EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned as a leading integrated downstream energy provider operating with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, Marketing and Specialties (M&S) and Renewable Fuels segments. At March 31, 2026, we had total assets of $84.1 billion. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSX.
Executive Overview
In the first quarter of 2026, we reported earnings of $207 million. In response to the sharp increases in commodity prices and to preserve liquidity, we had net debt borrowings of $7.7 billion and increased our cash and cash equivalents by $4 billion. We used available cash to fund operating activities of $2.3 billion, capital expenditures and investments of $582 million, dividend payments to common stockholders of $509 million and repurchases of our common stock of $269 million. The use of cash in operating activities was primarily due to unfavorable net working capital impacts, which was primarily driven by an increase in inventory and higher accounts receivable, partially offset by higher accounts payable; as well as, the funding of approximately $3 billion of cash collateral on derivative positions. As of March 31, 2026, we had $5.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $0.8 billion of total committed capacity available under our credit facilities.
Strategic Priorities Update
In early 2025, we announced the next phase of the company's strategic priorities along with financial and operational performance targets through year-end 2027. These targets demonstrate the company's continued focus on world-class operations; disciplined growth and returns; financial strength and flexibility and shareholder returns.
World-Class Operations - We are focused on operational and cost reduction targets driving world-class operations across our portfolio. Optimizing utilization rates and product yield at our refineries through reliable and safe operations will enable us to capture the value available in the market in terms of prices and margins. We remain focused on a competitive cost structure and plan to enhance Refining segment returns and increase our utilization rates by focusing on low-capital, higher-return projects that increase asset reliability and improve market capture.
We continue to focus on Refining performance, targeting an annual clean product yield of greater than 86%, crude oil capacity utilization rates higher than industry average and continuing to improve our competitive cost structure.
Disciplined Growth and Returns - A disciplined capital allocation process ensures we make investments that are expected to generate competitive returns. Our strategy remains focused on growing our Midstream and Chemicals businesses. Within our Midstream segment, we are primarily focused on maximizing the value of our fully integrated natural gas liquids (NGL) wellhead-to-market value chain.
We budgeted $2.4 billion for 2026 capital expenditures and investments, exclusive of acquisitions and our share of capital spending by equity affiliates. This includes $1.3 billion of growth capital, primarily in our Midstream segment.
Our financial targets through 2027 reflect our plans to organically grow our Midstream and Chemicals businesses, as well as maintain total annual capital expenditures and investments of approximately $2.5 billion.
Financial Strength and Flexibility - We use a variety of funding sources to support our liquidity requirements, including cash from operations, debt and proceeds from dispositions. Our focus remains on protecting the stable cash generation from the Midstream and M&S businesses while evaluating future opportunities to optimize our portfolio.
We are targeting reductions of total debt to $17 billion and reductions of our debt-to-capital ratio by the end of 2027.
Shareholder Returns - We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, complemented by share repurchases. Our financial target aims to return greater than 50% of net cash provided by operating activities, excluding working capital, to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. This amount and timing of future dividend payments and the level and timing of future share repurchases is subject to the discretion of, and approval by, our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
In February and April 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share, reflecting our commitment to a secure, competitive and growing dividend.
Business Environment
During March 2026, the business environment in which we operate was impacted by significant movements in commodity prices as a result of geopolitical events in the Middle East. The global crude oil market quickly shifted into structural deficit and the disruption materially reduced crude oil and refined products from the markets, pushing benchmark crude oil prices at the end of the quarter above $100 per barrel. In addition, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and petrochemical markets have materially tightened. While these impacts were most notable during the last month of the quarter, due to the uncertainty regarding duration, continued disruptions could materially impact our future results.
Below is a discussion of additional factors impacting our environment during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025.
Our Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL and natural gas prices. The weighted-average NGL price was $0.62 per gallon during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $0.74 per gallon during the first quarter of 2025. The Henry Hub natural gas price was $4.87 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $4.27 per MMBtu during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in NGL prices was primarily due to increased supply, while the increase in natural gas prices was due to increased liquified natural gas exports as U.S. export infrastructure increases.
