Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MARCH  2016

To Our Shareholders,

Phillips 66 achieved major project development milestones during 
2015 while sustaining a high level of operating excellence.

Thanks to our 14,000 dedicated employees, 
we performed well in 2015, both financially 
and operationally. Our company delivered 
a 14 percent return on capital employed 
(ROCE), returned $2.7 billion of capital 
to shareholders, invested $5.8 billion in 
its future, including a $1.5 billion equity 
contribution to DCP Midstream, and 
generated adjusted earnings of $4.2 billion, 
up 11 percent over the prior year.

Despite volatile global energy markets, 
Phillips 66 is maintaining its approach to 
capital allocation and continues to execute 
its strategy. With four integrated businesses, 

a diverse portfolio of assets and resilient 
cash flow, Phillips 66 is able to capitalize  
on investment opportunities across the 
value chain. 

Our most important focus remains  
operating excellence, which drives 
us to continuously improve in safety, 
environmental stewardship, reliability  
and cost efficiency. In 2015, Phillips 66 
achieved first-quartile performance for  
both combined total recordable rate and  
lost workday case rate. We are determined 
to be the industry’s safest, most reliable  
and efficient company.

STRATEGIC  PLATFORMS

In Midstream, we completed significant 
strategic projects while creating new 
platforms for growth. Our Chemicals 
business continued its expansion,  
capturing the benefit of low-cost 
petrochemical feedstocks. Driven by  
strong market conditions, Refining  
delivered its best earnings performance 
since 2012. Marketing and Specialties 
posted healthy earnings, capitalizing on 
favorable global margins.

Midstream, the primary focus of the 
company’s growth, consists of our natural 
gas liquids (NGL) and transportation 
businesses, Phillips 66 Partners (our  
master limited partnership), and a  
50 percent interest in DCP Midstream, 
one of the nation’s largest natural gas 
processors and NGL producers.

In 2015, Midstream generated $248 million 
of adjusted earnings. With new organic 
growth projects now online and others 
starting up later in 2016 and 2017, we 
expect to significantly increase Midstream’s 
earnings by 2018. 

Phillips 66 Partners owns, operates, 
develops and acquires fee-based crude 
oil, refined petroleum products, and NGL 
pipelines, terminals and other facilities. The 
partnership provides a cost-efficient way to 
fund growth in Midstream infrastructure. 

At year-end, Phillips 66 owned a 69 percent 
limited partner interest in Phillips 66 
Partners as well as the 2 percent general 
partner interest. We contributed assets 
valued at more than $1 billion to the 
partnership during 2015.

PHILLIPS 66  2015 ANNUAL REPORT

3/7/16   3:42 PM

DCP Midstream and its master limited 
partnership, DCP Midstream Partners, 
completed projects during 2015 that 
increased their natural gas processing 
capacity to approximately 8.0 billion 
standard cubic feet per day. DCP Midstream 
continues to work on reducing costs and 
converting contracts to fee-based structures 
to improve its financial strength. In the fourth 
quarter, Phillips 66 and Spectra Energy, the 
joint venture owners, contributed cash and 
operating assets to strengthen the balance 
sheet of DCP Midstream and better position 
it to grow through future commodity cycles.

BUILDING  A  WORLD-CLASS  MIDSTREAM  
ENERGY  COMPLEX

Across our Midstream business, we have a 
portfolio of growth projects just completed  
or under construction. 

On the U.S. Gulf Coast, Phillips 66 is building 
an energy complex that connects refining, 
NGL fractionation, storage and export 
capabilities. This hub is designed with 
pipeline connectivity to production areas and 
market centers to provide us with options on 
feedstock and product placement. 

In December 2015, we began operating our 
new 100,000 barrels-per-day (BPD) NGL 
fractionator in Old Ocean, Texas. It supplies 
ethane and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) 
to the petrochemical industry and heating 
markets, and is supported by 250 miles of 
new pipelines and new multimillion barrel 
storage caverns. A 25 percent interest in the 
NGL fractionator, associated caverns and 
ancillary facilities, valued at approximately 
$235 million, was contributed to Phillips 66 
Partners during the first quarter of 2016. 

In Texas, our 150,000 BPD Freeport LPG 
Export Terminal, scheduled for startup in 
the second half of 2016, will help us meet 
the growing global market demand for LPG. 
Additional projects, such as expanding our 

Beaumont Terminal in Nederland, Texas, 
are underway for the U.S. Gulf Coast region 
to increase storage capacity and enhance 
connectivity to several major pipelines. 

Phillips 66 owns a 25 percent interest in  
two joint ventures that are constructing a 
long-haul pipeline system from North Dakota 
to the Gulf Coast, with startup expected 
in the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, 
Phillips 66 Partners is developing projects 
for crude oil gathering and rail-loading 
systems in North Dakota. The Palermo  
Rail Terminal began operating in the fourth 
quarter, with the first unit train of crude  
oil loaded in December. 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Phillips 66 
Partners acquired Phillips 66’s 40 percent 
interest in the Bayou Bridge Pipeline project, 
which will deliver crude oil from terminals 
in Nederland (including our Beaumont 
Terminal) to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and 
then on to St. James, Louisiana. The first 
leg of the pipeline should begin commercial 
operations during the first quarter of 2016. 

CAPTURING  GROWTH  OPPOR TUNITIES   
IN CHEMICALS

We continue to invest in our high-return 
Chemicals business, which consists of our 
50 percent equity investment in Chevron 
Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem), the 
world’s largest producer of high-density 
polyethylene. Global demand for ethylene, 
propylene and polyethylene continues to 
grow, and CPChem’s primary assets are in 
the two most cost-advantaged regions of the 
world: North America and the Middle East. 

Full-year Chemicals adjusted earnings were 
$952 million, compared with $1.2 billion 
in 2014. CPChem’s Olefins and Polyolefins 
(O&P) global capacity utilization rate for 
2015 was 91 percent. The 2015 adjusted 
ROCE for the business was 19 percent.  

Across our 
expanding 
Midstream 
business, we 
have a portfolio 
of organic, high-
quality growth 
projects.

PHILLIPS 66 2015 ANNUAL REPORTCPChem is in the midst of a large capital 
development project on the U.S. Gulf Coast. 
It is constructing a 3.3 billion-pounds-per-
year ethane cracker at its Cedar Bayou 
facility in Baytown, Texas, and two  
1.1 billion-pounds-per-year polyethylene 
facilities in Old Ocean, Texas. More than  
70 percent complete as of Jan. 31, 2016, 
the approximately $6 billion project is 
expected to begin operating in mid-2017  
and will increase CPChem’s global ethylene 
and polyethylene capacity by approximately  
30 percent. 

ENHANCING  REFINING  RETURNS  

Phillips 66’s Refining segment is a 
significant competitor in the domestic 
fuels industry, with 11 of the company’s 
14 refineries located in the United States. 
Globally, the business has a refining  
capacity of 2.2 million BPD. 

In 2015, Refining’s adjusted ROCE  
was 19 percent, reflecting our ability 
to capture strong market conditions. 
To enhance Refining returns, we are 
maintaining cost and capital discipline, 
expanding access to Gulf Coast export 
markets, optimizing feedstock costs and 
improving product yields. 

Our Humber Refinery, located in the United 
Kingdom, completed a major turnaround 
during the year with zero process safety 
events and no shutdown or startup issues. 
Concurrent with this maintenance project, 
the Humber team replaced a 2.8 mile 
section of the Tetney Subsea Pipeline  
on time and under budget.

SERVING  OUR  CUSTOMERS

Our Marketing and Specialties segment 
generated adjusted ROCE of 35 percent 
in 2015. The company markets refined 
petroleum products in the United States 

under the Phillips 66, Conoco and 76 
brands, and in Europe through JET and  
Coop branded outlets. In the United States, 
we have a network of marketers operating 
about 6,700 outlets, and in Europe, there 
are more than 1,500 company-owned and 
dealer-owned sites. Phillips 66 continues to  
expand its marketing footprint in Germany, 
the U.K. and Austria.

Our Specialties business, which 
manufactures and sells lubricants, 
petroleum coke products, solvents and 
polypropylene to commercial and industrial 
customers worldwide, continues to grow. 
The Lubricants business completed the 
integration of Spectrum Corporation, a 
specialty lubricants blender, packager 
and marketer, which we acquired in 2014. 
Lubricants also achieved record base oil 
sales volumes in 2015 by optimizing base  
oil production at the Excel Paralubes Plant  
in Louisiana.

2015 FINANCIAL  PERFORMANCE  AND   
CAPITAL ALLOCATION

Full-year 2015 earnings were $4.2 billion,  
or $7.73 per share, compared with  
$4.8 billion, or $8.33 per share, in 2014. 
Adjusted earnings for the year were $4.2 
billion, or $7.67 per share, compared with 
$3.8 billion, or $6.62 per share, in 2014. 

In 2015, Phillips 66 generated $5.7 billion 
in cash from operations, and Phillips 66 
Partners issued $1.5 billion in debt and 
equity securities. These funds were used to 
invest $5.8 billion in capital spending, repay 
$800 million of debt, increase the dividend 
by 12 percent and return $2.7 billion to 
shareholders in the form of dividends and 
share repurchases. We ended the year with 
cash of $3.1 billion and a debt-to-capital 
ratio of 27 percent. 

Phillips 66 markets fuels 
and lubricants under 
these brands.

3/9/16   11:38 AM

Underpinned by a diversified cash flow  
and a strong balance sheet, Phillips 66 
is funding a $3.9 billion consolidated 
capital budget in 2016 as well as a growing 
dividend. Projects to be completed between 
now and 2018 will provide Phillips 66 with 
additional cash flow to fund growth and 
shareholder distributions. 

Approximately two-thirds of the 2016 
capital budget is for growth, mostly in the 
Midstream business, with about $400 
million allocated to Refining projects that will 
improve product yields and lower feedstock 
costs. The remainder of the capital to be 
spent this year is sustaining capital, primarily 
for investment in Refining reliability, safety 
and environmental projects.

During 2016, Phillips 66 plans double-digit  
growth in its regular dividends and to 
continue share repurchases. Since 2012, 
the company has increased quarterly 

dividends by 180 percent, reduced  
share count by over 15 percent, and 
returned $11.1 billion to shareholders 
through dividends, share repurchases  
and share exchange. 

CREATING  DIFFERENTIA TED VALUE

We believe that our investments across the 
business portfolio will generate significant 
EBITDA growth over the next several years. 
Phillips 66 Partners continues to deliver 
on its plan for a five-year, 30 percent 
distribution compound annual growth rate 
(CAGR) for unitholders through 2018. This 
growth will be driven by organic capital 
spending at the partnership, drop-down 
acquisitions of assets from Phillips 66 and 
selective third-party acquisitions.

Looking further into the future, we have 
a substantial backlog of high-quality 
Midstream projects to invest in, many of 
which will leverage our existing asset base.

PART I

Items 1 and 2.  BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Phillips 66, headquartered in Houston, Texas, was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 in connection with, and in 
anticipation of, a restructuring of ConocoPhillips resulting in the separation of its downstream businesses into an 
independent, publicly traded company named Phillips 66.  The two companies were separated by ConocoPhillips 
distributing to its stockholders all the shares of common stock of Phillips 66 after the market closed on April 30, 2012 
(the Separation).  On May 1, 2012, Phillips 66 stock began trading “regular-way” on the New York Stock Exchange under 
the “PSX” stock symbol.

Our business is organized into four operating segments: 

1)  Midstream—Gathers, processes, transports and markets natural gas; and transports, fractionates and markets 

natural gas liquids (NGL) in the United States.  In addition, this segment transports crude oil and other 
feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined and specialty products to market, and provides 
terminaling and storage services for crude oil and petroleum products.  The Midstream segment includes our 
master limited partnership, Phillips 66 Partners LP, as well as our 50 percent equity investment in DCP 
Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream).

2)  Chemicals—Manufactures and markets petrochemicals and plastics on a worldwide basis.  The Chemicals 

segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem).

3)  Refining—Buys, sells and refines crude oil and other feedstocks at 14 refineries, mainly in the United States and 

Europe.  

4)  Marketing and Specialties (M&S)—Purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products (such as 
gasolines, distillates and aviation fuels), mainly in the United States and Europe.  In addition, this segment 
includes the manufacturing and marketing of specialty products, as well as power generation operations.  

Corporate and Other includes general corporate overhead, interest expense, our investment in new technologies and 
various other corporate activities.  Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents. 

At December 31, 2015, Phillips 66 had approximately 14,000 employees.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

For operating segment and geographic information, see Note 26—Segment Disclosures and Related Information, in the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

MIDSTREAM

The Midstream segment consists of three business lines:

•  Transportation—transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other locations, delivers refined 
and specialty products to market, and provides terminaling and storage services for crude oil and petroleum 
products. 

•  DCP Midstream—gathers, processes, transports and markets natural gas and transports, fractionates and markets 

NGL. 

•  NGL—transports, fractionates and markets natural gas liquids. 

Phillips 66 Partners LP
In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners LP, a master limited partnership (MLP), to own, operate, develop and acquire 
primarily fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation 
and midstream assets.  At December 31, 2015, we owned a 69 percent limited partner interest and a 2 percent general 
partner interest in Phillips 66 Partners, while the public owned a 29 percent limited partner interest.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Phillips 66 Partners’ assets and equity investments consist of crude oil, NGL and 
refined petroleum product pipelines, terminals, rail racks and storage systems that are geographically dispersed 
throughout the United States, most of which are integral to a Phillips 66-operated refinery. 

During 2015, Phillips 66 Partners expanded its business by acquiring from us:

•  One-third equity interests in DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC 
(Southern Hills), as well as a 19.5 percent equity interest in Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer).  This 
acquisition closed in March 2015.

•  A 40 percent equity interest in Bayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge).  This acquisition closed in 

December 2015. 

The operations and financial results of Phillips 66 Partners are included in either the Transportation or NGL business line, 
based on the nature of the activity within the partnership.

Transportation

We own or lease various assets to provide environmentally safe, strategic and timely delivery and terminaling and storage 
of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and NGL.  These assets include pipeline systems; petroleum product, crude oil 
and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) terminals; a petroleum coke handling facility; marine vessels; railcars and trucks.

Pipelines and Terminals
At December 31, 2015, our Transportation business managed over 18,000 miles of crude oil, natural gas, NGL and 
petroleum products pipeline systems in the United States, including those partially owned or operated by affiliates.  We 
owned or operated 39 finished product terminals, 37 storage locations, 5 LPG terminals, 16 crude oil terminals and 1 
petroleum coke exporting facility.  

During 2015, we continued to invest in our Beaumont Terminal, the largest terminal in the Phillips 66 portfolio, which 
currently has 4.7 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity and 2.4 million barrels of refined product storage capacity. 
As of December 31, 2015, we had 2.0 million barrels of incremental crude storage capacity under construction, which is 

2

expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.  In addition, we have initiated a variety of other projects aimed at 
increasing storage and throughput capabilities as we continue the expansion of the Beaumont terminal from its current 
7.1 million barrels of storage capacity to 16 million barrels. 

Construction progressed in 2015 on our two crude oil pipeline systems being developed by our joint ventures, Dakota 
Access LLC (DAPL) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCOP).  Phillips 66 owns a 25 percent interest in 
each joint venture, with our co-venturer holding the remaining 75 percent interest and acting as operator of both the 
DAPL and ETCOP pipeline systems.  The DAPL pipeline is expected to deliver 470,000 barrels per day of crude oil from 
the Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to market centers in the Midwest.  The DAPL pipeline will 
provide shippers with access to Midwestern refineries, unit-train rail loading facilities to facilitate deliveries to East Coast 
refineries, and the Gulf Coast market through an interconnection in Patoka, Illinois, with ETCOP pipeline.  The ETCOP 
pipeline will provide crude oil transportation service from the Midwest to the Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (Sunoco 
Logistics) and Phillips 66 storage terminals located in Nederland, Texas.  The pipelines are expected to be operational in 
fourth-quarter 2016. 

In the third quarter of 2015, Phillips 66 became a joint venture partner with a 40 percent equity interest in Bayou Bridge.  
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (ETP) and Sunoco Logistics each hold a 30 percent interest in the joint venture, with 
Sunoco Logistics serving as the operator.  The joint venture was formed for the funding and development of the Bayou 
Bridge pipeline.  The Bayou Bridge pipeline is a new-build 30” and 24” pipeline that will deliver crude oil from 
Nederland, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana and on to St. James, Louisiana.  Phillips 66 is constructing the segment to 
Lake Charles, which will be in service by the end of first-quarter 2016.  The remaining section of the pipeline, which will 
be constructed by ETP, is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2017. Effective December 1, 2015, Phillips 66 
Partners acquired Phillips 66’s 40 percent equity interest in Bayou Bridge.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Phillips 66 Partners commenced operation of the Palermo Rail Terminal, which is located 
on a 710-acre site near Palermo, North Dakota. The crude terminal has an initial capacity of 100,000 barrels per day, with 
the flexibility to be expanded to 200,000 barrels per day.  It is located on a railway with two mainline switches, allowing 
east- and west-bound deliveries. The terminal includes 6 truck unloading facilities and 206,000 barrels of operational 
storage, with permits allowing total storage capacity of up to 2.4 million barrels, as well as space for 6 additional truck 
unloading facilities.  The terminal is owned by the joint venture Phillips 66 Partners Terminal LLC, of which Phillips 66 
Partners holds a 70 percent interest, with Paradigm Energy Partners, LLC (Paradigm) owning the remaining 30 percent 
interest. Phillips 66 Partners is the operator.

In 2016, the Palermo Rail Terminal is anticipated to include a pipeline delivery and receipt connection to the 76-mile 
Sacagawea Pipeline, allowing the terminal to receive crude oil from areas in Dunn County and McKenzie County, North 
Dakota, and deliver it to terminals and pipelines located in Stanley, North Dakota.  The Sacagawea Pipeline is owned by 
the joint venture Sacagawea Pipeline Company, LLC, of which Paradigm Pipeline LLC holds an 88 percent interest, with 
the remaining 12 percent interest owned by Grey Wolf Midstream, LLC. Phillips 66 Partners and Paradigm each own a 
50 percent interest in Paradigm Pipeline LLC.  Paradigm is constructing the pipeline and Phillips 66 Partners will be the 
operator.

Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX)
We have a 25 percent interest in REX.  The REX natural gas pipeline runs 1,712 miles from Meeker, Colorado, to 
Clarington, Ohio, and has a natural gas transmission capacity of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day (BCFD), with most of its 
system having a pipeline diameter of 42 inches.  Numerous compression facilities support the pipeline system.  The REX 
pipeline was originally designed to enable natural gas producers in the Rocky Mountain region to deliver natural gas 
supplies to the Midwest and eastern regions of the United States.  During 2015, as a result of east-to-west expansion 
projects, the REX Pipeline began transporting natural gas supplies from the Appalachian Basin to Midwest markets.

Marine Vessels
At December 31, 2015, we had 12 double-hulled, international-flagged crude oil and product tankers under term charter, 
with capacities ranging in size from 300,000 to 1,100,000 barrels.  Additionally, we had under term charter three Jones 
Act compliant tankers and 66 tug/barge units.  These vessels are used primarily to transport feedstocks or provide product 
transportation for certain of our refineries, including delivery of domestic crude oil to our Gulf Coast and East Coast 
refineries.

Truck and Rail
Truck and rail operations support our feedstock and distribution operations.  Rail movements are provided via a fleet of 
more than 12,300 owned and leased railcars.  Truck movements are provided through approximately 170 third-party truck 
companies, as well as through Sentinel Transportation LLC, in which we hold a 20 percent equity interest. 

DCP Midstream

Our Midstream segment includes our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream, which is headquartered in Denver, 
Colorado.  As of December 31, 2015, DCP Midstream owned or operated 64 natural gas processing facilities, with a net 
processing capacity of approximately 8.0 BCFD.  DCP Midstream’s owned or operated natural gas pipeline systems 
included gathering services for these facilities, as well as natural gas transmission, and totaled approximately 68,000 
miles of pipeline.  DCP Midstream also owned or operated 12 NGL fractionation plants, along with natural gas and NGL 
storage facilities, a propane wholesale marketing business and NGL pipeline assets.

The residual natural gas, primarily methane, which results from processing raw natural gas, is sold by DCP Midstream at 
market-based prices to marketers and end users, including large industrial companies, natural gas distribution companies 
and electric utilities.  DCP Midstream purchases or takes custody of substantially all of its raw natural gas from 
producers, principally under contractual arrangements that expose DCP Midstream to the prices of NGL, natural gas and 
condensate.  DCP Midstream also has fee-based arrangements with producers to provide midstream services such as 
gathering and processing. 

DCP Midstream markets a portion of its NGL to us and CPChem under existing 15-year contracts, the primary 
commitment of which began a ratable wind-down period in December 2014 and expires in January 2019.  These purchase 
commitments are on an “if-produced, will-purchase” basis. 

During 2015, DCP Midstream and DCP Midstream Partners, LP (DCP Partners), the MLP formed by DCP Midstream,  
completed or advanced the following growth projects: 

•  The Sand Hills laterals were placed into service in the second and third quarters of 2015.  The Sand Hills 

pipeline capacity expansion is underway and expected to be in service in the middle of 2016. 

• 

In March 2015, construction began on a gathering system in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin, named the Grand 
Parkway gathering project, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2016. 

•  The expansion of the Keathley Canyon natural gas gathering pipeline system, which is part of DCP Partners’ 

Discovery joint venture, was placed into service in the first quarter of 2015.

•  The Lucerne 2 plant was placed into service in mid-2015.

NGL 

Our NGL business includes the following:

•  The 100,000 barrels-per-day (BPD) Sweeny Fractionator One is located in Old Ocean, Texas.  The fractionator is 

supported by 250 miles of new pipelines and the Clemens Caverns storage facility located near Brazoria, Texas, 
with connectivity to local petrochemical customers, the Mont Belvieu market hub and our marine terminal in 
Freeport, Texas. 

•  A 22.5 percent equity interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators, which owns an NGL fractionation plant in Mont 

Belvieu, Texas.  We operate the facility, and our net share of its capacity is 32,625 barrels per day.  

