Note 3—Investments and Long-Term Receivables
Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd. (APLNG)
In Australia, we hold a 47.5 percent shareholding interest in APLNG. At March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of APLNG's debt was $3.1 billion. The last principal and interest payment on the debt is due in September 2032. See Note 5.
At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of our equity method investment in APLNG was approximately $5.0 billion.
Port Arthur LNG (PALNG)
We hold a 30 percent direct equity investment in PALNG, a joint venture for the development of a large-scale LNG facility.
At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of our equity method investment in PALNG was approximately $1.6 billion.
Qatar LNG
Our equity method investments in Qatar include the following:
•QatarEnergy LNG N(3) (N3)—30 percent owned joint venture with affiliates of QatarEnergy (68.5 percent) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (1.5 percent)—produces and liquefies natural gas from Qatar’s North Field, as well as exports LNG.
•QatarEnergy LNG NFE(4) (NFE4)—25 percent owned joint venture with affiliates of QatarEnergy (70 percent) and China National Petroleum Corporation (5 percent)—participant in the North Field East LNG project.
•QatarEnergy LNG NFS(3) (NFS3)—25 percent owned joint venture with an affiliate of QatarEnergy (75 percent)—participant in the North Field South LNG project.
At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of our equity method investments in Qatar was approximately $1.8 billion.
Note 4—Debt
Our debt balance at March 31, 2026, was $23.3 billion, compared with $23.4 billion at December 31, 2025.
In the first quarter of 2026, the company retired $67 million principal amount of our 6.875% Notes at maturity.
At March 31, 2026, we had $283 million of certain variable rate demand bonds (VRDBs) outstanding with maturities ranging through 2035. The VRDBs are redeemable at the option of the bondholders on any business day. If they are ever redeemed, we have the ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis; therefore, the VRDBs are included in the “Long-term debt” line on our consolidated balance sheet.

Note 5—Guarantees
At March 31, 2026, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.
APLNG Guarantees
We have multiple outstanding guarantees in connection with our 47.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. These guarantees have remaining terms of to 20 years, and the maximum potential future payments related to these guarantees are approximately $1,680 million. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $49 million.
QatarEnergy LNG Guarantees
We have guaranteed our portion of certain fiscal and other joint venture obligations as a shareholder in NFE4 and NFS3. These guarantees have an approximate 30-year term with no maximum limit. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $14 million.
Equatorial Guinea Guarantees
We have guaranteed payment obligations as a shareholder in both Equatorial Guinea LNG Operations, S.A., a fully owned subsidiary of Equatorial Guinea LNG Holdings Limited, and Alba Plant LLC with regard to certain agreements to process third-party gas. These guarantees have two years remaining, and the maximum potential future payments related to these guarantees are approximately $116 million. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $4 million.
Other Guarantees
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $560 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased office buildings and guarantees of the residual value of corporate aircraft. These guarantees have remaining terms of to five years and would become payable if certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts at the end of the lease or contract term, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities or as a result of nonperformance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties. At March 31, 2026, there was no liability recognized for these guarantees.
Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into agreements to sell ownership interests in certain legal entities, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. These agreements include indemnifications for taxes and environmental liabilities. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnification obligations at March 31, 2026, was approximately $30 million. Those related to environmental issues have terms that are generally indefinite, and the maximum amounts of future payments are generally unlimited. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. See Note 6 for additional information about environmental liabilities.
Note 6—Contingencies, Commitments and Accrued Environmental Costs
A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed against ConocoPhillips. 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 accounting 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 low end of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. We accrue receivables for insurance or other third-party recoveries when applicable. With respect to income tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.
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
7 | ConocoPhillips 2026 Q1 10-Q | |||||||
| Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | |||||
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 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.
Environmental
We are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates. These estimates are based on currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience and data released by the U.S. EPA or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.
Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for other sites, we are usually only one of many companies cited at a particular site. Due to the joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the U.S. EPA or the agency concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we adjust our accruals accordingly. As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit, and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar limits and time limits.
We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and other comparable state and international sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an undiscounted basis (except those acquired in a business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries.
For remediation activities in the U.S. and Canada, our consolidated balance sheet included total accrued environmental costs of $230 million at March 31, 2026, compared with $220 million at December 31, 2025. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.
Litigation and Other Contingencies
We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including, but not limited to, matters involving oil and gas royalty and severance tax payments, gas measurement and valuation methods, contract disputes, environmental damages, climate change, personal injury and property damage. Our primary exposures for such matters relate to alleged royalty and tax underpayments on certain federal, state and privately owned properties, claims of alleged environmental contamination and damages from historic operations and climate change. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track 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.

