(1) Included in the Balance Sheet lines: Notes and accounts receivable - net and Other assets, including intangibles - net.
(2) Included in the Balance Sheet line: Investments, advances and long-term receivables.
(3) Advances to/receivables from equity companies and long-term obligations to equity companies are mainly designated as hierarchy level 3
inputs. The fair value is calculated by discounting the remaining obligations by a rate consistent with the credit quality and industry of the
equity company.
(4) Included in the Balance Sheet lines: Investments, advances and long-term receivables and Other assets, including intangibles - net.
(5) Included in the Balance Sheet lines: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term obligations.
(6) Excluding finance lease obligations.
(7) Included in the Balance Sheet line: Other long-term obligations. Includes contingent consideration related to a prior year acquisition
where fair value is based on expected drilling activities and discount rates.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, the Corporation had $1.9 billion and $0.5 billion of collateral under
master netting arrangements not offset against the derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily related
to initial margin requirements.
The Corporation may use non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign currency-denominated debt, as hedges of its
net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Under this method, the change in the carrying value of the financial instruments
due to foreign exchange fluctuations is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2026, the
Corporation has designated $3.4 billion of its Euro-denominated debt and related accrued interest as a net investment hedge of
its European business. The net investment hedge is deemed to be perfectly effective.
The Corporation had undrawn short-term committed lines of credit of $7.3 billion and undrawn long-term committed lines of
credit of $0.3 billion as of the end of first quarter 2026.
Derivative Instruments
The Corporation’s size, strong capital structure, geographic diversity, and the complementary nature of its business segments
reduce the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates, and interest rates. In addition,
the Corporation uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns
from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income
on a net basis in the line “Sales and other operating revenue" and in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in “Cash Flows
from Operating Activities” and included before-tax realized and unrealized losses of $3.8 billion and gains of $19 million for
the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Corporation’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for
under hedge accounting. At times, the Corporation also enters into currency and interest rate derivatives, none of which are
material to the Corporation’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, or results of operations for the
periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Corporation operates a program to hedge certain of its fixed-rate debt instruments against changes in fair value due to
changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. This program utilizes fair value hedge accounting. The derivative (hedging)
instruments are fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps, with settlement dates that correspond to the interest payments associated
with the fixed-rate debt (hedged item). Changes in the fair values of the hedging instruments are perfectly offset by changes in
the fair values of the hedged items; the effects of these changes in fair values are recorded in "Interest expense" in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. This program was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of the end of
first quarter 2026.
Credit risk associated with the Corporation’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative
clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The Corporation maintains a
system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting, and monitoring of derivative activity.
The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was as follows:
