Business Environment and Executive Overview
ConocoPhillips is one of the world’s leading E&P companies based on production and reserves, with operations and activities in 15 countries. Our diverse, low cost of supply portfolio includes resource-rich unconventional plays in North America; conventional assets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia; global LNG developments; oil sands in Canada; and an inventory of global exploration prospects. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, at June 30, 2026, we employed approximately 9,600 people worldwide and had total assets of $124 billion.
Overview
At ConocoPhillips, we anticipate that commodity prices will continue to be cyclical and volatile, and our view is that a successful business strategy in the E&P industry must be resilient in lower price environments while also retaining upside during periods of higher prices. As such, we are unhedged, remain committed to our disciplined investment framework and continually monitor market fundamentals, including the impacts associated with geopolitical tensions and conflicts, global demand for our products, oil and gas inventory levels, governmental policies, tariffs, inflation and supply chain disruptions. We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment and the ongoing market volatility in the energy landscape and across global markets for implications to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, have increased volatility in global energy markets and may elevate risks to regional operations, infrastructure and shipping routes. We have investments in LNG facilities in Qatar, including one producing asset and two projects under construction. Our investments have not been damaged, though production remained constrained through the second quarter of 2026, and there are no indications of impairment. However, further escalation could adversely affect operations, LNG transportation and construction and have broader supply chain impacts. Production from our Qatar investments was approximately four percent of total company production volumes in 2025. The company continues to monitor developments and prioritize the safety of personnel and the integrity of our operations. See Note 6.
As the global energy industry continues to evolve, we remain committed to creating long-term value for our stockholders. We believe ConocoPhillips plays an essential role in responsibly meeting the global demand for energy, while continuing to deliver competitive returns on and of capital and working to meet our previously established emissions-reduction targets. Our value proposition to deliver competitive returns to stockholders through price cycles is guided by our foundational principles which consist of maintaining balance sheet strength, providing peer-leading distributions, making disciplined investments and demonstrating responsible and reliable ESG performance.
In 2025, we made clear commitments to enhance portfolio value and structural profitability, and we remain focused on
seeing those commitments through to completion. In the second half of 2025, we announced incremental cost reductions
and margin enhancements exceeding $1 billion anticipated on a run-rate basis by year-end 2026, reflecting continued
progress toward delivering sustainable improvements in our cost structure and margins.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Table of Contents
In the third quarter of 2025, we announced a total disposition target of $5 billion by year-end 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for approximately $1.7 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. These transactions closed in the third quarter of 2026. These transactions, coupled with our 2025 dispositions, achieved the $5 billion disposition target. See Note 3.
Operationally, we remain focused on safely executing the business while also progressing key strategic initiatives. During the second quarter of 2026, we entered into certain commercial LNG agreements, expanding our commercial offtake from 10.2 MTPA to 12.2 MTPA.
In June 2026, we and a third-party operator jointly signed an agreement with the Syrian government and Syrian Petroleum Company to increase production from, and further develop, certain gas fields in Syria, from which we do not expect material impacts in 2026.
In July 2026, we entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (bp) to acquire a 42 percent direct equity holding in a non-operated joint venture, supporting the ongoing redevelopment of four large-scale, currently producing oil fields in the Kirkuk area of northern Iraq. The cash outflow at close is expected to be $0.3 billion to $0.5 billion, including reimbursement of our proportionate share of bp's project costs incurred from the effective date of the agreement through close. In addition, deferred payments of $0.2 billion will be paid no later than three years from the date of close. This transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, with an effective date of July 1, 2026. See Note 3.
Production was 2,248 MBOED in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 143 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2026 production decreased by 98 MBOED or four percent from the same period a year ago.
Second-quarter 2026 production resulted in $7.4 billion of cash provided by operating activities. We returned $3.0 billion to shareholders, consisting of $2.0 billion through share repurchases and $1.0 billion through our ordinary dividend. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaling $8.1 billion and long-term investments in debt securities of $1.2 billion.
Also in the second quarter of 2026, we reinvested $3.0 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments, with over half of the expenditures related to flexible, short-cycle unconventional plays in the Lower 48 segment.
In August 2026, we declared a third-quarter ordinary dividend of $0.84 per share.
Business Environment
Commodity prices are the most significant factor impacting our profitability and related returns on and of capital to our shareholders. Dynamics that could influence world energy markets and commodity prices include, but are not limited to, global economic health, supply or demand disruptions or fears thereof caused by civil unrest, global pandemics, military conflicts, actions taken by OPEC Plus and other major oil producing countries, environmental laws, tariffs, governmental policies and weather-related disruptions. Our strategy is to create value through price cycles by delivering on the financial, operational and ESG priorities that underpin our value proposition.
Our earnings and operating cash flows generally correlate with price levels for crude oil and natural gas, which are subject to factors external to the company and over which we have no control. The following graph depicts the trend in average benchmark prices for WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas:

