Exxon Mobil Corporation - Company Statement

A statement by Mr. Rex W. Tillerson, the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of ExxonMobil is given below.
The statement has been taken from the company’s 2009 annual report.

To Our Shareholders

ExxonMobil’s 2009 results demonstrated again the strength of our business model and our ability to excel under even
the most challenging economic conditions. We confirmed once again that we are committed to a long-term vision of
investing with discipline, improving operational efficiency, and increasing shareholder value.

In the midst of the global economic downturn of the past year, all three of our businesses – Upstream, Downstream,
and Chemical – continued to lead the industry worldwide in performance. Earnings were $19 billion. Return on
average capital employed (ROCE) was 16 percent. Cash flow from operations and asset sales was $30 billion. For
our shareholders, our leadership in 2009 has allowed us to return value to them. Through our dividends and share
buybacks, our Corporation distributed a total of $26 billion to our shareholders in 2009. Over the past five years, we
have distributed a total of more than $150 billion to our shareholders.

Energy is the lifeblood of modern economies.For this reason, ExxonMobil continues to invest for the long term,
secure in the belief that economic growth will return. In 2009, our capital and exploration expenditures were $27
billion. Over the next five years, we will continue to invest record amounts, more than $125 billion, to advance new
technologies, deliver new Upstream projects, increase production of higher-value refined products, and grow our
Chemical business.

Another important measure of our long-term commitment to excellence is our industry-leading safety record. In 2009,
we achieved best-ever lost time incident rates for our combined employee and contractor workforce. We continue to
demonstrate our commitment to improving environmental performance and reducing environmental impacts. In 2009,
we recorded zero spills from company owned and operated marine vessels and reduced Upstream hydrocarbon
flaring by over 20 percent.

For our Upstream business, 2009 was a strong year. Together with our partners, we started up eight major projects in
the United States, the United Kingdom, Norway, Italy, and Qatar. These projects not only deliver new supplies of
crude oil and natural gas to the world, but also provide significant value for resource owners and for our shareholders.

In 2009, ExxonMobil and XTO Energy announced an all-stock transaction that will enhance ExxonMobil’s position in
the development of unconventional natural gas and oil resources. We are confident that the combination of our
complementary strengths will open new opportunities to meet growing global energy demand and build value for our
shareholders.

In our Downstream and Chemical businesses, we have maintained our long-term strategic approach during the
recent economic downturn. Around the world, we continued to capture new efficiencies and benefit from our
integration and operating flexibility, helping us to maximize the value of our assets and resources. In 2009, in the
growing Asia Pacific market, we and our partners successfully started up China’s first integrated refining and
petrochemical complex with foreign participation. We remain focused on operational excellence and the disciplined
execution of our business strategies, which position us well for the future.

Underpinning success across all of our businesses is our commitment to technology. We have invested more than $4
billion in research and development over the last five years. These investments have led to several technological
breakthroughs that enable us to map undersea reservoirs, drill horizontally under arctic oceans, and efficiently
transport cleaner-burning natural gas to markets worldwide. We have also worked with vehicle manufacturers to
improve fuel economy through advanced plastics, new tire-lining technology, and synthetic lubricants. In 2009, we
launched a multimillion dollar research initiative with Synthetic Genomics Inc. to explore the development and
commercialization of algae-based biofuels.

Through these efforts and many others, ExxonMobil is engineering integrated solutions to help meet the world’s
growing energy needs while managing emissions.

Of course, none of our Corporation’s technological advances – or our industry-leading operational excellence – would
be possible without the talented men and women of ExxonMobil. Our success and our innovations are driven by their

Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) - Financial and Strategic Analysis Review Reference Code: GDGE1203FSA

ingenuity and dedication. Year after year, they prove they care not just about results, but how those results are
achieved. Their dedication to upholding our high ethical standards for business wherever ExxonMobil operates and
their unending diligence to protect people, communities, and the environment are essential to our continued success.

Our National Content strategy enables us to make a positive change in the communities in which we operate, by

Downstream - Production
During the fiscal year 2009, the total throughput at the company’s refineries stood at 5,350 thousands of barrels per
day (mbpd), as compared to 5,416 mbpd in 2008. Furthermore, the petroleum product sales decreased to 6,428
mbpd in 2008 from 6,761 mbpd in 2008. The decline was primarily due to lower worldwide demand for fuel products.

Of the total 6,428 mbpd, the sales volumes of gasoline and naphthas stood at 2,573 mbpd; heating oils, kerosene,
diesel stood at 2,013 mbpd; aviation fuels stood at 536 mbpd; heavy fuels stood at 598 mbpd; and specialty products

compared to USD 3,529 million in 2008.

