Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX), an energy manufacturing and logistics company, announces second-quarter 2017 earnings of $550 million, compared with $535 million in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding special items, adjusted earnings were $569 million, compared with first-quarter adjusted earnings of $294 million.

“We delivered good operating performance, generated strong cash flow and made significant progress in several growth initiatives during the quarter,” said Greg Garland, chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. “The Bakken Pipeline and new storage capacity at the Beaumont Terminal were placed into service, and CPChem reached mechanical completion of two polyethylene units as part of its U.S. Gulf Coast Petrochemicals Project. Additionally, the Billings Refinery completed an advantaged crude project to enhance returns. The completion of these projects improves our future earnings and cash generation capability.”

“In the quarter, we raised our dividend by 11 percent and increased share repurchases, returning $741 million to shareholders. In our first five years as a company, we have increased the dividend at a 30 percent compound annual growth rate and have repurchased or exchanged 131 million shares, representing more than 20 percent of our initial shares outstanding.”

Midstream's second-quarter earnings were $59 million, compared with $77 million in the first quarter of 2017. Midstream earnings in the second quarter of 2017 included a $5 million charge for pension settlement expense.

Transportation net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $74 million, down $4 million from first-quarter net income of $78 million. This decrease was primarily due to seasonally higher maintenance costs, partially offset by improved volumes.

NGL second-quarter adjusted net income of $14 million was $3 million lower than first-quarter adjusted net income of $17 million, mainly reflecting turnaround impacts at equity-owned fractionators and seasonally lower propane sales. These items were partially offset by improved results at the Sweeny Hub.

The company’s equity investment in DCP Midstream generated net income of $13 million in the second quarter, compared with $17 million in the prior quarter. This decrease reflects lower commodity prices as well as increased operating and maintenance costs, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a non-core gathering system.

 

Chemicals

The Chemicals segment reflects Phillips 66's equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). Chemicals' second-quarter earnings were $196 million, compared with $181 million in the first quarter of 2017. Chemicals' earnings in the first quarter of 2017 included a charge of $20 million related to an impairment of a CPChem joint venture.

CPChem's O&P business contributed $179 million of earnings to Chemicals' second-quarter results. The $18 million increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to improved margins and higher volumes. Global O&P utilization was 98 percent, up from 89 percent in the first quarter.

CPChem's SA&S business contributed $21 million of adjusted earnings in the second quarter, a decrease of $24 million from the prior quarter. The decrease primarily reflects lower equity earnings as a result of lower margins and unplanned downtime, as well as a $10 million gain recorded in the first quarter on the sale of CPChem's K-Resin® SBC business.

 

Refining

Refining's second-quarter earnings were $224 million, compared with $259 million in the first quarter of 2017. Second-quarter earnings included pension settlement expense of $22 million, partially offset by an insurance claim reimbursement of $13 million. Refining's earnings in the first quarter of 2017 included a $261 million gain resulting from the consolidation of the MSLP petroleum coking venture following the resolution of an ownership dispute.

Refining's adjusted earnings were $233 million in the second quarter. The $235 million improvement from the prior quarter was largely driven by higher volumes and lower costs due to reduced turnaround activity. Realized margins for the quarter were $8.44 per barrel, compared with $8.55 per barrel in the first quarter. Phillips 66’s worldwide crude utilization rate was 98 percent, up from 84 percent in the prior quarter. Pre-tax turnaround costs for the second quarter were $154 million, compared with first-quarter costs of $299 million. Clean product yield was 85 percent in the second quarter, unchanged from the first quarter.

Marketing and Specialties (M&S) second-quarter earnings were $214 million, compared with $141 million in the first quarter of 2017. M&S's second-quarter earnings included a charge of $4 million for pension settlement expense.

Adjusted earnings for Marketing and Other were $185 million in the second quarter, an increase of $61 million. The increase was largely due to higher realized margins and volumes, reflecting seasonal demand. Refined product exports in the second quarter were 179,000 barrels per day (BPD), up from 144,000 BPD in the prior quarter.

Phillips 66’s Specialties businesses generated earnings of $33 million during the second quarter. The $16 million increase from the prior quarter was mainly due to higher equity earnings from the Excel Paralubes joint venture, driven by improved base oil margins.

As of June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 billion, and consolidated debt was $10.0 billion, including $2.3 billion at Phillips 66 Partners (PSXP).

Excluding PSXP, the debt-to-capital ratio was 26 percent and net-debt-to-capital ratio was 20 percent.

Strategic Update

Phillips 66 reached significant investment milestones during the second quarter as major capital projects were completed in Midstream, Chemicals and Refining.

In Midstream, Phillips 66 has a 25 percent interest in joint ventures that own the 520,000 BPD Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline. Commercial operations started during the second quarter.

At the company's Beaumont Terminal, 1.2 million barrels of product storage was placed in service during the quarter. An additional 2.2 million barrels of crude storage is planned to be in service in the second half of 2018. Expansion of the terminal's export facilities, from a current capacity of 400,000 BPD to 600,000 BPD, is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2018.

Phillips 66 Partners is advancing its organic growth program. Progress continues on the Bayou Bridge Pipeline segment from Lake Charles to St. James, Louisiana, with commercial operations expected to begin in the first quarter of 2018.

DCP Midstream is expanding the Sand Hills NGL Pipeline capacity from 280,000 BPD to 365,000 BPD, with an expected in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2017. In addition, DCP announced plans to further expand the line to approximately 450,000 BPD. Sand Hills is owned two-thirds by DCP and one-third by Phillips 66 Partners. DCP is also expanding its footprint in the DJ Basin with construction of the Mewbourn 3 gas processing plant, which is expected to start up in the fourth quarter of 2018.

CPChem completed a major milestone of its U.S. Gulf Coast Petrochemicals Project as the two 1.1-billion-pound-per-year polyethylene derivative units reached mechanical completion in June. The ethane cracker is expected to be mechanically complete in the fourth quarter of 2017. This project will increase CPChem's global ethylene and polyethylene capacity by approximately one-third.

In Refining, the company increased its heavy crude processing capability at the Billings Refinery to 100 percent with the startup of a new vacuum distillation unit. At both the Bayway and Wood River refineries, the company is modernizing fluid catalytic cracking units to increase clean product yield. Both projects are expected to be complete in the first half of 2018. Phillips 66 is also implementing yield improvement efforts at several other refineries, including Ponca City, where a diesel recovery project is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2017.
