Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

On April 23, 2009, Occidental Petroleum Corporation announced that its net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $368 million ($0.45 per diluted share). Results for the quarter were impacted by certain non-core charges. Core results for the first quarter of 2009 were $407 million ($0.50 per diluted share).

 

Oil and Gas

 

Oil and gas segment earnings were $545 million for the first quarter of 2009. After excluding rig termination costs of $8 million, the first quarter 2009 core results were $553 million, compared with $2.9 billion for the same period in 2008. The $2.3 billion decrease in the first quarter 2009 results reflected lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A rates.

 

For the first quarter of 2009, daily oil and gas sales volumes averaged 654,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), compared with 607,000 BOE per day in the first quarter of 2008. Volume increases were 22,000 BOE per day in domestic operations, largely in the Rockies and California, 15,000 BOE per day in Oman, and 10,000 BOE per day in Argentina.

 

Oxy’s realized price for worldwide crude oil was $39.29 per barrel for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $86.75 per barrel for the first quarter of 2008. Domestic realized gas prices decreased from $8.15 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first quarter of 2008 to $3.54 per MCF for the first quarter of 2009.

 

Oil and gas cash production costs, including taxes – other than on income, declined from $14.75 per BOE for the total year 2008 to $12.19 per BOE for the first quarter of 2009.

 

Chemicals

Chemical segment earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $169 million, compared with $179 million for the same period in 2008. The first quarter of 2009 results reflect higher caustic soda margins, offset by lower volumes in chlorine, caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride.

 

 

1

 

Midstream, Marketing and Other

 

Midstream segment earnings were $14 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $123 million for the first quarter of 2008. The earnings decline for the first quarter of 2009 reflects significantly lower NGL prices in the gas processing business and negative mark to market adjustments in crude oil marketing.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this report that contain words such as "will," "expect" or "estimate," or otherwise relate to the future, are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: global commodity price fluctuations and supply/demand considerations for oil, gas and chemicals; not successfully completing (or any material delay in) any expansions, field development, capital projects, acquisitions, or dispositions; higher-than-expected costs; political risk; exploration risks, such as drilling of unsuccessful wells; operational interruptions and changes in tax rates. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this release.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTING EARNINGS

Occidental's results of operations often include the effects of significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. Therefore, management uses a measure called "core results," which excludes those items. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from management's performance, but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing Occidental's earnings performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term. Core results is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

For Immediate Release: April 23, 2009

Occidental Petroleum Announces First Quarter Net Income

LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2009 - -- Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) announced that its net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $368 million ($0.45 per diluted share). Results for the quarter were impacted by certain non-core charges. Core results for the first quarter of 2009 were $407 million ($0.50 per diluted share).

In announcing the results, Dr. Ray R. Irani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the first quarter, Occidental achieved a nearly eight percent growth in year-over-year oil and gas production. In addition, we have made significant progress in our continuing cost reduction efforts and we will continue to invest in the long-term growth of the Company. I am pleased with our effectiveness in adjusting to the ongoing volatile market conditions."

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas segment earnings were $545 million for the first quarter of 2009. After excluding rig termination costs of $8 million, the first quarter 2009 core results were $553 million, compared with $2.9 billion for the same period in 2008. The $2.3 billion decrease in the first quarter 2009 results reflected lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A rates.

For the first quarter of 2009, daily oil and gas sales volumes averaged 654,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), compared with 607,000 BOE per day in the first quarter of 2008. Volume increases were 22,000 BOE per day in domestic operations, largely in the Rockies and California, 15,000 BOE per day in Oman, and 10,000 BOE per day in Argentina.

Oxy’s realized price for worldwide crude oil was $39.29 per barrel for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $86.75 per barrel for the first quarter of 2008. Domestic realized gas

 

prices decreased from $8.15 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first quarter of 2008 to $3.54 per MCF for the first quarter of 2009.

Oil and gas cash production costs, including taxes – other than on income, declined from $14.75 per BOE for the total year 2008 to $12.19 per BOE for the first quarter of 2009.

Chemicals

Chemical segment earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $169 million, compared with $179 million for the same period in 2008. The first quarter of 2009 results reflect higher caustic soda margins, offset by lower volumes in chlorine, caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride.

Midstream, Marketing and Other

Midstream segment earnings were $14 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $123 million for the first quarter of 2008. The earnings decline for the first quarter of 2009 reflects significantly lower NGL prices in the gas processing business and negative mark to market adjustments in crude oil marketing.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTING EARNINGS

Occidental's results of operations often include the effects of significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. Therefore, management uses a measure called "core results," which excludes those items. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from management's performance, but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing Occidental's earnings performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term. Core results is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

First Quarter 2009 Earnings Announcement

 

April 23, 2009

Los Angeles, California

 

 

Thank you Chris.

Net income for the quarter was $368 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 billion, or $2.22 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. The 2009 first quarter net income includes after-tax non-core charges of $39 million, including $21 million for severance, $10 million for railcar leases, $5 million for rig termination costs and $3 million for discontinued operations. Core results were $407 million, or $0.50 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $1.8 billion, or $2.19 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

Here’s the segment breakdown for the first quarter.

Oil and gas first quarter 2009 segment earnings were $545 million. After excluding the rig termination costs, the first quarter 2009 core results were $553 million, compared to $2.9 billion for the first quarter of 2008.

 

The $2.3 billion decrease in the first quarter of 2009 earnings was due to lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A

 

 

 

rates. Occidental’s average realized crude oil price in the 2009 first quarter was $39.29 per barrel, a decrease of 55 percent from the $86.75 per barrel in the comparable period of 2008. Oxy’s domestic average realized gas price for the quarter was $3.54 per mcf, compared with $8.15 per mcf for the first quarter of 2008.

 

Worldwide oil and gas sales volumes for the first quarter of 2009 were 654,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of nearly 8 percent, compared with 607,000 BOE per day in the first quarter of last year. The increase includes 22,000 BOE per day from domestic operations, 15,000 BOE per day from Oman and 10,000 BOE per day from Argentina. About half of the domestic volume increase was attributable to 2008 acquisitions.

 

The Middle East/North Africa included higher production sharing volumes net of the change in Libya contract terms, of 10,000 BOE per day.

 

The first quarter of 2009 oil and gas sales volumes were 34,000 BOE per day higher than the fourth quarter of 2008 volumes.

 

Exploration expense was $58 million in the quarter. Over the course of a little over a year, Occidental has drilled 35 wells seeking non-traditional hydrocarbon bearing zones in California. Of these wells, 13 are commercial and 12 are currently being evaluated. Four of these wells currently account for approximately 28 million cubic feet of gas and 3,000 barrels of liquids of gross daily production. While it is too early to speculate on the ultimate reserves and production associated with this activity, it is progressing nicely. We will continue to invest in this program despite weak gas prices since we currently believe that total costs

 

 

2

 

 

 

(Finding and developing and lifting) will be less than $10.00 per BOE. We expect to drill approximately 20 exploration wells in California this year. Occidental holds approximately 1.1 million acres of net fee minerals and leasehold in California which have been acquired mostly in the last few years to exploit these opportunities.

 

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and property taxes, were $10.48 a barrel for the three months of 2009, a 13.6 percent decline from last year's twelve-month costs of $12.13 a barrel. This decline is due to lower workover, maintenance and utilities costs and the effect of higher production sharing volumes. These lower costs are in line with our fourth quarter guidance where we indicated we are actively renegotiating our supplier contracts and laying down rigs.

 

Taxes – other than on income were $1.71 per barrel for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.62 per barrel for all of 2008. These costs, which are sensitive to product prices, reflect lower crude oil and gas prices in the 2009 first quarter.

Chemical segment earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $169 million, compared to our guidance of $100 million. The higher earnings were attributable primarily to higher caustic soda margins. Chemicals earned $179 million in last year's first quarter.

Midstream segment earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $14 million, compared to $123 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decline in earnings was due to significantly lower NGL realized prices in the gas processing business and negative mark to market adjustments in crude oil marketing.

Non-core adjustments for the first quarter of 2009 included a $32 million pre-tax charge for severance. We do not expect to record any material additional amounts in 2009. Additionally, we recorded a $15 million pre-tax charge related to railcar sub-leases to Lyondell, which are being restructured as a result of Lyondell entering into bankruptcy.

The worldwide effective tax rate was 39 percent for the first quarter of 2009, compared with our guidance of 46 percent. The decrease in rate reflects tax benefits resulting from the relinquishment of international exploration contracts. Occidental generally records no tax benefit on foreign expensed exploration until the project is relinquished.

Capital spending for the first quarter of 2009 was $1.1 billion. As I mentioned in the fourth quarter guidance, our capital run rate in the first quarter of 2009 is greater than the $3.5 billion total year level and will decline throughout the year. We expect that the second quarter capital will be in line with a $3.5 billion annual run rate.

Cash flow from operations for the three months of 2009 was about $1.3 billion, before working capital changes. We used about $500 million for payments related to higher capital spending and other operating expenses during the fourth quarter of 2008 which were accrued at yearend. We used $1.2 billion of the company’s cash flow to fund capital expenditures and acquisition costs and $260 million to pay dividends. Based on our annual capital spending forecast, we expect our second quarter capital run rate to drop by about $300 million. The higher first quarter 2009 capital run rate, the payments related to the fourth quarter 2008 capital and other net cash outflows decreased our $1.8 billion cash balance at the end of last year by $700 million to $1.1 billion at March 31.

The weighted average basic shares outstanding for the three months were 811.8 million and the weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 814.4 million.

As we look ahead in the current quarter:

 

We expect oil and gas production sales volumes to be in the range of 640,000 to 660,000 BOE per day during the second quarter, at about current oil prices. This volume range reflects increases in Dolphin, Oman and Qatar.

With regard to prices - -

 

At current market prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices impacts oil and gas quarterly earnings before income taxes by about $36 million.

 

A swing of 50-cents per million BTUs in domestic gas prices has a $20 million impact on quarterly earnings before income taxes. While current NYMEX gas price is around $3.70, prices in the Permian and California are currently about $3.00, while Rockies gas is in the $2.50 range.

Additionally -

 

We expect exploration expense to be about $60 million for seismic and drilling for our exploration programs.

 

We expect chemical segment earnings for the second quarter to be $100 million. Weakness in the global alumina and pulp & paper markets are expected to result in reduced demand and margins for caustic soda. Domestically, weak construction and housing markets are expected to continue to reduce demand levels for vinyl.

We expect our combined worldwide tax rate in the second quarter of 2009, to be about 43 percent at current oil prices. Our first quarter U. S. and foreign tax rates are included in the “Investor Relations Supplemental Schedule.”

 

We continue to negotiate cost reductions across all areas including, but not limited to, drilling rigs, service rigs, drilling services, artificial lift, maintenance, repair and operations (MRO), chemicals and oil country tubular goods (OCTG). On average, in the current price environment, we expect a 20% to 25% reduction across all areas from the peak 2008 levels. The attached chart indicates the range of reductions we are realizing across the broader categories and may not reflect the trend across the entire industry.

 

The effect of these reductions is not yet in the first quarter run rate. We have realized about one third of the reductions that we need to achieve in the current price environment. We expect the full effect to be realized over the balance of the year and into 2010. These cost reductions impact both capital spending and operating costs.

 

Copies of the press release announcing our first quarter earnings and the Investor Relations Supplemental Schedules are available on our website at www.oxy.com or through the SEC’s EDGAR system.

Now we’re ready to take your questions.

+ 7.7% year-over-year

Year-over-year sales volume increase includes:

acquisitions in 2008);

+ 15 mboe/d from Oman;

+ 10 mboe/d from Argentina.

Middle East/North Africa included higher PSC volumes net of
the change in Libya contract terms, of 10 mboe/d.

Sales volumes in 1Q09 increased by 34 mboe/d vs. 4Q08, or
5.5%.

Exploration expense was $58 mm in 1Q09.

First Quarter 2009 Earnings – Oil & Gas Segment
California Exploration

Oxy has drilled 35 wells seeking non-traditional hydrocarbon
bearing zones in CA over the course of a little over a year.

Of these wells, 13 are commercial and 12 are currently being
evaluated.

Four of these wells currently account for approximately 28 mmcf/d
feet of gas and 3 mb/d of gross liquids production.

While too early to speculate on the ultimate reserves and
production tied to this activity, it is progressing nicely.

We will continue to invest in this program despite weak
natural gas prices as we currently believe that total costs
(F&D and lifting) will be less than $10 per boe.

We expect to drill approximately 20 exploration wells in CA
this year.

Oxy holds approximately 1.1 mm acres of net fee minerals
and leasehold in CA which have been acquired mostly in the
last few years to exploit these opportunities.

First Quarter 2009 Earnings – Oil & Gas Segment
Cash Production Costs and Taxes

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and
property taxes, were $10.48 per boe in 1Q09.

This represents a 13.6% decline from 2008 full-year costs of $12.13
per boe.

This decline is due to lower workover, maintenance and utilities
costs, and the effect of higher PSC volumes.

These lower costs are in line with our 4Q08 guidance where we
indicated we are actively renegotiating our supplier contracts and
laying down rigs.

Taxes – other than on income were $1.71 per boe for 1Q09
vs. $2.62 per boe for all of 2008.

These costs, which are sensitive to product prices, reflect lower
crude oil and gas prices during 1Q09.

First Quarter 2009 Earnings –
Non-core Adjustments, Taxes and Capital Spending

Non-core adjustments for 1Q09 included:

$32 mm pre-tax severance charge;

We do not expect to record any material additional severance charges in 2009.

$15 mm pre-tax charge related to railcar sub-leases to Lyondell, which
are being restructured as a result of Lyondell entering into bankruptcy.

Worldwide effective tax rate was 39% in 1Q09 vs. our
guidance of 46%

Decrease in rate reflects tax benefits from the relinquishment of
international exploration contracts;

Oxy generally records no tax benefit on foreign expensed exploration
until the project is relinquished.

Capital spending was $1.1 B in 1Q09

As noted on our 4Q08 conference call, our capital run rate in 1Q09 is
greater than the $3.5 B full year level, and will decline throughout 2009;

We expect our 2Q09 capital run rate to drop by about $300 mm, and
that this rate will be in line with the $3.5 B annual run rate.

First Quarter 2009 Earnings – 2Q09 Outlook

We expect oil and gas production sales volumes to be in the
range of 640 to 660 mboe/d in 2Q09 at current oil prices.

This volume range reflects increases in Dolphin, Oman, and Qatar.

Commodity Price Sensitivity - Earnings

At current market prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices impacts
oil and gas quarterly earnings before income taxes by about $36 mm;

A change of $0.50 per mmBTU in domestic gas prices has a $20 mm
impact on quarterly earnings before income taxes;

Although current NYMEX gas price is around $3.70 per mmBTU, gas
prices in the Permian and California are currently about $3.00 per
mmBTU, while Rockies gas is in the $2.50 per mmBTU range.

We expect 2Q09 exploration expense to be about $60 mm for
seismic and drilling for our exploration programs.

 

 

13

 

14

First Quarter 2009 Earnings – 2Q09 Outlook

We expect 2Q09 Chemical earnings to be $100 mm.

Weakness in the global alumina and pulp & paper markets are
expected to result in reduced demand and margins for caustic soda;

Domestically, weak construction and housing markets are expected
to continue to reduce demand levels for vinyl.

We expect our combined worldwide tax rate to be about
43% in 2Q09, at current oil prices.

15

First Quarter 2009 Earnings –

Change In Contract Terms

We continue to negotiate cost reductions across all areas including, but
not limited to, drilling rigs, service rigs, drilling services, artificial lift, MRO,
chemicals and OCTG.

On average, in the current price environment, we expect a 20% to 25% reduction
across all areas from the 2008 peak levels.

The effect of these reductions is not yet in the 1Q09 run rate.

We have realized about one third of the reductions that we need to achieve in the
current price environment, and we expect the full effect to be realized over the
balance of 2009 and into 2010.

These cost reductions impact both capital spending and operating costs.