Downstream - Market View


The global refining industry is witnessing a slump following the global economic downturn after a high return period in
the past few years. The company expects the refining margins to decline due to the intense competition in the refining

Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) - Financial and Strategic Analysis Review Reference Code: GDGE1203FSA

industry. Uncertain product demand due to the economic downturn, decreasing refinery margins and a surplus
refining capacity are having a combined negative effect on the profitability of refining operations. These trends will
continue to cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of refinery margins thereby making the refining sector
unattractive for the oil companies such as this.

The decreased demand of petroleum products and low refinery margins forced many companies to cut throughput
rates in their refineries or temporarily shut down the refineries. Furthermore, the prices of crude oil and petroleum
products have dropped drastically from the peak of 2008 affecting the profitability of refineries. The meltdown in the
financial sector has made it difficult to raise finance for the capital intensive refinery projects. These have prompted
many companies to postpone or cancel their refinery investment plans.

Downstream - Key Strategies


The company’s strategies for the segment include maintaining best-in-class operations, maximizing value from
leading-edge technologies, capitalizing on integration with other ExxonMobil businesses, selectively investing for
resilient, advantaged returns, and providing quality, valued products and services to customers.

Business Description - Upstream


Upstream - Overview
The company, through its upstream segment, engages in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.
The company is also involved in power generation operations. It operates through several global companies and
affiliates. These companies are responsible for the exploration, development, production, gas and power marketing,
and upstream-research activities. The company has interests in various types of oil and gas assets including
conventional, deepwater, heavy oil, oil sands, Arctic, acid/sour gas, LNG and tight gas assets. These assets are
located in the US, Canada, South America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Australia, the Middle East, Russia, the Caspian
and Africa.

As of December 31, 2009, the company’s proved oil and gas reserves totaled 14,955 million barrels of oil equivalent
(mmboe). Of the total proved reserves, the crude oil and natural gas liquid reserves totaled 6,469 million barrels and
natural gas reserves reached 34,442 billion cubic feet.

At the end of 2009, the company's undeveloped exploration acreage totaled gross 110.75 million (net 71.92 million).
In addition, ExxonMobil has interests in electric power generation facilities.

In 2009, ExxonMobil commenced eight major projects in the US, the UK, Norway, Italy, and Qatar. The Golden Pass
liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal is scheduled to open on the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2010 and is expected to have the
capacity to import 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day from the new LNG projects in Qatar. Oil and Natural Gas
Corporation Limited, an energy company, plans to sell its interest in Krishna Godavari basin gas block DWN-98/2, to
the company.

Upstream - Production
During the fiscal year 2009, the combined oil and gas production volumes was 3,932 thousand barrels of oil
equivalent (mboe), as compared to 3,921 mboe in 2008. During 2009, the company’s total liquids production was

Upstream - Market View
The overall global energy demand is expected to grow by about 1.6% annually through 2030. With the growing
transportation sector, the demand for liquid fuels is expected to rise at a rate of 1.4% per year. Driven by increasing
demand for electricity, natural gas demand is expected to increase by 1.7% annually to 2030. The demand for gas in
the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow faster than any other region of the world at about 3.2% per year through
2030.

The company anticipates that the global LNG demand will increase rapidly by 2030, driven by the demand in North
America, Europe and Asia Pacific markets. By 2030, LNG demand is expected to represent about 16% of the world’s
gas demand. The company holds LNG liquefaction capacity of about 65 million tons in 2010, and it expect this to
increase to more than 100 million tons annually in the coming years.

Upstream - Key Strategies


The company’s objective of the upstream segment is to create the value in that distinguishes the company from its
competitors. ExxonMobil’s upstream business strategies include identifying and pursuing all attractive exploration
opportunities, investing in projects that deliver superior returns, maximizing profitability of existing oil and gas
production, and capitalizing on growing natural gas and power markets.

Exxon Mobil Corporation - SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis - Overview

ExxonMobil is engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, and marketing of petroleum
products. It has integrated refining and chemical operations and cogeneration facilities. The company operates in
diverse geographic locations across the world. The company can expect to benefit from the increasing demand for
hydrocarbons in the long run. However, declining market share, proved oil reserves and the increasing production
costs are likely to affect its profitability. Furthermore, natural disasters such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and
the coastal US and stringent regulations may hamper its growth.

