The facts

  1. Diluted earnings per share were US$3.72 under US GAAP and US$4.23 on the company's adjusted non-GAAP basis. Adjusted earnings were US$17.5 billion. [1]

  2. Quarterly operating cash flow was US$25.7 billion and reported free cash flow US$19.1 billion. Shareholder distributions were US$9.4 billion: US$4.3 billion in dividends and US$5.1 billion in repurchases. [1]

  3. The planned 2027 repurchases assume reasonable market conditions; they are not completed purchases. The board declared a US$1.07 fourth-quarter dividend, payable on 10 December to holders of record on 16 November. [1]

  4. Reuters reported that stronger refining margins supported the new results amid the Middle East war and strikes on Russian refineries. This is the wire's attributed market context, not an independently calculated war-profit allocation. [2]

Still unconfirmed

  • Execution of the conditional 2027 repurchase programme and subsequent operating results.
