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations, which will enable us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. We plan to enhance Refining segment returns and increase our utilization rates by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability, improve market capture and reduce costs. During 2023, our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 92% and our worldwide refining clean product yield was 85%, compared to 90% and 84%, respectively, in 2022.

•Capture Value from Wellhead-to-Market – We are focused on growing our fully integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) wellhead-to-market value chain within our Midstream segment. As part of executing this strategy, we completed two transactions that increased our economic interest in DCP LP; the first in 2022, which increased our indirect economic interest to 43.3%, and the second in 2023, which increased our aggregate direct and indirect economic interest in DCP LP to 86.8%. We have already captured operating and commercial synergies from these transactions and remain focused on capturing additional synergies as we complete our integration activities in 2024. In 2024, we have budgeted $985 million of capital expenditures and investments in our Midstream segment, of which $593 million will be focused on enhancing our integrated NGL wellhead-to-market value chain. In addition, growth capital includes $250 million related to the repayment of our 25% share of Dakota Access, LLC’s (Dakota Access) debt due in 2024.
•Execute Business Transformation – We continue to progress our multi-year business transformation aimed at sustainably reducing our cost structure. We exceeded our savings target by achieving a run-rate cost reduction of $900 million per year and sustaining capital reduction of $300 million per year by the end of 2023. As such, we are now targeting a run-rate cost reduction of $1.1 billion per year by the end of 2024, while maintaining our sustaining capital reduction of $300 million per year in 2024.
•Maintain Financial Strength and Flexibility – During 2023, we successfully reduced our sustaining capital spend and used available cash and proceeds from debt offerings to increase our economic interest in DCP LP, repurchase shares of our common stock, pay dividends on our common stock, fund capital expenditures and investments and repay a portion of DCP LP’s debt.
•Drive Disciplined Growth and Returns – A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we invest in projects that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy remains focused on investing growth capital in the Midstream and Chemicals segments. We are also investing in capital-efficient renewable fuels projects to advance a lower-carbon future. In 2024, we have budgeted $2.2 billion in capital expenditures and investments, which includes $1.3 billion of growth capital.
DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger (DCP Midstream Merger)
On August 17, 2022, we announced a realignment of our economic and governance interests in DCP LP and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak Pipeline) resulting from the merger of DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream) and Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Gray Oak Holdings). In connection with the DCP Midstream Merger, we were delegated DCP Midstream’s governance rights over DCP LP and its general partner entities, referred to as DCP Midstream Class A Segment, and our indirect economic interest in DCP LP increased to 43.3%.
Starting on August 18, 2022, our financial results reflect the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, as well as DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Southern Hills). Since the DCP Midstream Merger, we have taken steps to integrate the operations and personnel of DCP Midstream Class A Segment to enable the capture of commercial and operational synergies.
DCP Midstream, LP Merger (DCP LP Merger)
On June 15, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all publicly held common units of DCP LP pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 5, 2023 (DCP LP Merger Agreement). The DCP LP Merger Agreement was entered into with DCP LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner entities, pursuant to which one of our wholly owned subsidiaries merged with and into DCP LP, with DCP LP surviving as a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the DCP LP Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the DCP LP Merger, each publicly held common unit representing a limited partner interest in DCP LP (other than the common units owned by DCP Midstream and its subsidiaries) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash. The DCP LP Merger increased our aggregate direct and indirect economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8%.
See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the DCP Midstream and DCP LP Mergers.

Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business, including DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL and natural gas prices. During 2023, NGL and natural gas prices decreased, compared with 2022, as the result of increased production.
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. Compared with 2022, the benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin decreased in 2023, due to lower polyethylene sales prices as a result of industry oversupply driven by recent capacity additions.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. The composite 3:2:1 market crack spread for our business decreased to an average of $28.37 per barrel during 2023, from an average of $34.26 per barrel in 2022. The decrease in the composite market crack spread was primarily driven by lower global prices for gasoline and distillates reflecting reduced refining costs due to lower natural gas prices. While the composite market crack spread fell in 2023, from the highest levels in at least a decade during 2022, it remains well above the five-year and 10-year average levels. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, decreased to an average of $77.69 per barrel during 2023, from an average of $94.44 per barrel in 2022. The decrease in crude oil prices was primarily driven by increased production in the United States and other countries outside of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined petroleum products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined petroleum products in the regions and countries where we operate.

| Net income attributable to Phillips 66 | $ | 7,015 | 11,024 | 1,317 |
2023 vs. 2022
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $7,015 million, compared with $11,024 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily due to the recognition of an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million in 2022 in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger and a decline in realized refining margins, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense and lower unrealized investment losses related to our investment in NOVONIX Limited (NOVONIX).
2022 vs. 2021
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $11,024 million, compared with $1,317 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily due to higher realized refining margins, an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger, lower impairments in the Refining segment, and improved international marketing fuel margins. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in income tax expense, lower equity earnings from CPChem, and an unrealized decrease in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX.

Statement of Income Analysis
2023 vs. 2022
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products decreased 13% and 15%, respectively, in 2023. These decreases were mainly due to lower prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 32% in 2023, resulting from lower equity earnings from DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills, DCP Southern Hills and Gray Oak Pipeline due to the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022, as well as decreased equity earnings from WRB Refining LP (WRB) and CPChem primarily due to lower margins, partially offset by lower operating costs. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and the Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information.
Net gain on dispositions increased $108 million in 2023, primarily due to a before-tax gain recognized in the Midstream segment in the third quarter of 2023 associated with the sale of our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal.
Other income decreased $2,378 million in 2023, primarily due to an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022. The decrease was partially offset by lower unrealized investment losses on our investment in NOVONIX in 2023 compared to 2022, and higher interest income. See Note 4—Business Combinations, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the aggregate before-tax gain. See Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16% in 2023, mainly driven by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills starting in August 2022 and higher costs associated with our business transformation. These increases were partially offset by lower selling expenses due to decreased refined petroleum product prices. See Note 31—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding restructuring costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased 21% in 2023, primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization related to assets acquired as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Southern Hills and DCP Sand Hills starting in August 2022.
Taxes other than income taxes increased 33% in 2023, primarily due to consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills starting in August 2022 and an increase in environmental taxes.
Interest and debt expense increased 45% in 2023, primarily driven by higher interest expense as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, new debt issuances in 2023 related to the DCP LP Merger, and a $53 million before-tax loss on the early redemption of DCP LP’s 5.850% junior subordinated notes.
Income tax expense decreased 31% in 2023, primarily due to lower income before income taxes. See Note 23—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased 39% in 2023. The decrease reflects the impacts of the DCP LP Merger in June 2023, and the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills and the derecognition of a noncontrolling interest related to Gray Oak Holdings as a result of the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022. The decrease also reflects the impact of the merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners in March 2022. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, and Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the DCP Midstream Merger and the Phillips 66 Partners merger, respectively.

2022 vs. 2021
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products increased 52% and 47%, respectively, in 2022. These increases were mainly due to higher prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.
Other income increased $2,283 million in 2022, primarily due to an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger. The impact of this gain was partially offset by an unrealized investment loss on our investment in NOVONIX, compared with an unrealized gain in 2021. See Note 4—Business Combinations, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the aggregate before-tax gain. See Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
Operating expenses increased 19% in 2022, mainly attributable to higher utility costs driven by increased natural gas and power prices and higher turnaround and other maintenance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24% in 2022, primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses, restructuring costs related to our business transformation and increased selling expenses driven by rising refined petroleum product prices.
Impairments decreased 96% in 2022, primarily due to a before-tax impairment of $1,298 million recorded in the third quarter of 2021 associated with our Alliance Refinery. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
Taxes other than income taxes increased 29% in 2022, primarily due to tax credits received from renewable diesel blending activity at our San Francisco Refinery in the third quarter of 2021, as well as higher property and other taxes.
Income tax expense increased $3,102 million in 2022 primarily due to improved results. See Note 23—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased 32% in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills as part of the DCP Midstream Merger in August 2022, which resulted in us reflecting the additional noncontrolling interests owned by the public common and preferred unitholders of DCP LP, as well as Enbridge’s noncontrolling interest in DCP Midstream Class A Segment, on our consolidated statement of income. The increase was partially offset by a decrease due to the merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners in March 2022 that resulted in Phillips 66 Partners becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, and Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the DCP Midstream Merger and the Phillips 66 Partners merger, respectively.

2023 vs. 2022
Results from our Midstream segment decreased $1,960 million in 2023, compared with 2022.
Results from our Transportation business increased $134 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The increase in 2023 was primarily due to higher volumes and tariffs, as well as decreased operating costs, partially offset by lower before-tax gains on sales and transfers of interests in equity affiliates. In August 2023, we recognized a $101 million before-tax gain on the sale of our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal, while in August 2022, we recognized a before-tax gain of $182 million related to the transfer of an indirect economic interest in Gray Oak Pipeline as part of the DCP Midstream Merger.
Results from our NGL and Other business decreased $2,497 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an aggregate before-tax gain of $2,831 million recognized in the third quarter of 2022 from remeasuring our previously held equity investments in DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills to their fair values in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger. The decrease was partially offset by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, as well as increased fractionation volumes at the Sweeny Hub reflecting the startup of Frac 4 in October 2022.
The fair value of our investment in NOVONIX declined by $39 million in 2023, compared with a decline of $442 million in 2022.
In the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, for additional information on our investment in NOVONIX and the before-tax gain on the sale of our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal in August 2023. See also Note 4—Business Combinations, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the before-tax gains recorded in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting 2023 results.
2022 vs. 2021
Midstream’s results increased $3,234 million in 2022, compared with 2021.
Results from our Transportation business increased $498 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to a before-tax impairment of $198 million recorded in the first quarter of 2021 related to Phillips 66 Partners’ decision to exit the Liberty Pipeline project, a before-tax gain of $182 million from the transfer of a 35.75% indirect economic interest in Gray Oak Pipeline to our co-venturer as part of the DCP Midstream Merger, and lower depreciation and amortization expense from logistic assets that were retired in the fourth quarter of 2021 as part of the planned conversion of the Alliance Refinery to a terminal.
Results from our NGL and Other business increased $3,548 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to before-tax gains totaling $2,831 million recognized from remeasuring our previously held equity investments in DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills to their fair values in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger. Additionally, the increased results reflect the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, as well as improved Sweeny Hub results.
In 2022, the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX decreased by $442 million compared with an increase of $370 million in 2021. We acquired this investment in September 2021.
See Note 11—Impairments, and Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on impairments and our investment in NOVONIX, respectively. See Note 4—Business Combinations, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the before-tax gains recorded in connection with the DCP Midstream Merger.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals. CPChem produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. CPChem manufactures and markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene, as well as manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
2023 vs. 2022
Results from the Chemicals segment decreased $256 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower margins driven by decreased sales prices, partially offset by lower utility costs due to a decline in natural gas prices.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 2023 results.
2022 vs. 2021
Results from the Chemicals segment decreased $988 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower margins driven by decreased sales prices, higher feedstock and utility costs, as well as decreased results from CPChem’s equity affiliates.

Our Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, as well as renewable fuels. This segment includes 12 refineries in the United States and Europe. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we shut down our Alliance Refinery and converted it into a terminal.
2023 vs. 2022
Results from the Refining segment decreased $2,550 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized margins, partially offset by lower utility costs. The decrease in realized margins was primarily driven by a decline in market crack spreads, partially offset by increased feedstock advantage and improved crude optimization benefits.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 92% and 90% in 2023 and 2022, respectively. See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on industry crack spreads and other market factors impacting this year’s results.

2022 vs. 2021
Results from the Refining segment increased $10,169 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The improved results were primarily due to higher realized refining margins driven by improved market crack spreads, partially offset by higher operating costs. In addition, 2021 included a before-tax impairment of $1,288 million associated with our Alliance Refinery. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding this impairment.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 90% and 84% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in 2022 was primarily driven by improved demand for refined petroleum products due to supply constraints caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and easing of restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, as well as renewable fuels, mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of base oils and lubricants.
2023 vs. 2022
Before-tax income from the M&S segment decreased $267 million in 2023, compared with 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily driven by lower international realized marketing fuel margins and decreased equity earnings from affiliates, partially offset by higher U.S. realized marketing fuel margins.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on marketing fuel margins and other market factors impacting 2023 results.
2022 vs. 2021
Before-tax income from the M&S segment increased $679 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase in 2022 was primarily driven by improved realized international marketing fuel margins and higher results from our specialty lubricants and other businesses.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Corporate overhead and other includes general and administrative expenses, technology costs, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, restructuring costs related to our business transformation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment.
2023 vs. 2022
Net interest expense increased $91 million in 2023, compared with 2022, primarily driven by higher interest expense as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment, new debt issuances in 2023 related to the DCP LP Merger and a $53 million before-tax loss on the early redemption of DCP LP’s 5.850% junior subordinated notes. The increase in interest expense in 2023 was partially offset by increased interest income. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding debt.
Corporate overhead and other increased $46 million in 2023, compared with 2022, primarily due to higher costs related to our business transformation. See Note 31—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding restructuring costs.
2022 vs. 2021
Net interest expense decreased $46 million in 2022, compared with 2021, primarily driven by increased interest income, partially offset by increased interest expense as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment from August 18, 2022, forward. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding debt.
Corporate overhead and other increased $241 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to restructuring costs associated with our business transformation for consulting fees, severance and an impairment related to assets held for sale, as well as higher employee related expenses. See Note 28—Segment Disclosures and Related Information, and Note 31—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding restructuring costs.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During 2023, we generated $7 billion in cash from operations and received proceeds from debt offerings, net of debt repayments, of $2 billion. We used available cash primarily to repurchase noncontrolling interests in DCP LP for $4.1 billion, repurchase shares of our common stock for $4 billion, fund capital expenditures and investments of $2.4 billion, and pay dividends on our common stock of $1.9 billion. During 2023, cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During 2023, cash generated by operating activities was $7 billion, a $3.8 billion decrease compared with 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized refining margins, working capital impacts, reduced operating distributions from equity affiliates, completion of long-term crude oil exchanges and higher contributions to our pension plans.
During 2022, cash generated by operating activities was $10.8 billion, a $4.8 billion increase compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings resulting from improved realized refining margins, partially offset by working capital impacts and lower operating distributions from equity affiliates.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impacts our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability, and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by margins and prices. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 92%, 90% and 84% in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our worldwide refining clean product yield was 85%, 84% and 83% in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates, including CPChem. Over the three years ended December 31, 2023, our operating cash flows included aggregate distributions from our equity affiliates of $5.6 billion, including $2.2 billion from CPChem. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these equity affiliates are not assured.

