**CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

**FOR THE PURPOSE OF "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE**

**PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995**

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Chevron Corporation contains forward-looking statements relating to Chevron's operations, assets, and strategy that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words or phrases such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "targets," "advances," "commits," "drives," "aims," "forecasts," "projects," "believes," "approaches," "seeks," "schedules," "estimates," "positions," "pursues," "progress," "design," "enable," "may," "can," "could," "should," "will," "budgets," "outlook," "trends," "guidance," "focus," "on track," "trajectory," "goals," "objectives," "strategies," "opportunities," "poised," "potential," "ambitions," "future," "aspires" and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking statements include such words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the company's control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil and natural gas prices and demand for the company's products, and production curtailments due to market conditions; crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries; technological advancements; changes to government policies in the countries in which the company operates; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions; disruptions in the company's global supply chain, including supply chain constraints and escalation of the cost of goods and services; changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which the company operates; general domestic and international economic, market and political conditions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and the global response to these hostilities; changing refining, marketing and chemicals margins; the company's ability to realize anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with enterprise structural cost reduction initiatives; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; changes in projected future cash flows; timing of crude oil liftings; uncertainties about the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves; the competitiveness of alternate-energy sources or product substitutes; pace and scale of the development of large carbon capture and offset markets; the results of operations and financial condition of the company's suppliers, vendors, partners and equity affiliates; the inability or failure of the company's joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company's operations due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather, cyber threats, terrorist acts, or other natural or human causes beyond the company's control; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant operational, investment or product changes undertaken or required by existing or future environmental statutes and regulations, including international agreements and national or regional legislation and regulatory measures related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; the potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; the company's ability to successfully integrate the operations of the company and Hess Corporation and achieve the anticipated benefits and projected synergies from the transaction; the company's future acquisitions or dispositions of assets or shares or the delay or failure of such transactions to close based on required closing conditions; the potential for gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, taxes and tax audits, tariffs, sanctions, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; higher inflation and related impacts; material reductions in corporate liquidity and access to debt markets; changes to the company's capital allocation strategies; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; the company's ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent in operating in the global energy industry; and the factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" on pages 20 through 27 of the company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**Note 1. General**

*Basis of Presentation* The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries (together, Chevron or the company) have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of the company's management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The term "earnings" is defined as net income attributable to Chevron.

Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**Note 7. Operating Segments and Geographic Data**

Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in these subsidiaries and their affiliates. The investments are grouped into two business segments, Upstream and Downstream, representing the company's "reportable segments" and "operating segments." Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing, producing and transporting crude oil and natural gas; liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with liquified natural gas (LNG); transporting crude oil by major international oil export pipelines; processing, transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; carbon capture and storage; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining of crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil, refined products, and lubricants; manufacturing and marketing of renewable fuels; transporting of crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant additives. "All Other" activities of the company include worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology activities.

The company's segments are managed by "segment managers" who report to the "chief operating decision maker" (CODM), which is comprised of the company's Executive Committee, as referenced under "Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance" on page 32 of the company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The segments represent components of the company that engage in activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred. Each segment has discrete financial information available. The CODM regularly reviews the operating results of these segments to assess their performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. The company's primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile, while other components of the company's operations are reported as "International" (outside the United States).

The acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess) and the company's new organizational structure did not result in any change to the company's reportable or operating segments. Hess results have been fully incorporated into the upstream segment.

*Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues* Products are transferred between operating segments at internal product values that approximate market prices. Revenues for the upstream segment are derived primarily from the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs), as well as the sale of third-party production of natural gas. Revenues for the downstream segment are derived from the refining and marketing of petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel, gas oils, lubricants, residual fuel oils, and other products derived from crude oil. This segment also generates revenues from the manufacture and sale of fuel and lubricant additives, renewable fuels, and the transportation and trading of refined products and crude oil. "All Other" activities include revenues from insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology companies.

*Segment Expenses* Purchased crude oil and products, operating and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization are the company's significant segment expenses. Operating and SG&A expenses include transportation, employee costs, service and fees, fuel and utilities, materials and supplies, SG&A expenses, and other components of net periodic benefit costs. Other costs and deductions primarily represent taxes other than on income, exploration expense, and interest and debt expenses.

*Segment Earnings* The company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on an after-tax basis, without considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or investment interest income, both of which are managed by the company on a worldwide basis. Corporate administrative costs are not allocated to the operating segments. However, operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate services. Non-billable costs remain at the corporate level in "All Other."

Segmented income statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are presented in the following tables:

**Note 8. Employee Benefits**

Chevron has defined benefit pension plans for many employees. The company typically prefunds defined benefit plans as required by local regulations or in certain situations where prefunding provides economic advantages. In the United States, all qualified plans are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under laws and regulations because contributions to these pension plans may be less economic and investment returns may be less attractive than the company's other investment alternatives. Hess's employee benefit plans have been incorporated into this note post-acquisition.

The company also sponsors other postretirement employee benefit (OPEB) plans that provide medical and dental benefits, as well as life insurance for qualifying retired employees. The plans are unfunded, and the company and the retirees share the costs. For the company's main U.S. medical plan, the increase to the pre-Medicare company contribution for retiree medical coverage is limited to no more than four percent each year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company.

The components of net periodic benefit costs for 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Through September 30, 2025, a total of $538 million was contributed to employee pension plans (including $453 million to the U.S. plans). Contribution amounts are dependent upon plan investment returns, changes in

pension obligations, regulatory requirements, and other economic factors. Additional funding may ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.

During the first nine months of 2025, the company contributed $112 million to its OPEB plans.

**Note 9. Assets Held For Sale**

At September 30, 2025, the company classified $26 million of net properties, plant and equipment as "Assets held for sale" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets are associated with downstream operations that are anticipated to be sold in the next 12 months. The revenues and earnings contributions of these assets in 2024 and the first nine months of 2025 were not material.

**Note 10. Income Taxes**

The income tax expense decreased $192 million between quarterly periods from $2.0 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025. The company's income before income tax expense decreased $1.1 billion from $6.5 billion in 2024 to $5.4 billion in 2025, primarily due to lower upstream realizations, lower affiliate earnings and higher interest costs, partially offset by higher downstream margins and the impacts from higher upstream sales volumes. The company's effective tax rate increased between quarterly periods from 31 percent in 2024 to 33 percent in 2025. The change in effective tax rate was primarily due to current period unfavorable tax items and mix effects, resulting from the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arose in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions.

The income tax expense decreased $1.5 billion between the nine-month periods from $7.0 billion in 2024 to $5.5 billion in 2025. The company's income before income tax decreased $6.3 billion from $21.4 billion in 2024 to $15.1 billion in 2025, primarily due to lower upstream realizations and lower affiliate earnings, partially offset by the impacts from higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream margins. The company's effective tax rate increased between nine-month periods from 32 percent in 2024 to 36 percent in 2025. The change in effective tax rate was primarily due to current period unfavorable tax items and mix effects, resulting from the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arose in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions.

The company engages in ongoing discussions with tax authorities regarding the resolution of tax matters in various jurisdictions. Both the outcome of these tax matters and the timing of resolution and/or closure of the tax audits are highly uncertain. Given the number of years that still remain subject to examination and the number of matters being examined in the various tax jurisdictions, the company is unable to estimate the range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits.

**Note 11. Litigation** 

***Climate Change***

Governmental and other plaintiffs in various jurisdictions across the United States have brought legal proceedings against fossil fuel producing companies, including Chevron entities, purporting to seek legal and equitable relief to address alleged impacts of climate change. Chevron entities are or were among the codefendants in 33 separate lawsuits filed by various U.S. cities and counties, six U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, two Native American tribes, and a trade group in both federal and state courts.<sup>1</sup> The lawsuits have asserted various causes of action, including public nuisance, private nuisance, failure to warn, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, design defect, product defect, trespass, negligence, impairment of public trust, equitable relief for pollution, impairment and destruction of natural resources, unjust enrichment, violations of consumer and environmental protection statutes, violations of unfair competition statutes, violations of a federal antitrust statute, and violations of federal and state RICO statutes, based upon, among other things, the company's production of oil and gas products and alleged misrepresentations or omissions relating to climate change risks associated with those products. Further such proceedings are likely to be brought by other parties. While defendants have sought to remove cases filed in state court to federal court, most of those cases have been remanded to state court and the U.S. Supreme Court has denied petitions for writ of certiorari on jurisdictional questions to date. The U.S. Supreme Court has also denied petitions for certiorari to review a decision from the Hawaii Supreme Court allowing claims brought by the City and County of Honolulu to proceed past the pleadings. The unprecedented legal theories set forth in these proceedings include claims for damages (both compensatory and punitive), injunctive and other forms of equitable relief, including without limitation abatement, contribution to abatement funds, disgorgement of profits and equitable relief for pollution, impairment and destruction of natural resources, civil penalties and liability for fees and costs of suits. Due to the unprecedented nature of the suits, the company is unable to estimate any range of possible liability, but given the uncertainty of litigation there can be no assurance that the cases will not have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations and financial condition. Management believes that these proceedings are legally and factually meritless and detract from constructive efforts to address the important policy issues presented by climate change and will vigorously defend against such proceedings.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

***Louisiana***

Seven coastal parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed lawsuits in Louisiana against numerous oil and gas companies seeking remediation damages for coastal erosion in or near oil fields located within Louisiana's coastal zone under Louisiana's State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA). Chevron entities are defendants in 37 of these cases.<sup>2</sup> The lawsuits allege that the defendants' historical operations were conducted without necessary permits or failed to comply with permits obtained and seek remediation damages and other relief, including the costs of restoring coastal wetlands allegedly impacted by oil field operations. Further such proceedings may be brought by other parties. Most of these cases have been remanded to Louisiana state court. In April 2025, a jury in a Louisiana state court awarded Plaquemines Parish $744.6 million in a trial against Chevron entities. However, the United States Supreme Court subsequently granted a petition for writ of certiorari in a related case and will determine if certain of these cases belong in federal, rather than state, court. A state court judge then continued a hearing on Plaquemines Parish's motion for entry of judgment on the trial verdict and stayed that case pending a decision by the United States Supreme Court. The company denies this liability and plans to appeal any judgment based on the jury verdict. The jury's decision was unique to the facts and circumstances of the case and may not be representative of future outcomes for other claims brought against Chevron entities under the SLCRMA. In accordance with guidance on the evaluation of loss contingencies, the company has recorded an accrual of $131 million, which the company believes to be a reasonably estimable loss in light of the available defenses. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. However, because of the uncertainties associated with ongoing litigation, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss that may be attributable to liabilities, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. While the company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported and intends to appeal and vigorously pursue post-judgment remedies, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. To the extent the company is required to pay remediation damages in these cases, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Management believes that the claims in these lawsuits lack legal and factual merit and will continue to vigorously defend against such proceedings.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**Note 12. Other Contingencies and Commitments**

*Income Taxes* The company calculates its income tax expense and liabilities quarterly. These liabilities generally are subject to audit and are not finalized with the individual taxing authorities until several years after the end of the annual period for which income taxes have been calculated.

