Business Environment and Outlook
Chevron Corporation3 is a global energy company with direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates that conduct substantial business activities in the following countries: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh,
3 Incorporated in Delaware in 1926 as Standard Oil Company of California, the company adopted the name Chevron Corporation in 1984 and ChevronTexaco Corporation in 2001. In 2005, ChevronTexaco Corporation changed its name to Chevron Corporation. As used in this report, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” “us” and “its” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole, but unless stated otherwise they do not include “affiliates” of Chevron — i.e., those companies generally owned 50 percent or less. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

The company’s objective is to safely deliver higher returns, lower carbon and superior shareholder value in any business environment. Earnings of the company depend mostly on the profitability of its upstream business segment. The most significant factor affecting the results of operations for the upstream segment is the price of crude oil, which is determined in global markets outside of the company’s control. In the company’s downstream business, crude oil is the largest cost component of refined products. Periods of sustained lower commodity prices could result in the impairment or write-off of specific assets in future periods and cause the company to adjust operating expenses, including employee reductions, and capital expenditures, along with other measures intended to improve financial performance.
Some governments, companies, communities and other stakeholders are supporting efforts to address climate change. International initiatives and national, regional and state legislation and regulations that aim to directly or indirectly reduce GHG emissions are in various stages of design, adoption, and implementation. These policies and programs can change the amount of energy consumed, the rate of energy-demand growth, the energy mix, and the relative economics of one fuel versus another. Implementation of jurisdiction-specific policies and programs can be dependent on, and can affect the pace of, technological advancements; the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities; the availability and acceptability of cost-effective, verifiable carbon credits; the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability-related standards; evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures; and evolving standards and regulations for tracking, reporting, disclosing, marketing, and advertising relating to emissions and emissions reductions and removals.
Significant uncertainty remains as to the pace and extent to which a lower carbon future progresses, which is dependent, in part, on substantial advancements and changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. The level of expenditure required to comply with new or potential climate change-related laws and regulations, and the amount of additional investments needed in new or existing technology or facilities, such as carbon capture and storage, is difficult to predict with certainty and is expected to vary depending on the actual laws and regulations enacted, available technology options, customer and consumer preferences, the company’s activities, and market conditions. Although the future is uncertain, many published outlooks conclude that fossil fuels will remain a significant part of an energy system that increasingly incorporates lower carbon sources of supply for many years to come.
Chevron supports a global approach to governments addressing climate change and continues to take actions to help lower the carbon intensity of its operations while continuing to meet the demand for energy. Chevron believes that broad, market-based mechanisms are the most efficient approach to addressing GHG emissions reductions. Chevron integrates climate change-related issues and the regulatory and other responses to these issues into its strategy and planning, capital investment reviews, and risk management tools and processes, where it believes they are applicable. They are also factored into the company’s long-range supply, demand, and energy price forecasts. These forecasts reflect estimates of long-range effects from climate change-related policy actions, such as electric vehicle and renewable fuel penetration, energy efficiency standards, and demand response to oil and natural gas prices.
The company will continue to develop oil and gas resources to meet customers’ and consumers’ demand for energy. At the same time, Chevron believes that the future of energy is lower carbon. The company will continue to maintain flexibility in its portfolio to be responsive to changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. Chevron aims to grow its oil and gas business, lower the carbon intensity of operations and grow new energies businesses. To grow new energies businesses, Chevron plans to leverage the company’s capabilities, assets, partnerships and customer relationships. The company’s oil and gas business may increase or decrease depending upon market, economic, legislative, and regulatory forces, among other factors.
