Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Phillips 66
 
Note 1—Interim Financial Information

The interim financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Phillips 66 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Note 2—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners LP, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and natural gas liquids pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation and midstream assets. We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners as we determined that Phillips 66 Partners is a VIE and we are the primary beneficiary. As general partner of Phillips 66 Partners, we have the ability to control its financial interests, as well as the ability to direct the activities of Phillips 66 Partners that most significantly impact its economic performance. See Note 20—Phillips 66 Partners LP, for additional information.

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on our significant VIEs follows:

Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP) is a limited partnership that owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery. As discussed more fully in Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in August 2009, a call right was exercised to acquire the 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP of the co-venturer, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA). That exercise was challenged, and the dispute has been arbitrated. In April 2014, the arbitral tribunal upheld the exercise of the call right and the acquisition of the 50 percent ownership interest. In July 2014, PDVSA filed a petition to vacate the tribunal’s award. Until this matter is resolved, we will continue to use the equity method of accounting for MSLP, and the VIE analysis below is based on the ownership and governance structure in place prior to the exercise of the call right. MSLP is a VIE because, in securing lender consents in connection with our separation from ConocoPhillips in 2012 (the Separation), we provided a 100 percent debt guarantee to the lender of the 8.85% Senior Notes issued by MSLP. PDVSA did not participate in the debt guarantee. In our VIE assessment, this disproportionate debt guarantee, plus other liquidity support provided jointly by us and PDVSA independently of equity ownership, results in MSLP not being exposed to all potential losses. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary while our call exercise award is subject to vacatur because under the partnership agreement the co-venturers jointly direct the activities of MSLP that most significantly impact economic performance. At March 31, 2015, our maximum exposure to loss represented the outstanding debt principal balance of $189 million and our investment of $135 million.

We have a 50 percent ownership interest with a 50 percent governance interest in Excel Paralubes (Excel). Excel is a VIE because, in securing lender consents in connection with the Separation, ConocoPhillips provided a 50 percent debt guarantee to the lender of the 7.43% senior secured bonds issued by Excel. We provided a full indemnity to ConocoPhillips for this debt guarantee. Our co-venturer did not participate in the debt guarantee. In our assessment of the VIE, this debt guarantee, plus other liquidity support up to $60 million provided jointly by us and our co-venturer independently of equity ownership, results in Excel not being exposed to all potential losses. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we and our co-venturer jointly direct the activities of Excel that most significantly impact economic performance. We use the equity method of accounting for this investment. At March 31, 2015, our maximum exposure to loss represented 50 percent of the outstanding debt principal balance of $58 million, or $29 million, plus half of the $60 million liquidity support, or $30 million. The book value of our investment in Excel at March 31, 2015, was $143 million.

In 2013, we entered into a multi-year consignment fuels agreement with a marketer that we supported with debt guarantees. Pursuant to the consignment fuels agreement, we own the fuels inventory, control the fuel marketing at each site, and pay a fixed monthly fee to the marketer. In November 2014, the marketer refinanced its debt which allowed us to remove the debt guarantees in exchange for an extended term on the consignment fuels agreement. We determined the consignment fuels agreement creates a variable interest in the marketer, with the marketer not being exposed to all potential losses as the consignment fuels agreement provides liquidity to the marketer for its debt service costs. We determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have an ownership interest in the marketer or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the marketer. At March 31, 2015, our maximum exposure to loss represented the fixed annual contractual payments under the consignment fuels agreement of approximately $90 million.


Note 3—Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

 
Millions of Dollars

December 31

Crude oil and petroleum products
$
3,911

 
3,141

Materials and supplies
255

 
256

 
$
4,166

 
3,397



Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $3,798 million and $3,004 million at March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories amounted to approximately $3,200 million and $3,000 million at March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Certain planned year-to-date reductions in inventory caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values. These liquidations decreased net income by approximately $36 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, while the impact to net income during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, was not material.


Note 4—Business Combinations

We completed the following acquisitions in 2014:

In August 2014, we acquired a 7.1 million-barrel-storage-capacity crude oil and petroleum products terminal located near Beaumont, Texas, to promote growth plans in our Midstream segment.
In July 2014, we acquired Spectrum Corporation, a private label and specialty lubricants business headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The acquisition supports our plans to selectively grow stable-return businesses in our Marketing and Specialties (M&S) segment.
In March 2014, we acquired our co-venturer’s interest in an entity that operates a power and steam generation plant located in Texas that is included in our M&S segment. This acquisition provided us with full operational control over a key facility providing utilities and other services to one of our refineries.

We funded each of these acquisitions with cash on hand. Total cash consideration paid in 2014 was $741 million, net of cash acquired. Cash consideration paid for acquisitions is included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line of our consolidated statement of cash flows. In the aggregate, as of December 31, 2014, we provisionally recorded $471 million of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E), $232 million of goodwill, $196 million of intangible assets, $70 million of net working capital and $109 million of long-term liabilities. Our acquisition accounting for the transactions completed in March 2014 and August 2014 is final. The completion of our acquisition accounting for the July 2014

7


transaction is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2015. There were no material measurement period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2015.


