reduced emission products; the results of research programs and the ability to bring new technologies to commercial scale on a

cost-competitive basis; and other factors discussed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of ExxonMobil’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Forward-looking and other statements regarding environmental and other sustainability efforts and aspirations are not an

indication that these statements are material to investors or require disclosure in our filing with the SEC or any other regulatory

authority. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking environmental and other sustainability-related statements may be

based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and

assumptions that are subject to change in the future, including future rule-making.

Actions needed to advance ExxonMobil’s 2030 greenhouse gas emission-reductions plans are incorporated into its medium

term business plans, which are updated annually. The reference case for planning beyond 2030 is based on ExxonMobil’s

Global Outlook (Outlook) research and publication. The Outlook is reflective of the existing global policy environment and an

assumption of increasing policy stringency and technology improvement to 2050. Current trends for policy stringency and

development of lower-emission solutions are not yet on a pathway to achieve net-zero by 2050. As such, the Outlook does not

project the degree of required future policy and technology advancement and deployment for the world, or ExxonMobil, to

meet net zero by 2050. As future policies and technology advancements emerge, they will be incorporated into the Outlook, and

ExxonMobil’s business plans will be updated accordingly. References to projects or opportunities may not reflect investment

decisions made by ExxonMobil or its affiliates. Individual projects or opportunities may advance based on a number of factors,

including availability of stable and supportive policy, permitting, technological advancement for cost-effective abatement,

insights from the Corporate planning process, and alignment with our partners and other stakeholders. Capital investment

guidance in lower-emission investments is based on our Corporate plan; however, actual investment levels will be subject to the

availability of the opportunity set and public policy support, and focused on returns.

The term “project” as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same

meaning as in any government payment transparency reports.

Overview

Market conditions continued to be heavily influenced by supply disruptions in the Middle East and global refining capacity

reductions during the second quarter of 2026. Average crude oil prices remained within the 10-year historical range

(2010-2019) with reduced refining capacity and inventory releases. Natural gas prices remained elevated above the 10-year

average with ongoing supply disruptions. Global industry refining margins were sharply above the 10-year historical range due

to unprecedented global refining capacity reductions. Chemical margins improved but remained below the bottom of the 10-

year range with regional supply constraints impacting product availability, particularly in Asia.

Selected Earnings Driver Definitions

The earnings drivers provide additional visibility into our business results. The Corporation evaluates these drivers periodically

to determine if any enhancements may provide helpful insights to the market. Listed below are descriptions of the earnings

drivers:

Advantaged Volume Growth. Represents earnings impacts from change in volume/mix from advantaged assets, advantaged

projects, and high-value products. Occasionally, additional granularity is provided to aid investors. For example, Middle East

volumes are presented separately in this filing.

•Advantaged Assets (Advantaged growth projects). Includes Permian, Guyana, and LNG.

•Advantaged Projects. Includes capital projects and programs of work that contribute to Energy, Chemical, and/or

Specialty Products segments that drive integration of segments/businesses, increase yield of higher value products, or

deliver higher than average returns.

•High-Value Products. Includes performance products and lower-emission fuels. Performance products (performance

chemicals, performance lubricants) refers to products that provide differentiated performance for multiple applications

through enhanced properties versus commodity alternatives and bring significant additional value to customers and

end-users. Lower-emission fuels refers to fuels with lower life cycle emissions than conventional transportation fuels

for gasoline, diesel and jet transport.

Base Volume. Represents all volume/mix drivers not included in Advantaged Volume Growth defined above. Occasionally,

additional granularity is provided to aid investors. For example, Middle East volumes are presented separately in this filing.

Structural Cost Savings. Represents after-tax earnings effects of Structural Cost Savings as defined on page 23, including cash

operating expenses related to divestments.

Expenses. Represents all expenses otherwise not included in other earnings drivers.