Tax Refunds
We received a U.S. federal income tax refund of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Asset Dispositions
On August 1, 2023, we sold our 25% ownership interest in the South Texas Gateway Terminal for approximately $275 million.
On February 28, 2023, we closed on the sale of the Belle Chasse Terminal for approximately $76 million.
Debt Issuances
On March 29, 2023, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of:
•$750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Senior Notes due December 2027 (2027 Notes).
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Senior Notes due June 2033 (2033 Notes).
The 2027 Notes and 2033 Notes (collectively, the Notes) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66. Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year and commenced on December 1, 2023. Interest on the 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 30 of each year and commenced on December 30, 2023.
Term Loan Agreement
On March 27, 2023, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, entered into a $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan agreement guaranteed by Phillips 66 (the Term Loan Agreement). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a single borrowing during a 90-day period commencing on the closing date, which borrowing was contingent upon the completion of the DCP LP Merger. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants similar to those contained in our revolving credit agreement, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Term Loan Agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate plus the applicable margin, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. At December 31, 2023, $1.25 billion was borrowed under the Term Loan Agreement, which matures in June 2026. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the DCP LP Merger.
Related Party Advance Term Loan Agreements
Borrowings under related party Advance Term Loan agreements with WRB increased from $25 million at December 31, 2022, to $290 million at December 31, 2023. Borrowings under these agreements are due in 2035 and 2038 and bear interest at a floating rate based on the adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin, payable on the last day of each month.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company
On June 23, 2022, we entered into a $5 billion revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor and a scheduled maturity date of June 22, 2027. The Facility replaced our previous $5 billion revolving credit facility with Phillips 66 as the borrower and Phillips 66 Company as the guarantor. The Facility contains usual and customary covenants that are similar to the previous revolving credit facility, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. We have the option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the Facility for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either (a) the adjusted term SOFR (as described in the Facility) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Facility) plus the applicable margin. The Facility also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The pricing levels for the commitment fees and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for our senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, no amount had been drawn under the Facility.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by the Facility. Commercial paper maturities are contractually limited to 365 days. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, no borrowings were outstanding under the program.
Phillips 66 Partners
In connection with entering into the Facility, we terminated Phillips 66 Partners’ $750 million revolving credit facility.
DCP Midstream Class A Segment
DCP LP has a credit facility under its amended credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), with a borrowing capacity of up to $1.4 billion that matures on March 18, 2027. The Credit Agreement grants DCP LP the option to increase the revolving loan commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million and to extend the term for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to requisite lender approval. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (a) an adjusted SOFR (as described in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin; or (b) the base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid based on DCP LP’s credit rating. At December 31, 2023, DCP LP had $25 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, DCP LP had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, $2 million and $10 million in letters of credit had been issued that are supported by the Credit Agreement.
DCP LP has an accounts receivable securitization facility (the Securitization Facility) that provides for up to $350 million of borrowing capacity through August 2024 at an adjusted SOFR and includes an uncommitted option to increase the total commitments under the Securitization Facility by up to an additional $400 million. Under the Securitization Facility, certain of DCP LP’s wholly owned subsidiaries sell or contribute receivables to another of DCP LP’s consolidated subsidiaries, DCP Receivables LLC, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of the Securitization Facility. At December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, $350 million and $40 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Securitization Facility, which are secured by accounts receivable at DCP Receivables LLC.
Total Committed Capacity Available
At December 31, 2023, and 2022, we had approximately $6.4 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, of total committed capacity available under the credit facilities described above.

Senior Unsecured Notes
In November 2021, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.300% senior unsecured notes due 2052. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2052 is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2022. Proceeds received from the public offering were $982 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, as well as debt issuance costs. In December 2021, Phillips 66 used the proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its $2 billion 4.300% Senior Notes due April 2022.
Phillips 66 Partners Term Loan
In April 2021, Phillips 66 Partners entered into a $450 million term loan agreement with a one-year term and borrowed the full amount. The term loan agreement was repaid upon maturity in April 2022 without premium or penalty.
Phillips 66 Availability of Debt Financing
We have an A3 credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard & Poor’s. These investment grade ratings have served to lower our borrowing costs and facilitate access to a variety of lenders. We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or both rating agencies. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings could prohibit us from accessing the commercial paper market, although we would expect to be able to access funds under our liquidity facilities mentioned above.
DCP LP Availability of Debt Financing
DCP LP has a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard and Poor’s and a Baa3 credit rating, with a positive outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service. These ratings facilitate DCP LP’s access to a variety of lenders. DCP LP does not have any ratings triggers on any of its corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or more rating agencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2025, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. We have a residual value guarantee associated with the operating lease agreement with a maximum potential future exposure of $514 million at December 31, 2023. We also have residual value guarantees associated with railcar, airplane and truck leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $168 million. These leases have remaining terms of one to ten years.
Dakota Access and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The trial court later vacated the easement. Although the easement is vacated, the USACE has no plans to stop pipeline operations while it proceeds with the EIS, and the Tribe’s request for a shutdown was denied in May 2021. In June 2021, the trial court dismissed the litigation entirely. Once the EIS is completed, new litigation or challenges may be filed.
In February 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court (the Court) denied Dakota Access’ writ of certiorari requesting the Court to review the trial court’s decision to order the EIS and vacate the easement. Therefore, the requirement to prepare the EIS stood. Also in February 2022, the Tribe withdrew as a cooperating agency, causing the USACE to halt the EIS process while the USACE engaged with the Tribe on their reasons for withdrawing.
The draft EIS process resumed in August 2022, and in September 2023 the USACE published its draft EIS for public comment. The USACE identified five potential outcomes, but did not indicate which one it preferred. The options comprise two “no action” alternatives where the USACE would deny an easement to Dakota Access and require it to shut down the pipeline and either remove the pipe from under Lake Oahe or allow the pipeline to be abandoned-in-place under the lake. The USACE also identified three “action” alternatives. Two of them contemplate that the USACE would reissue the easement to Dakota Access under essentially the same terms as 2017 with either the same or a larger volume of oil allowed through the pipeline while the third alternative would require decommissioning the current pipeline and construction of a new line 39 miles upstream from the current location. The USACE has not indicated when it will issue its final decision.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of senior unsecured notes issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access in March 2019. On April 1, 2022, Dakota Access’ wholly owned subsidiary repaid $650 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior notes upon maturity. We funded our 25% share, or $163 million, with a capital contribution of $89 million in March 2022 and $74 million of distributions we elected not to receive from Dakota Access in the first quarter of 2022. At December 31, 2023, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Dakota Access’ senior unsecured notes was $1.85 billion.
In conjunction with the notes offering, Phillips 66 Partners, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, and its co-venturers in Dakota Access also provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU). Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above-mentioned ongoing litigation. At December 31, 2023, our 25% share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $467 million.
If the pipeline is required to cease operations, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Should operations cease and Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay its expenses, we also could be required to support our 25% share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $20 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU at December 31, 2023.

Subsequent Repayment
On February 15, 2024, upon maturity, Phillips 66 repaid its 0.900% senior notes due February 2024 with an aggregate principal amount of $800 million.
Debt Exchange
On May 5, 2022, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, completed offers to exchange (the Exchange Offers) all validly tendered notes of seven different series of notes issued by Phillips 66 Partners (collectively, the Old Notes), with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.5 billion, for notes issued by Phillips 66 Company (collectively, the New Notes). The New Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66 and rank equally with Phillips 66 Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and the guarantees rank equally with Phillips 66’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Old Notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.2 billion were tendered in the Exchange Offers. The New Notes have the same interest rates, interest payment dates and maturity dates as the Old Notes. Holders that validly tendered before the end of the early participation period on April 19, 2022 (the Early Participation Date), received New Notes with an aggregate principal amount equivalent to the Old Notes, while holders that validly tendered after the Early Participation Date, but before the Expiration Date, received New Notes with an aggregate principal amount 3% less than the Old Notes. Substantially all of the Old Notes exchanged were tendered during the Early Participation Period.
DCP Midstream Merger
On August 17, 2022, we and our co-venturer, Enbridge, agreed to merge DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings with DCP Midstream as the surviving entity. As part of the DCP Midstream Merger, we made a net cash payment of $306 million.

DCP LP Merger
On June 15, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all publicly held common units of DCP LP pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 5, 2023 (DCP LP Merger Agreement). The DCP LP Merger Agreement was entered into with DCP LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner entities, pursuant to which one of our wholly owned subsidiaries merged with and into DCP LP, with DCP LP surviving as a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the DCP LP Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the DCP LP Merger, each publicly held common unit representing a limited partner interest in DCP LP (other than the common units owned by DCP Midstream and its subsidiaries) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash. The DCP LP Merger increased our aggregate direct and indirect economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8%.
We paid approximately $3.8 billion in cash consideration, funded with a combination of available cash and proceeds from the offering of the Notes and borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement.
See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, Note 14—Debt, and Note 29—DCP Midstream Class A Segment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
DCP LP Preferred Units
On October 16, 2023, DCP LP redeemed its Series C preferred units with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $110 million.
On June 15, 2023, DCP LP redeemed its Series B preferred units with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $161 million.
In December 2022, DCP LP redeemed its Series A preferred units with an aggregate liquidation preference of $500 million.
DCP LP Cash Distributions to Unitholders
DCP LP’s partnership agreement requires it to distribute all available cash within 45 days after the end of each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2023, DCP LP made cash distributions of $125 million to common unitholders other than Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries and $15 million to preferred unitholders.
See Note 29—DCP Midstream Class A Segment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the DCP LP public common unit acquisition and the redemptions of DCP LP’s Series B and Series C preferred units.
Merger with Phillips 66 Partners
On March 9, 2022, we completed a merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners. The merger resulted in the acquisition of all limited partnership interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us in exchange for 41.8 million shares of Phillips 66 common stock issued from treasury stock. Phillips 66 Partners common unitholders received 0.50 shares of Phillips 66 common stock for each outstanding Phillips 66 Partners common unit. Phillips 66 Partners’ perpetual convertible preferred units were converted into common units at a premium to the original issuance price prior to being exchanged for Phillips 66 common stock. Upon closing, Phillips 66 Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 and its common units are no longer publicly traded. See Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger transaction.
Dividends
On February 7, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.05 per common share. The dividend is payable March 1, 2024, to holders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2024.

Share Repurchases
On October 25, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a $5 billion increase to our share repurchase authorization. Since the inception of our share repurchase program in 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $25 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock, and we have repurchased 213.8 million shares at an aggregate cost of $18 billion. In 2023, we repurchased 37.8 million shares at an aggregate cost of $4 billion. Our share repurchase authorizations do not expire. Any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.
Employee Benefit Plan Contributions
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we contributed $391 million to our U.S. pension plans and $20 million to our international pension plans.
Marketing and Specialties Acquisition
On August 1, 2023, we acquired a marketing business on the U.S. West Coast for total consideration of $269 million. This acquisition supports the placement of renewable diesel that will be produced by the Rodeo renewable fuels facility.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, outstanding debt principal and interest obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, and asset retirement and environmental obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled with operating cash flows in the period when due. At December 31, 2023, our purchase obligations totaled $84.8 billion, with $40.7 billion due within one year.
The majority of our purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including exchanges and futures, for the purchase of commodities such as crude oil and NGL. The commodities are used to supply our refineries and fractionators and optimize our supply chain. At December 31, 2023, commodity purchase commitments with third parties and related parties were $44.2 billion and $23.9 billion, respectively. The remaining purchase obligations mainly represent agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store products, and our net share of purchase commitments for materials and services for jointly owned facilities where we are the operator.
Debt Principal and Interest Obligations
As of December 31, 2023, our aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt was $19.5 billion, with $1.5 billion due within one year. Our obligations for interest on the debt totaled $9.6 billion, with $870 million due within one year. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our outstanding debt principal and interest obligations.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
See Note 20—Leases, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our lease obligations and timing of our expected lease payments.
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations
See Note 12—Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding asset retirement and environmental obligations.

Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, was $3.1 billion, primarily for projects to enhance the yield of higher-value products, produce renewable fuels, and sustain the reliability and safety of our facilities. Key projects funded during the three-year period included:
•Installation of facilities to produce renewable fuels at our San Francisco and Humber refineries.
•Installation of facilities to improve clean product yield at the Ponca City and Sweeny refineries, as well as the jointly owned Wood River Refinery.
•Installation of facilities to improve product value at the Lake Charles Refinery.
•Installation of facilities to improve utilization and product value at the jointly owned Borger refinery.
Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, was primarily for the acquisition of a marketing business and a commercial fleet fueling business on the U.S. West Coast, both of which will provide further placement opportunities for renewable diesel production to end-use customers; investment in a retail marketing joint venture in the U.S. Central region; and the continued acquisition, development and enhancement of retail sites in Europe.
Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, was primarily related to information technology and facilities.
2024 Budget
Our 2024 capital budget is $2.2 billion, including $923 million for sustaining capital and $1.3 billion for growth capital. Our sustaining capital budget reflects $300 million of efficiencies as a result of our business transformation efforts. Our projected $2.2 billion capital budget excludes our portion of planned capital spending by our major joint ventures CPChem and WRB totaling $1 billion.
The Midstream capital budget of $985 million comprises a growth capital budget of $593 million focused on enhancing our integrated NGL wellhead-to-market value chain, as well as $250 million related to the repayment of our 25% share of Dakota Access’ debt due in 2024. The Midstream capital budget also includes $392 million for sustaining projects, including DCP LP’s sustaining capital of $200 million. In Refining, the total capital budget of $1.1 billion consists of $412 million for sustaining capital and $654 million for growth capital. Refining’s growth capital includes completing the conversion of the San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into one of the world’s largest renewable fuels facilities. Startup of the converted facility is expected in the first quarter of 2024. Refining’s growth capital will also support high-return, low-capital projects to enhance market capture. The M&S capital budget of $112 million reflects continued enhancement of our retail network, including energy transition opportunities. The Corporate and Other capital budget of $68 million will primarily fund information technology projects.

Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. 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. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.

Environmental
We are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Among the most significant of these international and federal environmental laws and regulations are the:
•U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges into bodies of water.
•European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EU REACH), which governs production, marketing and use of chemicals and the United Kingdom’s legislation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (UK REACH), which replaced EU REACH in the United Kingdom in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT).
•U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.
•U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal of solid waste.
•U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires facilities to report toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.
•U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90), under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a discharge of crude oil into navigable waters of the United States.
•European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS), which replaced the EU ETS in the United Kingdom in 2021, following BREXIT.
These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish water quality limits. They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations. These permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the agency’s processing of the application. Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control of the applicant.
Other countries and many states where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and regulations governing these same types of activities. While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of developing infrastructure and marketing and transporting products across state and international borders. For example, in California the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved amendments to the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that became effective in 2016, which required a phased reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions through 2022, affecting refineries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2017, SCAQMD required additional nitrogen oxide emissions reductions through 2025 and, on November 5, 2021, promulgated new regulations to replace the RECLAIM program with a traditional command and control regulatory regime.
The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determinable as new standards, such as air emissions standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, continue to evolve. However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. Notable areas of potential impacts include air emissions compliance and remediation obligations in the United States.