Chevron’s previously disclosed GHG intensity targets through 2028 can be found on pages 36 through 37 of the company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Chevron regularly evaluates its aspirations, targets and goals. The company has changed and/or eliminated some of these aspirations, targets and goals and may continue to do so in the future for various reasons, including market conditions; its strategy or portfolio; and financial, operational, policy, reputational, legal and other factors. The company’s ability to achieve any aspiration, target or goal is subject to numerous risks and contingencies, many of which are outside of Chevron’s control and persist. Examples of such risks and contingencies include: (1) sufficient and substantial advances in technology, including progress of commercially viable technologies and low- or non-carbon-based energy sources; (2) laws, governmental regulation, policies, and other enabling actions, including those regarding subsidies, tax and other incentives as well as the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities; (3) successful generation, acquisition, retirement and accounting of cost-effective, verifiable carbon offsets from nature-based solutions or carbon capture and storage; (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability-related standards; (5) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures; (6) evolving standards for tracking and reporting on emissions and emission reductions and removals; (7) customers’ and consumers’ preferences and use of the company’s products or substitute products; and (8) actions taken by the company’s competitors. Please refer to the risk factors regarding the company’s strategy, aspirations, targets, and disclosures related to environmental, social, and governance matters included on pages 25 through 27 of the company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the company can change substantially during periods of significant earnings volatility. This is due to the mix effects that are impacted by both the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arise in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions. As a result, a decline or increase in the effective income tax rate in one period may not be indicative of expected results in future periods. Additional information related to the company’s effective income tax rate is included in Note 10 Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Supply Chain and Inflation Impacts The company actively manages contracting, procurement and supply chain activities to help ensure operational reliability and effective management of third party costs. Third party costs for capital and operating expenses may be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control including, but not limited to: geopolitical events, severe weather, civil unrest, delays in construction, global and local supply chain distribution issues, inflation, tariffs or other taxes imposed on goods or services, and market-based prices charged by the industry’s material and service providers. Chevron utilizes contracts with various pricing mechanisms, which may result in a lag before the company’s costs reflect changes in market trends.
Trends in the costs of goods and services vary by spend category. In the United States, cost pressures for services and select equipment remain elevated, reflecting cross-industry demand and supplier capital discipline. The company addresses cost and supply assurance by partnering with suppliers on demand planning, volume commitments, standardization and scope optimization. The company continues to use a range of appropriately structured contracting and commercial terms, including fixed, indexed and performance-based contracts.
Acquisition and Disposition of Assets The company continually evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not expected to provide sufficient long-term value and to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help augment the company’s financial performance and value growth. The company expects $1-2 billion in annual asset sale proceeds through 2030. Asset dispositions and restructurings may result in significant gains or losses in future periods. During the second quarter of 2026, the company completed the sale of its Hong Kong downstream fuels and lubricants businesses, generating proceeds of approximately $290 million. The company also signed an agreement to sell the company’s 50 percent interest in the Singapore Refining Company Private Limited (Singapore Refining Company) and other downstream assets in Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. This transaction is expected to close in 2027.
In addition, some assets are divested along with their related liabilities, such as decommissioning obligations. In certain instances, such transferred obligations have returned and may continue to return to the company and result in losses that could be significant. The company has historically recognized losses and could have additional significant obligations revert, primarily in the United States, but is not currently aware of any such

obligations that are reasonably possible to be material. Refer to Note 12 Other Contingencies and Commitments for additional information.
In July 2025, the company completed its acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess). Refer to Note 18. Acquisition of Hess Corporation for additional information.
Timing Effects The company uses financial derivatives as economic hedges to manage certain price risks related to physical hydrocarbon shipments. At the end of the quarter, as per the ASC 815 requirement, these derivatives are marked-to-market and reflected in current period earnings; however, earnings impacts on the associated physical shipments are not recognized until delivery is completed. This creates a timing difference in earnings recognition that is expected to unwind in future periods. In addition, the company’s use of LIFO accounting can result in non-cash earnings effects. Together, these are referred to as timing effects. In a rising commodity price environment, timing effects are generally negative and in a declining commodity price environment, timing effects are generally positive. In first quarter 2026, earnings were adversely affected by $2.9 billion due to timing effects related to higher commodity prices in March 2026. Second quarter 2026 results included $1.5 billion of favorable timing effects as commodity prices declined in June 2026.
Other Impacts The company closely monitors developments in the financial and credit markets, the level of worldwide economic activity, and the implications for the company of movements in prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Management takes these developments into account in the conduct of daily operations and for business planning.