•  A 12.5 percent equity interest in a fractionation plant in Mont Belvieu, Texas.  Our net share of its capacity is 

30,250 barrels per day.

•  A 40 percent interest in a fractionation plant in Conway, Kansas.  Our net share of its capacity is 43,200 barrels per 

day.

• 

Phillips 66 Partners owns a direct one-third interest in both Sand Hills and Southern Hills, whose pipelines connect 
Eagle Ford, Permian and Midcontinent production to the Mont Belvieu, Texas market.

In December 2015, operations began at Sweeny Fractionator One.  Sweeny Fractionator One is located adjacent to our 
Sweeny Refinery and supplies purity ethane and LPG to the petrochemical industry and heating markets.  Raw NGL 
supply to the fractionator is delivered from nearby major pipelines, including the Sand Hills pipeline. 

The fractionator is supported by significant new infrastructure including connectivity to two NGL supply pipelines, a 
180,000 BPD bi-directional pipeline to the Mont Belvieu market center and a multi-million barrel salt dome storage 
facility with access to our marine terminal in Freeport, Texas. 

During 2015, construction progressed on the Freeport LPG Export Terminal located at the site of our existing marine 
terminal in Freeport, Texas.  The terminal expansion will leverage our transportation and storage infrastructure to supply 
petrochemical, heating and transportation markets globally.  In addition, a 100,000 BPD unit to upgrade domestic 
propane for export is being installed near the Sweeny Fractionator One.  The terminal will have an initial export capacity 
of 150,000 BPD of LPG with a ship loading rate of 36,000 barrels per hour.  The terminal is currently exporting 10,000 to 
15,000 BPD of natural gasoline (C5+) from Sweeny Fractionator One. 

The LPG produced at Sweeny Fractionator One is being delivered via pipeline to local petrochemical customers, as well 
as to the market hub at Mont Belvieu, Texas.  We will have the capability to place the LPG into global markets upon 
completion of our Freeport LPG Export Terminal in the second half of 2016.  Sweeny Fractionator One and the Freeport 
LPG Export Terminal represent a combined capital investment of more than $3 billion.

CHEMICALS

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in CPChem, which is headquartered in The 
Woodlands, Texas.  At the end of 2015, CPChem owned or had joint-venture interests in 34 manufacturing facilities and 
two research and development centers located around the world.

We structure our reporting of CPChem’s operations around two primary business segments: Olefins and Polyolefins 
(O&P) and Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics (SA&S).  The O&P business segment produces and markets ethylene 
and other olefin products; the ethylene produced is primarily consumed within CPChem for the production of 
polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe.  The SA&S business segment manufactures and markets 
aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, styrene, paraxylene and cyclohexane, as well as polystyrene and 
styrene-butadiene copolymers.  SA&S also manufactures and/or markets a variety of specialty chemical products 
including organosulfur chemicals, solvents, catalysts, drilling chemicals and mining chemicals.

The manufacturing of petrochemicals and plastics involves the conversion of hydrocarbon-based raw material feedstocks 
into higher-value products, often through a thermal process referred to in the industry as “cracking.”  For example, 
ethylene can be produced from cracking the feedstocks ethane, propane, butane, natural gasoline or certain refinery 
liquids, such as naphtha and gas oil.  The produced ethylene has a number of uses, primarily as a raw material for the 
production of plastics, such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride.  Plastic resins, such as polyethylene, are 
manufactured in a thermal/catalyst process, and the produced output is used as a further raw material for various 
applications, such as packaging and plastic pipe.

CPChem, including through its subsidiaries and equity affiliates, has manufacturing facilities located in Belgium, China, 
Colombia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and the United States.

In 2015, CPChem continued construction of a world-scale ethane cracker and polyethylene facilities in the U.S. Gulf 
Coast region.  The project will leverage the development of the significant shale resources in the United States.  
CPChem’s Cedar Bayou facility, in Baytown, Texas, will be the location of the 3.3 billion-pound-per-year ethylene unit.  
The polyethylene facility will have two polyethylene units, each with an annual capacity of 1.1 billion pounds, and will 
be located near CPChem’s Sweeny facility in Old Ocean, Texas.  The project is expected to be completed in 2017.  

In the second quarter of 2015, CPChem completed construction and started commercial operations of a 220-million-
pounds-per-year expansion of normal alpha olefin (NAO) production capacity at its Cedar Bayou plant.  NAO and its 
derivatives are used extensively as polyethylene co-monomers, synthetic motor oils, lubricants, automotive additives and 
in a wide range of specialty applications.

MARKETING AND SPECIALTIES

Our M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products (such as gasolines, distillates and 
aviation fuels), mainly in the United States and Europe.  In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and 
marketing of specialty products (such as base oils and lubricants), as well as power generation operations.

Marketing

Marketing—United States
In the United States, as of December 31, 2015, we marketed gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel through approximately 
8,350 marketer-owned or -supplied outlets in 48 states.  These sites utilize the Phillips 66, Conoco or 76 brands.

At December 31, 2015, our wholesale operations utilized a network of marketers operating approximately 6,700 outlets.  
We have placed a strong emphasis on the wholesale channel of trade because of its lower capital requirements.  In 
addition, we held brand-licensing agreements with approximately 800 sites.  Our refined products are marketed on both a 
branded and unbranded basis.  A high percentage of our branded marketing sales are made in the Midcontinent, Rockies 
and West Coast regions, where our wholesale marketing operations provide efficient off-take from our refineries.  We 
continue to utilize consignment fuels agreements with several marketers whereby we own the fuel inventory and pay the 
marketers a fixed monthly fee.

In the Gulf Coast and East Coast regions, most sales are conducted via unbranded sales which do not require a highly 
integrated marketing and distribution infrastructure to secure product placement for refinery pull through.  We are 
expanding our export capability at our U.S. coastal refineries to meet growing international demand and increase 
flexibility to provide product to the highest-value markets.

In addition to automotive gasoline and diesel, we produce and market jet fuel and aviation gasoline, which is used by 
smaller piston-engine aircraft.  At December 31, 2015, aviation gasoline and jet fuel were sold through dealers and 
independent marketers at approximately 850 Phillips 66-branded locations in the United States.

Marketing—International
We have marketing operations in five European countries.  Our European marketing strategy is to sell primarily through 
owned, leased or joint venture retail sites using a low-cost, high-volume approach.  We use the JET brand name to market 
retail and wholesale products in Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom.  In addition, a joint venture in which we 
have an equity interest markets products in Switzerland under the Coop brand name.

We also market aviation fuels, LPG, heating oils, transportation fuels, marine bunker fuels, bitumen and fuel coke 
specialty products to commercial customers and into the bulk or spot markets in the above countries and Ireland.

As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately 1,280 marketing outlets in our European operations, of which 
approximately 950 were company owned and 330 were dealer owned.  In addition, through our joint venture operations 
in Switzerland, we have interests in 295 additional sites.

Specialties

We manufacture and sell a variety of specialty products, including petroleum coke products, waxes, solvents and 
polypropylene.  Certain manufacturing operations are included in the Refining segment, while the marketing function for 
these products is included in the Specialties business.

Premium Coke & Polypropylene
We market high-quality graphite and anode-grade petroleum cokes in the United States and Europe for use in the global 
steel and aluminum industries.  We also market polypropylene in North America under the COPYLENE brand name.  

Excel Paralubes
We own a 50 percent interest in Excel Paralubes, a joint venture which owns a hydrocracked lubricant base oil 
manufacturing plant located adjacent to the Lake Charles Refinery.  The facility produces approximately 
22,000 barrels per day of high-quality, clear hydrocracked base oils.

16

Lubricants
We manufacture and sell automotive, commercial, industrial and specialty lubricants which are marketed worldwide 
under the Phillips 66, Conoco, 76, Kendall, Red Line and Smart Blend brands, as well as other private label brands.  We 
also market Group II Pure Performance base oils globally as well as import and market Group III Ultra-S base oils 
through an agreement with South Korea’s S-Oil corporation. 

Other 

Power Generation
We own a cogeneration power plant located adjacent to the Sweeny Refinery.  The plant generates electricity and 
provides process steam to the refinery, as well as merchant power into the Texas market.  The plant has a net electrical 
output of 440 megawatts and is capable of generating up to 3.6 million pounds per hour of process steam.  

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Our Technology organization conducts applied and fundamental research in three areas: 1) support for our current 
business, 2) new environmental solutions for governmental regulations and 3) future growth.  Technology programs 
include evaluating advantaged crudes, modeling for increased clean product yield, and increasing reliability.  Our 
sustainability group concentrates on alternative and renewable energy, carbon dioxide capture, processing improvements, 
and product innovation.  Another ongoing initiative studies whether fuel cells can be converted to use abundant natural 
gas, as opposed to hydrogen, to produce electricity.  Additionally, we research in the areas of solar panels and water use 
and quality.

COMPETITION

The Midstream segment, through our equity investment in DCP Midstream and our other operations, competes with 
numerous integrated petroleum companies, as well as natural gas transmission and distribution companies, to deliver 
components of natural gas to end users in commodity natural gas markets.  DCP Midstream is one of the leading natural 
gas gatherers and processors in the United States based on wellhead volumes, and one of the largest U.S. producers and 
marketers of NGL, based on published industry sources.  Principal methods of competing include economically securing 
the right to purchase raw natural gas for gathering systems, managing the pressure of those systems, operating efficient 
NGL processing plants and securing markets for the products produced.

In the Chemicals segment, CPChem is ranked among the top 10 producers of many of its major product lines, based on 
average 2015 production capacity, as published by industry sources.  Petroleum products, petrochemicals and plastics are 
typically delivered into the worldwide commodity markets.  Our Refining and M&S segments compete primarily in the 
United States and Europe.  Based on the statistics published in the December 7, 2015, issue of the Oil & Gas Journal, we 
are one of the largest refiners of petroleum products in the United States.  Elements of competition for both our 
Chemicals and Refining segments include product improvement, new product development, low-cost structures, and 
efficient manufacturing and distribution systems.  In the marketing portion of the business, competitive factors include 
product properties and processibility, reliability of supply, customer service, price and credit terms, advertising and sales 
promotion, and development of customer loyalty to branded products.

GENERAL

At December 31, 2015, we held a total of 404 active patents in 30 countries worldwide, including 260 active U.S. 
patents.  During 2015, we received 31 patents in the United States and 14 foreign patents.  The overall profitability of any 
business segment is not dependent on any single patent, trademark, license or franchise.

Company-sponsored research and development activities charged against earnings were $65 million, $62 million and $69 
million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

17

In support of our goal to attain zero incidents, we have implemented a comprehensive Health, Safety and Environmental 
(HSE) management system to support our business units in achieving consistent management of HSE risks across our 
enterprise.  The management system is designed to ensure that personal safety, process safety, and environmental impact 
risks are identified and mitigation steps are taken to reduce the risk.  The management system requires periodic audits to 
ensure compliance with government regulations, as well as our internal requirements.  Our commitment to continuous 
improvement is reflected in annual goal setting and performance measurement.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.  Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial 
condition, as well as affect the value of an investment in our common stock. 

Our operating results and future rate of growth are exposed to the effects of changing commodity prices and refining, 
marketing and petrochemical margins.

Our revenues, operating results and future rate of growth are highly dependent on a number of factors, including fixed 
and variable expenses (including the cost of crude oil, NGLs, and other refinery and petrochemical feedstocks) and the 
margin we can derive from selling refined and Chemicals segment products.  The prices of feedstocks and our products 
fluctuate substantially.  These prices depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the global supply and 
demand for feedstocks and our products, which are subject to, among other things:

•  Changes in the global economy and the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil, natural gas and 

NGLs and refined, petrochemical and plastics products.

•  Availability of feedstocks and refined products and the infrastructure to transport feedstocks and refined products.
•  Local factors, including market conditions, the level of operations of other facilities in our markets, and the volume 

of products imported and exported.

•  Threatened or actual terrorist incidents, acts of war and other global political conditions.
•  Government regulations.
•  Weather conditions, hurricanes or other natural disasters.

The price of crude oil influences prices for refined products.  We do not produce crude oil and must purchase all of the 
crude oil we process.  Many crude oils available on the world market will not meet the quality restrictions for use in our 
refineries.  Others are not economical to use due to excessive transportation costs or for other reasons.  The prices for 
crude oil and refined products can fluctuate differently based on global, regional and local market conditions.  In 
addition, the timing of the relative movement of the prices (both among different classes of refined products and among 
various global markets for similar refined products), as well as the overall change in refined product prices, can reduce 
refining margins and could have a significant impact on our refining, wholesale marketing and retail operations, 
revenues, operating income and cash flows.  Also, crude oil supply contracts generally have market-responsive pricing 
provisions.  We normally purchase our refinery feedstocks weeks before manufacturing and selling the refined products.  
During the period between the time we purchase feedstocks and sell the refined products from these feedstocks, price 
changes could have a significant effect on our financial results.  We also purchase refined products produced by others for 
sale to our customers.  Price changes during the periods between purchasing and selling these refined products also could 
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The price of feedstocks also influences prices for petrochemical and plastics products.  Although our Chemicals segment 
gathers, transports, and fractionates feedstocks to meet a portion of their demand and has certain long-term feedstock 
supply contracts with others, it is still subject to volatile feedstock prices.  In addition, the petrochemicals industry is both 
cyclical and volatile.  Cyclicality occurs when periods of tight supply, resulting in increased prices and profit margins, are 
followed by periods of capacity expansion, resulting in oversupply and declining prices and profit margins.  Volatility 
occurs as a result of changes in supply and demand for products, changes in energy prices, and changes in various other 
economic conditions around the world.

Uncertainty and illiquidity in credit and capital markets can impair our ability to obtain credit and financing on 
acceptable terms and can adversely affect the financial strength of our business partners.

Our ability to obtain credit and capital depends in large measure on the state of the credit and capital markets, which is 
beyond our control.  Our ability to access credit and capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or 
need, access to those markets, which could constrain our flexibility to react to changing economic and business 
conditions.  In addition, the cost and availability of debt and equity financing may be adversely impacted by unstable or 
illiquid market conditions.  Protracted uncertainty and illiquidity in these markets also could have an adverse impact on 
our lenders, commodity hedging counterparties, or our customers, preventing them from meeting their obligations to us.

19

 
From time to time, our cash needs may exceed our internally generated cash flow, and our business could be materially 
and adversely affected if we are unable to obtain necessary funds from financing activities.  From time to time, we may 
need to supplement cash generated from operations with proceeds from financing activities.  Uncertainty and illiquidity 
in financial markets may materially impact the ability of the participating financial institutions to fund their commitments 
to us under our liquidity facilities.  Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain the full amount of the funds available 
under our liquidity facilities to satisfy our cash requirements, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect 
on our operations and financial position.

Deterioration in our credit profile could increase our costs of borrowing money and limit our access to the capital 
markets and commercial credit, and could trigger co-venturer rights under joint venture arrangements.

Our or Phillips 66 Partners’ credit ratings could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in its judgment, 
the circumstances warrant.  If a rating agency were to downgrade our rating below investment grade, our or Phillips 66 
Partners’ borrowing costs would increase, and our funding sources could decrease.  In addition, a failure by us to 
maintain an investment grade rating could affect our business relationships with suppliers and operating partners.  For 
example, our agreement with Chevron regarding CPChem permits Chevron to buy our 50 percent interest in CPChem for 
fair market value if we experience a change in control or if both S&P and Moody’s lower our credit ratings below 
investment grade and the credit rating from either rating agency remains below investment grade for 365 days thereafter, 
with fair market value determined by agreement or by nationally recognized investment banks.  As a result of these 
factors, a downgrade of credit ratings could have a materially adverse impact on our future operations and financial 
position.

We expect to continue to incur substantial capital expenditures and operating costs as a result of our compliance with 
existing and future environmental laws and regulations.  Likewise, future environmental laws and regulations may 
impact or limit our current business plans and reduce demand for our products.

Our business is subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.  These laws and 
regulations continue to increase in both number and complexity and affect our operations with respect to, among other 
things:

•  The discharge of pollutants into the environment.
•  Emissions into the atmosphere (such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions, and greenhouse gas 

emissions as they are, or may become, regulated).

•  The quantity of renewable fuels that must be blended into motor fuels.
•  The handling, use, storage, transportation, disposal and cleanup of hazardous materials and hazardous and 

nonhazardous wastes.

•  The dismantlement, abandonment and restoration of our properties and facilities at the end of their useful lives.

We have incurred and will continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures 
as a result of these laws and regulations.  To the extent these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in 
the prices of our products and services, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future 
periods could be materially adversely affected.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) pursuant to the 
Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.  The RFS program sets annual quotas 
for the quantity of renewable fuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States.  
To provide certain flexibility in compliance options available to the industry, a Renewable Identification Number (RIN) 
is assigned to each gallon of renewable fuel produced in, or imported into, the United States.  As a producer of 
petroleum-based motor fuels, we are obligated to blend renewable fuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at 
least commensurate to the EPA’s quota and, to the extent we do not, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy 
our obligation under the RFS program.  To the extent the EPA mandates a quantity of renewable fuel that exceeds the 
amount that is commercially feasible to blend into motor fuel (a situation commonly referred to as “the blend wall”), our 
operations could be materially adversely impacted, up to and including a reduction in produced motor fuel. 

20

 
The adoption of climate change legislation could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the 
refined products we produce.

The U.S. government, including the EPA, as well as several state and international governments, have either considered 
or adopted legislation or regulations in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  These proposed or 
promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the 
future.  In addition, various groups suggest that additional laws may be needed in an effort to address climate change.  We 
cannot predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted and, if so, what its provisions would be.  To the 
extent we incur additional costs required to comply with the adoption of new laws and regulations that are not ultimately 
reflected in the prices of our products and services, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows 
in future periods could be materially adversely affected.  In addition, demand for the refined products we produce could 
be adversely affected.

Climate change may adversely affect our facilities and our ongoing operations.

The potential physical effects of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain and depend upon the unique 
geographic and environmental factors present.  Examples of such effects include rising sea levels at our coastal facilities, 
changing storm patterns and intensities, and changing temperature levels.  As many of our facilities are located near 
coastal areas, rising sea levels may disrupt our ability to operate those facilities or transport crude oil and refined 
petroleum products.  Extended periods of such disruption could have an adverse effect on our results of operation.  We 
could also incur substantial costs to protect or repair these facilities.  

Domestic and worldwide political and economic developments could damage our operations and materially reduce our 
profitability and cash flows.

Actions of the U.S., state, local and international governments through tax and other legislation, executive order and 
commercial restrictions could reduce our operating profitability both in the United States and abroad.  The U.S. 
government can prevent or restrict us from doing business in foreign countries.  These restrictions and those of foreign 
governments could limit our ability to operate in, or gain access to, opportunities in various countries, as well as limit our 
ability to obtain the optimum slate of crude oil and other refinery feedstocks.  Our foreign operations and those of our 
joint ventures are further subject to risks of loss of revenue, equipment and property as a result of expropriation, acts of 
terrorism, war, civil unrest and other political risks; unilateral or forced renegotiation, modification or nullification of 
existing contracts with governmental entities; and difficulties enforcing rights against a governmental agency because of 
the doctrine of sovereign immunity and foreign sovereignty over international operations.  Our foreign operations and 
those of our joint ventures are also subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  Actions by both the United States 
and host governments may affect our operations significantly in the future.

Renewable fuels, alternative energy mandates and energy conservation efforts could reduce demand for refined products.  
Tax incentives and other subsidies can make renewable fuels and alternative energy more competitive with refined 
products than they otherwise might be, which may reduce refined product margins and hinder the ability of refined 
products to compete with renewable fuels. 

Large capital projects can take many years to complete, and market conditions could deteriorate significantly between 
the project approval date and the project startup date, negatively impacting project returns.

To approve a large-scale capital project, the project must meet an acceptable level of return on the capital invested in the 
project.  We base these forecasted project economics on our best estimate of future market conditions.  Most large-scale 
projects take several years to complete.  During this multi-year period, market conditions can change from those we 
forecast, and these changes could be significant.  Accordingly, we may not be able to realize our expected returns from a 
large investment in a capital project, and this could negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and our return 
on capital employed.

Our investments in joint ventures decrease our ability to manage risk.

We conduct some of our operations, including parts of our Midstream, Refining and M&S segments, and our entire 
Chemicals segment, through joint ventures in which we share control with our joint venture participants.  Our joint 

21

venture participants may have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the joint 
venture or us, or our joint venture participants may be unable to meet their economic or other obligations, and we may be 
required to fulfill those obligations alone.  Failure by us, or an entity in which we have a joint-venture interest, to 
adequately manage the risks associated with any acquisitions or joint ventures could have a material adverse effect on the 
financial condition or results of operations of our joint ventures and, in turn, our business and operations.

Activities in our Chemicals and Midstream segments involve numerous risks that may result in accidents or otherwise 
affect the ability of our equity affiliates to make distributions to us.

There are a variety of hazards and operating risks inherent in the manufacturing of petrochemicals and the gathering, 
processing, transmission, storage, and distribution of natural gas and NGL, such as spills, leaks, explosions and 
mechanical problems that could cause substantial financial losses.  In addition, these risks could result in significant 
injury, loss of human life, damage to property, environmental pollution and impairment of operations, any of which could 
result in substantial losses.  For assets located near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business 
centers, industrial sites and other public gathering areas, the level of damage resulting from these risks could be greater.  
Should any of these risks materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of 
CPChem, DCP Midstream or REX and negatively impact their ability to make future distributions to us.

Our operations present hazards and risks, which may not be fully covered by insurance, if insured.  If a significant 
accident or event occurs for which we are not adequately insured, our operations and financial results could be 
adversely affected.