Our Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. The benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin was 10.7 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 10.9 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to higher ethane prices, partially driven by rising natural gas prices, and continued industry capacity additions supporting higher global demand.
Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity and other operating costs. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. The composite 3:2:1 market crack spread for our business increased to an average of $20.56 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, from an average of $15.83 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the composite market crack spread was primarily driven by stronger petroleum diesel demand, supported by low seasonal inventories, and geopolitical events reducing global product resupply. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average of $71.98 per barrel during the first quarter of 2026, from an average of $71.46 per barrel during the first quarter of 2025. The increase in crude oil prices was primarily driven by geopolitical events in the Middle East restricting global crude supply.
Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices and, where applicable, retail prices for refined products in the regions and countries where we operate.
Our Renewable Fuels segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable products at the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex (Rodeo Complex) and at our Humber Refinery. In addition, this segment includes global activities to procure renewable feedstocks, manage certain regulatory credits, and market renewable fuels. Results for our Renewable Fuels segment are impacted by several factors, including the market price of renewable fuels, feedstock costs, throughput, operating costs and the value of certain regulatory credits, as well as other market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, discussion of results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, is based on a comparison with the corresponding period of 2025.
Consolidated Results
A summary of income (loss) before income taxes by business segment with a reconciliation to net income attributable to Phillips 66 follows:
Millions of Dollars
Three Months Ended March 31
2026 2025
Midstream $ 591 751
Chemicals 114 113
Refining 208 (937)
Marketing and Specialties (161) 1,282
Renewable Fuels (41) (185)
Corporate and Other (451) (376)
Income before income taxes 260 648
Income tax expense 41 122
Net income 219 526
Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 12 39
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 $ 207 487
Net income attributable to Phillips 66 in the first quarter of 2026 was $207 million, compared with $487 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a before-tax gain of $1 billion associated with the sale of our investment in Coop Mineraloel AG (Coop) recognized in January 2025 in the M&S segment and lower U.S. and international marketing fuel margins, mainly driven by commodity derivative activities. These decreases were partially offset by higher realized refining margins during the first quarter of 2026 and $246 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in the first quarter of 2025 associated with the cessation of fuel production and idling of the Los Angeles Refinery.
The increase in realized refining margins was primarily due to higher market crack spreads and increased feedstock advantage, partially offset by higher Renewable Identification Number (RIN) costs and commodity derivative activities.
See Note 6-Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of our investment in Coop. See Note 7-Properties, Plants and Equipment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding accelerated depreciation. See Note 13-Derivatives and Financial Instruments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on commodity derivative activity.
See the "Segment Results" section for additional information on our segment results.
Statement of Income Analysis
Sales and other operating revenues increased 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to higher refined petroleum product sales volumes, partially offset by losses from commodity derivative activity. Purchased crude oil and products increased 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to losses from commodity derivative activity and higher crude oil purchase volumes. See Note 13-Derivatives and Financial Instruments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to equity losses from WRB Refining LP (WRB) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to no equity earnings impact from WRB in the first quarter of 2026 after we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in WRB on October 1, 2025. See Note 2-Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the WRB acquisition.
Net gain on dispositions decreased $1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a before-tax gain of $1 billion associated with the sale of our investment in Coop recognized in January 2025 in the M&S segment. See Note 6-Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of Coop.
Other income increased $148 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by higher results from trading activities and increased sales of Clean Fuel Production credits.
Operating expenses increased $259 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to our acquisition of WRB in October 2025, partially offset by lower turnaround costs.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to $246 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in the first quarter of 2025 associated with the cessation of fuel production and idling of the Los Angeles Refinery. See Note 7-Properties, Plants and Equipment, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest and debt expense increased 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to higher average debt balances.
Income tax expense decreased 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to lower income before income taxes. See Note 20-Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our effective income tax rates.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to impacts from the gain on sale of DCP Midstream, LP's (DCP LP's) equity investment in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (GCX) recorded in January 2025. See Note 6-Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Olefins and Polyolefins Capacity Utilization (percent) 94 % 100
The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals. CPChem produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products. Ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe. CPChem manufactures and/or markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene and polystyrene, as well as manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products. Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50% interest in CPChem.