We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at March 31, 2026, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $391 million (issued as direct bank letters of credit) related to various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, commercial activities and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business.
In 2007, the government of Venezuela expropriated ConocoPhillips’ interests in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy oil ventures, as well as the offshore Corocoro development project. In response, ConocoPhillips initiated international arbitration proceedings before the ICSID. In March 2019, an ICSID tribunal unanimously ordered the government of Venezuela to pay ConocoPhillips approximately $8.7 billion (later reduced to $8.5 billion) plus interest for the unlawful expropriation of the projects. On January 22, 2025, an ICSID annulment committee dismissed Venezuela’s application to annul the tribunal’s decision and upheld the $8.5 billion award plus interest in full. Separate arbitrations before the ICC resulted in additional awards against Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) and three of its affiliates, including an award for approximately $2 billion plus interest, for the Petrozuata and Hamaca projects, and a $33 million award, for the Corocoro project, plus interest. Cumulatively, as of March 31, 2026, the company has received approximately $795 million in connection with the first ICC award. Collection actions for all three awards are ongoing. ConocoPhillips has ensured that all actions related to these arbitration awards meet all appropriate U.S. regulatory requirements, including those related to any applicable sanctions imposed by the U.S. against Venezuela.
Beginning in 2017, governmental entities and individuals in several states/territories in the U.S. have filed lawsuits against oil and gas companies, including ConocoPhillips, seeking compensatory damages and equitable relief to abate alleged climate change related impacts. Additional lawsuits with similar allegations are expected to be filed. The legal and factual issues are unprecedented; therefore, there is significant uncertainty about the scope of the claims and alleged damages and any potential impact on the company’s financial condition. ConocoPhillips believes these lawsuits are factually and legally meritless and are an inappropriate vehicle to address the challenges associated with climate change and will vigorously defend against such lawsuits.
Several Louisiana parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed numerous lawsuits under Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA) against oil and gas companies, including ConocoPhillips, seeking compensatory damages for contamination and erosion of the Louisiana coastline allegedly caused by historical oil and gas operations. ConocoPhillips entities are defendants in several of the lawsuits and will vigorously defend against them. Because plaintiffs’ SLCRMA theories are unprecedented, there is uncertainty about these claims (both as to scope and damages), and we continue to evaluate our exposure in these lawsuits while assessing options for early resolution.
In October 2020, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) ordered the prior owners of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lease P-0166, including ConocoPhillips, to decommission the lease facilities, including two offshore platforms located near Carpinteria, California. This order was sent after the current owner of OCS Lease P-0166 relinquished the lease and abandoned the lease platforms and facilities. BSEE’s order to ConocoPhillips is premised on its connection to Phillips Petroleum Company, a legacy company of ConocoPhillips, which held a historical 25 percent interest in this lease and operated these facilities but sold its interest approximately 30 years ago. ConocoPhillips continues to evaluate its exposure in this matter.
In July 2021, a federal securities class action was filed against Concho Resources Inc. (Concho), certain of Concho’s officers, and ConocoPhillips as Concho’s successor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On October 21, 2021, the court issued an order appointing Utah Retirement Systems and the Construction Laborers Pension Trust for Southern California as lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs). On January 7, 2022, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint alleging that Concho made materially false and misleading statements regarding its business and operations in violation of the federal securities laws and seeking unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, equitable/injunctive relief and such other relief that may be deemed appropriate. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on March 8, 2022. On June 23, 2023, the court denied defendants’ motion as to most defendants including Concho/ConocoPhillips. On April 7, 2025, the court certified a class. We believe the allegations in the action are without merit and are vigorously defending this litigation.