An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The law requires fuel producers and importers to provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types. Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) form the mechanism used by the EPA to record compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). If an obligated party has more RINs than it needs to meet its obligation, it may sell or trade the extra RINs, or instead choose to “bank” them for use the following year. We have met the EPA’s renewable volume obligations (RVO) to date. These obligations have been met using a variety of operating and capital strategies. We are also implementing advanced and different technologies to address projected future RVOs. On June 21, 2023, the EPA finalized RVO for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 compliance years. These standards increase cellulosic volumes, which reflect the EPA’s forecast for increasing compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified natural gas (LNG) volumes derived from biogas. In addition, the EPA increased total advanced biofuel volumes from the 5.63 billion gallons established for the 2022 compliance year to 7.33 billion gallons in 2025. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products and increased program costs if not fully recovered in the market. This program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s final regulations establishing RVO requirements have been and continue to be subject to legal challenge, further creating uncertainty regarding RVO requirements.
We are required to purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the portion of our obligation under the RFS that is not fulfilled by blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we incurred expenses of $323 million, $478 million and $441 million, respectively, associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line item on our consolidated statement of income. Our jointly owned refineries also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $389 million, $437 million and $351 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These expenses are included in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line item on our consolidated statement of income. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery production, blending activities, and RVO requirements.
We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with current and past operations. Such laws and regulations include CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents. Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks located at numerous previously and currently owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States. Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) for soil and groundwater and both the EPA and many states may adopt cleanup standards for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which may have been a constituent in certain firefighting foams used or stored at or near some of our facilities.
At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions. If conditions warrant, we may be required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations. In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as “Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs is typically borne solely by us. We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the past few years. Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. At December 31, 2022, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 22 sites within the United States. During the last quarter of 2023, our legal organization approved the removal of one site following Department of Justice dismissal of Phillips 66, thus, leaving 21 unresolved sites with potential liability at December 31, 2023.
68
Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
For the majority of Superfund sites, our potential liability will be less than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low. Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share of liability has not increased materially. Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or attain a settlement of liability. Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain the EPA or equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan. There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial condition.
We incur costs related to the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of environmental pollution. Expensed environmental costs were $824 million in 2023 and are expected to be approximately $885 million and $863 million in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Capitalized environmental costs were $49 million in 2023 and are expected to be approximately $76 million and $216 million, in 2024 and 2025, respectively. These amounts do not include capital expenditures made for other purposes that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.
Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties and are not discounted (except those assumed in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis).
Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct, or once conducted, operations or at sites where our generated waste was disposed. We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the future, we may incur significant costs under both CERCLA and RCRA. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties. Therefore, it is difficult to develop reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. Examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:
•EU ETS, which is part of the European Union’s policy to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions. EU ETS impacts factories, power stations and other installations across all EU member states. As a result of the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (BREXIT), those types of entities in the United Kingdom are now subject to the UK ETS, rather than the EU ETS.
•EU Renewable Energy Directive II, which increases the EU’s energy consumption from renewable sources in the electricity, heat, and transportation sectors to 32% by 2030.
69
Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
•United Kingdom’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, which is intended to reduce the GHG emissions from fuel used in the United Kingdom transportation sector by encouraging the supply of renewable fuels.
•California’s Senate Bill No. 32, which requires reduction of California's GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 emission level by 2030, and Assembly Bill 398, which extends the California GHG emission cap and trade program through 2030. Other GHG emissions programs in states in the western U.S. have been enacted or are under consideration or development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, California’s Advanced Clean Cars and Trucks Programs, California’s Carbon Neutrality by 2045 Scoping Plan, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Climate Protection Plan, and Washington's carbon reduction programs.
•United States’ Inflation Reduction Act, which contains tax inducements and other provisions that incentivize investment, development, and deployment of alternative energy sources and technologies, which is intended to accelerate the energy transition.
•The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of potential climate change.
•The EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan. The EPA commenced rulemaking in 2017 to rescind the Clean Power Plan and, in August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as its replacement. On January 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia invalidated the ACE rule and remanded the matter to the EPA, essentially restarting this rulemaking process.
•Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.
In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007. Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through 2012, and Phase III ran from 2013 through to 2020. Phase IV runs from January 1, 2021 through 2030 and sectors covered under the ETS must reduce their GHG emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels and there is agreement between the EU Member States, the European Parliament, and the EU Commission (which is pending ratification by the EU Council and European Parliament) to increase the Phase IV GHG emissions reduction to 63% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU ETS and, instead, has been under the UK ETS since 2021. Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS and assets that are subject to the UK ETS.
From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France. The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris Agreement,” which, upon certain conditions being met, entered into force on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions. In 2017, President Trump announced his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement and that withdrawal became effective on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed the “Acceptance on Behalf of the United States of America,” which allows the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement. The United States officially rejoined the Paris Agreement in February 2021, which could lead to additional GHG emission reduction requirements for sources in the United States.
In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming at the state or federal levels with respect to GHG emissions. Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in additional financial burden in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.

Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program, GHG reduction requirements or carbon taxes could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation. Such laws and regulations could also increase demand for less carbon intensive energy sources.
An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act. The program had been limited to certain stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 was expanded to include emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs. The ultimate impact on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•The nature of the legislation or regulation, such as a cap and trade system or a tax on emissions.
•The GHG reductions required.
•The price and availability of offsets.
•The demand for, and amount and allocation of allowances.
•Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•Any potential significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased severe weather events, changes in sea levels and changes in temperature.
•Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions, and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment, and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation efforts throughout our operations.
In February 2022, we announced a target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity related to our operations by 50% of 2019 levels by the year 2050. The 2050 target builds upon our 2030 GHG emissions intensity targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions from our energy products by 15% compared to 2019 levels.
In addition to the disclosures above, we have issued our 2023 Sustainability Report that is accessible on our website and provides more detailed information on our ESG initiatives, including information on environmental metrics and other topics of interest to our stakeholders, which may not be considered material for SEC reporting purposes. The information contained in the Sustainability Report is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for descriptions of our major accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The following discussion of critical accounting estimates addresses accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change.
Business Combination
In accounting for a business combination, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests are recorded based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess or shortfall of the purchase price when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain, respectively. A significant amount of judgment is made in estimating the individual fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, noncontrolling interests and other assets and liabilities. We use available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party specialists in the valuation process as necessary.
The fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate; the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates; and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity specific differences. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the estimated results used to determine fair value.
See Note 4—Business Combinations, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on our acquisitions in 2023 and 2022.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future expected cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future before-tax cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple for similar assets; historical market transactions including similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant assumptions when necessary; or replacement cost adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments, including future volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of review.

Index to Financial Statements
Investments in nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment when there are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the investment’s carrying amount. When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value. When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery. When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, if appropriate. Different assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.
See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information about impairments recorded in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Refining
Our realized refining margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of petroleum products manufactured at our refineries and (b) costs of feedstocks, primarily crude oil, used to produce the petroleum products. The realized refining margins are adjusted to include our proportional share of our joint venture refineries’ realized margins, as well as to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized refining margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by total refinery processed inputs (primarily crude oil) measured on a barrel basis, including our share of inputs processed by our joint venture refineries. Our realized refining margin per barrel is intended to be comparable with industry refining margins, which are known as “crack spreads.” As discussed in “Executive Overview and Business Environment—Business Environment,” industry crack spreads measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. We believe realized refining margin per barrel calculated on a similar basis as industry crack spreads provides a useful measure of how well we performed relative to benchmark industry refining margins.
The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized refining margin per barrel is the Refining segment’s “income (loss) before income taxes per barrel.” Realized refining margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in a manufacturer’s gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income (loss) before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. It also includes our proportional share of joint venture refineries’ realized refining margins and excludes special items. Because realized refining margin per barrel is calculated in this manner, and because realized refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income (loss) before income taxes to realized refining margins:

Marketing
Our realized marketing fuel margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of fuels in our M&S segment and (b) costs of those fuels. The realized marketing fuel margins are adjusted to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized marketing fuel margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by sales volumes measured on a barrel basis. We believe realized marketing fuel margin per barrel demonstrates the value uplift our marketing operations provide by optimizing the placement and ultimate sale of our refineries’ fuel production.
Within the M&S segment, the GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized marketing fuel margin per barrel is the marketing business’ “income before income taxes per barrel.” Realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. Because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes these items, and because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool.

DCP LP Public Common Unit Acquisition Agreement
On January 5, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement with DCP LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner entities, pursuant to which one of our wholly owned subsidiaries will merge with and into DCP LP, with DCP LP surviving as a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each publicly held common unit representing a limited partner interest in DCP LP (other than the common units owned by DCP LP and DCP Midstream GP, LP) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash, without interest. The merger will increase our economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8%. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of the general partner of DCP LP, based on the unanimous approval and recommendation of its special committee comprised entirely of independent directors after evaluation of the transaction by the special committee in consultation with independent financial and legal advisors. Concurrently with the execution of the agreement, affiliates of Phillips 66, which together own greater than a majority of the outstanding DCP LP common units, delivered their consent to approve the transaction. As a result, DCP LP has not solicited and is not soliciting approval of the transaction by any other holders of DCP LP common units. See Note 29—DCP Midstream Class A Segment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the common unit acquisition agreement.
Phillips 66 Partners Merger
On March 9, 2022, we completed the merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners). The merger resulted in the acquisition of all limited partnership interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us.

On April 12, 2022, Greg C. Garland, announced his intention to retire from his position as Chief Executive Officer of Phillips 66, effective July 1, 2022. Mr. Garland continues to serve as Executive Chairman of the Board with an expected retirement date from this position in 2024. Mark E. Lashier was promoted to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2022.
We continue to focus on the following strategic priorities:
•Operating Excellence. Our commitment to operating excellence guides everything we do. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of everyone who has a role in our operations and the communities in which we operate. Continuous improvement in safety, environmental stewardship, reliability and cost efficiency is a fundamental requirement for our company and employees. We employ rigorous training and audit programs to drive ongoing improvement in both personal and process safety as we strive for zero incidents. In 2022, we achieved a combined workforce total recordable rate of 0.11.
Since we cannot control commodity prices, controlling operating expenses and overhead costs, within the context of our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, is a high priority. We continue to progress our multi-year business transformation initiative focused on identifying and implementing opportunities to improve our cost structure enterprise wide. We are executing on our initiatives to achieve a sustainable run-rate cost reduction of at least $800 million and a sustaining capital reduction of at least $200 million per year by the end of 2023.
We are committed to protecting the environment and strive to reduce our environmental footprint throughout our operations. Optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations enables us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. During 2022, our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 90% and our worldwide refining clean product yield was 84%.

•Growth. A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we invest in projects that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy primarily focuses on investing in high-return growth opportunities in the Midstream and Chemicals segments, as well as our investments in renewable fuels projects to advance a lower-carbon future. In 2023, we have budgeted $2 billion in capital expenditures and investments, which includes $1.1 billion of growth capital. Approximately 50% of growth capital is expected to support lower-carbon opportunities. In Midstream, we have budgeted $639 million for capital expenditures and investments, of which $310 million is for growth capital projects directed towards enhancing our integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) value chain from wellhead to market. In Refining, we have budgeted $1.1 billion for capital expenditures and investments, of which $448 million is for the continued conversion of the San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California into a renewable fuels facility.
In Chemicals, our share of expected self-funded capital spending by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) is $925 million, of which $702 million is for growth capital projects. CPChem plans to use its growth capital to fund development of its petrochemical projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Qatar, as well as expand its propylene splitting capacity and normal alpha olefins production.
As part of our strategy to grow our Midstream NGL business, on January 5, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the publicly held common units of DCP LP, which will increase our economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8% at closing. This transaction will be accounted for as an equity transaction and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. We expect to fund this transaction with a combination of cash and debt.
•Returns. We plan to enhance Refining returns by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability, improve market capture and reduce costs. Our M&S segment will continue to develop and enhance our retail network, including energy transition opportunities.
•Distributions. We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. In 2022, we paid $1.8 billion of dividends on our common stock. In the second quarter of 2022, we increased our quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.97 per common share. In the first quarter of 2023, we increased our quarterly dividend by 8% to $1.05 per common share. Regular dividends demonstrate the confidence our Board of Directors and management have in our capital structure and operations’ capability to generate free cash flow throughout the business cycle. In the second quarter of 2022, we resumed repurchasing shares under our share repurchase program. In 2022, we repurchased $1.5 billion, or 16.6 million shares, of our common stock. On November 7, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $5 billion increase to our share repurchase program, bringing the total amount of share repurchases authorized by our Board of Directors since July 2012 to an aggregate of $20 billion.
At the discretion of our Board of Directors, we are targeting to return $10 billion to $12 billion to our shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases in the period from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
•High-Performing Organization. We strive to attract, develop and retain individuals with the knowledge and skills to implement our business strategy and who support our values and culture. Throughout the company, we focus on promoting an inclusive workplace that enables our diverse workforce to innovate, create value and deliver extraordinary performance. We also focus on getting results in the right way and embracing our values as a common bond, and we believe success is both what we do and how we do it. We encourage collaboration throughout our company, while valuing differences, respecting diversity, and creating a great place to work. We foster an environment of learning and development through structured programs focused on enhancing functional and technical skills where employees are engaged in our business and committed to their own, as well as the company’s, success.

Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business, including DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL, natural gas and condensate prices. During 2022, NGL and natural gas prices increased, compared with 2021, supported by increasing liquified natural gas exports and higher crude oil prices.
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in CPChem. The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. Compared with 2021, the benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin decreased significantly in 2022, due to soft demand and increasing capacity, resulting in lower plant operating rates.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average of $94.44 per barrel during 2022, compared with an average of $67.96 per barrel in 2021. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. Worldwide market crack spreads increased to an average of $34.26 per barrel during 2022, compared with an average of $17.09 per barrel in 2021. The increases in crude oil prices and market crack spreads were primarily driven by improving demand for refined petroleum products, as economic activities gradually recovered as the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic moderated, as well as tightening supply due to the Russia-Ukraine war and refinery closures that occurred during the pandemic.
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined petroleum products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined petroleum products in the regions and countries where we operate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
Effective August 18, 2022, forward, in connection with the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings we began consolidating the results of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills. As a result of this transaction, we began presenting the results of DCP Midstream Class A Segment within the results of our NGL and Other business. Prior periods also have been updated to reflect the results of our equity investment in DCP Midstream prior to August 18, 2022, within the results of our NGL and Other business. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger, Note 4—Business Combination, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings.
Effective October 1, 2022, we changed the organizational structure of the internal financial information reviewed by our President and Chief Executive Officer, and determined this resulted in a change in the composition of our operating segments. As part of the realignment, we moved the results and net assets of our Merey Sweeny vacuum distillation and delayed coker units at our Sweeny Refinery and the isomerization unit at our Lake Charles Refinery from our Midstream segment to our Refining segment. Additionally, commissions charged to the Refining segment by the M&S segment related to sales of specialty products were eliminated and the costs of the sales organization were reclassified from the M&S segment to the Refining segment. Further, we are no longer presenting disaggregated business line results for our Chemicals and M&S segments to align with changes in our internal financial reporting.
Effective January 1, 2022, we began reporting our investment in NOVONIX Limited (NOVONIX) as a separate business line within our Midstream segment. Previously it was included in our NGL and Other business line.
The segment realignment and business line reporting changes are presented for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the prior periods recast for comparability.

2022 vs. 2021
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $11,024 million, compared with $1,317 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily due to higher realized refining margins, an aggregate before-tax gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings, lower impairments in the Refining segment, and improved international marketing fuel margins. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in income tax expense, lower equity earnings from CPChem, and an unrealized decrease in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX.
2021 vs. 2020
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1,317 million, compared with net loss attributable to Phillips 66 of $3,975 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improvement was primarily due to lower impairments, improved realized refining margins and higher equity earnings from CPChem, partially offset by income tax impacts from improved results.
See Note 4—Business Combination, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the gain recognized in connection with the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings. See Note 11—Impairments, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information on impairments recorded in 2021 and 2020.

