Insights

ConocoPhillips' Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance and strategic progress. The company reported earnings per share of $1.98, up from $1.84 in Q2 2023, indicating year-over-year growth. Cash from operations (CFO) reached a robust $5.1 billion, showcasing strong operational cash generation.

Key financial highlights include:

  • Record production of 1,945 MBOED, up 4% year-over-year on an adjusted basis
  • Lower 48 production of 1,105 MBOED, with Permian Basin contributing 748 MBOED
  • Average realized price of $56.56 per BOE, up 4% from Q2 2023
  • Capital expenditures of $3.0 billion
  • $1.9 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases

The company's financial position remains strong with $6.3 billion in cash and short-term investments. The announced 34% increase in ordinary dividend, starting Q4 2024, signals confidence in future cash flows. However, investors should note the increased full-year capital expenditure guidance to $11.5 billion, primarily due to accelerated progress on the Willow project and increased Lower 48 partner-operated activity.

While the results are positive, the pending acquisition of Marathon Oil and global LNG strategy advancements introduce elements of execution risk that investors should monitor closely. Overall, ConocoPhillips continues to balance growth, shareholder returns and strategic initiatives effectively.

ConocoPhillips' Q2 results underscore its strong position in the energy sector, particularly in U.S. shale. The company's record production of 1,945 MBOED demonstrates its operational efficiency and ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions. The Permian Basin remains a key growth driver, contributing 748 MBOED to Lower 48 production.

Several strategic moves are noteworthy:

  • Advancement of the Willow project in Alaska, with early arrival of Operations Center modules and ahead-of-schedule commencement of Central Facility fabrication
  • Progress in global LNG strategy, including a long-term regasification agreement at Zeebrugge LNG terminal and a long-term LNG sales agreement in Asia
  • Pending acquisition of Marathon Oil, which could significantly enhance ConocoPhillips' scale and competitive position

The company's focus on LNG is particularly strategic given the growing global demand for cleaner energy sources. This positions ConocoPhillips well for the ongoing energy transition.

However, the energy sector faces challenges, including price volatility and increasing pressure for decarbonization. ConocoPhillips' ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining its operational excellence and financial discipline will be crucial. The increased capital expenditure guidance and higher operating costs due to inflationary pressures in the Lower 48 are areas to watch, as they could impact future profitability if not managed effectively.

Overall, ConocoPhillips' Q2 performance and strategic initiatives indicate a company well-positioned to capitalize on near-term energy demand while preparing for longer-term industry shifts.

  • Reported second-quarter 2024 earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share of $1.98.
  • Generated cash provided by operating activities of $4.9 billion and cash from operations (CFO) of $5.1 billion.
  • Declared ordinary dividend of $0.58 per share and variable return of cash (VROC) of $0.20 per share payable in the third quarter.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) today reported second-quarter 2024 earnings and adjusted earnings of $2.3 billion, or $1.98 per share, compared with second-quarter 2023 earnings and adjusted earnings of $2.2 billion, or $1.84 per share.

“In the second quarter, we continued to deliver on our returns-focused value proposition, achieving record production and advancing our global LNG strategy. We announced a 34% increase in our ordinary dividend starting in the fourth quarter and remain committed to returning at least $9 billion of capital for 2024,” said Ryan Lance, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our previously announced plan to acquire Marathon Oil is progressing, and we expect to close late in the fourth quarter.”

Second-quarter highlights and recent announcements

  • Announced agreement to acquire Marathon Oil in an all-stock transaction.
  • Delivered total company and Lower 48 production of 1,945 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED) and 1,105 MBOED, respectively.
  • Reached first production ahead of schedule at Eldfisk North in Norway.
  • Achieved significant milestones at Willow with arrival of Operations Center modules in Alaska and commencement of the Central Facility fabrication earlier than planned.
  • Advanced global LNG strategy by signing a long-term regasification agreement at Zeebrugge LNG terminal in Belgium and a long-term LNG sales agreement in Asia, both commencing in 2027.
  • Distributed $1.9 billion to shareholders, including $1.0 billion through share repurchases and $0.9 billion through the ordinary dividend and VROC.
  • Ended the quarter with cash and short-term investments of $6.3 billion and long-term investments of $1.0 billion.

Quarterly dividend and variable return of cash

ConocoPhillips declared a third-quarter ordinary dividend of $0.58 per share and a VROC of $0.20 per share, both payable Sept. 3, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on Aug. 12, 2024.

In May, ConocoPhillips announced plans to increase the ordinary dividend by 34% to $0.78 per share starting in the fourth quarter of 2024. This will incorporate the current VROC of $0.20 per share into the ordinary dividend.

Second-quarter review

Production for the second quarter of 2024 was 1,945 MBOED, an increase of 140 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, second-quarter 2024 production increased 76 MBOED or 4% from the same period a year ago.

Lower 48 delivered production of 1,105 MBOED, including 748 MBOED from the Permian, 238 MBOED from the Eagle Ford and 105 MBOED from the Bakken.

Earnings and adjusted earnings increased from the second quarter of 2023. The quarter benefited from higher average realized prices, despite weaker Lower 48 gas realizations, and higher volumes. These increases were partially offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization and higher operating costs. The company’s total average realized price was $56.56 per BOE, 4% higher than the $54.50 per BOE realized in the second quarter of 2023.

For the quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 billion. Excluding a $0.1 billion change in working capital, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of approximately $5.1 billion. The company funded $3.0 billion of capital expenditures and investments, repurchased $1.0 billion of shares and paid $0.9 billion in ordinary dividends and VROC.

Six-month review

ConocoPhillips’ six-month 2024 earnings were $4.9 billion, or $4.14 per share, compared with six-month 2023 earnings of $5.2 billion, or $4.22 per share. Six-month 2024 adjusted earnings were $4.7 billion, or $4.02 per share, compared with six-month 2023 adjusted earnings of $5.2 billion, or $4.22 per share.

Production for the first six months of 2024 was 1,923 MBOED, an increase of 125 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for closed acquisitions and dispositions, production increased 60 MBOED or 3% from the same period a year ago.

The company’s total realized price during this period was $56.58 per BOE, 2% lower than the $57.63 per BOE realized in the first six months of 2023.

In the first six months of 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $9.9 billion. Excluding a $0.3 billion change in working capital, ConocoPhillips generated CFO of $10.2 billion and received disposition proceeds of $0.2 billion. The company funded $5.9 billion of capital expenditures and investments, repurchased $2.3 billion of shares and paid $1.8 billion in ordinary dividends and VROC and retired debt of $0.5 billion at maturity.

Outlook

Third-quarter 2024 production is expected to be 1.87 to 1.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED), inclusive of approximately 90 MBOED of turnaround impacts in Canada, Lower 48, Alaska, Norway, Malaysia and Qatar. Full-year production is expected to be approximately 1.93 to 1.94 MMBOED, as compared to prior guidance of 1.91 to 1.95 MMBOED, reflecting strong second-quarter results.

Full-year guidance for adjusted corporate segment net loss is lowered to $0.8 to $0.9 billion from prior guidance of $1.0 to $1.1 billion, and full-year depreciation, depletion and amortization guidance is lowered to $9.3 to $9.4 billion versus prior guidance of $9.4 to $9.6 billion. This is partially offset by increased adjusted operating cost guidance of $9.2 to $9.3 billion versus prior guidance of $8.9 to $9.1 billion, primarily due to increased transportation and processing costs and inflationary pressures in the Lower 48.

Full-year capital expenditures guidance is updated to approximately $11.5 billion versus prior range of $11.0 to $11.5 billion, due to strong progress on Willow and increased Lower 48 partner-operated activity.

ConocoPhillips will host a conference call today at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time to discuss this announcement.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves. We may use the term “resource” in this news release that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC and from the ConocoPhillips website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information – To supplement the presentation of the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted earnings (calculated on a consolidated and on a segment-level basis), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), cash from operations (CFO), adjusted corporate segment net loss and adjusted operating costs.

The company believes that the non-GAAP measure adjusted earnings (both on an aggregate and a per-share basis) is useful to investors to help facilitate comparisons of the company’s operating performance associated with the company’s core business operations across periods on a consistent basis and with the performance and cost structures of peer companies by excluding items that do not directly relate to the company’s core business operations. Adjusted earnings is defined as earnings removing the impact of special items.

Adjusted EPS is a measure of the company’s diluted net earnings per share excluding special items. The company further believes that the non-GAAP measure CFO is useful to investors to help understand changes in cash provided by operating activities excluding the timing effects associated with operating working capital changes across periods on a consistent basis and with the performance of peer companies. Adjusted corporate segment net loss is defined as corporate and other segment earnings adjusted for special items.

Adjusted operating costs is defined as the sum of production and operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted for special items. The company believes that the above-mentioned non-GAAP measures, when viewed in combination with the company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the company’s business and performance. The company’s Board of Directors and management also use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the company’s operating performance across periods when overseeing and managing the company’s business.

Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including companies in our industry. The company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information from time to time in light of its then existing operations to include other adjustments that may impact its operations.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure presented in this news release to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included in the release.

Other Terms – This news release also contains the term pro forma underlying production. Pro forma underlying production reflects the impact of closed acquisitions and closed dispositions as of June 30, 2024. The impact of closed acquisitions and dispositions assumes a closing date of January 1, 2023. The company believes that underlying production is useful to investors to compare production reflecting the impact of closed acquisitions and dispositions on a consistent go-forward basis across periods and with peer companies. Return of capital is defined as the total of the ordinary dividend, share repurchases and variable return of cash (VROC). References in the release to earnings refer to net income.