Settlement of open tax years, as well as other tax issues in countries where the company conducts its businesses, are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company and, in the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for income taxes for all years under examination or subject to future examination.

*Guarantees* The company and its subsidiaries have certain contingent liabilities with respect to guarantees, direct or indirect, of debt of affiliated companies or third parties. Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, the company would generally be required to perform should the affiliated company or third party fail to fulfill its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements may have recourse provisions that would enable the company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from assets provided as collateral.

*Indemnification* The company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with its partners, suppliers and vendors in the ordinary course of business, the terms of which range in duration and sometimes are not limited. The company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection with its service or other claims made against such parties.

*Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements* The company and its subsidiaries have certain contingent liabilities with respect to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, including throughput and take-or-pay agreements, some of which may relate to suppliers' financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline and storage capacity, utilities, and petroleum products, to be used or sold in the ordinary course of the company's business.

*Environmental* The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to laws, regulations, private claims and legal proceedings related to environmental matters that are subject to legal settlements or that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various operating, closed and divested sites, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, chemical plants, marketing facilities, crude oil fields, and mining sites.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, it is likely that the company will continue to incur additional liabilities. The amount of additional future costs are not fully determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties. These future costs may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognized, but the company does not expect these costs will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity.

*Decommissioning Obligations for Previously Divested Assets* 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. To the extent the current owners of the company's previously divested assets default on their decommissioning obligations, regulators may require that Chevron assume such obligations. The nature and amount of the loss is disclosed when it is reasonably possible that the loss could be material. The company accrues a liability when management determines the obligation to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The company 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. The liability balance at the end of third quarter 2025 is $2.2 billion.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

*Other Contingencies* The company and its affiliates continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, retire, sell, exchange, acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. These activities, individually or together, may result in significant gains or losses in future periods.

Chevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; joint venture partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; suppliers; and individuals. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve, and may result in gains or losses in future periods.

**Note 13. Fair Value Measurements**

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to measure the fair value of an asset or liability are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the company, Level 1 inputs include exchange-traded futures contracts for which the parties are willing to transact at the exchange-quoted price and marketable securities that are actively traded.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the company, Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, prices obtained through third-party broker quotes and prices that can be corroborated with other observable inputs for substantially the complete term of a contract.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The company does not use Level 3 inputs for any of its recurring fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is as follows:

**Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis**

*Derivatives* The company records most of its derivative instruments — other than any commodity derivative contracts that are accounted for as normal purchase and normal sale — on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, with the offsetting amount to the Consolidated Statement of Income. The company designates certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges that, if applicable, are reflected in the table above. Derivatives classified as Level 1 include futures, swaps and options contracts valued using quoted prices from active markets such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. Derivatives classified as Level 2 include swaps, options and forward contracts, the fair values of which are obtained from third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services, and exchanges. The company obtains multiple sources of pricing information for the Level 2 instruments. Since this pricing information is generated from observable market data, it has historically been very consistent. The company does not materially adjust this information.

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, are as follows:

*Cash and Cash Equivalents* The company holds cash equivalents in U.S. and non-U.S. portfolios. The instruments classified as cash equivalents are primarily bank deposits with maturities of 90 days or less, and money market funds. "Cash and cash equivalents" had carrying/fair values of $7.7 billion and $6.8 billion at

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 and reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were settled at September 30, 2025.

*Restricted Cash* had a carrying/fair value of $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, restricted cash is classified as Level 1 and includes primarily restricted funds related to certain upstream decommissioning activities and financing programs that are reported in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Deferred charges and other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

*Long-Term Debt* excluding amounts reclassified from short-term debt and finance lease obligations had a net carrying value of $28.6 billion and $10.8 billion at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Long-term debt primarily includes corporate-issued bonds. The fair value of these obligations was $28.6 billion and $9.8 billion at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the fair value of these obligations classified as Level 1 was $24.3 billion and Level 2 was $4.3 billion.

The carrying values of other short-term financial assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their fair values. Fair value remeasurements of other financial instruments at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were not material.

*Properties, plant and equipment* The company did not have any individually material impairments of long- lived assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in third quarter 2025.

*Investments and advances* The company did not have any individually material impairments of investments and advances measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in third quarter 2025.

**Note 14. Financial and Derivative Instruments**

The company's commodity derivative instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas and refined product futures, swaps, options and forward contracts. The company applies cash flow hedge accounting to certain commodity transactions, where appropriate, to manage the market price risk associated with forecasted sales of crude oil. The company's derivatives are not material to the company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodities and other derivatives activities.