Note 7—Derivative and Financial Instruments
We use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to meet our customer needs, capture market opportunities and manage foreign exchange currency risk.
Commodity Derivative Instruments
Our commodity business primarily consists of natural gas, crude oil, bitumen, NGLs, LNG and power.
Commodity derivative instruments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Where these balances have the right of setoff, they are presented on a net basis. Related cash flows are recorded as operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. On our consolidated income statement, gains and losses are recognized either on a gross basis if directly related to our physical business or a net basis if held for trading. Gains and losses related to contracts that meet and are designated with the NPNS exception are recognized upon settlement. We generally apply this exception to eligible crude contracts and certain gas contracts. We do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives.
The following table presents the gross fair values of our commodity derivatives, excluding collateral, on our consolidated balance sheet:

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
In 2023, PALNG executed interest rate swaps that had the effect of converting 60 percent of the projected term loans outstanding to finance the cost of development and construction of Phase 1 from floating- to fixed-rate. In 2024, PALNG dedesignated a portion of the interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedge and the remaining portion was dedesignated during the first quarter of 2025. Changes in the fair value of the dedesignated hedging instruments are reported in the “Equity in earnings of affiliates” line on our consolidated income statement.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, we recognized a loss of $9 million and a gain of $15 million, respectively, in “Equity in earnings of affiliates” related to the swaps.

Credit Risk
Financial instruments subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily include cash equivalents, short‑ and long‑term investments in high‑quality debt securities, OTC derivative contracts, and trade receivables. Cash and investments are diversified across high‑quality commercial paper, government money market funds, U.S. government and agency obligations, high-quality corporate bonds and asset‑backed securities, foreign government obligations and deposits with major financial institutions. Credit risk from OTC derivatives is managed through counterparty credit limits, margining and collateral requirements, while exchange‑cleared derivatives carry minimal risk but expose us to broker receivables related to margin postings. Trade receivables are broadly diversified geographically, generally have short payment terms and are actively monitored with collateral and netting arrangements used where appropriate.
Certain of our derivative contracts require us to post collateral if exposure exceeds fixed or credit‑rating‑dependent thresholds, which generally decrease with lower ratings and fall to zero below investment grade, with cash as the primary form of collateral and letters of credit permitted in some cases. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was $73 million at both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. For these instruments, no collateral was posted at March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025. If our credit rating had been downgraded below investment grade at March 31, 2026, we would have been required to post $34 million of additional collateral, either with cash or letters of credit.
Note 8—Fair Value Measurement
We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at the reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability) and disclosed according to the quality of valuation inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborated market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborated market data is no longer available. There were no material transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, or during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recurring Fair Value Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis include our investments in debt securities classified as available for sale, commodity derivatives and our contingent consideration arrangement related to the Surmont acquisition.
•Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent exchange-traded futures and options that are valued using unadjusted prices available from the underlying exchange. Level 1 financial assets also include our investments in U.S. government obligations classified as available for sale debt securities, which are valued using exchange prices.
•Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts that are valued using adjusted exchange prices, prices provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are all corroborated by market data. Level 2 financial assets also include our investments in debt securities classified as available for sale including investments in corporate bonds, commercial paper, asset-backed securities, U.S. government agency obligations and foreign government obligations that are valued using pricing provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are corroborated with market data.
•Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and sale contracts where a significant portion of fair value is calculated from underlying market data that is not readily available. The derived value uses industry standard methodologies that may consider the historical relationships among various commodities, modeled market prices, time value, volatility factors and other relevant economic measures. The use of these inputs results in management’s best estimate of fair value. Level 3 commodity derivative activity was not material for all periods presented.
•Level 3 liabilities include the fair value of future quarterly contingent payments associated with the Surmont acquisition. In October 2023, we completed our acquisition of the remaining 50 percent working interest in Surmont, an asset in our Canada segment, from TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. The consideration for the acquisition included a contingent consideration arrangement requiring payment of up to $0.4 billion CAD over a five-year term. The contingent payments represent $2 million for every dollar that WCS pricing exceeds $52 per barrel during the month, subject to certain production targets being achieved. The undiscounted amount we could pay under this arrangement was up to $0.3 billion USD at closing.