Exxon Mobil Corporation - Strengths

Strength - Integrated Refining and Chemical Operations


The company has its presence across the energy value chain. ExxonMobil is a leading energy company with
integrated operations. The company achieves greater flexibility to optimize operations and to produce higher-value
products with lower feedstock and operating cost due to its integrated large scale refining operations with chemical
business. The company's refining and processing operations are closely related to the petrochemical production
business due to overlapping processes and feedstocks. Over 90% of the chemical capacity that the company owns
and operates is integrated with its refining complexes or natural gas processing plants. Such integrated sites are
designed and operated to maximize the value of each product stream and to achieve cost savings from economies of
scale. About 75% of ExxonMobil’s refining capacity is integrated with its lubricants and/or chemical businesses. On
an average, the company's refineries are over 60% larger and are more integrated with chemical and lubes
operations.
Strength - Wide Geographic Spread
ExxonMobil has upstream and downstream operations spread over various countries worldwide. It operates over
28,000 retail service stations in nearly 100 countries. The company operates its service stations under the brands
Exxon, Mobil and Esso. In addition to its retail business, the company has three business-to-business segments,
namely, retail, industrial and wholesale, aviation, and marine that sell ExxonMobil fuels to over one million customers
worldwide ExxonMobil's exposure to the developed countries is highest in its peer group. North America and Europe
are amongst the leading oil and gas consumers in the world. ExxonMobil has strong presence in the US, Canada,
Europe, the Asia Pacific and Latin America. A major part of the company's petroleum product sales comes from North
America and Europe. The company's strong retail presence in countries which are leading consumers of oil and
natural gas drives revenue growth.
Strength - Extensive Research & Development Activities
ExxonMobil undertakes extensive Research & Development (R&D) activities to support its business. As of December
31, 2009 the company has held over 11,000 active patents. The company invested more than USD 4.0 billion in
research and development over the last five years. The extensive R&D activities of the company provide major
technological breakthroughs that enable the company to map undersea reservoirs, drill horizontally under arctic
oceans, and efficiently transport cleaner-burning natural gas to markets. To improve fuel economy through advanced
plastics, new tire-lining technology, and synthetic lubricants the company worked with vehicle manufacturers. To
explore the development and commercialization of algae-based biofuels a multimillion dollar research initiative with
Synthetic Genomics Inc. has been launched in 2009.

Strength - Cogeneration Facilities


ExxonMobil is an industry leader in the use of cogeneration process, which is a highly efficient way to generate power
and steam. The substantial cogeneration facilities help the company in meeting its power and heat requirements
economically while optimizing its energy resources alongwith significant environmental benefits because it produces
fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional power generation.. Since 2004, the company invested more than
USD 1.9 billion in new cogeneration capacity. has interests in a approximately 16,000 megawatts (MW) of power
generation capacity worldwide.

Exxon Mobil Corporation - Weaknesses

Weakness - Declining Market Share in Sector


ExxonMobil's compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue was -4.33% during 2005-2009. This was below
the Integrated Oil & Gas sector average* of 21.18%. Also, the company reported revenues of USD 310,586.00 million
during the fiscal year ended December 2009, a decrease of 34.94% from 2008. A lower than sector average* revenue
CAGR indicate that the company has underperformed the average sector growth and lost market share over the last
four years. The company's under-performance could be attributed to a weak competitive position.
Weakness - Low Focus on Profitability
The operating margin of the company has decreased 627 bps over 2008. ExxonMobil's operating margin was 11.2%
for the fiscal year 2009. This was below the Integrated Oil & Gas sector average* of 16.58%. Also, the operating profit
of the company was USD 34,777.00 million during the fiscal year 2009, a decrease of 58.30% from 2008. A lower
than sector average* operating margin implies inefficient cost management strategy by the company and
management's low focus on profitability.
Weakness - Limited Liquidity Position
Weak liquidity position may affect the company's operational and financial conditions in short term. ExxonMobil's
reported cash in hand of USD 10,693 million in 2009, a decrease of 66% over 2008. Further, its current ratio was 0.95
at the end of fiscal year 2009. Current ratio is used to indicate the company's ability to pay back its short-term
liabilities with its short-term assets. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 1.06. This was below the
Integrated Oil & Gas sector average* of 1.45. A lower than sector average* current ratio indicates that the company is
in a weaker financial position than other companies in the sector.
Weakness - Declining Reserves
ExxonMobil’s declining proved oil reserves could affect its business and market share. The company's proved oil
reserves have declined significantly over the past five years. As of December 31, 2008, the company's oil reserves
were 6,469 million barrels, as compared to 7,576 million barrels in 2008; 7,744 million barrels in 2007; 8,194 million
barrels in 2006 and 9,889 million barrels in 2003. During the 2003-2009 period, the company's proved oil reserves
declined significantly by 52.87%, while the decrease during 2007-2008 was 14.61%. The oil and natural gas liquids
production in 2009 was 2,387 mbpd, a decrease of 75bps over 2008. The declining trend in the company's proved oil
reserves is likely to affect its oil production volumes.
Weakness - Increasing Production Costs
ExxonMobil has extensive oil and gas exploration and production operations worldwide. The production cost per
barrel of production has been increasing steadily over the 2004-2009 period. In the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009, the production costs of the company increased to USD 8.72 per barrel, as compared to USD 7.14 per barrel in
2007, USD 6.04 per barrel in 2006, USD 5.36 per barrel in 2005, USD 6.04 per barrel in 2004 and USD 4.78 per
barrel in 2003. The increasing upstream production costs are likely to affect its upstream profit margins.