Results from the Chemicals segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were in line with results for the three months ended March 31, 2025; however, market conditions impacted the Chemicals segment in the 2026 period. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to higher ethylene sales volumes, which were largely offset by reduced margins. The decrease in margins was driven by lower sales prices, partially offset by an inventory adjustment.

*** In the fourth quarter 2025, we ceased fuel production and began idling the facilities at our Los Angeles Refinery, and the associated crude oil capacity is excluded from the statistics above beginning on October 1, 2025.
The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasoline and distillates, including aviation fuels, at 10 refineries in the United States and Europe.
Results from our Refining segment increased $1,145 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily driven by improved realized margins and $246 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in the first quarter of 2025 associated with the cessation of fuel production and idling of the Los Angeles Refinery. The increase in realized margins was primarily due to higher market crack spreads and increased feedstock advantage. These increases are partially offset by higher RIN costs and impacts of commodity derivative activities. See Note 13-Derivatives and Financial Instruments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on commodity derivative activity.
Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 95% and 80% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to lower turnaround activity.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Corporate overhead and other includes general and administrative expenses, technology costs, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, restructuring costs related to our business transformation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, activities associated with the decommissioning and redevelopment of our idled Los Angeles Refinery site are also included in corporate overhead and other. Corporate and Other also includes the change in the fair value of our investment in NOVONIX. See Note 14-Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in NOVONIX.
Net interest expense increased $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to higher average debt balances.
Corporate overhead and other costs increased $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to costs associated with the decommissioning and redevelopment of our idled Los Angeles Refinery site and higher employee-related expenses. These were partially offset by lower depreciation expense associated with information technology assets and charges associated with canceled projects, both recorded in the first quarter of 2025.

* Capital includes total debt and total equity.
To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we use a variety of funding sources but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities and debt financing. During the first three months of 2026, we had net debt borrowings of $7.7 billion and increased cash and cash equivalents by $4 billion. We used cash to fund operating activities of $2.3 billion, capital expenditures and investments of $582 million, paid $509 million of dividends to our common stockholders, and repurchased $269 million of our common stock. At this time, we believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described herein, will be sufficient to fund our obligations over the short- and long-term.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During the first three months of 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 billion, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $187 million for the first three months of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable working capital impacts, mostly driven by an increase in inventory and higher accounts receivable as well as funding of approximately $3 billion of cash collateral on derivative positions, largely due to a sharp increase in commodity prices during the quarter. These decreases in working capital were partially offset by higher accounts payable.
Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level and quality of output from our refineries also impacts our cash flows. Factors such as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability and weather conditions can affect output. We actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by fluctuations in margins and prices.
Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates. During the first three months of 2026, cash from operations included aggregate distributions of $166 million from our equity affiliates, while cash from operations during the first three months of 2025 included aggregate distributions of $273 million from our equity affiliates. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these equity affiliates are not assured.

On March 18, 2026 (the Term Loan Closing Date), Phillips 66 Company entered into a 364-day, $2.25 billion term loan agreement guaranteed by Phillips 66 (the Term Loan Agreement). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a single borrowing on the Term Loan Closing Date and matures 364 days after the Term Loan Closing Date. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants similar to those contained in our revolving credit agreement, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Term Loan Agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at either: (a) the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in effect from time to time plus an applicable margin of 1.100%; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Term Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin of 0.100%. At March 31, 2026, the entire $2.25 billion was borrowed under the Term Loan Agreement, which matures in March 2027.
Accounts Receivable Securitization
On September 30, 2024, Phillips 66 Company entered into a 364-day, $500 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the Receivables Securitization Facility). Under the Receivables Securitization Facility, Phillips 66 Company sells or contributes on an ongoing basis, certain of its receivables, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to its wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips 66 Receivables LLC (P66 Receivables), a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the Receivables Securitization Facility. During 2025, Phillips 66 Company amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum size of the Receivables Securitization Facility to $1.25 billion and extend the term of the facility through September 28, 2026. On March 13, 2026, Phillips 66 Company amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum size of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $1.25 billion to $1.75 billion and permit P66 Receivables to request a future increase in the maximum facility size to up to $2.0 billion. Under the amended Receivables Securitization Facility, P66 Receivables may borrow and incur indebtedness from, and/or sell certain accounts receivable in an amount not to exceed $1.75 billion in the aggregate, and will secure its obligations with a pledge of undivided interests in such receivables, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties thereunder. Accounts receivable outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility accrue interest at an adjusted term SOFR plus the applicable margin. In all instances, Phillips 66 Company retains the servicing of the accounts receivables transferred.
Accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Securitization Facility meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. P66 Receivables guarantees payment, in full, for accounts receivable sold to the purchasers. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold $264 million of accounts receivable in exchange for a $264 million reduction in our borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility, which was recognized as a non-cash financing transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold $130 million of accounts receivables for cash proceeds under the Receivables Securitization Facility. We recognized immaterial charges associated with the transfers of financial assets, which are included as a component within the line item "Selling, general and administrative expense" on our consolidated statement of income, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility are recognized as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. Borrowings are secured by the accounts receivable, held by P66 Receivables, which remain reported as accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $384 million and $200 million, respectively. These borrowings were secured by accounts receivable held by P66 Receivables of $5.4 billion and $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are included within the "Accounts and notes receivable" line item on our consolidated balance sheet.
At March 31, 2026, we had utilized $650 million of the $1.75 billion capacity of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $266 million of sold accounts receivable not yet remitted to the Administrative Agent and $384 million of outstanding borrowings. At December 31, 2025, we had utilized $367 million of the $1.25 billion capacity of the Receivables Securitization Facility from $167 million of sold accounts receivable not yet remitted to the Administrative Agent and $200 million of outstanding borrowings.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
In addition to the Receivables Securitization Facility, discussed in Note 9-Debt, the Company maintains other accounts receivable factoring facilities with various financial institutions that enable the Company to sell certain eligible accounts receivable to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis in which we retain the servicing of the accounts receivable transferred. Sales of accounts receivable under these facilities meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. Cash receipts from the sale of accounts receivable, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold $330 million of accounts receivable for cash proceeds under these facilities. We recognized immaterial charges associated with these transfers, which are included as a component within the line item "Selling, general and administrative expense" on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We had $292 million and $195 million of sold accounts receivable uncollected as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and these amounts were derecognized from our consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company
On January 13, 2025, we entered into a $200 million uncommitted credit facility (the 2025 Uncommitted Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor. The 2025 Uncommitted Facility contains covenants and events of default customary for unsecured uncommitted facilities. The 2025 Uncommitted Facility has no commitment fees or compensating balance requirements. Outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Uncommitted Facility bear interest at a rate of either (a) the adjusted term SOFR plus the applicable margin, (b) the adjusted daily simple SOFR plus the applicable margin or (c) the base rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. Each borrowing matures six months from the date of such borrowing. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. On March 26, 2026, Phillips 66 amended the 2025 Uncommitted Facility to increase the capacity by $100 million. At March 31, 2026, the entire $300 million was outstanding, while at December 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the 2025 Uncommitted Facility.
On June 25, 2024, we entered into a $400 million uncommitted credit facility (the 2024 Uncommitted Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor. The 2024 Uncommitted Facility contains covenants and events of default customary for unsecured uncommitted facilities. The 2024 Uncommitted Facility has no commitment fees or compensating balance requirements. Outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Uncommitted Facility bear interest at a rate of either (a) the adjusted term SOFR, (b) the adjusted daily simple SOFR or (c) the reference rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. Each borrowing matures six months from the date of such borrowing. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the 2024 Uncommitted Facility.