The company uses commodity derivative instruments traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and on electronic platforms of the Inter-Continental Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, the company enters into swap contracts and option contracts principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in the "over-the-counter" markets, which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements and other master netting arrangements.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows:

The amount reclassified from AOCL to "Sales and other operating revenues" from designated hedges for the first nine months of 2025 was a loss of $34 million compared with a loss of $43 million in the same period of the prior year. At September 30, 2025, before-tax deferred gains in AOCL related to outstanding crude oil price hedging contracts were $7 million, of which all is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged crude oil sales are recognized in earnings.

Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as accounts and notes receivable, long-term receivables, accounts payable, and deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations. Amounts not offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represent positions that do not meet all the conditions for "a right of offset."

**Note 15. Revenue**

"Sales and other operating revenues" on the Consolidated Statement of Income primarily arise from contracts with customers. Related receivables are included in "Accounts and notes receivable" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the current expected credit losses. The net balance of these receivables was $12.8 billion and $14.2 billion at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Other items included in "Accounts and notes receivable" represent amounts due from partners for their share of joint venture operating and project costs and amounts due from others, primarily related to derivatives, leases, buy/sell arrangements, and product exchanges, which are accounted for outside the scope of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 606*.* 

**Note 16. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses**

Chevron's expected credit loss allowance balance was $407 million and $611 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, with a majority of the allowance relating to non-trade receivable balances.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

The majority of the company's receivable balance is concentrated in trade receivables, with a balance of $16.0 billion at September 30, 2025, which reflects the company's diversified sources of revenues and is dispersed across the company's broad worldwide customer base. As a result, the company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited. The company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. When the financial strength of a customer is not considered sufficient, alternative risk mitigation measures may be deployed, including requiring prepayments, letters of credit or other acceptable forms of collateral. Once credit is extended and a receivable balance exists, the company applies a quantitative calculation to current trade receivable balances that reflects credit risk predictive analysis, including probability of default and loss given default, which takes into consideration current and forward-looking market data as well as the company's historical loss data. This statistical approach becomes the basis of the company's expected credit loss allowance for current trade receivables with payment terms that are typically short-term in nature, with most due in less than 90 days.

Chevron's non-trade receivable balance was $3.3 billion at September 30, 2025, which includes receivables from certain governments in their capacity as joint venture partners. Joint venture partner balances that are paid per contract terms or are not yet due are subject to the statistical analysis described above, while past due balances are subject to additional qualitative management quarterly review. This management review includes review of reasonable and supportable repayment forecasts. Non-trade receivables also include employee and tax receivables that are deemed immaterial and low risk.

**Note 17. Long-Term Debt**

The company issued $11.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of floating and fixed rate notes in 2025 as detailed in the table below.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)**

**Note 18. Acquisition of Hess Corporation**

On July 18, 2025, the company acquired Hess Corporation (Hess), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Hess's principal upstream operations are in the United States, Guyana and Malaysia. Hess's operations also include an approximate 38 percent ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP, with operations primarily in the Bakken shale in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota.

The aggregate purchase price of Hess was approximately $48 billion, including 15.38 million shares of Hess common stock purchased in open market transactions in the first quarter of 2025 and 301.25 million shares of Chevron common stock issued as closing consideration in July. As part of the transaction, the company assumed debt with an aggregate outstanding principal value of $8.8 billion. The shares issued represented approximately 15 percent of the shares of Chevron common stock outstanding immediately after the transaction closed on July 18, 2025.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the date of acquisition, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach that incorporated internally generated price assumptions and production profiles together with appropriate operating cost and development cost assumptions. Debt assumed in the acquisition was valued based on observable market prices for Hess's debt. As a result of measuring the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at fair value, there was no goodwill or bargain purchase recognized.

**Note 20. Asset Retirement Obligations**

The company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) both as an asset and a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The legal obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional, even though uncertainty may exist about the timing and/or method of settlement that may be beyond the company's control. This uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate fair value. The ARO liability is initially recognized at its fair value with a increase to the related asset. Subsequent accretion of the liability and depreciation of the asset is recorded over time. The company evaluates its ARO estimates regularly or when there is significant new information about costs, timing, and duration of asset retirement activity.

AROs are primarily recorded for the company's crude oil and natural gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated with any legal obligations to retire downstream long-lived assets have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the associated ARO. The company performs periodic reviews of its downstream long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a retirement obligation.

The following table indicates the changes to the company's before-tax asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

*Net income attributable to Chevron Corporation* for third quarter 2025 was $3.5 billion ($1.82 per share — diluted), compared with $4.5 billion ($2.48 per share — diluted) in third quarter 2024. The net income attributable to Chevron Corporation for the first nine months of 2025 was $9.5 billion ($5.27 per share —diluted), compared with $14.4 billion ($7.88 per share — diluted) in the first nine months of 2024.

*Upstream* earnings in third quarter 2025 were $3.3 billion compared with $4.6 billion in the corresponding 2024 period. The decrease was mainly due to lower liquids realizations and lower affiliate earnings. Earnings for the first nine months of 2025 were $9.8 billion compared with $14.3 billion a year earlier. The decrease was mainly due to lower liquids realizations and lower affiliate earnings.

*Downstream* earnings in third quarter 2025 were $1.1 billion compared with $595 million in the corresponding 2024 period. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales and lower operating expenses, partly offset by lower earnings from the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. Earnings for the first nine months of 2025 were $2.2 billion compared with $2.0 billion a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales and lower operating expenses, partly offset by lower earnings from the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company.

***Business Environment and Outlook***

Chevron Corporation<sup>3</sup> 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, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Guyana, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nigeria, the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Venezuela.