Exxon Mobil Corporation - Opportunities

Opportunity - Demand for Hydrocarbons in the Long Run


The projected increase in demand for liquid fuels and natural gas in the coming years would help the company boost
its sales and strengthen its financial base. The strong economic growth in the developing countries will drive global oil
and natural gas demand. The overall global energy demand will grow about 1.6% annually to 2030. With the growing
transportation sector, the demand for liquid fuels is expected to rise at a rate of 1.4% per year. Driven by increasing
demand for electricity, natural gas demand is expected to increase by 1.7% annually to 2030. Furthermore, the global
LNG demand is expected to grow at more than 4% per year through 2030, driven by demand in North America,
Europe and Asia Pacific markets. By 2030, LNG demand is expected to represent about 16% of the world’s gas
demand. ExxonMobil is currently participating in LNG operations in Qatar and Indonesia with a combined gross
capacity of approximately 35 million tons per year (representing about 20% of global industry capacity), supplying
LNG to markets in Asia, Europe, and North America. ExxonMobil is also constructing four additional trains in Qatar
that will increase gross capacity by over 30 million tons per year.
The gas demand in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow faster than any other region of the world at about 3.2%
per year through 2030. ExxonMobil is one of the largest suppliers to local markets of Australia and Malaysia, and also
provides local supplies to markets in Thailand, Russia, the Far East and Qatar. The majority of hydrocarbon demand

is expected to be driven by the emerging Asian markets. ExxonMobil is well positioned to take advantage of emerging
growth opportunities worldwide.
Opportunity - Expansion through Inorganic Growth
ExxonMobil is a large international oil and gas company and has a presence across value chain has the potential to
gain market share and expand its operations through acquisitions or partnerships. The valuation of assets of
companies has decreased significantly as a result of the economic crisis and volatility in the crude oil price. Valuation
of many small and mid-size oil and gas companies has decreased considerably and these companies are available
for acquisition by big cash rich players. In 2010, the company acquired XTO energy, an oil and gas company for a
consideration of USD 41,000 million. This acquisition will provide ExxonMobil an competitive edge over its
competitors in the field of unconventional sources.
Opportunity - Deep Offshore- Growth Area for the Long Term
As the company is active in deep offshore drilling, it stands to gain from the growth of this market in long run. Deep
and ultra deep offshore oil and gas projects are attracting increased attention in the wake of the inevitable production
decline in the conventional oil and gas resources. The decline in the oil reserves worldwide is challenging oil and gas
companies to seek new fields in order to maintain their current oil production levels. Furthermore, there has been
renewed interest in recent times due to the advancement in extraction and processing technologies and a significant
rise in the price of oil and gas. In addition, due to the depletion of onshore reserves, exploration and production
activity is moving towards deep and ultra deep offshore areas.
Opportunity - Opportunities in Unconventional Energy Sources
According to in-house research, new and emerging frontiers will increasingly add to the supply of oil and gas in 2010.
ExxonMobil's Upstream segment is engaged in following unconventional energy sources: Heavy Oil/Oil Sands,
Unconventional Gas and Acid/Sour Gas. Unconventional oil and gas projects are attracting increased attention with a
decline in production from conventional oil and gas sources. There has been renewed interest in recent times due to
the advancement in extraction and processing technologies and a significant rise in the price of oil and gas. Following
this, there have been considerable investments in the production of oil and gas from unconventional sources.