Reported Fair Values of Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
•Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value. For those investments classified as available for sale debt securities, the carrying amount reported on the balance sheet is fair value.
•Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term and related parties): The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.
•Investments in debt securities classified as available for sale: The fair value of investments in debt securities categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy is measured using exchange prices. The fair value of investments in debt securities categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is measured using pricing provided by brokers or pricing service companies that are corroborated with market data. See Note 7.
•Accounts payable (including related parties) and floating-rate debt: The carrying amount of accounts payable and floating-rate debt reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.
•Fixed-rate debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt is measured using prices available from a pricing service that is corroborated by market data; therefore, these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
•Commercial paper: The carrying amount of our commercial paper instruments approximates fair value and is reported on the balance sheet as short-term debt.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, lump-sum benefit payments exceeded the sum of service and interest costs for the year for the U.S. qualified pension plan. As a result, we recognized a proportionate share of prior actuarial losses from other comprehensive income as pension settlement expense of $9 million. In conjunction with the recognition of pension settlement expense, the fair market value of the pension plan assets was updated, and the pension benefit obligation of the U.S. qualified pension plan was remeasured at March 31, 2026. At the measurement date, the net pension liability increased by $39 million, primarily due to lower than premised return on assets, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate, resulting in a corresponding decrease to other comprehensive income.

At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the “Accounts and notes receivable, net” line on our consolidated balance sheet, presented net of allowances of $4 million for each period, included trade receivables of $5,842 million compared with $4,416 million at December 31, 2025, and included both contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and those that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. We typically receive payment within 30 days or less (depending on the terms of the invoice) once delivery is made. Revenues that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical natural gas sales contracts at market prices for which we do not elect NPNS and are therefore accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815. There is little distinction in the nature of the customer or credit quality of trade receivables associated with natural gas sold under contracts for which NPNS has not been elected compared with trade receivables where NPNS has been elected.

Note 16—Segment Disclosures and Related Information
We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs on a worldwide basis. We manage our operations through five operating segments, which are primarily defined by geographic region: Alaska; Lower 48 (L48); Canada; Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EMENA); and Asia Pacific (AP).
Corporate and Other (Corporate) represents income and costs not directly associated with an operating segment, such as most interest expense, premiums on early retirement of debt, corporate overhead and certain technology activities, including licensing revenues. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates performance and allocates resources among our operating segments based on each segment's net income (loss). This is done through the annual budget and forecasting process.
Intersegment sales are at prices that approximate market.

Note 17—Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, was 35.1 percent and 36.2 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, is primarily due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the March 31, 2025 change to our valuation allowance, described below.
During the first quarter of 2025, our valuation allowance decreased $56 million, relating to the expected utilization of previously unrecognized capital loss carryforwards due to our agreement to sell our interests in the Ursa and Europa fields, and the Ursa Oil Pipeline Company LLC to Shell Offshore Inc. and Shell Pipeline Company LP, respectively.
The company has ongoing income tax audits in a number of jurisdictions. The government agents in charge of these audits regularly request additional time to complete audits, which we generally grant, and conversely, occasionally close audits unpredictably.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” to disaggregate the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, depletion and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU will impact our financial statement disclosures only and will be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted.