Statement of Operations Analysis
2022 vs. 2021
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products increased 52% and 47%, respectively, in 2022. These increases were mainly due to higher prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.
Other income increased $2,283 million in 2022, primarily due to an aggregate gain of $3,013 million recognized in our Midstream segment in connection with the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings. The impact of this gain was partially offset by an unrealized investment loss on our investment in NOVONIX, compared with an unrealized gain in 2021. See Note 4—Business Combination, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the aggregate gain. See Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
Operating expenses increased 19% in 2022, mainly attributable to higher utility costs driven by increased natural gas and power prices and higher turnaround and other maintenance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24% in 2022, primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses, restructuring costs due to our business transformation and increased selling expenses driven by rising refined petroleum product prices.
Impairments decreased 96% in 2022 primarily due to a before-tax impairment of $1,298 million recorded in the third quarter of 2021 associated with our Alliance Refinery. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
Taxes other than income taxes increased 29% in 2022, primarily due to tax credits received from renewable diesel blending activity at our San Francisco Refinery in the third quarter of 2021, as well as higher property and other taxes.
Income tax expense increased $3,102 million in 2022 primarily due to improved results. See Note 23—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased 32% in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills, which resulted in us reflecting the additional noncontrolling interest owned by the public common and preferred unitholders of DCP LP, as well as Enbridge’s noncontrolling interest in DCP Midstream Class A Segment, on our consolidated statement of operations. The increase was partially offset by a decrease due to the merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners that occurred in the first quarter of 2022 and resulted in Phillips 66 Partners becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66. See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger, and Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings and the Phillips 66 Partners merger, respectively.

Index to Financial Statements
2021 vs. 2020
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products increased 74% and 77%, respectively, in 2021. These increases were mainly due to higher prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL, as well as increased volumes for refined petroleum products and crude oil.
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $1,713 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher equity earnings from CPChem mainly driven by increased margins, WRB Refining LP (WRB) resulting from improved realized refining margins and higher refinery production, and Excel Paralubes LLC (Excel Paralubes) attributable to higher base oil margins. See Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information on CPChem.
Net gain on dispositions decreased 83% in 2021, mainly reflecting a before-tax gain of $84 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020 associated with a co-venturer’s acquisition of an ownership interest in the consolidated holding company that owned an interest in Gray Oak Pipeline. See Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
Other income increased $388 million in 2021, primarily driven by an unrealized gain of $365 million related to the change in fair value of our investment in NOVONIX, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2021. See Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on our investment in NOVONIX.
Operating expenses increased 13% in 2021, mainly attributable to higher utility costs driven by increased commodity prices, higher employee-related expenses, and increased maintenance and repair costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13% in 2021, primarily driven by higher selling expenses due to rising refined petroleum product prices and demand, increased employee-related expenses, and a benefit received from a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2020.
Depreciation and amortization increased 15% in 2021, mainly due to asset retirements related to the shutdown of our Alliance Refinery. See Note 9—Properties, Plants and Equipment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding asset retirements related to the Alliance Refinery.
Impairments decreased 65% in 2021. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding impairments.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 12% in 2021, primarily driven by tax credits received from renewable diesel blending activity at our San Francisco Refinery in 2021, and lower property and franchise taxes.
Interest and debt expense increased 16% in 2021, primarily driven by lower capitalized interest due to the completion of capital projects and the placement of assets into service, as well as higher average debt principal balances resulting from new debt issuances in the second and fourth quarters of 2020.
We had income tax expense of $146 million in 2021, compared with an income tax benefit of $1,250 million in 2020, primarily due to before-tax income in 2021 versus a before-tax loss in 2020. See Note 23—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.

2022 vs. 2021
Results from our Midstream segment increased $3,234 million in 2022, compared with 2021.
Results from our Transportation business increased $498 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to a before-tax impairment of $198 million recorded in the first quarter of 2021 related to Phillips 66 Partners’ decision to exit the Liberty Pipeline project, a before-tax gain of $182 million from the transfer of a 35.75% indirect economic interest in Gray Oak Pipeline to our co-venturer as part of the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings, and lower depreciation and amortization expense from logistic assets that were retired in the fourth quarter of 2021 as part of the planned conversion of the Alliance Refinery to a terminal.
Results from our NGL and Other business increased $3,548 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to before-tax gains totaling $2,831 million recognized from remeasuring our previously held equity investments in DCP Midstream, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills to their fair values in connection with the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings. Additionally, the increased results reflect the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, as well as improved Sweeny Hub results.
In 2022, the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX decreased by $442 million compared with an increase of $370 million in 2021. We acquired this investment in September 2021.
See Note 11—Impairments, and Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on impairments and our investment in NOVONIX, respectively. See Note 4—Business Combination, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the before-tax gains.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting 2022 results.
2021 vs. 2020
Midstream’s results increased $1,616 million in 2021, compared with 2020.
Results from our Transportation business increased $170 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved earnings from our equity affiliates, lower asset impairments, and increased pipeline volumes and tariffs. These increases were partially offset by a before-tax gain of $84 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020 associated with a co-venturer’s acquisition of an ownership interest in the consolidated holding company that owned an interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, and increased depreciation and amortization expense from logistic assets that were retired in the fourth quarter of 2021 as part of the planned conversion of the Alliance Refinery to a terminal.
Results from our NGL and Other business increased $1,076 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase in 2021 reflects a $1,161 million before-tax impairment of our investment in DCP Midstream recorded in the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by higher utility costs due to increased natural gas prices.
The fair value of our investment in NOVONIX increased $370 million in 2021, compared with 2020. We acquired this investment in September 2021.
See Note 11—Impairments, Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP and Note 8—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on impairments, the before-tax gain and our investment in NOVONIX, respectively.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals. CPChem produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. CPChem manufactures and markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene, as well as manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
2022 vs. 2021
Before-tax income from the Chemicals segment decreased $988 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower margins driven by decreased sale prices, higher feedstock and utility costs, as well as decreased results from CPChem’s equity affiliates.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 2022 results.
2021 vs. 2020
Before-tax income from the Chemicals segment increased $1,209 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved margins driven by increased sale prices reflecting strong demand and tight supply, partially offset by higher utility, turnaround, maintenance and repair costs.

The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, as well as renewable fuels, at 12 refineries in the United States and Europe. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we shut down our Alliance Refinery.
2022 vs. 2021
Results from the Refining segment increased $10,169 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The improved results were primarily due to higher realized refining margins driven by improved market crack spreads, partially offset by higher operating costs. In addition, 2021 included a before-tax impairment of $1,288 million associated with our Alliance Refinery. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding this impairment.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 90% and 84% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in 2022 was primarily driven by improved demand for refined petroleum products due to supply constraints caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and easing of restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on industry crack spreads and other market factors impacting this year’s results.

2021 vs. 2020
Results from the Refining segment increased $3,670 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The improved results in 2021 were primarily due to higher realized refining margins and lower asset impairments, partially offset by increased utility expenses and higher costs related to the shutdown of our Alliance Refinery. The improved realized refining margins in 2021 were mainly attributable to increased market crack spreads, partially offset by higher RIN costs, lower clean product differentials and decreased secondary products margins. See Note 11—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding impairments recorded in our Refining segment during 2021 and 2020.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 84% and 76% in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in 2021 was primarily driven by improved market demand for refined petroleum products following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the easing of pandemic restrictions.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, as well as renewable fuels, mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of base oils and lubricants.
2022 vs. 2021
Before-tax income from the M&S segment increased $679 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase in 2022 was primarily driven by improved realized international marketing fuel margins and higher results from our specialty lubricants and other businesses.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on marketing fuel margins and other market factors impacting 2022 results.
2021 vs. 2020
Before-tax income from the M&S segment increased $302 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily driven by higher realized U.S. marketing fuel margins and increased equity earnings from Excel Paralubes due to improved base oil margins, partially offset by lower realized international marketing fuel margins.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Corporate overhead and other includes general and administrative expenses, technology costs, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, restructuring costs related to our business transformation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment.
2022 vs. 2021
Net interest expense decreased $46 million in 2022, compared with 2021, primarily driven by increased interest income, partially offset by increased interest expense as a result of consolidating DCP Midstream Class A Segment from August 18, 2022, forward. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding debt.
Corporate overhead and other increased $241 million in 2022, compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to restructuring costs associated with our business transformation for consulting fees, severance and an impairment related to assets held for sale, as well as higher employee related expenses. See Note 28—Segment Disclosures and Related Information, and Note 31—Restructuring, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding restructuring costs.
2021 vs. 2020
Net interest expense increased $98 million in 2021, compared with 2020, primarily driven by lower capitalized interest due to the completion of capital projects and the placement of assets into service, and higher average debt principal balances reflecting debt issuances in the second and fourth quarters of 2020, as well as costs associated with early debt retirement in 2021. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the debt repayment in 2021.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During 2022, we generated $10.8 billion in cash from operations. We used available cash to pay down $2.4 billion in debt, fund capital expenditures and investments of $2.2 billion, pay dividends on our common stock of $1.8 billion and repurchase $1.5 billion of our common stock. During 2022, cash and cash equivalents increased $3 billion to $6.1 billion.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During 2022, cash generated by operating activities was $10.8 billion, a $4.8 billion increase compared with 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings resulting from improved realized refining margins, partially offset by working capital impacts and lower distributions from equity affiliates.
During 2021, cash generated by operating activities was $6 billion, a $3.9 billion increase compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved realized refining margins, a U.S. federal income tax refund of $1.1 billion received in the second quarter of 2021, and higher cash distributions from our equity affiliates, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impact our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability, and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by margins and prices. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 90%, 84% and 76% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our worldwide refining clean product yield was 84%, 83% and 84% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates, including CPChem. Over the three years ended December 31, 2022, our operating cash flows included aggregate distributions from our equity affiliates of $6 billion, including $2.8 billion from CPChem. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these equity affiliates are not assured.

Tax Refunds
We received a U.S. federal income tax refund of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company
On June 23, 2022, we entered into a new $5 billion revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor and a scheduled maturity date of June 22, 2027. The Facility replaced our previous $5 billion revolving credit facility with Phillips 66 as the borrower and Phillips 66 Company as the guarantor. The Facility contains usual and customary covenants that are similar to the previous revolving credit facility, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. We have the option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the Facility for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either (a) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (as described in the Facility) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Facility) plus the applicable margin. The Facility also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The pricing levels for the commitment fees and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for our senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, no amount had been drawn under our revolving credit facilities.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by the Facility. Commercial paper maturities are contractually limited to 365 days. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under the program.
Phillips 66 Partners
In connection with entering into the Facility, we terminated Phillips 66 Partners’ $750 million revolving credit facility.
DCP Midstream Class A Segment
DCP LP has a credit facility under its amended credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), with a borrowing capacity of up to $1.4 billion that matures on March 18, 2027. The Credit Agreement grants DCP LP the option to increase the revolving loan commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million and to extend the term for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to requisite lender approval. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (a) an adjusted SOFR (as described in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin; or (b) the base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid based on DCP LP’s credit rating. At December 31, 2022, DCP LP had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, $10 million in letters of credit had been issued that are supported by the Credit Agreement.
DCP LP has an accounts receivable securitization facility (the Securitization Facility) that provides for up to $350 million of borrowing capacity through August 2024 at an adjusted SOFR and includes an uncommitted option to increase the total commitments under the Securitization Facility by up to an additional $400 million. Under the Securitization Facility, certain of DCP LP’s wholly owned subsidiaries sell or contribute receivables to another of DCP LP’s consolidated subsidiaries, DCP Receivables LLC (DCP Receivables), a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of the Securitization Facility. At December 31, 2022, $40 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Securitization Facility, which are secured by its accounts receivable at DCP Receivables.

Total Committed Capacity Available
At December 31, 2022, we had approximately $6.7 billion of total committed capacity available under the credit facilities described above. At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $5.7 billion of total committed capacity available under our revolving credit facilities.
Other Debt Issuances and Financings
Senior Unsecured Notes
In November 2021, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.300% senior unsecured notes due 2052. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2052 is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2022. Proceeds received from the public offering were $982 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, as well as debt issuance costs. In December 2021, Phillips 66 used the proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its $2 billion 4.300% Senior Notes due April 2022.

•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.300% Senior Notes due 2026.
The Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.62% per year, subject to adjustment. In December 2021, we used cash on hand to repay the $450 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2024 and 2026 is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2021.

Interest on the Senior Notes due 2023 is payable semiannually on April 6 and October 6 of each year, commencing on October 6, 2020. The Senior Notes due 2025 issued in June 2020 constitute a further issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025 originally issued in April 2020. The $650 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 is treated as a single class of debt securities. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 is payable semiannually on April 9 and October 9 of each year, commencing on October 9, 2020. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2030 is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2020.

Term Loan Facility
In April 2021, Phillips 66 Partners entered into a $450 million term loan agreement with a one-year term and borrowed the full amount. The term loan agreement was repaid upon maturity in April 2022 without premium or penalty.
In March 2020, we entered into a $1 billion 364-day delayed draw term loan agreement (the Facility) and borrowed $1 billion under the Facility shortly thereafter. In November 2020, we repaid $500 million of borrowings outstanding under the Facility, and the Facility was amended to extend the maturity date of the remaining $500 million to November 20, 2023. In September 2021, we repaid the outstanding borrowings of $500 million.
Phillips 66 Availability of Debt Financing
We have an A3 credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard & Poor’s. These investment grade ratings have served to lower our borrowing costs and facilitate access to a variety of lenders. We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or both rating agencies. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings could prohibit us from accessing the commercial paper market, although we would expect to be able to access funds under our liquidity facilities mentioned above.
DCP LP Availability of Debt Financing
DCP LP has a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard and Poor’s; a BBB- credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Fitch Ratings; and a Ba1 credit rating, with a positive outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service. These ratings facilitate DCP LP access to a variety of lenders. DCP LP does not have any ratings triggers on any of its corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or more rating agencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2025, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. We have a residual value guarantee associated with the operating lease agreement with a maximum potential future exposure of $514 million at December 31, 2022. We also have residual value guarantees associated with railcar and airplane leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $156 million. These leases have remaining terms of five to nine years.
Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The court later vacated the easement. Although the easement is vacated, the USACE has no plans to stop pipeline operations while it proceeds with the EIS, and the Tribe’s request for a shutdown was denied in May 2021. In June 2021, the trial court dismissed the litigation entirely. Once the EIS is completed, new litigation or challenges may be filed.
In February 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court (the Court) denied Dakota Access’ writ of certiorari requesting the Court to review the lower court’s decision to order the EIS and vacate the easement. Therefore, the requirement to prepare the EIS stands. Also in February 2022, the Tribe withdrew as a cooperating agency, causing the USACE to halt the EIS process while the USACE engaged with the Tribe on their reasons for withdrawing. The draft EIS process resumed in August 2022, and release is expected in Spring 2023.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of senior unsecured notes issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access in March 2019. On April 1, 2022, Dakota Access’ wholly owned subsidiary repaid $650 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior notes upon maturity. We funded our 25% share, or $163 million, with a capital contribution of $89 million in March 2022 and $74 million of distributions we elected not to receive from Dakota Access in the first quarter of 2022. At December 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Dakota Access’ senior unsecured notes was $1.85 billion.
In conjunction with the notes offering, Phillips 66 Partners, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, and its co-venturers in Dakota Access also provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU). Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above-mentioned ongoing litigation. At December 31, 2022, our 25% share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $467 million.
If the pipeline is required to cease operations, and should Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay ongoing expenses, we could be required to support our 25% share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $20 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU at December 31, 2022.
See Note 15—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on our guarantees.