The company previously announced plans to achieve $3-4 billion in structural cost reductions by the end of 2026. These cost savings were expected to largely come from optimizing the portfolio, leveraging technology to enhance productivity, and changing how and where work is performed, including expanded use of global capability centers. During the second quarter of 2026, the company achieved its structural cost reduction target six months early by capturing $3 billion in annual run-rate savings. The company plans to continue to look for ways to further lower costs in the future
Comments related to earnings trends for the company’s major business areas are as follows:
Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely aligned with industry prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. These prices are subject to external factors over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry production and inventory levels, technology advancements, production quotas or other actions imposed by OPEC+ countries, actions of regulators, weather-related damage and disruptions, competing fuel prices, natural and human causes beyond the company’s control, and regional supply interruptions or fears thereof that may be caused by military conflicts, civil unrest or political uncertainty. Any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company closely monitors developments in the countries in which it operates and holds investments and seeks to manage risks in operating its facilities and businesses.
The longer-term trend in earnings for the upstream segment is also a function of other factors, including the company’s ability to efficiently find, acquire and produce crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, changes in fiscal terms of contracts, the pace of energy transition, and changes in tax, environmental and other applicable laws and regulations.
Chevron has interests in Venezuelan assets operated by independent affiliates. Chevron has been conducting limited activities in Venezuela consistent with authorizations issued by the United States government. The financial results for Chevron’s business in Venezuela have been recorded as non-equity investments since 2020, where income is only recognized when cash is received, and production and reserves are not included in the company’s results. Following the issuance of a general license and other authorizations, crude oil liftings in Venezuela restarted in 2023. Chevron maintained its presence in Venezuela consistent with the U.S. government sanctions policy, and pursuant to this policy, continued delivering limited crude oil to the U.S. from these affiliates through January 2026. Based on authorizations that align with current U.S. sanctions policy for Venezuela, Chevron expects to continue delivery of crude oil produced from its Venezuelan assets to the U.S. and to the international market. Current geopolitical developments relating to
29
Table of Contents
Venezuela could have an impact on the company’s operations in Venezuela and, as a result, impact the company’s future results of operations.
Chevron maintains an equity interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) that provides a primary export route for Tengiz field production in Kazakhstan. An adverse event or incident affecting CPC operations, which CPC has experienced from time to time, such as drone attacks on CPC and third-party infrastructure and vessels, could have a negative impact on the company’s future results of operations and financial position. The financial impacts of such risks remain uncertain.
Governments (including Russia) have imposed and may impose additional sanctions and other trade laws, restrictions and regulations that could lead to disruption in our ability to produce, transport and/or export crude in the region around Russia.
Recent geopolitical conditions in the Middle East have impacted, and may continue to impact, the company’s business. Chevron has exposure to the Middle East through its upstream, downstream, chemicals and trading businesses, as well as through logistics activities, with operations in Israel, the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and the surrounding region. The conflict has resulted in production curtailments in the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and from CPChem assets in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and increased risks associated with lifting and transporting physical cargoes. While the company’s physical operations have not been materially impacted to date, the situation throughout the region remains volatile with the potential for escalation, which could result in additional operational restrictions, supply disruptions, and logistics challenges.
In addition, the conflict in the Middle East has increased potential physical and other risks to the company’s operations and assets. The company also faces growing threats from sophisticated cyberattacks that leverage artificial intelligence and similar tools. The company continues to actively monitor regional developments and maintain contingency plans for its operations, supply chains, and logistics activities. Any further impacts on the company’s results of operations and financial condition remain uncertain.

The chart above shows the trend in benchmark prices for Brent crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas. The Brent price averaged $92 per barrel for the first six months of 2026, compared with $72 per barrel during the first six months of 2025, and ended July at about $97 per barrel. For every dollar change in Brent crude oil prices, the company’s annual after-tax earnings and cash flow sensitivity is approximately $600 million. The WTI price averaged $83 per barrel for the first six months of 2026, compared to $68 per barrel in the first six months of 2025, and ended July at about $85 per barrel. Crude oil prices were volatile during the second quarter of 2026. Prices increased sharply following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and concerns regarding potential disruptions to global crude oil supplies. As market concerns regarding supply disruptions eased, prices declined and ended the quarter near levels prevailing prior to the conflict. Prices subsequently increased in July as continued conflict in the Middle East contributed to market volatility.