Note 5—Assets Held for Sale or Sold

In July 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell the Bantry Bay terminal in Ireland, which was included in our Refining segment. Accordingly, the net assets of the terminal were classified as held for sale, which resulted in a before-tax impairment of $12 million from reducing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to estimated fair value less costs to sell. As of December 31, 2014, long-lived assets of $77 million were recorded in the “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” line of our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, an immaterial amount of long-term liabilities were recorded in the “Other accruals” line of our consolidated balance sheet. In February 2015, we completed the sale of the terminal. At the time of the disposition, the terminal had a net carrying value of $68 million, which primarily related to net PP&E. An immaterial gain was recognized on this disposition.

In February 2014, we exchanged the stock of Phillips Specialty Products Inc. (PSPI), a flow improver business, which was included in our M&S segment, for shares of Phillips 66 common stock owned by another party. The PSPI share exchange resulted in the receipt of approximately 17.4 million shares of Phillips 66 common stock, which are held as treasury shares, and the recognition of a before-tax gain of $696 million. At the time of the disposition, PSPI had a net carrying value of $685 million, which primarily included $481 million of cash and cash equivalents, $60 million of net PP&E and $117 million of allocated goodwill. Cash and cash equivalents of $450 million included in PSPI’s net carrying value is reflected as a financing cash outflow in the “Share exchange—PSPI transaction” line of our consolidated statement of cash flows. Revenues, income before-tax and net income from discontinued operations, excluding the recognized before-tax gain of $696 million, were not material for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

In July 2013, we completed the sale of the Immingham Combined Heat and Power Plant (ICHP), which was included in our M&S segment. A gain was deferred due to an indemnity provided to the buyer, which expired in April 2015. A portion of the deferred gain is denominated in a foreign currency; accordingly, the amount of the deferred gain translated into U.S. dollars is subject to change based on currency fluctuations. Absent claims under the indemnity, the deferred gain will be recognized into earnings as our exposure under this indemnity declines. As of December 31, 2014, the deferred gain was $243 million. In the first quarter of 2015, we recognized $110 million of the previously deferred gain, which is recorded in the “Net gain on dispositions” line of our consolidated statement of income. As of March 31, 2015, the remaining deferred gain was $132 million, all of which we expect to recognize in the second quarter of 2015.

WRB
WRB is a 50-percent-owned business venture with Cenovus Energy Inc. (Cenovus). Cenovus was obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus accrued interest, to WRB over a 10-year period that began in 2007. In the first quarter of 2014, Cenovus prepaid its remaining balance under this obligation. As a result, WRB declared a special dividend, which was distributed to the co-venturers in March 2014. Of the $1,232 million that we received, $760 million was considered a return on our investment in WRB (an operating cash inflow), and $472 million was considered a return of our investment in WRB (an investing cash inflow). The return of investment portion of the dividend was included in the “Proceeds from asset dispositions” line in our consolidated statement of cash flows. At March 31, 2015, the book value of our investment in WRB was $1,898 million and our basis difference was $3,326 million.

Other
In April 2015, Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) repaid $450 million of its debt, reducing its long-term debt to approximately $2.6 billion.  REX funded the repayment through member cash contributions. Our 25 percent share was approximately $112 million, which we contributed to REX in April 2015.

MSLP owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery. MSLP processes long residue, which is produced from heavy sour crude oil, for a processing fee. Fuel-grade petroleum coke is produced as a by-product and becomes the property of MSLP. Prior to August 28, 2009, MSLP was owned 50/50 by ConocoPhillips and PDVSA. Under the agreements that govern the relationships between the partners, certain defaults by PDVSA with respect to supply of crude oil to the Sweeny Refinery triggered the right to acquire PDVSA’s 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP, which was exercised on August 28, 2009. PDVSA initiated arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce challenging the exercise of the call right and claiming it was invalid. The arbitral tribunal held hearings on the merits of the dispute in December 2012, and post-hearing briefs were exchanged in March 2013. The arbitral tribunal issued its ruling in April 2014, which upheld the exercise of the call right and the acquisition of the 50 percent ownership interest. In July 2014, PDVSA filed a petition in U.S. district court to vacate the tribunal’s ruling.  Following the Separation, Phillips 66 generally indemnifies ConocoPhillips for liabilities, if any, arising out of the exercise of the call right or otherwise with respect to the joint venture or the refinery. Until this matter is resolved, we will continue to use the equity method of accounting for our investment in MSLP.

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

The numerator of basic earnings per share (EPS) is net income attributable to Phillips 66, reduced by noncancelable dividends paid on unvested share-based employee awards during the vesting period (participating securities). The denominator of basic EPS is the sum of the daily weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented and fully vested stock and unit awards that have not yet been issued as common stock. The numerator of diluted EPS is also based on net income attributable to Phillips 66, which is reduced only by dividend equivalents paid on participating securities for which the dividends are more dilutive than the participation of the awards in the earnings of the periods presented. To the extent unvested stock, unit or option awards and vested unexercised stock options are dilutive, they are included with the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the denominator. Treasury stock is excluded from the denominator in both basic and diluted EPS.

Note 9—Debt

In March 2015, we repaid $800 million of 1.95% Senior Notes upon maturity.

Debt Issuance
During February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners closed on a public offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of:

$300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.646% Senior Notes due 2020.
$500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.605% Senior Notes due 2025.
$300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.680% Senior Notes due 2045.

Phillips 66 Partners utilized a portion of the net proceeds to fund part of the purchase price for its acquisition of our equity interests in Explorer Pipeline Company, DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC, and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC. The remaining proceeds were used to repay existing borrowings from a subsidiary of Phillips 66, fund capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes. See Note 20—Phillips 66 Partners LP, for additional information.

Credit Facilities
At both March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, we had no direct outstanding borrowings under our $5 billion revolving credit agreement, while $51 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by it. At March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, no amount and $18 million, respectively, were outstanding under the $500 million revolving credit agreement of Phillips 66 Partners. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2015, an aggregate $5.4 billion of total capacity was available under these facilities.


Note 10—Guarantees

At March 31, 2015, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.

Guarantees of Joint Venture Debt
In 2012, in connection with the Separation, we issued a guarantee for 100 percent of the 8.85% Senior Notes issued by MSLP in July 1999. At March 31, 2015, the maximum potential amount of future payments to third parties under the guarantee was estimated to be $189 million, which could become payable if MSLP fails to meet its obligations under the senior notes agreement. The senior notes mature in 2019.

Other Guarantees
We have residual value guarantees associated with leases with maximum future potential payments totaling $361 million. We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling $123 million, which consist primarily of guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficits of certain joint ventures and guarantees of the lease payment obligations of a joint venture. These guarantees generally extend up to 9 years or life of the venture.


11


Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into various agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. Agreements associated with these sales include indemnifications for taxes, litigation, environmental liabilities, permits and licenses, supply arrangements, and employee claims; and real estate indemnity against tenant defaults. The provisions of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnifications are related to environmental issues with generally indefinite terms, and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for indemnifications at March 31, 2015, was $216 million. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of our indemnification exposure declines. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. Included in the recorded carrying amount were $102 million of environmental accruals for known contamination that were included in asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs at March 31, 2015. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 11—Contingencies and Commitments.

Indemnification and Release Agreement
In 2012, we entered into the Indemnification and Release Agreement with ConocoPhillips. This agreement governs the treatment between ConocoPhillips and us of matters relating to indemnification, insurance, litigation responsibility and management, and litigation document sharing and cooperation arising in connection with the Separation. Generally, the agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of ConocoPhillips’ business with ConocoPhillips. The agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters.


Note 11—Contingencies and Commitments

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we record receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

12


Environmental
We are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, we are usually only one of many companies alleged to have liability at a particular site. Due to such joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we adjust our accruals accordingly. As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar and time limits.

We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable state sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an undiscounted basis (except those pertaining to sites acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2015, our total environmental accrual was $480 million, compared with $496 million at December 31, 2014. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Legal Proceedings
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required.

Other Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized.

At March 31, 2015, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit and bank guarantees of $665 million (of which $51 million was issued under the provisions of our revolving credit facility, and the remainder was issued as direct bank letters of credit and bank guarantees) related to various purchase and other commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business.

Note 12—Derivatives and Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments
We use financial and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices or to capture market opportunities. Since we are not currently using cash-flow hedge accounting, all gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from commodity derivative contracts have been recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses from derivative contracts held for trading not directly related to our physical business, whether realized or unrealized, have been reported net in “Other income” on our consolidated statement of income. Cash flows from all our derivative activity for the periods presented appear in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Purchase and sales contracts with fixed minimum notional volumes for commodities that are readily convertible to cash (e.g., crude oil and gasoline) are recorded on the balance sheet as derivatives unless the contracts are eligible for, and we elect, the normal purchases and normal sales exception (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell quantities we expect to use or sell over a reasonable period in the normal course of business). We generally apply this normal purchases and normal sales exception to eligible crude oil, refined product, natural gas liquids (NGL), natural gas and power commodity purchase and sales contracts; however, we may elect not to apply this exception (e.g., when another derivative instrument will be used to mitigate the risk of the purchase or sales contract but hedge accounting will not be applied, in which case both the purchase or sales contract and the derivative contract mitigating the resulting risk will be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value). Our derivative instruments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. For further information on the fair value of derivatives, see Note 13—Fair Value Measurements.

Commodity Derivative Contracts—We operate in the worldwide crude oil, refined products, NGL, natural gas and electric power markets and are exposed to fluctuations in the prices for these commodities. These fluctuations can affect our revenues, as well as the cost of operating, investing and financing activities. Generally, our policy is to remain exposed to the market prices of commodities; however, we use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to balance physical systems, meet customer needs, manage price exposures on specific transactions, and do a limited, immaterial amount of trading not directly related to our physical business. We also use the market knowledge gained from these activities to capture market opportunities such as moving physical commodities to more profitable locations, storing commodities to capture seasonal or time premiums, and blending commodities to capture quality upgrades. Derivatives may be used to optimize these activities, which may move our risk profile away from market average prices.

The following table indicates the balance sheet line items that include the fair values of commodity derivative assets and liabilities presented net (i.e., commodity derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted where the right of setoff exists); however, the balances in the following table are presented gross. For information on the impact of counterparty netting and collateral netting, see Note 13—Fair Value Measurements.

The following table summarizes our material net exposures resulting from outstanding commodity derivative contracts. These financial and physical derivative contracts are primarily used to manage price exposure on our underlying operations. The underlying exposures may be from non-derivative positions such as inventory volumes. Financial derivative contracts may also offset physical derivative contracts, such as forward sales contracts. As of March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the percentages of our derivative contract volume expiring within the next 12 months were approximately 98 percent and 99 percent, respectively.

Credit Risk
Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts and trade receivables.

The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, derives from the counterparty to the transaction. Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. We also use futures, swaps and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared with an exchange clearinghouse and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange brokers for receivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements.

Our trade receivables result primarily from the sale of products from, or related to, our refinery operations and reflect a broad national and international customer base, which limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The majority of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less. We continually monitor this exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties and recognize bad debt expense based on historical write-off experience or specific counterparty collectability. Generally, we do not require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments, and master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us or owed to others to be offset against amounts due us.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount. We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and other contracts with variable threshold amounts that are contingent on our credit rating. The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if our credit ratings fall below investment grade. Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many contracts also permit us to post letters of credit as collateral.


15


The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position were not material at March 31, 2015, or December 31, 2014.


Note 13—Fair Value Measurements

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value.
Accounts and notes receivable: The carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value.
Debt: The carrying amount of our floating-rate debt approximates fair value. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is estimated based on quoted market prices.
Commodity swaps: Fair value is estimated based on forward market prices and approximates the exit price at period end. When forward market prices are not available, we estimate fair value using the forward price of a similar commodity, adjusted for the difference in quality or location.
Futures: Fair values are based on quoted market prices obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange, the InterContinental Exchange, or other traded exchanges.
Forward-exchange contracts: Fair value is estimated by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate in effect at the end of the reporting period, which approximates the exit price at that date.

We carry certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which we measure at the reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability), and disclose the quality of these fair values based on the valuation inputs used in these measurements under the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Fair value measured with unadjusted quoted prices from an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value measured either with: 1) adjusted quoted prices from an active market for similar assets or liabilities; or 2) other valuation inputs that are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Fair value measured with unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement.

We classify the fair value of an asset or liability based on the lowest level of input significant to its measurement; however, the fair value of an asset or liability initially reported as Level 3 will be subsequently reported as Level 2 if the unobservable inputs become inconsequential to its measurement or corroborating market data becomes available. Conversely, an asset or liability initially reported as Level 2 will be subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborating market data becomes unavailable. We made no material transfers in or out of Level 1 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of investments to support nonqualified deferred compensation plans and derivative instruments. The deferred compensation investments are measured at fair value using unadjusted prices available from national securities exchanges; therefore, these assets are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. We value our exchange-traded commodity derivatives using closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date, and these are also classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. When exchange-cleared contracts lack sufficient liquidity or are valued using either adjusted exchange-provided prices or non-exchange quotes, we classify those contracts as Level 2. OTC financial swaps and physical commodity forward purchase and sales contracts are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers and price index developers such as Platts and Oil Price Information Service. We corroborate these quotes with market data and classify the resulting fair values as Level 2. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, OTC swaps and physical commodity purchase and sales contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various commodities that

16


result in management’s best estimate of fair value. We classify these contracts as Level 3. Financial OTC and physical commodity options are valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines whether the options are classified as Level 2 or 3. We use a mid-market pricing convention (the mid-point between bid and ask prices). When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

The following tables display the fair value hierarchy for our material financial assets and liabilities either accounted for or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. These values are determined by treating each contract as the fundamental unit of account; therefore, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are shown gross (i.e., without the effect of netting where the legal right of setoff exists) in the hierarchy sections of these tables. These tables also show that our Level 3 activity was not material.

We have master netting arrangements for all of our exchange-cleared derivative instruments, the majority of our OTC derivative instruments, and certain physical commodity forward contracts (primarily pipeline crude oil deliveries). The following tables show the fair value of these contracts on a net basis in the column “Effect of Counterparty Netting,” which is how these also appear on the consolidated balance sheet.

The carrying values and fair values by hierarchy of our material financial instruments and commodity forward contracts, either carried or disclosed at fair value, including any effects of netting derivative assets with liabilities and netting collateral due to right of setoff or master netting agreements, were:

* Physical forward contracts may have a larger value on the balance sheet than disclosed in the fair value hierarchy when the remaining contract term at the reporting date is greater than 12 months and the short-term portion is an asset while the long-term portion is a liability, or vice versa.
** We carry fixed-rate debt on the balance sheet at amortized cost.


The values presented in the preceding tables appear on our balance sheet as follows: for commodity derivative assets and liabilities, see the first table in Note 12—Derivatives and Financial Instruments; rabbi trust assets appear in the “Investments and long-term receivables” line; and floating-rate and fixed-rate debt appear in the “Short-term debt” and “Long-term debt” lines.

In December 2014, we completed the sale of our interest in the Malaysian Refining Company Sdn. Bdh. (MRC). Accordingly, sales of crude oil to MRC and purchases of refined products from MRC are only included in the 2014 period in the table above.

(a)
NGL and other petrochemical feedstocks, along with solvents, were sold to CPChem, and gas oil and hydrogen feedstocks were sold to Excel. Certain feedstocks and intermediate products were sold to WRB. We also acted as agent for WRB in supplying crude oil and other feedstocks, wherein the transactional amounts did not impact operating revenues. In addition, we charged several of our affiliates, including CPChem and MSLP, for the use of common facilities, such as steam generators, waste and water treaters, and warehouse facilities.

(b)
We purchased refined products from WRB. We also acted as agent for WRB in distributing asphalt and solvents, wherein the transactional amounts did not impact purchases. We purchased natural gas and NGL from DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream) and CPChem for use in our refinery processes and other feedstocks from various affiliates. We also paid fees to various pipeline equity companies for transporting finished refined products. In addition, we paid a price upgrade to MSLP for heavy crude processing. We purchased base oils and fuel products from Excel for use in our refining and specialty businesses.

(c)
We paid utility and processing fees to various affiliates.

(d)
We incurred interest expense on a note payable to MSLP.

Note 19—Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 was 28 percent, compared with 33 percent for the corresponding period of 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter of 2014, was primarily attributable to a favorable tax settlement in the United Kingdom and the recognition of a nontaxable gain associated with the sale of ICHP. For additional information on the nontaxable gain, see Note 5—Assets Held for Sale or Sold. The effective tax rate varies from the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily as a result of state tax expense, offset by the manufacturing deduction and foreign operations.


Note 20—Phillips 66 Partners LP

In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation and midstream assets.
On March 2, 2015, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners our equity interests in Explorer Pipeline Company (19.5 percent), DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (33.3 percent), and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (33.3 percent). We account for each of these investments under the equity method of accounting. The total consideration for the transaction was $1,010 million, which consisted of $880 million in cash and the issuance of common units and general partner units to us with an aggregate fair value of $130 million.
On February 23, 2015, Phillips 66 Partners completed a public offering of 5,250,000 common units representing limited partner interests, at a public offering price of $75.50 per unit. The net proceeds at closing were $384 million. Additionally, Phillips 66 Partners closed a public offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. For additional information about the senior notes, see Note 9—Debt.
Phillips 66 Partners used the net proceeds of both offerings to fund the acquisition transaction discussed above and repay existing borrowings from a subsidiary of Phillips 66. The remainder is expected to be used for capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes.
At March 31, 2015, we owned a 69 percent limited partner interest and a 2 percent general partner interest in Phillips 66 Partners, while the public owned a 29 percent limited partner interest. We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners because we control the partnership through our general partner interest (see Note 2—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information). The public’s ownership interest in Phillip’s 66 Partners was $801 million at March 31, 2015, and is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in our financial statements. The most significant assets of Phillips 66 Partners that are available to settle only its obligations were equity investments of $801 million and net PP&E of $465 million at March 31, 2015.


Note 21—New Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We currently have debt issuance costs included as deferred charges in our balance sheet, which will be reclassified as a reduction of debt when we adopt ASU 2015-03.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new standard converged guidance on recognizing revenues in contracts with customers under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU is intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application for public entities is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB issued for comment an exposure draft, “Revenue

23


Recognition - Deferral of the Effective Date of ASU 2014-09,” which will delay implementation for one year. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations.


Note 22—Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

$7.5 billion of our senior notes were issued by Phillips 66, and are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a 100-percent-owned subsidiary. Phillips 66 Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment obligations of Phillips 66 with respect to these debt securities. The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for:

Phillips 66 and Phillips 66 Company (in each case, reflecting investments in subsidiaries utilizing the equity method of accounting).
All other nonguarantor subsidiaries.
The consolidating adjustments necessary to present Phillips 66’s results on a consolidated basis.

This condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. The 2014 quarterly condensed consolidating financial information was revised to eliminate intra-column lending transactions, to realign interest revenue from certain inter-column lending activities to the appropriate column, and to make the associated adjustments required to equity earnings and investments. These changes did not impact the total consolidated amounts.

The terms “earnings” and “loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to net income (loss) attributable to Phillips 66.


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Phillips 66 is an energy manufacturing and logistics company with midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and specialties businesses. At March 31, 2015, we had total assets of $49 billion. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSX.”

Executive Overview
We reported earnings of $987 million in the first quarter of 2015 and generated $1,352 million in cash from operating activities. We used available cash to fund capital expenditures and investments of $1,081 million, pay dividends of $272 million, repurchase $399 million of our common stock, and repay our $800 million of senior notes that came due in the quarter. Phillips 66 Partners LP issued $1,100 million of debt and $384 million of common units to the public. We ended the first quarter of 2015 with $5.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $5.4 billion of total capacity available under our liquidity facilities.

31


Business Environment
The Midstream segment includes our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream). Earnings of DCP Midstream are closely linked to natural gas liquids (NGL) prices, natural gas prices and crude oil prices. Industry NGL prices decreased in the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2014. Ethane prices decreased in the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to excess ethane supply and lower natural gas prices. Propane prices continued to decrease from the first and fourth quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to the decline in crude prices over the period. Natural gas prices decreased in the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2014, as seasonal inventory draws were smaller than market expectations.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent 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 market factors. The chemicals and plastics industry continues to experience higher ethylene margins in regions of the world where production is based upon NGL versus crude-derived feedstocks. In particular, companies with North American light NGL-based crackers benefited from lower-priced feedstocks; however, the ethylene to polyethylene chain margins have compressed in 2015 with the significant decline in crude oil prices that began in late 2014.

Results for our Refining segment depend largely on refining margins, cost control, refinery throughput, and product yields. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil, and it is used within our industry as an indicator for refining margins. The U.S. 3:2:1 crack spread (three barrels of crude oil producing two barrels of gasoline and one barrel of diesel) increased in the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in the first quarter 2015 domestic industry crack spread was due to the average market crude oil price declining more than the average market gasoline price. The crude price decline was driven by factors such as large storage increases at locations like Cushing, Oklahoma. This was further compounded by U.S. Gulf Coast refinery maintenance activities during the first quarter of 2015.

The Northwest Europe benchmark crack spread in the first quarter of 2015 increased compared with the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to the crude price declining more than the average market gasoline price. Crude became oversupplied at a time when European demand for final products and product arbitrage opportunities were bolstered by the lower flat price environment. It is also for these same reasons that the first quarter of 2015 saw an almost 25 percent increase year on year.

Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel margins, base oil margins, lubricant margins and other specialty product margins. These margins are primarily based on market factors, largely determined by the relationship between demand and supply. Marketing fuel margins are influenced by crude oil pricing trends, which drive spot prices for refined products. Generally, in a period of rising crude oil prices, refined product spot prices will increase at a faster pace than the corresponding wholesale “rack” price of products sold to retailers, thereby tightening marketing margins. In a period of falling crude oil prices, the inverse occurs, and marketing margins generally benefit. Gasoline prices benefited from tight supply and the move toward summer blends during the first quarter of 2015.  However, crude oil prices did not decline as sharply as that experienced in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in lower margins in the first quarter of 2015 relative to the fourth quarter of 2014.

Earnings from continuing operations increased $121 million, or 14 percent, in the first quarter of 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to improved refining margins, as well as a $110 million gain from the partial recognition of the previously deferred gain related to the sale in 2013 of the Immingham Combined Heat and Power Plant (ICHP). These items were partially offset by lower equity earnings from CPChem and DCP Midstream.

See the “Segment Results” section, for additional information on our segment results.

Statement of Income Analysis

Sales and other operating revenues for the first quarter of 2015 decreased 43 percent, and purchased crude oil and products decreased 51 percent. These decreases were primarily due to lower prices for petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.

Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 41 percent in the first quarter of 2015, primarily resulting from decreased earnings from CPChem, DCP Midstream, and WRB Refining LP (WRB). Equity in earnings of WRB decreased 41 percent during the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to lower realized refining margins in the Central Corridor as a result of a lower feedstock advantage. See the “Segment Results” section, for additional information on CPChem and DCP Midstream earnings.

Net gain on dispositions for the first quarter of 2015 was $122 million, compared with $7 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase primarily resulted from the partial recognition of the previously deferred gain related to the sale of ICHP in the amount of $110 million. See Note 5—Assets Held for Sale or Sold, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

See Note 19—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates.

The Midstream segment purchases raw natural gas from producers and gathers natural gas through an extensive network of pipeline gathering systems. The natural gas is then processed to extract NGL from the raw gas stream. The remaining “residue” gas is marketed to electric utilities, industrial users and gas marketing companies. Most of the NGLs are fractionated—separated into individual components such as ethane, propane and butane—and marketed as chemical feedstock, fuel or blendstock. In addition, the Midstream segment includes U.S. transportation, pipeline, terminaling, and refining logistics services associated with the movement of crude oil, refined and specialty products, natural gas and NGL, as well as NGL fractionation, trading and marketing businesses in the United States. The Midstream segment includes our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream and the consolidated results of Phillips 66 Partners LP.

Earnings from the Midstream segment decreased $121 million, or 64 percent, in the first quarter of 2015.

Transportation earnings increased $3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase reflected the startup of our Bayway and Ferndale rail unloading facilities in the second half of 2014, the settlement of a previously pending claim, and increased throughput volumes. These items were partially offset by higher operating costs, primarily related to integrity and maintenance activities.


34


Earnings associated with our investment in DCP Midstream decreased $95 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower NGL, crude oil and natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2015, compared with the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by asset growth and improved performance in certain geographic regions. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on market factors impacting this quarter’s results.

DCP Midstream Partners, LP, a master limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, periodically issues limited partner units to the public. These issuances benefited our equity in earnings from DCP Midstream, on an after-tax basis, by $1 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, compared with $30 million in the corresponding period of 2014.

The earnings of our NGL business decreased $29 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease reflected lower realized margins, as well as increased costs associated with growth projects. These items were partially offset by improved equity earnings from our investment in DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals.

Earnings from the Chemicals segment decreased $113 million, or 36 percent, in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by lower ethylene margins due to lower sales prices, lower equity earnings from CPChem’s Middle East equity affiliates, and higher turnaround activity costs. These decreases were partially offset by lower feedstock costs and a decrease in utility costs due to lower natural gas prices. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on market factors impacting this quarter’s results.

The Refining segment buys, sells and refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products (such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels) at 14 refineries, mainly in the United States and Europe.

Earnings for the Refining segment increased $232 million, or 76 percent, in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher realized refining margins resulting from improved secondary products margins and increased market crack spreads, partially offset by lower feedstock advantage and lower clean product differentials. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on market factors impacting this quarter’s results.

Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 84 percent in the first quarter of 2015, compared with 90 percent in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to higher turnaround activities and unplanned downtime.

Effective January 1, 2015, we aligned the results of the activities previously included in “Other Refining” into the Atlantic Basin/Europe, Gulf Coast, Central Corridor, and Western/Pacific refining regions. There were no changes to the consolidated Refining operating segment as a result of this alignment. The new alignment is presented for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, with the prior periods recast for comparability.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels), mainly in the United States and Europe. In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of specialty products (such as base oils and lubricants), as well as power generation operations.

The M&S segment earnings increased $167 million, or 122 percent, in the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to the $110 million partial recognition of the previously deferred gain related to the 2013 sale of ICHP. During the first quarter of 2015, marketing margins benefited from higher renewable fuels blending activities, consignment fuel sales, and positive foreign exchange impacts. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on marketing fuel margins and other market factors impacting this quarter’s results.

The remaining deferred gain of $132 million related to the 2013 sale of ICHP is expected to be recognized in the M&S segment’s earnings in the second quarter of 2015.

Net interest consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest. Net interest increased $12 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a higher average debt principal balance, partially offset by increased capitalized interest.

The category “Other” includes certain income tax expenses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment. The increase in costs for the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to foreign tax credit carryforwards that were utilized during the first quarter of 2014.

* Capital includes total debt and total equity.


To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, but rely primarily on cash generated from operating activities. During the first three months of 2015, we generated $1,352 million in cash from operations, received $1,169 million from Phillips 66 Partners’ issuance of debt, and received $384 million from the issuance of Phillips 66 Partners’ common units to the public. Available cash was primarily used for capital expenditures and investments ($1,081 million), debt repayments ($895 million), repurchases of our common stock ($399 million), dividend payments on our common stock ($272 million), and a related party loan to WRB ($50 million). During the first three months of 2015, cash and cash equivalents increased by $183 million to $5,390 million.

In addition to cash flows from operating activities, we rely on our commercial paper and credit facility programs, asset sales and our ability to issue securities using our shelf registration statement to support our short- and long-term liquidity requirements. We believe current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described below under “Significant Sources of Capital,” will be sufficient to meet our funding requirements in the near and long term, including our capital spending, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, debt repayment and share repurchases.

Significant Sources of Capital

Operating Activities
During the first three months of 2015, cash provided by operating activities was $1,352 million, compared with $1,398 million for the first three months of 2014. Although net income was lower during the first three months of 2015, compared with the first three months of 2014, there were large noncash items benefiting earnings, including the gain on the PSPI exchange in 2014, partially offset by recognition in 2015 of a deferred gain from a 2013 asset disposition. After consideration of these items, underlying earnings for the first three months of 2015 were similar to the comparable period of 2014. Increased positive working capital impacts during the first three months of 2015 were driven mainly by lower inventory builds at reduced commodity prices and decreased receivables, partially offset by decreased payables, as compared with the same period of 2014. These positive impacts were partially offset by decreased distributions during the first three months of 2015 from equity affiliates, including CPChem, DCP Midstream and WRB, compared with the same period of 2014. Operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2014 also benefited from the receipt of a special distribution from WRB, of which $760 million was considered an operating cash flow. For additional information about the WRB special distribution, see Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices, and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.


40


The level and quality of output from our refineries impacts our cash flows. The output at our refineries is impacted by such factors as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability and weather conditions. We actively manage the operations of our refineries and, typically, any variability in their operations has not been as significant to cash flows as that caused by margins and prices.

Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates, including DCP Midstream, CPChem and WRB. During the first three months of 2015, cash from operations included dividends of $119 million from our equity affiliates, compared with $1,410 million during the same period of 2014, which included a special distribution from WRB of $760 million. Due to the low commodity price environment, WRB and DCP Midstream did not make cash distributions in the first quarter of 2015. We and our co-venturer in WRB each made a $50 million cash advance to WRB in the first quarter of 2015 to provide for WRB’s working capital needs. WRB repaid the advance in late April. CPChem distributed $26 million to us in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $135 million in the first quarter of 2014, with the decrease reflecting CPChem’s higher capital spending and lower margin environment. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these companies are not assured.

Contributions to Phillips 66 Partners LP
Effective March 2, 2015, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners our equity interests in Explorer Pipeline Company (19.5 percent), DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (33.3 percent), and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (33.3 percent) for total consideration of $1,010 million. Each of these investments is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Phillips 66 Partners financed the acquisition with $880 million in cash, partially funded by a public offering of common units representing limited partner interests and debt financing, and the issuance to us of 1,587,376 and 139,538 additional common units and general partner units, respectively, with an aggregate fair value of $130 million. See Note 9—Debt and Note 20—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
As of March 31, 2015, no amount had been drawn under our $5 billion credit facility; however, $51 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by this facility. As of March 31, 2015, no amount was outstanding under the $500 million revolving credit agreement of Phillips 66 Partners.

We have a $5 billion commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days. As of March 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Phillips 66 Partners LP Debt and Equity Financing
In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners issued $1.1 billion of debt consisting of:

$300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.646% Senior Notes due 2020.
$500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.605% Senior Notes due 2025.
$300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.680% Senior Notes due 2045.

Interest on each series of the senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners completed a public offering of 5,250,000 common units representing limited partner interests. The net proceeds at closing were $384 million.

Phillips 66 Partners used a portion of the net proceeds of both the debt and equity offerings to fund its acquisition transaction described above. See Note 20—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on this acquisition.

Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities.



41


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In April 2012, in connection with our separation from ConocoPhillips, we entered into an agreement to guarantee 100 percent of certain outstanding debt obligations of Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP). At March 31, 2015, the aggregate principal amount of MSLP debt guaranteed by us was $189 million.

For additional information about guarantees, see Note 10—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Spending” section.

Our debt balance at March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, was $8.9 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively. Our debt-to-capital ratio was 28 percent at both March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014. Excluding Phillips 66 Partners’ debt of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2015, and its noncontrolling interest in our total equity of $801 million, our adjusted debt-to-capital ratio at March 31, 2015, was 26 percent. Our target adjusted debt-to-capital ratio excluding the impact of Phillips 66 Partners is 20-to-30 percent.

On February 4, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per common share. The dividend was paid on March 2, 2015, to holders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2015. We are forecasting annual double-digit dividend rate increases in 2015 and 2016.

During the second half of 2013, we entered into a construction agency agreement and an operating lease agreement with a financial institution for the construction of our new headquarters facility in Houston, Texas. Under the construction agency agreement, we act as construction agent for the financial institution over a construction period of up to three years and eight months, during which time we request cash draws from the financial institution to fund construction costs. Through March 31, 2015, approximately $294 million had been drawn to fund construction costs, of which approximately $268 million is recourse to us should we cancel the project before completion. The operating lease becomes effective after construction is substantially complete and we are able to occupy the facility. The operating lease has a term of five years and provides us the option, at the end of the lease term, to request to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or assist the financial institution in marketing it for resale.

Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized repurchases totaling up to $7 billion of our outstanding common stock. The share repurchases have been and are expected to be funded primarily through available cash. During the first quarter of 2015, we repurchased 5,643,126 shares at a cost of $399 million. Since the inception of our share repurchases in 2012, through March 31, 2015, we have repurchased a total of 78,870,495 shares at a cost of $5,283 million. Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.

* Our share of capital spending, which is self-funded by the equity affiliate.


Midstream
During the first three months of 2015, DCP Midstream had a self-funded capital program, and thus required no new capital infusions from us or our co-venturer. During this period, on a 100 percent basis, DCP Midstream’s capital expenditures and investments were approximately $314 million, primarily for construction activities related to the Zia II, Lucerne 2 and National Helium plants and the Keathley Canyon Connector gas gathering pipeline system, which was placed into service in February 2015, and additional investments in the Sand Hills joint venture.

During the first three months of 2015, capital spending in our Midstream segment included construction activities related to our Sweeny Fractionator One and Freeport Liquid Petroleum Gas Export Terminal projects and spending associated with return, reliability and maintenance projects in our Transportation business. In addition to our Sweeny Fractionator One and Freeport Liquid Petroleum Gas Export Terminal projects, our major construction activities in progress include the development by two of our joint ventures of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline (ETCOP). We own a 25 percent interest in each joint venture, with our co-venturer holding the remaining 75 percent interest and acting as operator of both the DAPL and ETCOP systems.

In April 2015, Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) repaid $450 million of its debt, reducing its long-term debt to approximately $2.6 billion. REX funded the repayment through member cash contributions. Our 25 percent share was approximately $112 million, which we contributed to REX in April 2015.

Chemicals
During the first three months of 2015, CPChem had a self-funded capital program, and thus required no new capital infusions from us or our co-venturer. During this period, on a 100 percent basis, CPChem’s capital expenditures and investments were $504 million, primarily for its U.S. Gulf Coast Petrochemicals Project. We are currently forecasting CPChem’s capital program to remain self-funding through 2015.

Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the first three months of 2015 was primarily for air emission reduction projects to meet new environmental standards, refinery upgrade projects to increase accessibility of advantaged crudes and improve product yields, improvements to the operating integrity of key processing units and safety-related projects.


43


Major construction activities in progress include:

Installation of facilities to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from the fluid catalytic cracker at the Alliance Refinery.
Installation of a crude tank to increase accessibility of waterborne crude at the Los Angeles Refinery.

Generally, our equity affiliates in the Refining segment are intended to have self-funding capital programs.

Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the first three months of 2015 was primarily for reliability and maintenance projects and projects targeted at growing our international marketing business.

Contingencies

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations. These organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. We employ a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.

Environmental
We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other companies in our industry. For a discussion of the most significant of these environmental laws and regulations, including those with associated remediation obligations, see the “Environmental” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 55, 56, 57 and 58 of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

From time to time, we receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the

44


Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. As of December 31, 2014, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 34 sites within the United States. During the first three months of 2015, we settled and closed one site and were notified of one new site, leaving 34 unresolved sites with potential liability at March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, our total environmental accrual was $480 million, compared with $496 million at December 31, 2014. We expect to incur a substantial amount of these expenditures within the next 30 years. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent concerns in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. We consider and take into account future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce such emissions. Laws in this field continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, if enacted, potentially could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project implementation and agency review times, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products. We continue to monitor legislative and regulatory actions and legal proceedings globally relating to GHG emissions for potential impacts on our operations.

For examples of legislation and regulation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations, see the “Climate Change” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 58 and 59 of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We currently have debt issuance costs included as deferred charges in our balance sheet, which will be reclassified as a reduction of debt when we adopt ASU 2015-03.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new standard converged guidance on recognizing revenues in contracts with customers under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU is intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application for public entities is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB issued for comment an exposure draft, “Revenue Recognition - Deferral of the Effective Date of ASU 2014-09,” which will delay implementation for one year. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks at March 31, 2015, do not differ materially from the risks discussed under Item 7A in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 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, 2015, with the participation of management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President 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 and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2015.

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, 2015, 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

The following is a description of reportable legal proceedings, including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, for this reporting period. The information below includes material developments with respect to matters previously reported in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no new matters that arose during the first quarter of 2015. While it is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings were decided adversely to Phillips 66, we expect there would be no material effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, such proceedings are reported pursuant to the SEC regulations.

Our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, six 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.

Matters Previously Reported
In October 2011, we were notified by the Attorney General of the State of California that it was investigating possible violations of regulations relating to the operation of underground storage tanks at gas stations in California. On January 3, 2013, we were served with a lawsuit filed by the California Attorney General that alleges such violations. We have reached an agreement to resolve this lawsuit with a settlement payment of $11.5 million to the State of California.
