General Development of Business

Summary Description of Chevron

Chevron Corporation1, a Delaware corporation, manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates and provides administrative, financial, management and technology support to U.S. and international subsidiaries that engage in integrated energy and chemicals operations. Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing, producing and transporting crude oil and natural gas; processing, liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with liquefied natural gas; transporting crude oil by major international oil export pipelines; transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; carbon capture and storage; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil, refined products and lubricants; manufacturing and marketing of renewable fuels; transporting crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses and fuel and lubricant additives.

A list of the company’s significant subsidiaries is presented in Exhibit 21.1.

Overview of Petroleum Industry

Petroleum industry operations and profitability are influenced by many factors. Prices for crude oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), petroleum products and petrochemicals are generally determined by supply and demand. Production levels from the members of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Russia and the United States are major factors in determining worldwide supply. Demand for crude oil and its products and for natural gas is largely driven by the conditions of local, national and global economies, although weather patterns, the pace of energy transition and taxation relative to other energy sources also play a significant part. Laws and governmental policies, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy and the environment, affect where and how companies invest, conduct their operations, select feedstocks, and formulate their products and, in some cases, limit their profits directly.

Strong competition exists in all sectors of the petroleum and petrochemical industries in supplying the energy, fuel and chemical needs of industry and individual consumers. In the upstream business, Chevron competes with fully integrated, major global petroleum companies, as well as independent and national petroleum companies, for the acquisition of crude oil and natural gas leases and other properties and for the equipment and labor required to develop and operate those properties. In its downstream business, Chevron competes with fully integrated, major petroleum companies, as well as independent refining and marketing, transportation and chemicals entities and national petroleum companies in the refining, manufacturing, sale and marketing of fuels, lubricants, additives and petrochemicals.

Upstream

Reserves

Refer to Table V for a tabulation of the company’s proved reserves by geographic area for each year-end from 2023 through 2025. Reserves governance, technologies used in establishing proved reserves additions, and major changes to proved reserves by geographic area for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, are summarized in the discussion for Table V. Discussion is also provided regarding the nature of, status of, and planned future activities associated with the development of proved undeveloped reserves. The company recognizes reserves for projects with various development periods, sometimes exceeding five years. The external factors that impact the duration of a project include scope and complexity, remoteness or adverse operating conditions, infrastructure constraints, and contractual limitations.

The company’s proved reserves at year-end 2025 were approximately 10.6 billion barrels of oil-equivalent (BOE), eight percent higher than 2024. The largest additions were from the acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess) and extensions and discoveries in shale and tight assets in the Permian Basin, and project approvals in Australia and Guyana. At December 31, 2025, 43 percent of the company’s net proved oil-equivalent reserves were located in the United States, 15 percent were located in Australia and 11 percent were located in Kazakhstan.

Net Production of Crude Oil, Natural Gas Liquids and Natural Gas

The following table summarizes the net production of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas for 2025 and 2024 by the company and its affiliates. Worldwide oil-equivalent production of 3.7 million barrels per day in 2025 was up approximately 12 percent from 2024, mainly due to the acquisition of Hess, completion of the Future Growth Project at Tengizchevroil (TCO), record production in the Permian Basin, and ramp-up of production in the Gulf of America, partially offset by asset sales in Canada and the Republic of Congo. Refer to the Results of Operations section for a detailed discussion of the factors explaining the changes in production for liquids (including crude oil, condensate, NGLs and synthetic oil) and natural gas, and refer to Table V for information on annual production by geographical region.

Delivery Commitments

The company sells crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs from its producing operations under a variety of contractual obligations. Most contracts generally commit the company to sell quantities based on production from specified properties, but some NGLs and natural gas sales contracts specify delivery of fixed and determinable quantities.

In the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver approximately 110 million barrels of NGLs and 830 billion cubic feet of natural gas to third parties and affiliates from 2026 through 2028. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts through a combination of equity production from the company’s proved developed U.S. reserves and third-party purchases. These commitments are primarily based on contracts with indexed pricing terms.

Outside the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver a total of 3.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to third parties and affiliates from 2026 through 2028 mainly from operations in Australia and Israel. The Australia sales contracts contain variable pricing formulas that generally reference the prevailing market price for crude oil, natural gas or other petroleum products at the time of delivery. The sales contracts for Israel contain formulas that generally reflect an initial base price subject to price indexation, Brent-linked or other, over the life of the contract. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from quantities available from production of the company’s proved developed reserves in these countries.

Review of Ongoing Activities in Key Areas

Chevron has exploration and production activities in many of the world’s major hydrocarbon basins. Chevron’s 2025 key upstream activities, some of which are also discussed in the section Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are presented below. The comments include references to “total production” and “net production,” which are defined under “Production” in Exhibit 99.1.

The discussion that follows references the status of proved reserves recognition for significant long lead time projects not on production as well as for projects recently placed on production. Reserves are not discussed for exploration activities or recent discoveries that have not advanced to a project stage, or for mature areas of production that do not have individual projects requiring significant levels of capital or exploratory investment. Projected start-up timing for nonoperated projects are per operator’s estimate.

United States

Upstream activities in the United States are primarily located in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, North Dakota, California and the Gulf of America. Acreage for the United States can be found in the Acreage table. Net daily oil-equivalent production in the United States can be found in the Net Production of Crude Oil, Natural Gas Liquids and Natural Gas table.

Texas/New Mexico As one of the largest producers in the Permian Basin, Chevron continues to develop its advantaged portfolio of more than 1,750,000 net acres in the Delaware and Midland basins in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. In 2025, production reached one million barrels of net oil-equivalent per day. The resource is comprised of stacked formations enabling production of multiple geologic zones from single surface locations, staging the development for optimized capacity utilization of facilities and infrastructure. The company has implemented a factory development strategy utilizing multi-well pads to drill a series of horizontal wells that are subsequently completed using hydraulic fracture stimulation. This manufacturing-style process, combined with advantaged acreage holdings and technological advancements, have enabled productivity improvements across unique geological locations throughout the basin. Acreage transactions enabling longer laterals and the company’s diversified land assets via non-operated joint ventures and royalty positions have also contributed to higher returns. Chevron’s 2025 net daily production in the Permian Basin averaged 435,000 barrels of crude oil, 280,000 barrels of NGLs and 1.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

Chevron sold 70 percent of its working interest in Haynesville shale in East Texas in 2025 while retaining a 30 percent non-operated working interest and an approximately 12.5 percent overriding royalty interest in the newly formed joint venture. Chevron holds approximately 70,000 net acres and obtained a capital carry of $450 million for the development of this area through the sale transaction.

Colorado Chevron is the largest oil and natural gas producer in Colorado, where development is focused across approximately 580,000 net acres in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin. Chevron follows a factory development strategy utilizing multi-well pads to drill a series of horizontal wells that are subsequently completed using hydraulic fracture stimulation. Net daily production in Colorado averaged 125,000 barrels of crude oil, 100,000 barrels of NGLs and 945 million cubic feet of natural gas during the year. Chevron also has operations in Colorado’s Piceance Basin.

North Dakota Chevron holds approximately 469,000 net acres in the Bakken shale play, located in the Williston Basin of North Dakota following its acquisition of Hess.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a global energy company, Chevron is subject to a variety of risks. The following disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect us in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL RISK FACTORS

Chevron is exposed to the effects of changing commodity prices Chevron is primarily in a commodities business that has a history of price volatility. The most significant factor that affects the company’s results of operations are the prices of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, which can be influenced by general economic conditions and level of economic growth, including low or negative growth; industry production and inventory levels; technology advancements, including those in pursuit of a lower carbon economy; production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries or other producers; weather-related damage and disruptions due to other natural or human causes beyond our control; competing fuel prices; geopolitical risks; the pace of energy transition; customer and

Table of Contents

consumer preferences and the use of substitutes; and governmental regulations, policies and other actions regarding the development of oil and gas reserves, as well as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Chevron evaluates the risk of changing commodity prices as a core part of its business planning process. An investment in the company carries significant exposure to fluctuations in global prices of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.

Extended periods of low prices or demand for crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids have had, and in the future can have, a material adverse impact on the company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Among other things, the company’s upstream earnings, cash flows, and capital expenditure programs could be negatively affected, as could its production and proved reserves. Upstream assets may also become impaired. Downstream earnings could be negatively affected because they depend upon the supply and demand for refined products and the associated margins on refined product sales. A significant or sustained decline in liquidity could adversely affect the company’s credit ratings, potentially increase financing costs and reduce access to capital markets. The company may be unable to realize anticipated cost savings, expenditure reductions and asset sales that are intended to compensate for such downturns, and such downturns may also slow the pace and scale at which we are able to invest in our business, including our New Energies businesses. In some cases, transferred liabilities, including for decommissioning of previously divested assets, have returned and may continue to return to the company when an acquirer of those assets subsequently defaults on the assumed transferred liabilities (e.g., bankruptcy). In addition, extended periods of low commodity prices can have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the company’s suppliers, vendors, partners and equity affiliates upon which the company’s own results of operations and financial condition depend.

The scope of Chevron’s business will decline if the company does not successfully develop resources The company is in an extractive business; therefore, if it is not successful in replacing the crude oil and natural gas it produces with good prospects for future organic opportunities or through acquisitions, exploration or technology, the company’s business will decline. Creating and maintaining an inventory of economic projects depends on many factors, including obtaining and renewing rights to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons; drilling success; reservoir optimization; technology advancements; ability to bring long-lead-time, capital-intensive projects to completion on budget and on schedule; partner alignment, including strategic support; and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.

The company’s operations could be disrupted by natural or human causes beyond its control Chevron operates in both urban areas and remote and sometimes inhospitable regions. The company’s operations are therefore subject to disruption from natural or human causes beyond its control, including risks from hurricanes, severe storms, floods, heat waves, and other forms of severe weather; wildfires; ambient temperature increases; sea level rise; war or other military conflicts such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; accidents; civil unrest; political events such as current geopolitical tensions in Venezuela; fires; earthquakes; system failures; cyber threats; terrorist acts; and epidemic or pandemic diseases, some of which may be impacted by climate change and any of which could result in suspension of operations or harm to people or the natural environment.

Chevron’s risk management systems are designed to assess potential physical and other risks to its operations and assets and to plan for their resiliency. While capital investment reviews and decisions incorporate potential ranges of physical risks such as storm severity and frequency, sea level rise, air and water temperature, precipitation, fresh water access, wind speed, and earthquake severity, among other factors, it is difficult to predict with certainty the timing, frequency or severity of such events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations or financial condition.

Cyberattacks and events affecting Chevron’s operational technology networks or other digital infrastructure could have a material adverse impact on the company’s business and results of operations There are numerous and evolving risks to Chevron’s cybersecurity and privacy from cyber threat actors, including criminal hackers, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage and employee malfeasance. These cyber threat actors, whether internal or external to Chevron, are becoming more sophisticated and coordinated in their attempts to access the company’s information technology (IT) systems and data, including the IT systems of cloud providers and other third parties with whom the company conducts business through, without limitation, malicious software; data breaches by employees, insiders or others with authorized access; cyber or phishing-attacks; ransomware; attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and systems; and other electronic security breaches. The cyber risk landscape changes over time due to a variety of internal and external factors, including during organizational changes, relocating work to international geographies, or other corporate transactions; political tensions; war or other military conflicts; or civil unrest. Although Chevron devotes significant resources to prevent unwanted intrusions and to protect its systems and data, whether such data is housed internally or by external third parties, the company has experienced and will continue to experience cyber incidents of varying degrees in the conduct of its

Table of Contents

business. Cyber threat actors could compromise the company’s operational technology networks or other critical systems and infrastructure, resulting in disruptions to its business operations, injury to people, harm to the environment or its assets, disruptions in access to its financial reporting systems, or loss, misuse or corruption of its critical data and proprietary information, including without limitation its intellectual property and business information and that of its employees, customers, partners and other third parties. Any of the foregoing can be exacerbated by a delay or failure to detect a cyber incident or the full extent of such incident. Further, the company is increasingly experiencing cyber incidents related to its third-party vendors. Some third-party vendors house the company’s critical data and proprietary information on their IT systems, including the cloud; others have access to Chevron’s IT systems or provide software through which threat actors could gain access or introduce malware to Chevron’s IT systems. Our use of third-party software, services and support may also result in unintentional, non-malicious events or outages that affect our ability to operate critical business systems. Regardless of the precise method or form, events affecting our networks or digital infrastructure could result in significant financial losses, legal or regulatory violations, reputational harm, and legal liability and could ultimately have a material adverse effect on the company’s business and results of operations.

Chevron is incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into its processes and these technologies may present business, compliance, and reputational risks The company is increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in certain of its processes, information systems and various operations, and expects that AI will assume a more critical role in its operations over time. The use of AI technologies introduces certain risks to the company, including potential dependency on biased or incorrect AI outputs, new or enhanced regulatory requirements, litigation, privacy risks, cybersecurity risks, reputational harm, liability or other adverse consequences, any of which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, other unforeseen risks stemming from either the company’s or third-party service providers’ use and development of AI tools and technologies, or the company’s inability to adopt such technologies at the same pace as its competitors, may arise in the future that could adversely affect its business and results of operations.

The company’s operations have inherent risks and hazards that require significant and continuous oversight Chevron’s results depend on its ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent to operating in the energy industry. The company seeks to minimize these operational risks by carefully designing and building its facilities and conducting its operations in a safe and reliable manner. However, failure to manage these risks effectively could impair our ability to operate and result in unexpected incidents, including releases, explosions or mechanical failures resulting in personal injury, loss of life, environmental damage, loss of revenues, legal liability and/or disruption to operations. Chevron has implemented and maintains a system of corporate policies, standards, processes and systems, behaviors and compliance mechanisms to manage safety, health, environmental, reliability and efficiency risks; to verify compliance with applicable laws and policies; and to respond to and learn from unexpected incidents. In certain situations where Chevron is not the operator, the company may have limited influence and control over third parties, which may limit its ability to manage and control such risks.

The company does not insure against all potential losses, which could result in significant financial exposure The company does not have commercial insurance or third-party indemnities to fully cover all operational risks or potential liability in the event of a significant incident or series of incidents causing catastrophic loss. As a result, the company is, to a substantial extent, self-insured for such events. The company relies on existing liquidity, financial resources and borrowing capacity to meet short-term obligations that would arise from such an event or series of events. The occurrence of a significant incident, series of events, or unforeseen liability for which the company is self-insured, not fully insured or for which insurance recovery is significantly delayed could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

The acquisition of Hess may cause Chevron’s financial results to differ from the company’s expectations or the expectations of the investment community, the company may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, and the acquisition may disrupt the company’s current plans or operations The success of the acquisition of Hess, which closed in July 2025, will depend, in part, on Chevron’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits, including the anticipated run-rate cost synergies, estimated five-year production and free cash flow growth rates, and anticipated higher returns to shareholders over the long-term. Failure to realize anticipated synergies in the expected timeframe, operational challenges, the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns, and unforeseen expenses associated with the acquisition may have an adverse impact on our financial results.

One of our subsidiaries acts as the general partner of a publicly traded limited partnership, Hess Midstream LP, which may involve a potential legal liability One of our subsidiaries acts as the general partner of Hess Midstream, a publicly traded limited partnership. Our control of the general partner of Hess Midstream may increase the possibility that we could be subject to claims of breach of duties owed to Hess Midstream, including claims of conflict of interest. Any liability resulting from such claims could have an adverse impact on our future business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

LEGAL, REGULATORY AND ESG-RELATED RISK FACTORS

Chevron’s business subjects the company to liability risks from litigation or government action The company produces, transports, refines and markets potentially hazardous materials, and it purchases, handles and disposes of other potentially hazardous materials in the course of its business. Chevron’s operations also produce byproducts, which may be considered pollutants. Often these operations are conducted through joint ventures over which the company may have limited influence and control. Any of these activities could result in liability or significant delays in operations arising from private litigation or government action. For example, liability or delays could result from an accidental, unlawful discharge or from new conclusions about the effects of the company’s current or former operations or products on human health or the environment. It is also possible that such liability could be imposed without regard to the company’s causation of or contribution to the asserted damage, or to other mitigating factors.

For information concerning some of the litigation in which the company is involved, see Note 16 Litigation.

Political instability and significant changes in the legal and regulatory environment could harm Chevron’s business The company’s operations, particularly exploration and production, can be affected by changing political, regulatory and economic environments in the various countries in which it operates. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses, to force contract renegotiations, or to impose additional taxes, tariffs, royalties, fees, penalties or other costs. In a number of locations, including the European Union, governments have proposed or imposed direct and indirect obligations with respect to the company’s activities, trade, taxes, and public disclosures, as well as currency exchange controls that might harm the company’s competitiveness, return on investments, or relations with other governments or third parties. In other countries, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries, and internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a government and the company or other governments may adversely affect the company’s operations. Those developments have, at times, significantly affected the company’s operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries. Further, Chevron is required to comply with sanctions and other trade laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions where we operate, such as sanctions imposed in Venezuela and Russia, which, depending upon their scope, could adversely impact the company’s operations and financial results in these countries. In addition, litigation or changes in national, state or local environmental regulations or laws, including those designed to stop or impede the development or production of oil and gas, such as those related to the use of hydraulic fracturing or bans on drilling, or any law or regulation that impacts the demand for our products, could adversely affect the company’s current or anticipated future operations and profitability.

Legislative or regulatory changes in tax laws may expose Chevron to additional tax liabilities Changes in tax laws and regulations around the world are regularly enacted due to political or economic factors beyond the company’s control. Chevron’s taxes in the jurisdictions where the company conducts business activities have been and may be adversely affected by changes in tax laws or regulations, including but not limited to, substantive changes in, reductions in, or the repeal or expiration of, tax incentives. Furthermore, Chevron’s tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities around the world. There is no assurance that taxing authorities or courts will agree with the positions that Chevron has reflected on the company’s tax returns, in which case interest and penalties could be imposed that may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

During periods of high profitability for certain companies or industries, there are often calls for increased taxes on profits, often called “windfall profit” taxes. Governments in various jurisdictions, including California and Australia, have announced, proposed, or implemented windfall profit taxes for companies operating in the energy and oil and gas sectors. Such taxes may be imposed on us or may be increased in the future in these or other jurisdictions. The imposition of, or increase in, such windfall profit taxes could adversely affect the company’s current or anticipated future operations and profitability.

Legislation, regulation, and other government actions and shifting customer and consumer preferences and other private efforts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change could continue to increase Chevron’s operational costs and reduce demand for Chevron’s hydrocarbon and other products, resulting in a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition Chevron has experienced and may be further challenged by increases in the impacts of international and domestic legislation, regulation, or other government actions relating to GHG emissions (e.g., carbon dioxide and methane) and climate change. International agreements and national, regional, and state legislation and regulatory measures that aim to directly or indirectly limit or reduce GHG emissions are in various stages of implementation.

Legislation, regulation, and other government actions related to GHG emissions and climate change could reduce demand for Chevron’s hydrocarbon and other products and/or continue to increase Chevron’s operational costs and reduce its return on investment. Globally, multiple jurisdictions are considering adopting or are in the process of implementing laws or regulations to directly regulate GHG emissions through a carbon tax, a cap-and-trade program, performance standards or other mechanisms, or to attempt to indirectly advance reduction of GHG emissions through restrictive permitting, procurement standards, trade barriers, minimum renewable usage requirements, financing standards, standards or requirements for environmental benefit claims, increased GHG reporting and climate-related disclosure requirements, or tax advantages or other incentives to promote the use of alternative energy, fuel sources or lower-carbon technologies. For example, the company operates in jurisdictions with developing or existing programs, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard program in the U.S., California’s Cap-and-Trade Program and Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and mandates such as the California Air Resources Board Advanced Clean Cars II regulations, as well as other indirect regulation of GHG emissions, which may, among other things, ban or restrict technologies or products that use the company’s products. GHG emissions that may be directly regulated through such efforts include, among others, those associated with the company’s exploration and production of hydrocarbons; power generation; the conversion of crude oil, natural gas and biofeedstocks into refined hydrocarbon products; the processing, liquefaction, and regasification of natural gas; the transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and other products; and customers’ and consumers’ use of the company’s hydrocarbon products. Many of these actions, as well as customers’ and consumers’ preferences and use of the company’s products or substitute products, and actions taken by the company’s competitors in response to legislation and regulations, are beyond the company’s control.

Similar to any significant changes in the regulatory environment, climate change-related legislation, regulation, or other government actions may curtail profitability, as well as render the extraction of the company’s hydrocarbon resources economically infeasible. In particular, GHG emissions-related legislation, regulations, and other government actions, and shifting customer and consumer preferences and other private efforts aimed at reducing GHG emissions may result in increased and substantial capital, compliance, operating, and maintenance costs and could, among other things, reduce demand for hydrocarbons and the company’s hydrocarbon-based products; increase demand for lower carbon products and alternative energy sources; make the company’s products more expensive; adversely affect the economic feasibility of the company’s resources; impact or limit our business plans; and adversely affect the company’s sales volumes, revenues, margins and reputation. For example, some jurisdictions are in various stages of design, adoption, and implementation of policies and programs that cap emissions and/or require short-, medium-, and long-term GHG reductions by operators at the asset or facility level, which may not be technologically feasible, or which could require significant capital expenditure, increase costs of or limit production, result in impairment of assets and limit Chevron’s ability to cost-effectively reduce GHG emissions across its global portfolio. Additionally, some jurisdictions are in various stages of enacting or implementing legislation that imposes retroactive liability on estimated past GHG emissions by certain energy producers and refiners.

The ultimate effect of international agreements; national, regional, and state legislation and regulation; and government and private actions related to GHG emissions and climate change on the company’s financial performance, and the timing of these effects, will depend on a number of factors. Such factors include, among others, the sectors covered, the GHG emissions reductions required, the use of standardized carbon accounting, the extent to which Chevron would be able to receive, generate, purchase, or retire credits, the price and availability of credits and the extent to which the company is able to recover, or continue to recover, the costs incurred through the pricing of the company’s products in the competitive marketplace. Further, the ultimate impact of GHG emissions and climate change-related agreements, legislation, regulation, and government actions on the company’s financial performance is highly uncertain because the company is unable to predict with certainty, for a multitude of individual jurisdictions, the outcome of political decision-making processes and

Table of Contents

legal challenges, including the actual laws and regulations enacted, the variables and trade-offs that inevitably occur in connection with such processes, and market conditions, including the responses of consumers to such changes.

Attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impacts our company Attention to ESG matters, including those related to climate change and sustainability, evolving societal, investor and governmental pressure on companies to address ESG matters, and potential customer and consumer use of substitutes to Chevron’s products have resulted and may continue to result in changes to the portfolio and company activities, increased costs, reduced demand for our products, reduced profits, increased investigations and litigation or threats thereof, negative impacts on our stock price and access to capital markets, impaired participation in public discourse and debate by the company relating to mandatory and voluntary standards and regulations, and damage to our reputation. For example, trends in attention to ESG matters, including climate change, have resulted and may result in the future in shifting demand for our hydrocarbon products, additional litigation and governmental investigations, and/or threats thereof, against the company. For instance, we have received investigative requests and demands from the U.S. Congress for information relating to climate change, methane leak detection and repair, and other topics, and further requests and/or demands are possible. At this time, Chevron cannot predict the ultimate impact any Congressional or other investigations may have on the company. Information related to climate-change related litigation matters is included in Note 16 Litigation under the heading “Climate Change.”

Some stakeholders, including but not limited to sovereign wealth, pension, and endowment funds, have been divesting and promoting divestment of, or screening out, fossil fuel equities and urging lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Further, voluntary carbon-related and target-setting frameworks have been developed that may limit the ability of certain sectors, including the oil and gas sector, from accessing capital, and may result in exclusion of the company’s equity or debt from being included as an investment option in portfolios. In addition, some stakeholders, including some of our investors, have divergent and evolving views on our ESG-related strategies and priorities, vis-à-vis our lines of business, calling for focus on increased production of oil and gas products rather than lower carbon business lines and climate-related targets. These circumstances, among others, may result in pressure from activists on production; unfavorable reputational impacts, including inaccurate perceptions or a misrepresentation of our actual ESG policies, practices and performance; diversion of management’s attention and resources; and proxy fights, among other material adverse impacts on our businesses.

In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters, including climate change and climate-related risks (including entities commonly referred to as “raters and rankers”). Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings and investment community divestment initiatives, among other actions, may lead to negative investor sentiment toward Chevron and to the diversion of investment to other industries, which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and costs of capital. Additionally, evolving expectations on various ESG matters, including human rights, biodiversity, waste and water, have increased, and may continue to increase costs, require changes in how we operate and lead to negative stakeholder sentiment.

Our ambitions and disclosures related to ESG matters subject us to numerous risks that may negatively impact our reputation and stock price or result in other material adverse impacts to the company Chevron has set a number of lower carbon-related ambitions, which may include aspirations, targets, guidance, objectives, metrics, and/or goals. Chevron regularly evaluates its ambitions. The company has changed and/or eliminated some of these aspirations, targets, and other ambitions and may continue to do so in the future for various reasons, including market conditions; its strategy or portfolio; and financial, operational, policy, reputational, legal and other factors.

Our ability to achieve any ambition, including those related to GHG emissions or climate-related initiatives, such as those outlined in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on pages 36 through 37, as well as efforts concerning new businesses, is subject to numerous risks and contingencies, many of which are outside of Chevron’s control and persist. Examples of such risks and contingencies include: (1) sufficient and substantial advances in technology, including progress of commercially viable technologies and low- or non-carbon-based energy sources; (2) laws, governmental regulation, policies, and other enabling actions, including those regarding subsidies, tax and other incentives as well as the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities; (3) successful generation, acquisition, retirement and accounting of cost-effective, verifiable carbon offsets from nature-based solutions or carbon capture and storage; (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability-related standards; (5) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures; (6) evolving standards for tracking and reporting on

Table of Contents

emissions and emission reductions and removals; (7) customers’ and consumers’ preferences and use of the company’s products or substitute products; and (8) actions taken by the company’s competitors.

The standards and regulations for tracking, reporting, disclosing, marketing and advertising related to ESG matters are relatively new, have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Further, our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various voluntary reporting standards may change from time to time. Either of these circumstances may result in a lack of comparative data from period to period.

Our existing processes and controls may not align with evolving voluntary and mandatory standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting ESG metrics. Our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others, and such standards may change over time, including through non-public processes, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. In addition, Chevron participates, along with other companies, institutes, universities, trade associations and other organizations, in various initiatives, campaigns, and other projects that express various ambitions, aspirations and goals related to climate change, emissions and energy transition. Chevron’s individual ambitions, future performance or policies may differ from the ambitions of such organizations or the individual ambitions of other participants in these various initiatives, campaigns, and other projects, and Chevron may unilaterally change its individual ambitions. Achievement of or efforts to achieve ambitions such as the foregoing and future internal climate-related initiatives has, and may continue to, increase costs, and, in addition, may require purchase of carbon credits, or limit or impact the company’s business plans, operations and financial results, potentially resulting in reduction to the economic end-of-life of certain assets, impairing the associated net book value, among other material adverse impacts. Our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill such ambitions within the timelines we announce, or at all, or to satisfy various reporting standards and regulations could have a negative impact on the company’s reputation, investor sentiment, ratings outcomes for evaluating the company’s approach to ESG matters, stock price, and cost of capital and expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation, among other material adverse impacts.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements and financial or operational performance in any given period In preparing the company’s periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including its financial statements, Chevron’s management is required under applicable rules and regulations to make estimates and assumptions as of a specified date. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and experience as of that date and are subject to substantial risk and uncertainty. Materially different results may occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by management include impairments to property, plant and equipment and investments in affiliates; estimates of crude oil and natural gas recoverable reserves; accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation reserves; estimates for decommissioning obligations, including for previously divested assets; and measurement of benefit obligations for pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Changes in estimates or assumptions or the information underlying the assumptions, such as changes in the company’s business plans, general market conditions, the pace of energy transition, or changes in the company’s outlook on commodity prices, could affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities or expenses.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Chevron’s business and proprietary information, information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) networks are essential to its success. The company’s cybersecurity program is designed to protect its information assets and operations from external and internal cyber threats by identifying and appropriately managing and mitigating risks while ensuring business resiliency. This program is integrated within the company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, which is the company’s systematic approach to identifying, managing and assessing major risks and safeguards, including cybersecurity risks. Chevron uses a risk-based information security process aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework to identify, prioritize and mitigate cyber risks.

The company’s worldwide team of cybersecurity professionals undertakes a range of preemptive activities to protect its people, assets and reputation globally. The company also leverages internal and external resources to monitor cybersecurity threats to its systems and networks and to understand the broader threat environment. The company seeks to remove exploitable weaknesses in its systems or devices before they become a threat. Chevron security experts use automated

Table of Contents

threat intelligence feeds to increase vulnerability awareness, taking action to mitigate the highest risks. The company’s cybersecurity guardrails, which are high-level design requirements expected to be built into any new digital solutions being deployed, are also updated on an ongoing basis to align with changes in industry standards and the evolving threat environment.

Chevron’s cyber risk management process includes testing and risk assessments of technologies, third-party suppliers, and its IT and OT networks. These assessments ensure that our focus is on the highest priorities to maintain the security of our company’s assets. To further protect the company’s systems and data, Chevron’s cybersecurity organization has threat intelligence capabilities to monitor security breaches impacting third-party suppliers. As third-party risks increase, the company’s approach to third-party supplier risk management and qualification continues to evolve, including the ongoing expansion of its current supplier risk management program beyond IT vendors to other high-risk, third-party vendors.

Chevron’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) oversees Chevron’s broader IT program, which includes the company’s cybersecurity program and its ability to remediate and recover from a cybersecurity incident to minimize business and operational impacts. Chevron’s CIO joined Chevron in 2024, bringing more than 20 years of experience leading global innovation initiatives in digital, data, full supply chains, vehicle commerce, energy, and IT operations for technology and automotive companies. Chevron’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) reports to the CIO and leads a global cybersecurity team. Chevron’s CISO has 20 years of cybersecurity experience and is responsible for providing a single and consolidated view of the company’s enterprise cybersecurity risk. Before joining Chevron, he held senior leadership roles, including that of CISO, at other multinational, publicly traded companies.