Exxon Mobil Corporation - Threats

Threat - Natural Disasters


ExxonMobil has exploration and production operations in Alaska, the Gulf Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, California and
the Mid-continent region. Some of the areas, in which the company operates, are prone to natural disasters. For
instance, ExxonMobil’s Gulf of Mexico facilities were damaged during the hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The
company’s significant operations in the Gulf of Mexico and the coastal US could be adversely affected by hurricanes
in future as well. Powerful tropical storms and hurricanes are forecast to strike the Gulf Coast in coming years,
threatening an area still recovering from the worst natural disaster in the US history. The company’s operations in the
Gulf of Mexico are prone to disruption from hurricanes, which may significantly increase the company’s business
costs, as the company might have to rebuild a part of its infrastructure repeatedly.
Threat - Downturn in the Refining Sector
The global refining industry is witnessing a slump following the global economic downturn after a rise in the past few
years. Uncertain product demand due to the economic downturn, decreasing refinery margins and surplus refining
capacity have a combined negative effect on profitability from refining operations. These trends will continue to cast a
shadow of uncertainty over the future of refinery margins, thereby making the refining sector unattractive for the
company.

The decrease in the demand for petroleum products and low refinery margins forced many companies to cut
throughput rates in their refineries or temporarily shut down the refineries. Furthermore, the prices of crude oil and
petroleum products have dropped drastically from the peak of 2008, affecting the profitability of refineries. The
meltdown in the financial sector has also made it difficult to raise finance for capital intensive refinery projects. While
the situation has stabilized in 2010, these have prompted many companies to postpone or cancel their refinery
investment plans.
Threat - US Energy Policy
The government’s proposed increase in taxes, and new oil and gas leasing policy may affect the earnings and growth
of oil and gas companies such as this. The US energy policy highlights a considerable shift from the fossil fuel driven
economy to an economy fuelled by renewable energy.

Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) - Financial and Strategic Analysis Review Reference Code: GDGE1203FSA

Source : www.globalcompanyintelligence.com Page 29


The Obama administration has proposed various measures for increasing taxes on the US oil and gas industry. The
key measures include elimination of tax breaks such as the intangible drilling and development costs, percentage
depletion and manufacturing deduction. By 2019, these measures will increase the expenses of US oil and gas
companies to approximately $31 billion, according to in-house forecasts.

Moreover, in January 2010, the US’ interior secretary Ken Salazar announced amendments to the existing oil and gas
leasing policy. The leasing policy might make domestic oil and gas explorations difficult. As per the new regulations,
the leasing process will undergo internal and external scrutiny, verification of conformance to a Resource
Management Plan; have greater public participation and industry participation and comprise larger environmental
review procedures.
Threat - Threat to Oil Sand Industry
Low oil prices and environmental implications prove a dampener for companies active in oil sand exploration such as
this. There has been much impact on the environment due to the exploration of oil sands. Exploration activities have
influenced wildlife and water bodies. Oil sand operations generate toxic waste during the extraction process that
comprise water, sand, clay, small amounts of bitumen, and naturally occurring organic compounds, salt and traces of
metals. Furthermore, the amount of natural gas used by the Canadian oil sands industry is equivalent to the daily
consumption of 3.2 million Canadian homes, which contributes to increased carbon emission.

Additionally, the oil sands industry is more capital intensive than traditional oil exploration projects. The Canadian oil
sands industry needs an oil price in the range of USD 50–65, depending on the location, in order to be profitable.
However, the huge fall in the oil prices since the financial crisis has made many oil sands projects uneconomical. In
addition, the global economic slowdown and an uncertain future demand and price outlook have decreased the
attractiveness of the oil sands industry.
Threat - Rising Capital Costs in the Refining Sector
There was a significant pressure on refining margins due to the recessionary conditions. ExxonMobil operates 37
refineries in 21 countries. Refineries worldwide are becoming more complex and flexible in allowing refiners to
process different qualities of crude. Even in developing countries, petroleum product quality norms are getting more
stringent, which is resulting in an increase in costs for building secondary conversion units such as fluid catalytic
crackers, hydro crackers and cokers. Additionally, shifting yield patterns in favor of light and middle distillates instead
of fuel oil also require huge investments to upgrade simple refineries into complex ones for some companies.

"The project applies industry-leading technology to successfully operate in a safe and environmentally responsible
manner in one of the most challenging sub-arctic environments in the world, while providing important economic
benefits to Russia."

Development of the Odoptu field has included world-class performance in the drilling and completion of seven
extended-reach wells. The Sakhalin-1 project employs one of the world's most powerful land-based rigs, which drilled
horizontally under the Sea of Okhotsk to the Odoptu oil reservoir over five miles (9km) offshore, said ExxonMobil.

