Ø               •  Industry refining margins in the U.S. and Europe fell significantly in 2002 due to weak product demand. In Asia-Pacific, excess refinery capacity also contributed to depressed margins.

 

Ø               •  Chemical margins remained near bottom-of-cycle levels in 2002 for most high-volume petrochemicals, reflecting sufficient supply and moderate demand growth.

 

 

Leadership Position in Core Businesses

In the Upstream, ExxonMobil participates in every major producing area in the world. We have a substantial production base in the United States, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region and are unique in having interests in the four major growth areas of West Africa, the Middle East, the Caspian, and Russia. ExxonMobil has the largest resource base of any nongovernment company in the world with 72 billion oil-equivalent barrels. Our proprietary technology, financial strength, worldwide experience, and disciplined approach make ExxonMobil the partner of choice for host governments and joint-venture partners.

In the Downstream, ExxonMobil is the largest fuels refiner and manufacturer of lubes basestocks in the world. We market retail petroleum products and finished lubricants under three strong brands. Our refineries are 50-percent larger than industry average, with more than 80 percent of capacity integrated with other ExxonMobil manufacturing operations, which results in world-class efficiency. ExxonMobil’s range of market-focused retail formats and customer-targeted lubricant products differentiates us from the competition and provides continued competitive advantage.

In Chemical, ExxonMobil is a leading producer and supplier of primary petrochemicals, including olefins, polyolefins, and aromatics, as well as a number of specialty petrochemicals. Our Chemical business is competitively advantaged by our leading-edge technology, integration of more than 90 percent of our assets with refineries, mix of cyclical and non-cyclical businesses, and superior cost structure.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

World Energy Demand Growing

 

There is a long-standing, proven link between economic growth and energy use. Growing economies will continue to require reliable and affordable energy supplies. We expect hydrocarbons, which currently account for about 80 percent of energy supply, to maintain a significant share of world energy demand.

 

Responsible Development

 

Today, roughly 85 percent of the world’s population lives in developing countries, where GDP per capita is only about 6 percent of that in the developed world. Some 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity, and more than 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Such needs provide a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to help improve the quality of life for people around the world.

 

 

Efficiency and Conservation Important to Meeting Future Energy Needs

 

 

Economic growth will remain the primary driver of energy demand. The global economy has grown at an average rate of about 3 percent per year since 1970. We expect growth to continue at that pace, on average, for the next couple of decades as developing nations play a greater role in the global economy, and increases in productivity offset lower population growth.

 

We expect worldwide energy demand to grow at about 2 percent per year, reflecting significant but yet-to-be-achieved advances in energy efficiency. Contributing to these efficiency gains will be the development and deployment of new technologies such as natural gas combined-cycle turbines for power generation, and advanced internal combustion engine and hybrid vehicles. We expect world energy demand will be close to 290 million oil-equivalent barrels per day by 2020 — or about 40 percent more than today.

 

 

Oil and Gas Will Remain Predominant Energy Sources

 

We anticipate that hydrocarbon fuels will remain the dominant energy source, at least through the middle of the century. Wind and solar power will continue to grow rapidly, due to significant government policies and incentives, not market economics. To put this in perspective, solar power can cost somewhere between $100 and $250 per oil-equivalent barrel.

The intermittent nature of solar energy can result in additional costs for backup supplies. Starting from a low base today, wind and solar energy are unlikely to exceed a 1-percent share of the world’s energy needs by 2020, even with double-digit growth rates.

 

This view recognizes the role and scope of hydrocarbon supplies today, including their enduring competitive advantages in terms of cost and ease of use in multiple applications. The oil and gas share of the world’s energy supply — close to 60 percent today — is expected to remain at that level over the next two decades.

 

Some 50 years ago, natural gas represented about 10 percent of the world’s energy demand. Today it exceeds 20 percent of demand. Over the next couple of decades, we expect this trend to continue, with natural gas capturing about one-third of all incremental energy growth. Driving this growth is the fact that natural gas remains the fuel of choice to meet increasing electricity demand around the world. By 2020, gas is likely to supply about one-quarter of global energy requirements — second only to oil.

 

Growing Oil and Gas Demand Requires New Supplies

 

The ongoing task of our industry is to find, produce, and deliver energy products in an economic and environmentally sound manner. By 2015, the petroleum industry will likely need to add some 100 million oil-equivalent barrels per day to meet demand — an amount close to 80 percent of today’s production levels.