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 our sustainability-related standards; evolving regulatory or other requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures and evolving standards and regulations for tracking, reporting, marketing and advertising relating to emissions and emissions reductions and removals.

Significant uncertainty remains as to the pace and extent to which the transition to a lower carbon future will progress, which is dependent, in part, on further 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

<sup>3</sup> 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.

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 its operations and grow new energies businesses. To grow its 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 2050 net zero upstream aspiration and GHG intensity targets through 2028 can be found on pages 36 through 37 of the company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In 2021, the company provided guidance on planned capital spend through 2028 to advance its lower carbon ambitions. From September 2021 through September 30, 2025, Chevron has spent approximately $8.2 billion on these efforts. Due to evolving market conditions, the company has determined that it will no longer provide forward-looking guidance with respect to planned lower carbon capital spend.

Chevron regularly evaluates its aspirations, targets and goals and expects to change or eliminate some of its aspirations, targets and goals 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) the availability and acceptability of cost-effective, verifiable carbon credits; (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet our sustainability-related standards; (5) evolving regulatory requirements, including changes to IPCC's Global Warming Potentials and the U.S. EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, affecting ESG standards or disclosures; (6) evolving standards for tracking and reporting on emissions and emissions reductions and removals; (7) customers' and consumers' preferences and use of the company's products or substitute products; (8) actions taken by the company's competitors in response to legislation and regulations; and (9) successful negotiations for carbon capture and storage and nature-based solutions with customers, suppliers, partners and governments. Please refer to the risk factors regarding our strategy, aspirations, targets, and disclosures related to environmental, social, and governance matters included on pages 23 through 27 of the company's 2024 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 <u>[Note 10 Income Taxes](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_67)</u> to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), which made significant changes to U.S. tax law. We do not expect that the tax provisions in the OBBBA will have a material impact on our results of operations, but we expect that the OBBBA will have a positive impact on Chevron's cash flows.

***Supply Chain and Inflation Impacts*** The company is actively managing its contracting, procurement and supply chain activities to effectively manage costs and facilitate supply chain resiliency and continuity in support of the company's operational goals. Third party costs for capital and operating expenses can be subject to external factors beyond the company's control including, but not limited to: severe weather or 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. Chevron has applied inflation mitigation strategies to temper cost increases, including fixed price and index-based contracts. Lead times for key capital

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

equipment remain long due to strong demand levels. Chevron has addressed equipment cost increases and long lead times by partnering with suppliers on demand planning, volume commitments, standardization, and scope optimization. The offshore market remains competitive for vessels and subsea equipment. In the United States, cost pressures for onshore drilling and completion equipment continue to ease.

In 2025, the U.S. announced the imposition of various changing tariffs on imports from our trade partners. The tariff impact in 2025 is currently estimated at less than one percent of the company's third party spend and is not expected to be material to the company's financial results. The company continues to work with partners across its supply chain to identify alternative sourcing options and mitigate the impact of the tariffs. However, there is significant uncertainty as to the duration and magnitude of these and any future tariffs that may be imposed and, accordingly, as to the resultant impacts these tariffs could have on the company and its suppliers and the company's future results of operations.

***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 is targeting $10-15 billion of asset sales over the five-year period ending in 2028. Asset dispositions and restructurings may result in significant gains or losses in future periods. In addition, some assets are sold along with their related liabilities, such as abandonment and decommissioning obligations. In certain instances, such transferred obligations have reverted, and may in the future revert, 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 <u>[Note 12 Other Contingencies and Commitments](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_94)</u> for additional information.

***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 commodity prices and downstream margins. Management takes these developments into account in the conduct of daily operations and for business planning.

The company has announced plans to achieve $2-3 billion in structural cost reductions by the end of 2026. These cost savings will 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. In relation to these efforts, the company recognized a restructuring charge in fourth quarter 2024.

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 natural gas liquids (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 the authorization 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

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

in the company's results. Crude oil liftings in Venezuela started in first quarter 2023, which positively impacted the company's results. Between March 4, 2025, and July 21, 2025, Chevron activities were restricted under applicable general licenses. During this time and since July 21, 2025, Chevron has maintained its presence in Venezuela consistent with the U.S. government sanctions policy, and pursuant to this policy, expects to continue delivering a limited amount of crude oil to the U.S. from these affiliates during 2025. Further, current geopolitical tensions relating to 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, could have a negative impact on the Tengiz field and the company's 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.

Chevron holds a 39.7 percent interest in the Leviathan field and a 25 percent interest in the Tamar field in Israel. The conflict between Israel and various regional adversaries has not significantly impacted the company's operations, with the company continuing to maintain safe and reliable operations while meeting its contractual commitments. The company continues to monitor the potential for further conflict in the region, and any future impacts on the company's results of operations and financial condition remain uncertain.

Sources: Platts (crude) & Energy Intelligence (natural gas)

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 $71 per barrel for the first nine months of 2025, compared with $83 per barrel during the first nine months of 2024, and ended October at about $65 per barrel. For every dollar change in Brent crude oil prices, the company's annual after-tax earnings and cash flow sensitivity is approximately $450 million. The WTI price averaged $67 per barrel for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $78 per barrel in the first nine months of 2024, and ended October at about $61 per barrel. Crude oil prices weakened slightly in the third quarter as OPEC+ countries increased production, while production from non-OPEC+ countries also continued to grow.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

The U.S. Henry Hub natural gas price averaged $3.49 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) for the first nine months of 2025, compared with $2.20 per MCF during the first nine months of 2024, and ended October at about $3.44 per MCF. In the U.S., mild summer weather and strong production resulted in natural gas storage levels remaining at the upper end of the five-year range during third quarter 2025, leading to lower U.S. Henry Hub prices relative to second quarter 2025.