Estimated Timing Effects. Represents timing effects that are primarily related to unsettled derivatives which are required to be

marked to current period-end prices (mark-to-market), where the associated physical shipments are not reflected in earnings

until the physical transaction is complete. It also includes estimated recognition differences between the settlement of

derivatives and their offsetting physical commodity realizations (due to LIFO inventory accounting). Impacts are expected to

unwind in subsequent periods.

Identified Items. Represents individually significant non-operational events with, typically, an absolute corporate total earnings

impact of at least $250 million in a given quarter. The impact of an Identified Item for an individual segment may be less than

$250 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods.

Cash Capital Expenditures (Non-GAAP)

Cash capital expenditures (Cash Capex) is the sum of "Additions to property, plant and equipment", "Additional investments

and advances", and "Other investing activities including collection of advances", reduced by "Inflows from noncontrolling

interests for major projects", each from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and excludes advances and collections not

related to capital expenditures or equity investments, for example, supply and marketing related advances and associated

collections. This measure is useful for investors to understand the current period cash impact of investments in the business.

Structural Cost Savings (Non-GAAP)

Structural Cost Savings describes decreases in cash opex excluding energy and production taxes as a result of operational

efficiencies, workforce reductions, divestment-related reductions, and other cost-savings measures that are expected to be

sustainable compared to 2019 levels. T3Relative to 2019, estimated cumulative Structural Cost Savings totaled $16.3 billion,

which included an additional $1.2 billion in the first six months of 2026. The total change between periods in expenses below

will reflect both Structural Cost Savings and other changes in spend, including market factors, such as inflation and foreign

exchange impacts, as well as changes in activity levels and costs associated with new operations, mergers and acquisitions, new

business venture development, and early-stage projects. Structural Cost Savings from new operations, mergers and acquisitions,

and new business venture developments are included in the cumulative Structural Cost Savings. Estimates of cumulative annual

structural savings may be revised depending on whether cost reductions realized in prior periods are determined to be

sustainable compared to 2019 levels. Structural Cost Savings are stewarded internally to support management's oversight of

spending over time. This measure is useful for investors to understand the Corporation's efforts to optimize spending through

disciplined expense management.

REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

ExxonMobil’s second quarter 2026 earnings were $14.5 billion, compared to $7.1 billion a year earlier. Markets were

supportive, but our performance reflected the strength of the portfolio and operating model. The increase in earnings was driven

by higher prices and margins, advantaged investments across Upstream and Energy Products, and structural cost savings. This

increase was partly offset by higher expenses related to depreciation, lower volumes from scheduled maintenance and Middle

East disruptions, and identified items, primarily impairments and financial reserves. Cash capital expenditures were $6.8

billion, up $0.2 billion from second quarter 2025.

Earnings for the first six months of 2026 were $18.7 billion, compared to $14.8 billion a year earlier. Cash capital expenditures

were $13.0 billion, up $0.4 billion from the first six months of 2025. T4The Corporation distributed $8.6 billion in dividends to

shareholders and repurchased $10.0 billion of common stock.

Listed below are descriptions of ExxonMobil’s volumes reconciliation drivers which are provided to facilitate understanding of

the terms.

Entitlements - Net Interest are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes caused by non-operational changes to

volume-determining drivers. These drivers consist of net interest changes specified in Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs),

which typically occur when cumulative investment returns or production volumes achieve defined thresholds, changes in equity

upon achieving pay-out in partner investment carry situations, equity redeterminations as specified in venture agreements, or as

a result of the termination or expiry of a concession. Once a net interest change has occurred, it typically will not be reversed by

subsequent events, such as lower crude oil prices.

Entitlements - Price / Spend / Other are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes resulting from temporary

changes to non-operational volume-determining drivers. These drivers include changes in oil and gas prices or spending levels

from one period to another. According to the terms of contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, price or

spending variability can increase or decrease royalty burdens and/or volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. For example, at

higher prices, fewer barrels are required for ExxonMobil to recover its costs. These effects generally vary from period to period

with field spending patterns or market prices for oil and natural gas. Such drivers can also include other temporary changes in

net interest as dictated by specific provisions in production agreements.

