Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX), a diversified energy company, announces third-quarter 2022 earnings of $5.4 billion, compared with earnings of $3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Excluding special items of $2.3 billion, the company had adjusted earnings of $3.1 billion in the third quarter, compared with second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.3 billion.

“Third-quarter results reflect a continued favorable market environment, as well as strong operating performance and improved market capture,” said Mark Lashier, President and CEO of Phillips 66. “Our focus remains on operating safely and reliably producing critical energy products.

“In Midstream, we increased our economic interest in DCP Midstream to capture the value of a fully integrated NGL business from wellhead to market. Our Sweeny Frac 4 started up on time and under budget. With this latest expansion, we are now processing over 550,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids at our Sweeny Hub.

“We demonstrated our commitment to shareholder distributions, returning $1.2 billion through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter. We look forward to providing an update on our strategic initiatives and how we will continue to deliver shareholder value at our upcoming investor day.”

Midstream

On August 17, 2022, Phillips 66 announced a realignment of its economic and governance interests in DCP Midstream, LP and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak Pipeline) resulting from the merger of DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings, LLC. In connection with the merger, Phillips 66 was delegated DCP Midstream, LLC’s governance rights over DCP Midstream, LP and its general partner entities. As a result, starting on August 18, 2022, the company’s financial results reflect the consolidation of DCP Midstream, LP and its general partner entities (collectively referred to as DCP Midstream), as well as DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (Sand Hills Pipeline) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (Southern Hills Pipeline). The results of these entities after the merger and our share of DCP Midstream, LLC’s results prior to the merger are reported in the NGL and Other amounts shown below. Additionally, our economic interest in Gray Oak Pipeline decreased to 6.5%.

Midstream third-quarter 2022 pre-tax income was $3.6 billion, compared with $292 million in the second quarter of 2022. Midstream results in the third quarter include a net gain of $3.0 billion related to the consolidation of DCP Midstream, Sand Hills Pipeline and Southern Hills Pipeline and the transfer of interest in Gray Oak Pipeline.

Transportation third-quarter adjusted pre-tax income was $229 million, compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $250 million in the second quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lower equity earnings from the Gray Oak Pipeline resulting from the merger.

NGL and Other adjusted pre-tax income was $449 million in the third quarter, compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $282 million in the second quarter. The increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of DCP Midstream, Sand Hills Pipeline and Southern Hills Pipeline as a result of the merger.

In the third quarter, the fair value of the company’s investment in NOVONIX, Ltd., decreased by $33 million compared with a $240 million decrease in the second quarter.

Chemicals

The Chemicals segment reflects Phillips 66’s equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). Chemicals third-quarter 2022 pre-tax income was $135 million, compared with $273 million in the second quarter of 2022.

CPChem’s Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) business contributed $105 million of adjusted pre-tax income in the third quarter, compared with $216 million in the second quarter. The $111 million decrease mainly reflects a sharp decline in polyethylene margins, partially offset by lower turnaround costs. Global O&P utilization was 90% for the quarter.

CPChem’s Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics (SA&S) business contributed third-quarter adjusted pre-tax income of $60 million, in line with the second quarter.

The $28 million increase in Other adjusted costs in the third quarter mainly reflects legal contingencies.

Refining

Refining third-quarter 2022 pre-tax income was $2.9 billion, compared with pre-tax income of $3.0 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Refining results in the third quarter included a $24 million hurricane-related insurance recovery benefit. Second-quarter results included $70 million of costs related to the finalization of RIN obligations for prior year compliance periods and $26 million of costs related to the conversion of the Alliance Refinery to a terminal.

Adjusted pre-tax income for Refining was $2.8 billion in the third quarter, compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $3.1 billion in the second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized margins, partially offset by higher volumes. Realized margins declined 6% from $28.31 per barrel in the second quarter to $26.58 per barrel in the third quarter as the impact of lower market crack spreads was largely offset by improved crude and product differentials. The composite global market crack decreased 22% from $46.72 in the second quarter to $36.29 per barrel in the third quarter.