Debt Exchange
On May 5, 2022, Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, completed offers to exchange (the Exchange Offers) all validly tendered notes of seven different series of notes issued by Phillips 66 Partners (collectively, the Old Notes), with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.5 billion, for notes issued by Phillips 66 Company (collectively, the New Notes). The New Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Phillips 66 and rank equally with Phillips 66 Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and the guarantees rank equally with Phillips 66’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Old Notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.2 billion were tendered in the Exchange Offers. The New Notes have the same interest rates, interest payment dates and maturity dates as the Old Notes. Holders that validly tendered before the end of the early participation period on April 19, 2022 (the Early Participation Date), received New Notes with an aggregate principal amount equivalent to the Old Notes, while holders that validly tendered after the Early Participation Date, but before the Expiration Date, received New Notes with an aggregate principal amount 3% less than the Old Notes. Substantially all of the Old Notes exchanged were tendered during the Early Participation Period.
Joint Venture Loans
Starting in 2020 and extending through the second quarter of 2022, we and our co-venturer provided member loans to WRB. By December 31, 2022, WRB had repaid all outstanding member loans. At December 31, 2021, our share of the outstanding member loan balance, including accrued interest, was $595 million. The need for additional loans to WRB in 2023 will depend on market conditions.
DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings Merger
On August 17, 2022, we and our co-venturer, Enbridge, agreed to merge DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings with DCP Midstream as the surviving entity. As part of the merger, we made a net cash payment of $306 million.
DCP LP Public Common Unit Acquisition Agreement
On January 5, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement with DCP LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner entities, pursuant to which one of our wholly owned subsidiaries will merge with and into DCP LP, with DCP LP surviving as a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each publicly held common unit representing a limited partner interest in DCP LP (other than the common units owned by DCP LP and DCP Midstream GP, LP) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash, without interest. The merger will increase our economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8%. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
If the merger is successfully completed, we will pay approximately $3.8 billion in cash consideration, which we expect to fund through a combination of cash generated from operating activities and debt.
The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of the general partner of DCP LP, based on the unanimous approval and recommendation of its special committee comprised entirely of independent directors after evaluation of the transaction by the special committee in consultation with independent financial and legal advisors. Concurrently with the execution of the agreement, affiliates of Phillips 66, which together own greater than a majority of the outstanding DCP LP common units, delivered their consent to approve the transaction. As a result, DCP LP has not solicited and is not soliciting approval of the transaction by any other holders of DCP LP common units.
See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger and Note 29—DCP Midstream Class A Segment, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings.
DCP LP Cash Distributions to Unitholders
DCP LP’s partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, DCP LP distributes all available cash. Since the merger on August 18, 2022, DCP LP made cash distributions of $51 million to common unitholders other than Phillips 66, $19 million to Series A preferred unitholders, $6 million to Series B preferred unitholders and $2 million to Series C preferred unitholders. See Note 29—DCP Midstream Class A Segment, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
On January 24, 2023, the board of directors of DCP Midstream GP, LLC, declared a quarterly distribution on DCP LP’s common units of $0.43 per common unit and a quarterly distribution on DCP LP’s Series B and Series C Preferred Units of $0.4922 and $0.4969 per unit, respectively. The distribution on the common units was paid on February 14, 2023, to unitholders of record on February 3, 2023. The Series B distribution will be paid on March 15, 2023, to unitholders of record on March 1, 2023. The Series C distribution will be paid on April 17, 2023, to unitholders of record on April 3, 2023.
DCP LP Preferred Units
DCP LP redeemed its Series A preferred units with an aggregate liquidation preference of $500 million in December 2022. DCP LP funded this redemption from available cash and borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization facility.
Merger with Phillips 66 Partners
On March 9, 2022, we completed a merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners. The merger resulted in the acquisition of all limited partnership interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us in exchange for 41.8 million shares of Phillips 66 common stock issued from treasury stock. Phillips 66 Partners common unitholders received 0.50 shares of Phillips 66 common stock for each outstanding Phillips 66 Partners common unit. Phillips 66 Partners’ perpetual convertible preferred units were converted into common units at a premium to the original issuance price prior to being exchanged for Phillips 66 common stock. Upon closing, Phillips 66 Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 and its common units are no longer publicly traded. See Note 30—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger transaction.
Dividends
On February 8, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.05 per common share, representing an 8% increase. The dividend is payable March 1, 2023, to holders of record at the close of business on February 21, 2023.

Share Repurchases
In March 2020, we announced that we had temporarily suspended our share repurchases to preserve liquidity in response to the global economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We resumed purchasing shares under our share repurchase program in the second quarter of 2022. On November 7, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $5 billion increase to our share repurchase program. Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $20 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock. The authorizations do not have expiration dates. Future share repurchases are expected to be funded primarily through available cash. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of common stock pursuant to these authorizations and may commence, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time. In 2022, we repurchased 16.6 million shares at an aggregate cost of $1.5 billion. Since the inception of our share repurchase program in 2012, we have repurchased 175.9 million shares at an aggregate cost of $14 billion. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.
Employee Benefit Plan Contributions
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we contributed $125 million to our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans and $23 million to our international pension plans.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, outstanding debt principal and interest obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, and asset retirement and environmental obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled with operating cash flows in the period when due. As of December 31, 2022, our purchase obligations totaled $106.5 billion, with $44.4 billion due within one year.
The majority of our purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including exchanges and futures, for the purchase of products such as crude oil and raw NGL. The products are used to supply our refineries and fractionators and optimize our supply chain. At December 31, 2022, product purchase commitments with third parties and related parties were $54.6 billion and $26.1 billion, respectively. The remaining purchase obligations mainly represent agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store products, and our net share of purchase commitments for materials and services for jointly owned facilities where we are the operator.
Debt Principal and Interest Obligations
As of December 31, 2022, our aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt was $17.2 billion, with $529 million due within one year. Our obligations for interest on the debt totaled $10.2 billion, with $776 million due within one year. See Note 14—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our outstanding debt principal and interest obligations.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
See Note 20—Leases, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our lease obligations and timing of our expected lease payments.
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations
See Note 12—Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding asset retirement and environmental obligations.

Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, was $2.5 billion, primarily for refinery upgrade projects to enhance the yield of high-value products, renewable fuels projects, improvements to the operating integrity of key processing units, and safety-related projects.
Key projects funded during the three-year period included:
•Installation of facilities to improve clean product yield at the Ponca City and Sweeny refineries, as well as the jointly owned Wood River Refinery.
•Installation of facilities to improve product value at the Lake Charles Refinery.
•Installation of facilities to produce renewable fuels at our San Francisco and Humber refineries.
Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, was primarily for investment in retail marketing joint ventures in the U.S. West Coast and Central regions; the continued acquisition, development and enhancement of retail sites in Europe; and acquisition of a commercial fleet fueling business in California, which will provide further placement opportunities for renewable diesel production to end-use customers.
Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, was primarily for information technology and facilities.
2023 Budget
Our 2023 capital budget is $2 billion, including $865 million for sustaining capital and $1.1 billion for growth capital. Approximately 50% of growth capital is expected to support lower-carbon opportunities. Our projected $2 billion capital budget excludes our portion of planned capital spending by our major joint ventures CPChem and WRB totaling $1.1 billion.
The Midstream capital budget of $639 million includes a growth capital budget of $310 million which will be directed toward enhancing our integrated NGL value chain from wellhead to market. The Midstream capital budget also includes $329 million for sustaining projects. The Midstream expected spend includes 100% of DCP LP’s sustaining capital of $150 million and $125 million of growth capital. In Refining, the total capital budget of $1.1 billion consists of $389 million for reliability, safety and environmental projects and $729 million for growth capital. Refining’s growth capital includes the continued conversion of the San Francisco Refinery into a renewable fuels facility. The M&S capital budget of $134 million reflects the continued development and enhancement of our retail network, including energy transition opportunities. The Corporate and Other capital budget is $108 million primarily for digital transformation and information technology projects.

Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. 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. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability. See Note 23—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information about income tax-related contingencies.

Environmental
We are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Among the most significant of these international and federal environmental laws and regulations are the:
•U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges into bodies of water.
•European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EU REACH), which governs production, marketing and use of chemicals and the United Kingdom’s legislation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (UK REACH), which replaced EU REACH in the United Kingdom in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT).
•U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.
•U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal of solid waste.
•U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires facilities to report toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.
•U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90), under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a discharge of crude oil into navigable waters of the United States.
•European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS), which replaced the EU ETS in the United Kingdom in 2021, following BREXIT.
These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish water quality limits. They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations. These permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the agency’s processing of the application. Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control of the applicant.
Other foreign countries and many states where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and regulations governing these same types of activities. While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of developing infrastructure and marketing and transporting products across state and international borders. For example, in California the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved amendments to the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that became effective in 2016, which require a phased reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions through 2022, affecting refineries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2017, SCAQMD required additional nitrogen oxide emissions reductions through 2025 and, on November 5, 2021, promulgated new regulations to replace the RECLAIM program with a traditional command and control regulatory regime.
The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determinable as new standards, such as air emission standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, continue to evolve. However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. Notable areas of potential impacts include air emissions compliance and remediation obligations in the United States.

An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). It requires fuel producers and importers to provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types. RINs form the mechanism used by the EPA to record compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). If an obligated party has more RINs than it needs to meet its obligation, it may sell or trade the extra RINs, or instead choose to “bank” them for use the following year. We have met the requirements to date while establishing implementation, operating and capital strategies, along with advanced technology development, to address projected future renewable volume obligation (RVO) requirements. On December 1, 2022, the EPA proposed RVO for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 compliance years, as well as RIN generation from renewable electricity utilized as a transportation fuel (eRINs). These standards increase cellulosic volumes, which reflect the EPA’s forecast for increasing eRIN volumes beginning in 2024. They also increase total advanced biofuel volumes, which reflect the EPA’s forecast for increasing eRIN volumes beginning in 2024. In addition, they increase total advanced biofuel volumes from the 5.63 billion gallons established for the 2022 compliance year to 7.43 billion gallons in 2025. If adopted, we may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products and increased program costs if not fully recovered in the market. This program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s final regulations establishing RVO requirements have been and continue to be subject to legal challenge, further creating uncertainty regarding RVO requirements.
We are required to purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the portion of our obligation under the RFS that is not fulfilled by blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we incurred expenses of $478 million, $441 million and $342 million, respectively, associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line item on our consolidated statement of operations. Our jointly owned refineries also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $437 million, $351 million and $133 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses are included in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line item on our consolidated statement of operations. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery production, blending activities, and RVO requirements.
We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with current and past operations. Such laws and regulations include CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents. Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks located at numerous previously and currently owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States. Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) for both soil and groundwater and both the EPA and many states may adopt cleanup standards for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which may have been a constituent in certain firefighting foams used or stored at or near some of our facilities.
At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions. If conditions warrant, we may be required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations. In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as “Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs typically is borne solely by us. We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the past few years. Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. As of December 31, 2021, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 25 sites within the United States. In 2022, we were notified of one potentially new site through a CERCLA Section 104(e) information request issued by the EPA, and four sites that were deemed resolved and closed, accordingly, leaving 22 unresolved sites with potential liability at December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
For the majority of Superfund sites, our potential liability will be less than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low. Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share of liability has not increased materially. Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or attain a settlement of liability. Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain the EPA or equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan. There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial condition.
We incur costs related to the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of environmental pollution. Expensed environmental costs were $728 million in 2022 and are expected to be approximately $800 million in 2023 and 2024. Capitalized environmental costs were $88 million in 2022 and are expected to be approximately $140 million and $250 million, in 2023 and 2024, respectively. These amounts do not include capital expenditures made for other purposes that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.
Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties and are not discounted (except those assumed in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis).
Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct, or once conducted, operations or at sites where our generated waste was disposed. We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the future, we may incur significant costs under both CERCLA and RCRA. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties. Therefore, it is difficult to develop reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. Examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:
•EU ETS, which is part of the European Union’s policy to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions. EU ETS impacts factories, power stations and other installations across all EU member states. As a result of the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (BREXIT), those types of entities in the United Kingdom are now subject to the UK ETS, rather than the EU ETS.
•EU Renewable Energy Directive II, which increases the EU’s energy consumption from renewable sources in the electricity, heat, and transportation sectors to 32% by 2030.
69
Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
•United Kingdom’s Renewable Fuel Obligation, which is intended to reduce the GHG emissions from fuel used in the United Kingdom transportation sector by encouraging the supply of renewable fuels.
•California’s Senate Bill No. 32, which requires reduction of California's GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 emission level by 2030, and Assembly Bill 398, which extends the California GHG emission cap and trade program through 2030. Other GHG emissions programs in the western U.S. states have been enacted or are under consideration or development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, California’s Advanced Clean Cars and Trucks Programs, California’s Carbon Neutrality by 2045 Scoping Plan, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Climate Protection Plan, and Washington's carbon reduction programs.
•United States’ Inflation Reduction Act, which contains tax inducements and other provisions that incentivize investment, development, and deployment of alternative energy sources and technologies, which is intended to accelerate the energy transition.
•The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of potential climate change.
•The EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan. The EPA commenced rulemaking in 2017 to rescind the Clean Power Plan and, in August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as its replacement. On January 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia invalidated the ACE rule and remanded the matter to the EPA, essentially restarting this rulemaking process.
•Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.
In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007. Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through 2012, and Phase III ran from 2013 through to 2020. Phase IV runs from January 1, 2021 through 2030 and sectors covered under the ETS must reduce their GHG emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels and there is agreement between the EU Member States, the European Parliament, and the EU Commission (which is pending ratification by the EU Council and European Parliament) to increase the Phase IV GHG emissions reduction to 63% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU ETS and, instead, has been under the UK ETS since 2021. Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS and assets that are subject to the UK ETS.
From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France. The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris Agreement,” which, upon certain conditions being met, entered into force on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions. In 2017, President Trump announced his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement and that withdrawal became effective on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed the “Acceptance on Behalf of the United States of America,” which allows the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement. The United States officially rejoined the Paris Agreement in February 2021, which could lead to additional GHG emission reduction requirements for sources in the United States.
In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming at the state or federal levels with respect to GHG emissions. Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in additional financial burden in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.

Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program, GHG reduction requirements or carbon taxes could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation. Such laws and regulations could also increase demand for less carbon intensive energy sources.
An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act. The program had been limited to certain stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 was expanded to include emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs. The ultimate impact on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•The nature of the legislation or regulation, such as a cap and trade system or a tax on emissions.
•The GHG reductions required.
•The price and availability of offsets.
•The demand for, and amount and allocation of allowances.
•Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•Any potential significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased severe weather events, changes in sea levels and changes in temperature.
•Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions, and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment, and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation throughout our operations.
In February 2022, we announced our intention to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity related to our operations by 50% of 2019 levels by the year 2050. This new target builds upon our previously announced 2030 GHG emissions intensity targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions from our energy products by 15% compared to 2019 levels.
In addition to the disclosures above, we have issued our 2022 Sustainability Report that is accessible on our website and provides more detailed information on our Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance initiatives, including detailed information on environmental metrics.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for descriptions of our major accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The following discussion of critical accounting estimates addresses accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change.
Business Combination
In accounting for a business combination, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests are recorded based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess or shortfall of the purchase price when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain, respectively. A significant amount of judgment is made in estimating the individual fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, noncontrolling interests and other assets and liabilities. We use available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party specialists in the valuation process as necessary.
The fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate; the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates; and the market approach which uses market data and adjusts for entity specific differences. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the estimated results used to determine fair value.
See Note 4—Business Combination, and Note 18—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger of DCP Midstream and Gray Oak Holdings and fair value measurements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future expected cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future before-tax cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple for similar assets; historical market transactions including similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant assumptions when necessary; or replacement cost adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments, including future volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of review.

