EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Phillips 66 is a diversified energy company with midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and specialties businesses. At March 31, 2022, we had total assets of $61 billion. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSX.

Executive Overview

In the first quarter of 2022, we reported earnings of $582 million and generated cash from operating activities of $1.1 billion. We used available cash to fund capital expenditures and investments of $370 million and pay dividends on our common stock of $404 million. We ended the first quarter of 2022 with $3.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $5.7 billion of total committed capacity available under our revolving credit facilities.

Our reported earnings for the first quarter of 2022, compared with the first quarter of 2021, reflect a recovery in global demand for refined petroleum products due to the administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the easing of pandemic restrictions that occurred throughout 2021, as well as recovery from effects of the winter storms that occurred in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in global demand and recent market disruptions resulting from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine resulted in the widening of market crack spreads. Consequently, margins and utilization for our Refining segment, sales volumes for our Marketing and Specialties (M&S) segment, and throughput volumes for our Transportation business have improved. In addition, equity earnings from our Chemicals segment increased due to higher sales volumes. However, as uncertainty remains regarding the impacts on the global economy of the lingering pandemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we will continue to be disciplined in our allocation of capital and monitor the performance of our portfolio.

In addition, we are progressing a multi-year business transformation focused on enterprise-wide opportunities to improve our cost structure. We are targeting a sustainable cost reduction of at least $700 million per year by the end of the transformation period. We will provide updates as the initiative progresses.

Phillips 66 Partners Merger

On March 9, 2022, we completed the previously announced merger between us and Phillips 66 Partners LP (Phillips 66 Partners). The merger resulted in the acquisition of all limited partnership interests in Phillips 66 Partners not already owned by us. Upon closing, Phillips 66 Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 and its common units are no longer publicly traded. See Note 18—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the merger transaction.

CEO Transition

On April 12, 2022, Greg C. Garland, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Phillips 66 announced his intention to retire from his position as Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2022. Mr. Garland will continue to serve as Executive Chairman of the Board with an expected retirement date from this position in 2024. Mark E. Lashier will become President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2022.

Business Environment

The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL prices. The Midstream segment also includes our 50% equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream). During the first quarter of 2022, NGL prices increased significantly, compared with the first quarter of 2021, due to strong demand and increased crude oil and natural gas prices.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. During the first quarter of 2022, the benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin decreased, compared with the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was mainly due to higher feedstock cost.

Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average of $94.49 per barrel during the first quarter of 2022, compared with an average of $57.84 per barrel in the first quarter of 2021. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. Worldwide market crack spreads increased to an average of $21.93 per barrel during the first quarter of 2022, compared with an average of $13.23 per barrel in the first quarter of 2021. The increases in crude oil prices and market crack spreads were mainly driven by tight supply due to a significant increase in demand for refined petroleum products as economic activities continue to recover as the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, as well as market disruptions from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins, and sales volumes of our refined petroleum and other specialty products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are influenced by trends in spot prices, and where applicable, retail prices for refined petroleum products in the regions and countries where we operate. In general, a downward trend of spot prices has a favorable impact on marketing fuel margins, while an upward trend of spot prices has an unfavorable impact on marketing fuel margins. Demand for refined petroleum products has improved in the first quarter

Our commodity price risk and interest rate risk at March 31, 2022, did not differ materially from the risks disclosed under Item 7A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2022, with the participation of management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2022.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Additionally, Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will be in excess of $300,000. During the first quarter of 2022, there were no such new matters that arose and there were no material developments that occurred with respect to matters previously reported but still unresolved. We do not currently believe that the eventual outcome of any matters previously reported but still unresolved, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act, with the EPA, five states and one local air pollution agency. Some of the requirements and limitations contained in the decrees provide for stipulated penalties for violations. Stipulated penalties under the decrees are not automatic, but must be requested by one of the agency signatories. As part of periodic reports under the decrees or other reports required by permits or regulations, we occasionally report matters that could be subject to a request for stipulated penalties. If a specific request for stipulated penalties meeting the reporting threshold set forth in SEC rules is made pursuant to these decrees based on a given reported exceedance, we will separately report that matter and the amount of the proposed penalty.

See Note 10—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

There were no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In March 2020, we announced that we had temporarily suspended our share repurchases. As of March 31, 2022, we had $2,514 million remaining on our existing share repurchase authorization, which has no expiration date. In April 2022, we announced plans to resume our share repurchase program in the second quarter of 2022. Any future share repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on various factors including our share price, results of operations, financial condition and cash required for future business plans.