Pre-tax turnaround costs for the third quarter were $225 million, compared with second-quarter costs of $223 million. Crude utilization rate was 91% and clean product yield was 85% in the third quarter.

Marketing and Specialties

Marketing and Specialties third-quarter 2022 pre-tax income was $847 million, compared with $765 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted pre-tax income for Marketing and Other was $717 million in the third quarter compared with $656 million in the second quarter, reflecting higher international margins, partially offset by lower domestic results, including inventory impacts.

Specialties generated third-quarter adjusted pre-tax income of $130 million, up from $109 million in the prior quarter, largely due to improved base oil margins.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other third-quarter 2022 pre-tax costs were $320 million, compared with pre-tax costs of $260 million in the second quarter of 2022. Pre-tax costs included $74 million and $25 million of business transformation restructuring costs in the third quarter and second quarter, respectively.

Adjusted pre-tax loss was $246 million in third-quarter 2022. The increase in the third quarter was mainly due to higher interest expense from the DCP Midstream consolidation, partially offset by increased interest income driven by higher interest rates and cash balances.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Return of Capital

Phillips 66 generated $3.1 billion in cash from operations in the third quarter of 2022.

During the quarter, the company funded $466 million of dividends and $694 million of share repurchases. Capital expenditures and investments for the quarter were $735 million, including the company’s $306 million investment in DCP Midstream, LLC in connection with the merger, net of cash acquired. The company ended the quarter with 473 million shares outstanding.

As of Sept. 30, 2022, the company had $10.5 billion of liquidity, reflecting $3.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $5.0 billion of total committed capacity under a Phillips 66 revolving credit facility and $1.8 billion under DCP Midstream, LP’s credit and accounts receivable facilities. The company’s consolidated debt-to-capital ratio was 35% and its net debt-to-capital ratio was 29%.

Strategic Update

Phillips 66 will provide an update on its plans to continue to deliver shareholder value and its strategic initiatives, including business transformation, at the company’s investor day in New York on November 9.

In Midstream, Phillips 66 completed Sweeny Frac 4, adding 150,000 BPD of capacity. Frac 4 achieved full rates in early October. Total Sweeny Hub fractionation capacity is 550,000 BPD. The fractionators are supported by long-term commitments.

Additionally, the company’s increased economic interest in DCP Midstream, LP allows for further integration and optimization of its NGL business that builds on the company’s existing value chain from wellhead to market, creating a platform for enhanced commercial opportunities and value generation. Phillips 66 also submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire all publicly held common units of DCP Midstream, LP for cash.

In Chemicals, CPChem is pursuing a portfolio of high-return growth projects:

• Growing its normal alpha olefins business with a second world-scale unit to produce 1-hexene, a critical component in high-performance polyethylene. Construction is underway on the 586 million pounds per year unit located in Old Ocean, Texas. The project utilizes CPChem’s proprietary technology. Startup is expected in the second half of 2023.
• Expanding propylene splitting capacity by 1 billion pounds per year with a new unit located at its Cedar Bayou facility. Startup is expected in the second half of 2023.
• Increasing polyalphaolefins production capacity in Belgium by over 130 million pounds per year. Startup is expected in 2024.
• Continuing development of world-scale petrochemical facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in Ras Laffan, Qatar, jointly with Qatar Energy. CPChem expects to make a final investment decision for its U.S. Gulf Coast project in the fourth quarter.

In Refining, Phillips 66 is converting its San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into one of the world’s largest renewable fuels facilities. The Rodeo Renewed refinery conversion project is expected to begin commercial operations in the first quarter of 2024. Upon completion, the facility will have over 50,000 BPD (800 million gallons per year) of renewable fuel production capacity. The conversion will reduce emissions from the facility and produce lower carbon-intensity transportation fuels. The total project is anticipated to cost approximately $850 million.