The following table presents average prices for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Three Months EndedJune 30
Industry Prices 2026 2025 Change
Brent ($ per BBL) 104.52 67.82 54 %
WTI ($ per BBL) 92.79 63.74 46 %
Henry Hub ($ per MMBTU) 2.90 3.44 (16) %
Average Realized Prices
Crude ($ per BBL) 99.40 64.23 55 %
Bitumen ($ per BBL) 61.01 39.43 55 %
Gas ($ per MCF) 2.58 4.16 (38) %
Total ($ per BOE) 62.33 45.77 36 %
Oil and bitumen prices were higher in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 as Middle East supply disruptions that began in the first quarter of 2026 persisted through the second quarter.
U.S. Henry Hub prices decreased relative to the first quarter of 2026 due to seasonally softer demand coupled with rising domestic production and above normal inventory levels. Prices decreased relative to the same quarter last year as rising domestic production contributed to a well-supplied market. The risk of volatility in regional markers remains throughout 2026.
Total realized prices were higher in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 primarily driven by higher industry prices for oil.

Increases for the three- and six-month periods include higher crude and bitumen prices of $3,730 million and $3,988 million, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods, these increases were partly offset by lower volumes of $409 million and $835 million, respectively.
Purchased commodities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, increased $1,627 million and $1,722 million, respectively, primarily due to higher crude prices partly offset by lower gas prices.
Production and operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, decreased $141 million and $371 million, respectively, primarily due to increased efficiencies.
DD&A for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, increased $145 million and $305 million, respectively, primarily due to higher DD&A rates, driven by higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025.

The Lower 48 segment consists of operations located in the U.S. Lower 48 states and commercial operations. As of June 30, 2026, the Lower 48 contributed 69 percent of our consolidated liquids production and 74 percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Lower 48 reported earnings of $2,584 million and $3,987 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with earnings of $1,399 million and $3,189 million for the same periods of 2025.
Earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized crude and NGL prices of $1,892 million. Additional increases to earnings include lower production and operating expenses of $155 million primarily driven by efficiencies. Decreases to earnings include lower gas prices of $459 million driven by lower gas realizations and lower volumes of $125 million. Additional decreases to earnings include the absence of a gain on a disposition of $254 million and higher DD&A of $112 million, primarily driven by higher rates, due to higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025.
Earnings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized crude prices of $1,868 million. Additional increases to earnings include lower production and operating expenses of $341 million, primarily driven by efficiencies. Decreases to earnings include lower gas prices of $673 million driven by lower gas realizations and lower volumes of $208 million. Additional decreases to earnings include the absence of a gain on a disposition of $242 million, and higher DD&A of $227 million, primarily driven by higher rates, due to higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025.
Production
Average production decreased 29 MBOED and 19 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Production decreases were primarily driven by normal field decline and dispositions of assets in 2025.
Decreases to production were partly offset by new wells online from our development programs in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Midland Basin and Bakken.

The Canada segment operations include the Surmont oil sands development in Alberta, the Montney unconventional play in British Columbia and commercial operations. As of June 30, 2026, Canada contributed eight percent of our consolidated liquids production and four percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Canada reported earnings of $320 million and $405 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with earnings of $149 million and $405 million for the same periods of 2025.
Earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $199 million and timing of sales. This increase was partly offset by lower volumes of $113 million and a pending claim of $58 million.
Earnings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $254 million and timing of sales. This increase was offset by lower volumes of $187 million and pending claims of $121 million. Additional decreases to earnings included lower other income of $56 million primarily from a change in the fair value measurement associated with the Surmont contingent consideration arrangement. See Note 10.
Production
Average production decreased 39 MBOED and 29 MBOED in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Decreases to production resulted from higher variable royalties in Surmont following a post-payout event in 2025 and a rate increase due to higher prices, as well as normal field decline. The Surmont royalties are based on a sliding scale ranging from 25 percent to 40 percent, calculated under the oil sands royalty regime as a percentage of gross revenue, net of allowable deductions post-payout, indexed to WTI prices between $55 CAD and $120 CAD.
Production decreases were partly offset by new wells online in the Montney area.