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 liquified natural gas (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 41 for the company's U.S. and international average realizations for the first nine months of 2025 and the same period last year.

***Production*** The company's worldwide net oil-equivalent production in the first nine months of 2025 averaged 3.61 million barrels per day, up 8 percent from a year ago as growth in TCO, the Permian Basin, and the Gulf of America, as well as the acquisition of Hess, was partly offset by the impacts of asset sales. About 22 percent of the company's net oil-equivalent production in the first nine months of 2025 occurred in the OPEC+ member countries of Equatorial Guinea, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Refer to the "Results of Operations" section on page 35 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.

*Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024* 

U.S. upstream earnings decreased by $664 million primarily due to lower liquids realizations of $600 million and severance and other transaction costs related to the Hess acquisition of $245 million, partly offset by impacts from higher sales volumes of $250 million.

Net oil-equivalent production was up 435,000 barrels per day, or 27 percent. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and higher production in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America.

*Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024*

U.S. upstream earnings decreased by $1.6 billion primarily due to lower liquids realizations of $1.7 billion, higher depreciation, depletion and amortization of $770 million, higher operating expenses of $730 million, and severance and other transaction costs related to the Hess acquisition of $245 million, partly offset by higher sales volumes of $1.0 billion, and higher natural gas realizations of $670 million.

Net oil-equivalent production was up 208,000 barrels per day, or 13 percent. The increase was primarily due to higher production in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America, and the acquisition of Hess, partly offset by lower production in the Rockies.

*Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024* 

International upstream earnings decreased by $623 million primarily due to lower affiliate earnings of $450 million, lower realizations of $370 million, and asset sales of $120 million, partly offset by earnings from legacy Hess of $330 million, primarily in Guyana.

Net oil-equivalent production was up 287,000 barrels per day, or 16 percent. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and higher production in Kazakhstan as the Future Growth Project (FGP) at TCO maintained nameplate capacity, partly offset by impacts from asset sales in Canada and Republic of Congo.

*Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024*

International upstream earnings decreased by $2.9 billion primarily due to lower affiliate earnings of $1.6 billion, lower realizations of $760 million, and asset sales of $470 million. Foreign currency effects had an unfavorable impact on earnings of $81 million between periods. These items are partly offset by higher earnings from legacy Hess of $330 million, primarily in Guyana.

Net oil-equivalent production was up 72,000 barrels per day, or 4 percent. The increase was primarily due to higher production in Kazakhstan as FGP at TCO reached nameplate capacity, and the acquisition of Hess, partly offset by asset sales in Canada and Republic of Congo.

The company's decrease in income tax expense for third quarter 2025 of $192 million was primarily due to the decrease in total income before tax of $1.1 billion.

U.S. income before tax decreased from $1.8 billion in third quarter 2024 to $1.3 billion in third quarter 2025. This $538 million decrease in income was primarily driven by a loss related to legacy Hess, due in part from severance and transaction costs, and lower upstream realizations, partially offset by the impacts from higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream margins. The decrease in income had a direct impact on the company's U.S. income tax, resulting in a decrease in income tax expense of $226 million between year-over-year periods, from $460 million in 2024 to $234 million in 2025.

International income before tax decreased from $4.7 billion in third quarter 2024 to $4.1 billion in third quarter 2025. This $537 million decrease in income was primarily driven by lower upstream realizations, asset sale impacts and lower affiliate income, partially offset by legacy Hess earnings, primarily in Guyana. Despite the decrease in income, the company's international income tax expense increased by $34 million between year-over-year periods, from $1.5 billion in 2024 to $1.6 billion in 2025, primarily due to current period unfavorable tax items.

The company's decrease in income tax expense for the first nine months of 2025 of $1.5 billion was primarily due to the decrease in the total income before tax of $6.3 billion.

U.S. income before tax decreased between the nine-month periods, from $6.9 billion in 2024 to $4.3 billion in 2025. This $2.6 billion decrease in income was primarily driven by lower upstream realizations, lower affiliate income and legacy Hess severance and transaction costs, partially offset by the impacts of higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream sales margins. The decrease in income had a direct impact on the company's U.S. income tax, resulting in a decrease in income tax expense of $737 million between the nine-month periods, from $1.8 billion in 2024 to $1.0 billion in 2025.

International income before tax decreased between the nine-month periods, from $14.5 billion in 2024 to $10.9 billion in 2025. This $3.7 billion decrease in income was primarily driven by lower affiliate income, asset sale impacts, and lower upstream realizations. The decrease in income had a direct impact on the company's international income tax, resulting in a decrease in income tax expense of $716 million between year-over-year periods, from $5.2 billion in 2024 to $4.5 billion in 2025.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

*Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities* totaled $7.7 billion at September 30, 2025, and $6.8 billion at year-end 2024. 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 nine months of 2025 was $23.2 billion, compared with $22.8 billion in the year-ago period. Between January and March 2025, Chevron purchased 15.38 million shares of Hess common stock in open market transactions for approximately $2.2 billion. Capital expenditures totaled $12.1 billion in the first nine months of 2025, in line with the year-ago period. Proceeds and deposits related to asset sales and returns of investment totaled $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2025, compared to $620 million in the year-ago period. Net repayment (borrowing) of loans by equity affiliates included an inflow of $798 million in the first nine months of 2025 due to a loan repayment from TCO, compared with an outflow of $157 million in the year-ago period.