The scope and nature of our operations present a variety of operational hazards and risks, including explosions, fires, 
toxic emissions, maritime hazards and natural catastrophes, that must be managed through continual oversight and 
control.  For example, the operation of refineries, power plants, fractionators, pipelines, terminals and vessels is 
inherently subject to the risks of spills, discharges or other inadvertent releases of petroleum or hazardous substances.  If 
any of these events had previously occurred or occurs in the future in connection with any of our refineries, pipelines or 
refined products terminals, or in connection with any facilities that receive our wastes or by-products for treatment or 
disposal, other than events for which we are indemnified, we could be liable for all costs and penalties associated with 
their remediation under federal, state, local and international environmental laws or common law, and could be liable for 
property damage to third parties caused by contamination from releases and spills.  These and other risks are present 
throughout our operations.  As protection against these hazards and risks, we maintain insurance against many, but not 
all, potential losses or liabilities arising from such operating risks.  As such, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient 
to fully cover us against potential losses arising from such risks.  Uninsured losses and liabilities arising from operating 
risks could reduce the funds available to us for capital and investment spending and could have a material adverse effect 
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are subject to interruptions of supply and increased costs as a result of our reliance on third-party transportation 
of crude oil, NGL and refined products.

We often utilize the services of third parties to transport crude oil, NGL and refined products to and from our facilities.  
In addition to our own operational risks discussed above, we could experience interruptions of supply or increases in 
costs to deliver refined products to market if the ability of the pipelines or vessels to transport crude oil or refined 
products is disrupted because of weather events, accidents, governmental regulations or third-party actions.  A prolonged 
disruption of the ability of a pipeline or vessel to transport crude oil, NGL or refined product to or from one or more of 
our refineries or other facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of 
operations and cash flows.

Increased regulation of hydraulic fracturing could result in reductions or delays in U.S. production of crude oil and 
natural gas, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

An increasing percentage of crude oil supplied to our refineries and the crude oil and gas production of our Midstream 
segment’s customers is being produced from unconventional sources.  These reservoirs require hydraulic fracturing 
completion processes to release the hydrocarbons from the rock so they can flow through casing to the surface.  
Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into the formation to stimulate 
hydrocarbon production.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several state agencies, have commenced 

22

studies and/or convened hearings regarding the potential environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing activities.  At the 
same time, certain environmental groups have suggested that additional laws may be needed to more closely and 
uniformly regulate the hydraulic fracturing process, and legislation has been proposed to provide for such regulation.  In 
addition, some communities have adopted measures to ban hydraulic fracturing in their communities.  We cannot predict 
whether any such legislation will ever be enacted and, if so, what its provisions would be.  Any additional levels of 
regulation and permits required with the adoption of new laws and regulations at the federal or state level could result in 
our having to rely on higher priced crude oil for our refineries. This could lead to delays, increased operating costs and 
process prohibitions that could reduce the volumes of natural gas that move through DCP Midstream’s gathering systems 
and could reduce supplies and increase costs of NGL feedstocks to CPChem ethylene facilities.  This could materially 
adversely affect our results of operations and the ability of DCP Midstream and CPChem to make cash distributions to 
us.

DCP Midstream’s success depends on its ability to obtain new sources of natural gas and NGL.  Any decrease in the 
volumes of natural gas DCP Midstream gathers could adversely affect its business and operating results.

DCP Midstream’s gathering and transportation pipeline systems are connected to or dependent on the level of production 
from natural gas wells, which will naturally decline over time.  As a result, its cash flows associated with these wells will 
also decline over time.  In order to maintain or increase throughput levels on its gathering and transportation pipeline 
systems and NGL pipelines and the asset utilization rates at its natural gas processing plants, DCP Midstream must 
continually obtain new supplies.  The primary factors affecting DCP Midstream’s ability to obtain new supplies of natural 
gas and NGL, and to attract new customers to its assets, include the level of successful drilling activity near these assets, 
prices of, and the demand for, natural gas and crude oil, producers’ desire and ability to obtain necessary permits in an 
efficient manner, natural gas field characteristics and production performance, surface access and infrastructure issues, 
and its ability to compete for volumes from successful new wells.  If DCP Midstream is not able to obtain new supplies 
of natural gas to replace the natural decline in volumes from existing wells or because of competition, throughput on its 
pipelines and the utilization rates of its treating and processing facilities would decline.  This could have a material 
adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows, and its ability to make cash 
distributions to us.

Competitors that produce their own supply of feedstocks, have more extensive retail outlets, or have greater financial 
resources may have a competitive advantage.

The refining and marketing industry is highly competitive with respect to both feedstock supply and refined product 
markets.  We compete with many companies for available supplies of crude oil and other feedstocks and for outlets for 
our refined products.  We do not produce any of our crude oil feedstocks.  Some of our competitors, however, obtain a 
portion of their feedstocks from their own production and some have more extensive retail outlets than we have.  
Competitors that have their own production or extensive retail outlets (and greater brand-name recognition) are at times 
able to offset losses from refining operations with profits from producing or retailing operations, and may be better 
positioned to withstand periods of depressed refining margins or feedstock shortages.

Some of our competitors also have materially greater financial and other resources than we have.  Such competitors have 
a greater ability to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of our business.  In addition, we compete with other 
industries that provide alternative means to satisfy the energy and fuel requirements of our industrial, commercial and 
individual customers.

We may incur losses as a result of our forward-contract activities and derivative transactions.

We currently use commodity derivative instruments, and we expect to use them in the future.  If the instruments we 
utilize to hedge our exposure to various types of risk are not effective, we may incur losses.  Derivative transactions 
involve the risk that counterparties may be unable to satisfy their obligations to us.  A large percentage of our future 
production is subject to commodity price changes and our ability to fund our planned activities could be adversely 
affected if any of our counterparties were to default on their obligations to us under the hedging contracts or seek 
bankruptcy protection.  The risk of counterparty default is heightened in a poor economic environment.

One of our subsidiaries acts as the general partner of a publicly traded master limited partnership, Phillips 66 
Partners LP, which may involve a greater exposure to legal liability than our historic business operations.

One of our subsidiaries acts as the general partner of Phillips 66 Partners LP, a publicly traded master limited partnership.  
Our control of the general partner of Phillips 66 Partners may increase the possibility that we could be subject to claims 
of breach of fiduciary duties, including claims of conflicts of interest, related to Phillips 66 Partners.  Any liability 
resulting from such claims could have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition, results of 
operations and cash flows. 

A significant interruption in one or more of our facilities could adversely affect our business.

Our operations could be subject to significant interruption if one or more of our facilities were to experience a major 
accident, mechanical failure, or power outage, encounter work stoppages relating to organized labor issues, be damaged 
by severe weather or other natural or man-made disaster, such as an act of terrorism, or otherwise be forced to shut down.  
If any facility were to experience an interruption in operations, earnings from the facility could be materially adversely 
affected (to the extent not recoverable through insurance, if insured) because of lost production and repair costs.  A 
significant interruption in one or more of our facilities could also lead to increased volatility in prices for feedstocks and 
refined products, and could increase instability in the financial and insurance markets, making it more difficult for us to 
access capital and to obtain insurance coverage that we consider adequate.

Our performance depends on the uninterrupted operation of our facilities, which are becoming increasingly 
dependent on our information technology systems. 

Our performance depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of the manufacturing equipment in our production 
facilities.  The inability to operate one or more of our facilities due to a natural disaster; power outage; labor dispute; or 
failure of one or more of our information technology, telecommunications, or other systems could significantly impair 
our ability to manufacture our products.  Our manufacturing equipment is becoming increasingly dependent on our 
information technology systems.  A disruption in our information technology systems due to a catastrophic event or 
security breach could interrupt or damage our operations.  

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would 
cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect sensitive data, including personally identifiable information of our 
customers using credit cards at our branded retail outlets.  Despite our security measures, our information technology and 
infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other 
disruptions.  Although we have experienced occasional, actual or attempted breaches of our cybersecurity, none of these 
breaches has had a material effect on our business, operations or reputation (or compromised any customer data).  Any 
such breaches could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, 
lost or stolen.  Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, 
liability under laws that protect the privacy of customer information, disrupt the services we provide to customers, and 
damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business.

The level of returns on pension and postretirement plan assets and the actuarial assumptions used for valuation 
purposes could affect our earnings and cash flows in future periods. 

Assumptions used in determining projected benefit obligations and the expected return on plan assets for our pension 
plan and other postretirement benefit plans are evaluated by us based on a variety of independent market information and 
in consultation with outside actuaries.  If we determine that changes are warranted in the assumptions used, such as the 
discount rate, expected long-term rate of return, or health care cost trend rate, our future pension and postretirement 
benefit expenses and funding requirements could increase.  In addition, several factors could cause actual results to differ 
significantly from the actuarial assumptions that we use.  Funding obligations are determined based on the value of assets 
and liabilities on a specific date as required under relevant regulations.  Future pension funding requirements, and the 
timing of funding payments, could be affected by legislation enacted by governmental authorities.

In connection with the Separation, ConocoPhillips has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities and we have 
agreed to indemnify ConocoPhillips for certain liabilities.  If we are required to act on these indemnities to 
ConocoPhillips, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively 
impacted.  The ConocoPhillips indemnity may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for 
which it has been allocated responsibility, and ConocoPhillips may not be able to satisfy its indemnification 
obligations in the future.

Pursuant to the Indemnification and Release Agreement and certain other agreements with ConocoPhillips entered into in 
connection with the Separation, ConocoPhillips agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we agreed to indemnify 
ConocoPhillips for certain liabilities.  Indemnities that we may be required to provide ConocoPhillips are not subject to 
any cap, may be significant and could negatively impact our business, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that 
could impact the tax-free nature of the distribution of Phillips 66 stock.  Third parties could also seek to hold us 
responsible for any of the liabilities that ConocoPhillips has agreed to retain.  Further, the indemnity from ConocoPhillips 
may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and ConocoPhillips may not be able to fully 
satisfy its indemnification obligations.  Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from ConocoPhillips any 
amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves.  Each of these risks 
could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to continuing contingent liabilities of ConocoPhillips following the Separation.

Notwithstanding the Separation, there are several significant areas where the liabilities of ConocoPhillips may become 
our obligations.  For example, under the Internal Revenue Code and the related rules and regulations, each corporation 
that was a member of the ConocoPhillips consolidated U.S. federal income tax reporting group during any taxable period 
or portion of any taxable period ending on or before the effective time of the Separation is jointly and severally liable for 
the U.S. federal income tax liability of the entire ConocoPhillips consolidated tax reporting group for that taxable period.  
In connection with the Separation, we entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement with ConocoPhillips that allocates the 
responsibility for prior period taxes of the ConocoPhillips consolidated tax reporting group between us and 
ConocoPhillips.  ConocoPhillips may be unable to pay any prior period taxes for which it is responsible, and we could be 
required to pay the entire amount of such taxes.  Other provisions of federal law establish similar liability for other 
matters, including laws governing tax-qualified pension plans as well as other contingent liabilities.

If the distribution in connection with the Separation, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a 
transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our stockholders and ConocoPhillips could 
be subject to significant tax liability and, in certain circumstances, we could be required to indemnify ConocoPhillips 
for material taxes pursuant to indemnification obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

ConocoPhillips received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) substantially to the effect that, 
among other things, the distribution, together with certain related transactions, qualified as a transaction that is generally 
tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code.  The private letter ruling 
and the tax opinion that ConocoPhillips received relied on certain representations, assumptions and undertakings, 
including those relating to the past and future conduct of our business, and neither the private letter ruling nor the opinion 
would be valid if such representations, assumptions and undertakings were incorrect.  Moreover, the private letter ruling 
does not address all the issues that are relevant to determining whether the distribution qualified for tax-free treatment.  
Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and the tax opinion, the IRS could determine the distribution should be treated 
as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes if it determines any of the representations, assumptions or 
undertakings that were included in the request for the private letter ruling are false or have been violated or if it disagrees 
with the conclusions in the opinion that are not covered by the IRS ruling. 

If the IRS were to determine that the distribution failed to qualify for tax-free treatment, in general, ConocoPhillips 
would be subject to tax as if it had sold the Phillips 66 common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value, and 
ConocoPhillips stockholders who received shares of Phillips 66 common stock in the distribution would be subject to tax 
as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of such shares.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we would generally be required to indemnify ConocoPhillips against any tax resulting 
from the distribution to the extent that such tax resulted from (i) any of our representations or undertakings being 
incorrect or violated, or (ii) other actions or failures to act by us.  Our indemnification obligations to ConocoPhillips and 

25

its subsidiaries, officers and directors are not limited by any maximum amount.  If we are required to indemnify 
ConocoPhillips or such other persons under the circumstances set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement, we may be subject 
to substantial liabilities.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following is a description of reportable legal proceedings, including those involving governmental authorities under 
federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment.  While it is not possible to 
accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings were decided 
adversely to Phillips 66, we expect there would be no material effect on our consolidated financial position.  
Nevertheless, such proceedings are reported pursuant to SEC regulations.

Our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air 
Act, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), six states and one local air pollution agency.  Some of the 
requirements and limitations contained in the decrees provide for stipulated penalties for violations.  Stipulated penalties 
under the decrees are not automatic, but must be requested by one of the agency signatories.  As part of periodic reports 
under the decrees or other reports required by permits or regulations, we occasionally report matters that could be subject 
to a request for stipulated penalties.  If a specific request for stipulated penalties meeting the reporting threshold set forth 
in SEC rules is made pursuant to these decrees based on a given reported exceedance, we will separately report that 
matter and the amount of the proposed penalty.

New Matters
In November and December of 2015, the Bay Area Quality Management District (AQMD) issued demands to settle 17 
Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued in 2013 and 2014 with respect to alleged violations of regulatory and/or permit 
requirements at the Rodeo refining facility.  The settlement demands aggregate to approximately $180,000.  We are 
working with the Bay Area AQMD to resolve these matters.

Matters Previously Reported
In October 2007, we received a Complaint from the EPA alleging violations of the Clean Water Act related to a 2006 oil 
spill at the Bayway Refinery and proposing a penalty of $156,000.  We are working with the EPA and the U.S. Coast 
Guard to resolve this matter.

In May 2010, we received a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty from the Louisiana 
Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) alleging various violations of applicable air emission regulations at the 
Lake Charles Refinery, as well as certain provisions of the consent decree in Civil Action No. H-01-4430.  In July 2014, 
we resolved the consent decree issues, and in January 2016 an agreement was reached with LDEQ to resolve the 
remaining allegations.

In May 2012, the Illinois Attorney General’s office filed and notified us of a complaint with respect to operations at the 
Wood River Refinery alleging violations of the Illinois groundwater standards and a third-party’s hazardous waste permit.  
The complaint seeks as relief remediation of area groundwater; compliance with the hazardous waste permit; enhanced 
pipeline and tank integrity measures; additional spill reporting; and yet-to-be specified amounts for fines and penalties.  
We are working with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Attorney General’s office to resolve these 
allegations.

In October 2012, July 2014 and May 2015, the Bay Area AQMD issued demands to settle 64 NOVs issued in 2010 
through 2013 with respect to alleged violations of regulatory and/or permit requirements at the Rodeo Refinery.  The 
settlement demands aggregate approximately $900,000.  We are working with the Bay Area AQMD to resolve these 
matters.

26

In July 2014, Phillips 66 received a NOV from the EPA alleging various flaring-related violations between 2009 and 
2013 at the Wood River Refinery.  We are working with the EPA to resolve these allegations.

In September 2014, the EPA issued an NOV alleging a violation of hazardous air pollution regulations at the Wood River 
Refinery during 2014.  We are working with the EPA to resolve this NOV.

In January 2015, the Bay Area AQMD made a $262,000 demand to settle five NOVs issued in 2012 with respect to an 
incident involving the release of material from a sour water tank at the Rodeo facility in June 2012.  We are working with 
the Bay Area AQMD to resolve this matter.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Phillips 66 is an energy manufacturing and logistics company with midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and 
specialties businesses.  At December 31, 2015, we had total assets of $48.6 billion.

Executive Overview
We reported earnings of $4.2 billion in 2015 and generated $5.7 billion in cash from operating activities.  Phillips 66 
Partners LP issued $1.1 billion of debt and $384 million of its common units to the public.  We used available cash 
primarily to fund capital expenditures and investments of $5.8 billion, pay dividends of $1.2 billion, repurchase $1.5 
billion of our common stock, and repay $800 million of senior notes that came due in 2015.  We ended 2015 with $3.1 
billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.9 billion of total capacity under our available liquidity 
facilities.  

Our financial performance in 2015 demonstrated the benefit of a diversified portfolio of businesses in a low commodity 
price environment.  We continue to focus on the following strategic priorities:

•  Operating Excellence.  Our commitment to operating excellence guides everything we do.  We are committed to 

protecting the health and safety of everyone who has a role in our operations and the communities in which we 
operate.  Continuous improvement in safety, environmental stewardship, reliability and cost efficiency is a 
fundamental requirement for our company and employees. We employ rigorous training and audit programs to 
drive ongoing improvement in both personal and process safety as we strive for zero incidents. Since we cannot 
control commodity prices, controlling operating expenses and overhead costs, within the context of our 
commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, is a high priority.  We actively monitor these costs using 
various methodologies that are reported to senior management.  We are committed to protecting the environment 
and strive to reduce our environmental footprint throughout our operations.  Optimizing utilization rates at our 
refineries through reliable and safe operations enables us to capture the value available in the market in terms of 
prices and margins.  During 2015, our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 91 percent.

•  Growth.  We have budgeted $3.9 billion in capital expenditures and investments in 2016, including $0.3 billion 
for Phillips 66 Partners.  Including our share of expected capital spending by joint ventures DCP Midstream, 
LLC (DCP Midstream), Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) and WRB Refining LP (WRB), 
our total 2016 capital program is expected to be $5.3 billion.  This program is designed primarily to grow our 
Midstream and Chemicals segments, which have planned expansions for manufacturing and logistics capacity.  
The need for additional new gathering and processing, pipeline, storage and distribution infrastructure–driven by 
domestic unconventional crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas production–is creating capital 
investment opportunities in our Midstream business.  Over the next few years, CPChem plans significant 

32

reinvestment of its earnings to build additional manufacturing capacity benefiting from cost-advantaged NGL 
feedstocks.  We continue to focus on funding the most attractive growth opportunities across our portfolio.

In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire 
primarily fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other 
transportation and midstream assets.  Phillips 66 Partners provides a cost-efficient vehicle to fund Midstream 
growth. 

•  Returns.  We plan to improve refining returns by increasing throughput of advantaged feedstocks, disciplined 
capital allocation and portfolio optimization.  A disciplined capital allocation process ensures that we focus 
investments in projects that generate competitive returns throughout the business cycle.  During 2015, 93 percent 
of the company's U.S. crude slate was advantaged.

•  Distributions.  We believe shareholder value is enhanced through, among other things, consistent and ongoing 

growth of regular dividends, supplemented by share repurchases.  We increased our quarterly dividend rate by 12 
percent during 2015, and have increased it 180 percent since our separation from ConocoPhillips in 2012 (the 
Separation).  Regular dividends demonstrate the confidence our management has in our capital structure and 
operation’s capability to generate free cash flow throughout the business cycle.  Through December 31, 2015, we 
have cumulatively repurchased $6.4 billion, or approximately 92.5 million shares, of our common stock.  At the 
discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to increase dividends annually and fund our share repurchase 
program while continuing to invest in the growth of our business.  In October 2015, our Board of Directors 
increased our current share repurchase authorization by $2 billion resulting in a total authorization of $4 billion.  
Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized repurchases of our outstanding common stock totaling up 
to $9 billion.  

•  High-Performing Organization.  We strive to attract, train, develop and retain individuals with the knowledge 

and skills to implement our business strategy and who support our values and culture.  Throughout the company, 
we focus on getting results in the right way and believe success is both what we do and how we do it.  We 
encourage collaboration throughout our company, while valuing differences, respecting diversity of thought, and 
creating a great place to work.  We foster an environment of learning and development through structured 
programs focused on enhancing functional and technical skills where employees are engaged in our business and 
committed to their own, as well as the company’s, success.

Business Environment
The dramatic fall in commodity prices, which started during the second half of 2014, continued throughout 2015.  The 
U.S. oil rig count declined over 60 percent and crude oil production declined well below its peak which was set during 
the second quarter of 2015.  Additionally, the discount for U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) vs. the 
international benchmark Brent narrowed over the course of 2015 as logistical constraints between oil producing areas and 
major refining centers were incrementally removed during the year.  Falling commodity prices have had a variety of 
impacts, both favorable and unfavorable, on our downstream businesses that vary by segment. 

Earnings in the Midstream segment, which includes our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream, are closely 
linked to NGL prices, natural gas prices and crude oil prices.  NGL prices weakened throughout 2015 as NGL production 
growth from liquids-rich shale plays outpaced domestic demand growth from the petrochemical industry while export 
capacity remained constrained—driving prices lower and pushing inventories higher.  Natural gas prices weakened 
throughout 2015 as well, as natural gas production growth continued and unseasonably warm weather limited demand.

During 2015, our Chemicals segment, which consists of our 50 percent equity investment in CPChem, continued to 
benefit from feedstock cost advantages associated with manufacturing ethylene in regions of the world with significant 
NGL production.  The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key 
products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors.  The petrochemicals industry continues to experience 
lower ethylene cash costs in regions of the world where ethylene manufacturing is based upon NGL rather than crude oil-
derived feedstocks.  In particular, companies with North American light NGL-based crackers have benefited from lower-
priced feedstocks; however, the ethylene-to-polyethylene chain margins were compressed in 2015 because of the 
significant decline in crude oil prices that began in 2014.

Our Refining segment is driven by several factors including refining margins, cost control, refinery throughput and 
product yields.  Refinery margins, often referred to as crack spreads, are measured as the difference between market 
prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil.  During 2015, the U.S. 3:2:1 crack spread (three barrels of crude oil 
producing two barrels of gasoline and one barrel of diesel) improved over 2014 across all quarters, largely attributable to 
strong gasoline crack spreads which were driven by robust demand growth both in the U.S. and globally.  The diesel 
crack spread weakened throughout 2015, driven by growing product inventories as a result of high refinery utilization to 
capture robust gasoline cracks and an unseasonably warm fourth quarter.  The U.S. West Coast crack spread increased 
year over year as a result of significant refinery planned/unplanned maintenance in the region.