The Europe, Middle East and North Africa segment consists of operations principally located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, Qatar, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, Syria and commercial and terminalling operations in the U.K. As of June 30, 2026, our Europe, Middle East and North Africa operations contributed eight percent of our consolidated liquids production and 18 percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Europe, Middle East and North Africa reported earnings of $346 million and $611 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with earnings of $237 million and $656 million for the same periods of 2025.
Earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included higher revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $151 million. Decreases to earnings included lower earnings from equity affiliates of $18 million, primarily driven by lower volumes, and tax impacts of $29 million due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions.
Decreases to earnings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 included tax impacts of $96 million due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions, lower earnings from equity affiliates of $38 million, primarily driven by lower volumes, and lower volumes of $22 million. The decreases were partly offset by higher realized prices of $140 million.
Consolidated Production
Average consolidated production increased seven MBOED and decreased six MBOED in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Production in the three-month period increased due to the absence of field-wide turnarounds in the Greater Ekofisk Area of Norway. Both periods also benefited from new wells online and improved performance in Equatorial Guinea, Libya and Norway.
The above production increases were partly offset for the three-month period and more than offset for the six-month period by normal field decline.

Qatar
We have investments in LNG facilities in Qatar, including one producing asset and two projects under construction. Our investments have not been damaged, though production remained constrained through the second quarter of 2026, and there are no indications of impairment. However, further escalation could adversely affect operations, LNG transportation and construction and have broader supply chain impacts. The company continues to monitor developments and prioritize the safety of personnel and the integrity of our operations. See Note 6.
Recent and Pending Acquisitions
In June 2026, we and a third-party operator jointly signed an agreement with the Syrian government and Syrian Petroleum Company to increase production from, and further develop, certain gas fields in Syria, from which we do not expect material impacts in 2026.
In July 2026, we entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of bp to acquire a 42 percent direct equity holding in a non-operated joint venture, supporting the ongoing redevelopment of four large-scale, currently producing oil fields in the Kirkuk area of northern Iraq. The cash outflow at close is expected to be $0.3 billion to $0.5 billion, including reimbursement of our proportionate share of bp's project costs incurred from the effective date of the agreement through close. In addition, deferred payments of $0.2 billion will be paid no later than three years from the date of close. This transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, with an effective date of July 1, 2026. See Note 3.

The Asia Pacific segment has operations in China, Malaysia, Australia and commercial operations in China, Singapore and Japan. As of June 30, 2026, Asia Pacific contributed four percent of our consolidated liquids production and three percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Asia Pacific reported earnings of $389 million and $684 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with earnings of $330 million and $641 million for the same periods of 2025.
Earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $160 million. Decreases to earnings include higher taxes other than income taxes of $40 million due to higher crude prices.
Earnings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $183 million partly offset by lower volumes of $44 million. Decreases to earnings include lower earnings from equity affiliates of $47 million, primarily due to lower LNG marker prices, and higher taxes other than income taxes of $46 million due to higher crude prices.
Consolidated Production
Average consolidated production remained flat in the three-month period and decreased three MBOED in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026. Decreases to production were primarily due to normal field decline.
Production decreases were offset in the three-month period and partly offset in the six-month period by development activity in Bohai Bay in China.

To meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, including cash generated from operating activities, our commercial paper and credit facility programs and our ability to sell securities using our shelf registration statement. During the first six months of 2026, the primary uses of our available cash were $6.0 billion to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $3.0 billion to repurchase common stock, $2.1 billion to pay the ordinary dividend and $0.7 billion of net purchases of investments.
At June 30, 2026, we had total liquidity of $13.2 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $6.6 billion, short-term investments of $1.1 billion and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $5.5 billion. In addition, we have $1.2 billion of long-term investments in debt securities. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operating activities, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the “Significant Changes in Capital” section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, capital return program and required debt payments.
Significant Changes in Capital
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $11.7 billion for the first six months of 2026 compared with $9.6 billion for the corresponding period of 2025. The increase resulted from higher commodity prices, partly offset by working capital timing.
Our short-term and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent on the prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs. Prices and margins in our industry have historically been volatile, driven by market conditions beyond our control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level of absolute production volumes, as well as the product and location mix, is another significant factor impacting our cash flows. Future production is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the volatile crude oil and natural gas price environment, which may impact investment decisions; the effects of price changes on production sharing and variable-royalty contracts; acquisition and disposition of fields; field production decline rates; new technologies; operating efficiencies; timing of startups and major turnarounds; political instability; government regulations; weather-related disruptions; and the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively monitor and manage these factors, changes in production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although we generally experience less variability in our cash flows due to changes in production levels than due to changes in commodity prices.
To maintain or grow our production volumes, we must continue adding to our proved reserve base. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.

