Note 8. Financial and derivative instruments
Financial instruments
The fair value of the company’s financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other appropriate valuation techniques. There are no material differences between the fair value of the company’s financial instruments and the recorded carrying value. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of long-term debt ($3,447
Derivative instruments
The company’s size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of its business segments reduce the company’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line "Revenues" and in the Consolidated statement of cash flows in "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities". The company’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting.
Credit risk associated with the company’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The company maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.
The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments was:

Note 11. Miscellaneous financial information
Restructuring charges
On September 29, 2025, the company announced restructuring plans to improve its performance by centralizing additional corporate and technical activities in global business and technology centres. The restructuring plans include a program of targeted workforce reductions. The program, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2027, involves involuntary employee separations. In the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded charges of $330 million, before-tax, consisting primarily of restructuring costs associated with announced workforce reduction programs. These costs were captured in "Selling and general" on the Consolidated statement of income and reported in the Corporate and other segment.
The following table summarizes the reserves and charges related to the workforce reduction program, which are recorded in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and "Other long-term obligations" on the Consolidated balance sheet.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Recent business environment
During the first quarter of 2026, the price of crude oil increased relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread widened. Geopolitical events in the Middle East and increasing supply uncertainty continued to drive volatility in crude oil prices and heavy crude differentials. Industry refining margins improved in the first quarter of 2026, impacted by industry supply outages.
During 2025, the United States implemented and adjusted a variety of trade-related measures, including tariffs on certain imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Based on Imperial's assessment of these actions and their effects to date, the company does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Operating results

(b)On June 23, 2025, the company announced by news release that it had received final approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange for a new normal course issuer bid to continue its then-existing share purchase program.

This maximum included shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid from Exxon Mobil Corporation. As in the past, Exxon Mobil Corporation advised the company that it intended to participate to maintain its ownership percentage at approximately 69.6 percent. Imperial accelerated share purchases under the normal course issuer bid program, and the program completed on December 17, 2025 as a result of the company purchasing the maximum allowable number of shares under the program.