On February 28, 2024, we entered into a new $5 billion revolving credit agreement (the Facility) with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor and a scheduled maturity date of February 28, 2029. The Facility replaced our previous $5 billion revolving credit facility dated as of June 23, 2022, with Phillips 66 Company as the borrower and Phillips 66 as the guarantor, and the previous revolving credit facility was terminated. The Facility contains customary covenants similar to the previous revolving credit facility, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Facility has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after grace periods; and violation of covenants. We may at any time prepay outstanding borrowings under the Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. We have the option to increase the overall capacity to $6 billion, subject to certain conditions. We also have the option to extend the scheduled maturity of the Facility for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to, among other things, the consent of the lenders holding the majority of the commitments and of each lender extending its commitment. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either: (a) the adjusted term SOFR (as described in the Facility) in effect from time to time plus the applicable margin; or (b) the reference rate (as described in the Facility) plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for the commitment fee and interest-rate margins are determined based on the ratings in effect for our senior unsecured long-term debt from time to time. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, no amount had been drawn under the Facility.
Phillips 66 also has a $5 billion uncommitted commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs that is supported by the Facility. Commercial paper maturities are contractually limited to less than one year. At March 31, 2026, we had $5 billion borrowings outstanding under this program, while at December 31, 2025, $200 million of commercial paper had been issued under this program.
Total Committed Capacity Available
At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had approximately $0.8 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively, of total committed capacity available under the credit facilities described above. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had $6 billion and $6.8 billion of total liquidity, respectively, including cash and cash equivalents and total committed capacity available under credit facilities. Although our total liquidity remained strong, given the uncertainty from geopolitical events in the Middle East during the first quarter of 2026 we shifted to prioritizing cash and cash equivalents over committed capacity available under credit facilities.
Investment Dispositions
On January 31, 2025, we sold our 49% ownership interest in Coop and settled the foreign currency forward contracts entered into in connection with the asset sale. We received cash proceeds of $1.2 billion, consisting of a sales price of $1.15 billion and a final dividend relating to financial year 2024 of $92 million from Coop that was paid on January 30, 2025.
On January 30, 2025, DCP LP sold its 25% ownership interest in GCX for cash proceeds of $853 million.
See Note 6-Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding investment dispositions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Residual Value Guarantees
Under the operating lease agreement for our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, we have the option, at the end of the lease term in September 2030, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility or assist the lessor in marketing it for resale. This agreement includes a residual value guarantee with a maximum potential future exposure of $404 million at March 31, 2026. In addition, we have residual value guarantees associated with railcar, airplane and truck leases with maximum potential future exposures totaling $176 million. These leases have remaining terms of one to ten years.
Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO)
In 2020, the trial court presiding over litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addressing environmental impacts from an easement allowing the passage of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. Later in 2020, the trial court vacated the easement, but operations have been allowed to continue while the USACE proceeds with the EIS as ordered. The Tribe's requests for a shutdown have been denied. In March 2025, the trial court dismissed a second lawsuit filed by the Tribe, again challenging USACE's allowance of pipeline operations while the EIS process proceeds. The Tribe's lawsuit was premature, and the trial court held that it cannot be refiled until after a final EIS is issued.
In December 2025, the USACE published its final EIS, completing its analysis of alternatives. The final EIS evaluates five alternatives: two no-action alternatives (denial with restoration or abandonment) and three action alternatives, with one marked as USACE's preferred alternative, that would grant the easement under varying conditions. The preferred alternative would grant the easement subject to the same conditions as the 2017 easement but would authorize an increased throughput volume of 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), up from the previous 570,000 bpd under the original authorization. The remaining action alternatives would impose either additional operational conditions or require an alternate pipeline route, both of which may entail substantial implementation costs and could have a material impact on our financial statements.
We are still awaiting a Record of Decision (ROD), which will provide a definitive statement of the selected alternative and any related conditions. The Tribe and affiliated parties may file a new lawsuit in Washington, D.C., challenging the ROD shortly after it is issued. Most recently, the Tribe has appealed the dismissal, but the issuance of the ROD will supersede and effectively moot the appeal.
Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of senior unsecured notes issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access. At March 31, 2026, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Dakota Access' senior unsecured notes was $850 million.
In addition, Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners), a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, and its co-venturers in Dakota Access also provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering. Under the CECU, the co-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access if there is an unfavorable final judgment in the above-mentioned ongoing litigation. At March 31, 2026, our 25% share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU was approximately $215 million. If the pipeline is required to cease operations, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Should operations cease and Dakota Access and ETCO not have sufficient funds to pay its expenses, we also could be required to support our 25% share of the ongoing expenses, including scheduled interest payments on the notes of approximately $10 million annually, in addition to the potential obligations under the CECU at March 31, 2026.
