    Financial Highlights • Reported earnings increased compared to second quarter 2025 primarily due to reliable operations with higher commodity prices, higher margins on refined product sales, and impacts from higher sales volumes. This includes $1.4 billion in favorable timing effects 1 . • Production in the second quarter of 2026 was 20 percent higher than second quarter last year largely due to the contribution from legacy Hess assets, and growth in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America. • U.S. refinery crude unit throughput was a record 1.07 million barrels per day, reflecting reliable crude unit capacity utilization of more than 97 percent. • Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was higher than a year ago due to record U.S. production with higher commodity prices, increased cash distributions from Tengizchevroil LLP, and favorable working capital effects. • Capex in the second quarter of 2026 was higher than last year largely due to spend on legacy Hess assets, partially offset by lower spend in the Permian Basin. • Total debt was reduced by a record $8.4 billion in the quarter, further strengthening Chevron’s balance sheet and reinforcing the company’s…

  14. #14prepared remarks

    • U.S. upstream earnings were higher primarily due to higher liquids realizations and sales volumes, partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization, lower natural gas realizations, and the absence of a prior year asset sale gain. • Net oil-equivalent production during the quarter was up 382,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, achieving a new quarterly production record. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and growth in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America.

  18. #18prepared remarks

    • U.S. downstream earnings were higher than the year-ago period primarily due to higher margins on refined product sales and higher earnings from the 50 percent-owned affiliate, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC. • Refinery crude unit inputs increased 2 percent from the year-ago period as refineries operated reliably at record levels near capacity. • Refined product sales decreased 4 percent compared to the year-ago period due to lower demand for gasoline.

    • All Other consists of worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology companies. • Net charges were relatively flat compared to a year ago as higher employee benefit costs and higher interest expense were offset by the absence of prior-year unfavorable fair value adjustment on Hess shares.