Business Environment and Executive Overview
ConocoPhillips is one of the world’s leading E&P companies based on production and reserves, with operations and activities in 14 countries. Our diverse, low cost of supply portfolio includes resource-rich unconventional plays in North America; conventional assets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia; global LNG developments; oil sands in Canada; and an inventory of global exploration prospects. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, at March 31, 2026, we employed approximately 9,700 people worldwide and had total assets of $123 billion.
Overview
At ConocoPhillips, we anticipate that commodity prices will continue to be cyclical and volatile, and our view is that a successful business strategy in the E&P industry must be resilient in lower price environments while also retaining upside during periods of higher prices. As such, we are unhedged, remain committed to our disciplined investment framework and continually monitor market fundamentals, including the impacts associated with geopolitical tensions and conflicts, global demand for our products, oil and gas inventory levels, governmental policies, tariffs, inflation and supply chain disruptions. We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment and the ongoing market volatility in the energy landscape and across global markets for implications to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, have increased volatility in global energy markets and may elevate risks to regional operations, infrastructure and shipping routes. We have investments in LNG facilities in Qatar, including one producing asset and two projects under construction. In March 2026, due to the conflict, QatarEnergy constrained LNG production at its major Ras Laffan facilities. Our investments have not been damaged, and there are no indications of impairment. However, further escalation could adversely affect operations, LNG transportation and construction and have broader supply chain impacts. Production from our Qatar investments was approximately four percent of total company production volumes in 2025. The company continues to monitor developments and prioritize the safety of personnel and the integrity of our operations. See Note 3.
As the global energy industry continues to evolve, we remain committed to creating long-term value for our stockholders. We believe ConocoPhillips plays an essential role in responsibly meeting the global demand for energy, while continuing to deliver competitive returns on and of capital and working to meet our previously established emissions-reduction targets. Our value proposition to deliver competitive returns to stockholders through price cycles is guided by our foundational principles which consist of maintaining balance sheet strength, providing peer-leading distributions, making disciplined investments and demonstrating responsible and reliable ESG performance.
In 2025, we made clear commitments to enhance portfolio value and structural profitability, and we remain focused on
seeing those commitments through to completion. In the second half of 2025, we announced incremental cost reductions
and margin enhancements exceeding $1 billion anticipated on a run-rate basis by year-end 2026, reflecting continued
progress toward delivering sustainable improvements in our cost structure and margins.
25 | ConocoPhillips 2026 Q1 10-Q | |||||||
| Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |||||
Production was 2,309 MBOED in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 80 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, first-quarter 2026 production decreased by 14 MBOED or one percent from the same period a year ago.
First-quarter 2026 production resulted in $4.3 billion of cash provided by operating activities. We returned $2.0 billion to shareholders, consisting of $1.0 billion through share repurchases and $1.0 billion through our ordinary dividend. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaling $6.7 billion and long-term investments in debt securities of $1.2 billion.
Also in the first quarter of 2026, we re-invested $2.9 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments, with over half of the expenditures related to flexible, short-cycle unconventional plays in the Lower 48 segment.
In April 2026, we declared a second-quarter ordinary dividend of $0.84 per share.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |||||
Business Environment
Commodity prices are the most significant factor impacting our profitability and related returns on and of capital to our shareholders. Dynamics that could influence world energy markets and commodity prices include, but are not limited to, global economic health, supply or demand disruptions or fears thereof caused by civil unrest, global pandemics, military conflicts, actions taken by OPEC Plus and other major oil producing countries, environmental laws, tariffs, governmental policies and weather-related disruptions. Our strategy is to create value through price cycles by delivering on the financial, operational and ESG priorities that underpin our value proposition.
Our earnings and operating cash flows generally correlate with price levels for crude oil and natural gas, which are subject to factors external to the company and over which we have no control. The following graph depicts the trend in average benchmark prices for WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas:
The following table presents average prices for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Oil and bitumen prices were higher in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 as Middle East supply disruptions corresponded to higher market prices.
U.S. Henry Hub prices improved due to Winter Storm Fern impacts on market supplies. The risk of volatility in regional markers remains throughout 2026.
Total realized prices were lower in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 despite increased commodity prices, primarily due to lower realized gas prices in the Permian.

•Updated full-year production and capital guidance, operating cost guidance unchanged;
•Delivered total company and Lower 48 production of 2,309 MBOED and 1,453 MBOED, respectively;
•Distributed $2.0 billion to shareholders, including $1.0 billion through share repurchases and $1.0 billion through the ordinary dividend;
•Conducted successful Willow winter construction season with project achieving 50% completion;
•Completed four-well Alaska winter exploration program with evaluation underway and secured high-priority acreage in National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A) lease sale;
•Enhanced Lower 48 capital efficiency by more than doubling percentage of 3-mile plus lateral length wells drilled compared with prior year;

•Ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of $6.7 billion and long-term investments of $1.2 billion.
Outlook
Production and Capital
For the second quarter, the company is excluding Qatar from production guidance, given uncertainty surrounding the conflict in the Middle East. Second-quarter production is expected to be 2.185 to 2.215 MMBOED.
Full-year production is expected to be 2.295 to 2.325 MMBOED. This reflects a 20 MBOED annual adjustment for Qatar, given the exclusion of Qatar production from second-quarter guidance, as well as a 15 MBOED annual royalty rate adjustment at Surmont due to higher oil prices.
Capital spending for 2026 is expected to be $12 to $12.5 billion.
All other guidance remains unchanged.