See Note 6-Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables for additional information regarding our investments in Dakota Access and ETCO and Note 11-Guarantees for additional information regarding our guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital Requirements
Capital Expenditures and Investments
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the "Capital Spending" section below.

On February 17, 2026, upon maturity, Phillips 66 repaid the remaining $100 million outstanding on its 1.300% Senior Notes due February 2026, with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million.
Acquisition
On April 28, 2026, we acquired the assets and associated infrastructure of the Lindsey Oil Refinery for a purchase price of approximately $115 million, subject to certain closing adjustments including, but not limited to, the purchase of the associated inventory with the assets acquired.
Dividends
On February 11, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share. This dividend was paid on March 4, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 25, 2026. On April 17, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share. This dividend is payable on June 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026.
Share Repurchases
Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $25 billion of repurchases of our outstanding common stock under our share repurchase program. Our share repurchase authorizations do not expire. Any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 2 million shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.3 billion. Since July 2012, we have repurchased 249 million shares under our share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $23.0 billion. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.
Employee Benefit Plan Contributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we contributed $10 million to our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plan. We currently expect to make additional contributions of approximately $190 million to our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans and approximately $4 million to our international pension plans during the remainder of 2026.

** Includes cost associated with the redevelopment of our idled Los Angeles Refinery site.
*** Our share of joint ventures' capital spending.
Midstream
During the first three months of 2026, capital spending in our Midstream segment was $343 million and included:
Sanctioned construction of a new gas processing plant in the Permian and associated supporting infrastructure.
Gathering and processing projects to further align our wellhead-to-market strategy.
Spending associated with other reliability and maintenance projects in our Transportation and NGL businesses.
Chemicals
During the first three months of 2026, on a 100% basis, CPChem's capital expenditures and investments were $266 million. Capital spending was primarily for the development of petrochemical projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the Middle East, as well as sustaining, debottlenecking and optimization projects on existing assets. CPChem's capital program was self-funded, and we expect CPChem to continue self-funding its capital program for the remainder of 2026.

Capital spending for the Refining segment during the first three months of 2026 was $210 million. Major capital activities included spend to improve reliability at our refineries and installation of facilities to improve market capture, product value and utilization.
Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the first three months of 2026 was $9 million, primarily for the continued development and enhancement of retail sites in the United Kingdom and marketing-related information technology enhancements.
Renewable Fuels
Capital spending for the Renewable Fuels segment during the first three months of 2026 was $10 million. The capital spending was focused on product mix optimization, logistics and improving feed flexibility on existing assets.
Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the first three months of 2026 was $10 million, primarily related to redevelopment costs for the idled Los Angeles Refinery site, as well as information technology.
Contingencies
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is uncertain.
Other than with respect to the legal matters described herein, based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations, respectively. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor legal proceedings. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.