Chevron operates four Cyber Intelligence Centers around the world, some co-located with critical assets, with cyber professionals who monitor and respond to cyber threats 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to limit the scope and impact of cyber incidents in its networks. The cybersecurity organization provides the IT leadership, which includes Chevron’s CIO, with regular cybersecurity operations reports detailing prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation efforts associated with cyber incidents, both on Chevron’s networks and third-party supplier networks. The leadership of the cybersecurity organization has authority to mobilize a cross-functional cyber incident response team, including outside cybersecurity experts, to drive mitigation and remediation actions. Status updates on incidents are provided to senior management and to the Board, as appropriate.

The company’s dedicated cyber risk organization meets regularly with business units to raise cyber risk awareness and keep diverse cybersecurity skill sets connected across the enterprise. Chevron has invested in broad cybersecurity awareness and required training to educate those with access to Chevron’s networks on company policy and best practices. The company conducts regular phishing tests to train and assess its workforce’s ability to identify malicious emails.

Chevron’s Corporate Audit Department has a dedicated team responsible for IT and information security (including cybersecurity) audits. Chevron also leverages external resources to reinforce its cybersecurity capabilities. On a regular basis, external consultants provide a maturity assessment of the company’s cybersecurity program.

The company’s approach to managing risks, including cybersecurity risks, is embedded within the enterprise Operational Excellence (OE) Management System (OEMS). The OEMS provides a systematic process that enables the company to manage risk and implement safeguards and foster a culture of learning across different focus areas for Chevron’s business, including cybersecurity. The company’s Business Continuity Planning OE Process, a component of the OEMS, is designed to prepare Chevron to continue operations during an unplanned event or disruption, which aligns with its OE objective to prevent high-consequence security and cybersecurity incidents. Chevron works to identify critical business processes and dependent IT applications and document the processes for continuing operations without IT systems. Cross-functional teams also conduct regular multidisciplinary exercises to test and improve response plans.

The Board provides oversight of Chevron’s cybersecurity program, receives reports from management on cybersecurity risks in connection with Chevron’s operations and projects, and also reviews cybersecurity risks as part of the company’s broader annual ERM process. In support of the Board’s oversight of the company’s policies and processes with respect to risk management and the company’s major financial risk exposures, including cybersecurity, the Audit Committee meets with Chevron’s CISO and CIO at least twice a year to review cybersecurity risks and implications, including the results of independent third-party assessments. The CISO and CIO present cybersecurity matters to the Board of Directors at least annually. The CISO and CIO also provide new Board members with a cybersecurity briefing as part of the onboarding process.

To date, the company has not experienced a cybersecurity threat or incident that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition;

Table of Contents

however, the company has experienced and will continue to experience cyber incidents of varying degrees. Despite the cybersecurity measures that the company is taking to mitigate such risks, there can be no guarantee that such measures will be sufficient to protect the company’s systems, information, intellectual property and other assets from significant harm and that future cybersecurity incidents will not have a material adverse effect on the company or its results of operations or financial condition or cause reputational or other harm to the company. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors on pages 21 through 24 for further discussion of cyberattacks and the associated risks to Chevron’s business.

Business Environment and Outlook

Chevron Corporation is a global energy company with direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates that conduct substantial business activities in the following countries: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Guyana, Israel, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States and Venezuela.

The company’s objective is to safely deliver higher returns, lower carbon and superior shareholder value in any business environment. Earnings of the company depend mostly on the profitability of its upstream business segment. The most significant factor affecting the results of operations for the upstream segment is the price of crude oil, which is determined in global markets outside of the company’s control. In the company’s downstream business, crude oil is the largest cost component of refined products. Periods of sustained lower commodity prices could result in the impairment or write-off of specific assets in future periods and cause the company to adjust operating expenses, including employee reductions, and capital expenditures, along with other measures intended to improve financial performance.

Some governments, companies, communities and other stakeholders are supporting efforts to address climate change. International initiatives and national, regional and state legislation and regulations that aim to directly or indirectly reduce GHG emissions are in various stages of design, adoption and implementation. Some of these policies and programs include renewable and low carbon fuel standards; programs that price GHG emissions; performance standards; and measures that provide various incentives for lower carbon activities, including carbon capture and storage and the production of hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel. Requirements for these and other similar policies and programs are complex, ever changing, program specific and encompass: (1) the blending of renewable fuels into transportation fuels; (2) the purchasing, selling, utilizing and retiring of allowances and carbon credits; and (3) other emissions reduction measures including efficiency improvements and capturing GHG emissions. These compliance policies and programs have had and may continue to have negative impacts on the company now and in the future including, but not limited to, the displacement of hydrocarbon and other products and/or the impairment of assets. These policies have the potential to enable opportunities for Chevron in its oil and gas and lower carbon business lines. Although we expect the company’s costs to comply with these policies and

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

programs to continue to increase, these costs currently do not have a material impact on the company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Significant uncertainty remains as to the pace and extent to which a lower carbon future progresses, which is dependent, in part, on substantial advancements and changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. The level of expenditure required to comply with new or potential climate change-related laws and regulations and the amount of additional investments needed in new or existing technology or facilities, such as carbon capture and storage, is difficult to predict with certainty and is expected to vary depending on the actual laws and regulations enacted, available technology options, customer and consumer preferences, the company’s activities and market conditions. Although the future is uncertain, many published outlooks conclude that fossil fuels will remain a significant part of an energy system that increasingly incorporates lower carbon sources of supply for many years to come.

Chevron supports a global approach to governments addressing climate change and continues to take actions to help lower the carbon intensity of its operations while continuing to meet the demand for energy. Chevron believes that broad, market-based mechanisms are the most efficient approach to addressing GHG emission reductions. Chevron integrates climate change-related issues and the regulatory and other responses to these issues into its strategy and planning, capital investment reviews and risk management tools and processes, where it believes they are applicable. They are also factored into the company’s long-range supply, demand and energy price forecasts. These forecasts reflect estimates of long-range effects from climate change-related policy actions, such as electric vehicle and renewable fuel penetration, energy efficiency standards and demand response to oil and natural gas prices.

The company will continue to develop oil and gas resources to meet customers’ and consumers’ demand for energy. At the same time, Chevron believes that the future of energy is lower carbon. The company will continue to maintain flexibility in its portfolio to be responsive to changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. Chevron aims to grow its oil and gas business, lower the carbon intensity of operations and grow new energies businesses. To grow new energies businesses, Chevron plans to leverage the company’s capabilities, assets, partnerships and customer relationships. The company’s oil and gas business may increase or decrease depending upon market, economic, legislative and regulatory forces, among other factors.

In 2021, Chevron announced aspirations and targets that align with its strategy. Chevron uses emissions intensity targets, which enable the company to assess, quantify and transparently communicate its own carbon performance in a standardized way. Chevron regularly evaluates its aspirations, targets and goals. The company has changed and/or eliminated some of these aspirations, targets and goals and may continue to do so in the future for various reasons, including market conditions; its strategy or portfolio; and financial, operational, policy, reputational, legal and other factors. For its aspiration to achieve net zero for upstream production Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions on an equity basis by 2050, many of the necessary advancements in technology, policy and collective action have not occurred. As a result, Chevron is not on track to achieve the aspiration by 2050. While Chevron continues to have the aspiration, it will no longer use 2050 as a timeline.

The company’s ability to achieve any aspiration, target or goal is subject to numerous risks and contingencies, many of which are outside of Chevron’s control and persist. Examples of such risks and contingencies include: (1) sufficient and substantial advances in technology, including progress of commercially viable technologies and low- or non-carbon-based energy sources; (2) laws, governmental regulation, policies, and other enabling actions, including those regarding subsidies, tax and other incentives as well as the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities; (3) successful generation, acquisition, retirement and accounting of cost-effective, verifiable carbon offsets from nature-based solutions or carbon capture and storage; (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability-related standards; (5) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures; (6) evolving standards for tracking and reporting on emissions and emission reductions and removals; (7) customers’ and consumers’ preferences and use of the company’s products or substitute products; and (8) actions taken by the company’s competitors. Please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, on pages 25 through 27 for further discussion of GHG regulation and climate change and the associated risks to Chevron’s business, including the risks impacting Chevron’s strategy, aspirations, targets and disclosures related to environmental, social, and governance matters.

2028 Upstream Production GHG Intensity Targets These metrics include Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions associated with imported electricity and steam) and are net of emissions from exported electricity and steam. The 2028 GHG emissions intensity targets on an equity ownership basis include:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

•Oil production GHG intensity of 24 kilograms (kg) carbon dioxide equivalent per barrel of oil-equivalent (CO2e/boe),

•Gas production GHG intensity of 24 kg CO2e/boe,

•Methane intensity of 2 kg CO2e/boe, and

•Flaring GHG intensity of 3 kg CO2e/boe.

The company also targets zero routine flaring by 2030 as outlined in the World Bank’s “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” initiative.

2028 Portfolio Carbon Intensity Target The company also introduced a portfolio carbon intensity (PCI) metric, which is a measure of the carbon intensity across the full value chain of Chevron’s entire business. This metric encompasses the company’s upstream and downstream business and includes Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from imported electricity and steam), and certain Scope 3 (primarily emissions from use of sold products) emissions. The company’s PCI target is 71 grams (g) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per megajoule (MJ) by 2028.

Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the company can change substantially during periods of significant earnings volatility. This is due to the mix effects that are impacted by both the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they arise in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions. As a result, a decline or increase in the effective income tax rate in one period may not be indicative of expected results in future periods. Additional information related to the company’s effective income tax rate is included in Note 17 Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Supply Chain and Inflation Impacts The company is actively managing its contracting, procurement and supply chain activities to effectively manage costs and facilitate supply chain resiliency and continuity in support of the company’s operational goals. Third party costs for capital and operating expenses can be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control including, but not limited to: severe weather or civil unrest, delays in construction, global and local supply chain distribution issues, inflation, tariffs or other taxes imposed on goods or services, and market-based prices charged by the industry’s material and service providers. Chevron utilizes contracts with various pricing mechanisms, which may result in a lag before the company’s costs reflect changes in market trends.

Trends in the costs of goods and services vary by spend category. Chevron has applied inflation mitigation strategies to temper cost increases, including fixed price and index-based contracts. Lead times for key capital equipment remain long due to strong demand levels. Chevron has addressed equipment cost increases and long lead times by partnering with suppliers on demand planning, volume commitments, standardization, and scope optimization. The offshore market remains competitive for vessels and subsea equipment. In the United States, cost pressures for onshore drilling and completion equipment continue to ease.

In 2025, the U.S. announced the imposition of various changing tariffs on imports from our trade partners. The tariff impact in 2025 was less than one percent of the company’s third party spend and was not material to the company’s financial results. In first quarter 2026, the company continued to work with partners across its supply chain to identify alternative sourcing options and mitigate the impact of the tariffs. Although the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some global tariffs in February 2026, there remains significant uncertainty as to the duration and magnitude of any future tariffs that may be imposed as permitted under U.S. laws and, accordingly, as to the resultant impacts these tariffs could have on the company and its suppliers and the company’s future results of operations.

Acquisition and Disposition of Assets The company continually evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not expected to provide sufficient long-term value and to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help augment the company’s financial performance and value growth. The company was targeting $10-15 billion of asset sales over the five-year period ending in 2028. From 2024 through January 2026, the company has generated approximately $9 billion of asset sales proceeds. Looking ahead, the company expects $1-2 billion in annual asset sale proceeds through 2030. Asset dispositions and restructurings may result in significant gains or losses in future periods.

In addition, some assets are divested along with their related liabilities, such as decommissioning obligations. In certain instances, such transferred obligations have returned and may continue to return to the company and result in losses that could be significant. For example, in fourth quarter 2023, the company recognized charges for decommissioning obligations from certain previously divested assets in the Gulf of America. In 2025, the company spent $297 million related to these obligations and anticipates spending an additional $200-300 million annually through 2033. To the extent the current owners of the company’s previously divested assets default on their decommissioning obligations, regulators

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

may require that Chevron assume such obligations. The company could have additional significant obligations revert, primarily in the United States. The company is not currently aware of any such obligations that are reasonably possible to be material. Refer to Note 24. Other Contingencies and Commitments for additional information.

In July 2025, the company completed its acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess). Refer to Note 29. Acquisition of Hess Corporation for additional information.

Other Impacts The company closely monitors developments in the financial and credit markets, the level of worldwide economic activity, and the implications for the company of movements in prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Management takes these developments into account in the conduct of daily operations and for business planning.

The company has announced plans to achieve $3-4 billion in structural cost reductions by the end of 2026. These cost savings will largely come from optimizing the portfolio, leveraging technology to enhance productivity, and changing how and where work is performed, including expanded use of global capability centers. In 2025, the company delivered $1.5 billion in structural cost savings, with $2 billion achieved in the annual run rate.

Comments related to earnings trends for the company’s major business areas are as follows:

Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely aligned with industry prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. These prices are subject to external factors over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry production and inventory levels, technology advancements, production quotas or other actions imposed by OPEC+ countries, actions of regulators, weather-related damage and disruptions, competing fuel prices, natural and human causes beyond the company’s control, and regional supply interruptions or fears thereof that may be caused by military conflicts, civil unrest or political uncertainty. Any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company closely monitors developments in the countries in which it operates and holds investments and seeks to manage risks in operating its facilities and businesses.

The longer-term trend in earnings for the upstream segment is also a function of other factors, including the company’s ability to efficiently find, acquire and produce crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, changes in fiscal terms of contracts, the pace of energy transition, and changes in tax, environmental and other applicable laws and regulations.

Chevron has interests in Venezuelan assets operated by independent affiliates. Chevron has been conducting limited activities in Venezuela consistent with authorizations issued by the United States government. The financial results for Chevron’s business in Venezuela have been recorded as non-equity investments since 2020, where income is only recognized when cash is received, and production and reserves are not included in the company’s results. Following the issuance of a general license and other authorizations, crude oil liftings in Venezuela restarted in 2023. Chevron maintained its presence in Venezuela consistent with the U.S. government sanctions policy, and pursuant to this policy, continued delivering limited crude oil to the U.S. from these affiliates through January 2026. Based on recently revised authorizations that align with current U.S. sanctions policy for Venezuela, Chevron will continue delivery of crude oil produced from its Venezuelan assets to the U.S. and to the international market. Current geopolitical developments relating to Venezuela could have an impact on the company’s operations in Venezuela and, as a result, impact the company’s future results of operations.

Chevron maintains an equity interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) which provides a primary export route for Tengiz field production in Kazakhstan. An adverse event or incident affecting CPC operations, which CPC has experienced from time to time, such as recent drone attacks, could have a negative impact on the Tengiz field and the company’s future results of operations and financial position. The financial impacts of such risks remain uncertain.

Governments (including Russia) have imposed and may impose additional sanctions and other trade laws, restrictions and regulations that could lead to disruption in our ability to produce, transport and/or export crude in the region around Russia.

Chevron holds a 39.7 percent interest in the Leviathan field and a 25 percent interest in the Tamar field in Israel. The conflict between Israel and various regional adversaries has not significantly impacted the company’s operations, with the company continuing to maintain safe and reliable operations while meeting its contractual commitments. The company continues to monitor the potential for further conflict in the region, and any future impacts on the company’s results of operations and financial condition remain uncertain.

Commodity Prices The following chart shows the trend in benchmark prices for Brent crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas. The Brent price averaged $69 per barrel for the full-year 2025, compared

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

to $81 in 2024. As of mid-February 2026, the Brent price was $70 per barrel. The WTI price averaged $65 per barrel for the full-year 2025, compared to $76 in 2024. As of mid-February 2026, the WTI price was $63 per barrel. The majority of the company’s equity crude production is priced based on the Brent benchmark. Crude prices were lower in 2025 driven by supply growth in non-OPEC countries and slowing demand despite impacts from geopolitical conflicts and OPEC+ supply decisions.

Sources: Platts (crude) & Energy Intelligence (natural gas)

The U.S. Henry Hub natural gas price averaged $3.53 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) for the full-year 2025, compared to $2.25 in 2024. As of mid-February 2026, the Henry Hub price was $3.43 per MCF. In the U.S., higher Henry Hub prices were driven by higher weather-driven demand in the U.S. and increasing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand.

Outside the United States, prices for natural gas also depend on regional supply and demand, regulatory circumstances and infrastructure conditions in local markets. The company’s long-term contract prices for LNG are typically linked to crude oil prices. Most of the equity LNG offtake from the operated Australian LNG projects is committed under binding long-term contracts, with some sold in the Asian spot LNG market.

See page 46 for the company’s U.S. and international average realizations for each of the past three years.

Production The company’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production in 2025 was 3.7 million barrels per day, 12 percent higher than in 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and growth in TCO, the Permian Basin and the Gulf of America, which were partly offset by the impacts of asset sales. About 21 percent of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in 2025 occurred in OPEC+ member countries of Equatorial Guinea, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

The company estimates its net oil-equivalent production in 2026 to increase 7 to 10 percent over 2025, assuming a Brent crude oil price of $60 per barrel and excluding expected asset sales. This includes a full year contribution from Hess assets. This estimate is subject to many factors and uncertainties, including quotas or other actions that may be imposed by OPEC+; price effects on entitlement volumes; changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on the scope of company operations; delays in construction; reservoir performance; greater-than-expected declines in production from mature fields; start-up or ramp-up of projects; acquisition and divestment of assets; fluctuations in demand for crude oil and natural gas in various markets; weather conditions that may shut in production; civil unrest; changing geopolitics; delays in completion of maintenance turnarounds; storage constraints or economic conditions that could lead to shut-in production; or other disruptions to operations. The outlook for future production levels is also affected by the size and number of economic investment opportunities and the time lag between initial exploration and the beginning of production.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on pages 42 through 43 for additional discussion of the company’s upstream business.

Downstream Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining, manufacturing and marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil, fuel and lubricant additives, petrochemicals and renewable fuels. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regional supply-and-demand balance for refined products and petrochemicals, and by changes in the price of crude oil, other refinery and petrochemical feedstocks, and natural gas. Industry margins can also be influenced by inventory levels, geopolitical events, costs of materials and services, refinery or chemical plant capacity utilization, maintenance programs, and disruptions at refineries or chemical plants resulting from unplanned outages due to severe weather, fires or other operational events.

Other factors affecting profitability for downstream operations include the reliability and efficiency of the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, the effectiveness of its crude oil and product supply functions, and the volatility of tanker-charter rates for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, and changes in tax, environmental, and other applicable laws and regulations.

The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States and Asia Pacific. Chevron operates or has significant ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on page 43 for additional discussion of the company’s downstream operations.

Consolidated Statement of Income

Comparative amounts for certain income statement categories are shown below. A discussion of variances between 2024 and 2023 can be found in the “Consolidated Statement of Income” section on pages 45 and 46 of the company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Sales and other operating revenues $ 184,432 $ 193,414 $ 196,913

Sales and other operating revenues decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower crude oil and refined product prices, partially offset by higher crude oil and refined product sales volumes and higher natural gas prices and volumes.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Income (loss) from equity affiliates $ 3,000 $ 4,596 $ 5,131

Income from equity affiliates decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower upstream-related earnings from Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO) in Kazakhstan as higher liftings from the FGP project were more than offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization and lower realizations, and lower downstream-related earnings from CPChem primarily due to lower chemicals margins. These decreases were partially offset by higher downstream-related earnings from GS Caltex in South Korea. Refer to Note 15 Investments and Advances for a discussion of Chevron’s investments in affiliated companies.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Other income (loss) $ 1,599 $ 4,782 $ (1,095)

Other income decreased in 2025 mainly due to the absence of before tax gains on asset sales in Canada, an unfavorable swing in foreign currency effects, and lower income from Venezuela.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Purchased crude oil and products $ 108,214 $ 119,206 $ 119,196

Purchased crude oil and products decreased in 2025 due to lower crude oil and refined product prices and volumes, partially offset by higher natural gas prices and volumes.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization $ 20,132 $ 17,282 $ 17,326

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased in 2025 primarily due to higher production and higher rates.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Taxes other than on income $ 5,230 $ 4,716 $ 4,220

Taxes other than on income increased in 2025 primarily due to higher excise taxes related to downstream activities.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023

Other components of net periodic benefit costs $ 313 $ 195 $ 212

Other components of net periodic benefit costs increased in 2025 primarily due to higher settlement and curtailment losses, partially offset by higher expected return on plan assets.

Millions of dollars 2025 2024 2023
Income tax expense (benefit) $ 7,258 $ 9,757 $ 8,173

The decrease in income tax expense in 2025 of $2.5 billion was primarily due to the decrease in total income before tax for the company of $7.8 billion, along with the absence of the tax impacts of the asset sales in Canada. The decrease in income before taxes for the company was primarily the result of higher upstream depreciation, depletion and amortization, lower upstream realizations, unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, and higher operating costs, partially offset by higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream margins.

U.S. income before tax decreased from $8.1 billion in 2024 to $6.0 billion in 2025. This $2.1 billion decrease in income was primarily driven by lower upstream realizations, higher upstream depreciation, depletion and amortization and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher upstream sales volumes and higher downstream margins. The decrease of $337 million in U.S. income tax expense between year-over-year periods, from $1.9 billion in 2024 to $1.6 billion in 2025, was primarily driven by the decrease in income before tax, partially offset by current period unfavorable tax items.

International income before tax decreased from $19.5 billion in 2024 to $13.8 billion in 2025. This $5.7 billion decrease in income was primarily driven by higher upstream depreciation, depletion and amortization, lower upstream realizations, unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and the absence of impacts related to the asset sales in Canada, partially offset by higher upstream sales volumes. The decrease of $2.2 billion in international income tax expense between year-over-year periods, from $7.9 billion in 2024 to $5.7 billion in 2025, was primarily driven by the decrease in income before tax, along with the absence of tax impacts of the asset sales in Canada.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash The strength of the company’s balance sheet enables it to fund any timing differences throughout the year between cash inflows and outflows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities Total balances were $6.3 billion and $6.8 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The company holds its cash with a diverse group of major financial institutions and has processes and safeguards in place designed to manage its cash balances and mitigate the risk of loss. Cash provided by operating activities in 2025 was $33.9 billion, compared to $31.5 billion in 2024, primarily as higher cash distributions from TCO and contributions from legacy Hess assets more than offset the impact of lower commodity prices. Between January and March 2025, Chevron purchased 15.38 million shares of Hess common stock in open market transactions for approximately $2.2 billion. Cash provided by operating activities was net of contributions to employee pension plans of approximately $588 million in 2025 and $844 million in 2024. Capital expenditures totaled $17.3 billion in 2025 compared to $16.4 billion in 2024. Proceeds and deposits related to asset sales and return of investments totaled $1.8 billion in 2025 compared to $7.7 billion in 2024. Net repayment (borrowing) of loans by equity affiliates included an inflow of $778 million in 2025 mainly due to a loan repayment from TCO, compared with an outflow of $233 million in the year ago period.

Restricted cash of $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was held in cash and short-term marketable securities and recorded as “Deferred charges and other assets” and “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These amounts are generally associated with upstream decommissioning activities and tax payments. The decrease of restricted cash in 2025 is mainly due to the release of funds for tax-deferred exchanges.

Dividends Dividends paid to common stockholders were $12.8 billion in 2025 and $11.8 billion in 2024.

Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities Total debt, including finance lease liabilities, was $40.8 billion at December 31, 2025, up from $24.5 billion at year-end 2024. In 2025, the company issued $11.2 billion of public bonds, retired $4.0 billion of public bonds at maturity and reduced commercial paper balances. In third quarter 2025, the company also assumed $10.0 billion of debt and finance lease liabilities as part of the acquisition of Hess, including approximately $3.7 billion related to Hess Midstream Operations LP that is non-recourse to Chevron Corporation.

The company’s total debt due within one year, consisting primarily of the current portion of long-term debt and redeemable long-term obligations, totaled $10.9 billion at December 31, 2025, compared with $12.7 billion at year-end 2024. Of these amounts, $9.9 billion and $8.25 billion were reclassified to long-term debt at the end of 2025 and 2024, respectively, since settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to continue refinancing them.

The company has access to a commercial paper program as a financing source for working capital or other short-term needs. The company had $4.6 billion of commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2025, compared with $5.4 billion at December 31, 2024.

The company has an automatic shelf registration statement that expires in November 2027 for an unspecified amount of nonconvertible debt securities issued by Chevron Corporation or Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA).

The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate the company’s debt, and the company’s cost of borrowing can increase or decrease depending on these debt ratings. The company has outstanding public bonds issued by Chevron Corporation, CUSA, Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble), Texaco Capital Inc., and Hess Corporation. The securities that are the obligation of, or guaranteed by, Chevron Corporation carry an AA- rating by Standard and Poor’s Corporation and an Aa2 rating by Moody’s Investors Service. The company’s U.S. commercial paper is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s. All of these ratings denote high-quality, investment-grade securities.

The company’s future debt level is dependent primarily on results of operations, cash that may be generated from asset dispositions, the capital program, acquisitions, investments, lending commitments to affiliates and cash returned to shareholders. Based on its high-quality debt ratings, the company believes that it has substantial borrowing capacity to meet unanticipated cash requirements. During extended periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas and narrow margins for refined products and commodity chemicals, the company has the ability to modify its capital spending plans and discontinue or curtail the stock repurchase program. This provides the flexibility to continue paying the common stock dividend and remain committed to retaining the company’s high-quality debt ratings.

Committed Credit Facilities Information related to committed credit facilities is included in Note 19 Short-Term Debt.

Summarized Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries CUSA issued bonds that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Chevron Corporation (together, the “Obligor Group”). The tables below contain summary financial information for Chevron Corporation, as Guarantor, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries, and CUSA, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries. The summary financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis, and transactions between the combined entities have been eliminated. Financial information for non-guarantor entities has been excluded.

Common Stock Repurchase Program On January 25, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the company’s shares of common stock in an aggregate amount of $75 billion (the “2023 Program”). The 2023 Program took effect on April 1, 2023, and does not have a fixed expiration date. During 2025, the company purchased a total of 79.9 million shares for $12.1 billion and paid an additional $146 million in excise taxes related to 2024 buybacks. As of December 31, 2025, the company had purchased a total of 250.8 million shares for $38.5 billion excluding excise taxes, resulting in $36.5 billion remaining under the 2023 Program. Chevron expects share repurchases in the first quarter of 2026 to be between $2.5-$3.0 billion.

Repurchases of shares of the company’s common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, by block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the company. The timing of the repurchases and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the company’s shares, general market and economic conditions, and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures (Capex) primarily includes additions to fixed asset or investment accounts for the company’s consolidated subsidiaries and is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Capex by business segment for 2025, 2024, and 2023 is as follows:

Capex for 2025 was $17.3 billion, 5 percent higher than 2024 as spend on legacy Hess assets post-acquisition and increased investments in U.S. data center power solutions more than offset lower spend in the downstream segment.

The company estimates that 2026 organic capex will range from $18 to $19 billion. Upstream Capex is projected at $17 billion, including nearly $6 billion for U.S. shale and tight assets in the Permian, DJ and Bakken basins, and about $7 billion for global offshore developments, primarily supporting growth in Guyana, Eastern Mediterranean and Gulf of America. Downstream Capex is expected to be around $1 billion, with nearly three-fourths allocated to the U.S. operations. About $1 billion of total Capex, which is included within upstream and downstream budgets, is dedicated to lowering the carbon intensity of our operations and growing new energies businesses. Corporate and other Capex is projected to be about $0.6 billion.

Affiliate Capital Expenditures Equity affiliate capital expenditures (Affiliate Capex) primarily includes additions to fixed asset and investment accounts in the equity affiliate companies’ financial statements and does not require cash outlays by the company.

Affiliate Capex by business segment for 2025, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Affiliate Capex for 2025 was $1.8 billion, 27 percent lower than 2024 mainly due to lower spend at TCO’s Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) and Future Growth Project (FGP).

Affiliate Capex is expected to range between $1.3 to $1.7 billion in 2026. Nearly half of this amount is allocated to CPChem’s two major integrated polymer projects, while TCO’s budget accounts for roughly one-fourth.

The company monitors market conditions and can adjust future capital outlays should conditions change.

Noncontrolling Interests The company had noncontrolling interests of $5.7 billion at December 31, 2025, including non-controlling interest in Hess Midstream LP (HESM), and $839 million at December 31, 2024. Distributions to noncontrolling interests net of contributions totaled $323 million and $195 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Financial Ratios and Metrics

The following represent several metrics the company believes are useful measures to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time:

Current Ratio Current assets divided by current liabilities, which indicates the company’s ability to repay its short-term liabilities with short-term assets. The current ratio in all periods is adversely affected by the fact that Chevron’s inventories are valued on a last-in, first-out basis. At year-end 2025, the book value of inventory was lower than replacement costs, based on average acquisition costs during the year, by approximately $4.8 billion.

Financial and Derivative Instrument Market Risk

The market risk associated with the company’s portfolio of financial and derivative instruments is discussed below. The estimates of financial exposure to market risk do not represent the company’s projection of future market changes. The actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including those set forth under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Derivative Commodity Instruments Chevron is exposed to market risks related to the price volatility of crude oil, refined products, NGLs, natural gas, LNG and refinery feedstocks. The company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage these exposures on a portion of its activity, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions for the purchase, sale and storage of crude oil, refined products, NGLs, natural gas, LNG and feedstock for company refineries. The company also uses derivative commodity instruments for limited trading purposes. The results of these activities were not material to the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in 2025.

The company’s market exposure positions are monitored on a daily basis by an internal Risk Control group in accordance with the company’s risk management policies. The company’s risk management practices and its compliance with policies are reviewed by the Audit Committee of the company’s Board of Directors.

Derivatives beyond those designated as normal purchase and normal sale contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. Fair values are derived principally from published market quotes and other independent third-party quotes. The change in fair value of Chevron’s derivative commodity instruments in 2025 was not material to the company’s results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

The company uses the Monte Carlo simulation method as its Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to estimate the maximum potential loss in fair value, at the 95 percent confidence level with a one-day holding period, from the effect of adverse changes in market conditions on derivative commodity instruments held or issued. Based on these inputs, the VaR for the company’s primary risk exposures in the area of derivative commodity instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material to the company’s cash flows or results of operations.

Foreign Currency The company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to manage some of its foreign currency exposures. These exposures include revenue and anticipated purchase transactions, including foreign currency capital expenditures and lease commitments. The foreign currency derivative contracts, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. There were no open foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2025.

Interest Rates The company may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Interest rate swaps, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. At year-end 2025, the company had no interest rate swaps.

Transactions With Related Parties

Chevron enters into a number of business arrangements with related parties, principally its equity affiliates. These arrangements include long-term supply or offtake agreements and long-term purchase agreements. Refer to “Other Information” in Note 15 Investments and Advances for further discussion. Management believes these agreements have been negotiated on terms consistent with those that would have been negotiated with an unrelated party.

The company records asset retirement obligations when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the liability can be reasonably estimated. These asset retirement obligations include costs related to environmental issues. The liability balance of approximately $15.0 billion for asset retirement obligations at year-end 2025 is related primarily to upstream properties.

For the company’s other ongoing operating assets, such as refineries and chemicals facilities, no provisions are made for exit or cleanup costs that may be required when such assets reach the end of their useful lives unless a decision to sell or otherwise decommission the facility has been made, as the indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.

The company records decommissioning obligations for previously divested assets when it is probable that the decommissioning obligations would revert to the Company and costs can be reasonably estimated. At the end of 2025, the liability balance was $2.2 billion. Refer to Note 24 Other Contingencies and Commitments for additional discussion of decommissioning obligations for previously divested assets.

Refer to the discussion below for additional information on environmental matters and their impact on Chevron, and on the company’s 2025 environmental expenditures. Refer to Note 24 Other Contingencies and Commitments for additional discussion of environmental remediation provisions.

Environmental Matters

The company is subject to various international and U.S. federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and market-based programs. These laws, regulations and programs continue to evolve and are expected to increase in both number and complexity over time and govern not only the manner in which the company conducts its operations, but also the products it sells. Consideration of environmental issues and the responses to those issues through international agreements and national, regional or state legislation or regulations are integrated into the company’s strategy and planning, capital investment reviews and risk management tools and processes, where applicable. They are also factored into the company’s long-range supply, demand and energy price forecasts. These forecasts reflect long-range effects from electric vehicle and renewable fuel penetration, energy efficiency standards, climate-related policy actions, and demand response to oil and natural gas prices. In addition, legislation and regulations intended to address hydraulic fracturing also continue to evolve in many jurisdictions where we operate. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of some of the inherent risks of increasingly restrictive environmental and other regulation that could materially impact the company’s results of operations or financial condition. Refer to Business Environment and Outlook on pages 35 through 37 for a discussion of legislative and regulatory efforts to address climate change.

Most of the costs of complying with existing laws and regulations pertaining to company operations and products are embedded in the normal costs of doing business. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of additional investments in new or existing technology or facilities or the amounts of increased operating costs to be incurred in the future to prevent, control, reduce or eliminate releases of hazardous materials or other pollutants into the environment; remediate and restore areas damaged by prior releases of hazardous materials; or comply with new environmental laws or regulations. Although these costs may be significant to the results of operations in any single period, the company does not presently expect them to have a material adverse effect on the company’s liquidity or financial position.

Accidental leaks and spills requiring cleanup may occur in the ordinary course of business. The company may incur expenses for corrective actions at various owned and previously owned facilities and at third-party-owned waste disposal sites used by the company. An obligation may arise when operations are closed or sold or at non-Chevron sites where company products have been handled or disposed of. Most of the expenditures to fulfill these obligations relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable at the time but now require investigative or remedial work or both to meet current standards.

Using definitions and guidelines established by the American Petroleum Institute, Chevron estimated its worldwide environmental spending in 2025 at approximately $2.8 billion for its consolidated companies. Included in these expenditures were approximately $0.8 billion of environmental capital expenditures and $2.0 billion of costs associated with the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of hazardous substances and pollutants from operating, closed or divested sites, and the decommissioning and restoration of sites.

For 2026, total worldwide environmental capital expenditures are estimated at $0.7 billion. These capital costs are in addition to the ongoing costs of complying with environmental regulations and the costs to remediate previously contaminated sites.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Management makes many estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) that may have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and on the comparability of such information over different reporting periods. Such estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are based on management’s experience and other information available prior to

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

the issuance of the financial statements. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

The discussion in this section of “critical” accounting estimates and assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines of the SEC, wherein:

1.the nature of the estimates and assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters, or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

2.the impact of the estimates and assumptions on the company’s financial condition or operating performance is material.

The development and selection of accounting estimates and assumptions, including those deemed “critical,” and the associated disclosures in this discussion have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The areas of accounting and the associated “critical” estimates and assumptions made by the company are as follows:

Oil and Gas Reserves Crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves are estimates of future production that impact certain asset and expense accounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Proved reserves include both developed and undeveloped volumes. Proved developed reserves represent volumes expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are volumes expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled proved acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Variables impacting Chevron’s estimated volumes of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves include field performance, available technology, commodity prices, and development, production and carbon costs.

The estimates of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves are important to the timing of expense recognition for costs incurred and to the valuation of certain oil and gas producing assets. Impacts of oil and gas reserves on Chevron’s Consolidated Financial Statements, using the successful efforts method of accounting, include the following:

1.Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A) - Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production (UOP) basis using proved developed reserves. Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized on a UOP basis using total proved reserves. During 2025, Chevron’s UOP DD&A for oil and gas properties was $16.2 billion, and proved developed reserves at the beginning of 2025 were 6 billion barrels for consolidated companies. If the estimates of proved reserves used in the UOP calculations for consolidated operations had been lower by five percent across all oil and gas properties, UOP DD&A in 2025 would have increased by approximately $900 million.

2.Impairment - Oil and gas reserves are used in assessing oil and gas producing properties for impairment. A significant reduction in the estimated reserves of a property would trigger an impairment review. Proved reserves (and, in some cases, a portion of unproved resources) are used to estimate future production volumes in the cash flow model. For a further discussion of estimates and assumptions used in impairment assessments, see Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates below.

Refer to Table V, “Proved Reserve Quantity Information,” for the changes in proved reserve estimates for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and to Table VII, “Changes in the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows From Proved Reserves” for estimates of proved reserve values for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

This Oil and Gas Reserves commentary should be read in conjunction with the Properties, Plant and Equipment section of Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which includes a description of the “successful efforts” method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates The company assesses its properties, plant and equipment (PP&E) for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters, such as future commodity prices, operating expenses, carbon costs, production profiles, the pace of the energy transition, and the outlook for global or regional market supply-and-demand conditions for crude oil, NGLs, natural gas,

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

commodity chemicals and refined products. However, the impairment reviews and calculations are based on assumptions that are generally consistent with the company’s business plans and long-term investment decisions. Refer also to the discussion of impairments of properties, plant and equipment in Note 18 Properties, Plant and Equipment and to the section on Properties, Plant and Equipment in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The company performs impairment assessments when triggering events arise to determine whether any write-down in the carrying value of an asset or asset group is required. For example, when significant downward revisions to crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves are made for any single field or concession, an impairment review is performed to determine if the carrying value of the asset remains recoverable. Similarly, a significant downward revision in the company’s crude oil, NGLs or natural gas price outlook would trigger impairment reviews for impacted upstream assets. In addition, impairments could occur due to changes in national, state or local environmental regulations or laws, including those designed to stop or impede the development or production of oil and gas. Also, if the expectation of sale of a particular asset or asset group in any period has been deemed more likely than not, an impairment review is performed, and if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset or asset group, no impairment charge is required. Such calculations are reviewed each period until the asset or asset group is disposed. Assets that are not impaired on a held-and-used basis could possibly become impaired if a decision is made to sell such assets. That is, the assets would be impaired if they are classified as held-for-sale and the estimated proceeds from the sale, less costs to sell, are less than the assets’ associated carrying values.

Investments in common stock of affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method, as well as investments in other securities of these equity investees, are reviewed for impairment when the fair value of the investment falls below the company’s carrying value. When this occurs, a determination must be made as to whether this loss is other-than-temporary, in which case the investment is impaired. Because of the number of differing assumptions potentially affecting whether an investment is impaired in any period or the amount of the impairment, a sensitivity analysis is not practicable.

A sensitivity analysis of the impact on earnings for these periods if other assumptions had been used in impairment reviews and impairment calculations is not practicable, given the broad range of the company’s PP&E and the number of assumptions involved in the estimates. That is, favorable changes to some assumptions might have avoided the need to impair any assets in these periods, whereas unfavorable changes might have caused an additional unknown number of other assets to become impaired, or resulted in larger impacts on impaired assets.

Asset Retirement Obligations In the determination of fair value for an asset retirement obligation (ARO), the company uses various assumptions and judgments, including such factors as the existence of a legal obligation, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount and inflation rates, and the expected impact of advances in technology and process improvements. A sensitivity analysis of the ARO impact on earnings for 2025 is not practicable, given the broad range of the company’s long-lived assets and the number of assumptions involved in the estimates. That is, favorable changes to some assumptions would have reduced estimated future obligations, thereby lowering accretion expense and amortization costs, whereas unfavorable changes would have the opposite effect. Refer to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for additional discussions on asset retirement obligations.

Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans Note 23 Employee Benefit Plans includes information on the funded status of the company’s pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet; the components of pension and OPEB expense reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Income; and the related underlying assumptions.

The determination of pension plan expense and obligations is based on a number of actuarial assumptions. Two critical assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate applied to pension plan obligations. Critical assumptions in determining expense and obligations for OPEB plans, which provide for certain health care and life insurance benefits for qualifying retired employees and which are not funded, are the discount rate and the assumed health care cost-trend rates. Information related to the company’s processes to develop these assumptions is included in Note 23 Employee Benefit Plans under the relevant headings. Actual rates may vary significantly from estimates because of unanticipated changes beyond the company’s control.

For 2025, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 7.1 percent and a discount rate for service costs of 5.7 percent and a discount rate for interest cost of 5.1 percent for the primary U.S. pension plan. The actual return for 2025 was 11.1 percent. For the 10 years ended December 31, 2025, actual asset returns averaged 6.0 percent for this plan. Additionally, with the exception of three years within this 10-year period, actual asset returns for this plan equaled or exceeded 7.1 percent during each year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Table of Contents

Total pension expense for 2025 was $677 million. An increase in the expected long-term return on plan assets or the discount rate would reduce pension plan expense, and vice versa. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension expense to the long-term rate of return assumption, a one percent increase in this assumption for the company’s primary U.S. pension plan, which accounted for about 59 percent of companywide pension expense, would have reduced total pension plan expense for 2025 by approximately $93 million. A one percent increase in the discount rates for this same plan would have reduced pension expense for 2025 by approximately $175 million.

The aggregate funded status recognized at December 31, 2025, was a net liability of approximately $70 million. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the pension obligation, thus changing the funded status of a plan. At December 31, 2025, the company used a discount rate of 5.5 percent to measure the obligations for the primary U.S. pension plan. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension liabilities to the discount rate assumption, a 0.25 percent increase in the discount rate applied to the company’s primary U.S. pension plan, which accounted for about 56 percent of the companywide pension obligation, would have reduced the plan obligation by approximately $247 million, and would have increased the plan’s surplus from $804 million to $1.1 billion.

For the company’s OPEB plans, expense for 2025 was $88 million, and the total liability, all unfunded at the end of 2025, was $2.0 billion. For the primary U.S. OPEB plan, the company used a discount rate for service cost of 5.8 percent and a discount rate for interest cost of 5.2 percent to measure expense in 2025, and a 5.3 percent discount rate to measure the benefit obligations at December 31, 2025. Discount rate changes, similar to those used in the pension sensitivity analysis, resulted in an immaterial impact on 2025 OPEB expense and OPEB liabilities at the end of 2025.

Differences between the various assumptions used to determine expense and the funded status of each plan and actual experience are included in actuarial gain/loss. Refer to page 98 in Note 23 Employee Benefit Plans for more information on the $3.1 billion of before-tax actuarial losses recorded by the company as of December 31, 2025. In addition, information related to company contributions is included on page 101 in Note 23 Employee Benefit Plans under the heading “Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments.”

Business Combinations – Purchase-Price Allocation Accounting Accounting for business combinations requires the allocation of the company’s purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business at their respective fair values. The company uses all available information to make these fair value determinations. Determining the fair value of assets acquired generally involves assumptions regarding the amounts and timing of future revenues and expenditures, as well as discount rates. For additional discussion of purchase price allocations, refer to Note 29 Acquisition of Hess Corporation.

Contingent Losses Management also makes judgments and estimates in recording liabilities for claims, litigation, tax matters, transferred liabilities from previously divested assets, and environmental remediation. Actual costs can frequently vary from estimates for a variety of reasons. For example, the costs for settlement of claims and litigation can vary from estimates based on differing interpretations of laws, opinions on culpability and assessments on the amount of damages. The costs for decommissioning obligations for previously divested assets can also vary from estimates. Recording of liabilities for such costs typically requires judgment to assess the likelihood of decommissioning obligations reverting to the company, the timing of decommissioning activity, regulatory requirements and the scope of decommissioning activities. Similarly, liabilities for environmental remediation are subject to change because of changes in laws, regulations and their interpretation, the determination of additional information on the extent and nature of site contamination, and improvements in technology.

Under the accounting rules, a liability is generally recorded for these types of contingencies if management determines the loss to be both probable and estimable. The company generally reports these losses as “Operating expenses,” “Selling, general and administrative expenses” or “Other income (loss)” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. An exception to this handling is for income tax matters, for which benefits are recognized only if management determines the tax position is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction. For additional discussion of income tax uncertainties, refer to Note 24 Other Contingencies and Commitments under the heading “Income Taxes.” Refer also to the business segment discussions elsewhere in this section for the effect on earnings from losses associated with certain litigation, environmental remediation and tax matters for the three years ended December 31, 2025.

An estimate as to the sensitivity to earnings for these periods if other assumptions had been used in recording these liabilities is not practicable because of the number of contingencies that must be assessed, the number of underlying assumptions and the wide range of reasonably possible outcomes, both in terms of the probability of loss and the estimates of such loss.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Chevron Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions<br><br>The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.<br><br>We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.<br><br>Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Hess Corporation (Hess) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2025. We have also excluded Hess from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Hess is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation whose total assets and total revenues represent 24 percent and 3 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Financial Table of Contents
--- Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting<br><br>A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.<br><br>Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters<br><br>The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
The Impact of Proved Developed Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves on Upstream Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net<br><br>As described in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s upstream property, plant and equipment, net balance was $200.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, and the related depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $18.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, the majority of which related to proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves. The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas exploration and production activities. Depreciation and depletion of all capitalized costs of proved crude oil and natural gas producing properties, except mineral interests, are expensed using the unit-of-production method, generally by individual field, as the proved developed reserves are produced. Depletion expenses for capitalized costs of proved mineral interests are recognized using the unit-of-production method by individual field as the related proved reserves are produced. As disclosed by management, variables impacting the Company’s estimated volumes of proved crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas reserves include field performance, available technology, commodity prices, and development, production and carbon costs. Proved reserves are estimated by Company asset teams composed of earth scientists and engineers. As part of the internal control process related to reserves estimation, the Company maintains a Reserves Advisory Committee (RAC) (the Company’s earth scientists, engineers and RAC are collectively referred to as “management’s specialists”).<br><br>The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impact of proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves on upstream property, plant, and equipment, net is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of management’s specialists, when developing the estimates of proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are derived using historical production volumes and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the data, specifically historical production volumes, methods, and assumptions used by management and its specialists in developing the estimates of proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves.<br><br>Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls Financial Table of Contents

The work of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimates of proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves. As a basis for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications were understood and the Company’s relationship with the specialists was assessed. The procedures performed also included (i) evaluating the methods and assumptions used by the specialists; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used by the specialists related to historical production volumes; and (iii) evaluating the specialists’ findings related to estimated future production volumes by comparing the estimate to relevant historical and current period production volumes, as applicable.

Acquisition of Hess - Valuation of Oil and Gas Properties<br><br>As described in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 18, 2025, the Company acquired Hess and recorded estimated fair values of the acquired properties, plant and equipment of approximately $73.5 billion, of which a significant portion relates to oil and gas properties. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow model that incorporated assumptions for commodity prices, future production volumes, operating costs, development costs, and risk-adjusted discount rates.<br><br>The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of oil and gas properties acquired in the acquisition of Hess is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of management’s specialists, when developing the fair value estimates of oil and gas properties acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to commodity prices, future production volumes, operating costs, development costs, and risk-adjusted discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.<br><br>Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over the valuation of oil and gas properties acquired. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the acquisition agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of oil and gas properties acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow model; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to commodity prices, future production volumes, operating costs, development costs, and risk-adjusted discount rates. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumption related to commodity prices involved comparing the prices to observable market data. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions relating to future production volumes, operating costs, and development costs involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable as compared to historical results of Hess. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model and the reasonableness of the risk-adjusted discount rates assumptions. The work of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the future production volumes used in the discounted cash flow model. As a basis for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications were understood and the Company’s relationship with the specialists was assessed. The procedures performed also included (i) evaluating the methods and assumptions used by the specialists; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used by the specialists; and (iii) evaluating the specialists’ findings.

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General The company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto, including discussion and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Although the company uses its best estimates and judgments, actual results could differ from these estimates as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Prior years’ data have been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the 2025 presentation basis.

Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of controlled subsidiary companies more than 50 percent-owned and any variable interest entities in which the company is the primary beneficiary. Undivided interests in oil and gas joint ventures and certain other assets are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in and advances to affiliates in which the company has a substantial ownership interest of approximately 20 percent to 50 percent, or for which the company exercises significant influence but not control over policy decisions, are accounted for by the equity method.

Investments in affiliates are assessed for possible impairment when events indicate that the fair value of the investment may be below the company’s carrying value. When such a condition is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to its fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net income. In making the determination as to whether a decline is other than temporary, the company considers such factors as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial performance, and the company’s ability and intention to retain its investment for a period that will be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the investment’s market value. The new cost basis of investments in these equity investees is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

Differences between the company’s carrying value of an equity investment and its underlying equity in the net assets of the affiliate are assigned to the extent practicable to specific assets and liabilities based on the company’s analysis of the various factors giving rise to the difference. When appropriate, the company’s share of the affiliate’s reported earnings is adjusted quarterly to reflect the difference between these allocated values and the affiliate’s historical book values.

Variable interest entity The company enters into certain arrangements with legal entities that are evaluated under ASC 810 to determine whether they represent variable interest entities (VIEs). Hess Midstream LP (HESM) is Chevron’s only significant VIE. The company had an approximately 38 percent consolidated ownership interest at December 31, 2025 in HESM, with the balance owned by public shareholders. The company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE since it has the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of HESM, and is obligated to absorb losses and has the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to HESM. This conclusion was based on a qualitative analysis that considered HESM’s governance structure, the commercial agreements between HESM and the company, and the voting rights established between the members.

Noncontrolling Interests Ownership interests in the company’s subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent are presented separately from the parent’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests are both presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Statement of Equity.

Fair Value Measurements The three levels of the fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.

Derivatives The majority of the company’s activity in derivative commodity instruments is intended to manage the financial risk posed by physical transactions. For some of this derivative activity, the company may elect to apply fair value or cash flow hedge accounting with changes in fair value recorded as components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For other similar derivative instruments, generally because of the short-term nature of the contracts or their limited use, the company does not apply hedge accounting, and changes in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in current income. For the company’s commodity trading activity, gains and losses from derivative instruments are reported in current income. The company may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt, if any, may be accounted for as fair value hedges. Interest rate swaps related to floating-rate debt, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. Where Chevron is a party to master netting

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

arrangements, fair value receivable and payable amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty are generally offset on the balance sheet.

Inventories Crude oil, products and chemicals inventories are generally stated at cost, using a last-in, first-out method. In the aggregate, these costs are below market. “Materials, supplies and other” inventories are primarily stated at cost or net realizable value.

Properties, Plant and Equipment The successful efforts method is used for crude oil and natural gas exploration and production activities. All costs for development wells, related plant and equipment, proved mineral interests in crude oil and natural gas properties, and related asset retirement obligation (ARO) assets are capitalized. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether the wells found proved reserves. Costs of wells that are assigned proved reserves remain capitalized. Costs also are capitalized for exploratory wells that have found crude oil and natural gas reserves even if the reserves cannot be classified as proved when the drilling is completed, provided the exploratory well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. All other exploratory wells and costs are expensed. Refer to Note 21 Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells for additional discussion of accounting for suspended exploratory well costs.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved crude oil and natural gas properties, are assessed for possible impairment by comparing their carrying values with their associated undiscounted, future net cash flows. Events that can trigger assessments for possible impairments include write-downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant decreases in the market value of an asset (including changes to the commodity price forecast or carbon costs), significant change in the extent or manner of use of or a physical change in an asset, and a more likely than not expectation that a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly sooner than the end of its previously estimated useful life. Impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair values, generally their discounted, future net cash flows. For proved crude oil and natural gas properties, the company performs impairment reviews on a country, concession, PSC, development area or field basis, as appropriate. In downstream, impairment reviews are performed on the basis of a refinery, a plant, a marketing/lubricants area or distribution area, as appropriate. Impairment amounts are recorded as incremental “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” expense.

Long-lived assets that are held for sale are evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset with its fair value less the cost to sell. If the net book value exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, the asset is considered impaired and adjusted to the lower value. Refer to Note 9 Fair Value Measurements relating to fair value measurements.

The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded as an asset and a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Refer also to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations relating to AROs.

Depreciation and depletion of all capitalized costs of proved crude oil and natural gas producing properties, except mineral interests, are expensed using the unit-of-production method, generally by individual field, as the proved developed reserves are produced. Depletion expenses for capitalized costs of proved mineral interests are recognized using the unit-of-production method by individual field as the related proved reserves are produced. Impairments of capitalized costs of unproved mineral interests are expensed.

The capitalized costs of all other plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. In general, the declining-balance method is used to depreciate plant and equipment in the United States; the straight-line method is generally used to depreciate international plant and equipment and to amortize finance lease right-of-use assets.

Gains or losses are not recognized for normal retirements of properties, plant and equipment subject to composite group amortization or depreciation. Gains or losses from abnormal retirements are recorded as expenses, and from sales as “Other income.”

Expenditures for maintenance (including those for planned major maintenance projects), repairs and minor renewals to maintain facilities in operating condition are generally expensed as incurred. Major replacements and renewals are capitalized.

Leases Leases are classified as operating or finance leases. Both operating and finance leases recognize lease liabilities and associated right-of-use assets. The company has elected the short-term lease exception and therefore only recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year. The company has elected the practical

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components for most asset classes except for certain asset classes that have significant non-lease (i.e., service) components.

Where leases are used in joint ventures, the company recognizes 100 percent of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when the company is the sole signatory for the lease (in most cases, where the company is the operator of a joint venture). Lease costs reflect only the costs associated with the operator’s working interest share. The lease term includes the committed lease term identified in the contract, taking into account renewal and termination options that management is reasonably certain to exercise. The company uses its incremental borrowing rate as a proxy for the discount rate based on the term of the lease unless the implicit rate is available.

Decommissioning Obligations from Previously Divested Assets Some assets are divested with their related liabilities, including decommissioning obligations, to a buyer that results in de-recognition of the liability from the balance sheet. In certain instances, such transferred obligations may return to the company and result in losses. To the extent the current owners of the company’s previously divested assets default on their decommissioning obligations, regulators may require that Chevron assume such obligations. The company would accrue losses associated with these obligations when management determines the loss to be both probable and reasonably estimable. This typically requires judgment to assess the likelihood of decommissioning obligations reverting to the company, the timing of decommissioning activity, regulatory requirements and the scope of decommissioning activities. For more information on decommissioning obligations related to previously divested assets, refer to Note 24 Other Contingencies and Commitments.

Goodwill Goodwill resulting from a business combination is not subject to amortization. The company tests such goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed. Expenditures that create future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation are capitalized.

Liabilities related to future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments or cleanups or both are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For crude oil, natural gas and mineral-producing properties, a liability for an ARO is made in accordance with accounting standards for asset retirement and environmental obligations. Refer to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for a discussion of the company’s AROs.

For U.S. federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, the company records a liability for its designated share of the probable and estimable costs, and probable amounts for other potentially responsible parties when mandated by the regulatory agencies because the other parties are not able to pay their respective shares. The gross amount of environmental liabilities is based on the company’s best estimate of future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations and the company’s own internal environmental policies. Future amounts are not discounted. Recoveries or reimbursements are recorded as assets when receipt is reasonably assured.

Currency Translation The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for substantially all of the company’s consolidated operations and those of its equity affiliates. For those operations, all gains and losses from currency remeasurement are included in current period income. The cumulative translation effects for those few entities, both consolidated and affiliated, using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in “Currency translation adjustment” within Note 2. Changes in AOCL.

Revenue Recognition The company accounts for each delivery order of crude oil, NGLs, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products as a separate performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which typically occurs at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. Payment is generally due within 30 days of delivery. The company accounts for delivery transportation as a fulfillment cost, not a separate performance obligation, and recognizes these costs as an operating expense in the period when revenue for the related commodity is recognized.

Revenue is measured as the amount the company expects to receive in exchange for transferring commodities to the customer. The company’s commodity sales are typically based on prevailing market-based prices and may include discounts and allowances. Until market prices become known under terms of the company’s contracts, the transaction price included in revenue is based on the company’s estimate of the most likely outcome.

Discounts and allowances are estimated using a combination of historical and recent data trends. When deliveries contain multiple products, an observable standalone selling price is generally used to measure revenue for each product. The

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

company includes estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable in subsequent periods.

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation The company issues stock options and other share-based compensation to certain employees. For equity awards, such as stock options and certain restricted stock units, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value, and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. The company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period in which an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement. For more information on stock options and other share-based compensation, refer to Note 22 Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation.

New Accounting Standards

Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures The company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2023-09 which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The standard requires companies to disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation table and the amount of income taxes paid per major jurisdiction. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. For additional information, refer to Note 17 Taxes.

Income Statement (Topic 220) Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard requires companies to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and has begun evaluating disclosure presentation alternatives.

Fair Value Measurements

Marketable Securities The company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets. The fair values reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were sold at December 31, 2025.

Derivatives The company records most of its derivative instruments – other than any commodity derivative contracts that are accounted for as normal purchase and normal sale – on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, with the offsetting amount to the Consolidated Statement of Income. The company designates certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, if applicable. Derivatives classified as Level 1 include futures, swaps and options contracts valued using quoted prices from active markets such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. Derivatives classified as Level 2 include swaps, options and forward contracts, the fair values of which are obtained from third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services and exchanges. The company obtains multiple sources of pricing information for the Level 2 instruments. Since this pricing information is generated from observable market data, it has historically been very consistent. The company does not materially adjust this information.

Properties, Plant and Equipment The company did not have any individually material impairments of long lived assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in 2025 or 2024.

Investments and Advances The company did not have any material impairments of investments and advances measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in 2025 or 2024.

The tables below show the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Total nonrecurring assets at fair value $ 53 $ $ 44 $ 9 $ 168 $ 976 $ $ 652 $ 324 $ 789

At year-end 2025, the company had assets measured at fair value Level 3 using unobservable inputs of $9. The carrying value of these assets were written down to fair value primarily based on estimates derived from discounted cash flow models. Cash flows were determined using estimates of future production, an outlook of future price based on published prices and a discount rate believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants.

Fair value measurements related to assets and liabilities acquired in the Hess Corporation (Hess) acquisition are disclosed in Note 29 - Acquisition of Hess Corporation.

Assets and Liabilities Not Required to Be Measured at Fair Value The company holds cash equivalents in U.S. and non-U.S. portfolios. The instruments classified as cash equivalents are primarily bank time deposits with maturities of 90 days or less and money market funds. “Cash and cash equivalents” had carrying/fair values of $6,293 and $6,781 at

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 and reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were settled at December 31, 2025.

“Cash and cash equivalents” do not include investments with a carrying/fair value of $992 and $1,481 at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, these investments are classified as Level 1 and include restricted funds mainly related to certain upstream decommissioning activities.

Long-term debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, of $28,532 and $10,810 at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, had estimated fair values of $28,610 and $9,791, respectively. Long-term debt primarily includes corporate issued bonds. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of corporate bonds is $24,300 and classified as Level 1 and the fair value of other long-term debt classified as Level 2 is $4,310.

The carrying values of other short-term financial assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their fair values. Fair value remeasurements of other financial instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024, were not material.

Note 10

Financial and Derivative Instruments

Derivative Commodity Instruments The company’s derivative commodity instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas and refined product futures, swaps, options, and forward contracts. The company applies cash flow hedge accounting to certain commodity transactions, where appropriate, to manage the market price risk associated with forecasted sales of crude oil. The company’s derivatives are not material to the company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodity derivative activities.

The company uses derivative commodity instruments traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and on electronic platforms of the Inter-Continental Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, the company enters into swap contracts and option contracts principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in the “over-the-counter” markets, which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements and other master netting arrangements. Depending on the nature of the derivative transactions, bilateral collateral arrangements may also be required.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows:

Consolidated Balance Sheet: Fair Value of Derivatives

At December 31
Type of Contract Balance Sheet Classification 2025 2024
Commodity Accounts and notes receivable $ 191 $ 122
Commodity Long-term receivables, net 73 15

The amount reclassified from AOCL to “Sales and other operating revenues” from designated hedges was a net loss of $27 in 2025, compared with a net loss of $25 in the prior year. At December 31, 2025, before-tax deferred gains in AOCL

related to outstanding crude oil price hedging contracts were $10, all of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged crude oil sales are recognized in earnings.