 

Meeting growing energy demand will require access to resources, technology advances, significant investments, timely development, and the cooperation of host governments. As indigenous supplies of oil and gas within mature market areas decline while demand grows, the dependency between importing and exporting countries is expected to increase. We expect growing supplies from West Africa, Russia, the Caspian region, and the Middle East to support higher imports into the United States, Europe, and Asia.

 

The prospect of higher import levels continues to raise concerns about security of supply. The key to security will be found in diversity of supply. Governments can do much to help this effort by promoting diversity through access to resource acreage in all regions.

 

 

Technology Gains Required to Help Meet Future Needs

 

New technologies will continue to help improve the recovery of hydrocarbon resources, as demonstrated in the past by improvements in 3-D seismic imaging and reservoir modeling, advanced drilling, and arctic and deepwater resource development. ExxonMobil’s commitment to new technology will help reduce the cost of producing difficult-to-reach resources and increase the potential for discovering resources that will contribute to future energy supplies.

 

ExxonMobil will continue to improve on the legacy of our technology successes. Our industry-leading resource base, technology advantages, project-management discipline and financial strength provide us with a sustainable competitive advantage to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES BUILD SHAREHOLDER VALUE

 

Unparalleled Execution of Business Strategies

 

ExxonMobil’s fundamental approach to our business is disciplined, straightforward, and focused on the long term. Although other companies may take a similar approach, it is the execution of our strategies that distinguishes us from competition. It is this superior execution that delivers industry-leading results in all aspects of our business.

 

Unwavering Capital Discipline

 

In our industry, where large capital investments are required, it is important to demonstrate the prudent use of capital resources. ExxonMobil’s relentless drive to maximize the value of our assets begins with the investment decision. We apply a disciplined approach to selecting and pursuing the most-attractive opportunities, and this discipline continues through execution of all phases of the project from design through start-up and ongoing operations. We continuously work to control costs. Once investments are made, a rigorous re-appraisal process is completed to ensure relevant lessons are learned and improvements are incorporated into future projects. This rigorous approach ensures that we are achieving the maximum value for our assets and clearly distinguishes us from our competition.

 

 

Operational Excellence Delivers Superior Results

 

The same disciplined approach we take to making investment decisions is applied to managing our operations. We call this Operational Excellence. ExxonMobil believes that Operational Excellence starts with safety. When a company is committed to safety, as we are, the same discipline and commitment are applied in all aspects of business. In 2002, ExxonMobil set another record in safety performance, and led the industry again in this area.

 

Additionally, ExxonMobil management’s commitment to proven, structured management systems ensures consistent quality of work in the 200 countries and territories where the company operates. We have achieved strong results by focusing on continuous productivity improvements and cost efficiencies.

 

 

Global Functional Organization Creates Efficiencies

ExxonMobil is the only multinational integrated oil company organized to operate the functional business lines on a global basis. Through the functional organization, global opportunities are ranked and people are promptly deployed to ever-changing business conditions. The functional organization also helps to more promptly identify and prioritize high-impact technology needs, and it facilitates the rapid sharing of ideas and best practices across our global operations.

 

ExxonMobil’s functional approach is delivering savings to the bottom line through operating cost efficiencies and revenue enhancements. In 2002, ExxonMobil businesses delivered almost $1.9 billion before-tax in efficiencies, and we expect to deliver an additional $1 billion in 2003.

 

Ethics and Business Integrity Remain Core Values

At ExxonMobil, we have long recognized the importance and value of ethics and business integrity. We believe they are key to long-term, sustainable results. Our approach is straightforward and is reflected in all of our activities. We strive to ensure our results are clear and readily understood by our investors.

Geographic and Functional Diversity Provides Balance

 

The company’s size, geographic diversity, and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical businesses mitigate the corporation’s sensitivity to fluctuations in individual business lines and markets. By taking advantage of synergies among these businesses, ExxonMobil is able to optimize total company performance.

 

 

Strong Cash Flow Results from Business Approach

 

In 2002, we generated $24 billion in cash flow from operations and asset sales. We invested $14 billion in capital and exploration expenditures, and distributed more than $10 billion to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases.

