5 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - The financial statements included in this report reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Corporation's consolidated financial position at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of operations and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain notes and other information have been condensed in, or omitted from, these interim financial statements. These statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, which have been incorporated by reference in the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

6 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4 - In January 2001, the Corporation replaced its $2 billion global revolving credit facility, which was due to expire in 2002, with two new committed revolving credit facilities. The first provides for $1.5 billion of short-term revolving credit through January 2002 and bears interest at .525% above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The second is a $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit, which expires in January 2006 and bears interest at .50% above LIBOR. Facility fees of .10% and .125% per annum are payable on the credit lines. The Corporation has the option to extend up to $500 million of outstanding debt under the short-term facility for an additional 364 days.

7 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8 - The Corporation adopted FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2001. This statement requires that the Corporation recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for using derivatives as hedges. The Corporation uses futures, forwards, options and swaps to reduce the effects of fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and refined product prices. The Corporation also uses derivatives in its energy marketing activities to fix the purchase and selling prices of energy products. Related hedge gains or losses are an integral part of the selling or purchase prices. Generally, these derivatives are designated as hedges of expected future cash flows or forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges), and the gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. The Corporation's use of fair value hedges is not material. The Corporation's remaining derivatives, including foreign currency contracts, are not designated as hedges and the change in fair value is included in income currently. The January 1 transition adjustment resulting from adopting FAS No.133 was a cumulative increase in other comprehensive income of $145 million before income taxes ($100 million after income taxes), substantially all of which results from crude oil and natural gas hedges. The transition adjustment did not have a material effect on net income. The accounting change also affected current assets and liabilities. The Corporation reclassifies hedging gains and losses included in other comprehensive income to earnings at the time the hedged transactions are recognized. Results from exploration and production activities in the first quarter of 2001 were reduced $31 million ($20 million after income taxes) by reclassified hedge losses. The impact of hedging on refining and marketing results was immaterial. At March 31, 2001, after-tax deferred gains from hedging crude oil and natural gas contracts expiring through 2003 were approximately $70 million (including $50 million of unrealized gains). Of the total, $31 million relates to the remainder of 2001. The ineffective portion of hedges is included in current earnings. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not material during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Corporation uses derivative contracts in its trading activities. The Corporation has a 50% voting interest in a consolidated partnership that trades energy commodities and energy derivatives. The Corporation also takes trading positions for its own account. The results from trading activities, including the Corporation's share of the earnings of the trading partnership, amounted to income of $24 million in the first quarter of 2001 and losses of $10 million in the first quarter of 2000. 6