Investments in nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment when there are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the investment’s carrying amount. When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value. When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery. When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, if appropriate. Different assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Refining
Our realized refining margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of petroleum products manufactured at our refineries and (b) costs of feedstocks, primarily crude oil, used to produce the petroleum products. The realized refining margins are adjusted to include our proportional share of our joint venture refineries’ realized margins, as well as to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized refining margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by total refinery processed inputs (primarily crude oil) measured on a barrel basis, including our share of inputs processed by our joint venture refineries. Our realized refining margin per barrel is intended to be comparable with industry refining margins, which are known as “crack spreads.” As discussed in “Executive Overview and Business Environment—Business Environment,” industry crack spreads measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. We believe realized refining margin per barrel calculated on a similar basis as industry crack spreads provides a useful measure of how well we performed relative to benchmark industry refining margins.
The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized refining margin per barrel is the Refining segment’s “income (loss) before income taxes per barrel.” Realized refining margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in a manufacturer’s gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income (loss) before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. It also includes our proportional share of joint venture refineries’ realized refining margins and excludes special items. Because realized refining margin per barrel is calculated in this manner, and because realized refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income (loss) before income taxes to realized refining margins:

Marketing
Our realized marketing fuel margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of fuels in our M&S segment and (b) costs of those fuels. The realized marketing fuel margins are adjusted to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized marketing fuel margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by sales volumes measured on a barrel basis. We believe realized marketing fuel margin per barrel demonstrates the value uplift our marketing operations provide by optimizing the placement and ultimate sale of our refineries’ fuel production.
Within the M&S segment, the GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized marketing fuel margin per barrel is the marketing business’ “income before income taxes per barrel.” Realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. Because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes these items, and because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool.

FY 2021 10-K MD&A
SEC filing source: 0001534701-22-000078.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the company’s analysis of its financial performance and financial condition, and of significant trends that may affect future performance. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The terms “earnings” and “loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to net income (loss) attributable to Phillips 66. The terms “results,” “before-tax income” or “before-tax loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to income (loss) before income taxes.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is an energy manufacturing and logistics company with midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and specialties businesses. At December 31, 2021, we had total assets of $55.6 billion.
Executive Overview
We reported earnings of $1.3 billion and generated $6.0 billion in cash from operating activities for the full year of 2021. During 2021, we used available cash to fund capital expenditures and investments of $1.9 billion, pay dividends on our common stock of $1.6 billion, and pay down $1.5 billion in debt. We ended 2021 with $3.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $5.7 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.
Our reported earnings for 2021 continued to reflect the ongoing impacts of the disruption to global economic activities caused by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, primarily on our Refining segment. However, through 2021 global refined petroleum product demand steadily recovered due to the easing of pandemic restrictions and the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Consequently, margins and utilization for our Refining segment, margins and sales volumes for our Marketing and Specialities (M&S) segment, and throughput volumes for our Transportation business improved. In addition, equity earnings from our Chemicals segment increased significantly due to higher margins driven by strong demand and tight product supply. However, as uncertainty remains regarding the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the global economy, we will continue to be disciplined in our allocation of capital and monitor the performance of our portfolio.
In 2021, we progressed strategic initiatives to position Phillips 66 for a lower-carbon future as a part of our commitment to play an important role in addressing climate change. In September 2021, we announced a set of company-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity reduction targets that we consider to be impactful, attainable and measurable. By 2030, we expect to reduce GHG emission intensity by 30% for Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our operations and by 15% for Scope 3 emissions from our energy products, below 2019 levels. Also in September 2021, we acquired a 16% interest in NOVONIX Limited (NOVONIX), a company that develops technology and supplies materials for lithium-ion batteries.
In October 2021, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Phillips 66 Partners to acquire all of the limited partner interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us on the closing date of the transaction. The agreement provides for an all-stock transaction in which each outstanding Phillips 66 Partners common unitholder would receive 0.50 shares of Phillips 66 common stock for each Phillips 66 Partners common unit. Phillips 66 Partners’ perpetual convertible preferred units would be converted into common units at a premium to the original issuance price prior to exchange for Phillips 66 common stock. This merger is expected to close in March 2022, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon closing, Phillips 66 Partners will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 and will no longer be a publicly traded partnership. See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the pending merger transaction.

We continue to focus on the following strategic priorities:
•Operating Excellence. Our commitment to operating excellence guides everything we do. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of everyone who has a role in our operations and the communities in which we operate. Continuous improvement in safety, environmental stewardship, reliability and cost efficiency is a fundamental requirement for our company and employees. We employ rigorous training and audit programs to drive ongoing improvement in both personal and process safety as we strive for zero incidents. In 2021, we achieved a 0.12 total recordable rate. Since we cannot control commodity prices, controlling operating expenses and overhead costs, within the context of our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, is a high priority. Senior management actively monitors these costs and assesses opportunities for permanent cost reductions. We are committed to protecting the environment and strive to reduce our environmental footprint throughout our operations. Optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations enables us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. During 2021, our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 84% and our worldwide refining clean product yield was 83%.
•Growth. A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we invest in projects that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy primarily focuses on investing in returns-focused growth opportunities in the Midstream and Chemicals segments, as well as our investments in renewable fuels projects to advance a lower-carbon future. In 2022, we have budgeted $426 million in growth capital for our Midstream segment, which includes construction completion of Frac 4 at the Sweeny Hub. In Chemicals, our share of expected self-funded growth capital spending by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) is $502 million. CPChem plans to use its growth capital to fund expansion of its normal alpha olefins production, optimization and debottleneck opportunities in the olefins and polyolefins chains, as well as continuing development of petrochemicals projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Qatar. In Refining, we have budgeted $408 million of growth capital, primarily for the reconfiguration of the San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, to a renewable fuels production facility, as part of the Rodeo Renewed project.
•Returns. We plan to enhance Refining returns by increasing throughput of advantaged feedstocks, improving yields, optimizing our portfolio, and remaining committed to operating excellence. For 2022, our M&S segment will continue to develop and enhance our retail network, including energy transition opportunities.
•Distributions. We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we increased our quarterly dividend by 2% to $0.92 per common share. Regular dividends demonstrate the confidence our Board of Directors and management have in our capital structure and operations’ capability to generate free cash flow throughout the business cycle. We suspended our share repurchase program in March 2020 to preserve liquidity. As operating cash flows improve further, we will prioritize shareholder returns and debt repayment.
•High-Performing Organization. We strive to attract, develop and retain individuals with the knowledge and skills to implement our business strategy and who support our values and culture. Throughout the company, we focus on promoting an inclusive workplace that enables our diverse workforce to innovate, create value and deliver extraordinary performance. We also focus on getting results in the right way and embracing our values as a common bond, and we believe success is both what we do and how we do it. We encourage collaboration throughout our company, while valuing differences, respecting diversity, and creating a great place to work. We foster an environment of learning and development through structured programs focused on enhancing functional and technical skills where employees are engaged in our business and committed to their own, as well as the company’s, success.

Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL prices. The Midstream segment also includes our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream. During 2021, NGL prices increased significantly, compared with 2020, due to strong demand as economic activities gradually recovered following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the easing of pandemic restrictions.
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in CPChem. The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. Compared with 2020, the benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin increased significantly in 2021, due to continued strong demand and tight supply.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average of $67.96 per barrel during 2021, compared with an average of $39.31 per barrel in 2020. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. Worldwide market crack spreads increased to an average of $17.09 per barrel during 2021, compared with an average of $8.33 per barrel in 2020. The increases in crude oil prices and market crack spreads were primarily driven by a significant increase in demand for refined petroleum products, as economic activities gradually recovered following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the easing of pandemic restrictions, as well as tightening supply. In 2021, renewable identification number (RIN) prices increased significantly, compared with 2020.
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins, and sales volumes of our refined petroleum and other specialty products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined petroleum products in the regions and countries where we operate. In general, a downward trend of spot prices has a favorable impact on marketing fuel margins, while an upward trend of spot prices has an unfavorable impact on marketing fuel margins. The global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in reduced demand for refined petroleum and specialty products since March 2020. Following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 and the easing of pandemic restrictions, demand for refined petroleum and specialty products improved in 2021, compared with 2020.

2021 vs. 2020
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1,317 million, compared with a net loss attributable to Phillips 66 of $3,975 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improvement was primarily due to lower impairments, improved realized refining margins and higher equity earnings from CPChem, partially offset by income tax impacts from improved results.
2020 vs. 2019
Net loss attributable to Phillips 66 for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $3,975 million, compared with net income attributable to Phillips 66 of $3,076 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to:
•Lower realized refining margins and decreased refinery production.
•A goodwill impairment in our Refining segment.
•A long-lived asset impairment associated with our plan to reconfigure the San Francisco Refinery into a renewable fuels production facility, which impacted our Refining and Midstream segments.
•Higher impairments of equity investments in our Midstream segment.
These decreases were partially offset by an income tax benefit recognized in 2020, compared with income tax expense recognized in 2019.

Statement of Operations Analysis
2021 vs. 2020
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products increased 74% and 77%, respectively, in 2021. These increases were mainly due to higher prices for refined petroleum products, crude oil and NGL, as well as increased volumes for refined petroleum products and crude oil.
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $1,713 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher equity earnings from CPChem mainly driven by increased margins, WRB Refining LP (WRB) resulting from improved realized refining margins and higher refinery production, and Excel Paralubes LLC (Excel) attributable to higher base oil margins. See Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information on CPChem.
Net gain on dispositions decreased 83% in 2021, mainly reflecting a before-tax gain of $84 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020 associated with a co-venturer’s acquisition of an ownership interest in the consolidated holding company that owns an interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC. See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
Other income increased $388 million in 2021, primarily driven by an unrealized gain of $365 million related to the change in fair value of our investment in NOVONIX, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2021.
Operating expenses increased 13% in 2021, mainly attributable to higher utility costs driven by increased commodity prices, higher employee-related expenses, and increased maintenance and repair costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13% in 2021, primarily driven by higher selling expenses due to rising refined petroleum product prices and demand, increased employee-related expenses, and a benefit received from a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2020.
Depreciation and amortization increased 15% in 2021, mainly due to asset retirements related to the shutdown of our Alliance Refinery in connection with plans to convert it to a terminal. See Note 7—Properties, Plants and Equipment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding asset retirements related to our Alliance Refinery.
Impairments decreased 65% in 2021. See Note 9—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding impairments.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased 12% in 2021, primarily driven by tax credits received from renewable diesel blending activity at our San Francisco Refinery in 2021, and lower property and franchise taxes.
Interest and debt expense increased 16% in 2021, primarily driven by lower capitalized interest due to the completion of capital projects and the placement of assets into service, as well as higher average debt principal balances resulting from new debt issuances in the second and fourth quarters of 2020.
We had income tax expense of $146 million in 2021, compared with an income tax benefit of $1,250 million in 2020, primarily due to before-tax income in 2021 versus a before-tax loss in 2020. See Note 21—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.

2020 vs. 2019
Sales and other operating revenues and purchased crude oil and products both decreased 40% in 2020. The decreases were mainly due to lower prices and volumes for refined petroleum products and crude oil, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 44% in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized refining margins and decreased refinery production at WRB, and lower margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes, at CPChem. See Chemicals segment analysis in the “Segment Results” section for additional information on CPChem.
Net gain on dispositions increased $88 million in 2020. The increase was mainly due to a gain of $84 million associated with a co-venturer’s prior-year acquisition of a 35% interest in Phillips 66 Partners’ consolidated holding company that owns an interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC. See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
Operating expenses decreased 10% in 2020, primarily driven by our company-wide cost reduction initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, lower utility costs, and decreased refinery turnaround activities.
Impairments increased $3,391 million in 2020. See Note 9—Impairments, and Note 16—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information associated with impairments.
We had an income tax benefit of $1,250 million in 2020, compared with income tax expense of $801 million in 2019, primarily due to a before-tax loss in 2020 versus before-tax income in 2019. See Note 21—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information regarding our income taxes.

The Midstream segment provides crude oil and refined petroleum product transportation, terminaling and processing services, as well as natural gas and NGL transportation, storage, fractionation, processing and marketing services, mainly in the United States. This segment includes our MLP, Phillips 66 Partners, our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream, which includes the operations of its MLP, DCP Partners, and our 16% investment in NOVONIX.
2021 vs. 2020
Results from our Midstream segment increased $1,619 million in 2021, compared with 2020.
Results from our Transportation business increased $170 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved earnings from our equity affiliates, lower asset impairments, and increased pipeline volumes and tariffs. These increases were partially offset by a before-tax gain of $84 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020 associated with a co-venturer’s acquisition of an ownership interest in the consolidated holding company that owns an interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC, and increased depreciation and amortization expense from asset retirements related to the shutdown of the Alliance Refinery in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Results from our NGL and Other business increased $306 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily driven by a $370 million increase in the value of our investment in NOVONIX, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher utility costs due to increased natural gas prices.

Results from our investment in DCP Midstream increased $1,143 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase in 2021 reflects a $1,161 million before-tax impairment of our investment in DCP Midstream recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
See Note 9—Impairments, and Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the impairments and the $84 million before-tax gain, respectively.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting 2021 results.
2020 vs. 2019
Midstream’s results decreased $693 million in 2020, compared with 2019.
Results from our Transportation business decreased $438 million in 2020, compared with 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to before-tax impairments of $300 million, decreased equity earnings, lower pipeline and terminal throughput volumes, and higher operating costs, partially offset by an $84 million before-tax gain recognized in the second quarter of 2020 associated with the Gray Oak Pipeline joint venture.
The $300 million before-tax impairments consisted of a $120 million impairment of the pipeline and terminal assets associated with the planned reconfiguration of our San Francisco Refinery into a renewable fuels production facility, a $96 million impairment of Phillips 66 Partners’ equity investments in two crude oil logistics joint ventures, and an $84 million impairment of our equity investment in the canceled Red Oak Pipeline project.
See Note 9—Impairments, and Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the impairments and the $84 million before-tax gain, respectively.
Results from our NGL and Other business decreased $81 million in 2020, compared with 2019. The decrease was mainly due to lower results from our trading activities and decreased margins, partially offset by higher export cargos and increased fractionation volumes from the startup of Frac 2 and Frac 3 in late 2020, as well as the startup of a new isomerization unit at our Lake Charles Refinery in the second half of 2019.
Results from our investment in DCP Midstream decreased $174 million in 2020, compared with 2019. The decrease was primarily due to higher impairment charges, partially offset by the recognition of a larger benefit to our equity earnings from the amortization of the basis difference associated with the impairments and DCP Midstream’s cost reduction initiatives in response to the challenging business environment. See Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, and Note 9—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the impairments and the associated basis difference amortization related to our investment in DCP Midstream.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals. We structure our reporting of CPChem’s operations around two primary business lines: Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) and Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics (SA&S). The O&P business line produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. The SA&S business line manufactures and markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene. SA&S also manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
2021 vs. 2020
Before-tax income from the Chemicals segment increased $1,209 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved margins driven by increased sale prices reflecting strong demand and tight supply, partially offset by higher utility, turnaround, maintenance and repair costs.
See the “Executive Overview and Business Environment” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 2021 results.
2020 vs. 2019
Before-tax income from the Chemicals segment decreased $244 million in 2020, compared with 2019. The decrease was mainly due to lower margins and decreased earnings from CPChem’s equity affiliates, partially offset by higher sales volumes and a favorable impact from lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments of inventories valued on the last-in-first-out (LIFO) basis attributable to petrochemical product price recovery in 2020.

The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels, as well as renewable fuels, at 12 refineries in the United States and Europe. Our Alliance Refinery sustained significant impacts from Hurricane Ida in August 2021, and in the fourth quarter of 2021, we announced the shutdown of the refinery in connection with plans to convert it to a terminal.
2021 vs. 2020
Results from the Refining segment increased $3,606 million in 2021, compared with 2020. The improved results in 2021 were primarily due to higher realized refining margins and lower asset impairments, partially offset by increased utility expenses and higher costs related to the shutdown of our Alliance Refinery. The improved realized refining margins in 2021 were mainly attributable to increased market crack spreads, partially offset by higher RIN costs, lower clean product differentials and decreased secondary products margins.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 84% and 76% in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in 2021 was primarily driven by improved market demand for refined petroleum products following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the easing of pandemic restrictions.
See Note 9—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding impairments recorded in our Refining segment during 2021 and 2020.

Index to Financial Statements
2020 vs. 2019
Results from the Refining segment decreased $8,141 million in 2020, compared with 2019. The decreased results in 2020 were due to:
•Lower realized refining margins and decreased refinery production. A sharp decline in demand for refined petroleum products resulting from global economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to lower market crack spreads and reduced refinery production in 2020. In addition, hurricane impacts contributed to the lower refinery production in the Gulf Coast region in 2020.
•A before-tax long-lived asset impairment of $910 million in the third quarter of 2020 associated with our plan to reconfigure the San Francisco Refinery into a renewable fuels production facility.
•A before-tax goodwill impairment of $1,845 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 76% and 94% in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The lower utilization rate in 2020 was primarily due to reduced refining runs driven by lower demand for refined petroleum products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as hurricane impacts in the Gulf Coast region.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During 2021, we generated $6.0 billion in cash from operations. We used available cash to fund capital expenditures and investments of $1.9 billion, pay dividends on our common stock of $1.6 billion, pay down $1.5 billion in debt, and fund an additional member loan to an equity affiliate of $310 million. During 2021, cash and cash equivalents increased $633 million to $3.1 billion.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During 2021, cash generated by operating activities was $6.0 billion, a $3.9 billion increase compared with 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved realized refining margins, a U.S. federal income tax refund of $1.1 billion received in the second quarter of 2021, and higher cash distributions from our equity affiliates, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
During 2020, cash generated by operating activities was $2.1 billion, a 56% decrease compared with 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized refining margins, driven by the global economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by lower cash income taxes paid.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impact our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability, and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by margins and prices. Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 84%, 76% and 94% in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our worldwide refining clean product yield was 83%, 84% and 84% in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates, including CPChem. Over the three years ended December 31, 2021, our operating cash flows included aggregate distributions from our equity affiliates of $6,285 million, including $3,101 million from CPChem. We cannot control the amount or timing of future distributions from equity affiliates; therefore, future distributions are not assured.

Tax Refunds
We received a U.S. federal income tax refund of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 has a $5 billion revolving credit facility which may be used for direct bank borrowings, as support for issuances of letters of credit, and as support for our commercial paper program. We have an option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the facility for up to two additional one-year terms after its July 30, 2024, maturity date, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. The facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions and contains covenants that are usual and customary for an agreement of this type, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The facility has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; and violation of covenants. Outstanding borrowings under the facility bear interest, at our option, at either: (a) the Eurodollar rate in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the facility) plus the applicable margin. The facility also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The pricing levels for the commitment fees and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for Phillips 66’s senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. Phillips 66 may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, no amount had been drawn under the facility.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by our revolving credit facility. Commercial paper maturities are contractually limited to 365 days. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, no borrowings were outstanding under the program.
Phillips 66 Partners has a $750 million revolving credit facility which may be used for direct bank borrowings and as support for issuances of letters of credit. Phillips 66 Partners has an option to increase the overall capacity to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions. Phillips 66 Partners also has the option to extend the facility for two additional one-year terms after its July 30, 2024, maturity date, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. The facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions and contains covenants that are usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The facility has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; and violation of covenants. Outstanding revolving borrowings under the facility bear interest, at Phillips 66 Partners’ option, at either: (a) the Eurodollar rate in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the facility) plus the applicable margin. The facility also provides for customary fees, including commitment fees. The pricing levels for the commitment fees and interest-rate margins are determined based on Phillips 66 Partners’ credit ratings in effect from time to time. Borrowings under this facility may be short-term or long-term in duration, and Phillips 66 Partners may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. At December 31, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under this facility, compared with borrowings of $415 million at December 31, 2020. At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, $1 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by this facility.
We had approximately $5.7 billion and $5.3 billion of total committed capacity available under our revolving credit facilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Debt Issuances and Financings
Senior Unsecured Notes
In November 2021, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.300% senior unsecured notes due 2052. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2052 is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2022. Proceeds received from the public offering were $982 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, as well as debt issuance costs. In December 2021, Phillips 66 used the proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its $2 billion 4.300% Senior Notes due April 2022.
In November 2020, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of:
•$450 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024.
•$800 million aggregate principal amount of 0.900% Senior Notes due 2024.
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.300% Senior Notes due 2026.
The Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.62% per year, subject to adjustment. In December 2021, we used cash on hand to repay the $450 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2024 and 2026 is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2021. Proceeds received from the public offering of senior unsecured notes in November 2020 were $1.74 billion, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, as well as debt issuance costs.
In June 2020, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of:
•$150 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2025.
•$850 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150% Senior Notes due 2030.
In April 2020, Phillips 66 closed its public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of:
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% Senior Notes due 2023.
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2025.
Interest on the Senior Notes due 2023 is payable semiannually on April 6 and October 6 of each year, commencing on October 6, 2020. The Senior Notes due 2025 issued in June 2020 constitute a further issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025 originally issued in April 2020. The $650 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 is treated as a single class of debt securities. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 is payable semiannually on April 9 and October 9 of each year, commencing on October 9, 2020. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2030 is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2020. Proceeds received from the public offerings of senior unsecured notes in June and April of 2020 were $1,008 million exclusive of accrued interest received, and $993 million, respectively, net of underwriters’ discounts or premiums and commissions, as well as debt issuance costs.
Term Loan Facility
In March 2020, we entered into a $1 billion 364-day delayed draw term loan agreement (the Facility) and borrowed $1 billion under the Facility shortly thereafter. In November 2020, we repaid $500 million of borrowings outstanding under the Facility, and the Facility was amended to extend the maturity date of the remaining $500 million to November 20, 2023. In September 2021, we repaid the outstanding borrowings of $500 million.

Availability of Debt Financing
We have an A3 credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Moody’s Investors Service and a BBB+ credit rating, with a stable outlook, from Standard & Poor’s. In the fourth quarter of 2021, both rating agencies updated their outlooks on our credit ratings from negative to stable. These investment grade ratings have served to lower our borrowing costs and facilitate access to a variety of lenders. We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a rating downgrade by one or both rating agencies. Failure to maintain investment grade ratings could prohibit us from accessing the commercial paper market, although we would expect to be able to access funds under our liquidity facilities mentioned above.
Phillips 66 Partners’ Debt and Equity Financings
In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners, a publicly traded MLP, which owns and operates primarily fee-based midstream assets. At December 31, 2021, we owned 170 million Phillips 66 Partners common units, representing a 74% limited partner interest, while the public owned a 26% limited partner interest and 13.5 million perpetual convertible preferred units. We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners as a variable interest entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this consolidation, the public common and preferred unitholders’ interests in Phillips 66 Partners are reflected as noncontrolling interests of $2,169 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021.
During the three years ended December 31, 2021, Phillips 66 Partners raised proceeds, primarily used for its capital spending and investments, from the following third-party debt and equity offerings:
•In April 2021, Phillips 66 Partners entered into a $450 million term loan agreement and borrowed the full amount. Proceeds from this term loan were primarily used to repay the outstanding borrowings under its $750 million revolving credit facility.
•In September 2019, Phillips 66 Partners received net proceeds of $892 million from the issuance of $300 million of 2.450% Senior Notes due December 2024 and $600 million of 3.150% Senior Notes due December 2029.
•In March 2019, Phillips 66 Partners entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $400 million due March 20, 2020. Phillips 66 Partners borrowed an aggregate amount of $400 million under the facility during the first half of 2019, which was repaid in full in September 2019.
•Phillips 66 Partners has authorized an aggregate of $750 million under three $250 million continuous offerings of common units, or at-the-market (ATM) programs. Phillips 66 Partners completed the first two programs in June 2018 and December 2019, respectively. For the three years ended December 31, 2021, net proceeds of $175 million have been received under these programs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2025, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. We have a residual value guarantee associated with the operating lease agreement with a maximum potential future exposure of $514 million at December 31, 2021. We also have residual value guarantees associated with railcar and airplane leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $221 million. These leases have remaining terms of up to ten years.
Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota and later vacated the easement. Although the easement has been vacated, the USACE has indicated that it will not take action to stop pipeline operations while it proceeds with the EIS, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. In May 2021, the court denied a request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared and, in June 2021, dismissed the litigation. It is possible that the litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. In September 2021, Dakota Access filed a writ of certiorari, requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to review the lower court’s judgment that ordered the EIS and vacated the easement.
In March 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access closed an offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of:
•$650 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022.
•$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.900% Senior Notes due 2024.
•$850 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2029.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of the notes. In addition, Phillips 66 Partners and its co-venturers in Dakota Access provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering. Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above mentioned ongoing litigation. Contributions may be required if Dakota Access determines that the issues included in any such final judgment cannot be remediated and Dakota Access has or is projected to have insufficient funds to satisfy repayment of the notes. If Dakota Access undertakes remediation to cure issues raised in a final judgment, contributions may be required if any series of the notes become due, whether by acceleration or at maturity, during such time, to the extent Dakota Access has or is projected to have insufficient funds to pay such amounts. At December 31, 2021, Phillips 66 Partners’ share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $631 million.
If the pipeline is required to cease operations, and should Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay ongoing expenses, Phillips 66 Partners also could be required to support its share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $25 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU.

Capital Requirements
Capital Expenditures and Investments
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Spending” section below.
Debt Financing
Our debt balance at December 31, 2021, was $14.4 billion and our total debt-to-capital ratio was 40%. In 2021, we paid down $1.5 billion in debt and will continue to prioritize debt reduction in 2022. As our operating cash flows improve further, we expect to reduce our debt to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels over the next couple of years.
See Note 12—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for our annual debt maturities over the next five years and more information on debt repayments.
Joint Venture Loans
During 2020 and 2021, we and our co-venturer provided member loans to WRB. At December 31, 2021, our share of the outstanding member loan balance, including accrued interest, was $595 million. The need for additional loans to WRB in 2022, as well as WRB’s repayment schedule, will depend on market conditions.
Dividends
On February 9, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.92 per common share, payable March 1, 2022, to holders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2022. We expect that our Board of Directors will continue to declare a competitive and growing dividend in 2022.
Share Repurchases
Since July 2012, our board of directors has authorized an aggregate of $15 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock. The authorizations do not have expiration dates. The share repurchases are expected to be funded primarily through available cash. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of common stock pursuant to these authorizations and may commence, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time. Since the inception of our share repurchase program in 2012, we have repurchased 159 million shares at an aggregate cost of $12.5 billion. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares. We suspended our share repurchase program in March 2020 to preserve liquidity. As operating cash flows improve further, we will prioritize shareholder returns and debt repayment.
Pending Merger with Phillips 66 Partners
On October 26, 2021, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Phillips 66 Partners to acquire all of the limited partner interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us on the closing date of the transaction. The agreement provides for an all-stock transaction in which each outstanding Phillips 66 Partners common unitholder would receive 0.50 shares of Phillips 66 common stock for each Phillips 66 Partners common unit. Phillips 66 Partners’ perpetual convertible preferred units would be converted into common units at a premium to the original issuance price prior to exchange for Phillips 66 common stock. This merger is expected to close in March 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
Based on the closing market prices of Phillips 66 common stock and Phillips 66 Partners common units on December 31, 2021, we would issue approximately 44 million shares of our common stock with a value of approximately $3.2 billion on the closing date of this transaction. The number of shares of common stock we will issue and the value of those shares are subject to change until the merger is closed.
See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the pending merger.

Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of purchase obligations, outstanding debt principal and interest obligations, operating and finance lease obligations, and asset retirement and environmental obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled with operating cash flows in the period when due. As of December 31, 2021, our purchase obligations totaled $113.9 billion, with $43.0 billion due within one year.
The majority of our purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including exchanges and futures, for the purchase of products such as crude oil and raw NGL. The products are used to supply our refineries and fractionators and optimize our supply chain. At December 31, 2021, product purchase commitments with third parties and related parties were $44.8 billion and $51.3 billion, respectively. The remaining purchase obligations mainly represent agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store products, and our net share of purchase commitments for materials and services for jointly owned facilities where we are the operator.
Debt Principal and Interest Obligations
As of December 31, 2021, our aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt was $14.3 billion, with $1.5 billion due within one year. Our obligations for interest on the debt totaled $7.5 billion, with $513 million due within one year. See Note 12—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding our outstanding debt principal and interest obligations.
Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
See Note 18—Leases, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our lease obligations and timing of our expected lease payments.
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations

•Spending associated with other return, reliability, and maintenance projects in our Transportation and NGL businesses.
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, DCP Midstream’s self-funded capital expenditures and investments were $1.3 billion on a 100% basis. Capital spending during this period was primarily for expansion projects and maintenance capital expenditures for existing assets. Expansion projects included construction of the Latham II offload facilities, the Cheyenne Connector, and the O’Connor 2 plant, as well as investments in the Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Gulf Coast Express pipeline joint ventures.
Chemicals
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, CPChem had a self-funded capital program that totaled $2.1 billion on a 100% basis. Capital spending was primarily for the development of petrochemical projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the Middle East, as well as sustaining, debottlenecking and optimization projects on existing assets.
Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, was $2.6 billion, primarily for refinery upgrade projects to enhance the yield of high-value products, renewable diesel projects, improvements to the operating integrity of key processing units, and safety-related projects.
Key projects completed during the three-year period included:
•Installation of facilities to improve product value at our Ponca City Refinery and facilities to provide flexibility to produce renewable diesel at our San Francisco Refinery.
•Installation of facilities to improve clean product yield at the Ponca City and Lake Charles refineries, as well as the jointly owned Borger Refinery.

2022 Budget
Our 2022 capital budget is $1.9 billion, including $992 million for sustaining capital and $916 million for growth capital. Approximately 45% of growth capital supports lower-carbon opportunities. Our projected $1.9 billion capital budget excludes our portion of planned capital spending by our major joint ventures CPChem, WRB and DCP Midstream totaling $1.1 billion.
The Midstream capital budget of $703 million includes a growth capital budget of $426 million which will be directed toward completing construction of Sweeny Frac 4, repayment of Phillips 66 Partners’ 25% share of Dakota Access’ debt due in 2022, and investment opportunities to advance our lower-carbon efforts. The Midstream capital budget also includes $277 million for sustaining projects. In Refining, the total capital budget of $896 million consists of $488 million for reliability, safety and environmental projects and $408 million of growth capital primarily for the reconfiguration of our San Francisco Refinery as part of the Rodeo Renewed project. The M&S capital budget of $144 million reflects the continued development and enhancement of our retail network, including energy transition opportunities. The Corporate and Other capital budget is $165 million primarily for digital transformation projects.
Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. 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. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability. See Note 21—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information about income tax-related contingencies.