*Dividends* The company paid dividends of $9.3 billion to common stockholders during the first nine months of 2025. In October 2025, the company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.71 per common share, payable in December 2025.

*Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities* Chevron's total debt and finance lease liabilities were $41.5 billion at September 30, 2025, up from $24.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The company issued $11.0 billion of public bonds and retired $3.3 billion of public bonds at maturity while reducing commercial paper balances. In third quarter 2025, the company also assumed $10.0 billion of debt and finance lease liabilities as part of the Hess acquisition, including approximately $3.7 billion related to Hess Midstream Operations LP that is non-recourse to Chevron Corporation.

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 September 30, 2025, was $4.8 billion, compared with $5.4 billion at December 31, 2024. 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 $11.8 billion at September 30, 2025, and $12.7 billion at December 31, 2024. Of these amounts, $8.25 billion was reclassified to long-term at both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, the company had $8.25 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 September 30, 2025. 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.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

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.

*Summarized Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries* CUSA issued bonds that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Chevron Corporation (together, the "Obligor Group"). The tables below contain summary financial information for Chevron Corporation, as Guarantor, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries, and CUSA, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries. The summary financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis, and transactions between the combined entities have been eliminated. Financial information for non-guarantor entities has been excluded.

*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 231.1 million shares for $35.5 billion under the 2023 Program, including 16.6 million shares repurchased for $2.6 billion in third quarter 2025. This excludes 15.38 million shares of Hess that were purchased for $2.2 billion in first quarter 2025 and cancelled in connection with the closing of the company's acquisition of Hess. In addition, the company paid $146 million in excise taxes related to 2024 buybacks in second quarter 2025. Chevron expects share repurchases in the fourth quarter 2025 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.

*Pension Obligations* Information related to pension plan contributions is included in <u>[Note 8 Employee Benefits](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_58)</u> to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Capital Expenditures* The company's capital expenditures (capex) primarily includes additions to fixed assets or investments for the company's consolidated subsidiaries and is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Capex was $12.1 billion in the first nine months of 2025, slightly lower than the $12.1 billion in the corresponding 2024 period. Lower spend in downstream businesses was largely offset by higher upstream investment related to legacy Hess assets and the acquisition of lithium acreage.

*Affiliate Capital Expenditures* The company's affiliate capital expenditures (affiliate capex) primarily includes additions to fixed assets or investments in the equity affiliate's financial statements and does not require cash outlays by the company. Third quarter 2025 affiliate capex was $136 million lower than third quarter 2024 and year-to-date 2025 affiliate capex was $455 million lower than the year-ago period due to lower spend at TCO.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_7)</u>

**Item 4.*Controls and Procedures***

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The company's management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In the third quarter of 2025, the company significantly progressed a multi-year implementation of an updated global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. As a result, the company made corresponding changes to its business processes and information systems, updating applicable internal control over financial reporting where necessary.

Except with respect to the ongoing implementation of ERP systems, there were no changes in the company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II**

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1.*Legal Proceedings***

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires disclosure of certain legal proceedings that involve governmental authorities as a party and that the company reasonably believes would result in $1.0 million or more of monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, under federal, state and local laws that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment. The following proceeding includes those matters relating to third quarter 2025 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in Chevron's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In February 2025, the United States Department of Justice notified Hess Corporation of alleged Clean Water Act violations relating to Hess's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit covering operations in Hess facilities in the Gulf of America. Resolution of the alleged violations may result in the payment of a civil penalty of $1.0 million or more.

Please see information related to other legal proceedings in <u>[Note 11 Litigation](#i6a82c3f96b84414a9a8645c29cc5c037_73)</u>.

**Item 1A.*Risk Factors***

Some inherent risks could materially impact the company's results of operations or financial condition. Information about risk factors for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, does not differ materially from that set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" on pages 20 through 27 of the company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than as reflected in the risk factor below.

***The Hess acquisition may cause Chevron's financial results to differ from the company's expectations or the expectations of the investment community, the company may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, and the acquisition may disrupt the company's current plans or operations.*** The success of the Hess acquisition, which closed in July 2025, will depend, in part, on Chevron's ability to successfully integrate the business of Hess and realize the anticipated benefits, including the anticipated run-rate cost synergies, estimated five-year production and free cash flow growth rates, among other anticipated benefits, and anticipated higher returns to shareholders over the long-term. Difficulties in integrating Hess may result in a failure to realize anticipated synergies in the expected timeframe, in operational challenges, and in the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business concerns as well as in unforeseen expenses associated with the acquisition, which may have an adverse impact on the company's financial results.