Propel Fuels Litigation
In late 2017, as part of Phillips 66 Company's evaluation of various opportunities in the renewable fuels business, Phillips 66 Company engaged with Propel Fuels, Inc. (Propel Fuels), a California company that distributes E85 and other alternative fuels through fueling kiosks. Ultimately, the parties were not able to reach an agreement, and negotiations were terminated in August 2018. On February 17, 2022, Propel Fuels filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda (the Propel Court), alleging that Phillips 66 Company misappropriated trade secrets related to Propel Fuels' renewable fuels business during and after due diligence. On October 16, 2024, a jury returned a verdict against Phillips 66 Company for $604.9 million in compensatory damages and issued a willfulness finding. Based on the willfulness finding, Propel Fuels asked the Propel Court to award $1.2 billion in exemplary damages, and Phillips 66 Company filed a brief in opposition to that request. A hearing on exemplary damages was held on March 4, 2025, and the Propel Court awarded Propel Fuels $195 million in exemplary damages on July 30, 2025. On August 5, 2025, the Propel Court entered a final judgment against Phillips 66 Company in the amount of $833 million. The judgment includes the $604.9 million jury verdict, $195 million of exemplary damages, and $33.3 million of pre-judgment interest at 7%. From the date of final judgment, post-judgment interest of 10% is accruing, which is included within the "Selling, general and administrative expenses" line on our consolidated statement of income and reported in the M&S segment. On August 25, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed three post-trial motions requesting that the Propel Court render judgment in favor of Phillips 66 Company, grant a new trial, and/or reduce the damages award. On October 20, 2025, the Propel Court denied Phillips 66 Company's motions. On November 14, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed its Notice of Appeal, which has been assigned to Division Two of the First District Court of Appeal. Phillips 66 Company intends to file its opening appellate brief in accordance with the applicable appellate deadlines and any extensions thereto. Separately, on October 24, 2025, Propel Fuels filed additional motions with the Propel Court seeking attorney's fees and costs. Phillips 66 Company filed its opposition to that request on January 13, 2026. The Propel Court heard argument on the motions on February 10, 2026, and took the motions under submission. Phillips 66 Company denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend its position.
The accrued amounts totaling $887 million and $867 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are reflected as "Other liabilities and deferred credits" on our consolidated balance sheet. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. If information were to become available that would allow us to reasonably estimate a range of potential exposure in an amount higher or lower than the amount already accrued, we would adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. While Phillips 66 Company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. Until the final resolution of this matter, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Environmental
Like other companies in our industry, we are subject to numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. For a discussion of the most significant international and federal environmental laws and regulations to which we are subject, see the "Environmental" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We can fulfill our obligation under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) through blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produce, producing renewable fuels at the Rodeo Complex, or through purchasing RINs on the open market. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred expenses of $159 million associated with our obligation to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with the RFS for our wholly owned refineries. These expenses are included within the "Purchased crude oil and products" line item on our consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we primarily fulfilled our obligation under RFS through blending renewable fuels into the motor fuels we produced or by renewable fuels produced at the Rodeo Complex and incurred no expenses to purchase RINs in the open market to comply with RFS for our wholly owned refineries. Prior to the acquisition of WRB in October 2025, our jointly owned refineries also incurred expenses associated with the purchase of RINs in the open market, of which our share was $74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. These expenses are included within the "Equity in earnings of affiliates" line item on our consolidated statement of income. The amount of these expenses and fluctuations between periods is primarily driven by the market price of RINs, refinery and renewable fuels production, blending activities and renewable volume obligation requirements.
We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. At December 31, 2025, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 17 sites within the United States and Puerto Rico. There were no changes reported during the first quarter of 2026, thus, leaving 17 unresolved sites with potential liability at March 31, 2026.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in certain of our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that those costs and liabilities will not be material. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.
Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws regulating GHG emissions continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency reviews or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products.
For examples of legislation and regulation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations, see the "Climate Change" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We consider and take into account anticipated future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and we implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce GHG emissions. Data on our GHG emissions, legal requirements regulating such emissions and the possible physical effects of climate change on our coastal assets are incorporated into our planning, investment and risk management decision-making. We are working to continuously improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation efforts throughout our operations.
GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have various cross guarantees between Phillips 66 and its wholly owned subsidiary Phillips 66 Company (together, the Obligor Group) with respect to publicly held debt securities. Phillips 66 conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Phillips 66 Company, and those subsidiaries generate substantially all of its operating income and cash flow. Phillips 66 has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 Company with respect to its publicly held debt securities. In addition, Phillips 66 Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 with respect to its publicly held debt securities. All guarantees are full and unconditional. At March 31, 2026, $15.9 billion of publicly held debt securities has been guaranteed by the Obligor Group.
Summarized financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis. Intercompany transactions among the members of the Obligor Group have been eliminated. The financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries has been excluded from the summarized financial information. Significant intercompany transactions and receivable/payable balances between the Obligor Group and non-guarantor subsidiaries are presented separately in the summarized financial information.
The summarized results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the summarized financial position at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, for the Obligor Group on a combined basis were:

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

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