The U.S. Henry Hub natural gas price averaged $3.77 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) for the first six months of 2026, compared with $3.71 per MCF during the first six months of 2025, and ended July at about $2.64 per MCF. Henry Hub natural gas prices declined modestly during the second quarter as additional pipeline capacity improved natural gas flows from the Permian Basin and maintenance activities at Gulf Coast LNG facilities reduced exports.
Outside the United States, prices for natural gas also depend on regional supply and demand, regulatory circumstances and infrastructure conditions in local markets. The company’s long-term contract prices for LNG are typically linked to crude oil prices. Most of the equity LNG offtake from the operated Australian LNG assets is committed under binding long-term contracts, with some sold in the Asian spot LNG market.
See page 39 for the company’s U.S. and international average realizations for the first six months of 2026 and the same period last year.
Production The company’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production in the first six months of 2026 averaged 3.97 million barrels per day, up 18 percent from a year ago due to the acquisition of Hess and growth in the Permian Basin and the Gulf of America. About 17 percent of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in the first six months of 2026 occurred in the OPEC+ member countries of Equatorial Guinea, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on page 33 for additional discussion of the company’s upstream business.
Downstream Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining, manufacturing and marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil, fuel and lubricant additives, petrochemicals and renewable fuels. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regional supply-and-demand balance for refined products and petrochemicals, and by changes in the price of crude oil, other refinery and petrochemical feedstocks, and natural gas. Industry margins can also be influenced by inventory levels, geopolitical events, costs of materials and services, refinery or chemical plant capacity utilization, maintenance programs, and disruptions at refineries or chemical plants resulting from unplanned outages due to severe weather, fires or other operational events.
Other factors affecting profitability for downstream operations include the reliability and efficiency of the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, the effectiveness of its crude oil and product supply functions, and the volatility of tanker-charter rates for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, and changes in tax, environmental, and other applicable laws and regulations.
The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States and Asia Pacific. Chevron operates or has significant ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas.

Income tax expense/(benefit) $ 4,470 $ 1,632 $ 6,123 $ 3,703
The company’s increase in income tax expense for second quarter 2026 of $2.8 billion was primarily due to the increase in total income before tax of $12.5 billion.
U.S. income before tax increased from $1.1 billion in second quarter 2025 to $6.4 billion in second quarter 2026. This was driven by higher upstream liquids realizations, higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream margins on refined product sales partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization. The company’s U.S. income tax increased $1.1 billion between year-over-year periods, from $300 million in 2025 to $1.4 billion in 2026 primarily due to the increase in income.
International income before tax increased from $3.0 billion in second quarter 2025 to $10.3 billion in second quarter 2026. This $7.3 billion increase in income was primarily driven by increased upstream sales volumes, higher upstream liquids realizations, higher margins on refined product sales and favorable timing effects partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization. The company’s international income tax expense increased $1.7 billion between year-over-year periods, from $1.3 billion in 2025 to $3.1 billion in 2026, primarily due to the increase in income partially offset by mix effects, resulting from the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arose in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions.

The company’s increase in income tax expense for the first six-months of 2026 of $2.4 billion was primarily due to the increase in the total before-tax income in 2026 of $10.9 billion.
U.S. income before tax increased between the six-month periods, from $3.0 billion in 2025 to $8.2 billion in 2026. This increase in income was primarily driven by increased upstream sales volumes, higher upstream liquids realizations, and higher margins on refined product sales partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization. The increase in income had a direct impact on the company’s U.S. income tax, resulting in an increase in tax expense of $1.1 billion between the six-month periods, from $801 million in 2025 to $1.9 billion in 2026.
International income before tax increased for the six-month periods from $6.7 billion in 2025 to $12.4 billion in 2026. This increase in income was primarily driven by increased upstream sales volumes, higher upstream liquids realizations, and higher margins on refined product sales, partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization and unfavorable timing effects. The increase in income partly offset by mix effects, resulting from the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arose in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions, primarily drove the $1.3 billion increase in international income tax expense between year-over-year periods, from $2.9 billion in 2025 to $4.2 billion in 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $8.5 billion at June 30, 2026, and $6.3 billion at year-end 2025. The company holds its cash with a diverse group of major financial institutions and has processes and safeguards in place to manage its cash balances and mitigate the risk of loss. Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2026 was $25.1 billion, compared with $13.8 billion in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting higher commodity prices and increased cash distributions from TCO. Capital expenditures totaled $8.6 billion in the first six months of 2026, compared with $7.6 billion in the year-ago period. Proceeds and deposits related to asset sales and returns of investment totaled $355 million in the first six months of 2026, compared to $990 million in the year-ago period. Net repayment (borrowing) of loans by equity affiliates included a net inflow of $979 million in the first six months of 2026 mainly due to a loan repayment from TCO, compared with an outflow of $176 million in the year-ago period.
Dividends The company paid dividends of $7.0 billion to common stockholders during the first six months of 2026. In July 2026, the company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.78 per common share, payable in September 2026.
Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities Chevron’s total debt and finance lease liabilities were $37.1 billion at June 30, 2026, down from $40.8 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to maturing long-term notes, a finance lease repayment, and lower commercial paper balances.
The company’s primary source for working capital needs is its commercial paper program. The outstanding balance for the company’s commercial paper program at June 30, 2026, was $4.1 billion, compared with $4.6 billion at December 31, 2025. The company’s debt and finance lease liabilities due within one year, consisting primarily of commercial paper, the current portion of long-term debt and redeemable long-term obligations, totaled $11.3 billion at June 30, 2026, and $10.9 billion at December 31, 2025. Of these amounts, $10.9 billion at June 30, 2026, and $9.9 billion at December 31, 2025, were reclassified to long-term debt. At June 30, 2026, settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to continually refinance them.
At June 30, 2026, the company had $11.4 billion in 364-day committed credit facilities with various major banks that enable the refinancing of short-term obligations. The credit facilities allow the company the option to convert outstanding short-term obligations into a term loan for a period of up to one year from the facilities termination date. This supports commercial paper borrowing and can also be used for general corporate purposes. The company’s practice has been to replace expiring commitments with new commitments on substantially the same terms, maintaining levels management believes appropriate. Any borrowings under the facilities would be unsecured indebtedness at interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or an average of base lending rates published by specified banks and on terms reflecting the company’s strong credit rating. No borrowings were outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 2026. In addition, the company has an automatic shelf registration statement that expires in November 2027 for an unspecified amount of nonconvertible debt securities issued by Chevron Corporation or CUSA.
The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate the company’s debt, and the company’s cost of borrowing can increase or decrease depending on these debt ratings. The company has outstanding bonds issued by Chevron Corporation, CUSA, Texaco Capital Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., and Hess Corporation. The securities that are the obligations of, or guaranteed by, Chevron Corporation carry an AA- rating by Standard and Poor’s Corporation (S&P) and an Aa2 rating by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). The company’s U.S. commercial paper is rated A-1+ by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s. All of these ratings denote high-quality, investment-grade securities.
The company’s future debt level is dependent primarily on results of operations, cash that may be generated from asset dispositions, the capital program, lending commitments to affiliates, loan repayments from affiliates, and shareholder distributions. Based on its high-quality debt ratings, the company believes that it has substantial borrowing capacity to meet unanticipated cash requirements. During extended periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas and narrow margins for refined products and commodity chemicals, the company has the flexibility to modify capital spending plans, discontinue or curtail the stock repurchase

program, sell assets, and increase borrowings to continue paying the common stock dividend. The company remains committed to retaining high-quality debt ratings.

Common Stock Repurchase Program On January 25, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the company’s shares of common stock in an aggregate amount of $75 billion (the “2023 Program”). The 2023 Program took effect on April 1, 2023, and does not have a fixed expiration date. In the aggregate, the company has repurchased 281 million shares for $44.0 billion under the 2023 Program, including 16.2 million shares repurchased for $3.0 billion in second quarter 2026. Chevron expects share repurchases in third quarter 2026 to be between $2.5-$3.0 billion.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, by block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the company. The timing of the repurchases and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the company’s shares, general market and economic conditions, and other factors. The stock repurchase program and any forward guidance as to expected repurchases do not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be discontinued or resumed at any time.
Noncontrolling Interests The company had noncontrolling interests of $5.7 billion at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, including non-controlling interest in Hess Midstream LP.