Additional activities in the development of Odoptu included the construction of a new onshore oil and gas treatment
facility and flowline connection to the existing Chayvo onshore processing facility.

The Sakhalin-1 project includes the phased development of the Chayvo, Odoptu and Arkutun-Dagi fields, with an
estimated total resource of 2.3 billion barrels (307 million tons) of oil and 17 trillion cubic feet (485 billion cubic
meters) of natural gas. The Chayvo field, which was the initial phase of the Sakhalin-1 project, began production in
2005.

Future project phases call for the development of the Arkutun-Dagi field as well as expanded gas production and
sales from the Chayvo field. These later project developments will sustain production well into the future.

Since startup, the Sakhalin-1 project has produced over 270 million barrels (35.4 million tons) of oil for export to world
markets. It also has been a key supplier of over 210 billion cubic feet (six billion cubic meters) of associated natural
gas to customers in Khabarovsk Krai, in far eastern Russia, to heat homes and meet growing energy needs. The
project will continue to help meet future natural gas demand in this region.

The Sakhalin-1 consortium includes ENL (30% interest)Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Co. Ltd. (SODECO,
30%)affiliates of Rosneft, RN-Astra (8.5%), Sakhalinmorneftegas-Shelf (11.5%) and ONGC Videsh Ltd. (20%).

Sep 21, 2010: ExxonMobil Awards MZST License To Calfrac Well Services
ExxonMobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) has announced the licensing of its Multi-Zone Stimulation Technology (MZST)
well treatment process to Calfrac Well Services Ltd. (Calfrac Well Services). The MZST process can be used to
rapidly and reliably stimulate multiple reservoir zones in a single operation, yielding improved well economics.

The MZST process was developed by ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company in Houston, Texas.

The MZST process can be particularly beneficial for fracturing operations in tight gas, shale gas, and coal bed
methane wells that target multiple reservoir zones, thick reservoir sections, or long reservoir intervals where multiple
stimulation treatments are required, said ExxonMobil.

The MZST process will enable Calfrac Well Services to optimize its stimulation operations by combining the
deployment of perforating and fracturing equipment simultaneously in the wellbore to enable single-trip, multi-zone
stimulations. The technology dramatically increases the number of zones that can be fractured per day compared to
conventional fracturing and stimulation operations.

Sara Ortwein, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, said: "For a variety of unconventional plays
ExxonMobil’s MZST process continues to be a premier technology for rapidly moving from drilled well to completed
production well. The track record of the MZST process for cost effective and efficient operations is a testament to the
value of the technology and the reason service companies choose to license the technology from ExxonMobil."

Doug Ramsay, president and CEO of Calfrac Well Services, said: "We are pleased to add this proven stimulation
technology to our portfolio and plan to promote the effectiveness and efficiency of using the ExxonMobil MZST
process with our many customers throughout Canada and the US."

Sep 20, 2010: ExxonMobil Announces Equipment For Industry Use Through MWCC

Exxon Mobil Corporation (ExxonMobil), on behalf of the Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC), has
announced an agreement with BP to provide its underwater well containment equipment to MWCC as part of BP's
intent to join the new organization. Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell are establishing the MWCC to
provide emergency response services in the US Gulf of Mexico.

As part of the agreement, the BP equipment will be made available to all oil and gas companies operating in the US
Gulf of Mexico.

The equipment could be deployed to capture and contain oil from a potential underwater well blowout while the new
rapid-response system announced in July is being developed.

Lloyd Guillory, marine well containment system project executive, said: "We are working quickly and effectively in an
unprecedented effort to improve incident preparedness. Our progress since we announced the system demonstrates
the commitment of our companies to make equipment immediately available for incident response."

The existing BP equipment is being assessed for use in near-term response capability. The sponsor companies'
project team will utilize full time BP technical personnel with experience from the Gulf of Mexico response.

Guillory said: "This and other equipment that the project expects to acquire will enable us to preserve and secure
existing capability for use by the oil and gas industry in the US Gulf of Mexico while we build the new system that
exceeds current response capabilities."

Richard Morrison, BP vice president for Gulf of Mexico operations, said: "We are pleased to provide the experience
and specialized equipment needed to respond to a deepwater well control incident and intend to join the MWCC. We
believe the addition of our recently gained deepwater intervention experience and specialized equipment will be
important to the marine well containment system."

Ratio Definitions

Capital Market Ratios

Capital Market Ratios measure investor response to owning a company's stock and also the cost of issuing stock.
Price/Earnings Ratio Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual income
(P/E) earned per share. It is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio means that investors
are paying more for each unit of income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with
lower P/E ratio. A high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the
future compared to companies with a lower P/E. Price per share is as of previous business close,
and EPS is from latest annual report.
Calculation: Price per Share / Earnings per Share
Enterprise Enterprise Value/EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) is a valuation multiple that is often used in parallel with, or
Value/Earnings as an alternative to, the P/E ratio. The main advantage of EV/EBITDA over the PE ratio is that it is
before Interest, Tax, unaffected by a company's capital structure. It compares the value of a business, free of debt, to
Depreciation & earnings before interest. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding
Amortization last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
(EV/EBITDA)
Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / (Net Income +
Interest + Tax + Depreciation + Amortization)
Enterprise Enterprise Value/Sales (EV/Sales) is a ratio that provides an idea of how much it costs to buy the
Value/Sales company's sales. EV/Sales is seen as more accurate than Price/Sales because market
capitalization does not take into account the amount of debt a company has, which needs to be
paid back at some point. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding
last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Sales
Enterprise Enterprise Value/Operating Profit measures the company's enterprise value to the operating profit.
Value/Operating Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding last reported. Other items
Profit are from latest annual report.
Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Operating Income

Enterprise Enterprise Value/Total Assets measures the company's enterprise value to the total assets. Price
Value/Total Assets per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding last reported. Other items are
from latest annual report.
Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Total Assets
Dividend Yield Dividend Yield shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share
price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock.
Calculation: Annual Dividend per Share / Price per Share
GlobalData

Equity Ratios

These ratios are based on per share value.


Earnings per Share Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share
(EPS) of common stock. EPS serves as an indicator of a company's profitability.
Calculation: Net Income / Weighted Average Shares
Dividend per Share Dividend is the distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of directors,
to a class of its shareholders.
Dividend Cover Dividend cover is the ratio of company's earnings (net income) over the dividend paid to
shareholders.
Calculation: Earnings per share / Dividend per share
Book Value per Share Book Value per Share measure used by owners of common shares in a firm to determine the level
of safety associated with each individual share after all debts are paid accordingly.
Calculation: (Shareholders Equity - Preferred Equity) / Outstanding Shares
Cash Value per Share Cash Value per Share is a measure of a company's cash (cash & equivalents on the balance
sheet) that is determined by dividing cash & equivalents by the total shares outstanding.
Calculation: Cash & equivalents / Outstanding Shares
GlobalData

Profitability Ratios

Profitability Ratios are used to assess a company's ability to generate earnings, based on revenues generated or resources
used. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a previous period
is indicative that the company is doing well.
Gross Margin Gross margin is the amount of contribution to the business enterprise, after paying for direct-fixed
and direct-variable unit costs.
Calculation: {(Revenue-Cost of revenue) / Revenue}*100
Operating Margin Operating Margin is a ratio used to measure a company's pricing strategy and operating efficiency.
Calculation: (Operating Income / Revenues) *100
Net Profit Margin Net Profit Margin is the ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment - that
shows how much of each dollar earned by the company is translated into profits.
Calculation: (Net Profit / Revenues) *100
Profit Markup Profit Markup measures the company's gross profitability, as compared to the cost of revenue.
Calculation: Gross Income / Cost of Revenue
PBIT Margin (Profit Profit Before Interest & Tax Margin shows the profitability of the company before interest expense
Before Interest & Tax) & taxation.
Calculation: {(Net Profit+Interest+Tax) / Revenue} *100
PBT Margin (Profit Profit Before Tax Margin measures the pre-tax income over revenues.
Before Tax)
Calculation: {Income Before Tax / Revenues} *100

Return on Equity Return on Equity measures the rate of return on the ownership interest (shareholders' equity) of

Employed capital investments. ROCE should always be higher than the rate at which the company borrows;
otherwise any increase in borrowing will reduce shareholders' earnings.
Calculation: EBIT / (Total Assets – Current Liabilities)*100

measures how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings.
Calculation: (Net Income / Total Assets)*100
Return on Fixed Return on Fixed Assets measures the company's profitability to its fixed assets (property, plant &
Assets equipment).
Calculation: (Net Income / Fixed Assets) *100
Return on Working Return on Working Capital measures the company's profitability to its working capital.

Cost Ratios

Cost ratios help to understand the costs the company is incurring as a percentage of sales.
Operating costs (% of Operating costs as percentage of total revenues measures the operating costs that a company
Sales) incurs compared to the revenues.
Calculation: (Operating Expenses / Revenues) *100
Administration costs Administration costs as percentage of total revenue measures the selling, general and
(% of Sales) administrative expenses that a company incurs compared to the revenues.
Calculation: (Administrative Expenses / Revenues) *100
Interest costs (% of Interest costs as percentage of total revenues measures the interest expense that a company
Sales) incurs compared to the revenues.
Calculation: (Interest Expenses / Revenues) *100
GlobalData

Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity ratios are used to determine a company's ability to pay off its short-terms debts obligations. Generally, the higher
the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that the company possesses to cover short-term debts. A company's
ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment.
Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be
able to continue as a going concern.
Current Ratio Current Ratio measures a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio gives an
idea of the company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities (debt and payables) with its short-
term assets (cash, inventory, receivables). The higher the current ratio, the more capable the
company is of paying its obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be unable to
pay off its obligations if they came due at that point.
Calculation: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio Quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid
assets.
Calculation: (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities
Cash Ratio Cash ratio is the most stringent and conservative of the three short-term liquidity ratio. It only looks
at the most liquid short-term assets of the company, which are those that can be most easily used
to pay off current obligations. It also ignores inventory and receivables, as there are no assurances
that these two accounts can be converted to cash in a timely matter to meet current liabilities.
Calculation: {(Cash & Bank Balance + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities)}

Leverage Ratios

Leverage ratios are used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the company's methods of
financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several different ratios, but the main factors looked
at include debt, equity, assets and interest expenses.
Debt to Equity Ratio Debt to Equity Ratio is a measure of a company's financial leverage. The debt/equity ratio also
depends on the industry in which the company operates. For example, capital-intensive industries
tend to have a higher debt-equity ratio.
Calculation: Total Liabilities / Shareholders Equity
Debt to Capital Ratio Debt to capital ratio gives an idea of a company's financial structure, or how it is financing its
operations, along with some insight into its financial strength. The higher the debt-to-capital ratio,
the more debt the company has compared to its equity. This indicates to investors whether a
company is more prone to using debt financing or equity financing. A company with high debt-to-
capital ratios, compared to a general or industry average, may show weak financial strength
because the cost of these debts may weigh on the company and increase its default risk.
Calculation: {Total Debt / (Total assets - Current Liabilities)}
Interest Coverage Interest Coverage Ratio is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on
Ratio outstanding debt, calculated as earnings before interest & tax by interest expense.
Calculation: EBIT / Interest Expense
GlobalData

Efficiency Ratios

Efficiency ratios measure a company's effectiveness in various areas of its operations, essentially looking at maximizing its
use of resources.
Fixed Asset Turnover Fixed Asset Turnover ratio indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to generate
sales. A higher ratio indicates the business has less money tied up in fixed assets for each
currency unit of sales revenue. A declining ratio may indicate that the business is over-invested in
plant, equipment, or other fixed assets.
Calculation: Net Sales / Fixed Assets
Asset Turnover Asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's use of its assets in generating sales
revenue to the company. A higher asset turnover ratio shows that the company has been more
effective in using its assets to generate revenues.
Calculation: Net Sales / Total Assets
Current Asset Current Asset Turnover indicates how efficiently the business uses its current assets to generate
Turnover sales.
Calculation: Net Sales / Current Assets
Inventory Turnover Inventory Turnover ratio shows how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a
period. A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies
either strong sales or ineffective buying.
Calculation: Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory
Working Capital Working Capital Turnover is a measurement to compare the depletion of working capital to the
Turnover generation of sales. This provides some useful information as to how effectively a company is
using its working capital to generate sales.
Calculation: Net Sales / Working Capital
Capital Employed Capital employed turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's use of its equity in
Turnover generating sales revenue to the company.
Calculation: Net Sales / Shareholders Equity
Capex to sales Capex to Sales ratio measures the company's expenditure (investments) on fixed and related
assets' effectiveness when compared to the sales generated.
Calculation: (Capital Expenditure / Sales) *100
Net income per Net income per Employee looks at a company's net income in relation to the number of employees
Employee they have. Ideally, a company wants a higher profit per employee possible, as it denotes higher
productivity.
Calculation: Net Income / No. of Employees

Revenue per Revenue per Employee measures the average revenue generated per employee of a company.
Employee This ratio is most useful when compared against other companies in the same industry. Generally,
a company seeks the highest revenue per employee.
Calculation: Revenue / No. of Employees
Efficiency Ratio Efficiency Ratio is used to calculate a bank's efficiency. An increase means the company is losing
a larger percentage of its income to expenses. If the efficiency ratio is getting lower, it is good for
the bank and its shareholders.
Calculation: Non-interest expense / Total Interest Income