9 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $337 million compared with $224 million in the first quarter of 2000. The after-tax results by major operating activity for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in millions, except per share data): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months ended March 31 ---------------------------- 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- <S> <C> <C> Exploration and production $ 275 $ 218 Refining, marketing and shipping 105 48 Corporate (13) (12) Interest expense (30) (30) ----------- ----------- Net income $ 337 $ 224 =========== =========== Net income per share (diluted) $ 3.79 $ 2.47 =========== =========== </TABLE> Exploration and Production Operating earnings from exploration and production activities increased by $57 million in the first quarter of 2001 over the first quarter of 2000, principally reflecting higher worldwide crude oil and natural gas sales volumes and increased natural gas selling prices. The Corporation's average selling prices, including the effects of hedging, were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months ended March 31 ---------------------------- 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- <S> <C> <C> Crude oil (per barrel) United States $ 24.23 $ 22.58 Foreign 25.62 25.65 Natural gas liquids (per barrel) United States $ 26.76 $ 20.87 Foreign 22.32 22.61 Natural gas (per Mcf) United States $ 5.45 $ 2.40 Foreign 2.95 2.08 </TABLE> 8
10 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The Corporation's net daily worldwide production was as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months ended March 31 ------------------------ 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- <S> <C> <C> Crude oil (thousands of barrels per day) United States 57 52 United Kingdom 120 112 Norway 25 23 Denmark 23 30 Gabon 7 9 Indonesia 5 3 Azerbaijan 4 3 Algeria 14 - - ---------- ---------- Total 255 232 ========== ========== Natural gas liquids (thousands of barrels per day) United States 11 14 Foreign 10 9 ---------- ---------- Total 21 23 ========== ========== Natural gas (thousands of Mcf per day) United States 322 294 United Kingdom 344 345 Norway 25 26 Denmark 49 35 Indonesia and Thailand 31 36 ---------- ---------- Total 771 736 ========== ========== Barrels of oil equivalent (thousands of barrels per day) 405 378 ========== ========== </TABLE> On a barrel of oil equivalent basis, the Corporation's oil and gas production increased by 7% in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the corresponding period of 2000. The increase in United States crude oil production in the first quarter of 2001 was primarily due to production from the Conger Field in the Gulf of Mexico, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2000. Natural gas production in the United States increased because of new production from the Conger and Northwestern Fields. United Kingdom crude oil production increased principally as a result of production from the Bittern Field, which commenced in the second half of 2000. Crude oil production from the South Arne Field in Denmark decreased in 2001 compared with the first quarter of 2000, however, natural gas production from the 9
11 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) field increased. Crude oil production in the first quarter of 2001 also reflects production from the Corporation's interest in a redevelopment project in Algeria. At the end of the first quarter, the Corporation completed the purchase of three natural gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In early April, the Corporation also completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of a privately held exploration and production company operating in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana. The acquisitions will add approximately 230,000 Mcf of natural gas equivalent per day to United States production. Production expenses in the first quarter of 2001 were higher than in the first quarter of 2000, partially due to increased production volumes and on a per-barrel basis, due to the mix of producing fields. Depreciation, depletion and amortization charges were also higher in 2001, reflecting increased production volumes, while per-barrel costs were lower due to year-end reserve revisions. Exploration expense was higher in 2001 reflecting seismic purchases in the United States and exploration drilling in Asia. General and administrative expenses relating to exploration and production activities were also slightly higher. The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2001 was 41%, comparable to the first quarter of 2000. Crude oil and natural gas selling prices continue to be volatile and fluctuations are only partially mitigated by the Corporation's hedging program. Refining, Marketing and Shipping Operating earnings for refining, marketing and shipping activities amounted to $105 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with $48 million in the first quarter of 2000. The Corporation's downstream operations include its equity share of HOVENSA, a 50% owned refining joint venture. HOVENSA The Corporation's share of HOVENSA's income was $14 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with $11 million in the first quarter of 2000. Margins for refined products were higher in the first quarter of 2001. During the first quarter of 2001, the fluid catalytic cracking unit was shutdown for six weeks of scheduled maintenance. As a result, refinery earnings were reduced. Income taxes on HOVENSA's results are offset by available loss carryforwards. Operating earnings from refining, marketing and shipping activities also included interest income of $10 million in 2001 and $12 million in 2000 on the note received from PDVSA V.I. in connection with the formation of the joint venture. 10
12 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Retail, energy marketing and other Results from retail gasoline operations for the first quarter of 2001 were slightly higher than the comparable period of 2000, despite rising product costs. The Corporation's Port Reading refining facility had increased earnings, reflecting improved margins and the shutdown for scheduled maintenance in the first quarter of last year. Earnings from energy marketing activities decreased in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the corresponding period of 2000. Total refined product sales volumes amounted to 42 million barrels in the first quarter of 2001, compared with 36 million barrels in the first quarter of 2000. Marketing expenses increased $47 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with 2000, principally reflecting expanded retail and energy marketing operations. The Corporation has a 50% voting interest in a consolidated partnership that trades energy commodities and energy derivatives. The Corporation also takes trading positions in addition to its hedging program. The combined results of these trading activities amounted to income of $24 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with a loss of $10 million in the first quarter of 2000. Expenses of the trading partnership are included in marketing expenses. Demand for refined products in the first quarter of 2001 provided favorable margins, however, there can be no assurance that these margins will continue indefinitely and, therefore, overall refining and marketing earnings will fluctuate over time. Corporate Corporate results in the first quarter of 2001 were comparable to those of 2000, as higher interest income offset increased general and administrative expenses, including compensation related costs and bank fees. Consolidated Operating Revenues Sales and other operating revenues increased by 48% in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the first quarter of 2000. The increase primarily reflects higher selling prices and increased sales volumes of refined products and purchased natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas production volumes and natural gas selling prices were also higher. 11
13 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities, including changes in operating assets and liabilities, amounted to $753 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with $437 million in the first quarter of 2000. Excluding changes in balance sheet accounts, the increase was $135 million and resulted primarily from improved operating results. Total debt was $2,042 million at March 31, 2001 compared with $2,050 million at December 31, 2000. The debt to capitalization ratio decreased to 32% at March 31 compared to 35% at year-end. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation had $3 billion of additional borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit agreements and additional unused lines of credit under uncommitted arrangements with banks of $219 million. Since inception of the Corporation's $300 million common stock repurchase program in March 2000, the Corporation has repurchased 3,524,000 shares as of March 31, 2001, for approximately $225 million. The Corporation uses futures, forwards, options and swaps to reduce the effects of changes in the selling prices of crude oil, natural gas and refined products. These instruments fix the selling prices of a portion of the Corporation's production and the related gains or losses are an integral part of the Corporation's selling prices. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation had open hedge positions on 46% of its estimated worldwide crude oil production and 32% of its U.S. natural gas production for the remainder of the year. The Corporation has also hedged 17% of its estimated crude oil production and 19% of its U.S. natural gas production for 2002 and 6% of its U.S. natural gas production for 2003. As market conditions change, the Corporation may adjust its hedge positions. The Corporation uses value at risk to estimate the potential effects of changes in fair values of derivatives and other instruments used in hedging activities and derivatives and commodities used in trading activities. The Corporation estimates that at March 31, 2001, the value at risk was $34 million ($36 million at December 31, 2000) related to hedging activities and $22 million ($16 million at December 31, 2000) for trading activities. The Corporation reduces its exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by using forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on a portion of the foreign currency required in its North Sea operations. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation had $405 million of notional value foreign exchange contracts outstanding. 12
14 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $331 million, of which $318 million related to exploration and production activities. These expenditures include the purchase of natural gas reserves in the Gulf of Mexico for $98 million. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2000 amounted to $162 million including $127 million for exploration and production. For the remainder of 2001, capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to be approximately $1 billion and will be financed largely by internally generated funds. In early April, the Corporation purchased substantially all of the assets of a privately held exploration and production company for $767 million. These properties are located on the Gulf of Mexico shelf and onshore Louisiana. The purchase was financed primarily with internally generated funds. In April, the Corporation also invested $86 million in a 50% joint venture with a company that owns and operates 120 gasoline stations and convenience stores and 21 travel centers located in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Corporation also plans to lease 53 retail outlets in Boston and southern New Hampshire.