European refineries benefited during 2015 as domestic and export gasoline demand expanded considerably.  Northwest 
European crack spreads on average increased in the first three quarters of the year and declined in the fourth quarter 
resulting in an average increase in 2015 compared to 2014.  Strong margins were driven by the strength in gasoline 
margins which offset subdued diesel cracks during much of the year as large volumes of imported diesel from the United 
States, India, Asia Pacific and Russia kept diesel margins under pressure throughout the second half of the year.

Results for our Marketing and Specialties (M&S) segment depend largely on marketing fuel margins, lubricant margins 
and other specialty product margins.  While M&S margins are primarily based on market factors, largely determined by 
the relationship between supply and demand, marketing fuel margins, in particular, are primarily determined by the trend 
of spot prices for refined products.  Generally speaking, a downward trend of spot prices has a favorable impact on 
marketing fuel margins, while an upward trend of spot prices has an unfavorable impact on marketing fuel margins.

Our earnings from continuing operations increased $171 million, or 4 percent, in 2015, primarily resulting from: 

• 

Improved realized refining margins as a result of increased gasoline crack spreads and improved secondary 
product margins. 

•  Recognition of $242 million after-tax in 2015, compared with $126 million after-tax in 2014, of the deferred 

gain related to the sale in 2013 of the Immingham Combined Heat and Power Plant (ICHP).

These increases were partially offset by:

•  Lower equity earnings from DCP Midstream, primarily as a result of goodwill and other asset impairments and 

lower commodity prices. 

•  Lower ethylene margins in our Chemicals segment. 

2014 vs. 2013 

Our earnings from continuing operations increased $391 million, or 11 percent, in 2014, primarily resulting from:  

•  A gain on disposition and related deferred tax adjustment associated with the sale of Malaysian Refining 

Company Sdn. Bdh. (MRC), together totaling $369 million after-tax.   

Improved ethylene and polyethylene margins in our Chemicals segment. 

Improved worldwide marketing margins.

• 

• 

•  Recognition in 2014 of $126 million, after-tax, of the previously deferred gain related to the sale in 2013 of the 

ICHP. 

• 

Improved secondary products margins in our Refining segment. 

35

 
 
 
These increases were partially offset by: 

•  A $131 million after-tax impairment related to the Whitegate Refinery in Cork, Ireland. 

•  Lower realized gasoline and distillate margins as a result of decreased market crack spreads and lower feedstock 

advantage. 

•  Lower equity earnings from DCP Midstream, reflecting the sharp drop in NGL and crude oil prices in the second 

half of 2014. 

Discontinued operations in 2014 included the recognition of a noncash $696 million after-tax gain related to the Phillips 
Specialty Products Inc. (PSPI) share exchange.

Income Statement Analysis

2015 vs. 2014 

Sales and other operating revenues  decreased 39 percent in 2015, while purchased crude oil and products decreased 46 
percent.  The decreases were primarily due to lower average prices for petroleum products, crude oil and NGL.

Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 36 percent in 2015, primarily resulting from decreased earnings from DCP 
Midstream, CPChem and WRB. 

•  Equity in earnings of DCP Midstream decreased $676 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower 

NGL, crude oil and natural gas prices.  In addition, DCP Midstream recorded goodwill and other asset 
impairments in 2015 due to the significant downturn in commodity prices since mid-2014. 

•  Equity in earnings of CPChem decreased 19 percent, primarily due to lower ethylene margins and lower equity 

earnings from CPChem’s equity affiliates, partially offset by lower utility costs. 

•  Equity in earnings of WRB decreased 13 percent, primarily driven by its lower realized refining margins, 

resulting from lower feedstock advantage partially offset by higher secondary product margins. 

Impairments in 2015 were $7 million, compared with $150 million in 2014. There were no significant impairments in 
2015, compared with a $131 million impairment of the Whitegate Refinery recorded in 2014.  For additional information, 
see Note 10—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Interest and debt expense increased 16 percent in 2015. The increase was mainly due to a higher average debt principal 
balance in 2015, partially offset by increased capitalized interest. 

See Note 21—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our provision 
for income taxes and effective tax rates.

2014 vs. 2013 

Sales and other operating revenues decreased 6 percent in 2014, while purchased crude oil and products decreased 8 
percent. The decreases were primarily due to lower average prices for crude oil and petroleum products.

36

  
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased 20 percent in 2014, primarily resulting from decreased earnings from WRB and 
DCP Midstream, partially offset by increased equity earnings from CPChem.  

•  Equity in earnings of WRB decreased 69 percent, mainly due to lower refining margins in the Central Corridor 
as a result of lower market crack spreads and a lower feedstock advantage, as well as lower interest income 
received from equity affiliates.  

•  Equity in earnings of DCP Midstream decreased 36 percent, primarily due to a decrease in most commodity 

prices, as well as increased costs associated with planned asset growth.  

•  Equity in earnings of CPChem increased 20 percent, primarily driven by improved ethylene and polyethylene 

realized margins related to increased sales prices. 

Net gain on dispositions in 2014 was $295 million, compared with $55 million in 2013, primarily resulting from net gains 
associated with the sale of our interest in MRC in the amount of $145 million, as well as the partial recognition of the 
previously deferred gain related to the sale of ICHP in the amount of $126 million. In 2013, net gain on dispositions primarily 
resulted from a $48 million gain on the sale of our E-GasTM Technology business.  For additional information, see Note 6
—Assets Held for Sale or Sold, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13 percent in 2014, primarily due to additional fees under 
marketing consignment fuels agreements, as well as costs associated with acquisitions. 

Impairments in 2014 were $150 million, compared with $29 million in 2013. In 2014, we recorded a $131 million 
impairment of the Whitegate Refinery.  For additional information, see Note 10—Impairments, in the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income from discontinued operations increased $645 million in 2014, compared to 2013, due to the completion of the 
PSPI share exchange in 2014.  See Note 6—Assets Held for Sale or Sold, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements, for additional information on this transaction.

***Excludes DCP Midstream.

The Midstream segment gathers, processes, transports and markets natural gas; and transports, fractionates and markets 
NGL in the United States.  In addition, this segment transports crude oil and other feedstocks to our refineries and other 
locations, delivers refined and specialty products to market, and provides terminaling and storage services for crude oil 
and petroleum products.  The Midstream segment includes our master limited partnership, Phillips 66 Partners LP, as well 
as our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream.

2015 vs. 2014 

Earnings from the Midstream segment decreased $494 million in 2015, compared with 2014.  The decrease was primarily 
due to lower earnings from DCP Midstream and our NGL business, partially offset by higher earnings from our 
transportation business.

Transportation earnings increased $55 million in 2015, compared with 2014.  This increase reflects the startup of our 
Bayway and Ferndale crude oil rail unloading facilities in the second half of 2014, as well as a full year of operations 
from the Beaumont Terminal acquired in 2014.  Increased railcar fleet activities, higher terminal revenues, and improved 
earnings from equity affiliates also benefited earnings in 2015.  These benefits were partially offset by higher earnings 
attributable to noncontrolling interests.

38

 
 
 
 
 
 
Earnings associated with our investment in DCP Midstream decreased $459 million in 2015, compared with 2014.  The 
decrease in 2015 mainly resulted from lower NGL, crude oil, and natural gas prices, partially offset by increased volumes 
due to asset growth, and lower operating costs as a result of cost saving initiatives.  In addition, goodwill and other asset 
impairments recorded by DCP Midstream in 2015 contributed to the loss recognized from our investment in DCP 
Midstream.  DCP Midstream performed a goodwill impairment assessment and other asset impairment assessments based 
on internal discounted cash flow models taking into account various observable and non-observable factors, such as 
prices, volumes, expenses and discount rates.  The impairment tests resulted in DCP Midstream’s recognition of a $460 
million goodwill impairment and $342 million in other asset impairments, net of tax impacts. Together, these 
impairments reduced our equity earnings from DCP Midstream by $232 million after-tax. 

DCP Midstream Partners, LP (DCP Partners), a master limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, periodically issues 
limited partner units to the public.  These issuances benefited our equity in earnings from DCP Midstream, on an after-tax 
basis, by approximately $1 million in 2015, compared with approximately $45 million in 2014.

The earnings from our NGL business decreased $90 million in 2015, compared with 2014.  The decrease was primarily 
driven by lower realized margins and higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. We also incurred higher tax 
expense in 2015, driven by a lower manufacturing deduction resulting from bonus depreciation associated with the start-
up of Sweeny Fractionator One.  These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings from equity affiliates.

See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on market factors impacting this year’s 
results.

As previously disclosed, in early 2015 we and our co-venturer in DCP Midstream agreed to forgo cash distributions from 
DCP Midstream due to the significant decrease in commodity prices since mid-2014.  The sustained weak commodity 
price environment during 2015 caused DCP Midstream to impair its goodwill in 2015 by $460 million, and impair certain 
assets and in-process capital projects in the fourth quarter of 2015 by an additional $342 million.  To strengthen its 
balance sheet, during the fourth quarter of 2015 we contributed $1.5 billion of cash to DCP Midstream, while our co-
venturer contributed its interests in certain operating assets held as equity investments.  At December 31, 2015, the 
carrying value of our investment in DCP Midstream was approximately $2.3 billion.  We will continue to monitor DCP 
Midstream’s operations and the continued weak commodity price environment for any further impacts on DCP 
Midstream or the carrying value of our investment. 

2014 vs. 2013  

Earnings from the Midstream segment increased $38 million in 2014, compared with 2013.  The improvement was 
primarily driven by higher earnings from our Transportation and NGL businesses, partially offset by lower earnings from 
DCP Midstream.  

Transportation earnings increased $34 million in 2014, compared with 2013.  This increase primarily resulted from 
increased throughput fees, as well as higher earnings associated with railcar activity in 2014.  These increases were 
partially offset by higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, reflecting the contribution of previously wholly 
owned assets to Phillips 66 Partners. 

The $75 million decrease in earnings of DCP Midstream in 2014 primarily resulted from a decrease in NGL and crude 
prices in the latter part of 2014.  NGL and crude prices have continued to decline in the early part of 2015.  In addition, 
earnings decreased as costs associated with asset growth and maintenance increased in 2014, compared with 2013.  
Earnings further declined due to DCP Midstream’s contribution of assets to DCP Partners.  Following the contribution, a 
percentage of the earnings from these assets are attributable to public unitholders, thus decreasing income attributable to 
DCP Midstream and, thereby, Phillips 66.  See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for 
additional information on market factors impacting DCP Midstream’s results.

DCP Partners unit issuances benefited our equity in earnings from DCP Midstream, on an after-tax basis, by 
approximately $45 million in 2014, compared with approximately $62 million in 2013.

39

Earnings from the NGL business increased $79 million, compared with 2013.  The increase was primarily due to 
improved margins driven by strong propane prices in early 2014.  Additionally, 2014 earnings benefited from gains 
related to seasonal propane and butane storage activity.  Also, earnings improved due to higher equity earnings from DCP 
Sand Hills, LLC (Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills, LLC (Southern Hills).  These increases were partially offset by an 
increase in costs associated with growth projects.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent interest in CPChem, which we account for under the equity method.  
CPChem uses NGL and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals.  These products are then marketed and sold or used 
as feedstocks to produce plastics and other chemicals.  We structure our reporting of CPChem’s operations around two 
primary business segments: Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) and Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics (SA&S).  The O&P 
business segment produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products; ethylene produced is primarily consumed 
within CPChem for the production of polyethylene, normal alpha olefins and polyethylene pipe.  The SA&S business 
segment manufactures and markets aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, styrene, paraxylene and 
cyclohexane, as well as polystyrene and styrene-butadiene copolymers.  SA&S also manufactures and/or markets a 
variety of specialty chemical products.  Unless otherwise noted, amounts referenced below reflect our net 50 percent 
interest in CPChem.

2015 vs. 2014 

Earnings from the Chemicals segment decreased $175 million, or 15 percent, in 2015, compared with 2014.  The 
decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower margins resulting from lower sales prices, lower earnings from 
CPChem’s O&P equity affiliates, and higher turnaround and maintenance activities.  

These decreases were partially offset by higher ethylene and polyethylene sales volumes, as well as lower repair costs 
due to the impact on 2014 costs of the fire at CPChem’s Port Arthur, Texas facility.  Lower feedstock costs, lower utility 
costs due to falling natural gas prices, and lower impairment charges also benefited the 2015 operating results. 

In July 2014, a localized fire occurred in the olefins unit at CPChem’s Port Arthur, Texas facility, shutting down ethylene 
production.  The Port Arthur ethylene unit restarted in November 2014.  CPChem incurred, on a 100 percent basis, $85 
million of associated repair and rebuild costs.  Because the Port Arthur ethylene unit was down due to the fire, CPChem 
experienced a significant reduction in production and sales in several of its product lines stemming from the lack of the 
Port Arthur ethylene supply in 2014.  CPChem recorded earnings, on a 100 percent basis, of $88 million and $120 
million for business interruption and property damage insurance proceeds in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on market factors impacting CPChem’s 
results.

2014 vs. 2013

Earnings from the Chemicals segment increased $151 million, or 15 percent, in 2014, compared with 2013.  The increase 
in earnings was primarily driven by improved ethylene and polyethylene realized margins due to higher sales prices.  
Additionally, Chemicals benefited from higher equity earnings from CPChem’s O&P equity affiliates.

These increases were partially offset by lower ethylene and polyethylene sales volumes and increased costs related to the 
Port Arthur facility fire.  In addition, impairments of $69 million after-tax in 2014 further offset a portion of the increase 
to earnings.

The Refining segment buys, sells and refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products (such as gasoline, 
distillates and aviation fuels) at 14 refineries, mainly in the United States and Europe.

2015 vs. 2014 

Earnings for the Refining segment increased $784 million, or 44 percent, compared with 2014.  The increase in earnings 
in 2015 primarily resulted from higher realized refining margins due to higher gasoline crack spreads and improved 
secondary product margins, as well as lower utility costs.  These increases were partially offset by lower feedstock 
advantage, lower distillate crack spreads, lower clean product differentials, and lower refining volumes as a result of 
higher unplanned downtime and turnaround activities. 

See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on industry crack spreads and other 
market factors impacting this year’s results.

Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 91 percent in 2015, compared to 94 percent in 2014.  The 
decrease reflects higher unplanned downtime and turnaround activities. 

Effective January 1, 2015, we aligned the results of the activities previously included in “Other Refining” into the 
Atlantic Basin/Europe, Gulf Coast, Central Corridor, and Western/Pacific refining regions. There were no changes to the 
consolidated Refining operating segment as a result of this alignment. The new alignment is presented for the year ended 
December 31, 2015, with the prior periods retrospectively adjusted for comparability. 

2014 vs. 2013 

Earnings for the Refining segment were $1,771 million in 2014, an increase of $24 million, or 1 percent, compared with 
2013.  The slight increase in earnings in 2014 was primarily due to higher realized refining margins related to secondary 
products, as well as increased volumes.  In addition, earnings were impacted by a gain on disposition and a related 
deferred tax adjustment associated with the sale of MRC, together totaling $369 million after-tax.  

These increases were mostly offset by: 

•  Lower earnings from decreased gasoline and distillate margins. 

•  Negative impacts due to inventory draws in a declining price environment.

• 

Impairment of the Whitegate Refinery of $131 million after-tax. 

•  Lower interest income received from equity affiliates. 

Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization rate was 94 percent in 2014, compared to 93 percent in 2013.  The 
increase reflects lower unplanned downtime related to power outages that occurred in the Gulf Coast region in 2013.

The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, distillates and aviation 
fuels), mainly in the United States and Europe.  In addition, this segment includes the manufacturing and marketing of 
specialty products (such as base oils and lubricants), as well as power generation operations.  

2015 vs. 2014 

Earnings from the M&S segment increased $153 million, or 15 percent, in 2015, compared with 2014.  In July 2013, we 
completed the sale of ICHP, and deferred the gain from the sale due to an indemnity provided to the buyer.  We 
recognized $242 million after-tax and $126 million after-tax of the deferred gain in 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

Earnings from the M&S segment also benefited from higher domestic marketing activities, higher domestic marketing 
and lubricants volumes, and increased tax credits from biodiesel blending activities. These benefits were partially offset 
by lower international marketing margins and lubricants margins.  

See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on marketing fuel margins and other 
market factors impacting 2015 results.

2014 vs. 2013

Earnings from the M&S segment increased $140 million, or 16 percent, in 2014, compared with 2013.  Both U.S. and 
international marketing margins benefited from the timing effect of falling gasoline prices experienced in the second half 
of 2014.  U.S. marketing also benefited from a full year of consignment agreements entered into in 2013, while 
international marketing margins also benefited from foreign exchange gains in 2014.  

In 2014, we recognized $126 million after-tax of the deferred gain related to the sale in 2013 of the ICHP, increasing 
earnings.  These increases were partially offset by the lack of ICHP earnings in 2014, compared with earnings of $53 
million in 2013.

Net interest expense consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest.  Net 
interest expense increased $26 million in 2015, compared with 2014, primarily due to a higher average debt principal 
balance as a result of the issuance of debt in the fourth quarter of 2014 and Phillips 66 Partners’ debt issuance in the first 
quarter of 2015. The increase was partially offset by higher capitalized interest.  For additional information, see Note 13
—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The category “Other” includes certain income tax expenses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in 
operation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other costs not directly associated with an operating 
segment.  The increase in costs in 2015 was primarily due to foreign tax credit carryforwards that were utilized in 2014 
and other tax adjustments made in 2015. 

2014 vs. 2013

Net interest expense decreased $6 million in 2014, compared with 2013, primarily due to increased capitalized interest.  
This decrease in expense was partially offset due to an increase in average debt outstanding in 2014, reflecting the 
issuance of debt in late 2014.  For additional information, see Note 13—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $11 million in 2014, compared with 2013.  The increase was 
primarily due to increased employee benefit costs and charitable contributions.  

The decrease in other costs was primarily due to increased utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards.  In addition, 
higher environmental costs negatively affected our 2013 results.

In December 2013, we entered into an agreement to exchange the stock of PSPI, a flow improver business that was 
included in our M&S segment, for shares of Phillips 66 common stock owned by the other party to the transaction.  In 
February 2014, we completed the PSPI share exchange, resulting in the receipt of approximately 17.4 million shares of 
Phillips 66 common stock and the recognition of a before-tax noncash gain of $696 million.  See Note 6—Assets Held 
for Sale or Sold, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on this transaction.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources, including cash 
generated from operating activities and Phillips 66 Partners’ debt and equity financings.  During 2015, we generated $5.7 
billion in cash from operations and received $1.1 billion from Phillips 66 Partners’ issuance of senior notes and $0.4 
billion from the issuance of Phillips 66 Partners’ common units to the public.  We used available cash primarily for 
capital expenditures and investments ($5.8 billion), including a contribution to DCP Midstream ($1.5 billion); debt 
repayments ($0.9 billion); repurchases of our common stock ($1.5 billion); and dividend payments on our common stock 
($1.2 billion).  During 2015, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.1 billion, to $3.1 billion.

In addition to cash flows from operating activities, we rely on our commercial paper and credit facility programs, asset 
sales and our ability to issue securities using our shelf registration statement to support our short- and long-term liquidity 
requirements.  We believe current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations, together with access to 
external sources of funds as described below under “Significant Sources of Capital,” will be sufficient to meet our 
funding requirements in the near and long term, including our capital spending, dividend payments, defined benefit plan 
contributions, debt repayment and share repurchases. 

Significant Sources of Capital

Operating Activities
During 2015, cash of $5,713 million was provided by operating activities, a 62 percent increase over 2014.  Net income 
in 2015 was lower than 2014; however, in both years large noncash items affected earnings, including the gain on the 
PSPI exchange in 2014, recognition in 2015 and 2014 of a deferred gain from a 2013 asset disposition, and goodwill and 
other asset impairments by DCP Midstream in 2015.  Excluding these items, underlying earnings in 2015 were slightly 
improved compared with 2014, primarily reflecting increased refining margins and increased domestic marketing 
volumes, partially offset by lower midstream prices.  Negative working capital impacted operating cash flow by $221 
million and $1,020 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The lower negative working capital impact in 2015 was 
driven by decreased refining payables due to lower feedstock costs in 2015 as compared with 2014, partially offset by a 
reduction in receivables due to reduced commodity prices.  See the following paragraph for a discussion of 2014 working 
capital effects.

During 2014, cash of $3,529 million was provided by operating activities, a 41 percent decrease from cash from 
operations of $6,027 million in 2013.  Although net income was higher in 2014 than in 2013, certain large noncash items 
benefitted 2014 earnings, including the gain on the PSPI exchange, gains from asset dispositions and the deferred tax 
effects of certain asset dispositions.  Excluding these items, underlying earnings in 2014 were similar to 2013.  However, 
working capital negatively impacted 2014 operating cash flow by $1,020 million, compared with a positive impact of 
$880 million in 2013.  Working capital impacts in 2014 reflected the negative impact of lower commodity prices on 
accounts payable, with a lesser positive impact on accounts receivable as we generally carry higher payables on our 

47

balance sheet than receivables.  By comparison, accounts payable activity increased cash from operations by $360 
million in 2013, reflecting both higher volumes and commodity prices, while lower refining margins, reflecting less 
favorable market conditions and tightening of crude differentials, negatively impacted 2013 working capital.  Benefiting 
2014 operating cash flow, compared with 2013, was the receipt of a special distribution from WRB, of which $760 
million was considered an operating cash flow, partially offset by lower distributions from CPChem.

Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, NGL prices, 
and chemicals margins.  Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile, and are driven by market conditions 
over which we have little or no control.  Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would 
expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.

The level and quality of output from our refineries also impacts our cash flows.  Factors such as operating efficiency, 
maintenance turnarounds, market conditions, feedstock availability and weather conditions can affect output.  We 
actively manage the operations of our refineries, and any variability in their operations typically has not been as 
significant to cash flows as that caused by margins and prices.  Our worldwide refining crude oil capacity utilization was 
91 percent in 2015, compared with 94 percent in 2014.  We expect 2016 utilization to be in the mid 90-percent range. 

Equity Affiliates
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates, including 
DCP Midstream, CPChem and WRB.  Over the three years ended December 31, 2015, we received distributions of $452 
million from DCP Midstream, $2,879 million from CPChem and $2,938 million from WRB.  We cannot control the 
amount or timing of future distributions from equity affiliates; therefore, future distributions by these and other equity 
affiliates are not assured.  We and our co-venturer in DCP Midstream have agreed to forgo distributions from DCP 
Midstream during the current low-commodity price environment.

During the second quarter of 2015, CPChem made a special distribution to its owners, with our share totaling $696 
million.  CPChem funded the distribution by issuing $1.4 billion of senior notes with maturities ranging from three to 
five years, with a combination of fixed and variable interest rates.  This cash inflow from CPChem was included in 
operating cash flows, as we had cumulative undistributed equity earnings attributable to CPChem in excess of the amount 
distributed.

WRB is a 50-percent-owned business venture with Cenovus Energy Inc. (Cenovus).  Cenovus was obligated to 
contribute $7.5 billion, plus accrued interest, to WRB over a 10-year period that began in 2007.  In 2014, Cenovus 
prepaid its remaining balance under this obligation.  As a result, WRB declared a special dividend, which was distributed 
to the co-venturers in 2014.  Of the $1,232 million that we received, $760 million was considered a return on our 
investment in WRB (an operating cash inflow), and $472 million was considered a return of our investment in WRB (an 
investing cash inflow).  The return-of-investment portion of the dividend was included in the “Proceeds from asset 
dispositions” line in our consolidated statement of cash flows.  A further $129 million of distributions from WRB during 
2014 was considered a return of investment.

Asset Sales
Net proceeds from asset sales in 2015 were $70 million, compared with $1,244 million in 2014 and $1,214 million in 
2013.  The 2015 net proceeds were attributed to the sale of the Bantry Bay terminal in Ireland and the sale of certain 
retail sites in Kansas and Missouri, and were partially offset by a working capital true-up related to the 2014 sale of our 
interest in MRC.  The 2014 proceeds included a portion of the WRB special dividend as discussed above, as well as the 
sale of our interest in MRC.  The 2013 proceeds included the sale of a power plant in the United Kingdom, as well as our 
gasification technology.

Foreign Cash Holdings
At December 31, 2015, approximately 44 percent of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance was available to 
fund domestic opportunities without incurring material additional U.S. income taxes in excess of the amounts already 
accrued in the financial statements.  We believe the remaining amount, primarily attributable to cash we hold in foreign 
locations where we have asserted our intention to indefinitely reinvest earnings, does not materially affect our 
consolidated liquidity due to the following factors:

48

•  A substantial portion of our foreign cash supports the liquidity needs and regulatory requirements of our foreign 

operations.

•  We have the ability to fund a significant portion of our domestic capital requirements with cash provided by 

domestic operating activities.

•  We have access to U.S. capital markets through our $5 billion committed revolving credit facility, commercial 

paper program, and shelf registration statement.

See Note 21—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on income 
taxes associated with foreign earnings.

Income Taxes
As part of our normal tax administrative process, we made scheduled U.S. federal income tax payments in 2015 using the 
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) safe harbor method for estimated 2015 taxable income.  We determined that a portion of 
those payments is refundable as an overpayment of estimated tax, primarily due to U.S. tax legislation enacted late in the 
year, and we filed a refund claim with the IRS in the first quarter of 2016.  We expect this refund to benefit cash from 
operations in the first quarter of 2016 by approximately $590 million.

Phillips 66 Partners LP

Initial Public Offering
In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners LP, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily 
fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation and 
midstream assets.  On July 26, 2013, Phillips 66 Partners completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 18,888,750 
common units at a price of $23.00 per unit.  Phillips 66 Partners received $404 million in net proceeds from the sale of 
the units, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, structuring fees and offering expenses.

Contributions to Phillips 66 Partners LP
Effective March 1, 2014, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners certain transportation, terminaling and storage assets for 
total consideration of $700 million.  These assets consisted of the Gold Line products system and the Medford spheres, 
two recently constructed refinery-grade propylene storage spheres.  Phillips 66 Partners financed the acquisition with 
cash on hand of $400 million (primarily reflecting its IPO proceeds), the issuance to us of 3,530,595 and 72,053 
additional common and general partner units, respectively, valued at $140 million, and a five-year, $160 million note 
payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66.

Effective December 1, 2014, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners certain logistics assets for total consideration of $340 
million.  These assets consisted of two recently constructed crude oil rail-unloading facilities located at or adjacent to our 
Bayway and Ferndale refineries, and the Cross Channel Connector pipeline assets located near the partnership’s Pasadena 
terminal.  Phillips 66 Partners financed the acquisition with the borrowing of $28 million under its revolving credit 
facility, the assumption of a five-year, $244 million note payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66, and the issuance to 
Phillips 66 of 1,066,412 common and 21,764 general partner units valued at $68 million.

In addition to these two transactions, we made smaller contributions to Phillips 66 Partners of projects under 
development in the fourth quarter of 2014, for consideration in the aggregate of approximately $55 million.

Effective March 2, 2015, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners our one-third equity interests in Sand Hills and Southern 
Hills, as well as our 19.5 percent equity interest in Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer), for total consideration of 
$1,010 million.  Each of these investments is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Phillips 66 Partners 
financed the acquisition with $880 million in cash, partially funded by a public offering of common units representing 
limited partner interests and debt financing, and the issuance to us of 1,587,376 and 139,538 additional common units 
and general partner units, respectively, with an aggregate fair value of $130 million.

Effective December 1, 2015, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners our 40 percent equity interest in Bayou Bridge 
Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge) for total consideration of $70 million.  This investment is accounted for under the equity 
method of accounting.  Phillips 66 Partners financed one-half of the acquisition with a $35 million note payable to us and 
one-half with the issuance to us of 606,056 and 12,369 additional common units and general partner units, respectively, 

49

having an aggregate fair value of $35 million.  Phillips 66 Partners immediately repaid the note payable.  See Note 13—
Debt and Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional 
information.

Ownership
At December 31, 2015, we owned a 69 percent limited partner interest and a 2 percent general partner interest in Phillips 
66 Partners, while its public unitholders owned a 29 percent limited partner interest.  We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners 
as a variable interest entity for financial reporting purposes.  See Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), in the Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on why we consolidate the partnership.  As a result of 
this consolidation, the public unitholders’ ownership interest in Phillips 66 Partners is reflected as an $809 million 
noncontrolling interest in our financial statements at December 31, 2015.  Generally, contributions of assets by us to 
Phillips 66 Partners will eliminate in consolidation, except for third-party debt or equity offerings made by Phillips 66 
Partners to finance such transactions.  For the first contribution in 2015 together with the public offerings of common 
units and senior notes discussed below, our consolidated cash increased by $1.5 billion, consolidated debt increased by 
$1.1 billion and consolidated equity increased by $384 million as a result of the transactions.  The Bayou Bridge 
contribution in 2015 discussed above did not impact our consolidated financial statements.  For the 2014 contributions 
discussed above, the first did not impact our consolidated financial statements, while the second increased consolidated 
cash and debt by $28 million at the time of the transaction.

Debt and Equity Financings
In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners closed on a public offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 
unsecured senior notes, consisting of:

• 

• 

• 

$300 million of 2.646% Senior Notes due 2020.

$500 million of 3.605% Senior Notes due 2025.

$300 million of 4.680% Senior Notes due 2045.

Interest on each series of the senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners completed a public offering of 5,250,000 common units representing limited 
partner interests.  The net proceeds received at closing were $384 million. 

Phillips 66 Partners used a portion of the net proceeds of both the debt and equity offerings to fund its March 2015 
acquisition transaction described above.  See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements, for additional information on this acquisition.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 has a $5 billion revolving credit facility that extends until December 2019.  The facility may be used for direct 
bank borrowings, as support for issuances of letters of credit, or as support for our commercial paper program.  The 
facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions and contains covenants that we consider usual and customary 
for an agreement of this type for comparable commercial borrowers, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-
capitalization ratio of 60 percent.  The agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when 
due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; cross-payment default and cross-acceleration 
(in each case, to indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount); and a change of control.  Borrowings under the facility 
will incur interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin based on the credit rating of our senior 
unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody’s 
Investors Service (Moody’s).  The facility also provides for customary fees, including administrative agent fees and 
commitment fees.  As of December 31, 2015, no amount had been directly drawn under our $5 billion credit facility; 
however, $51 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by this facility.  As a result, we ended 2015 
with $4.9 billion of capacity under this facility.

We have a $5 billion commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs.  Commercial paper maturities are 
generally limited to 90 days.  As of December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under our commercial paper program.

50

Phillips 66 Partners has a $500 million revolving credit facility that extends until November 2019.  The Phillips 66 
Partners facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions.  As of December 31, 2015, no amounts were 
outstanding under the facility.

Debt Financing
Our $7.5 billion of outstanding Senior Notes were issued by Phillips 66 and are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a 
100-percent-owned subsidiary.  Our senior unsecured long-term debt has been rated investment grade by S&P (BBB+) 
and Moody’s (A3).  We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic 
default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a downgrade of our credit rating.  If our credit rating 
deteriorated to a level prohibiting us from accessing the commercial paper market, we would expect to be able to access 
funds under our liquidity facilities mentioned above.

Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, 
have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities.

Other Financing
We have capital lease obligations related to equipment and transportation assets, and the use of an oil terminal in the 
United Kingdom.  These leases mature within the next eighteen years.  The present value of our minimum capital lease 
payments for these obligations as of December 31, 2015, was $208 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our normal ongoing business operations, we enter into agreements with other parties to pursue business 
opportunities, with costs and risks apportioned among the parties as provided by the agreements.  In April 2012, in 
connection with the Separation, we entered into an agreement to guarantee 100 percent of certain outstanding debt 
obligations of Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP).  At December 31, 2015, the aggregate principal amount of MSLP debt 
guaranteed by us was $157 million.

For additional information about guarantees, see Note 14—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see “Capital Spending” below.

Our debt balance at December 31, 2015, was $8.9 billion and our debt-to-capital ratio was 27 percent.  Excluding Phillips 
66 Partners’ debt of $1.1 billion and its noncontrolling interest of $809 million, our adjusted debt-to-capital ratio at 
December 31, 2015, was 25 percent.  Our target adjusted debt-to-capital ratio, excluding the impact of Phillips 66 
Partners, is between 20 and 30 percent.

On February 3, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per common share, payable 
March 1, 2016, to holders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2016.  We are forecasting a double-digit 
percentage increase in our quarterly dividend rate in 2016.

During the second half of 2013, we entered into a construction agency agreement and an operating lease agreement with 
a financial institution for the construction of our new headquarters facility in Houston, Texas.  Under the construction 
agency agreement, we act as construction agent for the financial institution over a construction period of up to three years 
and eight months, during which time we request cash draws from the financial institution to fund construction costs.  
Through December 31, 2015, approximately $486 million had been drawn to fund construction costs, of which 
approximately $440 million is recourse to us should certain events of default occur.  The operating lease becomes 
effective after construction is substantially complete and we are able to occupy the facility.  The operating lease has a 
term of five years and provides us the option, at the end of the lease term, to request to renew the lease, purchase the 
facility, or assist the financial institution in marketing it for resale.  We expect the lease to commence in the first half of 
2016.

On October 9, 2015, our Board of Directors increased our current share repurchase authorization by $2 billion resulting 
in a total authorization of $4 billion.  Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized repurchases of our 

51

outstanding common stock totaling up to $9 billion.  The share repurchases are expected to be funded primarily through 
available cash.  The shares will be repurchased from time to time in the open market at our discretion, subject to market 
conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.  We are not obligated to acquire 
any particular amount of common stock and may commence, suspend or discontinue purchases at any time or from time 
to time without prior notice.  Since the inception of our share repurchases in 2012 through December 31, 2015, we have 
repurchased a total of 92,503,292 shares at a cost of $6.4 billion.  Shares of stock repurchased are held as treasury shares.

On May 1, 2015, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a final rule focused on the safe transportation of 
flammable liquids by rail.  The final rule, which is being challenged, subjects new and existing railcars transporting crude 
oil in high volumes to heightened design standards, including thicker tank walls and heat shields, improved pressure 
relief valves and enhanced braking systems.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the new regulations on our crude 
oil railcar fleet, which is mostly held under operating leases.  The regulations become effective subsequent to the 
expiration dates of our leases.  Although we have no direct contractual obligation to retrofit these leased railcars, certain 
leases are subject to residual value guarantees.  Under the lease terms, we have the option either to purchase the railcars 
or to return them to the lessors.  If railcars are returned to the lessors, we may be required to make the lessors whole 
under the residual value guarantees, which are subject to a cap.  The current market demand for crude oil railcars is low, 
which has resulted in a significant decline in crude oil railcar prices.  Due to current market uncertainties, it is not 
currently possible to reasonably estimate the future market value for railcars at the end of their lease terms.

(a)  For additional information, see Note 13—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(b)  Represents any agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable, legally binding and specifies all 
significant terms.  We expect these purchase obligations will be fulfilled by operating cash flows in the 
applicable maturity period.  The majority of the purchase obligations are market-based contracts, including 
exchanges and futures, for the purchase of products such as crude oil and unfractionated NGL.  The products are 
mostly used to supply our refineries and fractionators, optimize the supply chain, and resell to customers.  
Product purchase commitments with third parties totaled $32,326 million.  In addition, $16,807 million are 
product purchases from CPChem, mostly for natural gas and NGL over the remaining contractual term of 
84 years, and $4,409 million from Excel Paralubes, for base oil over the remaining contractual term of 9 years.

Purchase obligations of $5,600 million are related to agreements to access and utilize the capacity of third-party 
equipment and facilities, including pipelines and product terminals, to transport, process, treat, and store 
products.  The remainder is primarily our net share of purchase commitments for materials and services for 
jointly owned facilities where we are the operator.

(c)  Excludes pensions.  For the 2016 through 2020 time period, we expect to contribute an average of $170 million 

per year to our qualified and nonqualified pension and other postretirement benefit plans in the United States and 
an average of $50 million per year to our non-U.S. plans, which are expected to be in excess of required 
minimums in many cases.  The U.S. five-year average consists of $50 million for 2016 and then approximately 
$200 million per year for the remaining four years.  Our minimum funding in 2016 is expected to be $50 million 
in the United States and $50 million outside the United States.

(d)  Excludes unrecognized tax benefits of $69 million because the ultimate disposition and timing of any payments 
to be made with regard to such amounts are not reasonably estimable or the amounts relate to potential refunds.  
Also excludes interest and penalties of $19 million.  Although unrecognized tax benefits are not a contractual 
obligation, they are presented in this table because they represent potential demands on our liquidity.

Midstream
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, DCP Midstream’s capital expenditures and investments were 
$4.4 billion on a 100 percent basis.  In 2013 and 2014, we made additional investments of $0.3 billion in both Sand Hills 
and Southern Hills, increasing our total direct investment to $0.8 billion.  In October 2015, we contributed $1.5 billion of 
cash to DCP Midstream and our co-venturer contributed its interests in certain operating assets of equal value, that are 
held as equity investments.  Upon completion of this transaction, our interest in DCP Midstream remained at 50 percent.

Other capital spending in our Midstream segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, included:

•  Construction activities related to our Sweeny Fractionator One and Freeport LPG Export Terminal projects.

•  Acquisition of a 7.1 million-barrel-storage-capacity crude oil and petroleum products terminal located near 

Beaumont, Texas.

•  Construction of rail racks to accept advantaged crude deliveries at our Bayway and Ferndale refineries.

• 

• 

Purchase of an additional 5.7 percent interest in the refined products Explorer pipeline.

Pipeline projects being developed by two of our joint ventures, Dakota Access LLC (DAPL) and Energy 
Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCOP).  We own a 25 percent interest in each of these joint ventures.

• 

Spending associated with return, reliability and maintenance projects in our Transportation and NGL businesses.

In April 2015, Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) repaid $450 million of its debt, reducing its long-term debt to 
approximately $2.6 billion.  REX funded the repayment through member cash contributions.  Our 25 percent share was 
approximately $112 million, which we contributed to REX in April 2015.

54

 
 
 
Chemicals
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, CPChem had a self-funded capital program, and thus required no 
new capital infusions from us or our co-venturer.  During this period, on a 100 percent basis, CPChem’s capital 
expenditures and investments were $5.6 billion.  In addition, CPChem’s advances to equity affiliates, primarily used for 
project construction and start-up activities, were $0.3 billion and its repayments received from equity affiliates were $0.1 
billion.

Refining
Capital spending for the Refining segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, was $2.9 billion, 
primarily for air emission reduction and clean fuels projects to meet new environmental standards, refinery upgrade 
projects to increase accessibility of advantaged crudes and improve product yields, improvements to the operating 
integrity of key processing units, and safety-related projects.

Key projects completed during the three-year period included: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Installation of new coke drums at the Ponca City refinery.

Installation of facilities to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from the fluid catalytic cracker at the Alliance 
Refinery.

Installation of a tail gas treating unit at the Humber Refinery to reduce emissions from the sulfur recovery units.

Installation of facilities to improve clean product yields at Sweeny and Lake Charles refineries.

Installation of facilities to improve processing of advantaged crudes at Alliance and Ponca City refineries. 

Major construction activities in progress include: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Installation of a crude tank to increase accessibility of waterborne crude at the Los Angeles Refinery.

Installation of facilities to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 3 gasoline regulations 
at the Sweeny, Alliance, Bayway and Lake Charles refineries.

Installation of facilities to improve processing of advantaged crudes at Billings refinery. 

Installation of facilities to improve clean product yield at Bayway and Ponca City refineries.

Generally, our equity affiliates in the Refining segment are intended to have self-funding capital programs.  During this 
three-year period, on a 100 percent basis, WRB’s capital expenditures and investments were $0.9 billion.  We expect 
WRB’s 2016 capital program to be self-funding.

Marketing and Specialties
Capital spending for the M&S segment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, was primarily for the 
acquisition of, and investments in, a limited number of retail sites in the Western and Midwestern portions of the United 
States, which have subsequently been disposed of; the acquisition of Spectrum Corporation, a private label specialty 
lubricants business headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee; the acquisition of the remaining interest that we did not 
already own in an entity that operates a power and steam generation plant; reliability and maintenance projects; and 
projects targeted at growing our international marketing business.

Corporate and Other
Capital spending for Corporate and Other during the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, was primarily for 
projects related to information technology and facilities.

2016 Budget
Our 2016 capital budget is $3.9 billion including Phillips 66 Partners’ capital budget of $0.3 billion.  This excludes our 
portion of planned capital spending by joint ventures DCP Midstream, CPChem and WRB totaling $1.4 billion, all of 
which are expected to be self-funded.

55

The Midstream capital budget of $2.3 billion is focused on growth projects, such as continued construction of the 
150,000 barrels-per-day Freeport LPG Export Terminal on the U.S. Gulf Coast, the new DAPL and ETCOP pipeline 
projects, expansion of the Beaumont Terminal, and the Bayou Bridge pipeline project.

Refining’s capital budget of $1.2 billion is directed toward reliability, safety and environmental projects, including 
compliance with the new Tier 3 gasoline specifications, as well as projects designed to improve product yields and lower 
feedstock costs.

In Marketing and Specialties, we plan to invest approximately $0.1 billion for growth and sustaining capital.  The growth 
investment reflects our continued plans to expand and enhance our fuel marketing business.

In Corporate and Other, we plan to fund approximately $0.2 billion in projects primarily related to information 
technology and facilities.

Contingencies

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against 
us or are subject to indemnifications provided by us.  We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the 
environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at 
various active and inactive sites.  We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these 
contingencies.  In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability 
when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.  If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and 
no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued.  We do 
not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries.  If applicable, we accrue receivables for 
probable insurance or other third-party recoveries.  In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative 
probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability 
exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated 
financial statements.  As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to 
accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.  Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent 
liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters.  Estimated future environmental remediation 
costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent 
of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other 
potentially responsible parties.  Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events 
evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Legal and Tax Matters
Our legal and tax matters are handled by our legal and tax organizations.  These organizations apply their knowledge, 
experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions.  We employ 
a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us.  Our process facilitates the 
early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of those cases that 
have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation.  Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation 
management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization regularly 
assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new 
accruals, is required.  In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we monitor tax legislation and court decisions, the 
status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.  See Note 21—
Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information about income-tax-related 
contingencies.

Environmental
We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other 
companies in our industry.  The most significant of these environmental laws and regulations include, among others, the:

•  U.S. Federal Clean Air Act, which governs air emissions.
•  U.S. Federal Clean Water Act, which governs discharges to water bodies.

56

 
•  European Union Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), 

which governs the manufacture, placing on the market or use of chemicals.

•  U.S. Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which 
imposes liability on generators, transporters and arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous 
substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur.

•  U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which governs the treatment, storage and disposal 

of solid waste.

•  U.S. Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires facilities to report 

toxic chemical inventories to local emergency planning committees and response departments.

•  U.S. Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, which governs the disposal of wastewater in underground injection wells.
•  U.S. Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90), under which owners and operators of onshore facilities and 

pipelines as well as owners and operators of vessels are liable for removal costs and damages that result from a 
discharge of oil into navigable waters of the United States.

•  European Union Trading Directive resulting in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which 

uses a market-based mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

These laws and their implementing regulations set limits on emissions and, in the case of discharges to water, establish 
water quality limits.  They also, in most cases, require permits in association with new or modified operations.  These 
permits can require an applicant to collect substantial information in connection with the application process, which can 
be expensive and time consuming.  In addition, there can be delays associated with notice and comment periods and the 
agency’s processing of the application.  Many of the delays associated with the permitting process are beyond the control 
of the applicant.

Many states and foreign countries where we operate also have, or are developing, similar environmental laws and 
regulations governing these same types of activities.  While similar, in some cases these regulations may impose 
additional, or more stringent, requirements that can add to the cost and difficulty of marketing or transporting products 
across state and international borders.

The ultimate financial impact arising from environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily 
determinable as new standards, such as air emission standards, water quality standards and stricter fuel regulations, 
continue to evolve.  However, environmental laws and regulations, including those that may arise to address concerns 
about global climate change, are expected to continue to have an increasing impact on our operations in the United States 
and in other countries in which we operate.  Notable areas of potential impacts include air emission compliance and 
remediation obligations in the United States.

An example of this in the fuels area is the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which imposed obligations to provide increasing 
volumes of renewable fuels in transportation motor fuels through 2012.  These obligations were changed with the 
enactment of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA).  EISA requires fuel producers and importers to 
provide additional renewable fuels for transportation motor fuels and stipulates a mix of various types to be included 
through 2022.  We have met the increasingly stringent requirements to date while establishing implementation, operating 
and capital strategies, along with advanced technology development, to address projected future requirements.  It is 
uncertain how various future requirements contained in EISA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, may be 
implemented and what their full impact may be on our operations.  For the 2016 compliance year, the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will require greater volumes of advanced and total renewable fuel than 
mandated in previous years; it is uncertain if these increased obligations will be achievable by fuel producers and 
shippers without drawing on the Renewable Identification Number (RIN) bank.  For compliance years after 2016, we do 
not know whether the EPA will utilize its authority to reduce statutory volumes.  Additionally, we may experience a 
decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to the regulatory program as currently promulgated.  This 
program continues to be the subject of possible Congressional review and re-promulgation in revised form, and the EPA’s 
recently enacted regulations pertaining to the 2014, 2015, and 2016 compliance years are subject to legal challenge, 
further creating uncertainty regarding renewable fuel volume requirements and obligations.  

The EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program was also implemented in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 
2005 and EISA.  The RFS program sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels (such as ethanol) that must be 
blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States.  A RIN represents a serial number assigned to each gallon of 
biofuel produced or imported into the United States.  As a producer of petroleum-based motor fuels, we are obligated to 

57

blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the EPA’s quota and, to the extent we do not, 
we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy our obligation under the RFS program.  The market for RINs has 
been the subject of fraudulent activity, and we have identified that we have unknowingly purchased RINs in the past that 
were invalid due to fraudulent activity of third parties.  Costs to replace fraudulently marketed RINs that have been 
determined to be invalid have not been material through December 31, 2015; however, it is reasonably possible that some 
additional RINs that we have previously purchased may also be determined to be invalid.  Should that occur, we could 
incur additional replacement charges.  Although the cost for replacing any additional fraudulently marketed RINs is not 
reasonably estimable at this time, we could have a possible exposure of approximately $150 million before tax.  It could 
take several years for this possible exposure to reach ultimate resolution; therefore, we would not expect to incur the full 
financial impact of additional fraudulent RINs replacement costs in any single interim or annual period.

We also are subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation obligations associated with 
current and past operations.  Such laws and regulations include CERCLA and RCRA and their state equivalents.  
Remediation obligations include cleanup responsibility arising from petroleum releases from underground storage tanks 
located at numerous past and present owned and/or operated petroleum-marketing outlets throughout the United States.  
Federal and state laws require contamination caused by such underground storage tank releases be assessed and 
remediated to meet applicable standards.  In addition to other cleanup standards, many states have adopted cleanup 
criteria for methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) for both soil and groundwater.

At RCRA-permitted facilities, we are required to assess environmental conditions.  If conditions warrant, we may be 
required to remediate contamination caused by prior operations.  In contrast to CERCLA, which is often referred to as 
“Superfund,” the cost of corrective action activities under RCRA corrective action programs typically is borne solely by 
us.  We anticipate increased expenditures for RCRA remediation activities may be required, but such annual expenditures 
for the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of such expenditures we have experienced over the 
past few years.  Longer-term expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate significantly.

We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the EPA and state environmental 
agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under CERCLA or an equivalent state statute.  On occasion, 
we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties.  These requests, 
notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but 
allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations.  As of December 31, 2014, we reported that we had been 
notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 34 sites within the United States.  During 
2015, we were notified of four new sites, settled and closed one site, and resolved one site, leaving 36 unresolved sites 
with potential liability at December 31, 2015. 

For most Superfund sites, our potential liability will be significantly less than the total site remediation costs because the 
percentage of waste attributable to us, versus that attributable to all other potentially responsible parties, is relatively low.  
Although liability of those potentially responsible is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for 
state sites, other potentially responsible parties at sites where we are a party typically have had the financial strength to 
meet their obligations, and where they have not, or where potentially responsible parties could not be located, our share 
of liability has not increased materially.  Many of the sites for which we are potentially responsible are still under 
investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned.  Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally 
assess site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation.  In some instances, we may 
have no liability or attain a settlement of liability.  Actual cleanup costs generally occur after the parties obtain EPA or 
equivalent state agency approval of a remediation plan.  There are relatively few sites where we are a major participant, 
and given the timing and amounts of anticipated expenditures, neither the cost of remediation at those sites nor such costs 
at all CERCLA sites, in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial 
condition.

Expensed environmental costs were $581 million in 2015 and are expected to be approximately $655 million in each of 
the years 2016 and 2017.  Capitalized environmental costs were $330 million in 2015 and are expected to be 
approximately $235 million in each of the years 2016 and 2017.  This amount does not include capital expenditures made 
for another purpose that have an indirect benefit on environmental compliance.

Accrued liabilities for remediation activities are not reduced for potential recoveries from insurers or other third parties 
and are not discounted (except those assumed in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted 
basis).

58

Many of these liabilities result from CERCLA, RCRA and similar state laws that require us to undertake certain 
investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct, or once conducted, operations or at sites where our 
generated waste was disposed.  We also have accrued for a number of sites we identified that may require environmental 
remediation, but which are not currently the subject of CERCLA, RCRA or state enforcement activities.  If applicable, 
we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries.  In the future, we may incur significant costs 
under both CERCLA and RCRA.  Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site, 
depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and 
enforcement policies, and the presence or absence of potentially liable third parties.  Therefore, it is difficult to develop 
reasonable estimates of future site remediation costs.

At December 31, 2015, our balance sheet included total accrued environmental costs of $485 million, compared with 
$496 million at December 31, 2014, and $492 million at December 31, 2013.  We expect to incur a substantial amount of 
these expenditures within the next 30 years. 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs 
and liabilities are inherent concerns in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and 
liabilities will not be incurred.  However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of 
operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

Climate Change
There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse 
gas (GHG) emissions reduction, including various regulations proposed or issued by the EPA.  These proposed or 
promulgated laws apply or could apply in states and/or countries where we have interests or may have interests in the 
future.  We consider and take into account future GHG emissions in designing and developing major facilities and 
projects, and implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce such emissions.  Laws regulating GHG emissions 
continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future 
compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, if enacted, potentially could have a material impact on our 
results of operations and financial condition as a result of increasing costs of compliance, lengthening project 
implementation and agency review items, or reducing demand for certain hydrocarbon products.  Examples of legislation 
or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations include:

•  EU ETS, which is part of the European Union’s policy to combat climate change and is a key tool for reducing 

industrial greenhouse gas emissions.  EU ETS impacts factories, power stations and other installations across all 
EU member states. 

•  California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, which requires the California Air Resources Board to develop 

regulations and market mechanisms that will target reduction of California’s GHG emissions by 25 percent by 
2020. Other GHG emissions programs in the western U.S. states have been enacted or are in the process of 
development, including amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Oregon's Low Carbon Fuel 
Standard, and Washington's cap and trade program.

•  The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), confirming that 

the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an “air pollutant” under the Federal Clean Air Act.
•  The EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine 

Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s 
and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers 
regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act.  These collectively may lead to more climate-based claims for 
damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of 
potential climate change. 

•  EPA's 2015 Final Rule regulating GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electrical generating units under 

the Federal Clean Air Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Power Plan.

•  Carbon taxes in certain jurisdictions.
•  GHG emission cap and trade programs in certain jurisdictions.

In the EU, the first phase of the EU ETS completed at the end of 2007 and Phase II was undertaken from 2008 through to 
2012.  The current phase (Phase III) runs from 2013 through to 2020, with the main changes being reduced allocation of 

59

 
free allowances and increased auctioning of new allowances.  Phillips 66 has assets that are subject to the EU ETS, and 
the company is actively engaged in minimizing any financial impact from the EU ETS.

From November 30 to December 12, 2015, more than 190 countries, including the United States, participated in the 
United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, France.  The conference culminated in what is known as the “Paris 
Agreement,” which is currently open for agreement by countries until April 22, 2016.  The Paris Agreement establishes a 
commitment by signatory parties to pursue domestic GHG emission reductions.  

In the United States, some additional form of regulation is likely to be forthcoming in the future at the federal or state 
levels with respect to GHG emissions.  Such regulation could take any of several forms that may result in the creation of 
additional costs in the form of taxes, the restriction of output, investments of capital to maintain compliance with laws 
and regulations, or required acquisition or trading of emission allowances.  We are working to continuously improve 
operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation throughout our operations.

Compliance with changes in laws and regulations that create a GHG emission trading program or GHG reduction 
requirements could significantly increase our costs, reduce demand for fossil energy derived products, impact the cost 
and availability of capital and increase our exposure to litigation.  Such laws and regulations could also increase demand 
for less carbon intensive energy sources.  An example of one such program is California’s cap and trade program, which 
was promulgated pursuant to the State’s Global Warming Solutions Act.  The program had been limited to certain 
stationary sources, which include our refineries in California, but beginning in January 2015 expanded to include 
emissions from transportation fuels distributed in California. Inclusion of transportation fuels in California’s cap and 
trade program as currently promulgated has increased our cap and trade program compliance costs.  The ultimate impact 
on our financial performance, either positive or negative, from this and similar programs, will depend on a number of 
factors, including, but not limited to:

•  Whether and to what extent legislation or regulation is enacted.
•  The nature of the legislation or regulation (such as a cap and trade system or a tax on emissions).
•  The GHG reductions required.
•  The price and availability of offsets.
•  The amount and allocation of allowances.
•  Technological and scientific developments leading to new products or services.
•  Any potential significant physical effects of climate change (such as increased severe weather events, changes in 

sea levels and changes in temperature).

•  Whether, and the extent to which, increased compliance costs are ultimately reflected in the prices of our products 

and services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for descriptions of our major accounting policies.  Certain of these 
accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that 
materially different amounts would have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been 
used.  The following discussion of critical accounting estimates, along with the discussion of contingencies in this report, 
address all important accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions could be material due to 
the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such 
matters to change.

Impairments
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a 
possible significant deterioration in future cash flows is expected to be generated by an asset group.  If, upon review, the 
sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, including applicable

liabilities, the carrying value of the long-lived assets included in the asset group is written down to estimated fair value.  
Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a judgmental assessment of the lowest level for which 
there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets (for example, at a 
refinery complex level).  Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of 
impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the following methods: the present values of expected future 
cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market 
participants; a market multiple of earnings for similar assets; or historical market transactions of similar assets, adjusted 
using principal market participant assumptions when necessary.  The expected future cash flows used for impairment 
reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of future volumes, commodity prices, 
operating costs, margins, discount rates and capital project decisions, considering all available information at the date of 
review.

Investments in nonconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method are reviewed for impairment when there 
are indicators of a loss in value, such as a lack of sustained earnings capacity or a current fair value less than the 
investment’s carrying amount.  When it is determined that an indicated impairment is other than temporary, a charge is 
recognized for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value.  

When determining whether a decline in value is other than temporary, management considers factors such as the length 
of time and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects, and our ability and intention 
to retain our investment for a period that allows for recovery.  When quoted market prices are not available, the fair value 
is usually based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions believed to 
be consistent with those used by principal market participants and a market analysis of comparable assets, if appropriate.  
Differing assumptions could affect the timing and the amount of an impairment of an investment in any period.

Asset Retirement Obligations
Under various contracts, permits and regulations, we have legal obligations to remove tangible equipment and restore the 
land at the end of operations at certain operational sites.  Our largest asset removal obligations involve asbestos 
abatement at refineries.  Estimating the timing and amount of payments for future asset removal costs is difficult.  Most 
of these removal obligations are many years, or decades, in the future, and the contracts and regulations often have vague 
descriptions of what removal practices and criteria must be met when the removal event actually occurs.  Asset removal 
technologies and costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, expenditure timing, and other inputs into 
valuation of the obligation, including discount and inflation rates, are also subject to change.

Environmental Costs
In addition to asset retirement obligations discussed above, under the above or similar contracts, permits and regulations, 
we have certain obligations to complete environmental-related projects.  These projects are primarily related to cleanup at 
domestic refineries, underground storage sites and non-operated sites.  Future environmental remediation costs are 
difficult to estimate because they are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, 
the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in 
proportion to that of other responsible parties.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill
At December 31, 2015, we had $770 million of intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives, and thus they 
are not amortized.  This judgmental assessment of an indefinite useful life must be continuously evaluated in the future.  
If, due to changes in facts and circumstances, management determines these intangible assets have finite useful lives, 
amortization will commence at that time on a prospective basis.  As long as these intangible assets are judged to have 
indefinite lives, they will be subject to annual impairment tests that require management’s judgment of the estimated fair 
value of these intangible assets.

At December 31, 2015, we had $3.3 billion of goodwill recorded in conjunction with past business combinations.  
Goodwill is not amortized.  Instead, goodwill is subject to at least annual reviews for impairment at a reporting unit level.  
The reporting unit or units used to evaluate and measure goodwill for impairment are determined primarily from the 
manner in which the business is managed.  A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component that is one level 
below an operating segment.

61

Because quoted market prices for our reporting units are not available, management applies judgment in determining the 
estimated fair values of the reporting units for purposes of performing the goodwill impairment test.  Management uses 
all available information to make this fair value determination, including observed market earnings multiples of 
comparable companies, our common stock price and associated total company market capitalization and the present 
values of expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks associated with the assets.  Sales 
or dispositions of significant assets within a reporting unit are allocated a portion of that reporting unit’s goodwill, based 
on relative fair values, which impacts the amount of gain or loss on the sale or disposition.

We completed our annual impairment test, as of October 1, 2015, and concluded that the fair value of our reporting units 
exceeded their recorded net book values (including goodwill).  The fair values of each of our Refining, Transportation 
and M&S reporting units exceeded their respective recorded net book values by over 100 percent. However, a decline in 
the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units in the future could result in an impairment.  For example, a 
prolonged or significant decline in our stock price or a significant decline in actual or forecasted earnings could provide 
evidence of a significant decline in fair value and a need to record a material impairment of goodwill for one or more of 
our reporting units.  After we’ve completed our annual test, we continue to monitor for impairment indicators, which can 
lead to further goodwill impairment testing.

Tax Assets and Liabilities
Our operations are subject to various taxes, including federal, state and foreign income taxes, property taxes, and 
transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use and payroll taxes.  We record tax liabilities based on our assessment of 
existing tax laws and regulations.  The recording of tax liabilities requires significant judgment and estimates.  We 
recognize the financial statement effects of an income tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be 
sustained upon examination by a taxing authority.  A contingent liability related to a transactional tax claim is recorded if 
the loss is both probable and estimable.  Actual incurred tax liabilities can vary from our estimates for a variety of 
reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations and different assessments of the amount of tax due.

In determining our income tax provision, we assess the likelihood our deferred tax assets will be recovered through future 
taxable income.  Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will, more likely than not, be realized.  
Judgment is required in estimating the amount of valuation allowance, if any, that should be recorded against our deferred 
tax assets.  Based on our historical taxable income, our expectations for the future, and available tax-planning strategies, 
we expect the net deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized as offsets to reversing deferred tax liabilities 
and as reductions to future taxable income.  If our actual results of operations differ from such estimates or our estimates 
of future taxable income change, the valuation allowance may need to be revised.

New tax laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are continuously being proposed or 
promulgated.  The implementation of future legislative and regulatory tax initiatives could result in increased tax 
liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time.

Projected Benefit Obligations 
Determination of the projected benefit obligations for our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans impacts the 
obligations on the balance sheet and the amount of benefit expense in the income statement.  The actuarial determination 
of projected benefit obligations and company contribution requirements involves judgment about uncertain future events, 
including estimated retirement dates, salary levels at retirement, mortality rates, lump-sum election rates, rates of return 
on plan assets, future health care cost-trend rates, and rates of utilization of health care services by retirees.  Due to the 
specialized nature of these calculations, we engage outside actuarial firms to assist in the determination of these projected 
benefit obligations and company contribution requirements.  Due to differing objectives and requirements between 
financial accounting rules and the pension plan funding regulations promulgated by governmental agencies, the actuarial 
methods and assumptions for the two purposes differ in certain important respects.  Ultimately, we will be required to 
fund all promised benefits under pension and postretirement benefit plans not funded by plan assets or investment 
returns, but the judgmental assumptions used in the actuarial calculations significantly affect periodic financial 
statements and funding patterns over time.  Benefit expense is particularly sensitive to the discount rate and return on 
plan assets assumptions.  A 1 percentage-point decrease in the discount rate assumption would increase annual benefit 
expense by an estimated $60 million, while a 1 percentage-point decrease in the return on plan assets assumption would 
increase annual benefit expense by an estimated $30 million.  In determining the discount rate, we use yields on high-
quality fixed income investments with payments matched to the estimated distributions of benefits from our plans.

62

In 2015 and 2014, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 7 percent for the U.S. pension plan assets, 
which account for 73 percent of the company’s pension plan assets.  The actual asset returns were a loss of less than 1 
percent in 2015 and a gain of 9 percent in 2014.  For the past ten years, actual returns averaged 7 percent for the U.S. 
pension plan assets.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall 
(Subtopic 825-10),” to meet its objective of providing more decision-useful information about financial instruments.  The 
majority of this ASU’s provisions amend only the presentation or disclosures of financial instruments; however, one 
provision will also affect net income.  Equity investments carried under the cost method or lower of cost or fair value 
method of accounting, in accordance with current generally accepted accounting principles, will have to be carried at fair 
value upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, with changes in fair value recorded in net income.  For equity investments that do 
not have readily determinable fair values, a company may elect to carry such investments at cost less impairments, if any, 
adjusted up or down for price changes in similar financial instruments issued by the investee, when and if observed.  
Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2016-01 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 
2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption prohibited.  We are currently evaluating the 
provisions of ASU 2016-01 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of 
operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred 
Taxes.”  The new update will simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and will require deferred tax liabilities 
and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position.  The classification shall be made at 
the tax-paying component level of an entity, after reflecting any offset of deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and 
any related valuation allowances.  Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2015-17 for annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early application for public entities 
is permitted.  The amendments can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or 
retrospectively to all periods presented.  We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2015-17.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915).”  The new standard removes the 
definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of Accounting Standard Codification and the related 
financial reporting requirements specific to development stage entities.  This ASU is intended to reduce cost and 
complexity of financial reporting for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations.  For financial 
reporting requirements other than the VIE guidance in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 was effective for 
annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2014.  For the financial reporting 
requirements related to VIEs in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual and quarterly 
reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early application for public entities is permitted.  
We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-10.  Our preliminary assessment indicates that additional 
disclosures related to VIEs may be required for our joint ventures if the planned principal operations have not 
commenced.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  The new 
standard converged guidance on recognizing revenues in contracts with customers under accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States and International Financial Reporting Standards.  This ASU is intended to improve 
comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets.  In August 
2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective 
Date.”  The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year.  Public 
business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 
2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual 
reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  
Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required.  We are currently evaluating 
the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of 
operations.  As part of our assessment work to-date, we have formed an implementation work team, completed training of 
the new ASU’s revenue recognition model and begun contract review and documentation.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial Instrument Market Risk

We and certain of our subsidiaries hold and issue derivative contracts and financial instruments that expose our cash 
flows or earnings to changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.  We may use 
financial- and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage the risks produced by changes in the prices of crude oil 
and related products, natural gas, NGL, and electric power; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange 
rates; or to capture market opportunities.

Our use of derivative instruments is governed by an “Authority Limitations” document approved by our Board of 
Directors that prohibits the use of highly leveraged derivatives or derivative instruments without sufficient market 
liquidity for comparable valuations.  The Authority Limitations document also establishes the Value at Risk (VaR) limits 
for us, and compliance with these limits is monitored daily.  Our Chief Financial Officer monitors risks resulting from 
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  Our President monitors commodity price risk.  The Commercial 
organization manages our commercial marketing, optimizes our commodity flows and positions, and monitors related 
risks of our businesses.

Commodity Price Risk
We sell into or receive supply from the worldwide crude oil, refined products, natural gas, NGL, and electric power 
markets, exposing our revenues, purchases, cost of operating activities, and cash flows to fluctuations in the prices for 
these commodities.  Generally, our policy is to remain exposed to the market prices of commodities.  Consistent with this 
policy, our Commercial organization uses derivative contracts to effectively convert our exposure from fixed-price sales 
contracts, often requested by refined product customers, back to fluctuating market prices.  Conversely, our Commercial 
organization also uses futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to accomplish the following objectives to 
optimize the value of our supply chain, and this may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in market prices:

• 

In addition to cash settlement prior to contract expiration, exchange-traded futures contracts may be settled by 
physical delivery of the commodity.  This provides another source of supply to balance physical systems or to meet 
our refinery requirements and marketing demand.

•  Manage the risk to our cash flows from price exposures on specific crude oil, refined product, natural gas, NGL, 

and electric power transactions.

•  Enable us to use the market knowledge gained from these activities to capture market opportunities such as moving 
physical commodities to more profitable locations, storing commodities to capture seasonal or time premiums, and 
blending commodities to capture quality upgrades.  Derivatives may be utilized to optimize these activities.

We use a VaR model to estimate the loss in fair value that could potentially result on a single day from the effect of 
adverse changes in market conditions on the derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments held 
or issued, including commodity purchase and sales contracts recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2015, as 
derivative instruments.  Using Monte Carlo simulation, a 95 percent confidence level and a one-day holding period, the 
VaR for those instruments issued or held for trading purposes at December 31, 2015 and 2014, was immaterial to our 
cash flows and net income.

The VaR for instruments held for purposes other than trading at December 31, 2015 and 2014, was also immaterial to our 
cash flows and net income.

64

Interest Rate Risk
The following tables provide information about our debt instruments that are sensitive to changes in U.S. interest rates.  
These tables present principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.  
Weighted-average variable rates are based on effective rates at the reporting date.  The carrying amount of our floating-
rate debt approximates its fair value.  The fair value of the fixed-rate financial instruments is estimated based on quoted 
market prices.

Report of Management

Management prepared, and is responsible for, the consolidated financial statements and the other information appearing 
in this annual report.  The consolidated financial statements present fairly the company’s financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  In preparing 
its consolidated financial statements, the company includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments 
management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  The company’s financial statements have been audited by 
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the Audit and Finance Committee of 
the Board of Directors.  Management has made available to Ernst & Young LLP all of the company’s financial records 
and related data, as well as the minutes of stockholders’ and directors’ meetings.

Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Phillips 
66’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the company’s management and directors 
regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems 
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and 
presentation.  

Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2015.  In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management 
concluded the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.

Ernst & Young LLP has issued an audit report on the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2015, and their report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Phillips 66

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Phillips 66 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended December 31, 2015.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule included in Item 
15(a)2.  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
position of Phillips 66 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), Phillips 66’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 19, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Phillips 66

We have audited Phillips 66’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Phillips 66’s management is responsible for maintaining 
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over 
financial reporting included under the heading “Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in the 
accompanying “Report of Management.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control 
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the 
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate.

In our opinion, Phillips 66 maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2015, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the 2015 consolidated financial statements of Phillips 66 and our report dated February 19, 2016 expressed an 
unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Phillips 66

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Consolidation Principles and Investments—Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary.  The 
equity method is used to account for investments in affiliates in which we have the ability to exert significant 
influence over the affiliates’ operating and financial policies.  When we do not have the ability to exert 
significant influence, the investment is either classified as available-for-sale if fair value is readily determinable, 
or the cost method is used if fair value is not readily determinable.  Undivided interests in pipelines, natural gas 
plants and terminals are consolidated on a proportionate basis.  Other securities and investments are generally 
carried at cost.

Recasted Financial Information—Certain prior period financial information has been recasted to reflect the 
current year’s presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation—Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional 
currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in 
stockholders’ equity.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses result from remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in a foreign currency into the functional currency of our subsidiary holding the asset or liability; we 
include these transaction gains and losses in current earnings.  Most of our foreign operations use their local 
currency as the functional currency.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition—Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), petroleum and 
chemical products, and other items are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when the risk of 
ownership passes to the purchaser and physical delivery of goods occurs, either immediately or within a fixed 
delivery schedule that is reasonable and customary in the industry.

Revenues associated with transactions commonly called buy/sell contracts, in which the purchase and sale of 
inventory with the same counterparty are entered into in contemplation of one another, are combined and 
reported net (i.e., on the same income statement line) in the “Purchased crude oil and products” line of our 
consolidated statement of income.

Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents are highly liquid, short-term investments that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and will mature within 90 days or less from the date of acquisition.  We carry these at 
cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Shipping and Handling Costs—We record shipping and handling costs in purchased crude oil and products.  
Freight costs billed to customers are recorded as a component of revenue.

Inventories—We have several valuation methods for our various types of inventories and consistently use the 
following methods for each type of inventory.  Crude oil and petroleum products inventories are valued at the 
lower of cost or market in the aggregate, primarily on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis.  Any necessary lower-of-
cost-or-market write-downs at year end are recorded as permanent adjustments to the LIFO cost basis.  LIFO is 
used to better match current inventory costs with current revenues and to meet tax-conformity requirements.  
Costs include both direct and indirect expenditures incurred in bringing an item or product to its existing 
condition and location, but not unusual or nonrecurring costs or research and development costs.  Materials and 
supplies inventories are valued using the weighted-average-cost method.

77

Fair Value Measurements—We categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three 
different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.  Level 1 inputs are 
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than 
quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-
corroborated inputs.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting significant 
modifications to observable related market data or our assumptions about pricing by market participants.

Derivative Instruments—Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.  We have 
elected to net derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on the balance sheet if the right of offset 
exists and certain other criteria are met.  We also net collateral payables or receivables against derivative assets 
and derivative liabilities, respectively.

Recognition and classification of the gain or loss that results from recording and adjusting a derivative to fair 
value depends on the purpose for issuing or holding the derivative.  Gains and losses from derivatives not 
designated as cash-flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings.  For derivative instruments that are 
designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gains or losses from adjusting the derivative to its fair value will 
be immediately recognized in earnings and, to the extent the hedge is effective, offset the concurrent recognition 
of changes in the fair value of the hedged item.  Gains or losses from derivative instruments that are designated 
and qualify as a cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign entity are recognized in other 
comprehensive income and appear on the balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income until the 
hedged transaction is recognized in earnings; however, to the extent the change in the value of the derivative 
exceeds the change in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged transaction, the excess gains or losses will be 
recognized immediately in earnings.

Capitalized Interest—Interest from external borrowings is capitalized on major projects with an expected 
construction period of one year or longer.  Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying asset’s 
properties, plants and equipment and is amortized over the useful life of the asset.

Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill—Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized by the 
straight-line method over their useful lives.  Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but 
are tested at least annually for impairment.  Each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of 
intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support 
indefinite useful lives.  These indefinite-lived intangibles are considered impaired if the fair value of the 
intangible asset is lower than net book value.  The fair value of intangible assets is determined based on quoted 
market prices in active markets, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value of 
intangible assets is determined based upon the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates 
and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants, or upon 
estimated replacement cost, if expected future cash flows from the intangible asset are not determinable.

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets 
acquired in a business combination.  It is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment and when events or 
changes in circumstance indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below 
carrying value.  The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting 
units.  The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the book value of the reporting unit.  
If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, including goodwill, the implied fair value of 
goodwill is calculated.  The excess, if any, of the book value over the implied fair value of the goodwill is 
charged to net income.  For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, we have three reporting units with 
goodwill balances: Transportation, Refining and Marketing and Specialties (M&S).

Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization of properties, plants and equipment are 
determined by either the individual-unit-straight-line method or the group-straight-line method (for those 
individual units that are highly integrated with other units).

Impairment of Properties, Plants and Equipment—Properties, plants and equipment (PP&E) used in 
operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible 
significant deterioration in the future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset group.  If indicators of 

78

potential impairment exist, an undiscounted cash flow test is performed.  If the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax 
cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, including applicable liabilities, the carrying value of 
the PP&E included in the asset group is written down to estimated fair value through additional amortization or 
depreciation provisions and reported in the “Impairment” line of our consolidated statement of income in the 
period in which the determination of the impairment is made.  Individual assets are grouped for impairment 
purposes at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other 
groups of assets (for example, at a refinery complex level).  Because there usually is a lack of quoted market 
prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined using one or more of the 
following methods: the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions 
believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants; a market multiple of earnings for 
similar assets; or historical market transactions of similar assets, adjusted using principal market participant 
assumptions when necessary.  Long-lived assets held for sale are accounted for at the lower of amortized cost or 
fair value, less cost to sell, with fair value determined using a binding negotiated price, if available, or present 
value of expected future cash flows as previously described.

The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on 
estimated future volumes, prices, costs, margins and capital project decisions, considering all available evidence 
at the date of review.

Impairment of Investments in Nonconsolidated Entities—Investments in nonconsolidated entities are 
assessed for impairment whenever changes in the facts and circumstances indicate a loss in value has occurred.  
When indicators exist, the fair value is estimated and compared to the investment carrying value.  If any 
impairment is judgmentally determined to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is 
written down to fair value.  The fair value of the impaired investment is based on quoted market prices, if 
available, or upon the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions 
believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants and a market analysis of comparable 
assets, if appropriate.

Maintenance and Repairs—Costs of maintenance and repairs, which are not significant improvements, are 
expensed when incurred.  Major refinery maintenance turnarounds are expensed as incurred.

Property Dispositions—When complete units of depreciable property are sold, the asset cost and related 
accumulated depreciation are eliminated, with any gain or loss reflected in the “Net gain on dispositions” line of 
our consolidated statement of income.  When less than complete units of depreciable property are disposed of or 
retired, the difference between asset cost and salvage value is charged or credited to accumulated depreciation.

Asset Retirement Obligations and Environmental Costs—The fair value of legal obligations to retire and 
remove long-lived assets are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred.  When the liability is 
initially recorded, we capitalize this cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related PP&E.  Over time, the 
liability is increased for the change in its present value, and the capitalized cost in PP&E is depreciated over the 
useful life of the related asset.  Our estimate may change after initial recognition in which case we record an 
adjustment to the liability and PP&E.

Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized, depending upon their future economic benefit.  
Expenditures relating to an existing condition caused by past operations, and those having no future economic 
benefit, are expensed.  Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis (unless 
acquired in a purchase business combination) when environmental assessments or cleanups are probable and the 
costs can be reasonably estimated.  Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties, such as 
state reimbursement funds, are recorded as assets when their receipt is probable and estimable.

Guarantees—The fair value of a guarantee is determined and recorded as a liability at the time the guarantee is 
given.  The initial liability is subsequently reduced as we are released from exposure under the guarantee.  We 
amortize the guarantee liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances 
surrounding each type of guarantee.  In cases where the guarantee term is indefinite, we reverse the liability 
when we have information indicating the liability is essentially relieved or amortize it over an appropriate time 
period as the fair value of our guarantee exposure declines over time.  We amortize the guarantee liability to the 

79

related income statement line item based on the nature of the guarantee.  When it becomes probable we will have 
to perform on a guarantee, we accrue a separate liability if it is reasonably estimable, based on the facts and 
circumstances at that time.  We reverse the fair value liability only when there is no further exposure under the 
guarantee.

Stock-Based Compensation—We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the shorter of: (1) the 
service period (i.e., the time required to earn the award); or (2) the period beginning at the start of the service 
period and ending when an employee first becomes eligible for retirement, but not less than six months, which is 
the minimum time required for an award not to be subject to forfeiture.  We have elected to recognize expense on 
a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award, whether the award was granted with ratable or 
cliff vesting.

Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial 
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which 
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and 
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Interest 
related to unrecognized tax benefits is reflected in interest expense, and penalties in operating expenses.

Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities—Excise taxes are reported 
gross within sales and other operating revenues and taxes other than income taxes, while other sales and value-
added taxes are recorded net in taxes other than income taxes.

Treasury Stock—We record treasury stock purchases at cost, which includes incremental direct transaction 
costs.  Amounts are recorded as reductions in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 2—Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective December 1, 2015, we early adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards 
Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt 
Issuance Costs” and ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with 
Line-of-Credit Arrangements.”  ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be 
presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt 
discounts.  ASU 2015-15 states that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance 
costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing these costs when they relate to a line-of-credit arrangement.  Upon 
adoption, we reclassified $54 million and $49 million as a reduction of debt on our 2015 and 2014 consolidated balance 
sheets, respectively.

Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) 

In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners LP, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily 
fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation and 
midstream assets.  We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners as we determined that Phillips 66 Partners is a VIE and we are the 
primary beneficiary.  As general partner of Phillips 66 Partners, we have the ability to control its financial interests, as 
well as the ability to direct the activities of Phillips 66 Partners that most significantly impact its economic performance.  
See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, for additional information.

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary 
beneficiary.  Information on our significant non-consolidated VIEs follows.

Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP) is a limited partnership that owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny 
Refinery.  As discussed more fully in Note 7—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables, in August 2009, a call 
right was exercised to acquire the 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP of the co-venturer, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. 

80

(PDVSA).  That exercise was challenged, and the dispute has been arbitrated.  In April 2014, the arbitral tribunal upheld 
the exercise of the call right and the acquisition of the 50 percent ownership interest.  In July 2014, PDVSA filed a 
petition to vacate the tribunal’s award and in September 2015, the petition was denied.  In January 2016, PDVSA filed an 
appeal with the appellate court seeking to reverse this ruling.  Until all legal challenges are resolved, we will continue to 
use the equity method of accounting for MSLP, and the VIE analysis below is based on the ownership and governance 
structure in place prior to the exercise of the call right.  MSLP is a VIE because, in securing lender consents in 
connection with our separation from ConocoPhillips in 2012 (the Separation), we provided a 100 percent debt guarantee 
to the lender of MSLP’s 8.85% senior notes (MSLP Senior Notes).  PDVSA did not participate in the debt guarantee.  In 
our VIE assessment, this disproportionate debt guarantee, plus other liquidity support provided jointly by us and PDVSA 
independently of equity ownership, results in MSLP not being exposed to all potential losses.  We have determined we 
are not the primary beneficiary while our call exercise award is subject to being vacated, because under the partnership 
agreement, the co-venturers jointly direct the activities of MSLP that most significantly impact economic performance.  
At December 31, 2015, our maximum exposure to loss was the outstanding principal balance of the MSLP Senior Notes 
of $157 million and our investment in MSLP of $158 million.

We have a 50 percent ownership interest with a 50 percent governance interest in Excel Paralubes (Excel).  In securing 
lender consents in connection with the Separation, ConocoPhillips provided a 50 percent debt guarantee to the lender of 
Excel’s 7.43% senior secured bonds (Excel Senior Bonds).  We provided a full indemnity to ConocoPhillips for this debt 
guarantee.  Our co-venturer did not participate in the debt guarantee.  In November 2015, Excel repaid this debt and our 
guarantee was relieved.  Also, liquidity support up to $60 million is provided jointly by us and our co-venturer 
independently of equity ownership.  In our assessment, Excel is a VIE as this liquidity support results in Excel not being 
exposed to all potential losses.  We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we and our co-venturer 
jointly direct the activities of Excel that most significantly impact economic performance.  We use the equity method of 
accounting for this investment.  At December 31, 2015, our maximum exposure to loss was half of the $60 million 
liquidity support, or $30 million, and our investment in Excel of $148 million.

Note 4—Inventories 

Inventories at December 31 consisted of the following:

Inventories valued on the LIFO basis totaled $3,085 million and $3,004 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, 
respectively.  The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories amounted to approximately 
$1,300 million and $3,000 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During each of the three years ended December 31, 2015, certain reductions in inventory caused liquidations of LIFO 
inventory values.  These liquidations decreased net income by approximately $37 million and $8 million in 2015 and 
2014, respectively, and increased net income by approximately $109 million in 2013.

Note 5—Business Combinations 

We completed the following acquisitions in 2014:

• 

• 

• 

In August 2014, we acquired a 7.1 million-barrel-storage-capacity crude oil and petroleum products terminal 
located near Beaumont, Texas, to promote growth plans in our Midstream segment.

In July 2014, we acquired Spectrum Corporation, a private label and specialty lubricants business headquartered 
in Memphis, Tennessee.  The acquisition supports our plans to selectively grow stable-return businesses in our 
M&S segment.

In March 2014, we acquired our co-venturer’s interest in an entity that operates a power and steam generation 
plant located in Texas that is included in our M&S segment.  This acquisition provided us with full operational 
control over a key facility supplying utilities and other services to one of our refineries.  

We funded each of these acquisitions with cash on hand.  Total cash consideration paid in 2014 was $741 million, net of 
cash acquired.  Cash consideration paid for acquisitions is included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line of 
our consolidated statement of cash flows.  In the aggregate, as of December 31, 2014, we provisionally recorded $471 
million of PP&E, $232 million of goodwill, $196 million of intangible assets, $70 million of net working capital and 
$109 million of long-term liabilities.  Our acquisition accounting for these transactions is final and there were no material 
adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015.

Note 6—Assets Held for Sale or Sold 

In December 2014, we completed the sale of our ownership interests in the Malaysia Refining Company Sdn. Bdh. 
(MRC), which was included in our Refining segment.  At the time of the disposition, the total carrying value of our 
investment in MRC was $334 million, including $76 million of allocated goodwill and currency translation adjustments.  
A before-tax gain of $145 million was recognized from this disposition. 

In July 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell the Bantry Bay terminal in Ireland, which was included in our Refining 
segment.  Accordingly, the net assets of the terminal were classified as held for sale, which resulted in a before-tax 
impairment of $12 million from the reduction of the carrying value of the long-lived assets to estimated fair value less 
costs to sell.  As of December 31, 2014, long-lived assets of $77 million were recorded in the “Prepaid expenses and 
other current assets” line of our consolidated balance sheet.  In addition, an immaterial amount of long-term liabilities 
was recorded in the “Other accruals” line of our consolidated balance sheet.  In February 2015, we completed the sale of 
the terminal.  At the time of the disposition, the terminal had a net carrying value of $68 million, which primarily related 
to net PP&E.  An immaterial gain was recognized on this disposition.

In February 2014, we exchanged the stock of Phillips Specialty Products Inc. (PSPI), a flow improver business, which 
was included in our M&S segment, for shares of Phillips 66 common stock owned by another party.  The PSPI share 
exchange resulted in the receipt of approximately 17.4 million shares of Phillips 66 common stock, which are held as 
treasury shares, and the recognition of a before-tax gain of $696 million.  At the time of the disposition, PSPI had a net 
carrying value of $685 million, which primarily included $481 million of cash and cash equivalents, $60 million of net 
PP&E and $117 million of allocated goodwill.  Cash and cash equivalents of $450 million included in PSPI’s net carrying 
value is reflected as a financing cash outflow in the “Share exchange—PSPI transaction” line of our consolidated 
statement of cash flows.  Revenues, income before tax and net income from discontinued operations, excluding the 
recognized before-tax gain of $696 million at closing, were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 
2013.

In July 2013, we completed the sale of the Immingham Combined Heat and Power Plant (ICHP), which was included in 
our M&S segment.  A gain on this disposal was deferred at the time of the sale due to an indemnity provided to the buyer.  
We recognized the deferred gain into earnings as our exposure under the indemnity declined, beginning in the third 
quarter of 2014 and ending in the second quarter of 2015 when the indemnity expired.  We recognized $242 million and 
$126 million of the deferred gain during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

82

In May 2013, we sold our E-Gas™ Technology business which was included in our M&S segment.  A $48 million 
before-tax gain was recognized during 2013 from this disposition.

Our share of income taxes incurred directly by the equity companies is included in equity in earnings of affiliates, and as 
such is not included in the provision for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2015, retained earnings included $1,444 million related to the undistributed earnings of affiliated 
companies.  Dividends received from affiliates were $1,769 million, $3,305 million, and $2,752 million in 2015, 2014 
and 2013, respectively.

WRB
WRB’s operating assets consist of the Wood River and Borger refineries, located in Roxana, Illinois, and Borger, Texas, 
respectively, for which we are the operator and managing partner.  As a result of our contribution of these two assets to 
WRB, a basis difference was created because the fair value of the contributed assets recorded by WRB exceeded their 
historical book value.  The difference is primarily amortized and recognized as a benefit evenly over a period of 26 years, 
which was the estimated remaining useful life of the refineries’ PP&E at the closing date.  At December 31, 2015, the 
book value of our investment in WRB was $1,967 million, and the basis difference was $3,155 million.  Equity earnings 
in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were increased by $218 million, $184 million, and $185 million, respectively, due to 
amortization of the basis difference.  Cenovus was obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus accrued interest, to WRB 
over a 10-year period that began in 2007.  In the first quarter of 2014, Cenovus prepaid its remaining balance under this 
obligation.  As a result, WRB declared a special dividend, which was distributed to the co-venturers in March 2014.  Of 
the $1,232 million that we received, $760 million was considered a return on our investment in WRB (an operating cash 
inflow), and $472 million was considered a return of our investment in WRB (an investing cash inflow).  The return of 
investment portion of the dividend was included in the “Proceeds from asset dispositions” line in our consolidated 
statement of cash flows.

DCP Midstream
DCP Midstream owns and operates gas plants, gathering systems, storage facilities and fractionation plants. DCP 
Midstream markets a portion of its NGL to us and CPChem under supply agreements, the primary production 
commitment of which began a ratable wind-down period in December 2014 and expires in January 2019.  This purchase 
commitment is on an “if-produced, will-purchase” basis.  NGL is purchased under this agreement at various published 
market index prices, less transportation and fractionation fees. 

The deferred gain of  $156 million related to the sale of our interest in the Seaway Products Pipeline Company, now 
Southern Hills, to DCP Midstream began amortizing in 2013.

In 2015, we contributed $1,500 million in cash to DCP Midstream as a capital contribution.  Our co-venturer contributed 
its interests in Sand Hills and Southern Hills as a capital contribution.  Our ownership percentage in DCP Midstream 
remained unchanged. 

At December 31, 2015, the book value of our investment in DCP Midstream was $2,293 million, and the basis difference 
was $56 million. 

84

 
 
 
CPChem
CPChem manufactures and markets petrochemicals and plastics.  At December 31, 2015, the book value of our equity 
method investment in CPChem was $5,177 million.  We have multiple supply and purchase agreements in place with 
CPChem, ranging in initial terms from one to 99 years, with extension options.  These agreements cover sales and 
purchases of refined products, solvents, and petrochemical and NGL feedstocks, as well as fuel oils and gases.  Delivery 
quantities vary by product, and are generally on an “if-produced, will-purchase” basis.  All products are purchased and 
sold under specified pricing formulas based on various published pricing indices.

REX
REX owns a natural gas pipeline that runs from Meeker, Colorado to Clarington, Ohio, which became fully operational in 
November 2009.  Long-term, binding firm commitments have been secured for virtually all of the pipeline’s capacity 
through 2019.  In April 2015, REX repaid $450 million of its debt, reducing its long-term debt to approximately $2.6 
billion.  REX funded the repayment through member cash contributions.  Our 25 percent share was approximately $112 
million, which we contributed to REX in April 2015.  At December 31, 2015, the book value of our equity method 
investment in REX was $407 million. 

Sand Hills 
The Sand Hills pipeline is a fee-based pipeline that transports NGL from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale to 
facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast and the Mont Belvieu market hub.  This investment was contributed to Phillips 66 
Partners LP in March 2015 as discussed further in Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP.  At December 31, 2015, the book 
value of our equity investment in Sand Hills was $431 million. 

Southern Hills
The Southern Hills pipeline is a fee-based pipeline that transports NGL from the Midcontinent to facilities along the 
Texas Gulf Coast and the Mont Belvieu market hub.  This investment was contributed to Phillips 66 Partners LP in 
March 2015 as discussed further in Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP.  At December 31, 2015, the book value of our 
investment in Southern Hills was $213 million, and the basis difference was $98 million. 

