EXHIBIT 99.1
2Q 2026 Earnings Considerations
To give perspective regarding market and planned factors affecting 2Q 2026 results, we are providing the following summary of items management believes will impact 2Q 2026 results relative to 1Q 2026 results. These factors are generally limited to significant planned activities, market dynamics, and seasonal demand patterns. This quarter includes factors associated with the ongoing situation in the Middle East and related disruptions. This is only intended to provide information regarding current estimates of these factors. It is not comprehensive of all changes between 1Q 2026 and 2Q 2026 results and is not an estimate of 2Q 2026 earnings for the Corporation. For example, the table below does not reflect operating performance; ongoing improvement initiatives; impacts from the seasonality of base operating expenses; unscheduled downtime; or foreign exchange fluctuation, among other factors. Further, this list may not account for all adjustments and charges required to fully reflect the changes in industry conditions and are subject to finalization of the Corporation’s financial reporting process for 2Q 2026.

Accounting for estimated timing effects:
Physical shipments of hydrocarbons and finished products are often hedged using financial derivatives in the normal course of business. At the end of each quarter, accounting standards require open financial derivatives to be marked to current period-end prices (typically referred to as “mark to market”) with the corresponding value reflected in current period earnings. The associated physical shipments are not marked to current period-end prices but valued on the balance sheet in inventory based on LIFO accounting rules. As a result, unlike the financial derivatives, the value of the physical shipment is not reflected in earnings until the transaction is complete. This mismatch between the valuation of the financial derivatives and the associated physical transaction results in a timing difference in earnings that unwinds over subsequent quarters consistently delivering a net profit. LIFO valuation also drives timing differences between the accounting recognition of the settlement of the derivatives and their offsetting physical shipments. Together, these are referred to as timing effects.
In periods of rising prices, the timing effects are typically negative, while in periods of decreasing prices, the timing effects are typically positive. Importantly, excluding timing impacts, these trading and optimization activities have consistently delivered positive earnings to the Corporation. Crude and products trading activity, which accounted for the majority of timing impacts in the second quarter, is included in the Energy Products segment. Natural gas related impacts are included in the Upstream segment.
1 Other Middle East impacts include incremental expenses directly attributable to regional conflicts, as well as losses on settled financial hedges that were not offset by the associated physical shipments due to supply disruptions in the Middle East. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2 Change in liquids price includes impacts from the change in crude, condensate, and NGL realizations at prior period sales volumes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 Change in gas price includes impacts from the change in natural gas realizations (including LNG) at prior period sales volumes and settled gas trading. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
4 Changes in margins are estimated market effects on crude and petroleum products, specialty products, and chemicals at prior period volumes which include market impacts on trading in the respective segments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5 Volume related disruptions from Middle East events include impacts from production disruptions, shutdowns, and lower availability of crude deliveries impacting global manufacturing operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Risk Factors of our most recent Annual and Quarterly Reports available on the Investors page of our website at www.exxonmobil.com. All forward-looking statements and the assumptions in this filing speak only as of the date hereof.

Adjusted earnings (loss) represent earnings (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events, typically those with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $250 million in a given quarter, and estimated timing effects. The earnings (loss) impact of a significant event (referred to as an Identified Item) for an individual segment in a given quarter may be less than $250 million when the event impacts several segments or several periods. Adjusted earnings (loss) exclude estimated timing effects to better reflect the way ExxonMobil management internally measures performance and manages the economic exposure of physical commodity contracts and their associated derivatives, as opposed to the way those activities are recognized and measured under U.S. GAAP. Estimated timing impacts are expected to unwind in subsequent periods. Management uses adjusted earnings (loss) to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events and estimated timing effects from business results. The Corporation believes this view provides investors with increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Adjusted earnings (loss) is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to ExxonMobil as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In accordance with Regulation FD, we are hereby providing notice the Company currently intends to furnish its 2Q 2026 financial results both (1) by posting them on our website at www.exxonmobil.com and (2) in a filing on Form 8-K in the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR system, each at approximately 5:30 a.m. CT Friday, July 31, 2026. In the event the EDGAR system experiences technical difficulties, or the Company is unable to successfully complete its 8-K filing at the intended time, investors and the public should look for this information at that time on our website. In case of a failed filing, the Company intends to furnish the information on EDGAR as soon as possible after 5:30 a.m. CT Friday, July 31, 2026.