 

During the last three years, we have generated nearly $77 billion in cash flow from operations and asset sales, invested $37 billion in capital and exploration expenditures, and distributed $29 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks. The company also reduced debt outstanding and grew cash balances during this time period.

 

 

Financial Strength Enables Pursuit of all Profitable Opportunities

ExxonMobil is one of few U.S. industrial companies with a triple-A credit rating — a rating that has been sustained for 84 years. Our financial strength allows us to readily access capital markets and fund the capital needed to pursue any and all profitable opportunities. Strong business results and a prudent and well-tested approach to financial management ensure we maintain this financial strength at any stage of the industry cycle.

 

Net debt to capital (net of cash) ended the year at about 4 percent. Fixed charge coverage was almost 14 times for 2002, and cash flow to net debt was near 700 percent. This performance demonstrates the rigorous commitment to financial and capital investment discipline that has yielded a productive capital base throughout the business cycle.

 

The company’s financial position, size, and geographic and functional diversity provide a natural hedge to mitigate risk from changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange, and interest rates. As a result, the company seldom uses derivatives, and only does so to offset exposures from existing transactions.

Competitive Advantages (continued)

 

Industry Leader in Return on Capital Employed

 

ExxonMobil views return on capital employed as the most critical and best measure of historical capital productivity in our capital-intensive, long-term industry. ExxonMobil has a long history of leadership in return on capital employed. The combination of our disciplined investments and operational excellence leads to consistent industry-leading returns. In 2002, ExxonMobil remained the industry leader in return on capital employed, with a return of 13.5 percent.

 

ExxonMobil’s Approach Grows Shareholder Value

 

Long-term growth in shareholder value is our core, fundamental objective, and our track record demonstrates we continue to provide substantial benefits for our shareholders. ExxonMobil has paid a dividend every year for more than a century, and dividend payments have increased in each of the past 20 years, reaching $0.92 per share in 2002. During 2002, we distributed more than $10 billion to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases, representing a total yield of about 4 percent of the company’s equity market capitalization at the beginning of the year. During the last three years, $29 billion in dividends and share buybacks has been distributed to shareholders, representing more than 10 percent of ExxonMobil’s year-end 1999 market value.

 

Returns on ExxonMobil shares have consistently outpaced those of the S&P 500 index. ExxonMobil shareholders have earned annualized returns of 16.9 percent and 14.8 percent during the last 20 and 30 years, respectively, compared with returns from the S&P 500 index of 12.7 percent and 10.7 percent in the same time periods.

 

The volatility of ExxonMobil’s stock price, a measure of the fluctuation of monthly returns around its average and a key indication of risk, has equaled the volatility of the diversified S&P 500 index during the past five years, and has been well below that of peers in our industry during that same time period.

 

 

Disciplined Management of Annuity Plans

 

ExxonMobil and its affiliates manage more than 100 pension plans. The funding arrangement for each plan depends on the prevailing practices and regulations of the countries where the company operates.

 

•Ø        In several countries, such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the prevailing practice is to fund most pension obligations through separate assets or insurance arrangements. These plans are managed in compliance with the requirements of governmental authorities, and meet or exceed required funding levels as measured by relevant actuarial and government standards at the mandated measurement dates.

 

•Ø        Book reserves are established for plans in other countries, as well as certain smaller plans in the U.S., because tax conventions and regulatory practices do not encourage funding. Book reserves are added as additional pension costs are incurred with company service, and benefit payments are made from corporate cash flow.

 

The approach to managing the financial assets associated with these plans is consistent with the core principles followed in all ExxonMobil businesses. Our fund management reflects careful assessment of the risks of various asset classes, diversification to minimize the portfolio’s risk, and a long-term orientation that minimizes transaction costs and takes advantage of more-predictable, long-term asset returns.

 

ExxonMobil is a capital-intensive, rather than a labor-intensive, business. Pension expense represented only 2 percent of total operating costs in 2002. Pension expense is calculated based on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which require certain assumptions, such as discount rate and long-term expected earnings. Assumptions are developed conservatively, are reviewed by outside actuaries and senior management, and are within the range of peer practice and actual experience. For example, our long-term earnings rate assumption has been, and will continue to be, consistent with historical returns. The 2003 assumption is 9 percent for the U.S. pension plan versus 9.5 percent in 2002. Returns over the past 10- and 20-year periods were 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