Total Company Production
We explore for, produce, transport and market crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs on a worldwide basis. In the quarter ended March 31, 2026, our operations were producing in the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Malaysia, Norway and Qatar.
Total production in the first quarter of 2026 was 2,309 MBOED, a decrease of 80 MBOED or three percent from the same period a year ago. Production decreases were primarily driven by normal field decline.
Production decreases were partly offset by new wells online in the Lower 48, Canada, Alaska, China, Australia and Libya.
After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, first-quarter 2026 production decreased by 14 MBOED or one percent from the same period a year ago.

Sales and other operating revenues for the three-month period of 2026 decreased $756 million. Decreases include lower volumes of $420 million and lower realized natural gas and NGL prices of $537 million. These decreases were partly offset by higher crude and bitumen prices of $243 million.
Equity in earnings of affiliates for the three-month period of 2026 decreased $145 million due to lower earnings primarily driven by lower prices and production. There were no impairment indicators identified during the quarter, and we continue to monitor the recoverability of our equity method investments.
Purchased commodities for the three-month period of 2026 increased $95 million, primarily due to higher power prices, higher power and gas volumes and higher LNG activity. These increases were partly offset by lower derivatives impacts and crude volumes.
Production and operating expenses for the three-month period of 2026 decreased $230 million, primarily due to lower activity levels and increased efficiencies.
DD&A for the three-month period of 2026 increased $160 million, primarily due to higher DD&A rates, driven by higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025.

The Alaska segment primarily explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. As of March 31, 2026, Alaska contributed 12 percent of our consolidated liquids production and one percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Alaska reported earnings of $294 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with earnings of $327 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included lower sales revenues resulting from lower produced volumes of $53 million and timing of sales. These decreases were partly offset by higher realized prices of $68 million. Additional decreases to earnings included higher taxes other than income taxes of $67 million, driven by the absence of an impact from the settlement of a contingent matter, and higher exploration expenses of $20 million, primarily driven by increased seismic work. Increases to earnings included lower production and operating expenses of $24 million driven by lower workover activity.
Production
Average production decreased 13 MBOED in the three-month period of 2026 primarily driven by normal field decline.
The production decreases were partly offset by new wells online in the second half of 2025.

Net Income (Loss)
Lower 48 reported earnings of $1,403 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with earnings of $1,790 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included lower sales revenues resulting from lower overall realized prices of $303 million, driven by lower gas realizations and NGL prices, and lower volumes of $85 million. Additional decreases to earnings include higher DD&A of $115 million, primarily driven by higher rates, due to higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets, and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025. Increases to earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included lower production and operating expenses of $186 million, primarily driven by efficiencies and decreased activity.
Production
Average production decreased nine MBOED in the three-month period of 2026. Production decreases were primarily driven by normal field decline and dispositions of assets in 2025.
Decreases to production were partly offset by new wells online from our development programs in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Midland Basin and Bakken.

The Canada segment operations include the Surmont oil sands development in Alberta, the Montney unconventional play in British Columbia and commercial operations. As of March 31, 2026, Canada contributed nine percent of our consolidated liquids production and five percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Canada reported earnings of $85 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with earnings of $256 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included higher sales revenues resulting from higher realized prices of $46 million and timing of sales. These increases were partly offset by lower volumes of $78 million and a pending claim of $63 million. Additional decreases to earnings included lower other income of $56 million primarily from a change in the fair value measurement associated with the Surmont contingent consideration arrangement. See Note 8.
Production
Average production decreased 20 MBOED in the three-month period of 2026. Decreases to production resulted from higher variable royalties in Surmont following a post-payout event in 2025 and a rate increase due to higher prices, as well as normal field decline. The Surmont royalties are based on a sliding scale ranging from 25 percent to 40 percent, calculated under the oil sands royalty regime as a percentage of gross revenue, net of allowable deductions post-payout, indexed to WTI prices between $55 CAD and $120 CAD.
Production decreases were partly offset by new wells online in the Montney area.