Government Mandates are changes to ExxonMobil's sustainable production levels as a result of production limits or sanctions

imposed by governments.

Divestments are reductions in ExxonMobil’s production arising from commercial arrangements to fully or partially reduce

equity in a field or asset in exchange for financial or other economic consideration.

Growth and Other comprise all other operational and non-operational drivers not covered by the above definitions that may

affect volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. Such drivers include, but are not limited to, production enhancements from project

and work program activities, acquisitions including additions from asset exchanges, downtime, market demand, natural field

decline, and any fiscal or commercial terms that do not affect entitlements.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales (Non-GAAP)

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider proceeds

associated with asset sales together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business

and financing activities, including shareholder distributions.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the second quarter of 2026 was $24.0 billion, an increase of $12.3 billion from the

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $32.3 billion for the first six months of 2026, $7.8 billion higher than 2025. Net

income including noncontrolling interests was $19.4 billion, an increase of $4.0 billion from the prior year period. The

adjustment for the noncash provision of $15.5 billion for depreciation and depletion was up $3.7 billion from 2025. Changes in

operational working capital were a reduction of $3.9 billion during the period. All other items net increased cash flows by $1.3

billion in 2026 versus an increase of $2.2 billion in 2025. See the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for

additional details.

Investing activities for the first six months of 2026 used net cash of $12.3 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion compared to the

prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment of $13.0 billion was $0.8 billion higher than 2025. Proceeds

from asset sales were $0.6 billion, a decrease of $1.4 billion compared to the prior year. Net investments and advances

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.9 billion in the first six months of 2026, including $10.0 billion for the purchase

of 66.7 million shares of ExxonMobil stock, as part of the previously announced buyback program. This compares to net cash

used in financing activities of $22.3 billion in the prior year. Total debt at the end of the second quarter of 2026 was $42.4

billion compared to $43.5 billion at year-end 2025. The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 13.7 percent at the end of

the second quarter of 2026 compared to 14.0 percent at year-end 2025. The net debt to capital ratio (1) was 10.7 percent at the

end of the second quarter, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from year-end 2025. The Corporation's capital allocation

priorities are investing in competitively advantaged, high-return projects, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and sharing our

success with our shareholders through more consistent share repurchases and a growing dividend. The Corporation distributed a

total of $8.6 billion to shareholders in the first six months of 2026 through dividends.

The Corporation has access to significant capacity of long-term and short-term liquidity. Internally generated funds are

expected to cover the majority of financial requirements, supplemented by long-term and short-term debt. Commercial paper is

used to balance short-term liquidity requirements and is reflected in "Notes and loans payable" on the Consolidated Balance

Sheet, with changes in outstanding commercial paper between periods included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Corporation had undrawn short-term committed lines of credit of $7.4 billion and undrawn long-term committed lines of

credit of $0.3 billion as of the end of second quarter 2026.

The Corporation’s financial strength enables it to make large, long-term capital expenditures. Cash capex in the second quarter

of 2026 was $6.8 billion, up $0.2 billion from the second quarter of 2025. T9The Corporation plans to invest in the range of $27

billion to $29 billion in 2026. Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects.

Table of Contents

The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade.

Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in

either gains or losses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio

through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating

acquisitions include strategic fit, cost synergies, potential for future growth, low cost of supply, and attractive valuations.

Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both. We also opportunistically may use

our cash and available liquidity to repurchase or retire our debt.

Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total taxes were $10.7 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.1 billion from 2025. Income tax expense was

$4.5 billion compared to $3.4 billion in the prior year. The effective income tax rate, which is calculated based on consolidated

company income taxes and ExxonMobil's share of equity company income taxes, was 24 percent, 10 percent lower than the

prior year period due primarily to a change in mix of results in jurisdictions with varying tax rates. Total other taxes and duties