**6. GOVERNING LAW AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1**Governing Law**. The Agreement and its subject matter, and the contractual and non-contractual rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the foregoing, are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law rules, except that rules of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§1-16 (the "Act") govern this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2**Resolution of Disputes.** The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute using direct negotiations, mediation, and then arbitration as set out in Section 6.4. If any dispute arises out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to the other Party setting out, in writing and in detail, the issues in dispute and the value of the Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3**Mediation**. If the dispute cannot be resolved by direct negotiations within 30 days from the date of written notice initiating the dispute resolution process, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other Party. Mediation must be attended by a representative from each Party with decision-making authority. The place of mediation will be Houston, Texas.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4**Arbitration Proceedings.** If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 60 days from notice of mediation, then the dispute must be finally resolved by binding arbitration and either Party may initiate arbitration by giving notice to the other Party. One arbitrator (or three arbitrators if the monetary value of the dispute is more than US$5,000,000) will conduct the proceedings in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution ("CPR") Rules for Administered Arbitration which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or CPR Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement prevail. The CPR is the appointing authority for the arbitrator(s). The seat of arbitration will be New York, New York. All arbitration fees and costs will be paid equally, regardless of which Party prevails and each Party shall pay its own costs of legal representation and witness expenses. The arbitration award is final and binding, and the arbitrators should use their best efforts to issue the award within 90 days from completion of the arbitration hearing. Any communications and documents related to the dispute will be confidential and may not be disclosed to any Third Party or used for any other purposes, except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or to protect a legal right. Regardless of the Parties' requirement to arbitrate, any of the following may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction: proceedings to (A) preserve property pending determination by the arbitrator(s), (B) enforce the confidentiality or data

protection obligations under the Agreement, the failure of which to enforce the Parties agree would cause irreparable harm, or (C) to compel arbitration. Any prevailing Party in the arbitration may file an action to enforce a judgment entered on an arbitration award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11**Binding Effect; Assignment.** This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. The Hess Family Office may assign this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Hess Family Office under this Agreement to any other entity controlled by John B.

If the Hess Family Office assigns this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Hess Family Office under this Agreement to any other Person, the Hess Family Office must obtain Chevron's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any attempted assignment or transfer that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 7.11 is void. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Hess Family Office will remain responsible to the Chevron Parties for all obligations, indemnities and liabilities due to the Chevron Parties under this Agreement, unless and until such obligations, indemnities and liabilities are effectively assigned in accordance with this Section 7.11 or otherwise expressly released by Chevron.

A Party's failure to pursue remedies for breach of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by such Party of any breach of this Agreement or raise any defense against Claims against a Party for breach of this Agreement. The waiver or failure to require the performance of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or to pursue remedies for breach of this Agreement does not waive a later breach of that covenant or obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.14**Severability.** Each provision of this Agreement is severable and if any provision is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction or by operation of any Applicable Law, this invalidity, unenforceability or illegality does not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement that are valid, enforceable and legal. Upon such determination that any term or other provision or part of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.15**Drafting.** Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel and any other advisors of its choice to its satisfaction regarding the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As a result, the rule of construction that an agreement be construed against the drafter does not apply to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.16**Costs and Expenses.** Each Party will pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement and the documents contemplated or executed pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.18**Conflict**. This Agreement is made in accordance with and is subject to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement.

**15. GOVERNING LAW AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Governing Law**. The Agreement and its subject matter, and the contractual and non-contractual rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the foregoing, are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law rules, except that rules of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§1-16 (the "Act") govern this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.2**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Resolution of Disputes.** The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute using direct negotiations, mediation, and then arbitration as set out in Section 4. If any dispute arises out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to the other Party setting out, in writing and in detail, the issues in dispute and the value of the Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.3**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mediation**. If the dispute cannot be resolved by direct negotiations within 30 days from the date of written notice initiating the dispute resolution process, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.4**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arbitration Proceedings.** If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 60 days from notice of mediation, then the dispute must be finally resolved by binding arbitration and

either Party may initiate arbitration by giving notice to the other Party. One arbitrator (or three arbitrators if the monetary value of the dispute is more than US$5,000,000) will conduct the proceedings in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution ("CPR") Rules for Administered Arbitration which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or CPR Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement prevail. The CPR is the appointing authority for the arbitrator(s). The seat of arbitration will be New York, New York. All arbitration fees and costs will be paid equally, regardless of which Party prevails and each Party shall pay its own costs of legal representation and witness expenses. The arbitration award is final and binding, and the arbitrators should use their best efforts to issue the award within 90 days from completion of the arbitration hearing. Any communications and documents related to the dispute will be confidential and may not be disclosed to any Third Party or used for any other purposes, except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or to protect a legal right. Regardless of the Parties' requirement to arbitrate, any of the following may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction: proceedings to (A) preserve property pending determination by the arbitrator(s), (B) enforce the confidentiality or data protection obligations under the Agreement, the failure of which to enforce the Parties agree would cause irreparable harm, or (C) to compel arbitration. Any prevailing Party in the arbitration may file an action to enforce a judgment entered on an arbitration award.

**16. GENERAL PROVISIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Prior Agreements.** This Agreement comprise the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all oral and written communications, negotiations, representations or agreements in relation to that subject matter made or entered into before the Execution Date.

A Party's failure to pursue remedies for breach of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by such Party of any breach of this Agreement or raise any defense against Claims against a Party for breach of this Agreement. The waiver or failure to require the performance of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or to pursue remedies for breach of this Agreement does not waive a later breach of that covenant or obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.7 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Severability.** Each provision of this Agreement is severable and if any provision is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction or by operation of any Applicable Law, this invalidity, unenforceability or illegality does not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement that are valid, enforceable and legal. Upon such determination that any term or other provision or part of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transaction is fulfilled to the extent possible.