The Europe, Middle East and North Africa segment consists of operations principally located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, Qatar, Libya, Equatorial Guinea and commercial and terminalling operations in the U.K. As of March 31, 2026, our Europe, Middle East and North Africa operations contributed eight percent of our consolidated liquids production and 19 percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Europe, Middle East and North Africa reported earnings of $265 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with earnings of $419 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included lower revenues inclusive of lower volumes of $32 million and lower realized prices of $10 million primarily from lower gas prices, partly offset by higher crude prices. Additional decreases to earnings included lower earnings from equity affiliates of $21 million, primarily driven by lower prices and volumes and tax impacts of $60 million due to a shift in our mix of income among taxing jurisdictions.
Consolidated Production
Average consolidated production decreased 19 MBOED in the three-month period of 2026. Decreases to production were due to normal field decline and higher downtime in Libya and Norway.
Production decreases were partly offset by new wells online in Libya and improved performance in Equatorial Guinea and Norway.
Qatar
We have investments in LNG facilities in Qatar, including one producing asset and two projects under construction. In March 2026, due to the conflict in the Middle East, QatarEnergy constrained LNG production at its major Ras Laffan facilities. Our investments have not been damaged, and there are no indications of impairment. However, further escalation could adversely affect operations, LNG transportation and construction and have broader supply chain impacts. The company continues to monitor developments and prioritize the safety of personnel and the integrity of our operations. See Note 3.

The Asia Pacific segment has operations in China, Malaysia, Australia and commercial operations in China, Singapore and Japan. As of March 31, 2026, Asia Pacific contributed three percent of our consolidated liquids production and three percent of our consolidated natural gas production.
Net Income (Loss)
Asia Pacific reported earnings of $295 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with earnings of $311 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 included lower earnings from equity affiliates of $35 million, primarily due to lower LNG marker prices. Increases to earnings included lower exploration expenses of $31 million, primarily driven by the absence of dry hole expenses associated with certain suspended wells.
Consolidated Production
Average consolidated production decreased five MBOED in the three-month period of 2026. Decreases to production were primarily due to normal field decline.
Production decreases were partly offset by development activity in Bohai Bay in China.

Net interest expense consists of interest and debt expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Net interest expense decreased in the three-month period of 2026 due to higher interest income and higher capitalized interest partly offset by the absence of an impact from the settlement of a contingent matter.
Corporate G&A expenses include compensation programs and staff costs. Corporate G&A expenses decreased in the three-month period of 2026, primarily due to the absence of transaction and integration expenses associated with our acquisition of Marathon Oil.
Technology includes our investments in low-carbon and other new technologies or businesses and licensing revenues. Other new technologies or businesses and licensing activities are focused on both conventional and tight oil reservoirs, shale gas, oil sands, enhanced oil recovery, as well as LNG.
Other income (expense) or "Other" includes certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, other costs not directly associated with an operating segment, gains or losses on early retirement of debt, holding gains or losses on equity securities and pension settlement expense. "Other" was improved in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to a consolidating tax adjustment.

*Capital includes total debt and total equity.
To meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, including cash generated from operating activities, our commercial paper and credit facility programs and our ability to sell securities using our shelf registration statement. During the first three months of 2026, the primary uses of our available cash were $2.9 billion to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, $1.0 billion to repurchase common stock, $1.0 billion to pay the ordinary dividend and $0.1 billion to retire debt.
At March 31, 2026, we had total liquidity of $11.9 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 billion, short-term investments of $0.5 billion and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $5.5 billion. In addition, we have $1.2 billion of long-term investments in debt securities. We believe current cash balances and cash generated by operating activities, together with access to external sources of funds as described below in the “Significant Changes in Capital” section, will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, capital return program and required debt payments.
Significant Changes in Capital
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.3 billion for the first three months of 2026 compared with $6.1 billion for the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease resulted from receivable timing, lower production and lower realized commodity prices.
Our short-term and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent on the prices for crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG and NGLs. Prices and margins in our industry have historically been volatile, driven by market conditions beyond our control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.
The level of absolute production volumes, as well as the product and location mix, is another significant factor impacting our cash flows. Future production is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the volatile crude oil and natural gas price environment, which may impact investment decisions; the effects of price changes on production sharing and variable-royalty contracts; acquisition and disposition of fields; field production decline rates; new technologies; operating efficiencies; timing of startups and major turnarounds; political instability; government regulations; weather-related disruptions; and the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively monitor and manage these factors, changes in production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although we generally experience less variability in our cash flows due to changes in production levels than due to changes in commodity prices.
To maintain or grow our production volumes, we must continue adding to our proved reserve base. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.