The table below represents gross and net derivative assets and liabilities subject to netting agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Derivative Assets - designated $ $ $ $ $
Derivative Liabilities - not designated $ 1,894 $ 1,758 $ 136 $ 2 $ 134
Derivative Liabilities - designated $ 17 $ $ 17 $ $ 17

Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable,” “Long-term receivables,” “Accounts payable,” and “Deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations.” Amounts not offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represent positions that do not meet all the conditions for “a right of offset.”

Concentrations of Credit Risk The company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments and trade receivables. The company’s short-term investments are placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. Company investment policies limit the company’s exposure both to credit risk and to concentrations of credit risk. Similar policies on diversification and creditworthiness are applied to the company’s counterparties in derivative instruments. For a discussion of credit risk on trade receivables, see Note 28 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Note 11

Assets Held for Sale

At December 31, 2025, the company classified $25 of net properties, plant and equipment as “Assets held for sale” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets are associated with downstream operations that are anticipated to be sold in the next 12 months. The revenues and earnings contributions of these assets in 2025 were not material.

Note 12

Equity

Retained earnings at December 31, 2025 and 2024, included $32,062 and $35,349, respectively, for the company’s share of undistributed earnings of equity affiliates.

At December 31, 2025, about 93 million shares of Chevron’s common stock remained available for issuance from the 104 million shares that were reserved for issuance under the 2022 Chevron Long-Term Incentive Plan. In addition, 537,174 shares remain available for issuance from the 1,600,000 shares of the company’s common stock that were reserved for awards under the Chevron Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan.

Note 13

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is based upon “Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Chevron Corporation” (“earnings”) and includes the effects of deferrals of salary and other compensation awards that are invested in Chevron stock units by certain officers and employees of the company. Diluted EPS includes the effects of these items as well as the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options awarded under the company’s stock option programs (refer to Note 22 Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation).

Operating Segments and Geographic Data

Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in these subsidiaries and their affiliates. The investments are grouped into two business segments, Upstream and Downstream, representing the company’s “reportable segments” and “operating segments.” Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing, producing and transporting crude oil and natural gas; liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with LNG; transporting crude oil by major international oil export pipelines; processing, transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; carbon capture and storage; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining of crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil, refined products, and lubricants; manufacturing and marketing of renewable fuels; transporting of crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant additives. “All Other” activities of the company include worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology activities.

The company’s segments are managed by “segment managers” who report to the “chief operating decision maker” (CODM), which is comprised of the company’s Executive Committee.

The segments represent components of the company that engage in activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred. Each segment has discrete financial information available. The CODM regularly reviews the operating results of these segments to assess their performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. The company's primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile, while other components of the company's operations are reported as “International” (outside the United States).

Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues Products are transferred between operating segments at internal product values that approximate market prices. Revenues for the upstream segment are derived primarily from the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, as well as the sale of third-party production of natural gas. Revenues for the downstream segment are derived from the refining and marketing of petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel, gas oils, lubricants, residual fuel oils and other products derived from crude oil. This segment also generates revenues from the manufacture and sale of fuel and lubricant additives, renewable fuels, and the transportation and trading of refined products and crude oil. “All Other” activities include revenues from insurance operations, real estate activities and technology companies.

Segment Expenses Purchased crude oil and products, operating and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization are the company’s significant segment expenses. Operating and SG&A expenses include transportation, employee costs, service and fees, fuel and utilities, materials and supplies, SG&A expenses and other components of net periodic benefit costs. Other costs and deductions primarily represent taxes other than on income, exploration expense and interest and debt expenses.

Segment Earnings The company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on an after-tax basis, without considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or investment interest income, both of which are managed by the

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

company on a worldwide basis. Corporate administrative costs are not allocated to the operating segments. However, operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate services. Non-billable costs remain at the corporate level in “All Other.”

Descriptions of major equity affiliates and non-equity investments, including significant differences between the company’s carrying value of its investments and its underlying equity in the net assets of the affiliates, are as follows:

Tengizchevroil Chevron has a 50 percent equity ownership interest in TCO, which operates the Tengiz and Korolev crude oil fields in Kazakhstan. At December 31, 2025, the company’s carrying value of its investment in TCO was about $62 higher than the amount of underlying equity in TCO’s net assets. This difference results from Chevron acquiring a portion of its interest in TCO at a value greater than the underlying book value for that portion of TCO’s net assets. Included in the investment is a loan to TCO to fund the development of the Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) and Future Growth Project (FGP) with a principal balance of $3,500.

Caspian Pipeline Consortium Chevron has a 15 percent interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which provides the critical export route for crude oil from both TCO and Karachaganak.

Angola LNG Limited Chevron has a 36.4 percent interest in Angola LNG Limited, which processes and liquefies natural gas produced in Angola for delivery to international markets.

Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC Chevron owns 50 percent of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC. Included in the investment balance is a loan with a principal balance of $969 to fund a portion of the Golden Triangle Polymers Project in Orange, Texas, in which Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC owns 51 percent.

GS Caltex Corporation Chevron owns 50 percent of GS Caltex Corporation, a joint venture with GS Energy in South Korea. The joint venture imports, produces and markets petroleum products, petrochemicals and lubricants.

Other Information “Sales and other operating revenues” on the Consolidated Statement of Income includes $12,563, $13,850 and $13,623 with affiliated companies for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. “Purchased crude oil and products” includes $7,322, $6,547 and $7,404 with affiliated companies for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

“Accounts and notes receivable” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $913 and $1,258 due from affiliated companies at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. “Accounts payable” includes $764 and $556 due to affiliated companies at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table provides summarized financial information on a 100 percent basis for all equity affiliates as well as Chevron’s total share, which includes Chevron’s net loans to affiliates of $4,077, $4,731 and $4,494 at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Litigation

Climate Change

Governmental and other plaintiffs in various jurisdictions across the United States have brought lawsuits against fossil fuel producing companies, including Chevron entities, purporting to seek legal and equitable relief to address alleged impacts of climate change. Chevron entities are or were among the codefendants in 34 separate lawsuits filed by various U.S. cities and counties, seven U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, two Native American tribes, and a trade group in both federal and state courts.3 The lawsuits have asserted various causes of action, including public nuisance, private nuisance, failure to warn, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, design defect, product defect, trespass, negligence, impairment of public trust, equitable relief for pollution, impairment and destruction of natural resources, unjust enrichment, violations of consumer and environmental protection statutes, violations of unfair competition statutes, violations of a federal antitrust statute, and violations of federal and state RICO statutes, based upon, among other things, the company’s production of oil and gas products and alleged misrepresentations or omissions relating to climate change risks associated with those products. Further such lawsuits are likely to be brought by other parties. While defendants have sought to remove cases filed in state court to federal court, most of those cases have been remanded to state court and the U.S. Supreme Court has denied petitions for certiorari on the question of whether federal courts have jurisdiction over those cases. The U.S. Supreme Court has also denied certiorari to review a decision from the Hawaii Supreme Court allowing claims brought by the City and County of Honolulu to proceed past the pleadings. On February 23, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc., et. al. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, et. al. (No. 25‑170), a case in which no Chevron entity is a party, to address the questions of whether federal law precludes state‑law claims seeking relief for injuries allegedly caused by the effects of interstate and international greenhouse gas emissions on the global climate and whether the U.S. Supreme Court has statutory and Article III jurisdiction to hear that case. The unprecedented legal theories set forth in these climate lawsuits include claims for damages (both compensatory and punitive), injunctive and other forms of equitable relief, including without limitation abatement, contribution to abatement funds, disgorgement of profits and equitable relief for pollution, impairment and destruction of natural resources, civil penalties and liability for fees and costs of suits. Due to the unprecedented nature of the suits, the company is unable to estimate any range of possible liability, but given the uncertainty of litigation there can be no assurance that the cases will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition. Management believes that these lawsuits are legally and factually meritless and detract from constructive efforts to address the important policy issues presented by climate change and will vigorously defend against such lawsuits.

Louisiana

Seven coastal parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed lawsuits in Louisiana against numerous oil and gas companies seeking remediation damages for coastal erosion in or near oil fields located within Louisiana’s coastal zone under Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA). Chevron entities are defendants in 36 of these cases.4 The lawsuits allege that the defendants’ historical operations were conducted without necessary permits or failed to comply with permits obtained and seek remediation damages and other relief, including the costs of restoring coastal wetlands allegedly impacted by oil field operations. Further such proceedings may be brought by other parties. Most of these cases have been remanded to Louisiana state court. In April 2025, a jury in a Louisiana state court awarded Plaquemines Parish $744.6 million in a trial against Chevron entities (i.e., Plaquemines Parish v. Rozel Operating Co., et al. (“Rozel”)). The state court judge continued a hearing on Plaquemines Parish’s motion for entry of judgment on the Rozel trial verdict and stayed that case pending a decision by the United States Supreme Court on whether certain cases belong in federal, rather than state, court. The United States Supreme Court heard oral argument on the federal jurisdiction question on January 12, 2026.

The company does not concede the viability of the Rozel jury verdict and plans to appeal any judgment based on that verdict. The jury’s decision was unique to the facts and circumstances of the case and may not be representative of future outcomes for other claims brought against Chevron entities under the SLCRMA. In accordance with guidance on the evaluation of loss contingencies, the company has recorded an accrual of $131 million, which the company believes to be a reasonably estimable loss in light of the available defenses. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. However, because of the uncertainties associated with ongoing litigation, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss that may be attributable to liabilities, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. While the company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported and intends to appeal and vigorously pursue post-judgment remedies, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. To the extent the company is required to pay remediation damages in these cases, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Management believes that the claims in these lawsuits lack legal and factual merit and will continue to vigorously defend against such proceedings.

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

The 2025 decrease in income tax expense of $2,499 was driven by the decrease in total income before tax of $7,763, along with the absence of the tax impacts from the prior year asset sales in Canada. The change in the company’s effective tax rate from 35.5 percent in 2024 to 36.8 percent in 2025 was primarily a result of unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.

The reconciliation of income taxes paid in the U.S. and other significant international jurisdictions for the year ended December 31, 2025, is detailed in the following table:

1 U.S. Federal taxes paid are affected by accelerated depreciation and the immediate expensing of research and development costs provided by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, as well as net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits from biofuels production and other lower carbon activities, and prior year overpayments.

2 Includes taxes associated with the Canada asset sale in 2024 that were paid in 2025.

3 Taxes settled with the government in the form of crude oil barrels.

4 Includes withholding tax and excludes taxes paid by the company’s equity affiliate, TCO.

The company records its deferred taxes on a tax-jurisdiction basis. The reported deferred tax balances are composed of the following:

At December 31
2025 2024
Deferred tax liabilities
Properties, plant and equipment $ 34,149 $ 20,648
Investments and other 6,668 5,254

Tax credits (430) (292)
Tax loss carryforwards (7,141) (3,034)
Other accrued liabilities (909) (1,137)
Operating leases (1,886) (1,352)
Miscellaneous (4,311) (4,248)
Total deferred tax assets (40,526) (31,594)
Deferred tax assets valuation allowance 26,861 21,313
Total deferred income taxes, net $ 27,152 $ 15,621

Deferred tax liabilities increased by $14,915 from year-end 2024, driven by the acquisition of Hess. Deferred tax assets increased by $8,932 from year-end 2024, primarily related to increases in foreign tax credits and tax loss carryforwards from the acquisition of Hess.

The overall valuation allowance, which increased by $5,548 from year-end 2024, relates to deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards, tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences. The valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax assets to amounts that are, in management’s assessment, more likely than not to be realized. At the end of 2025, the company had gross tax loss carryforwards of approximately $29,161 and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $430, primarily related to various international tax jurisdictions. Whereas some of these tax loss carryforwards do not have an expiration date, others expire at various times from 2026 through 2044. U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $18,932 will expire between 2026 and 2035.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, deferred taxes were classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows:

At December 31
2025 2024
Deferred charges and other assets $ (2,862) $ (3,516)
Noncurrent deferred income taxes 30,014 19,137
Total deferred income taxes, net $ 27,152 $ 15,621

Income taxes, including U.S. state and foreign withholding taxes, are not accrued for unremitted earnings of international operations that have been or are intended to be reinvested indefinitely, or where no taxable temporary differences exist that are attributable to an investment in a foreign entity. The indefinite reinvestment assertion continues to apply for the purpose of determining deferred tax liabilities for U.S. state and foreign withholding tax purposes. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of state and foreign withholding taxes that might be payable on the possible remittance of earnings that are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. The company does not anticipate incurring significant additional taxes on remittances of earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions The company recognizes a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” in the accounting standards for income taxes refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods.

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The term “unrecognized tax benefits” in the accounting standards for income taxes refers to the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit measured and recognized in the financial statements. Interest and penalties are not included.

2025 2024 2023
Balance at January 1 $ 4,852 $ 5,452 $ 5,323
Foreign currency effects (27)
Additions based on tax positions taken in current year 632 236 248
Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 546 101 265
Reductions based on tax positions taken in current year (29) (54) (104)
Reductions for tax positions taken in prior years (3,390) (883) (251)
Settlements with taxing authorities in current year (2)
Balance at December 31 $ 2,611 $ 4,852 $ 5,452

Approximately 81 percent of the $2,611 of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025, would have an impact on the effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. Certain of these unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax carryforwards that may require a full valuation allowance at the time of any such recognition.

The company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxation and audits throughout the world. With certain exceptions, income tax examinations are completed through 2019 for the United States and 2007 for other major jurisdictions.

On the Consolidated Statement of Income, the company reports interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions as “Income Tax Expense (Benefit).” As of December 31, 2025, accrued expense of $306 for anticipated interest and penalties was included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, compared with accrued expense of $268 as of year-end 2024. Income tax expense (benefit) associated with interest and penalties was $37, $40 and $124 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Redeemable long-term obligations consist primarily of tax-exempt variable-rate put bonds that are included as current liabilities because they become redeemable at the option of the bondholders during the year following the balance sheet date.

The company may periodically enter into interest rate swaps on a portion of its short-term debt. At December 31, 2025, the company had no interest rate swaps on short-term debt.

At December 31, 2025, the company had $11,400 in 364-day committed credit facilities with various major banks that enable the refinancing of short-term obligations. The credit facilities allow the company the option to convert outstanding short-term obligations into a term loan for a period of up to one year from the facilities termination date. This supports commercial paper borrowing and can also be used for general corporate purposes. The company’s practice has been to replace expiring commitments with new commitments on substantially the same terms, maintaining levels management believes appropriate. Any borrowings under these facilities would be unsecured indebtedness at interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or an average of base lending rates published by specified banks and on terms reflecting the company’s strong credit rating. No borrowings were outstanding under these facilities at December 31, 2025.

The company classified $9,941 and $8,250 of short-term debt as long-term at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Settlement of these obligations is not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to continue refinancing them.

Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells

The company continues to capitalize exploratory well costs after the completion of drilling when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify completion as a producing well, and the business unit is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If either condition is not met or if the company obtains information that raises substantial doubt about the economic or operational viability of the project, the exploratory well would be assumed to be impaired, and its costs, net of any salvage value, would be charged to expense.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s suspended exploratory well costs for the three years ended December 31, 2025:

2025 2024 2023
Beginning balance at January 1 $ 1,662 $ 1,648 $ 1,627

*Represents property sales.

The following table provides an aging of capitalized well costs and the number of projects for which exploratory well costs have been capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling:

At December 31
2025 2024 2023
Exploratory well costs capitalized for a period of one year or less $ 148 $ 17 $ 78
Exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year 1,611 1,645 1,570
Balance at December 31 $ 1,759 $ 1,662 $ 1,648
Number of projects with exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year* 15 14 13

*Certain projects have multiple wells or fields or both.

Of the $1,611 of exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year at December 31, 2025, $848 is related to nine projects that had drilling activities underway or firmly planned for the near future. The $763 balance is related to six projects in areas requiring a major capital expenditure before production could begin and for which additional drilling efforts were not underway or firmly planned for the near future. Additional drilling was not deemed necessary because the presence of hydrocarbons had already been established, and other activities were in process to enable a future decision on project development.

The projects for the $763 referenced above had the following activities associated with assessing the reserves and the projects’ economic viability: (a) $348 (four projects) – undergoing front-end engineering and design with final investment decision expected within four years; (b) $415 (two projects) – development alternatives under review. While progress was being made on all 15 projects, the decision on the recognition of proved reserves under SEC rules in some cases may not occur for several years because of the complexity, scale and negotiations associated with the projects. More than half of these decisions are expected to occur in the next five years.

The $1,611 of suspended well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2025, represents 73 exploratory wells in 15 projects. The tables below contain the aging of these costs on a well and project basis:

Aging based on drilling completion date of individual wells: Amount Number of wells

2010-2014 1,068 46
2015-2024 280 13

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for stock options for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $73 ($56 after tax), $90 ($68 after tax) and $85 ($65 after tax), respectively. In addition, compensation expense for stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and restricted stock units for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $399 ($303 after tax), $510 ($388 after tax) and $(100) ($(76) after tax), respectively. No significant stock-based compensation cost was capitalized at December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

Cash received in payment for option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $374, $356 and $263, respectively. Actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises were $29, $24 and $20 for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash paid to settle performance shares, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights was $405, $395 and $566 for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On May 25, 2022, stockholders approved the Chevron 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2022 LTIP). Awards under the 2022 LTIP may take the form of, but are not limited to, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and non-stock grants. From May 2022 through May 2032, no more than 104 million shares may be issued under the 2022 LTIP. For awards issued on or after May 25, 2022, no more than 48 million of those shares may be issued in the form of full value awards such as share-settled restricted stock, share-settled restricted stock units, share-settled performance shares and other share-settled awards that do not require full payment in cash or property for shares underlying such awards by the award recipient. Contractual terms of equity awards vary between three years for the performance shares and special restricted stock units with cliff vesting at the end of the contractual period, five years for standard restricted stock units with cliff vesting at the end of the contractual period and 10 years for the stock options and stock appreciation rights with graded vesting provisions by which one-third of each award vests around each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Commencing for grants issued in January 2023 and after, standard restricted stock units vest ratably on an annual basis over a three-year period. Forfeitures of performance shares, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights are recognized as they occur. Forfeitures of stock options are estimated using historical forfeiture data dating back to 1990.

Fair Value and Assumptions The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Year ended December 31
2025 2024 2023
Expected term in years1 6.5 6.5 6.4

Dividend yield 4.5 % 4.1 % 3.5 %
Weighted-average fair value per option granted $ 37.60 $ 38.00 $ 45.82

1    Expected term is based on historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation data.

2    Volatility rate is based on historical stock prices over an appropriate period, generally equal to the expected term.

A summary of option activity during 2025 is presented below:

Shares (Thousands) Weighted-Average<br> Exercise Price Averaged Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2025 23,168 $ 122.62
Granted 3,879 $ 130.05

Forfeited (1,082) $ 209.13
Outstanding at December 31, 2025 22,164 $ 123.78 5.10 $ 704
Exercisable at December 31, 2025 18,050 $ 116.44 4.32 $ 703

The total intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the exercise price and the market price) of options exercised during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $227, $190 and $167, respectively. During this period, the company continued its practice of issuing treasury shares upon exercise of these awards.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $379 of total unrecognized before-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Employee Benefit Plans

The company has defined benefit pension plans for many employees. The company typically prefunds defined benefit plans as required by local regulations or in certain situations where prefunding provides economic advantages. In the United States, all qualified plans are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under laws and regulations because contributions to these pension plans may be less economic and investment returns may be less attractive than the company’s other investment alternatives.

The company also sponsors other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans that provide medical and dental benefits, as well as life insurance for some active and qualifying retired employees. The plans are unfunded, and the company and retirees share the costs. For the company’s main U.S. medical plan, the increase to the pre-Medicare company contribution for retiree medical coverage is limited to no more than 4 percent each year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company.

The company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension and OPEB plans as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The funded status of the company’s pension and OPEB plans for 2025 and 2024 follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase in benefit obligations was primarily due to the acquisition of Hess. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease in benefit obligations was primarily due to actuarial gains caused by higher discount rates used to value the obligations.

Amounts recognized on a before-tax basis in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for the company’s pension and OPEB plans were $3,171 and $3,376 at the end of 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts consisted of:

Assumptions The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs for years ended December 31:

Pension Benefits
2025 2024 2023 Other Benefits
U.S. Int’l. U.S. Int’l. U.S. Int’l. 2025 2024 2023
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations:
Discount rate 5.5 % 6.2 % 5.7 % 6.0 % 5.0 % 5.5 % 5.4 % 5.7 % 5.1 %

Discount rate for interest cost 5.1 % 6.0 % 4.8 % 5.5 % 5.0 % 5.8 % 5.4 % 5.1 % 5.2 %
Expected return on plan assets 7.1 % 6.2 % 7.0 % 5.9 % 7.0 % 6.1 % N/A N/A N/A

Cash balance interest crediting rate 4.8 % N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

Expected Return on Plan Assets The company’s estimated long-term rates of return on pension assets are driven primarily by actual historical asset-class returns, an assessment of expected future performance, advice from external actuarial firms and the incorporation of specific asset-class risk factors. Asset allocations are periodically updated using pension plan asset/liability studies, and the company’s estimated long-term rates of return are consistent with these studies. For 2025, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 7.1 percent for U.S. pension plan assets, which account for 76 percent of the company’s pension plan assets at the beginning of the year.

The market-related value of assets of the main U.S. pension plan used in the determination of pension expense was based on the market values in the three months preceding the year-end measurement date. Management considers the three-month time period long enough to minimize the effects of distortions from day-to-day market volatility and still be contemporaneous to the end of the year. For other plans, market value of assets as of year-end is used in calculating the pension expense.

Discount Rate The discount rate assumptions used to determine the U.S. and international pension and OPEB plan obligations and expense reflect the rate at which benefits could be effectively settled, and are equal to the equivalent single rate resulting from yield curve analysis. This analysis considered the projected benefit payments specific to the company’s plans and the yields on high-quality bonds. The projected cash flows were discounted to the valuation date using the yield curve for the main U.S. pension and OPEB plans. The effective discount rates derived from this analysis were 5.5 percent,

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

5.7 percent, and 5.0 percent for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, for the main U.S. pension plan and 5.3 percent, 5.6 percent, and 5.0 percent for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, for the main U.S. OPEB plans.

Other Benefit Assumptions For the measurement of accumulated post-employment benefit obligation at December 31, 2025, for the main U.S. OPEB plan, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with 7.9 percent in 2026 and gradually decline to 4.5 percent for 2035 and beyond. For this measurement at December 31, 2024, the assumed health care cost-trend rates started with 8.4 percent in 2025 and gradually declined to 4.5 percent for 2034 and beyond.

The primary investment objectives of the pension plans are to achieve the highest rate of total return within prudent levels of risk and liquidity, to diversify and mitigate potential downside risk associated with the investments, and to provide adequate liquidity for benefit payments and portfolio management.

The company’s U.S. and U.K. pension plans comprise 95 percent of the total pension assets. Both the U.S. and U.K. plans have an Investment Committee that regularly meets during the year to review the asset holdings and their returns. To assess the plans’ investment performance, long-term asset allocation policy benchmarks have been established.

For the primary U.S. pension plan, the company’s Investment Committee has established the following approved asset allocation ranges: Equities 30–60 percent, Fixed Income 30–50 percent, Real Assets 5–25 percent, Private Equity 0–5 percent and Cash 0–10 percent. For the U.K. pension plan, the U.K. Plan Trustee has established the following asset allocation guidelines: Equities 5–15 percent, Fixed Income 63–93 percent, Real Estate 5–15 percent, and Cash 0–7 percent. The other significant international pension plans also have established maximum and minimum asset allocation ranges that vary by plan. Actual asset allocation within approved ranges is based on a variety of factors, including market conditions and liquidity constraints. To mitigate concentration and other risks, assets are invested across multiple asset classes with active investment managers and passive index funds.

The company does not prefund its OPEB obligations.

Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments In 2025, the company contributed $473 and $115 to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. In 2026, the company expects contributions to be approximately $525 to its U.S. plans and $100 to its international pension plans. Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon investment returns, changes in pension obligations, regulatory environments, tax law changes and other economic factors. Additional funding may ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.

The company anticipates paying OPEB benefits of approximately $162 in 2026; $147 was paid in 2025.

The following benefit payments, which include estimated future service, are expected to be paid by the company in the next 10 years:

Pension Benefits Other

Employee Savings Investment Plan Eligible employees of Chevron and certain of its subsidiaries participate in the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (ESIP). Compensation expense for the ESIP totaled $323, $330 and $320 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Benefit Plan Trusts Prior to its acquisition by Chevron, Texaco established a benefit plan trust for funding obligations under some of its benefit plans. At year-end 2025, the trust contained 14.2 million shares of Chevron treasury stock. The trust will sell the shares or use the dividends from the shares to pay benefits only to the extent that the company does not pay such benefits. The company intends to continue to pay its obligations under the benefit plans. The trustee will vote the shares held in the trust as instructed by the trust’s beneficiaries. The shares held in the trust are not considered outstanding for earnings-per-share purposes until distributed or sold by the trust in payment of benefit obligations.

Employee Incentive Plans The Chevron Incentive Plan is an annual cash bonus plan for eligible employees that links awards to corporate and individual performance in the prior year. Charges to expense for cash bonuses were $1,300, $965 and $809 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Chevron also has the LTIP for officers and other regular salaried employees of the company and its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility. Awards under the LTIP consist of stock options and other share-based compensation that are described in Note 22 Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation.

Note 24

Other Contingencies and Commitments

Income Taxes The company calculates its income tax expense and liabilities quarterly. These liabilities generally are subject to audit and are not finalized with the individual taxing authorities until several years after the end of the annual period for which income taxes have been calculated. Refer to Note 17 Taxes for a discussion of the periods for which tax returns have been audited for the company’s major tax jurisdictions and a discussion for all tax jurisdictions of the differences between the amount of tax benefits recognized in the financial statements and the amount taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Settlement of open tax years, as well as other tax issues in countries where the company conducts its businesses, are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company and, in the opinion of management, adequate provisions have been made for all years under examination or subject to future examination.

Guarantees The company has provided certain guarantees in the ordinary course of business, including financial and performance guarantees related to equity affiliates. Chevron has no material guarantees outstanding.

Indemnifications The company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with its partners, suppliers and vendors in the ordinary course of business, the terms of which range in duration and sometimes are not limited. The company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection with its service or other claims made against such parties.

Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements The company and its subsidiaries have certain contingent liabilities with respect to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, including throughput and take-or-pay agreements, some of which may relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline and storage capacity, utilities, and petroleum products, to be used or sold in the ordinary course of the company’s business. The aggregate amounts of required payments under throughput and take-or-pay agreements are: 2026 – $1,330; 2027 – $1,554; 2028 – $1,807; 2029 – $1,806; 2030 – $1,700; after 2030 – $11,080. The aggregate amount of required payments for other unconditional purchase obligations are: 2026 – $204; 2027 – $215; 2028 – $155; 2029 – $16; 2030 – $16; after 2030 – $31. A portion of these commitments may ultimately be shared with project partners. Total payments under the agreements were $1,104 in 2025, $1,354 in 2024 and $1,420 in 2023.

Environmental The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to laws, regulations, private claims and legal proceedings related to environmental matters that are subject to legal settlements or that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various operating, closed and divested sites, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, chemical plants, marketing facilities, crude oil fields and mining sites.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, it is likely that the company will continue to incur additional liabilities. The amount of additional future costs are not fully determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company’s liability in proportion to other responsible

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Financial Table of Contents
Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties. These future costs may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognized, but the company does not expect these costs will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Chevron’s environmental reserve as of December 31, 2025, was $1,059. Included in this balance was $274 related to remediation activities at sites for which the company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the provisions of the U.S. federal Superfund law which provide for joint and several liability for all responsible parties. Any future actions by regulatory agencies to require Chevron to assume other potentially responsible parties’ costs at designated hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Of the remaining year-end 2025 environmental reserves balance of $785, $397 is related to the company’s U.S. downstream operations, $39 to its international downstream operations, and $349 to its upstream operations. Liabilities at all sites were primarily associated with the company’s plans and activities to remediate soil or groundwater contamination or both.

The company manages environmental liabilities under specific sets of regulatory requirements, which in the United States include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and various state and local regulations. No single remediation site at year-end 2025 had a recorded liability that was material to the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Refer to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for a discussion of the company’s asset retirement obligations.

Decommissioning Obligations for Previously Divested Assets Some assets are divested along with their related liabilities, such as decommissioning obligations. In certain instances, such transferred obligations have returned and may continue to return to the company. For example, in fourth quarter 2023, the company recognized charges for decommissioning obligations from certain previously divested assets in the Gulf of America. To the extent the current owners of the company’s previously divested assets default on their decommissioning obligations, regulators may require that Chevron assume such obligations. The company could have additional significant obligations revert, primarily in the United States. The company is not currently aware of any such obligations that are reasonably possible to be material. The liability balance at the end of 2024 was $2,478, $297 was spent in 2025, and the balance at the end of 2025 was $2,190.

Other Contingencies The company and its affiliates continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, retire, sell, exchange, acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. These activities, individually or together, may result in significant gains or losses in future periods.

Chevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; joint venture partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; suppliers; and individuals. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve, and may result in gains or losses in future periods.

Note 25

Asset Retirement Obligations

The company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) both as an asset and a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The legal obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional, even though uncertainty may exist about the timing and/or method of settlement that may be beyond the company’s control. This uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate fair value. The ARO liability is initially recognized at its fair value with an increase to the related asset. Subsequent accretion of the liability and depreciation of the asset is recorded over time. The company evaluates its ARO estimates regularly or when there is significant new information about costs, timing, and duration of asset retirement activity.

AROs are primarily recorded for the company’s crude oil and natural gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated with any legal obligations to retire downstream long-lived assets have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the associated ARO. The company performs periodic reviews of its downstream long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a retirement obligation.

Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is presented in “Sales and other operating revenues” along with some activity that is accounted for outside the scope of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 606, which is not material to this line, on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another (including buy/sell arrangements) are combined and recorded on a net basis and reported in “Purchased crude oil and products” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 14 Operating Segments and Geographic Data for additional information on the company’s segmentation of revenue.

Receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers are included in “Accounts and notes receivable” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The net balance of these receivables was $12,314 and $14,227 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other items included in “Accounts and notes receivable” represent amounts due from partners for their share of joint venture operating and project costs and amounts due from others, primarily related to derivatives, leases, buy/sell arrangements and product exchanges, which are accounted for outside the scope of ASC 606.

Contract assets and related costs are reflected in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and contract liabilities are reflected in “Accrued liabilities” and “Deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts for these items are not material to the company’s financial position.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

Chevron’s expected credit loss allowance balance was $392 and $611 at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, with a majority of the allowance relating to non-trade receivable balances.

The majority of the company’s receivable balance is concentrated in trade receivables, with a balance of $15,986 at December 31, 2025, which reflects the company’s diversified sources of revenues and is dispersed across the company’s broad worldwide customer base. As a result, the company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited. The company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. When the financial strength of a customer is not considered sufficient, alternative risk mitigation measures may be deployed, including requiring prepayments, letters of credit or other acceptable forms of collateral. Once credit is extended and a receivable balance exists, the company applies a quantitative calculation to current trade receivable balances that reflects credit risk predictive analysis, including probability of default and loss given default, which takes into consideration current and forward-looking market data as well as the company’s historical loss data. This statistical approach becomes the basis of the company’s expected credit loss allowance for current trade receivables with payment terms that are typically short-term in nature, with most due in less than 90 days.

Chevron’s non-trade receivable balance was $3,516 at December 31, 2025, which includes receivables from certain governments in their capacity as joint venture partners. Joint venture partner balances that are paid as per contract terms or not yet due are subject to the statistical analysis described above while past due balances are subject to additional qualitative management quarterly review. This management review includes review of reasonable and supportable repayment forecasts. Non-trade receivables also include employee and tax receivables that are deemed immaterial and low risk. Loans to equity affiliates and non-equity investees are also considered non-trade and associated allowances of $83 and zero at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, are included within “Investments and advances” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Acquisition of Hess Corporation

On July 18, 2025, the company acquired Hess Corporation (Hess), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Hess’s principal upstream operations are in the United States, Guyana and Malaysia. Hess’s operations also include an approximately 38 percent ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP (HESM), with operations primarily in the Bakken shale in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota.

The aggregate purchase price of Hess was approximately $48 billion, including 15.38 million shares of Hess common stock purchased in open market transactions in the first quarter of 2025 and 301.25 million shares of Chevron common stock issued as closing consideration in July. As part of the transaction, the company assumed debt with an aggregate outstanding principal value of $8.8 billion. The shares issued represented approximately 15 percent of the shares of Chevron common stock outstanding immediately after the transaction closed on July 18, 2025.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the

date of acquisition, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow model that incorporated assumptions for commodity prices, future production volumes, operating costs, development costs, and risk-adjusted discount rates. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the quoted market price of HESM on the acquisition date. Debt assumed in the acquisition was valued based on observable market prices for Hess’s debt. As a result of measuring the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at fair value, there was no goodwill or bargain purchase recognized.

* Reserve quantities include natural gas projected to be consumed in operations of 2,634, 2,462 and 2,655 billions of cubic feet and equivalent synthetic oil projected to be consumed in operations of 0, 0, and 27 millions of barrels as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Reserves Governance The company has adopted a comprehensive reserves and resources classification system modeled after a system developed and approved by a number of organizations, including the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the World Petroleum Congress and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The company classifies discovered recoverable hydrocarbons into six categories based on their status at the time of reporting – three deemed commercial and three potentially recoverable. Within the commercial classification are proved reserves and two categories of unproved reserves: probable and possible. The potentially recoverable categories are also referred to as contingent resources. For reserves estimates to be classified as proved, they must meet all SEC and company standards.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Net proved reserves exclude royalties and interests owned by others and reflect contractual arrangements and royalty obligations in effect at the time of the estimate.

Proved reserves are classified as either developed or undeveloped. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Proved undeveloped reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited Financial Table of Contents

Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of reserves are subject to change as additional information becomes available.

Proved reserves are estimated by company asset teams composed of earth scientists and engineers. As part of the internal control process related to reserves estimation, the company maintains a Reserves Advisory Committee (RAC) that is chaired by the Manager of Reserves and Storage, an organization that is separate from the business organizations that estimate reserves. The Manager of Reserves and Storage has more than 35 years of experience working in the oil and gas industry and holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in geoscience. His experience includes various technical and management roles in providing reserve and resource estimates in support of major capital and exploration projects, and more than 10 years of overseeing oil and gas reserves processes. He has been named a Distinguished Lecturer by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and is an active member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the SEPM Society of Sedimentary Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

All RAC members are degreed professionals, each with more than 10 years of experience in various aspects of reserves estimation relating to reservoir engineering, petroleum engineering, earth science or finance. The members are knowledgeable in SEC guidelines for proved reserves classification and receive annual training on the preparation of reserves estimates.

The RAC has the following primary responsibilities: establish the policies and processes used within the business organizations to estimate reserves; provide independent reviews and oversight of the business units’ recommended reserves estimates and changes; confirm that proved reserves are recognized in accordance with SEC guidelines; determine that reserve quantities are calculated using consistent and appropriate standards, procedures and technology; and maintain the Chevron Corporation Reserves Manual, which provides standardized procedures used corporatewide for classifying and reporting hydrocarbon reserves.

During the year, the RAC is represented in meetings with each of the company’s business organizations and regions to review and discuss reserve changes recommended by the various asset teams. Major changes are also reviewed with the company’s senior leadership team including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The company’s annual reserves activity is also reviewed with the company’s Board Audit Committee and Board of Directors. If major changes to reserves were to occur between the annual reviews, those matters would also be discussed with the Board.

RAC sub-teams also conduct in-depth reviews during the year of many of the fields that have large proved reserves quantities. These reviews include an examination of the proved reserve records and documentation of their compliance with the Chevron Corporation Reserves Manual.

The acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess) was completed on July 18, 2025. Given the timing of the acquisition, Chevron has continued to rely on legacy Hess reserves staff and processes for reviewing reserves with input and guidance from the Chevron RAC. The processes include internal reviews and an external audit. Accordingly, the company continued to retain DeGolyer and MacNaughton, an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm, to complete an audit of the legacy Hess proved reserves at December 31, 2025 (representing approximately 13 percent of Chevron’s total proved reserves). Based upon their evaluation, DeGolyer and MacNaughton issued an unqualified audit opinion, and their report is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Technologies Used in Establishing Proved Reserves Additions In 2025, additions to Chevron’s proved reserves were based on a wide range of geologic and engineering technologies. Information generated from subsurface data and geoscience and engineering analysis was used in both proprietary and commercially available analytic tools, including reservoir simulation, geologic modeling and seismic processing, to provide “reasonably certain” proved reserves estimates. These technologies have been utilized extensively by the company in the past, and the company believes that they provide a high degree of confidence in establishing reliable and consistent reserves estimates.

In 2025, revisions include an increase of 55 million BOE in Israel, primarily at the Leviathan field, based on production performance-driven reservoir model changes that resulted in a re-allocation of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves estimates. In Australia, there was an increase of 40 million BOE, largely attributable to positive reservoir performance at Jansz Io. The net decrease of 34 million BOE in the United States was primarily from the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin with a decrease of 49 million BOE mainly due to portfolio optimization, partially offset by positive revisions in the Midland and Delaware basins. In Argentina, a negative revision of 33 million BOE was primarily attributable to shale and tight portfolio optimization.

In 2025, extensions and discoveries in the United States totaled 214 million BOE, primarily attributable to planned development of new locations in shale and tight assets in the Midland and Delaware basins (136 million BOE) and in the DJ Basin (73 million BOE). In Australia, additions of 128 million BOE resulted from the sanctioning of the Gorgon Stage 3 project. In Other Americas, extensions and discoveries totaled 95 million BOE, primarily attributable to the Hammerhead project sanctioned in Guyana (52 million BOE) and to additions from shale and tight assets in Argentina (40 million BOE).

In 2025, purchases of 221 million BOE in the United States are primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hess assets in North Dakota. In Other Americas, purchases of 193 million BOE are attributable to the acquisition of Hess interests in the Stabroek block in Guyana.

The difference in 2025 extensions and discoveries of 167 million BOE, between the net quantities of proved reserves of 607 million BOE as reflected on pages 116 through 118 and net quantities of proved undeveloped reserves of 440 million BOE, is primarily due to proved extensions and discoveries that were not recognized as proved undeveloped reserves in the prior year and were recognized directly as proved developed reserves in 2025.

Transfers to proved developed reserves in 2025 include 544 million BOE in the United States, from the Midland and Delaware basins (279 million BOE), Gulf of America (153 million BOE), and DJ Basin (112 million BOE). Other significant transfers to proved developed were 170 million BOE in Kazakhstan, largely driven by the startup of the Future Growth Project at TCO. A combined 86 million BOE of transfers to proved developed were recorded in Argentina, the Partitioned Zone, Australia, Nigeria, Angola, Canada, and other international locations. These transfers are the consequence of development expenditures on completing wells and facilities.

During 2025, the company’s investments totaled approximately $7.1 billion in oil and gas producing activities, and about $0.1 billion in non-oil and gas producing activities, to advance the development of proved undeveloped reserves. The United States accounted for about $4.3 billion primarily related to various development activities in the Midland and Delaware basins, the Gulf of America and the DJ Basin. In Africa, about $1.0 billion was expended on various offshore development and natural gas projects in Nigeria and Angola. An additional $0.6 billion was spent on development activities in Australia. Development activities in other international locations were primarily responsible for about $1.2 billion of expenditures. The company’s equity affiliates investments in oil and gas producing activities to advance development of proved undeveloped reserves in 2025 was $0.5 billion primarily related to development projects for TCO in Kazakhstan.

Reserves that remain proved undeveloped for five or more years are a result of several factors that affect optimal project development and execution. These factors may include the complex nature of the development project in adverse and remote locations, physical limitations of infrastructure or plant capacities that dictate project timing, compression projects that are pending reservoir pressure declines, and contractual limitations that dictate production levels.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited Financial Table of Contents

At year-end 2025, the company held approximately 396 million BOE of proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for five years or more. The majority of these reserves are in locations where the company has a proven track record of developing major projects. In Australia, approximately 205 million BOE remain undeveloped for five years or more related to the Gorgon and Wheatstone Projects. Further field development to convert the remaining proved undeveloped reserves is scheduled to occur in line with operating constraints, reservoir depletion and infrastructure optimization. In Africa, approximately 137 million BOE have remained undeveloped for five years or more, due to facility constraints at various fields and infrastructure associated with the Escravos gas projects in Nigeria.

Annually, the company assesses whether any changes have occurred in facts or circumstances, such as changes to development plans, regulations, or government policies, that would warrant a revision to reserve estimates. In 2025, the positive impacts of higher natural gas prices in North America and of lower oil prices in production sharing contracts more than offset the negative impact of lower oil prices in tax and royalty assets, resulting in a proved reserve increase of approximately 57 million BOE. The year-end reserves quantities have been updated for these circumstances and significant changes are discussed in the appropriate reserves sections herein. Over the past three years, the ratio of proved undeveloped reserves to total proved reserves has ranged between 27 percent and 31 percent.

Proved Reserve Quantities For the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, the pattern of net reserve changes shown in the following tables is not necessarily indicative of future trends. Apart from acquisitions, the company’s ability to add proved reserves can be affected by events and circumstances that are outside the company’s control, such as delays in government permitting, partner approvals of development plans, changes in oil and gas prices, OPEC constraints, geopolitical uncertainties, civil unrest, events of war or military conflicts.

At December 31, 2025, proved reserves for the company were 10.6 billion BOE. The company’s estimated net proved reserves of liquids, including crude oil, condensate and synthetic oil for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, are shown in the table on page 116. The company’s estimated net proved reserves of natural gas liquids (NGLs) are shown on page 117, and the company’s estimated net proved reserves of natural gas are shown on page 118.

Noteworthy changes in crude oil, condensate and synthetic oil proved reserves for 2023 through 2025 are discussed below and shown in the table on the following page:

Revisions In 2023, the 257 million barrels decrease in United States was primarily in the Midland and Delaware basins and California. Reservoir performance led to the decrease of 101 million barrels, and portfolio optimization led to a decrease of 59 million barrels in the Midland and Delaware basins. A reduction in planned development activities led to a decrease of 58 million barrels in California. In Other Americas, entitlement effects primarily contributed to an increase of 42 million barrels of synthetic oil at the Athabasca Oil Sands project in Canada. In Asia, reservoir performance, mainly in the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait (the Partitioned Zone), was responsible for the 48 million barrels increase. Reservoir performance in Nigeria was mainly responsible for the 37 million barrels increase in Africa.

In 2024, the 37 million barrels increase in Asia was due to reservoir performance, primarily in the Partitioned Zone.

In 2025, the 46 million barrels increase in Asia was due to reservoir performance, primarily in the Partitioned Zone.

Extensions and Discoveries In 2023, extensions and discoveries of 124 million barrels in the Midland and Delaware basins were primarily responsible for the 170 million barrels increase in the United States. In Other Americas, the 55 million barrels of extensions and discoveries increase was mainly from shale and tight assets in Argentina.

In 2024, extensions and discoveries of 119 million barrels in the Midland and Delaware basins, and 45 million barrels in the DJ Basin, were primarily responsible for the 185 million barrels increase in the United States. In Other Americas, the 52 million barrels of extensions and discoveries increase was mainly from shale and tight assets in Argentina.

In 2025, extensions and discoveries of 121 million barrels in the Midland and Delaware basins were primarily responsible for the 148 million barrels increase in the United States. In Other Americas, the 89 million barrels of extensions and discoveries increase was primarily from the sanctioning of the Hammerhead project in Guyana (50 million barrels) and shale and tight assets in Argentina (35 million barrels).

Purchases In 2023, the acquisition of PDC in the DJ and Delaware basins was primarily responsible for the 207 million barrels increase in the United States.

In 2024, the renewal of the Agbami field deepwater license in Nigeria increased reserves by 51 million barrels.

In 2025, the acquisition of Hess interests in the Stabroek block in Guyana was responsible for the 473 million barrels in Other Americas. The acquisition of Hess assets in North Dakota (362 million barrels) and the Gulf of America (29 million barrels) was mainly responsible for the 392 million barrels in the United States.

Sales In 2024, sales of 593 million barrels in synthetic oil were from the Athabasca oil sand assets in Canada and the 46 million barrels in Other Americas were from the divestment of shale and tight assets in Canada.

In 2025, sales of 35 million barrels in Africa were from the divestment of assets in the Republic of Congo.

Noteworthy changes in natural gas proved reserves for 2023 through 2025 are discussed below and shown in the table on the following page:

Revisions In 2023, portfolio optimization decrease of 276 BCF and a reservoir performance decrease of 186 BCF in the Midland and Delaware basins along with a reduction in planned development activities leading to a decrease of 485 BCF in the Haynesville shale formation of East Texas, were mainly responsible for the 1.2 TCF decrease in the United States. In Asia, final investment decision on a new gas pipeline project in Israel and reservoir performance in Bangladesh were mainly responsible for the 481 BCF increase.

In 2024, a decrease of 425 BCF in the DJ Basin, primarily related to reservoir performance, was mainly responsible for the 572 BCF decrease in the United States. The 504 BCF increase in Australia was mainly due to reservoir performance of the Jansz Io field.

In 2025, an increase of 497 BCF in Australia was mainly attributable to reservoir performance of the Gorgon and Jansz Io fields. In Asia, the 479 BCF increase was primarily driven by reservoir performance in Bangladesh (285 BCF), and Thailand (112 BCF). The 227 BCF increase in the United States was primarily attributable to portfolio optimization in the Midland and Delaware basins.

Extensions and Discoveries In 2023, extensions and discoveries of 660 BCF in the United States were primarily in the Midland and Delaware basins.

In 2024, extensions and discoveries of 912 BCF in the United States were primarily in the DJ Basin (476 BCF), and the Midland and Delaware basins (432 BCF).

In 2025, extensions and discoveries of 734 BCF in the United States were mainly in the Midland and Delaware basins (532 BCF), and the DJ Basin (199 BCF). The 715 BCF in Australia was primarily driven by the sanctioning of the Gorgon Stage 3 project.

Purchases In 2023, the acquisition of PDC in the DJ Basin was primarily responsible for the 2.2 TCF in the United States.

In 2024, the 177 BCF in the United States was primarily associated with the acquisition of PDC in the DJ Basin.

In 2025, the 1.1 TCF in the United States was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hess assets in North Dakota. The acquisition of Hess interests in the Stabroek block in Guyana was the primary driver for the 213 BCF in Other Americas. The 210 BCF in Asia was primarily from the acquisition of Hess assets in Malaysia.

Sales In 2024, sales of 260 BCF in Other Americas were from the divestment of shale and tight assets in Canada.

Table VI - Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Related to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is calculated in accordance with SEC and FASB requirements. This includes using the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month oil and gas prices for the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, estimated future development and production costs assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions, estimated costs for asset retirement obligations (includes costs to retire existing wells and facilities in addition to those future wells and facilities necessary to produce proved undeveloped reserves), and estimated future income taxes based on appropriate statutory tax rates. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10 percent mid-period discount factors. Estimates of proved reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. Probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The valuation requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs, which could change over time as new information becomes available. The calculations are made as of December 31 each year and do not represent management’s estimate of the company’s future cash flows or value of its oil and gas reserves. In the following table, the caption “Standardized Measure Net Cash Flows” refers to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.

To the extent required by Section 303A.05 of the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements (the “NYSE Rules”), all members of the Committee shall be Independent Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee is not composed exclusively of Independent Directors, then to the extent required by the NYSE Rules, Awards under the Plan with respect to executive officers shall be administered either by a subcommittee consisting of all Committee members who qualify as Independent Directors, or by a different committee appointed by the Board in accordance with the NYSE Rules.

(2)The Board shall appoint one (1) of the members of the Committee as chair.

(b)Actions by the Committee. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine.

(c)Powers of the Committee.

(1)The Committee shall have the authority to administer the Plan in its sole discretion. The Committee’s authority includes the rights to:

(E)Determine other terms and conditions of Awards;

(F)Adopt procedures for the disposition of Awards in the event of a Participant’s divorce or dissolution of marriage; and

(G)Make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

(2)Notwithstanding Section IV.(c)(1) of the Plan:

(A)No provision in the Plan referencing the Committee’s discretion shall be construed as granting the Committee the authority to exercise discretion in a manner that is inconsistent with the Plan;

(B)Adoption of Rules by the Committee is an exercise of the Committee’s discretion. Once adopted, the Committee may not exercise additional discretion that is inconsistent with the Rules without amending the Rules; and

(3)Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate the Corporation’s Executive Committee to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, the Committee may not delegate its authority with regard to the selection for participation of or the grant of Awards to persons in salary classification PSG 41 or above (or at a level determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be the equivalent under a successor salary classification system). The Executive Committee may further delegate this function as it deems appropriate. The Committee may also designate the Corporation’s Vice President, Human Resources, to perform the day-to-day administrative tasks as may be necessary for the Committee’s administration of the Plans. Any determination, decision or action of the Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration, or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons participating in the Plan and any person validly claiming under or through persons participating in the Plan.

(d)Liability of Committee Members. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Board or the Committee with respect to the Plan or any Award under it.

(e)Administration of the Plan Following a Change in Control. Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee shall appoint an independent organization which shall thereafter administer the Plan and have all of the powers and duties formerly held and exercised by the Committee with respect to the Plan as provided in Section IV.(c). Upon such appointment, the Committee shall cease to have any responsibility with respect to the administration of the Plan.

SECTION V.    AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN.

(a)Discretion to Grant Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, may approve an Award under the Plan to any Eligible Employee for the Performance Year in any amount.

(b)Awards Payable After Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section V.(a), the following shall apply with respect to Awards for the Performance Year in which a Change in Control occurs (and for the prior Performance Year to the extent such Awards have not been granted prior to the Change in Control):

(1)Eligible employees as defined in an applicable Corporation change in control plan shall be entitled to receive an Award for such Performance Year(s) in an amount that is not less than that Eligible Employee’s target Award, as may be established from time-to-time by the Committee; provided that such Eligible Employee:

(A)Received an Award for the Performance Year for which the Award had been paid prior to the Change in Control;

(B)Would have received such an Award but for his or her performance; and

(C)Is an otherwise similarly situated Eligible Employee, who shall be determined by the independent organization appointed by the Committee pursuant to Section IV.(e) on the basis of the Committee’s practices in the Performance Year for which the Committee last determined Awards.

(i)Such Awards shall be prorated for the portion of the year the employee is an Eligible Employee during the Performance Year.

(ii)Eligible Employees above PSG 43 shall be entitled to receive an Award, if any, for such Performance Year(s) as determined by the independent organization appointed by the Committee pursuant to Section IV.(e).

(2)All such Awards shall be vested upon grant.

(c)Effect of Mandatory Wage Controls. Notwithstanding anything in this Section V. to the contrary, the Committee may cancel the payment of all or any part of an Award under the Plan if the Committee determines that the payment of such Award or part thereof would violate any mandatory wage controls in effect at the time payment would otherwise be made.

SECTION VI.    PAYMENT OF AWARDS.

(a)Non-Deferred Awards. Non-deferred Awards shall be paid in the form of a cash lump sum in the Payroll for which payment is scheduled by the Corporation, which in no event shall be later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the later of the end of the calendar year or the Performance Year in which the Committee makes the Award.

(b)Deferral of Awards. Deferral of Awards shall be determined under the terms of the Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Chevron Employees II (or any successor plan), its Rules, and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION VII.    ASSIGNABILITY.

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, or a domestic relations order enforceable under applicable law, a Participant’s Award or the interest, if any, of a Participant’s beneficiary may not be assigned, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including, but without limitation, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process and any act in violation hereof shall be void.

SECTION VIII. FORFEITURE FOR MISCONDUCT.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant engages in Misconduct, the Committee (or its delegate) may determine that:

(a)The Participant shall not receive any outstanding or future Awards pursuant to the Plan;

(b)The Corporation may demand repayment of any Award received after June 29, 2005 with respect to a period after the date of the Participant’s Misconduct; provided that, following a

Change in Control, this Section VIII. shall apply only in the event of Misconduct as defined in Section III. (o)(1) and (2) of the Plan; and

(c)Any provision of this Section VIII. which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Section VIII.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Award granted to a Covered Executive, as that term is defined by the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, shall be and remain subject to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy or any successor incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.

SECTION IX.    AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN OR AWARDS.

The Board may, at any time, alter, amend or terminate the Plan, provided:

(a)Subject to Sections V.(c), no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan nor any amendment, cancellation or modification of any Award outstanding under it that would adversely affect the right of any Participant in an Award or grant previously made under the Plan shall be effective without the written consent of the affected Participant except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including compliance with any provision of law concerning favorable taxation); and

(b)No amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan (including any amendment to this Section IX.) approved by the Board during the Benefit Protection Period under Change in Control shall be valid or effective if such amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation would alter the provisions of Section IV.(e), Section V(b), or this Section IX. or adversely affect an Award outstanding under the Plan without the written consent of the affected Participant; provided, however, any amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation may be effected, even if so approved after the public announcement of the proposed transaction which effected, would have constituted a Change in Control, if:

(1)The alteration, amendment or termination is approved after any plans have been abandoned to effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred; and

(2)Within a period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred

The Committee is authorized in its sole discretion to establish a grantor trust for the purpose of providing security for the payment of Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that no Participant shall be considered to have a beneficial ownership interest (or any other sort of interest) in any specific asset of the Corporation or of its subsidiaries or affiliates as a result of the creation of such trust or the transfer of funds or other property to such trust.

(c)Awards in Foreign Countries.

SUMMARY OF CHEVRON INCENTIVE PLAN AWARD CRITERIA

The Chevron Incentive Plan (“CIP”) is designed to recognize annual performance achievement. Annual operating and financial results weigh significantly into this assessment, along with demonstrated progress on key business initiatives. Individual leadership is also recognized through this award. The award is delivered as an annual cash bonus based on a percentage of each participant’s base salary. Participants include Chevron’s named executive officers (“NEOs”). The CIP award for years beginning January 1, 2026, is calculated as follows:

Corporate Performance Rating X Individual Bonus Component

The Management Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has capped the CIP award at 200 percent of target for Executive Officers.

Corporate Performance Rating: After the end of the performance year, the Committee sets the Corporate Performance Rating. This rating reflects the Committee’s overall assessment of Chevron’s performance for that year, based on a range of measures used to evaluate performance against business plan (“Plan”) in four broad categories, which are weighted: financial results (35%); capital and cost management (30%); operating and safety performance (25%); and lower carbon (10%). When determining the Corporate Performance Rating, the Committee may apply discretion when assessing Chevron’s absolute performance against Plan and Chevron’s performance relative to competitors. The minimum Corporate Performance Rating is zero (i.e., no award) and the maximum is two (i.e., 200%).

Individual Bonus Component (“IBC”): The IBC is determined by the Committee and described further below:

•    Before the beginning of each performance year, for each NEO, the Committee establishes a target as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary, which is set with reference to target opportunities found across Chevron’s Oil Industry Peer Group. The Committee then establishes a bonus range around that target for each NEO, which generally is set as 75 to 125 percent of the target.

•    At the end of the performance year, the Committee determines the IBC for each NEO by selecting a point within such NEO’s bonus range based on an assessment of individual performance. In making this assessment, the Committee uses its judgment in analyzing the individual performance of each NEO, including personal effort and initiative, business unit performance and the individual’s leadership impact on the enterprise. Under extraordinary circumstances, the IBC may be adjusted upward or downward, including to zero, for a particular performance year for any CIP participant at the sole discretion of the Committee.

Chevron’s chief executive officer makes recommendations to the Committee as to the target and IBC for each of our other NEOs. The Committee makes a recommendation to the independent Directors of the Board as to the target and IBC for Chevron’s chief executive officer.

Additional information concerning the CIP, the annual CIP awards for each of Chevron’s NEOs and our Oil Industry Peer Group can be found in Chevron’s annual Proxy Statement.

CHEVRON CORPORATION DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES II

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2026)

SECTION I.    ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

(a)The Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II (“Plan”) is effective January 1, 2005 and is the successor plan to the Corporation’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (formerly the Salary Deferral Plan for Management Employees) (the “Prior Plan”). Effective December 31, 2004, the Prior Plan was frozen and no new contributions shall be made to it; provided, however, that any deferrals of compensation under the Prior Plan that were earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005 shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004 or on the date of any later amendment, provided that such amendment is not a material modification of the Prior Plan under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. However, any deferrals of compensation that had been made under the Prior Plan that were not earned and vested prior to December 31, 2004 shall be deemed to have been made under this Plan instead and all such deferrals are governed by its terms and conditions as they may be amended from time to time.

(b)The Plan is designed to enhance the ability of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to attract, motivate, and retain executive and other key employees. It is intended to qualify as an unfunded ERISA pension plan maintained by an employer for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as described in 26 C.F.R. § 2520.104-23(d) and to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(c)The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2009 for all Plan deferrals and distributions made after December 31, 2008. The Plan was amended again and restated effective October 2, 2023 to incorporate the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and further amended and restated effective January 1, 2026, to update the choice of law provision from California to Texas.

(1)Determine that any balance in the Participant’s Account attributable to awards made under the Long-Term Incentive Plan or the Chevron Incentive Plan on or after June 29, 2005 and the date of the Participant’s Misconduct shall be forfeited; and

(2)Demand repayment of any distributed deferral attributable to an award made under the Long-Term Incentive Plan or the Chevron Incentive Plan on or after June 29, 2005 and the date of the Participant’s Misconduct;

Provided that, following a Change in Control, this Section VII shall apply only in the event of Misconduct as defined in Section II.(t)(1) and (2) of the Plan.

(b)Any provision of this Section VII. which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Section VII.

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any distributed deferral or balance in an Account of a Covered Executive, as that term is defined by the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, shall be and remain subject to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy or any successor incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.

SECTION VIII.    AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

(a)Right to Alter, Amend, or Terminate the Plan. The Board may, at any time alter, amend, or terminate the Plan, provided:

(1)Unless the Board specifically otherwise provides, any revision or amendment that would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other requirement of applicable law or regulation if such amendment were not approved by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall not be effective unless and until the approval of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation is obtained.

(2)Other than as described in Section VIII.(d), such amendment does not provide for an acceleration of distribution upon a termination of the Plan after a Change in Control by Successors or Assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code (or the regulations thereunder), the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the time or form of payment of a Participant’s Account, but only to the extent of the amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure.

(3)No amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan (including any amendment to this Section VIII.) approved by the Board after six months prior to the public announcement of the proposed transaction which, when effected, is a Change in Control or before the date which is two years after the date of a Change in Control (the “Benefit Protection Period”) shall be valid or effective if such amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation would alter the provisions of this Section VIII. or adversely affect the amount of an outstanding

deferral under the Plan; provided, however, any amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation may be effective, even if so approved after such a public announcement, if:

(A)The amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation is approved after any plans have been abandoned to effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred; and

(B)Within a period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred.

Any amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan which is approved by the Board prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who effectuates a Change in Control shall be deemed to be an amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan so approved during the Benefit Protection Period.

(b)Rights of Participant. Notwithstanding Section VIII.(a), no amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan that would adversely affect the right of any Participant regarding a then-existing deferral shall be effective without the written consent of the affected Participant except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including compliance with any provision of law concerning favorable taxation).

(c)Effect on Other Plans. If the Plan is terminated and the Accounts distributed, the Board and/or Corporation shall terminate all other plans aggregated with it as one of the same type within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and shall not adopt a new non-qualified deferred compensation plan of such type for at least three (3) years after the termination date of the last of such plans.

(d)Corporation Dissolution or Bankruptcy. The Plan shall automatically terminate upon a dissolution of the Corporation that is taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1(A), provided all Accounts are distributed and included in the gross income of the Participants by the latter of:

(1)The Plan Year in which the Plan terminates; or

(2)The first Plan Year in which payment of the Accounts is administratively

practicable.