Investing Activities
For the first six months of 2026, we invested $6.0 billion in capital expenditures and investments. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.
Proceeds from asset sales were $0.2 billion in the first six months of 2026. In the first six months of 2025, proceeds from asset sales were $1.3 billion, primarily from the sale of assets in our Lower 48 segment.
In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for approximately $1.7 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. These transactions closed in the third quarter of 2026. See Note 3.
In July 2026, we entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of bp to acquire a 42 percent direct equity holding in a non-operated joint venture, supporting the ongoing redevelopment of four large-scale, currently producing oil fields in the Kirkuk area of northern Iraq. The cash outflow at close is expected to be $0.3 billion to $0.5 billion, including reimbursement of our proportionate share of bp's project costs incurred from the effective date of the agreement through close. In addition, deferred payments of $0.2 billion will be paid no later than three years from the date of close. This transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, with an effective date of July 1, 2026. See Note 3.
We invest in short-term and long-term investments as part of our cash investment strategy, the primary objective of which is to protect principal, maintain liquidity and provide yield and total returns. These investments include time deposits, commercial paper, as well as debt securities classified as available for sale. Short-term funds needed to support our operating plan and provide resiliency to react to short-term price volatility are invested in highly liquid instruments with maturities of less than one year. Funds we consider available to maintain resiliency in longer-term price downturns and to capture opportunities outside a given operating plan may be invested in instruments with maturities of greater than one year. See Note 9.
Investing activities in the first six months of 2026 included net purchases of $652 million of investments. We had net purchases of $365 million of short-term investments and net purchases of $287 million of long-term investments. See Note 13.
Financing Activities
In the first quarter of 2026, the company retired $67 million principal amount of our 6.875% Notes at maturity.
On July 1, 2026, we completed a $600 million remarketing of sub-series 2017D bonds that are part of the $1 billion St. John the Baptist Parish, State of Louisiana—Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2017. The bonds are subject to an interest rate of 3.0% and a mandatory tender date of July 2, 2029. Subsequent to the mandatory tender date, we will also have the right to remarket these bonds at any time up to the 2037 maturity date. See Note 5.
We have a revolving credit facility totaling $5.5 billion with a maturity date of February 2030. The credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million or as support for our commercial paper program. With no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $5.5 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2026.
Our debt balance at June 30, 2026, was $23.3 billion compared with $23.4 billion at December 31, 2025. The current portion of debt, including future payments for finance leases, is $0.5 billion at June 30, 2026. Debt payments are expected to be made using current cash balances and cash provided by operating activities.
Moody's affirmed our long-term debt credit ratings in April 2026. The current long-term debt credit ratings are:
•Fitch: “A” with a “stable” outlook
•S&P: “A-” with a “stable” outlook
•Moody's: “A2” with a “stable” outlook
See Note 5 for additional information on debt.

Certain of our project-related contracts, commercial contracts and derivative instruments contain provisions requiring us to post collateral. Many of these contracts and instruments permit us to post either cash or letters of credit as collateral. At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had direct bank letters of credit of $295 million and $331 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, we may be required to post additional letters of credit.
Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate number of various types of debt and equity securities.
Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.
We believe in delivering value to our shareholders through our return of capital framework. The framework is structured to deliver a compelling, growing ordinary dividend and through-cycle share repurchases. We anticipate returning greater than 30 percent of cash from operating activities through cycles.
In the first six months of 2026, we paid ordinary dividends of $1.68 per share, and in the first six months of 2025, we paid ordinary dividends of $1.56 per share. In August 2026, we declared an ordinary dividend of $0.84 per share, payable September 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on August 17, 2026.
In late 2016, we initiated our current share repurchase program. In October 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase from our previous authorization of $45 billion by a total of the lesser of $20 billion or the number of shares issued in our acquisition of Marathon Oil, such that the company is not to exceed $65 billion in aggregate repurchases. Share repurchases are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. As of June 30, 2026, share repurchases since the inception of our current program totaled 512.4 million shares and $42.3 billion. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 26.3 million shares for a cost of $3.0 billion.
In 2026, we increased future contractual purchase obligations related to long-term LNG offtake contracts and vessels, as well as certain other capacity obligations, by approximately $7 billion.