| Capital Resources and Liquidity | |||||
Investing Activities
For the first three months of 2026, we invested $2.9 billion in capital expenditures and investments. See the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.
Proceeds from asset sales were immaterial in the first three months of 2026. In the first three months of 2025, proceeds from asset sales were $0.6 billion, primarily from the sale of assets in our Lower 48 segment.
We invest in short-term and long-term investments as part of our cash investment strategy, the primary objective of which is to protect principal, maintain liquidity and provide yield and total returns. These investments include time deposits, commercial paper, as well as debt securities classified as available for sale. Short-term funds needed to support our operating plan and provide resiliency to react to short-term price volatility are invested in highly liquid instruments with maturities of less than one year. Funds we consider available to maintain resiliency in longer-term price downturns and to capture opportunities outside a given operating plan may be invested in instruments with maturities of greater than one year. See Note 7.
Investing activities in the first three months of 2026 included net purchases of $30 million of investments. We had net sales of $155 million of short-term investments and net purchases of $185 million of long-term investments. See Note 11.
Financing Activities
In the first quarter of 2026, the company retired $67 million principal amount of our 6.875% Notes at maturity.
We have a revolving credit facility totaling $5.5 billion with a maturity date of February 2030. The credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million or as support for our commercial paper program. With no commercial paper outstanding and no direct borrowings or letters of credit, we had access to $5.5 billion in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2026.
Our debt balance at March 31, 2026, was $23.3 billion compared with $23.4 billion at December 31, 2025. The current portion of debt, including future payments for finance leases, is $1.1 billion at March 31, 2026. Debt payments are expected to be made using current cash balances and cash provided by operating activities.
Fitch and Moody's affirmed our long-term debt credit ratings in February and April 2026, respectively. The current long-term debt credit ratings are:
•Fitch: “A” with a “stable” outlook
•S&P: “A-” with a “stable” outlook
•Moody's: “A2” with a “stable” outlook
See Note 4 for additional information on debt.
Certain of our project-related contracts, commercial contracts and derivative instruments contain provisions requiring us to post collateral. Many of these contracts and instruments permit us to post either cash or letters of credit as collateral. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had direct bank letters of credit of $391 million and $331 million, respectively, which secured performance obligations related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, we may be required to post additional letters of credit.
Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate number of various types of debt and equity securities.
Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Expenditures and Investments” section.
We believe in delivering value to our shareholders through our return of capital framework. The framework is structured to deliver a compelling, growing ordinary dividend and through-cycle share repurchases. We anticipate returning greater than 30 percent of cash from operating activities through cycles.
In the first three months of 2026, we paid ordinary dividends of $0.84 per share, and in the first three months of 2025, we paid ordinary dividends of $0.78 per share.
ConocoPhillips 2026 Q1 10-Q | 40 | |||||||
Capital Resources and Liquidity | |||||
In April 2026, we declared an ordinary dividend of $0.84 per share, payable June 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 11, 2026.
In late 2016, we initiated our current share repurchase program. In October 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase from our prior authorization of $45 billion by a total of the lesser of $20 billion or the number of shares issued in our acquisition of Marathon Oil, such that the company is not to exceed $65 billion in aggregate purchases. Share repurchases are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. As of March 31, 2026, share repurchases since the inception of our current program totaled 495.3 million shares and $40.3 billion. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 9.2 million shares for a cost of $1.0 billion.

ConocoPhillips believes proceedings under this threshold are not material to ConocoPhillips' business and financial condition. Applying this threshold, there are no such proceedings to disclose for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. See Note 6 for information regarding other legal and administrative proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*There were no repurchases of common stock from company employees in connection with the company's broad-based employee incentive plans.
In late 2016, we initiated our current share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, we had repurchased $40.3 billion of shares since 2016. In October 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase from our previous authorization of $45 billion by a total of the lesser of $20 billion or the number of shares issued in our acquisition of Marathon Oil, such that the company is not to exceed $65 billion in aggregate repurchases. Repurchases are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. Except as limited by applicable legal requirements, repurchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares of stock repurchased under the plan are held as treasury shares. See Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors – “Our ability to execute our capital return program is subject to certain considerations” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