SECTION IX. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)Participant’s Rights Unsecured. A Participant’s Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and no Participant shall have any interest in or claim against any specific asset of the Corporation. It is an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Corporation and an unsecured claim against its general assets. A Participant shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Corporation.

(b)Authority to Establish a Grantor Trust. The Committee is authorized in its sole discretion to establish a grantor trust for the purpose of providing security for the payment of

benefits under the Plan, provided, however, that no Participant shall be considered to have a beneficial ownership interest (or any other sort of interest) in any specific asset of the Corporation or of its subsidiaries or affiliates as a result of the creation of such trust or the transfer of funds or other property to such trust.

(c)Other Benefit Plans. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a Participant’s deferral elections made pursuant to this Plan shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Participant’s benefits under any other benefit plan or program established or maintained by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

(d)Participant’s Beneficiary. The Rules may provide that the Participant may designate a beneficiary with respect to such Award in the event of death of a Participant.

(e)Costs of the Plan. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.

(f)Binding Effect of Plan. The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Corporation, its Successors or Assigns and the Corporation shall require any Successor or Assign to expressly assume and agree to perform the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such Succession or Assignment had taken place.

(g)No Waiver of Breach.

CHEVRON CORPORATION RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated effective January 1, 2026)

SECTION I.    INTRODUCTION.

(a)The Chevron Corporation Retirement Restoration Plan (the “RRP”) was established effective July 1, 2002 to provide additional retirement benefits due to the limitations of sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code, and to deferred compensation not counting as benefits bearing compensation under the qualified Chevron Retirement Plan. The RRP was formed from a spin-out on July 1, 2002 of the defined benefit portion of the liabilities of the Chevron Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (the “Excess Plan”) which had been originally established effective January 1, 1976. On December 10, 2003, the defined benefit portions of the liabilities of the then active former Texaco and Caltex employees participating in the Supplemental Pension Plan of Texaco Inc. and the Excess-Benefit Plan for Employees of ChevronTexaco Global Energy Inc. were also transferred to the RRP.

(b)The Chevron Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SRP”) was established effective July 1, 2002 to provide additional retirement benefits due to certain awards under the Management Incentive Plan of the Corporation, and on December 10, 2003 was expanded to include additional retirement benefits due to similar executive bonus program awards for former Texaco and Caltex employees. The SRP was formed from a spin-out on July 1, 2002 of the bonus portion of the liabilities of the Excess Plan, and from the later December 10, 2003 spin-out of the liabilities of the then active former Texaco and Caltex employees participating in the Supplemental Bonus Retirement Plan of Texaco Inc. and the Pension Supplementation Plan of ChevronTexaco Global Energy Inc. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the SRP was merged into this RRP. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006 are described in Appendix D.

(c)On August 10, 2005 the Corporation acquired Unocal Corporation (“Unocal”) and later became the sponsor of Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan A1, Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan B1 and Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan C1 (the “Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans”). The Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans covered eligible employees who were active employees of Unocal or its affiliates on or after January 1, 2005, and provided additional retirement benefits that were not provided under the qualified Unocal Retirement Plan due to the limitations of sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code, to deferred compensation not counting as benefits bearing compensation, and to the calculation of retirement benefits using the high three annual Unocal incentive pay awards, whether or not consecutive. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans were merged into this RRP. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006 are described in the Unocal Nonqualified

Retirement Plans as in effect as of the time such employees incurred a Separation from Service (as amended to comply with section 409A of the Code).

(a)Effective January 1, 2009, the RRP was amended and restated in order to comply with the Internal Revenue Services final regulations under section 409A of the Code as described in Appendix A and make certain other changes. Effective January 1, 2017 the RRP was amended to replace the definition of Beneficiary and, effective June 1, 2017, to cease accepting domestic relations orders. Effective October 2, 2023, the RRP was further amended and restated to incorporate reference to the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy. Effective August 1, 2024, the RRP was amended and restated to include a claims procedure in accordance with ERISA Section 502 and to update the beneficiary hierarchy list to match that in the qualified plans. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service between January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 are described in Appendix B. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service on or after July 1, 2006 and prior to January 1, 2009 are described in Appendix C.

(b)On July 18, 2025, the Corporation acquired Hess Corporation (“Hess”), the sponsor of the Hess Corporation Pension Restoration Plan (“Hess Restoration Plan”). Effective January 1, 2026, participants in the Cash Accumulation Plan (“CAP”) component of the Hess Restoration Plan (“Former CAP Participants”) will cease accruing future benefits under the Hess Restoration Plan and will be eligible to begin accruing benefits under the RRP. Certain provisions relating to the benefits to be accrued by such participants are described in Appendix E. Notwithstanding any provisions in the RRP or to the contrary, in no event shall a Former CAP Participant be entitled to a benefit under the RRP for the same period for which the Former CAP Participant earns a benefit under the CAP. Effective January 1, 2026, the RRP is further amended to update the choice of law provision from California to Texas.

(b)Gulf Retirement Bonus. A Participant who was eligible to receive a Gulf Retirement Bonus under the Supplemental Pension Plan of Gulf Oil Corporation shall be entitled to receive such benefit under the RRP as an additional part of his or her Restoration Benefit.

(d)Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion, if any, of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit, commencing on the Participant’s Benefit Calculation Date. Interest shall be credited and compounded daily such that the interest rate for the Quarter will be equal to the average market yield for the preceding Quarter on constant maturity U.S. Government 10-year bonds.

SECTION V. DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS.

Except as otherwise provided in an applicable appendix, Restoration Benefits shall be distributed in cash in accordance with this Section V. Distributions shall only be made after a Participant incurs a Separation from Service. Refer to the appendices of this RRP for the rules that apply to Participants who were participants in the RRP and/or the SRP and who incurred a Separation from Service prior to January 1, 2009. Refer to the Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans (as amended to comply with section 409A of the Code) for the rules that apply to Participants who were eligible for such plans and who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006.

(a)Default Distribution Form. Unless the Participant had made a valid election with the Committee as described in this Section V., or except as provided in Section VI.(b), the Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum in the first Quarter that is at least 12 months after the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.

(b)Distribution Election.

A Participant is permitted to make an initial election regarding the timing and form of distribution of his or her Restoration Benefit as follows:

(1)Election Procedure. A Participant may elect his or her time and form of distribution no later than the later of December 31, 2006 or the Initial Election Due Date. Such an election shall be made by filing the prescribed form with the Committee.

(2)Time and Form of Distribution.

A Participant may make a timely election to receive his or her Restoration Benefit only in the following forms and times:

(A)In a lump sum payable in the first Quarter or first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service; or

(B)In ten (10) or fewer annual installments, payable or commencing in the first Quarter or in the first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service. All installments after the first shall be paid in January.

(c)     Determination of Installment Payment Amount. The amount of any installment payment shall be determined by dividing the unpaid balance of the Participant’s Plan Benefit, including credited interest, as of the beginning of the Quarter that includes the distribution date, by the number of annual payments remaining to be made.

(d)    Change of Distribution Time and Form. The time and form of distribution (as determined pursuant to Section V.(a) or (b)) may be changed in accordance with the requirements of this Section V.(d) and such additional procedures as may be prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion subject to the following requirements:

(1)    Such an election shall only be valid if it is made twelve (12) months prior to the original payment date and postpones the commencement of such payment(s) to at least five (5) years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. The new election can be a lump sum or ten or fewer installments payable or commencing in the first Quarter or the first January that is five or more whole years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. All installment payments shall be made in cash and, after the first such installment, shall be paid in January; and

(2)    For purposes of this RRP, “payment date” means the date a lump sum is payable or the date the first of a series of installments is payable. Installment payments shall be considered to be one payment.

(e)    Acceleration of Payments. Except with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency; a Participant may not elect to accelerate an irrevocable distribution of any portion of his or her Restoration Benefit prior to the date it would otherwise be distributed; provided that an election change permitted under Section V.(d) shall not be considered to be an accelerated distribution solely because such change results in a change to the time and/or form of distribution.

(f)    Unforeseeable Emergency.

(1)        A Participant may request distribution of such portion of his or her Account to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy an Unforeseeable Emergency (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).

(2)    Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency will take into account any additional compensation that is available to the Participant to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency with the exception of benefits:

(A)Under a pension plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code (including any amount available as a plan loan); or

(B)Available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of section 409A of the Code (or would be such a nonqualified deferred compensation plan if it was not grandfathered under the effective date provisions of section 409A of the Code).

(g)     Mandatory Cashout Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section V., if a Participant’s Restoration Benefit is less than $50,000 on the first business day of the first Quarter that is at least 12 months following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, such Restoration Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum in such Quarter.

SECTION VI. DEATH BENEFITS.

(a)Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate, in the manner and on the form prescribed by the Committee, one or more Beneficiaries to receive payment of any Restoration Benefit that is undistributed at the time of the Participant’s death. A Participant may change such designation at any time by filing the prescribed form in the manner established by the Committee. No Beneficiary designation shall be effective until it is filed in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. If a Beneficiary has not been designated or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, distribution will be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse as Beneficiary if such spouse is then living or, if none or not living, in equal shares to the then living children of the Participant as Beneficiaries or, if none, in equal shares to the then living parents of the Participant as Beneficiaries, or, if none, in equal shares to the then living siblings of the Participant as Beneficiaries or, if none, to the Participant’s estate as Beneficiary.

(b)Time and Form of Death Benefit. If a Participant who has made a valid election as to the form and time of the payment of his or her Restoration Benefit dies, then the Beneficiary shall receive the payment(s) on the date(s) elected by the Participant and at the same time and in the same form as the Participant would have received such payment(s), except that the Beneficiary may request a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency as described in Section V.(f). If such a Participant has not made a valid election as to the time and form of his distribution, then payment shall be made in a lump sum on the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s death.

SECTION VII. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)Forfeitures. Restoration Benefits shall vest in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding such vesting, however, if the Participant engages in Misconduct, the Committee may determine that any unpaid Restoration Benefits shall be forfeited and/or that any previously paid Restoration Benefits shall be repaid to the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Restoration Benefits of a Covered Executive, as that term is defined by the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, shall be and remain subject to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy or any successor incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted

by the Board and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.

(b)Funding. The RRP shall be unfunded, and all Restoration Benefits shall be paid only from the general assets of the Corporation.

(c)Tax Withholding. All distributions shall be net of any applicable payroll deductions including, but not limited to, any federal, state or local tax withholding. In addition, any withholding amount required under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act with respect to a Participant’s Restoration Benefit prior to the date a distribution is made from the RRP, if any, and the additional income taxes attributable to such withholding, shall be debited from the Participant’s Restoration Benefit.

(d)No Employment Rights. Nothing in the RRP shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain in the employ of any member of the Corporation nor affect the right of the Corporation to terminate any individual’s employment at any time and for any reason, which right is hereby reserved.

(e)No Assignment of Property Rights. Except as may be required by applicable law, or as is described below relating to domestic relations orders, no Restoration Benefit or property interest in this RRP may be assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, anticipated or subject to attachment, bankruptcy, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process. Any act in violation of this Section VII.(e) shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to all or any portion of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit hereunder pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code) that is valid under applicable state law and not preempted by ERISA shall not constitute a violation of this Section VII.(e). Effective June 1, 2017, the Corporation shall no longer accept domestic relations orders under the RRP.

(f)Administration. The RRP shall be administered by the Committee. No member of the Committee shall become a Participant in the RRP. The Committee shall make such rules, interpretations and computations as it may deem appropriate. The Committee shall have sole discretion to interpret the terms of the RRP, make any factual findings, and make any decision with respect to the RRP, including (without limitation) any determination of eligibility to participate in the RRP, eligibility for a Restoration Benefit, and the amount of such Restoration Benefit. The Committee’s determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate other persons to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

(g)Amendment and Termination. The Corporation expects to continue the RRP indefinitely. Future conditions, however, cannot be foreseen. Subject to Section VIII., the Corporation shall have the authority to amend or to terminate the RRP at any time and for any reason, by action of its board of directors or by action of a committee or individual(s) acting pursuant to a valid delegation of authority. In the event of an amendment or termination of the RRP, a Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall not be less than the Restoration Benefit to which

the Participant would have been entitled if he or she had incurred a Separation from Service immediately prior to such amendment or termination, except to the extent:

(1)The RRP was amended or terminated to comply with changes in the Code;

(2)Some or all of the amount calculated under the RRP’s terms that existed immediately prior to such amendment or termination is subsequently provided from another plan.

(h)Effect of Reemployment.

(1)If any Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service is reemployed, such Participant shall receive any amounts attributable to his or her previous employment according to his or her existing distribution schedule under the Prior Period Plan.

(2)When any reemployed Participant subsequently incurs a Separation from Service, the Participant’s Restoration Benefit payable upon the subsequent Separation from Service will be the greater of the “A+B Calculation” and the “C Calculation”.

The “A+B Calculation” is the sum of the “A Calculation” and the “B

Calculation”.

The “A Calculation” is the difference (but not less than zero) between (i)

the Participant’s Prior Period Plan benefit calculated according to the provisions of the Prior Period Plan based only on the Participant’s service and earnings during the prior period(s) of employment, and (ii) the present value of all payments previously made or scheduled to be made in the future under the Prior Period Plan.

The “B Calculation” is the Participant’s Restoration Benefit calculated according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) based only on the Participant’s service and earnings during the latest period of employment.

The “C Calculation” is the difference between (i) and (ii), where (i) is the Participant’s Restoration Benefit (before offset for the Retirement Plan benefit) calculated according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) based on the Participant’s service and earnings during all periods of employment, and (ii) is the sum of the present value of all payments previously made (or scheduled to be made in the future) under the Retirement Plan and the Prior Period Plan (if any) with respect to prior period(s) of employment, and the present value of the benefit to be paid under the Retirement Plan with respect to both the prior period of employment (to the extent not previously made or scheduled to be made in the future) and the current period of employment. For the purposes of the “C Calculation”, the benefit calculation according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) will use the Retirement Plan formula in effect for the Participant at the time of his or her latest Separation from Service.

(3)Present values shall be determined using the interest rates and other actuarial factors in effect under the Retirement Plan as of the date this calculation is made.

(i)Excess Plan/Top-Hat Plan Status. To the extent that the RRP provides a benefit in excess of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by section 415 of the Code, the

RRP is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA, that is an unfunded deferred compensation program. Otherwise, the RRP is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation program that is maintained “for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” as set forth in Title I of ERISA. The RRP shall be implemented, administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention.

(j)Successors and Assigns. The RRP shall be binding upon the Corporation, its Successors and Assigns. Notwithstanding that the RRP may be binding upon a Successor or Assign by operation of law, the Corporation shall also require any Successor or Assign to expressly assume and agree to be bound by the RRP in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be if no succession or assignment had taken place.

(k)409A Compliance. This RRP is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a failure to comply with section 409A of the Code (or the regulations thereunder), the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the time or form of payment of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit, but only to the extent of the amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure.

(l)Choice of Law. The RRP shall be administered, construed and governed in accordance with ERISA, the Code, and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, by the laws of the State of Texas, unless, solely for any claim arising in California, California Labor Code Section 925(a) applies to require California law instead, but without regard to its conflict of law rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, domestic relations orders and the Section II.(q) definition of Misconduct shall be subject to the jurisdiction’s law that would otherwise be applicable, but without regard to that particular jurisdiction’s conflict of laws rules.

SECTION VIII. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the RRP to the contrary, the provisions of this Section VIII. shall apply during the Benefit Protection Period.

(a)Restrictions on Amendments During Benefit Protection Period. Notwithstanding Section VII.(g) of the RRP, except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, no amendment of the RRP (other than an amendment to reduce or discontinue future accruals under the RRP after the end of the Benefit Protection Period) that is executed or first becomes effective during the Benefit Protection Period shall:

(1)Deprive any individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of coverage under the RRP as constituted at the time of such amendment;

(2)Deprive any individual who is a Beneficiary with respect to an individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of any benefit to which he or she is entitled on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or may become entitled during the Benefit Protection Period;

(3)Reduce the amount of benefits provided under the RRP below the benefits provided under the RRP on the day prior to the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date;

(4)Amend Sections II.(c), II.(d), II.(f), VII.(g), or VIII.; or

(5)Terminate the RRP.

(b)Exception to Section VIII.(a). Section VIII.(a) shall not apply to the extent that

(i) the amendment or termination of the RRP is approved after any plans have been abandoned to

effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred, and (ii) within a period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred. For purposes of this Section VIII., approval shall mean written approval (by a person or entity within the Corporation having the authority to do so) of such amendment or termination.

(c)Restrictions on Certain Actions Prior to or Following, a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the RRP and except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, (i) any amendment or termination of the RRP which is executed or would otherwise become effective prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who effectuates a Change in Control shall not be an effective amendment or termination of the RRP during the Benefit Protection Period; and (ii) the RRP shall not be amended at any time if to do so would adversely affect the rights derived under the RRP from this Section VIII. Of any individual who is a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period or a Beneficiary with respect to a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period. Furthermore, following a Change in Control, no person shall take any action that would directly or indirectly have the same effect as any of the prohibited amendments listed in Section VIII.(a).

(d)Effect on other Benefits. In calculating a Participant’s Restoration Benefit under Section IV., it shall be assumed that the Retirement Plan formulae and actuarial assumptions in effect on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date had continued in effect through the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.

(e)Distribution of Restoration Benefits. In the event of a Change of Control, each Participant’s Restoration Benefits shall be distributed in accordance with Section V.

(f)Establishment of a Trust. Notwithstanding anything contained in the RRP to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit the Corporation from establishing a trust or other arrangement for the purpose of providing for the payment of the benefits payable under the RRP.

(g)No Forfeitures. During the Benefit Protection Period, a Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall not be subject to forfeiture under any circumstances.

(h)Miscellaneous.

(1)The provisions of the RRP shall be deemed severable and the validity or enforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

(2)The Corporation’s obligation to make the payments and provide the benefits provided for in the RRP and otherwise to perform its obligation hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Corporation may have against the Participant or others.

(3)No provision of the RRP may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Participant and the Corporation. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this RRP to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

SECTION IX. GRANDFATHERED PROVISIONS.

Notwithstanding any provision of the main text of this RRP, any provision in an Appendix shall supersede any contrary provision herein unless the Appendix specifically states to the contrary.

SECTION X. CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES.

(a)Inquiries and Applications for Benefits.

(2)If any Participant or Beneficiary disagrees with the Plan Administrator’s response to such individual’s inquiry or application for benefits, the Participant or Beneficiary shall notify the Plan Administrator in writing and shall request a review of such response. Any such notice shall be treated as a claim for benefits hereunder.

(c)Review of Denied Claims.

(1)Requests for Review. Any person whose claim for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, or such person’s duly authorized representative, may appeal from such denial by submitting a request for a review of the claim to the Plan Administrator within 90 days after receiving written notice of such denial from the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall give the claimant or such representative an opportunity to review pertinent documents that are not privileged in preparing a request for review. A request for review shall be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing. A request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the claimant deems pertinent.

(2)Decision on Review.

If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial 60-day period.

The Plan Administrator shall give prompt, written notice of its decision to the claimant. In the event that the Plan Administrator affirms the denial of the claim for benefits, in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for such denial and specific references to the RRP provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that the claimant (or the claimant’s duly authorized representative) has the right to review all pertinent documents (other than legally privileged documents), and an explanation of the claimant’s right to initiate a lawsuit under section 502(a) of ERISA.

(3)Rules and Procedures. The Plan Administrator may require a claimant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial of benefits to do so at the claimant’s own expense.

APPENDIX E

to the

CHEVRON CORPORATION RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2026)

Section I. Applicability. Appendix E to the RRP (“Appendix E”) is established effective as of January 1, 2026, to set forth special provisions applicable to Former CAP Participants. These provisions apply to Former CAP Participants who become Employees for any portion of the period beginning January 1, 2026 and ending July 31, 2026 (“Appendix E Members”). This Appendix E is intended to provide each Appendix E Member with rights and benefits under the RRP for the period beginning January 1, 2026 and ending July 31, 2026 that are at least as generous as those that would have been provided to the Former CAP Participant under the Hess Restoration Plan for the same period. Notwithstanding any provisions in the RRP or this Appendix E to the contrary, in no event shall a Former CAP Participant be entitled to a benefit under this RRP for the same period for which the Former CAP Participant earns a benefit under the CAP and/or the cash balance component of the Hess Pension Plan. Appendix E is a part of the RRP and shall be administered in accordance with the provisions thereof as amended from time to time, except as hereinafter expressly provided. Capitalized terms used in this Appendix E (other than those terms specifically defined herein) shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the RRP. For avoidance of doubt, this Appendix E does not apply to any participant in the Hess Restoration Plan whose benefits after January 1, 2026, are determined under the final average compensation formula contained in Section 4.2.A. of the Hess Restoration Plan.

Section II. Eligibility. Any Employee who is participating in the CAP on December 31, 2025, shall become a Former CAP Participant and Appendix E Member on January 1, 2026 (but shall not be entitled to any Restoration Benefit solely by reason of becoming a Former CAP Participant and Appendix E Member unless such Employee otherwise satisfies the requirements for a Restoration Benefit under Section III of the RRP).

Section III. Service. An Appendix E Member’s Benefit Accrual Service shall commence on the date he becomes an Appendix E Member.

Section IV. Vesting and Forfeiture. An Appendix E Member’s Vesting Date shall be the earliest of (i) the date described in Section 4(a) of the Retirement Plan, (ii) completion of at least three Years of Vesting and Eligibility Service (as defined under Supplement GGG to the Retirement Plan) on the date of termination, or (iii) a Qualifying Termination on or prior to July 18, 2026. An Appendix E Member’s CAP Protected Benefit shall be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section VII.(a) of the RRP if and only if the CAP Protected Benefit would have been subject to

forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.2.D of the Hess Restoration Plan.

Section V. CAP Protected Benefit.

(a)    Amount.     In addition to the Restoration Benefit calculated in accordance with the RRP without regard to this Section V, each Appendix E Member shall be entitled to a CAP Protected Benefit, calculated and paid in accordance with this Section V, but only if the CAP Protected Benefit exceeds zero. The term “CAP Protected Benefit” shall mean the excess, if any, of:

(i)    the amount that would have been credited to the CAP “Account” pursuant to Section 4.2A-1 of the Hess Restoration Plan for the period beginning January 9, 2026, and ending at the earlier of the Appendix E Member’s Separation from Service or July 31, 2026, and shall be calculated as if the Appendix E Member had continued to participate in the cash balance component of the Hess Pension Plan during such period; over

(ii)    the Appendix E Member’s Restoration Benefit calculated under Section IV(a)(2) of the RRP determined using the Member’s Years of Benefit Accrual Service, Regular Earnings and Highest Five-Year Average Earnings as of the earlier of the Member’s Separation from Service or July 31, 2026. The determination will include any early commencement discount (as specified in Section 4(b) of the Retirement Plan applicable to a CRP2008 Member) as if the Appendix E Member experienced a Separation from Service on July 31, 2026 and commenced benefits as of August 1, 2026. If the Appendix E Member actually experiences a Separation from Service prior to August 1, 2026, then the determination will include any early commencement discount (as specified in Section 4(b) of the Retirement Plan applicable to a CRP2008 Member) as if the Appendix E Member commenced benefits as of the first of the month following their Separation from Service.

The CAP Protected Benefit shall be calculated as of the earlier of the Appendix E Member’s Separation from Service or July 31, 2026, and if the CAP Protected Benefit as of such date is greater than zero, shall be credited with Interest Credits as determined under the Hess Restoration Plan until the date of payment. For avoidance of doubt, if on such date the amount described in Section V(a)(i) is less than the amount described in Section V(a)(ii), no CAP Protected benefit shall be payable, but the amount of the Restoration Benefit shall not be reduced by such deficit.

(b)    Time and Form of Payment. The CAP Protected Benefit, if any, shall be paid in a single lump sum on the following date:

(i)    If the Appendix E Member has completed 10 years of Service (as defined in the Hess Pension Plan) on the date of his Separation from Service, the later of the date the Appendix E Member attains the age of 55, or the date that is 180 days after the date of his Separation from Service.

2026 RRP

29

(ii)    If the Appendix E Member has not completed 10 years of Service on the date of his Separation from Service, the date that the Appendix E Member attains age 65 (or, if the Appendix E Member has attained age 65 prior to his Separation from Service, the date that is 180 days after his Separation from Service).

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CAP Protected Benefit of an Appendix E Member who is a Key Employee (as defined in the Hess Plan and as modified as required by Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i)(6)(i)) on the date of his Separation from Service shall not be distributed until the earlier of the first day of the seventh month following the month that includes the Separation from Service or the Appendix E Member’s death.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, permit an Appendix E Member to have the CAP Protected Benefit, if any, paid at the same time and in the same manner as the remainder of the Restoration Benefit.

(c)    If an Appendix E Member’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the CAP Protected Benefit, if any, shall be paid to his Beneficiary within 90 days after the date of death.

Section VI. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding Section VII.(e) of the RRP, the CAP Protected Benefit of an Appendix E Member may be assigned by a qualified domestic relations order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to July 18, 2026.

Section VII. Definitions.

(a) CAP. The term “CAP” shall mean the Cash Accumulation Plan component of the Hess Restoration Plan as set forth in Section 4.2A-1 of the Hess Restoration Plan.

(b)    Cause. The term “Cause” means, unless otherwise provided in the Appendix E Member’s Change in Control Agreement or an effective employment agreement with Hess Corporation in effect on July 18, 2025, (i) a felony conviction of the Appendix E Member or the failure of the Appendix E Member to contest prosecution for a felony; (ii) the Appendix E Member’s gross and willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Appendix E Member’s duties with the Corporation or Affiliated Group (as defined in the Retirement Plan), or (iii) the willful and continued failure of the Appendix E Member to substantially perform the Appendix E Member’s duties with the Corporation or Affiliated Group after a written demand from the Corporation’s board of directors or the management compensation committee of such board for substantial performance which specifically identifies the manner in which the board or management compensation committee, as the case may be, believes that the Appendix E Member has not performed his or her duties with the Corporation; provided that the event or circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is directly and materially harmful to the reputation of the Corporation or Affiliated Group.

CHEVRON CORPORATION ESIP RESTORATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated effective January 1, 2026)

SECTION I.INTRODUCTION.

(a)The ChevronTexaco Corporation ESIP Restoration Plan (the “ESIP-RP”) was established effective July 1, 2002 as a spin out of a portion of the liabilities of the Chevron Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (the “Excess Plan”). The ESIP-RP provides additional retirement benefits to those provided under the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (the “ESIP”) (prior to January 1, 2006, the ESIP was named the ChevronTexaco Employee Savings Investment Plan). In addition, the ESIP-RP also provided additional retirement benefits to those provided under the Unocal Savings Plan (the “USP”), effective January 1, 2006 through the effective date of the USP’s merger with the ESIP.

(b)Effective July 1, 2006, the ESIP-RP was amended and restated to incorporate certain ESIP-RP changes which occurred subsequent to July 1, 2002, and to rename the ESIP-RP the Chevron Corporation ESIP Restoration Plan. From July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005, this ESIP-RP provided additional retirement benefits to those provided under the ESIP because the ESIP’s benefits are subject to limitations on contributions imposed by sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code and because the ESIP’s definition of Regular Earnings did not include salary deferrals under the Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (together with the Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II, the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Prior to January 1, 2006, Participants received credits under this ESIP-RP without regard to whether the Participant deferred any amount to the Deferred Compensation Plan or the ESIP.

(c)On August 10, 2005, the Corporation acquired Unocal Corporation and later became the sponsor of the USP. Effective January 1, 2006, the ESIP-RP also provides benefits to certain members of the USP as described below.

(d)Effective January 1, 2006, amounts allocated to this ESIP-RP are limited to Participants (including Members of the ESIP and USP) whose compensation exceeds the limitation on compensation that may be taken into account with respect to a qualified retirement plan that is imposed by section 401(a)(17) of the Code (the “Section 401(a)(17) Limitation”) and who elect to defer two percent (2%) or more of their Regular Earnings over this limitation to the Deferred Compensation Plan.

(e)In addition, the July 1, 2006 ESIP-RP restatement was intended to incorporate changes necessary to comply with section 409A of the Code, to grandfather the provisions of the ESIP-RP that were in effect as of December 31, 2004, and to adopt certain other transitional rules pursuant to guidance issued with respect to section 409A of the Code.

(f)Effective January 1, 2009, the ESIP-RP was amended and restated in order to comply with the Internal Revenue Service’s final regulations under Section 409A. Because of certain changes to the ESIP’s definition of Regular Earnings effective on or after January 1, 2008, the ESIP-RP was also amended to continue to include salary deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan and exclude awards under the Chevron Incentive Plan (or successor plan) in the compensation used for purposes of this ESIP-RP.

(g)Effective January 1, 2017, the ESIP-RP was amended to replace the definition of Beneficiary and, effective June 1, 2017, to cease accepting domestic relations orders.

(h)Effective January 1, 2018, the ESIP-RP was amended and restated in order to use the closing price of Chevron Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange to value transactions in shares of Chevron Stock for purposes of calculating benefits under the ESIP-RP, and to incorporate prior administrative amendments.

(i)Effective August 1, 2024, the ESIP-RP was amended and restated to add a claims procedure.

(j)Effective January 1, 2026, the ESIP-RP was amended and restated to update the choice of law provision from California to Texas.

(k)The main text of this ESIP-RP shall govern the Plan Benefit attributable to amounts credited to a Participant’s Account (and earnings thereon) on or after January 1, 2005 except that Appendix B shall govern the distribution of such Plan Benefit of a Participant who incurs a Separation from Service between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008.

(A)are Employees who are eligible to participate in the ESIP; and

(B)make a DCP Salary Deferral; or

(2)they have an undistributed accrued benefit under the ESIP-RP.

SECTION IV.PLAN BENEFITS.

The Plan Benefit under the ESIP-RP consists of the ESIP Restoration Benefit. The ESIP Restoration Benefit is the lump sum value of a Participant’s Stock Units which are credited to a Participant’s Account. In addition to the Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account as of December 31, 2008, Stock Units are credited to such Account as described below in Sections IV.(a) and are credited with earnings in accordance with Section IV.(b) below.

(a)Allocation of Stock Units. A Participant who makes a DCP Salary Deferral for the calendar year shall receive an allocation of Stock Units equal to eight percent (8%) of that portion of the Participant’s ESIP-RP Regular Earnings that are not included in “Regular Earnings” under the ESIP.

(b)Earnings. As of the payment date of a cash dividend paid with respect to shares of Chevron Stock, each Participant’s Account shall be credited with the number of Stock Units determined by multiplying the number of Stock Units in such Account on the day prior to the ex-dividend date by the per share amount of such dividend, and by dividing the resulting amount by the Chevron Stock price as of the close of business as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as of the payment date.

SECTION V.DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS.

Plan Benefits shall be distributed in cash in accordance with this Section V. Distributions shall only be made after a Participant incurs a Separation from Service.

(a)Default Distribution Form. Unless the Participant has made a valid election to the contrary or except as provided in Section VI.(b), the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum in the first Quarter that is at least twelve (12) months after the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.

(b)Distribution Election. A Participant is permitted to make an initial election regarding the timing and form of distribution of his or her Plan Benefit as follows:

(1)Election Procedure. A Participant who is eligible to participate in the ESIP-RP on his or her first hire date and who completes a valid salary deferral election under the DCP within 30 days of such date may also elect his or her time and form of distribution under this ESIP-RP on or before the date that is 30 days after his or her first hire date. Any other Participant may elect his or her time and form of distribution no later than the later of December 31, 2006 and the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant first completes a valid salary deferral election under the DCP, or such earlier date as specified by the Committee. Such an election shall be made by filing the prescribed form with the Committee.

(2)Time and Form of Distribution.

A Participant may make a timely election to receive his or her Plan Benefit only in the following forms and times:

(A)In a lump sum payable in the first Quarter or in the first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service; or

(B)In ten (10) or fewer approximately equal annual installments, commencing in the first Quarter or in the first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service. Subsequent installments will be paid each January.

(c)Valuation of Stock Units/Determination of Installment Payments. The amount of the cash payment pursuant to Section V.(a) or (b) attributable to any Account to which Stock Units are credited shall be determined by dividing the number of such Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of the first business day of the Quarter in which the distribution is made by the number of annual payments remaining to be made, and by converting the resulting number of Stock Units to a cash amount by multiplying such number of Stock Units by the Chevron Stock price as of the close of business as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the first business day of the Quarter which includes the date payment is made under the ESIP-RP.

(d)Change of Distribution Form Election. The form and time of distribution (as determined pursuant to Section V.(a) or (b)) may be changed in accordance with the requirements of this Section V.(d) and such additional procedures as may be prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to the following requirements:

(1)Such an election shall only be valid if it is made at least twelve (12) months prior to the original payment date and postpones the commencement of such payment(s) to at least five (5) years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. The new election can be a lump sum payment or ten or fewer installments payable or commencing in the first Quarter or the first January that is five or more whole years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. All installment payments shall be made in cash and, after the first such installment, shall be paid in January; and

(2)For purposes of this ESIP-RP, “payment date” means the date a lump sum is payable or the date the first of a series of installments is payable. Installment payments shall be considered to be one payment.

(e)Acceleration of Payments. Except with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency; a Participant may not elect to accelerate an irrevocable distribution of any portion of his or her Plan Benefit prior to the date it would otherwise be distributed; provided that an election change permitted under Section V.(d) shall not be considered to be an accelerated distribution solely because such change results in a change to the time and/or form of distribution.

(f)Unforeseeable Emergency.

(1)A Participant may request distribution of such portion of his or her Account to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy an Unforeseeable Emergency (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).

(2)Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency will take into account any additional compensation that is available to the Participant to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency with the exception of benefits:

(A)Under a pension plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code (including any amount available as a plan loan); or

(B)Available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of section 409A of the Code (or would be such a nonqualified deferred compensation plan if it was not grandfathered under the effective date provisions of section 409A of the Code).

(3)Notwithstanding Section V.(c), the date the Committee approves the request for such an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution shall be used for purposes of determining the number of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account, as well as the valuation of these Stock Units; provided, however, that any earnings credited under Section IV.(b) during the Quarter in which the Committee approves the request shall be deemed to be credited as of such date if necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency.

(g)Cashout Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section V., if a Participant’s Plan Benefit upon Separation from Service is less than $50,000 (not including the Participant’s Grandfathered Amount) as of the first business day of the first Quarter that is at least 12 months following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, then such Plan Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum during such Quarter.

SECTION VI.DEATH BENEFITS.

(a)Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate, in the manner and on the form prescribed by the Committee, one or more Beneficiaries to receive payment of any Plan Benefit that is undistributed at the time of the Participant’s death. A Participant may change such designation at any time by filing the prescribed form in the manner established by the Committee. No Beneficiary designation shall be effective until it is filed in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. If a Beneficiary has not been designated or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, distribution will be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse as Beneficiary if such spouse is then living or, if none or not living, in equal shares to the then living children of the Participant as Beneficiaries or, if none, in equal shares to the then living parents of the Participant as beneficiaries, or, if none, in equal shares to the then living siblings of the Participant as beneficiaries or, if none, to the Participant’s estate as Beneficiary.

(b)Time and Form of Death Benefit. If a Participant who has made a valid election as to the form and time of the payment of his or her Account dies, then the Beneficiary shall receive the payment(s) on the date(s) elected by the Participant and at the same time and in the same form as the Participant would have received such payment(s), except that the Beneficiary may request a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency as described in Section V.(f). If such a Participant has not made a valid election as to the time and form of his distribution,

then payment shall be made in a lump sum on the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s death.

SECTION VII.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)Forfeitures. Plan Benefits shall be fully vested at all times; provided, however, that, if a Participant engages in Misconduct the Committee (or its delegate) may determine that any balance in the Participant’s Account attributable to allocations to the ESIP-RP on or after June 29, 2005 and the date of the Participant’s Misconduct shall be forfeited.

(b)Funding. The ESIP-RP shall be unfunded, and all Plan Benefits shall be paid only from the general assets of the Corporation.

(c)Tax Withholding. All distributions shall be net of any applicable payroll deductions including, but not limited to, any federal, state or local income tax withholding. In addition, any withholding amount required under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act with respect to a Participant’s Plan Benefit prior to the date a distribution shall be paid through withholding from the Participant’s salary or other income from the Corporation; provided, however, that if such amounts are not withheld in this manner, then these withholdings shall be debited from the Participant’s Plan Benefit.

(d)No Employment Rights. Nothing in the ESIP-RP shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain in the employ of the Corporation nor affect the right of the Corporation to terminate any individual’s employment at any time and for any reason, which right is hereby reserved.

(e)No Assignment of Property Rights. Except as may be required by applicable law, or as is described below relating to domestic relations orders, no Plan Benefit or property interest in this ESIP-RP may be assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, anticipated or subject to attachment, bankruptcy, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process. Any act in violation of this Section VII.(e) shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to all or any portion of a Participant’s Plan Benefit hereunder pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code) that is valid under applicable state law and not preempted by ERISA shall not constitute a violation of this Section VII.(e). Effective June 1, 2017, the Corporation shall no longer accept domestic relations orders under the Plan.

(f)Effect of Change in Capitalization on Participant’s Accounts. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in capitalization affecting Chevron Stock, an appropriate number of Stock Units shall be substituted for, or added to, each Stock Unit then credited on behalf of each Participant's Account, and such substituted or added Stock Unit shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Stock Unit.

(g)Administration. The ESIP-RP shall be administered by the Committee. No member of the Committee shall become a Participant in the ESIP-RP. The Committee shall make such rules, interpretations and computations as it may deem appropriate. The Committee shall have sole discretion to interpret the terms of the ESIP-RP, make any factual findings, and make any decision with respect to the ESIP-RP, including (without limitation) any determination

of eligibility to participate in the ESIP-RP, eligibility for a Plan Benefit, and the amount of such Plan Benefit. The Committee’s determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate other persons to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

(h)Amendment and Termination. The Corporation expects to continue the ESIP-RP indefinitely. Future conditions, however, cannot be foreseen. Subject to Section VIII., the Corporation shall have the authority to amend or to terminate the ESIP-RP at any time and for any reason, by action of its board of directors or by action of a committee or individual(s) acting pursuant to a valid delegation of authority. In the event of an amendment or termination of the ESIP-RP, the number of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s ESIP Restoration Account shall not be less than the number of Stock Units to which he or she would have been entitled to as of the date of such amendment or termination, as adjusted for subsequent cash dividends as described in Section IV.(b).

(i)Effect of Reemployment. If any Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service is reemployed, such Participant shall continue to receive any amounts attributable to his or her previous employment according to his or her existing distribution schedule under the Excess Plan or this ESIP-RP, as applicable. The Plan Benefit of a reemployed Participant that is attributable to such additional service shall be allocated to a new Account. When the reemployed Participant subsequently incurs a Separation from Service, such new Account will be distributed in accordance with Section V. of this ESIP-RP without regard to any election made with respect to, or distribution schedule applicable to, amounts attributable to the Participant’s previous employment. For this purpose, a distribution election only with respect to the Plan Benefit attributable to the additional service that is made by the Participant no later than the last day of the calendar year immediately preceding the first calendar year in which such Plan Benefit accrues or such earlier date as specified by the Committee shall be treated as the initial distribution election under Section V.(b) with respect to such Plan Benefit. A Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service without terminating his or her employment relationship with the Company shall be considered to be reemployed for purposes of this Section VII.(i) when the Participant begins to actually perform services for the Company, and any amounts allocated with respect to the Participant prior to such time shall be attributable to his or her previous employment.

(j)Excess Plan/Top-Hat Plan Status. To the extent that the ESIP-RP provides a benefit in excess of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by section 415 of the Code, the ESIP-RP is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA, that is an unfunded deferred compensation program. Otherwise, the ESIP-RP is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation program that is maintained “for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” as set forth in Title I of ERISA. The ESIP-RP shall be implemented, administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention.

(k)Successors and Assigns. The ESIP-RP shall be binding upon the Corporation, its Successors and Assigns. Notwithstanding that the ESIP-RP may be binding upon a Successor or

Assign by operation of law, the Corporation shall also require any Successor or Assign to expressly assume and agree to be bound by the ESIP-RP in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be if no succession or assignment had taken place.

(l)409A Compliance. This ESIP-RP is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a failure to comply with section 409A of the Code (or the regulations thereunder), the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the time or form of payment of a Participant’s Plan Benefit, but only to the extent of the amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure.

(m)Choice of Law. The ESIP-RP shall be administered, construed and governed in accordance with ERISA, the Code, and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, by the laws of the State of Texas, unless, solely for any claim arising in California, California Labor Code Section 925(a) applies to require California law instead, but without regard to its conflict of law rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, domestic relations orders and the Section II.(y) definition of Misconduct shall be subject to the jurisdiction’s law that would otherwise be applicable, but without regard to that particular jurisdiction’s conflict of laws rules.

SECTION VIII.CHANGE IN CONTROL.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the ESIP-RP to the contrary, the provisions of this Section VIII. shall apply during the Benefit Protection Period.

(a)Restrictions on Amendments During Benefit Protection Period. Notwithstanding Section VII.(h), except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, no amendment of the ESIP-RP (other than an amendment to reduce or discontinue future allocations under the ESIP-RP after the end of the Benefit Protection Period) that is executed or first becomes effective during the Benefit Protection Period shall:

(1)Deprive any individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of coverage under the ESIP-RP as constituted at the time of such amendment;

(2)Deprive any individual who is a Beneficiary with respect to an individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of any benefit to which he or she is entitled on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or may become entitled during the Benefit Protection Period;

(3)Reduce the amount of benefits provided under the ESIP-RP below the benefits provided under the ESIP-RP on the day prior to the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date;

(4)Amend Sections II (c), II (d), II (f), II (ii), VII.(k), or VIII. of the ESIP-RP; or

(5)Terminate the ESIP-RP.

(b)Exception to Section VIII.(a). Section VIII.(a) shall not apply to the extent that (i) the amendment or termination of the ESIP-RP is approved after any plans have been

abandoned to effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred, and (ii) within a period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred. For purposes of this Section VIII., approval shall mean written approval (by a person or entity within the Corporation having the authority to do so) of such amendment or termination.

(c)Restrictions on Certain Actions Prior to or Following, a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the ESIP-RP and except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, (i) any amendment or termination of the ESIP-RP which is executed or would otherwise become effective prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who effectuates a Change in Control shall not be an effective amendment or termination of the ESIP-RP during the Benefit Protection Period; and (ii) the ESIP-RP shall not be amended at any time if to do so would adversely affect the rights derived under the ESIP-RP from this Section VIII. of any individual who is a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period or a Beneficiary with respect to a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period. Furthermore, following a Change in Control, no person shall take any action that would directly or indirectly have the same effect as any of the prohibited amendments listed in Section VIII.(a).

(d)ESIP Restoration Benefit. Each of a Participant’s Stock Units shall be converted to a dollar amount immediately after a Change in Control in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the highest price per share of Chevron Stock (the “Shares”) paid to holders of the Shares in any transaction (or series of transactions) constituting or resulting in a Change in Control or (ii) the highest closing price of a Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Composite Transaction Report during the ninety-day period ending on the date of a Change in Control. Thereafter deemed earnings shall be added to the unpaid portion of the total dollar amount of the Participant’s Plan Benefit as if such amounts were invested in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund. If for any reason such fund ceases to exist, earnings shall be determined based upon the earnings rate associated with the successor to such fund.

(e)Distribution of Plan Benefits. A Change in Control shall not affect the time and form of distributions under the Plan.

(f)Establishment of a Trust. Notwithstanding anything contained in the ESIP-RP to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit the Corporation from establishing a trust or other arrangement for the purpose of providing for the payment of the benefits payable under the ESIP-RP.

(g)No Forfeitures. During the Benefit Protection Period, a Participant's ESIP-RP Benefit shall not be subject to forfeiture under any circumstances.

(h)Miscellaneous.

(1)The provisions of the ESIP-RP shall be deemed severable and the validity or enforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

(2)The Corporation’s obligation to make the payments and provide the benefits provided for in the ESIP-RP and otherwise to perform its obligation hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Corporation may have against the Participant or others.

(3)No provision of the ESIP-RP may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Participant and the Corporation. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this ESIP-RP to be performed by such other party, shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

SECTION IX.GRANDFATHERED PROVISIONS.

Notwithstanding any provision of the main text of the ESIP-RP, any provision in an Appendix shall supersede any contrary provision herein unless the Appendix specifically states to the contrary.

SECTION X.CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES.

(a)Inquiries and Applications for Benefits.

(1)All inquiries concerning the ESIP-RP or present or future rights to benefits under the ESIP-RP and all applications for benefits under the ESIP-RP shall be submitted to the Corporation, as Plan Administrator, in writing. An application for benefits shall be made by properly completing and filing the prescribed application form.

(2)If any Participant or Beneficiary disagrees with the Plan Administrator’s response to such individual’s inquiry or application for benefits, the Participant or Beneficiary shall notify the Plan Administrator in writing and shall request a review of such response. Any such notice shall be treated as a claim for benefits hereunder.

(b)Denial of Claims. In the event that any claim for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial and of the claimant’s right to a review thereof. Such written notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the ESIP-RP provisions on which such denial is based, a description of any information or material necessary to perfect the claim, an explanation of why such material is necessary, an explanation of the ESIP-RP’s procedure for Review of Denied Claims, and an explanation of the claimant’s right to initiate a lawsuit under section 502(a) of ERISA if the claimant’s appeal is denied. Such written notice shall be given to the claimant within 90 days after the Plan Administrator receives the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, up to an additional 90 days, for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the end of the initial 90-day period. Such notice of extension shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision on the claim for benefits.

(c)Review of Denied Claims.

(1)Requests for Review. Any person whose claim for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, or such person’s duly authorized representative, may appeal from such denial by submitting a request for a review of the claim to the Plan Administrator within 90 days after receiving written notice of such denial from the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall give the claimant or such representative an opportunity to review pertinent documents that are not privileged in preparing a request for review. A request for review shall be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing. A request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the claimant deems pertinent. The Plan Administrator may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review.

(2)Decision on Review. The Plan Administrator shall act on each request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require an extension of time, up to an additional 60 days, for processing the request. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial 60-day period.

The Plan Administrator shall give prompt, written notice of its decision to the claimant. In the event that the Plan Administrator affirms the denial of the claim for benefits, in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for such denial and specific references to the ESIP-RP provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that the claimant (or the claimant’s duly authorized representative) has the right to review all pertinent documents (other than legally privileged documents), and an explanation of the claimant’s right to initiate a lawsuit under section 502(a) of ERISA.

(3)Rules and Procedures. The Plan Administrator may require a claimant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial of benefits to do so at the claimant’s own expense.

(f)Effective Date. Unless otherwise provided, the claims and review procedures described in this Section X are effective as of August 1, 2024.

Section III. Valuation of Stock Units/Determination of Installment Payments. The amount of the cash payment attributable to any Account to which Stock Units are credited shall be determined by dividing the number of such Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of the first business day of the Quarter in which the distribution is made by the number of annual payments remaining to be made, and by converting the resulting number of Stock Units to a cash amount by multiplying such number of Stock Units by: (i) effective prior to January 1, 2018, the average daily trade price for the Chevron stock fund within the ESIP as of the first business day of the Quarter which includes the date payment is made under the ESIP-RP; or (ii) effective on or after January 1, 2018, the Chevron Stock price as of the close of business as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as of the first business day of the Quarter which includes the date payment is made under the ESIP-RP.

Section IV. Earnings. As of the payment date of a cash dividend paid with respect to shares of Chevron Stock, each Participant’s Account shall be credited with the number of Stock Units determined by multiplying the number of Stock Units in such Account on the day prior to the ex-dividend date by the per share amount of such dividend, and by dividing the resulting amount by: (i) effective prior to January 1, 2018, the average share price obtained in connection with the reinvestment of the dividend in the Chevron stock fund within the ESIP; or (ii) effective on or after January 1, 2018, the Chevron Stock price as of the close of business as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as of the payment date.

15.GOVERNING LAW AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

15.1    Governing Law. The Agreement and its subject matter, and the contractual and non-contractual rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the foregoing, are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law rules, except that rules of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§1-16 (the “Act”) govern this Section.

15.2    Resolution of Disputes. The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute using direct negotiations, mediation, and then arbitration as set out in Section 4. If any dispute arises out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to the other Party setting out, in writing and in detail, the issues in dispute and the value of the Claim.

15.3    Mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved by direct negotiations within 30 days from the date of written notice initiating the dispute resolution process, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other Party. Mediation must be attended by a representative from each Party with decision-making authority. The place of mediation will be Houston, Texas.

15.4    Arbitration Proceedings. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 60 days from notice of mediation, then the dispute must be finally resolved by binding arbitration and either Party may initiate arbitration by giving notice to the other Party. One arbitrator (or three arbitrators if the monetary value of the dispute is more than US$5,000,000) will conduct the proceedings in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Rules for Administered Arbitration which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or CPR Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement prevail. The CPR is the appointing authority for the arbitrator(s). The seat of arbitration will be New York, New York. All arbitration fees and costs will be paid equally, regardless of which Party prevails and each Party shall pay its own costs of legal representation and witness expenses. The arbitration award is final and binding, and the arbitrators should use their best efforts to issue the award within 90 days from completion of the arbitration hearing. Any communications and documents related to the dispute will be confidential and may not be disclosed to any Third Party or used for any other purposes, except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or to protect a legal right. Regardless of the Parties’ requirement to arbitrate, any of the following may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction: proceedings to (A) preserve property pending determination by the arbitrator(s), (B) enforce the confidentiality or data protection obligations under the Agreement, the failure of which to enforce the Parties agree would cause irreparable harm, or (C) to compel arbitration. Any prevailing Party in the arbitration may file an action to enforce a judgment entered on an arbitration award.

15.GOVERNING LAW AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

15.1    Governing Law. The Agreement and its subject matter, and the contractual and non-contractual rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the foregoing, are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law rules, except that rules of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§1-16 (the “Act”) govern this Section.

15.2    Resolution of Disputes. The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute using direct negotiations, mediation as set out in Section 15.3, and then arbitration as set out in Section 15.4. If any dispute arises out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to the other Party setting out, in writing and in detail, the issues in dispute and the value of the Claim.

15.3    Mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved by direct negotiations within 30 days from the date of written notice initiating the dispute resolution process, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other Party. Mediation must be attended by a representative from each Party with decision-making authority. The place of mediation will be Houston, Texas.

15.4    Arbitration Proceedings. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 60 days from notice of mediation, then the dispute must be finally resolved by binding arbitration and either Party may initiate arbitration by giving notice to the other Party. One arbitrator (or three arbitrators if the monetary value of the dispute is more than US$5,000,000) will conduct the proceedings in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Rules for Administered Arbitration which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or CPR Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement prevail. The CPR is the appointing authority for the arbitrator(s). The seat of arbitration will be New York, New York. All arbitration fees and costs will be paid equally, regardless of which Party prevails and each Party shall pay its own costs of legal representation and witness expenses. The arbitration award is final and binding, and the arbitrators should use their best efforts to issue the award within 90 days from completion of the arbitration hearing. Any communications and documents related to the dispute will be confidential and may not be disclosed to any Third Party or used for any other purposes, except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or to protect a legal right. Regardless of the Parties’ requirement to arbitrate, any of the following may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction: proceedings to (A) preserve property pending determination by the arbitrator(s), (B) enforce the confidentiality or data protection obligations under the Agreement, the failure of which to enforce the Parties agree would cause irreparable harm, or (C) to compel arbitration. Any prevailing Party in the arbitration may file an action to enforce a judgment entered on an arbitration award.

(g)Termination of Employment. The Rules and/or individual Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Stock Option following Termination. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Stock Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for Termination.

(h)Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee or a transferee of an Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Stock Option until the date such interest is recorded as a book entry on the records of the Corporation. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such interest is recorded as a book entry in the records of the Corporation. Stock Options are subject to adjustment as provided in Section XII.

(i)Stock Appreciation Rights.

The exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such limitations (including, but not limited to, limitations as to time and amount) as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The payment for Stock Appreciation Rights may be made in Shares (determined with reference to its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), or in cash, or partly in cash and in Shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. In the event of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the underlying Stock Option shall be deemed to have been exercised for all purposes under the Plan, including Section V. Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to adjustment as provided in Section XII. No Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable for more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. The exercise price shall never be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Share’s Fair Market Value on the grant date.

(i)    The Committee shall prescribe rules governing the adjustment of the number of shares covered by the Plan as provided in Section V. and of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the event that the preferred stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the Corporation’s stockholder rights plan or any successor rights plan detach from the Common Stock and become exercisable.

SECTION XIII.FORFEITURE FOR MISCONDUCT.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant engages in Misconduct the Committee (or its delegate) may:

(1)Rescind the exercise of any Stock Option granted on or after June 29, 2005 and exercised on or after the date the Participant’s Misconduct occurred and cancel all Awards granted on or after June 29, 2005 and outstanding on the date of discovery of the Participant’s Misconduct; and

(2)Demand that the Participant repay any cash, shares, or cash equivalent of such shares, distributed to the Participant in respect of any Award granted on or after June 29, 2005 or pay over to the Corporation the proceeds (less the Participant’s purchase price, if any) received by the Participant upon the sale, transfer or other transaction involving the Shares acquired upon the exercise of any Stock Option granted on or after June 29, 2005 and exercised on or after the date the Participant’s Misconduct occurred or upon the vesting of any Award granted on or after June 29, 2005 and vested after the date of the Participant’s Misconduct, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required, and, without limiting any other remedy the Corporation or its affiliates may have, the Corporation shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such proceeds any amount owed the Participant by the Corporation or its affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law;

Provided that, following a Change in Control, this Section XIII. shall apply only in the event of Misconduct as defined in Section II.(v)(1) and (2) of the Plan.

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, until any Award that does not constitute non-qualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code is delivered or distributed, such Award is subject to forfeiture if the Participant

is indebted to the Corporation at the time when the Award becomes payable or distributable. In such case, such Award (to the extent that the amount thereof does not exceed such indebtedness determined as of the date payment is scheduled to be made) shall be forfeited and the Participant’s indebtedness to the Corporation shall be extinguished to the extent of such forfeiture.

(c)    Any provision of this Section XIII. which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Section XIII.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Award granted to a Covered Executive, as that term is defined by the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, shall be and remain subject to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy or any successor incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time . No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.

SECTION XIV.SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

No Shares shall be issued and no Stock Options shall become exercisable pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Corporation has determined that:

(b)    Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c)    Any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.

SECTION XV.AMENDMENTS OF THE PLAN OR AWARDS.

(a)Amendment of the Plan. The Board may, at any time, alter, amend or terminate the Plan; provided:

(1)The Board may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any Shares at the time not already subject to Awards, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever. However, unless the Board specifically otherwise provides, any revision or amendment that would cause the Plan to fail to comply with either Rule 16b-3 or any other requirement of applicable law or regulation if such amendment were not approved by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall not be effective unless and until the approval of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation is obtained.

(2)No amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan (including any amendment to this Section XV.) approved by the Board during the Benefit Protection Period under Change in Control shall be valid or effective if such amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation would alter the provisions of this Section XV. or adversely affect an Award outstanding under the Plan; provided, however, any amendment,

revision, suspension or discontinuation may be effected, even if so approved after the public announcement of the proposed transaction which effected, would have constituted a Change in Control, if:

(A)The amendment or revision is approved after any plans have been abandoned to effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred; and

(B)Within a period of six (6) months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred.

(3)Any amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan which is approved by the Board prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who effectuates a Change in Control shall be deemed to be an amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan so approved during the Benefit Protection Period.

(b)Amendments of Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may amend, cancel, modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; provided, however, that the post-Termination exercise of an outstanding Stock Option shall not be extended to a date later than the date the Stock Option is originally scheduled to expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stock Option or, as applicable, any other Award shall be repriced under this Plan.

(c)Rights of Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section XV., no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan nor any amendment, cancellation or modification of any Award outstanding under it that would adversely affect the right of any Participant in an Award previously granted under the Plan shall be effective without the written consent of the affected Participant except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including compliance with any provision of law concerning favorable taxation).

SECTION XVI.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)Authority to Satisfy Obligations. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other compensation plans or arrangements of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any plans or arrangements of any employer acquired by the Corporation.

(b)Participants’ Stockholder Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the date such interest is recorded as a book entry on the records of the Corporation. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such interest is recorded.

(c)Participant’s Rights Unsecured. A holder of an Other Share-Based Award or a Non-Stock Award shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Corporation.

Other Share-Based Awards and Non-Stock Awards shall represent unfunded and unsecured obligations against the general assets of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Other Share-Based Award Agreement and of the Non- Stock Award Agreement.

(d)Authority to Establish a Grantor Trust. The Committee is authorized in its sole discretion to establish a grantor trust for the purpose of providing security for the payment of Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that no Participant shall be considered to have a beneficial ownership interest (or any other sort of interest) in any specific asset of the Corporation as a result of the creation of such trust or the transfer of funds or other property to such trust.

(e)No Obligation to Exercise Stock Option. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Stock Option.

(f)Participant’s Beneficiary. The Rules may provide that in the case of an Award that is not forfeitable by its terms upon the death of the Participant, the Participant may designate a beneficiary with respect to such Award in the event of death of a Participant.

(g)Deferral Elections. Grants under the Plan other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be deferred, if so provided in the Award agreement, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II (or any successor plan) and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(h)Awards in Foreign Countries. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and sub plans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Corporation may operate to assure the viability of the benefits of Awards made to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the intent of the Plan.

(i)Withholding Taxes.

(1)General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the recipient of any payment or distribution under the Plan shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of such payment or distribution. The Corporation shall not be required to make such payment or distribution until such obligations are satisfied.

(2)Stock Withholding. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding tax obligations incident to the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award by having the Corporation withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her. The payment of withholding taxes by surrendering Shares to the Corporation, if permitted by the Committee, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by rules of the Commission due to adverse accounting considerations.

(j)Other Corporation Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination indemnity or severance pay law

of any country, state or political subdivision thereof and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Corporation unless expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangement, or except where the Committee expressly determines that inclusion of an Award or portion of an Award is necessary to accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of competitive annual cash compensation. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with or in tandem with, or as alternatives to, grants, awards or payments under any Corporation plans. The Plan notwithstanding, the Corporation may adopt such other compensation programs and additional compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract, retain and reward Eligible Employees for their service with the Corporation.

(k)Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or the grant of Restricted Stock shall be used for general corporate purposes.

(l)Costs of the Plan. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.

(m)Binding Effect of Plan. The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Corporation, its Successors or Assigns and the Corporation shall require any Successor or Assign to expressly assume and agree to perform the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such Succession or Assignment had taken place.

(n)No Waiver of Breach. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of the Plan to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions of conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(o)No Right to Employment. Neither the Plan, the Rules, or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee any right to remain in the employ of the Corporation or to impair the Corporation’s right to Terminate any employee at any time, with or without cause, which right is hereby reserved.

(p)Choice of Law. The Plan shall be administered, construed and governed in accordance with the Code, and the laws of the State of Texas, unless, solely for any claim arising in California, California Labor Code Section 925(a) applies to require California law instead, but without regard to its conflict of law rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Section II.(v) definition of Misconduct shall be subject to the jurisdiction’s law that would otherwise be applicable, but without regard to that particular jurisdiction’s conflict of laws rules.

(q)Severability. The provisions of the Plan shall be deemed severable and the validity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

you received prior to Termination, following a Termination described in the preceding sentence the Award shall continue to vest as described above in Section 1.5 of this Agreement.

iii.Notwithstanding the foregoing, , if you Terminate employment after a Change in Control and you are eligible for a severance pay benefit under a Change in Control severance pay program maintained by Chevron, as may be amended, the vested portion of your Performance Share Award will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Shares granted by the number of completed months from the Performance Period start date to your Termination date, up to a maximum of 12 months, divided by 12 months. The unvested portion of your Performance Shares Award will be forfeited.

b.Termination in a European Union Payroll1 Country

If you are on a European Union country’s payroll (including the UK) at Termination of employment, your Performance Share Award is affected as follows.

i.Your employment Terminates after the Grant Date and you have provided at least six months’ advance notice of a Termination date or such other period agreed upon with Chevron, or you Terminate due to involuntary Termination (except due to misconduct), divestiture, or other special situation explicitly approved by Chevron and, in each case, at time of Termination, you have twenty-five (25) or more Years of Service, in which case a portion of Performance Share Units shall continue to vest as described above in Section 1.5 of this Agreement, which portion shall be determined by dividing the number of whole months elapsed from the grant date until Termination, up to a maximum of twelve (12), by twelve (12). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if this Award is not the most recent grant you received prior to Termination, following a Termination described in the preceding sentence the Award shall continue to vest as described above in Section 1.5 of this Agreement.

2.2DISABILITY. For purposes of the Vesting and the forfeiture of your Performance Share Award, you are deemed to have Terminated upon the earlier of twenty-four (24) months after the commencement of long-term disability benefits under a plan or program sponsored by the Corporation, or the date you fail to qualify, or no longer qualify for such long-term disability benefits, provided that you do not return to active employment with the Corporation at that time.

2.3DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. If the dividend record date and the accompanying dividend payment date of Chevron common stock occur on or before the applicable Performance Period end date, your Performance Shares will earn Dividend Equivalents in the form of additional Performance Shares, subject to the vesting and Termination provisions described above.

2.4PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD PAYOUT.

TSR

Relative TSR Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6
TSR Modifier 200% 160% 120% 80% 40% 0%

The Peer Group for TSR is BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, TotalEnergies, and S&P 500 Total Return Index. In the event Chevron’s measured TSR is less than 1 percentage point of the nearest member(s) of the Competition, the results will be considered a tie, and the TSR Modifier will be determined by dividing the sum of the TSR Modifiers in the tied positions by the number of members of the Competition in the tie.

If you are a Chevron Executive Officer as of the Grant Date, your Award is subject to a 20% reduction of the above-target TSR Modifier if the TSR is negative, determined as of the end of the three-year Performance Period.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee retains the discretion to adjust the payout of Performance Shares if business or economic conditions warrant, as the Committee determines.

image_0b.jpg

Performance Share Awards and any proceeds or other benefits you may receive hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Corporation (i) under the terms of the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, as may be amended from time to time (and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement without your additional consent), to the extent applicable to you or (ii) to comply with any requirements imposed under applicable laws and/or the rules and regulations of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. See the terms of the Plan for additional information.

You can also view a copy of the prospectus and prospectus supplement.

2.11NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD. You are not permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber this Performance Share Award during your lifetime. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Performance Share Award may be transferred or assigned after your death to your beneficiary.

As part of this policy, employees, members of the Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”) Board of Directors and consultants (referred to herein as “Chevron Personnel”) may not transact (as described below), directly or indirectly, including through family members1 or other persons or entities, in Chevron securities while aware of material, non-public information regarding Chevron.

In addition, Chevron Personnel may not communicate material, non-public information regarding Chevron or any other company that was obtained as a result of the individual’s employment or relationship to Chevron to third parties.

In general, Chevron Personnel who are aware of material, non-public information may not transact in Chevron securities or the securities of any other company until the first business day that is at least 24 hours after the time that the information is publicly released.

This policy also applies to (1) any entities Chevron Personnel or their family members control, such as partnerships, trusts and corporations, and (2) brokerage accounts maintained for the benefit of Chevron Personnel or their family members if anyone has discretion over the accounts. These individuals and entities are referred to herein as “Family Members and Affiliates.”

Chevron Transactions

From time to time, Chevron may engage in transactions in Chevron securities. It is Chevron’s policy to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws (including obtaining approvals by the Board of Directors or appropriate Committee, if required) when Chevron is engaging in transactions in Chevron securities.

Responsibility

Chevron Personnel are responsible for compliance with the letter and intent of this policy. Without regard to the civil or criminal penalties that may be imposed by others, any individual who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

Chevron Personnel are encouraged to report any suspected activity or violation of this policy to Chevron’s Chief Compliance Officer and/or any member of senior management. Reports can also be made by calling Chevron’s Hotline at [phone number] (in the U.S. or Canada) or [phone number] (in all other international locations).

Heads of employing organizations (including country Managing Directors, Business Unit General Managers as well as Presidents of operating companies) should ensure that their employees are aware of their obligations under this policy and should provide specific guidance for its application to their organization’s individual operations. All employees should periodically review this policy’s content.

Each Director, Global Leadership Forum member and other employee subject to the Trading Window Period is responsible for observing the Insider Trading Policy and Compliance Procedures established by the Corporate Governance Department to ensure compliance with reporting requirements (as applicable), to help prevent any inadvertent violations of U.S. securities laws, and to avoid even the appearance of trading on inside information.

Further Guidance

Please see Section 2 of the Manual of Compliance Procedures and Guidelines for further guidance and detail. As a practical matter, before engaging in any transaction, err on the side of caution. If in doubt as to whether to engage in any transaction, Chevron Personnel are encouraged to seek professional advice and to discuss prospective transactions with the Corporate Governance Department.

This policy also applies to (1) any entities employees or their family members control, such as partnerships, trusts and corporations, and (2) brokerage accounts maintained for the benefit of employees or their family members if anyone has discretion over the accounts. Employees are responsible for the transactions of these other individuals and entities and therefore should make them aware of the need to confer with the employee before they transact in Chevron securities.

•Ultimately, employees must avoid situations where their actions could reasonably lead one to believe that they are using material, non-public information for their own personal profit or that of their family members, friends, or other persons or entities – whether or not this is the case.

•“Material information” is information that a reasonable investor would consider important when deciding to buy, sell or gift a company’s securities and/or information that could affect a company’s financial condition or stock price. Both positive and negative information can be material. Common examples of information that may be material include:

◦Projections of earnings or operational results, changes in such projections, or other financial guidance

◦Actual earnings or operational results, including profits or operational results by asset, business unit, or geographic region or financial restatements

◦Significant pending or prospective mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures, or other changes in company assets

◦Significant management changes or changes in control of Chevron

◦Updates regarding production and/or reserves

◦Updates regarding new assets, discoveries or exploration results

◦Major capital project milestones, work programs and project status

◦Capital expenditure and/or operating costs or plans, or significant changes to these expected costs or plans

◦A significant increase or decline in an important line of business or important new product lines, licenses or patents

◦A significant new business or strategic relationship or a significant change in, or the loss of, such a relationship

◦Beginning of, or developments in, major litigation, government or other investigations (including without limitation those related to significant operational incidents), or regulatory actions or proceedings

◦Assessments of a potentially significant data loss or other major cybersecurity breach or incident

◦Significant asset impairments

◦Dividend payments, dividend increases or decreases, a change in dividend policy, the declaration of a stock split, or a private or public offering of additional debt or equity securities (but not simply rollovers or replacements of existing debt on expected terms)

◦Implementation, increase, decrease or cessation of share buyback programs

◦Deterioration or improvement in Chevron’s credit status with rating agencies or the existence of liquidity problems

◦Change in auditors and agreements/disagreements with auditors

The foregoing are merely examples and should not be treated as an all-inclusive list. Depending on the circumstances, information about other events or about other possible changes or developments not listed above may also be regarded as material. If in doubt, employees should err on the side of caution and not engage in the transaction without first seeking legal guidance.

•Material information is “non-public” until it has been disclosed broadly to the marketplace and the investing public has had time to absorb and evaluate the information. Employees must safeguard material, non-public information from unauthorized use or disclosure prior to the release of the information to the public through appropriate channels, such as in an SEC filing (e.g., on a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or Form 8-K), on the quarterly earnings call or in a press release. Typically, drafts of documents containing material information are distributed internally for review before their release to the public. Employees are prohibited from trading in stock on the basis of this information. Employees who are aware of this information should circulate this information on a “need to know” basis only. Any other circulation or sharing of information in these documents is prohibited.

•Employees are required to understand their Policy 20 – Insider Trading responsibilities. Employees who have been notified that they must comply with certain trading window or blackout periods are subject to additional timing restrictions on trading in Chevron securities. In general, employees who are aware of material, non-public information may not complete a securities transaction until the first business day that is at least 24 hours after the time that the material, non-public information is publicly released. Further, employees who must comply with certain trading window or blackout periods under Policy 20 must cancel any Good ‘Til Cancelled orders during the periods in which trading is prohibited.

•For purposes of clarity, with respect to the following Chevron plans, employees are restricted from trading in Chevron securities when they are aware of material, non-public information, or when they are subject to a Trading Window Period or trading blackout period as described in Policy 20, in the following instances:

◦Stock Option Exercises: (1) the sale of shares as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option; and (2) any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price or tax withholding related to an option, as well as to the sale of the stock underlying the option. This restriction does not prohibit (a) the exercise of a stock option if employees pay the exercise price and tax withholding in cash and hold the underlying shares; (b) the withholding of shares by Chevron to satisfy tax withholding requirements; or (c) the receipt or vesting of stock options.

◦Restricted Stock Units: the sale of any shares underlying restricted share units awarded to employees. This restriction does not prohibit (1) the receipt or vesting of restricted stock units; or (2) the withholding of shares by Chevron to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

◦Deferred Compensation Plan: (1) the selection into or out of the Chevron stock fund as an investment election; (2) an increase or decrease of the percentage of an employee’s periodic contributions to the Chevron stock fund; and (3) an intra-plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of the Chevron stock account.

◦ESIP: (1) the selection into or out of the Chevron stock fund as an investment election; (2) an intra-plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of the Chevron stock fund; (3) an election to borrow money against or withdraw funds from an employee’s account if the loan or withdrawal will result in a liquidation of some or all of the employee’s Chevron stock fund; and (4) an election to prepay a plan loan if the prepayment will result in additional loan payments elected outside of regular payroll deductions and/or early payoffs of outstanding loan balances.

•With respect to the Deferred Compensation Plan and ESIP, this restriction does not prohibit continuing transactions in the Chevron stock fund that occur under an investment election that an employee made when the employee was not aware of material, non-public information or subject to a Trading Window Period or trading blackout period.

•Insider trading is a crime. Violation of insider trading laws may subject individuals to civil and criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment. No violation is too small. Your fellow employees and Chevron itself may also be subject to such penalties, even if they did not authorize or condone the wrongdoing. Violation of Policy 20 will also lead to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

Exhibit 99.1

DEFINITIONS OF SELECTED ENERGY TERMS

Acreage

Land leased for oil and gas exploration and production.

Additives

Specialty chemicals incorporated into fuels and lubricants that enhance the performance of the finished product.

Ambition

Includes aspirations, targets, guidance, objectives, metrics, and/or goals. Our ability to achieve any ambition, including those related to GHG emissions or climate-related initiatives as well as efforts concerning new businesses, is subject to numerous risks and contingencies, many of which are outside of Chevron’s control and persist. Examples of such risks and contingencies include: (1) sufficient and substantial advances in technology, including progress of commercially viable technologies and low- or non-carbon-based energy sources; (2) laws, governmental regulation, policies, and other enabling actions, including those regarding subsidies, tax and other incentives as well as the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities; (3) successful generation, acquisition, retirement and accounting of cost-effective, verifiable carbon offsets from nature-based solutions or carbon capture and storage; (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability-related standards; (5) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures; (6) evolving standards for tracking and reporting on emissions and emission reductions and removals; (7) customers’ and consumers’ preferences and use of the company’s products or substitute products; and (8) actions taken by the company’s competitors.

Barrels of oil-equivalent (BOE)

A unit of measure to quantify crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas amounts using the same basis. Natural gas volumes are converted to barrels on the basis of energy content. See oil-equivalent gas and production.

Carbon capture and storage and Carbon capture, utilization and storage

The process of capturing carbon dioxide emissions and either permanently storing them in geological formations deep underground (storage) or using them as a feedstock (utilization).

Carbon efficiency

The extent to which a given level of output is produced with fewer carbon emissions relative to average output.

Carbon intensity

The amount of carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e) per unit of measure.

Condensate

Hydrocarbons that are in a gaseous state at reservoir conditions, but when produced are in liquid state at surface conditions.

Development

Drilling, construction and related activities following discovery that are necessary to begin production and transportation of crude oil and/or natural gas.

Entitlement effects

The impact on Chevron’s share of net production and net proved reserves due to changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, and spending levels, between periods. Under PSCs and variable-royalty provisions of certain agreements, price and spend variability can increase or decrease royalty burdens and/or volumes attributable to the company. For example, at higher prices, fewer volumes are required for Chevron to recover its costs under certain PSCs. Also under certain PSCs, Chevron’s share of future profit oil and/or gas is reduced once specified contractual thresholds are met, such as a cumulative return on investment.

Exploration

Searching for crude oil and/or natural gas by utilizing geologic and topographical studies, geophysical and seismic surveys, and drilling of wells.

Gas-to-liquids (GTL)

A process that converts natural gas into high-quality liquid transportation fuels and other products.

E-7

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

Natural gas that is liquefied under extremely cold temperatures to facilitate storage or transportation in specially designed vessels.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

Light gases, such as butane and propane, that can be maintained as liquids while under pressure.

Lower carbon

A term describing environments, technologies, business sectors, markets, energy sources and mixes of energy sources, including oil and natural gas, among other things, characterized by or enabling the reduction of carbon emissions or carbon intensities.

Lower carbon energy

Energy sources and mixes of energy sources, including oil and natural gas, that, in their production and use, emit less carbon emissions or have lower carbon intensity than other forms.

Lower carbon intensity hydrogen

Includes specified hydrogen production pathways like steam methane reforming with carbon capture and storage and electrolysis with lower carbon power.

Lower carbon intensity oil, products and natural gas

Oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon-based products that are produced and sold to customers with a carbon intensity below that of traditional oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon-based products.

Natural gas liquids (NGLs)

Separated from natural gas, these include ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline.

Net reserves and resources

Chevron's interest share of oil and gas after removing royalty share and overriding royalties paid to others. Net includes any applicable Chevron-owned overriding royalties.

Oil-equivalent gas (OEG)

The volume of natural gas needed to generate the equivalent amount of heat as a barrel of crude oil. Approximately 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas is equivalent to one barrel of crude oil.

Oil sands

Naturally occurring mixture of bitumen (a heavy, viscous form of crude oil), water, sand and clay. Using hydroprocessing technology, bitumen can be refined to yield synthetic oil.

Petrochemicals

Compounds derived from petroleum. These include: aromatics, which are used to make plastics, adhesives, synthetic fibers and household detergents; and olefins, which are used to make packaging, plastic pipes, tires, batteries, household detergents and synthetic motor oils.

Portfolio carbon intensity (PCI)

Representation of the estimated energy-weighted average greenhouse gas emissions intensity from a simplified value chain from the production, refinement, distribution and end use of marketed energy products per unit of energy delivered.

Production

Total production refers to all the crude oil (including synthetic oil), NGLs and natural gas produced from a property. Net production is the company's share of total production after deducting both royalties paid to landowners and a government’s agreed-upon share of production under a production-sharing contract. Liquids production refers to crude oil, condensate, NGLs and synthetic oil volumes. Oil-equivalent production is the sum of the barrels of liquids and the oil-equivalent barrels of natural gas produced. See barrels of oil-equivalent, oil-equivalent gas and production-sharing contract.

Production-sharing contract (PSC)

An agreement between a government and a contractor (generally an oil and gas company) whereby production is shared between the parties in a prearranged manner. The contractor typically incurs all exploration, development and production

E-8

costs, which are subsequently recoverable out of an agreed-upon share of any future PSC production, referred to as cost recovery oil and/or gas. Any remaining production, referred to as profit oil and/or gas, is shared between the parties on an agreed-upon basis as stipulated in the PSC. The government may also retain a share of PSC production as a royalty payment, and the contractor typically owes income tax on its portion of the profit oil and/or gas. The contractor’s share of PSC oil and/or gas production and reserves varies over time, as it is dependent on prices, costs and specific PSC terms.

Refinery crude unit distillation utilization

Average feedstocks consumed in the crude unit in refineries for the year, expressed as a percentage of the refineries average annual crude unit capacity.

Reserves

Crude oil, NGLs and natural gas contained in underground rock formations called reservoirs and saleable hydrocarbons extracted from oil sands, shale, coalbeds and other nonrenewable natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas. Net proved reserves are the estimated quantities that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations and exclude royalties and interests owned by others. Estimates change as additional information becomes available. Oil-equivalent reserves are the sum of the liquids reserves and the oil-equivalent gas reserves. See barrels of oil-equivalent and oil-equivalent gas. The company discloses only net proved reserves in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reserves Replacement Ratio (RRR)

A ratio representing the net proved reserves changes within a defined period, divided by the production within the same period.

Resources

Estimated quantities of oil and gas resources are recorded under Chevron’s 6P system, which is modeled after the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Petroleum Resources Management System, and include quantities classified as proved, probable and possible reserves, plus those that remain contingent on commerciality. Unrisked resources, unrisked resource base and similar terms represent the arithmetic sum of the amounts recorded under each of these classifications. Recoverable resources, potentially recoverable volumes and other similar terms represent estimated remaining quantities that are forecast to be ultimately recoverable and produced in the future, adjusted to reflect the relative uncertainty represented by the various classifications. These estimates may change significantly as development work provides additional information. All of these measures are considered by management in making capital investment and operating decisions and may provide some indication to stockholders of the resource potential of oil and gas properties in which the company has an interest.

Shale gas

Natural gas produced from shale rock formations where the gas was sourced from within the shale itself. Shale is very fine-grained rock, characterized by low porosity and extremely low permeability. Production of shale gas normally requires formation stimulation such as the use of hydraulic fracturing (pumping a fluid-sand mixture into the formation under high pressure) to help produce the gas.

Synthetic oil

A marketable and transportable hydrocarbon liquid, resembling crude oil, that is produced by upgrading highly viscous or solid hydrocarbons, such as extra-heavy crude oil or oil sands.

Tight oil

Liquid hydrocarbons produced from shale (also referred to as shale oil) and other rock formations with extremely low permeability. As with shale gas, production from tight oil reservoirs normally requires formation stimulation such as hydraulic fracturing.

Unconventional oil and gas resources

Hydrocarbons contained in formations over very large areas with extremely low permeability that are not influenced by buoyancy. In contrast, conventional resources are contained within geologic structures/stratigraphy and float buoyantly over water. Unconventional resources include shale gas, coalbed methane, crude oil and natural gas from tight rock formations, tar sands, kerogen from oil shale, and gas hydrates that cannot commercially flow without well stimulation.

E-9

Wells

Oil and gas wells are classified as either exploration or development wells. Exploration wells are wells drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil and gas in another reservoir. Appraisal wells are exploration wells drilled to confirm the results of a discovery well. Delineation wells are exploration wells drilled to determine the boundaries of a productive formation or to delineate the extent of a find. Development wells are wells drilled in an existing reservoir in a proved oil- or gas-producing area. Completed wells are wells for which drilling work has been completed and that are capable of producing. Dry wells are wells completed as dry holes, that is, wells not capable of producing in commercial quantities.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your request, this report of third party presents an independent evaluation, as of December 31, 2025, of the net proved oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas reserves of certain properties in which Hess Corporation (Hess) has represented it holds an interest to determine the reasonableness of Hess’ estimates. This evaluation was completed on January 23, 2026. Hess has represented that these properties account for approximately 84 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of Hess’ net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2025, and that the net proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4-10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is our opinion that the procedures and methodologies employed by Hess for the preparation of its proved reserves estimates as of December 31, 2025, comply with the current requirements of the SEC. We have reviewed information provided by Hess that it represents to be Hess’ estimates of the net reserves, as of December 31, 2025, for the same properties as those which we evaluated. Hess is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (Chevron). This report was prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in Item 1202 (a)(8) of Regulation S–K and is to be used for inclusion in certain SEC filings by Chevron.

Reserves estimates included herein are expressed as net reserves as represented by Hess. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum remaining to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2025. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests held by Hess after deducting all interests held by others.

Certain properties evaluated herein are subject to the terms of production sharing contracts (PSC). The terms of these PSCs generally allow for working interest participants to be reimbursed for portions of capital costs and operational expenses

2

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

and to share in the profits. The reimbursements and profit proceeds are converted to a barrel of oil equivalent or standard cubic foot of gas equivalent by dividing by product prices to estimate the “entitlement quantities.” These entitlement quantities are equivalent in principle to net reserves and are used to calculate an equivalent net share, termed an “entitlement interest.” In this report, Hess’ net reserves or interest for the properties subject to these PSCs is the entitlement based on Hess’ working interest.

Estimates of reserves should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.

Information used in the preparation of this report was obtained from Hess. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon information furnished by Hess with respect to the property interests being evaluated, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

Definition of Reserves

Petroleum reserves estimated by Hess included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated for this report. Reserves classifications used by Hess in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using established production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:

Proved oil and gas reserves – Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions,

3

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

4

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Developed oil and gas reserves – Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Undeveloped oil and gas reserves – Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same

5

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.4–10(a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Methodology and Procedures

Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC and with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled “Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (revised June 2019) Approved by the SPE Board on 25 June 2019” and in Monograph 3 and Monograph 4 published by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers. The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history.

Based on the current stage of field development, production performance, the development plan provided by Hess, and analyses of areas offsetting existing wells with test or production data, reserves were classified as proved. The proved undeveloped reserves estimates were based on opportunities identified in the plan of development provided by Hess.

Hess has represented that its senior management is committed to the development plan provided by Hess and that Hess has the financial capability to execute the development plan, including the drilling and completion of wells and the installation of equipment and facilities.

For the evaluation of unconventional reservoirs, a performance-based methodology integrating the appropriate geology and petroleum engineering data was utilized for this report. Performance-based methodology primarily includes (1) production diagnostics, (2) decline-curve analysis, and (3) model-based analysis (if necessary, based on availability of data). Production diagnostics include data quality control, identification of flow regimes, and characteristic well performance behavior. These analyses were performed for all well groupings (or type-curve areas).

Characteristic rate-decline profiles from diagnostic interpretation were translated to modified hyperbolic rate profiles, including one or multiple b-exponent values followed by an exponential decline. Based on the availability of data, model-based analysis may be integrated to

6

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

evaluate long-term decline behavior, the effect of dynamic reservoir and fracture parameters on well performance, and complex situations sourced by the nature of unconventional reservoirs.

When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and original gas in place (OGIP). Structure maps were prepared to delineate each reservoir, and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material-balance methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.

Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP and OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors based on an analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and reservoir fluid properties.

For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production as defined under the Definition of Reserves heading of this report or the expiration of the fiscal agreement, as appropriate.

In certain cases, reserves were estimated by incorporating elements of analogy with similar wells or reservoirs for which more complete data were available.

In the evaluation of undeveloped reserves, type-well analysis was performed using well data from analogous reservoirs for which more complete historical performance data were available.

Data provided by Hess from wells drilled through December 1, 2025, and made available for this evaluation were used to prepare the reserves estimates herein. These reserves estimates were based on consideration of monthly production data available for most properties only through August 2025. Estimated cumulative production, as of December 31, 2025, was deducted from the estimated gross ultimate recovery to estimate gross reserves. This required that production be estimated for 4 months.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

Oil and condensate reserves estimated herein are to be recovered by normal field separation. NGL reserves estimated herein include pentanes and heavier fractions (C5+) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which consists primarily of propane and butane fractions, and are the result of low-temperature plant processing. Oil, condensate, and NGL reserves included in this report are expressed in millions of barrels (106bbl). In these estimates, 1 barrel equals 42 United States gallons. For reporting purposes, oil and condensate reserves have been estimated separately and are presented herein as a summed quantity.

Gas quantities estimated herein are expressed as marketable gas and fuel gas. Marketable gas is defined as the total gas produced from the reservoir after reduction for shrinkage resulting from field separation; processing, including removal of the nonhydrocarbon gas to meet pipeline specifications; and flare and other losses but not from fuel usage. Fuel gas is defined as that portion of the gas consumed in field operations. Gas reserves estimated herein are reported as marketable gas reserves; therefore, fuel gas is included as reserves. Gas quantities are expressed at a temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and at a pressure base of 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute (psia). Gas quantities included in this report are expressed in billions of cubic feet (109ft3).

Gas quantities are identified by the type of reservoir from which the gas will be produced. Nonassociated gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions with no oil present in the reservoir. Associated gas includes both gas-cap gas and solution gas. Gas-cap gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions and is in communication with an underlying oil zone. Solution gas is gas dissolved in oil at initial reservoir conditions. Gas quantities estimated herein include both associated and nonassociated gas.

At the request of Hess, marketable gas reserves estimated herein were converted to oil equivalent using an energy equivalent factor of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per 1 barrel of oil equivalent.

Primary Economic Assumptions

This report has been prepared using initial prices, expenses, and costs provided by Hess in United States dollars (U.S.$). Future prices were estimated using guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The following economic assumptions were used for estimating the reserves reported herein:

8

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

Oil and Condensate Prices

Hess has represented that the oil and condensate prices were based on a reference price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The 12-month average reference prices used were U.S.$65.34 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate and U.S.$69.51 per barrel for Brent. Hess supplied differentials by field to the relevant reference prices and the prices were held constant thereafter. The volume-weighted average price attributable to the estimated proved reserves over the lives of the independently evaluated properties was U.S.$64.64 per barrel of oil and condensate.

NGL Prices

Hess has represented that the NGL prices were based on a reference price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The volume-weighted average price attributable to the estimated proved reserves over the lives of the independently evaluated properties was U.S.$18.42 per barrel of NGL.

Gas Prices

Hess has represented that gas prices were based on reference prices, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The 12-month average reference price for NYMEX was U.S.$3.41 per million Btu. The gas prices were adjusted for each property using differentials to the NYMEX reference price furnished by Hess and held constant thereafter. The volume-weighted average price attributable to the estimated proved reserves over the lives of the independently evaluated properties was U.S.$2.38 per thousand cubic feet of gas.

Operating Expenses, Capital Costs, and Abandonment Costs

Estimates of operating expenses, provided by Hess and based on existing economic conditions, were held constant for the lives of the properties. Future capital expenditures were estimated using 2025 values, provided by Hess, and were not adjusted for inflation. In certain cases, future expenditures, either higher or lower than current expenditures, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions, but no general escalation that might result from inflation was applied. Abandonment costs, which are those costs associated with the removal of equipment, plugging of wells, and reclamation and restoration associated with the abandonment, were provided by Hess and were not adjusted for inflation. Operating expenses, capital costs, and abandonment costs were considered, as appropriate, in determining the economic viability of the undeveloped reserves.

In our opinion, the information relating to estimated proved reserves of oil, condensate, NGL, and gas contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Paragraphs 932-235-50-4, 932-235-50-6, 932-235-50-7, and 932-235-50-9 of the Accounting Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the FASB and Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X and Rules 302(b), 1201, 1202(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (8), and 1203(a) of Regulation S–K of the SEC; provided, however, that estimates of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves are not presented at the beginning of the year.

To the extent the above-enumerated rules, regulations, and statements require determinations of an accounting or legal nature, we, as engineers, are necessarily unable to express an opinion as to whether the above-described information is in accordance therewith or sufficient therefor.

Summary of Conclusions

DeGolyer and MacNaughton has performed an independent evaluation of the extent of the estimated net proved oil, condensate, NGL, and gas reserves of certain properties in which Hess has represented it holds an interest. Hess has represented that its estimated net proved reserves attributable to the evaluated properties were based on the definition of proved reserves of the SEC. Hess’ estimates of the net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2025, attributable to these properties, which represent approximately 84 percent of Hess’ proved reserves on a net equivalent basis, are summarized as follows, expressed in millions of barrels (106bbl), billions of cubic feet (109ft3), and millions of barrels of oil equivalent (106boe):

Estimated by Hess<br><br>Net Proved Reserves as of December 31, 2025
Oil and Condensate<br><br>(106bbl) NGL (106bbl) Marketable<br><br>Gas<br><br>(109ft3) Oil Equivalent<br><br>(106boe)
United States 344 257 1,026 772
Guyana 313 0 174 342
Malaysia 1 0 55 11
Total 658 257 1,255 1,125
Notes:<br><br>1. Marketable gas reserves estimated herein were converted to oil equivalent using an energy equivalent factor of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per 1 barrel of oil equivalent.<br><br>2. Net proved fuel gas reserves included as a portion of marketable gas reserves were estimated to be 179,609 109ft3.<br><br>3. The evaluated United States properties consist of Hess’ working interest in the North Dakota Bakken asset.<br><br>4. The evaluated Guyana properties consists of Hess’ working interest in certain fields within the Stabroek Block.<br><br>5. The evaluated Malaysia properties consists of Hess’ working interest in certain fields within the North Malay Basin.

In comparing the detailed net proved reserves estimates by field prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton and by Hess, differences have been found, both positive and negative, resulting in an aggregate difference of less than 1 percent when compared on the basis of net equivalent barrels. It is DeGolyer and MacNaughton’s opinion that the total net proved reserves estimates prepared by Hess, as of December 31, 2025, on the properties evaluated and referred to above, when compared on the basis of net equivalent barrels, do not differ materially from those prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton.

Hess’ oil and gas reserves were estimated assuming the continuation of the current regulatory environment. Changes in the regulatory environment by host

11

DeGolyer and MacNaughton

governments may affect the operating environment and oil and gas reserves estimates of industry participants. Such regulatory changes could include increased mandatory government participation in producing contracts, changes in royalty terms, cancellation or amendment of contract rights, or expropriation or nationalization of property. While the oil and gas industry is subject to regulatory changes that could affect an industry participant’s ability to recover its reserves, neither we nor Hess are aware of any such governmental actions which restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2025, estimated reserves.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm that has been providing petroleum consulting services throughout the world since 1936. DeGolyer and MacNaughton does not have any financial interest, including stock ownership, in Hess. Our fees were not contingent on the results of our evaluation. This report has been prepared at the request of Hess. DeGolyer and MacNaughton has used all data, procedures, assumptions, and methods that it considers necessary to prepare this report.