Environmental
We are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Among the most significant of these international and federal environmental laws and regulations are the:
•U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges into water bodies.
•European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), which governs production, marketing and use of chemicals.
•U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.
•U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal of solid waste.
•U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires facilities to report toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.
•U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90), under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a discharge of crude oil into navigable waters of the United States.
•European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS), which replaced the EU ETS in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2021, but the United Kingdom had the obligation and retained the ability to enforce the EU ETS obligations until April 30, 2021.
These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish water quality limits. They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations. These permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the agency’s processing of the application. Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control of the applicant.
Other foreign countries and many states where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and regulations governing these same types of activities. While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of developing infrastructure and marketing and transporting products across state and international borders. For example, in California the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved amendments to the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that became effective in 2016, which require a phased reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions through 2022, affecting refineries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2017, SCAQMD required additional nitrogen dioxide emissions reductions through 2025 and, on November 5, 2021, promulgated new regulations to replace the RECLAIM program with a traditional command and control regulatory regime.
The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determinable as new standards, such as air emission standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, continue to evolve. However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. Notable areas of potential impacts include air emissions compliance and remediation obligations in the United States.

An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). It requires fuel producers and importers to provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types. RINs form the mechanism used by the EPA to record compliance with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). If an obligated party has more RINs than it needs to meet its obligation, it may sell or trade the extra RINs, or instead choose to “bank” them for use the following year. We have met the requirements to date while establishing implementation, operating and capital strategies, along with advanced technology development, to address projected future renewable volume obligation (RVO) requirements. On December 7, 2021, the EPA proposed RVO for the 2021 and 2022 compliance years, which essentially holds the 2021 RVO to actual volumes of biofuel consumption, while increasing the volumes in 2022. The EPA also re-proposed the compliance year 2020 RVO, also holding them to actual volumes. It is uncertain how various future RVO requirements contained in EISA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, may be implemented and what their full impact may be on our operations. Additionally, we may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to the regulatory program as currently promulgated. This program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s final regulations establishing RVO requirements have been and continue to be subject to legal challenge, further creating uncertainty regarding RVO requirements. Compliance with the regulation has been further complicated as the market for RINs has been the subject of fraudulent third-party activity, and it is possible that some RINs that we have purchased may be determined to be invalid. Should that occur, we could incur costs to replace those fraudulent RINs. Although the cost for replacing any fraudulently marketed RINs is not reasonably estimable at this time, we would not expect such costs to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
We are required to purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the portion of our obligation under the RFS that is not fulfilled by blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we incurred expenses of $441 million, $342 million and $111 million, respectively, associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line item on our consolidated statement of operations. Our jointly owned refineries also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $351 million, $133 million and $74 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These expenses are included in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line item on our consolidated statement of operations. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery production, blending activities, and RVO requirements.
We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with current and past operations. Such laws and regulations include CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents. Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks located at numerous previously and currently owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States. Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) for both soil and groundwater and both the EPA and many states may adopt cleanup standards for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which may have been a constituent in certain firefighting foams used or stored at or near some of our facilities.
At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions. If conditions warrant, we may be required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations. In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as “Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs typically is borne solely by us. We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the past few years. Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. As of December 31, 2020, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 25 sites within the United States. During 2021, there were no new sites for which we received notice of potential liability nor were any existing sites deemed resolved and closed, leaving 25 unresolved sites with potential liability at December 31, 2021.

For the majority of Superfund sites, our potential liability will be less than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low. Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share of liability has not increased materially. Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or attain a settlement of liability. Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain the EPA or equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan. There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial condition.
We incur costs related to the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of environmental pollution. Expensed environmental costs were $726 million in 2021 and are expected to be approximately $725 million and $775 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Capitalized environmental costs were $96 million in 2021 and are expected to be approximately $115 million and $165 million, in 2022 and 2023, respectively. These amounts do not include capital expenditures made for other purposes that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.
Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties and are not discounted (except those assumed in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis).
Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct, or once conducted, operations or at sites where our generated waste was disposed. We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the future, we may incur significant costs under both CERCLA and RCRA. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties. Therefore, it is difficult to develop reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on GHG emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. Examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:
•EU ETS, which is part of the European Union’s policy to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions. EU ETS impacts factories, power stations and other installations across all EU member states. As a result of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT), those types of entities in the United Kingdom became subject to the UK ETS, rather than the EU ETS, after the EU ETS 2020 scheme year ended on April 30, 2021.

•California’s Senate Bill No. 32, which requires reduction of California's GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 emission level by 2030, and Assembly Bill 398, which extends the California GHG emission cap and trade program through 2030. Other GHG emissions programs in the western U.S. states have been enacted or are under consideration or development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Climate Protection Plan, and Washington's carbon reduction programs.
•The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of potential climate change.
•The EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan. The EPA commenced rulemaking in 2017 to rescind the Clean Power Plan and, in August 2018, the EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as its replacement. On January 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia invalidated the ACE rule and remanded the matter to the EPA, essentially restarting this rulemaking process.
•Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.
In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007. Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through 2012, and Phase III ran from 2013 through to 2020. Phase IV runs from January 1, 2021 through 2030 and sectors covered under the ETS must reduce their GHG emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels. Since January 1, 2021, the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU ETS and, instead, has been under the UK ETS. However, the United Kingdom had the obligation and retained the ability to enforce the EU ETS obligations until April 30, 2021. Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS and assets that are subject to the UK ETS.
From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France. The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris Agreement,” which, upon certain conditions being met, entered into force on November 4, 2016. The Paris Agreement establishes a commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions. In 2017, President Trump announced his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement and that withdrawal became effective on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed the “Acceptance on Behalf of the United States of America,” which allows the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement. The United States officially rejoined the Paris Agreement in February 2021, which could lead to additional GHG emission reduction requirements for sources in the United States.
In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming at the state or federal levels with respect to GHG emissions. Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in additional financial burden in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.
Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program, GHG reduction requirements or carbon taxes could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation. Such laws and regulations could also increase demand for less carbon intensive energy sources.

An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act. The program had been limited to certain stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 was expanded to include emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs. The ultimate impact on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•The nature of the legislation or regulation, such as a cap and trade system or a tax on emissions.
•The GHG reductions required.
•The price and availability of offsets.
•The demand for, and amount and allocation of allowances.
•Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•Any potential significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased severe weather events, changes in sea levels and changes in temperature.
•Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions, and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment, and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation throughout our operations.
In September 2021, we announced a set of company-wide GHG emission intensity reduction targets that we consider to be impactful, attainable and measurable. By 2030, we expect to reduce GHG emission intensity by 30% for Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our operations and by 15% for Scope 3 emissions from our energy products, below 2019 levels.
In addition to the disclosures above, we have issued our 2021 Sustainability Report that is accessible on our website and provides more detailed information on our Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) initiatives, including detailed information on environmental metrics.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for descriptions of our major accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The following discussion of critical accounting estimates, along with the discussion of contingencies in this report, addresses all important accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future expected cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future before-tax cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple for similar assets; historical market transactions including similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant assumptions when necessary; or replacement cost adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments, including future volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of review.
Investments in nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment when there are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the investment’s carrying amount. When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value. When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery. When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, if appropriate. Different assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.
See Note 9—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information about significant impairments recorded in 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Under various contracts, permits and regulations, we have legal obligations to remove tangible long-lived assets and restore the land at the end of operations at certain operational sites. Estimating the timing and cost of future asset removals is difficult. Our recognized asset retirement obligations primarily involve asbestos abatement at our refineries; decommissioning, removal or dismantlement of certain assets at refineries that have or will be shut down; and dismantlement or removal of assets at certain leased international marketing sites. Many of these removal obligations are many years, or decades, in the future, and the contracts and regulations often have vague descriptions of what removal practices and criteria must be met when the removal event actually occurs. Asset removal technologies and costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, expenditure timing, and other inputs into valuation of the obligation, including discount and inflation rates, are also subject to change.

Environmental Costs
In addition to asset retirement obligations discussed above, we have certain obligations to complete environmental-related projects. These projects are primarily related to cleanup at domestic refineries, underground storage sites and nonoperated sites. Future environmental remediation costs are difficult to estimate because they are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, timing and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other responsible parties.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
At December 31, 2021, we had $715 million of intangible assets that we have determined to have indefinite useful lives, and therefore do not amortize. The judgmental determination that an intangible asset has an indefinite useful life is continuously evaluated. If, due to changes in facts and circumstances, management determines these intangible assets have finite useful lives, amortization will commence at that time on a prospective basis. As long as these intangible assets are determined to have indefinite lives, they will be subject to at least annual impairment tests that require management’s judgment of their estimated fair value.
At December 31, 2021, we had $1.5 billion of goodwill primarily related to past business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized. Instead, goodwill is subject to at least annual tests for impairment at a reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component that is one level below an operating segment, and it is determined primarily based on the manner in which the business is managed.
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test using a qualitative assessment and a quantitative assessment, if one is deemed necessary. As part of our qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events and circumstances that could affect the fair value of our reporting units, including macroeconomic conditions, overall industry and market considerations and regulatory changes, as well as company-specific market metrics, performance and events. The evaluation of company-specific events and circumstances includes evaluating changes in our stock price and cost of capital, actual and forecasted financial performance, as well as the effect of significant asset dispositions. If our qualitative assessment indicates it is likely the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value (including goodwill), a quantitative assessment is performed.
When a quantitative assessment is performed, management applies judgment in determining the estimated fair values of the reporting units because quoted market prices for our reporting units are not available. Management uses available information to make this fair value determination, including estimated future cash flows, cost of capital, observed market earnings multiples of comparable companies, our common stock price and associated total company market capitalization.
We completed our annual qualitative assessment of goodwill as of October 1, 2021, and concluded that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values (including goodwill). A decline in the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units in the future could result in an impairment. As such, we continue to monitor for indicators of impairment until our next annual impairment assessment is performed.
See Note 9—Impairments, and Note 16—Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the goodwill impairment we recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

Tax Assets and Liabilities
Our operations are subject to various taxes, including federal, state and foreign income taxes, property taxes, and transactional taxes such as excise, sales and use, value-added and payroll taxes. We record tax liabilities based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The recording of tax liabilities requires significant judgment and estimates. We recognize the financial statement effects of an income tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. A contingent liability related to a transactional tax claim is recorded if the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Actual incurred tax liabilities can vary from our estimates for a variety of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations and different assessments of the amount of tax due.
In determining our income tax expense (benefit), we assess the likelihood our deferred tax assets will be recovered through future taxable income. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will, more likely than not, be realized. Judgment is required in estimating the amount of valuation allowance, if any, that should be recorded against our deferred tax assets. Based on our historical taxable income, our expectations for the future, and available tax-planning strategies, we expect our net deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized as offsets to reversing deferred tax liabilities and as reductions to future taxable income. If our actual results of operations differ from such estimates or our estimates of future taxable income change, the valuation allowance may need to be revised.
New tax laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are continuously being proposed or promulgated. The implementation of future legislative and regulatory tax initiatives could result in increased income tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time.
Projected Benefit Obligations
Calculation of the projected benefit obligations for our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans impacts the obligations on the balance sheet and the amount of benefit expense in the statement of operations. The actuarial calculation of projected benefit obligations and company contribution requirements involves judgment about uncertain future events, including estimated retirement dates, salary levels at retirement, mortality rates, lump-sum election rates, rates of return on plan assets, future interest rates, future health care cost-trend rates, and rates of utilization of health care services by retirees. We engage outside actuarial firms to assist in the calculation of these projected benefit obligations and company contribution requirements due to the specialized nature of these calculations. As financial accounting rules and the pension plan funding regulations promulgated by governmental agencies have different objectives and requirements, the actuarial methods and assumptions for the two purposes differ in certain important respects. Ultimately, we will be required to fund all promised benefits under pension and postretirement benefit plans not funded by plan assets or investment returns, but the judgmental assumptions used in the actuarial calculations significantly affect periodic financial statements and funding patterns over time. Benefit expense is particularly sensitive to the discount rate and return on plan assets assumptions. A one percentage-point decrease in the discount rate assumption used for the plan obligation would increase annual benefit expense by an estimated $60 million, while a one percentage-point decrease in the return on plan assets assumption would increase annual benefit expense by an estimated $40 million. In determining the discount rate, we use yields on high-quality fixed income investments with payments matched to the estimated distributions of benefits from our plans.
The expected weighted-average long-term rate of return for worldwide pension plan assets was approximately 6% for both 2021 and 2020, while the actual weighted-average rate of return was 10% in 2021 and 12% in 2020. For the past ten years, our actual weighted-average rate of return for worldwide pension plan assets was 10%.

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
At December 31, 2021, Phillips 66 had $10.3 billion of senior unsecured notes outstanding guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a direct, wholly owned operating subsidiary of Phillips 66. Phillips 66 conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Phillips 66 Company, and those subsidiaries generate substantially all of its operating income and cash flows. The guarantees (1) are unsecured obligations of Phillips 66 Company, (2) rank equally with all of Phillips 66 Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and (3) are full and unconditional.
Summarized financial information of Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company (the Obligor Group) is presented on a combined basis. Intercompany transactions among the members of the Obligor Group have been eliminated.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Refining
Our realized refining margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of petroleum products manufactured at our refineries and (b) costs of feedstocks, primarily crude oil, used to produce the petroleum products. The realized refining margins are adjusted to include our proportional share of our joint venture refineries’ realized margins, as well as to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized refining margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by total refinery processed inputs (primarily crude oil) measured on a barrel basis, including our share of inputs processed by our joint venture refineries. Our realized refining margin per barrel is intended to be comparable with industry refining margins, which are known as “crack spreads.” As discussed in “Executive Overview and Business Environment—Business Environment,” industry crack spreads measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. We believe realized refining margin per barrel calculated on a similar basis as industry crack spreads provides a useful measure of how well we performed relative to benchmark industry refining margins.
The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized refining margin per barrel is the Refining segment’s “income (loss) before income taxes per barrel.” Realized refining margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in a manufacturer’s gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income (loss) before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. It also includes our proportional share of joint venture refineries’ realized refining margins and excludes special items. Because realized refining margin per barrel is calculated in this manner, and because realized refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income (loss) before income taxes to realized refining margins:

Marketing
Our realized marketing fuel margins measure the difference between (a) sales and other operating revenues derived from the sale of fuels in our M&S segment and (b) costs of those fuels. The realized marketing fuel margins are adjusted to exclude those items that are not representative of the underlying operating performance of a period, which we call “special items.” The realized marketing fuel margins are converted to a per-barrel basis by dividing them by sales volumes measured on a barrel basis. We believe realized marketing fuel margin per barrel demonstrates the value uplift our marketing operations provide by optimizing the placement and ultimate sale of our refineries’ fuel production.
Within the M&S segment, the GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to realized marketing fuel margin per barrel is the marketing business’ “income before income taxes per barrel.” Realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes items that are typically included in gross margin, such as depreciation and operating expenses, and other items used to determine income before income taxes, such as general and administrative expenses. Because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel excludes these items, and because realized marketing fuel margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, it has limitations as an analytical tool. Following are reconciliations of income before income taxes to realized marketing fuel margins:
