“In 2021, we delivered record free cash flow and accelerated our progress towards a lower carbon future,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We’re an even better company than we were just a few years ago. We’re more capital and cost efficient, enabling us to return more cash to shareholders.”

During 2021, Chevron increased its quarterly dividend per share by 4 percent to $1.34 and repurchased $1.4 billion of company stock, all while increasing return on capital employed to 9.4 percent and reducing debt by $12.9 billion. The company raised its dividend per share an additional 6 percent to $1.42 earlier this week and guided first quarter 2022 buybacks to the top of its $3 to $5 billion annual guidance range.

Also last year, the company and its affiliates further strengthened its businesses by advancing the Future Growth Project and Wellhead Pressure Management Project in Kazakhstan and the Anchor Project in the Gulf of Mexico, integrating legacy Noble Energy people and assets while realizing more than double the initially announced synergies, signing an agreement to extend Block 0 concession in Angola, and starting up the olefins mixed-feed cracker and associated polyethylene units in South Korea.

Chevron’s net oil-equivalent production grew in 2021 to a record 3.10 million barrels per day. The company also added 1.3 billion barrels of net oil-equivalent proved reserves in 2021. These additions, which are subject to final reviews, equate to approximately 112 percent of net oil equivalent production for the year. The largest net additions were from assets in the Permian Basin, the Gulf of Mexico and Australia. The largest net reductions were from assets in Kazakhstan primarily due to higher prices and their negative effect on reserves. The company will provide additional details relating to 2021 reserves in its Annual Report on Form 10-K scheduled for filing with the SEC on February 24, 2022.

In 2021, the company made progress to advance its lower carbon future as it set targets to lower the carbon intensity of its operations, adopted a 2050 net zero aspiration for upstream scope 1 and 2 emissions, expanded its renewable fuels business, formed the Chevron New Energies organization that aims to grow hydrogen, carbon capture and offsets businesses, and tripled its associated planned capital investment to approximately $10 billion through 2028.

At year-end, balances of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $5.7 billion, a slight increase from the end of 2020. Total debt at December 31, 2021 was $31.4 billion, a decrease of $12.9 billion from a year earlier.

“We’re delivering greater value to stockholders today, while working to meet the world’s growing energy demands in a lower carbon future,” Wirth concluded.

UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 3.12 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021, a decrease of 5 percent from a year ago. Worldwide net oil-equivalent production for the full-year 2021 was 3.10 million barrels per day, a slight increase from a year ago.

U.S. Upstream
		Three Months Ended Dec. 31					Year Ended Dec. 31
Millions of dollars		2021		2020			2021		2020
Earnings	$2,970			$101		$7,319			$(1,608)

U.S. upstream operations earned $2.97 billion in fourth quarter 2021, compared with $101 million a year earlier. The improvement was primarily due to higher realizations, gains on asset sales, higher sales volumes and lower exploration expense, partially offset by higher employee benefit costs.

The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $63 in fourth quarter 2021, up from $33 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $4.78 per thousand cubic feet in fourth quarter 2021, up from $1.49 in last year’s fourth quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.22 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021 was up 21,000 barrels per day from a year earlier. The increase was due to net production increases in the Permian Basin and the absence of Gulf of Mexico weather effects, partially offset by a 48,000 barrel per day decrease related to the Appalachian asset sale. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production in fourth quarter 2021 increased 6 percent to 929,000 barrels per day, and net natural gas production decreased 9 percent to 1.73 billion cubic feet per day, compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

*Includes foreign currency effects		$(9)		$(384)		$302			$(285)

International upstream operations earned $2.19 billion in fourth quarter 2021, compared with $400 million a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher realizations, partially offset by lower sales volumes, and higher depreciation and employee benefit costs. Foreign currency effects had a favorable impact on earnings of $375 million between periods.

The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in fourth quarter 2021 was $74 per barrel, up from $40 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $7.90 per thousand cubic feet in the fourth quarter, up from $4.23 in last year’s fourth quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.90 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021 was down 181,000 barrels per day from fourth quarter 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of 186,000 barrels per day following expiration of the Rokan concession in Indonesia and unfavorable entitlement effects, partially offset by lower production curtailments. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 18 percent to 899,000 barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021, while net natural gas production of 6.01 billion cubic feet per day increased 2 percent, compared to last year's fourth quarter.

Millions of dollars		2021		2020			2021		2020
Earnings	$660			$(174)		$2,389			$(571)

U.S. downstream operations reported earnings of $660 million in fourth quarter 2021, compared with a loss of $174 million a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales, higher earnings from the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, and higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher transportation and employee benefit costs.

Refinery crude oil input in fourth quarter 2021 increased 9 percent to 882,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, as the company increased refinery runs in response to higher demand and the improved refining margin environment.

Refined product sales of 1.16 million barrels per day were up 14 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to higher gasoline and jet fuel demand as travel restrictions associated with the pandemic continue to ease.

International Downstream

International downstream operations reported earnings of $100 million in fourth quarter 2021, compared with a loss of $164 million a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales and a $142 million favorable swing in foreign currency impacts between periods, partially offset by higher transportation and employee benefit costs.

Refinery crude oil input of 602,000 barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021 increased 11 percent from the year-ago period due to higher demand and improved refining margin environment.

Refined product sales of 1.33 million barrels per day in fourth quarter 2021 increased 8 percent from the year-ago period, mainly due to higher demand for gasoline and jet fuel as restrictions from the pandemic continue to ease along with higher sales in Australia.

ALL OTHER

		Three Months Ended Dec. 31					Year Ended Dec. 31
Millions of dollars		2021		2020			2021		2020

All Other consists of worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities and technology companies.

Net charges in fourth quarter 2021 were $860 million, compared to $828 million a year earlier. The increase in net charges between periods was mainly due to losses on the early retirement of debt, higher employee benefit costs, and the absence of prior year favorable tax items, partially offset by lower pension expenses and the absence of prior year Noble Energy acquisition costs. Foreign currency effects increased net charges by $23 million between periods.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

Cash flow from operations in 2021 was $29.2 billion, compared with $10.6 billion in 2020. Excluding working capital effects, cash flow from operations in 2021 was $30.6 billion, compared with $12.2 billion in 2020.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES

Capital and exploratory expenditures in 2021 were $11.7 billion, compared with $13.5 billion in 2020. The amounts included $3.2 billion in 2021 and $4.0 billion in 2020 for the company’s share of expenditures by affiliates, which did not require cash outlays by the company. Expenditures for upstream represented 82 percent of the company-wide total in 2021.

As used in this news release, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” “us” and “its” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - This news release includes adjusted earnings/(loss), which reflect earnings or losses excluding significant non-operational items including impairment charges, write-offs, severance costs, Noble Energy acquisition costs, gains on asset sales, unusual tax items, effects of pension settlements and curtailments, foreign currency effects and other special items. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company updated its calculation of adjusted earnings to exclude pension settlement costs. The Company recognizes settlement gains or losses when the cost of all settlements for a plan during a year is greater than the sum of its service and interest costs during the year. By adjusting earnings to exclude pension settlement costs, the Company believes it removes non-operational costs that would otherwise obscure its underlying operating results. Adjusted earnings/(loss) for 2020 were recast to conform with the current presentation. We believe it is useful for investors to consider this measure in comparing the underlying performance of our business across periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to Chevron Corporation is shown in Attachment 5.

This news release also includes cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net changes in operating working capital, and represents cash generated by operating activities excluding the timing impacts of working capital. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash capital expenditures, and represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business. Free cash flow excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding working capital less cash capital expenditures and represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business excluding the timing impacts of working capital. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time. A reconciliation of cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital are shown in Attachment 3.
