The company's use of LIFO accounting and derivative hedging in a rising price environment is expected to cause a multi-billion dollar negative impact on Q1 earnings, primarily in the Downstream segment. This compresses margins and creates pressure to find operational efficiencies to offset the accounting-driven profit reduction.
Filing excerpt
In a rising commodity price environment, timing effects are generally negative, which the Company expects to adversely affect first quarter 2026 earnings and cash flow from operations excluding working capital by approximately $2.7 to $3.7 billion.