DAPL/ETCOP
In 2014, we formed two joint ventures to develop the DAPL and ETCOP pipelines.  The DAPL pipeline will connect the 
Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, with the ETCOP pipeline.  The ETCOP pipeline 
will provide crude oil transportation service from Patoka to storage terminals located in Nederland, Texas.  The DAPL 
and ETCOP pipelines are expected to have capacities of 470,000 and 395,000 barrels per day, respectively, and will be 
interstate Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulated pipelines.  At December 31, 2015, the book values of our 
investments in DAPL and ETCOP were $317 million and $104 million, respectively. 

Other
MSLP owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery.  MSLP processes long residue, which is 
produced from heavy sour crude oil, for a processing fee.  Fuel-grade petroleum coke is produced as a by-product and 
becomes the property of MSLP.  Prior to August 28, 2009, MSLP was owned 50/50 by ConocoPhillips and PDVSA.  
Under the agreements that govern the relationships between the partners, certain defaults by PDVSA with respect to 
supply of crude oil to the Sweeny Refinery triggered the right to acquire PDVSA’s 50 percent ownership interest in 
MSLP, which was exercised on August 28, 2009.  PDVSA initiated arbitration with the International Chamber of 
Commerce challenging the exercise of the call right and claiming it was invalid.  The arbitral tribunal held hearings on 
the merits of the dispute in December 2012, and post-hearing briefs were exchanged in March 2013.  The arbitral tribunal 
issued its ruling in April 2014, which upheld the exercise of the call right and the acquisition of the 50 percent ownership 
interest.  In July 2014, PDVSA filed a petition in U.S. district court to vacate the tribunal’s ruling, and in September 
2015, the petition was denied.  In January 2016, PDVSA filed an appeal in the appellate court to vacate this ruling.  
Following the Separation, Phillips 66 generally indemnifies ConocoPhillips for liabilities, if any, arising out of the 
exercise of the call right or otherwise with respect to the joint venture or the refinery.  Until all legal challenges are 
resolved, we will continue to use the equity method of accounting for our investment in MSLP.

Loans and Long-term Receivables
We enter into agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities.  Included in such activity are loans and 
long-term receivables to certain affiliated and non-affiliated companies.  Loans are recorded when cash is transferred or 
seller financing is provided to the affiliated or non-affiliated company pursuant to a loan agreement.  The loan balance 

85

 
will increase as interest is earned on the outstanding loan balance and will decrease as interest and principal payments are 
received.  Interest is earned at the loan agreement’s stated interest rate.  Loans and long-term receivables are assessed for 
impairment when events indicate the loan balance may not be fully recovered.

Note 8—Properties, Plants and Equipment 

Our investment in PP&E is recorded at cost.  Investments in refining manufacturing facilities are generally depreciated 
on a straight-line basis over a 25-year life, pipeline assets over a 45-year life and terminal assets over a 33-year life.  The 
company’s investment in PP&E, with the associated accumulated depreciation and amortization (Accum. D&A), at 
December 31 was:

taken out of service.  Most of these obligations are not expected to be paid until many years in the future and will be 
funded from general company resources at the time of removal.  Our largest individual obligations involve asbestos 
abatement at refineries.

During 2015 and 2014, our overall asset retirement obligation changed as follows:

Accrued Environmental Costs
Total accrued environmental costs at December 31, 2015 and 2014, were $485 million and $496 million, respectively.  
The 2015 decrease in total accrued environmental costs is due to payments and settlements exceeding new accruals, 
accrual adjustments and accretion during the year.

We had accrued environmental costs at December 31, 2015 and 2014, of $270 million and $268 million, respectively, 
primarily related to cleanup at domestic refineries and underground storage tanks at U.S. service stations; $168 million 
and $178 million, respectively, associated with nonoperator sites; and $47 million and $50 million, respectively, where 
the company has been named a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act, or similar state laws.  Accrued environmental liabilities are expected to be paid over 
periods extending up to 30 years.  Because a large portion of the accrued environmental costs were acquired in various 
business combinations, the obligations are recorded at a discount.  Expected expenditures for acquired environmental 
obligations are discounted using a weighted-average 5 percent discount factor, resulting in an accrued balance for 
acquired environmental liabilities of $246 million at December 31, 2015.  The expected future undiscounted payments 
related to the portion of the accrued environmental costs that have been discounted are: $25 million in 2016, $24 million 
in 2017, $21 million in 2018, $20 million in 2019, $24 million in 2020, and $200 million for all future years after 2020.

Note 12—Earnings Per Share 

The numerator of basic earnings per share (EPS) is net income attributable to Phillips 66, reduced by noncancelable 
dividends paid on unvested share-based employee awards during the vesting period (participating securities).  The 
denominator of basic EPS is the sum of the daily weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the 
periods presented and fully vested stock and unit awards that have not yet been issued as common stock.  The numerator 
of diluted EPS is also based on net income attributable to Phillips 66, which is reduced only by dividend equivalents paid 
on participating securities for which the dividends are more dilutive than the participation of the awards in the earnings of 
the periods presented.  To the extent unvested stock, unit or option awards and vested unexercised stock options are 
dilutive, they are included with the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the denominator.  Treasury stock is 
excluded from the denominator in both basic and diluted EPS.

Maturities of long-term borrowings, inclusive of net unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs, for each of the years 
from 2016 through 2020 are $44 million, $1,545 million, $51 million, $37 million and $337 million, respectively.

Debt Issuance
In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners closed on a public offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 
senior notes, consisting of:

• 

• 

• 

$300 million of 2.646% Senior Notes due 2020.

$500 million of 3.605% Senior Notes due 2025.

$300 million of 4.680% Senior Notes due 2045.

Phillips 66 Partners utilized a portion of the net proceeds to fund part of the purchase price for its acquisition of our 
equity interests in Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer).  The remaining proceeds were 
used to repay existing borrowings from a subsidiary of Phillips 66, fund capital expenditures and for general partnership 
purposes.  See Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP, for additional information.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
Phillips 66 has a $5 billion revolving credit facility that extends until December 2019.  This facility may be used for 
direct bank borrowings, as support for issuances of letters of credit, or as support for our commercial paper program.  The 
facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions and contains covenants that we consider usual and customary 
for an agreement of this type for comparable commercial borrowers, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-

90

capitalization ratio of 60 percent.  The agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when 
due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; cross-payment default and cross-acceleration 
(in each case, to indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount); and a change of control.  Borrowings under the facility 
will incur interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin based on the credit rating of our senior 
unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors 
Service.  The facility also provides for customary fees, including administrative agent fees and commitment fees.  As of 
December 31, 2015, no amount had been directly drawn under this revolving credit agreement, while $51 million in 
letters of credit had been issued that were supported by it.  As a result, we ended 2015 with $4.9 billion of capacity under 
this facility.

We have a $5 billion commercial paper program for short-term working capital needs.  Commercial paper maturities are 
generally limited to 90 days.  As of December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Phillips 66 Partners has a $500 million revolving credit facility that extends until November 2019.  The Phillips 66 
Partners facility is with a broad syndicate of financial institutions.  As of December 31, 2015, no amounts were 
outstanding under this facility.

Note 14—Guarantees 

At December 31, 2015, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as 
described below.  We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued 
or modified guarantees.  Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability 
either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is 
immaterial.  In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the 
guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.

Guarantees of Joint Venture Debt
In 2012, in connection with the Separation, we issued a guarantee for 100 percent of the MSLP Senior Notes issued in 
July 1999.  At December 31, 2015, the maximum potential amount of future payments to third parties under the 
guarantee was estimated to be $157 million, which could become payable if MSLP fails to meet its obligations under the 
senior notes agreement.  The MSLP Senior Notes mature in 2019.

Other Guarantees
We have residual value guarantees associated with leases with maximum future potential payments totaling $389 million.  
We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling $117 million, which consist 
primarily of guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficits of certain joint ventures and guarantees of the lease 
payment obligations of a joint venture.  These guarantees generally extend up to 9 years or life of the venture.

Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into various agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures 
and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications.  Agreements associated with these sales include indemnifications 
for taxes, litigation, environmental liabilities, permits and licenses, and employee claims; and real estate indemnity 
against tenant defaults.  The provisions of these indemnifications vary greatly.  The majority of these indemnifications are 
related to environmental issues with generally indefinite terms, and the maximum amount of future payments is generally 
unlimited.  The carrying amount recorded for indemnifications at December 31, 2015, was $198 million.  We amortize 
the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding 
each type of indemnity.  In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have 
information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of 
our indemnification exposure declines.  Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts 
recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum 
potential amount of future payments.  Included in the recorded carrying amount were $98 million of environmental 
accruals for known contamination that were primarily included in “Asset retirement obligations and accrued 
environmental costs” at December 31, 2015.  For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 15—
Contingencies and Commitments.

91

Indemnification and Release Agreement
In 2012, we entered into the Indemnification and Release Agreement with ConocoPhillips.  This agreement governs the 
treatment between ConocoPhillips and us of matters relating to indemnification, insurance, litigation responsibility and 
management, and litigation document sharing and cooperation arising in connection with the Separation.  Generally, the 
agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and 
liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of ConocoPhillips’ 
business with ConocoPhillips.  The agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification 
and related matters.

Note 15—Contingencies and Commitments 

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arose in the ordinary course of business have been filed against us 
or are subject to indemnifications provided by us.  We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the 
environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at 
various active and inactive sites.  We regularly assess the need for financial recognition or disclosure of these 
contingencies.  In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability 
when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.  If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and 
no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued.  We do 
not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries.  If applicable, we accrue receivables for 
probable insurance or other third-party recoveries.  In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative 
probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.  See Note 21—Income 
Taxes, for additional information about income-tax-related contingencies.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability 
exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated 
financial statements.  As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to 
accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.  Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent 
liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters.  Estimated future environmental remediation 
costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent 
of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other 
potentially responsible parties.  Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events 
evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Environmental
We are subject to international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.  When we prepare our 
consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, 
using all information available at the time.  We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, 
existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business 
considerations.  When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of 
contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) or other organizations.  We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we 
accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for 
federal sites and frequently so for state sites, we are usually only one of many companies alleged to have liability at a 
particular site.  Due to such joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all cleanup costs related to any site at 
which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party.  We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup 
costs with other financially sound companies.  Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under 
investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned.  Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally 
assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation.  In some instances, we may 
have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability.  Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be 
financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability, and we 
adjust our accruals accordingly.  As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental 
obligations.  Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit 
and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar and time limits.

92

We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable 
state sites.  After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an 
undiscounted basis (except those pertaining to sites acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a 
discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable future costs will be 
incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated.  We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance 
recoveries.  In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.  See 
Note 11—Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs, for a summary of our accrued environmental 
liabilities.

Legal Proceedings
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our 
cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us.  Our process 
facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables the tracking of 
those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation.  Based on professional judgment and experience in using 
these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal 
organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or 
establishment of new accruals, is required.

Other Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not 
associated with financing arrangements.  Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with 
additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. 

At December 31, 2015, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit and bank guarantees of $308 
million (of which $51 million was issued under the provisions of our revolving credit facility, and the remainder was 
issued as direct bank letters of credit and bank guarantees) related to various purchase and other commitments incident to 
the ordinary conduct of business.

Long-Term Throughput Agreements and Take-or-Pay Agreements
We have certain throughput agreements and take-or-pay agreements in support of third-party financing arrangements.  
The agreements typically provide for crude oil transportation to be used in the ordinary course of our business.  The 
aggregate amounts of estimated payments under these various agreements are $312 million annually for each of the years 
from 2016 through 2020 and $3,147 million in the aggregate for years 2021 and thereafter.  Total payments under the 
agreements were $328 million in 2015, $331 million in 2014 and $345 million in 2013.

Note 16—Derivatives and Financial Instruments 

Derivative Instruments
We use financial and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates and commodity prices or to capture market opportunities.  Because we have not used cash-flow hedge 
accounting, all gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from commodity derivative contracts have been recognized in the 
consolidated statement of income.  Gains and losses from derivative contracts held for trading not directly related to our 
physical business, whether realized or unrealized, have been reported net in “Other income” on our consolidated 
statement of income.  Cash flows from all our derivative activity for the periods presented appear in the operating section 
of the consolidated statement of cash flows.  

Purchase and sales contracts with fixed minimum notional volumes for commodities that are readily convertible to cash 
(e.g., crude oil and gasoline) are recorded on the balance sheet as derivatives unless the contracts are eligible for, and we 
elect, the normal purchases and normal sales exception (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell quantities we expect to use or 
sell over a reasonable period in the normal course of business).  We generally apply this normal purchases and normal 
sales exception to eligible crude oil, refined product, NGL, natural gas and power commodity purchase and sales 
contracts; however, we may elect not to apply this exception (e.g., when another derivative instrument will be used to 
mitigate the risk of the purchase or sales contract but hedge accounting will not be applied, in which case both the 
purchase or sales contract and the derivative contract mitigating the resulting risk will be recorded on the balance sheet at 

93

fair value).  Our derivative instruments are held at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet.  For further information 
on the fair value of derivatives, see Note 17—Fair Value Measurements.

Commodity Derivative Contracts—We sell into or receive supply from the worldwide crude oil, refined products, 
natural gas, NGL, and electric power markets, exposing our revenues, purchases, cost of operating activities, and cash 
flows to fluctuations in the prices for these commodities.  Generally, our policy is to remain exposed to the market prices 
of commodities; however, we use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to balance physical systems, 
meet customer needs, manage price exposures on specific transactions, and do a limited, immaterial amount of trading 
not directly related to our physical business, all of which may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in market prices.  We 
also use the market knowledge gained from these activities to capture market opportunities such as moving physical 
commodities to more profitable locations, storing commodities to capture seasonal or time premiums, and blending 
commodities to capture quality upgrades.

The following table indicates the balance sheet line items that include the fair values of commodity derivative assets and 
liabilities presented net (i.e., commodity derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted where the 
right of setoff exists); however, the balances in the following table are presented gross.  For information on the impact of 
counterparty netting and collateral netting, see Note 17—Fair Value Measurements.

The following table summarizes our material net exposures resulting from outstanding commodity derivative contracts.  
These financial and physical derivative contracts are primarily used to manage price exposure on our underlying 
operations.  The underlying exposures may be from non-derivative positions such as inventory volumes.  Financial 
derivative contracts may also offset physical derivative contracts, such as forward sales contracts.  The percentage of our 
derivative contract volumes expiring within the next 12 months was approximately 99 percent at both December 31, 
2015 and 2014.

Credit Risk
Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of over-the-counter (OTC) 
derivative contracts and trade receivables.  

The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, derives from the counterparty to the 
transaction.  Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of 
cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance.  We also use futures, swaps 
and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared with an exchange clearinghouse 
and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange 
brokers for receivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin 
requirements.

Our trade receivables result primarily from the sale of products from, or related to, our refinery operations and reflect a 
broad national and international customer base, which limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk.  The majority 
of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less.  We continually monitor this exposure and the 
creditworthiness of the counterparties and recognize bad debt expense based on historical write-off experience or specific 
counterparty collectability.  Generally, we do not require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will 
sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments, and master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties 
that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us or owed to others to be offset 
against amounts due to us.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure 
exceeds a threshold amount.  We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and other contracts with variable threshold 
amounts that are contingent on our credit rating.  The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit 
ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if our credit ratings fall below 
investment grade.  Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many contracts also permit us to post letters of 
credit as collateral.

The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a 
liability position were not material at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

Note 17—Fair Value Measurements 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

•  Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair 

value.

•  Accounts and notes receivable: The carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates 

fair value.

•  Debt: The carrying amount of our floating-rate debt approximates fair value.  The fair value of our fixed-rate 

debt is estimated based on quoted market prices.

•  Commodity swaps: Fair value is estimated based on forward market prices and approximates the exit price at 
period end.  When forward market prices are not available, we estimate fair value using the forward price of a 
similar commodity, adjusted for the difference in quality or location.

• 

• 

Futures: Fair values are based on quoted market prices obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange, the 
Intercontinental Exchange, or other traded exchanges.

Forward-exchange contracts: Fair value is estimated by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate in effect 
at the end of the reporting period, which approximates the exit price at that date.

We carry certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which we measure at the reporting date using an exit price (i.e., the 
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability), and disclose the quality of these fair values 
based on the valuation inputs used in these measurements under the following hierarchy:

•  Level 1: Fair value measured with unadjusted quoted prices from an active market for identical assets or 

liabilities.

•  Level 2: Fair value measured either with: (1) adjusted quoted prices from an active market for similar assets or 

liabilities; or (2) other valuation inputs that are directly or indirectly observable.

•  Level 3: Fair value measured with unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement.

We classify the fair value of an asset or liability based on the lowest level of input significant to its measurement; 
however, the fair value of an asset or liability initially reported as Level 3 will be subsequently reported as Level 2 if the 
unobservable inputs become inconsequential to its measurement or corroborating market data becomes available.  
Conversely, an asset or liability initially reported as Level 2 will be subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborating 
market data becomes unavailable.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, derivative assets with an aggregate value of 
$502 million and derivative liabilities with an aggregate value of $512 million were transferred into Level 1, as measured 
from the beginning of the reporting period.  The measurements were reclassified within the fair value hierarchy due to the 
availability of unadjusted quoted prices from an active market.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of investments to support 
nonqualified deferred compensation plans and derivative instruments.  The deferred compensation investments are 
measured at fair value using unadjusted prices available from national securities exchanges; therefore, these assets are 
categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.  We value our exchange-traded commodity derivatives using closing 
prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date, and these are also classified as Level 1 in the fair value 
hierarchy.  When exchange-cleared contracts lack sufficient liquidity or are valued using either adjusted exchange-
provided prices or non-exchange quotes, we classify those contracts as Level 2.  OTC financial swaps and physical 
commodity forward purchase and sales contracts are generally valued using quotes provided by brokers and price index 
developers such as Platts and Oil Price Information Service.  We corroborate these quotes with market data and classify 
the resulting fair values as Level 2.  In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as 
readily available.  In these circumstances, OTC swaps and physical commodity purchase and sales contracts are valued 
using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various commodities that result in 
management’s best estimate of fair value.  We classify these contracts as Level 3.  Financial OTC and physical 
commodity options are valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted 

96

forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as 
well as other relevant economic measures.  The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets 
determines whether the options are classified as Level 2 or 3.  We use a mid-market pricing convention (the mid-point 
between bid and ask prices).  When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based 
on available market evidence.  

The following tables display the fair value hierarchy for our material financial assets and liabilities either accounted for 
or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.  These values are determined by treating each contract as the fundamental 
unit of account; therefore, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are shown gross (i.e., without the 
effect of netting where the legal right of setoff exists) in the hierarchy sections of these tables.  These tables also show 
that our Level 3 activity was not material.

We have master netting agreements for all of our exchange-cleared derivative instruments, the majority of our OTC 
derivative instruments, and certain physical commodity forward contracts (primarily pipeline crude oil deliveries).  The 
following tables show the fair value of these contracts on a net basis in the column “Effect of Counterparty Netting,” 
which is how these also appear on the consolidated balance sheet.

The carrying values and fair values by hierarchy of our material financial instruments and commodity forward contracts, 
either carried or disclosed at fair value, including any effects of netting derivative assets with liabilities and netting 
collateral due to right of setoff or master netting agreements, were:

During 2014, net PP&E held for use related to our Whitegate Refinery in Ireland included in our Refining segment, with 
a carrying amount of $151 million, was written down to its fair value of $20 million, resulting in a before-tax loss of 
$131 million.  The fair value was determined based on the highest and best use of these assets to a principal market 
participant using market transactions of similar assets with adjustments to reflect the condition of the assets.  In addition,

net assets held for sale related to the Bantry Bay terminal in our Refining segment, with a carrying amount of $84 
million, primarily consisting of net PP&E, were written down to fair value less costs to sell, resulting in a before-tax loss 
of $12 million.  This impairment was attributed to the long-lived assets in the disposal group.  The fair value was 
determined by a negotiated selling price with a third party.  See Note 6—Assets Held for Sale or Sold, for additional 
information.

Note 18—Equity 

Preferred Stock
We have 500 million shares of preferred stock authorized, with a par value of $0.01 per share.  No shares of preferred 
stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.

Treasury Stock
On October 9, 2015, our Board of Directors increased our current share repurchase authorization by $2 billion resulting 
in a total authorization of $4 billion.  Since July 2012, our Board of Directors has authorized repurchases of our 
outstanding common stock totaling up to $9 billion.  The share repurchases are expected to be funded primarily through 
available cash.  The shares will be repurchased from time to time in the open market at the company’s discretion, subject 
to market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.  We are not obligated 
to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may commence, suspend or discontinue purchases at any time or 
from time to time without prior notice.  Since the inception of our share repurchases in 2012, through December 31, 
2015, we have repurchased a total of 92,503,292 shares at a cost of $6.4 billion.  Shares of stock repurchased are held as 
treasury shares.

Common Stock Dividends
On February 3, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per common share, payable 
March 1, 2016, to holders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2016.

Note 19—Leases 

We lease ocean transport vessels, tugboats, barges, pipelines, railcars, service station sites, computers, office buildings, 
corporate aircraft, land and other facilities and equipment.  Certain leases include escalation clauses for adjusting rental 
payments to reflect changes in price indices, as well as renewal options and/or options to purchase the leased property.  
There are no significant restrictions imposed on us by the leasing agreements with regard to dividends, asset dispositions 
or borrowing ability.  Our capital lease obligations relate primarily to the lease of an oil terminal in the United Kingdom.  
The lease obligation is subject to foreign currency translation adjustments each reporting period.  The total net PP&E 
recorded for capital leases was $231 million and $203 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.    

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2015, for operating and capital lease obligations were:

In determining net periodic benefit cost, we amortize prior service costs on a straight-line basis over the average 
remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.  For net actuarial gains and losses, we 
amortize 10 percent of the unamortized balance each year.  The amount subject to amortization is determined on a plan-
by-plan basis.  Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2015, that are expected 
to be amortized into net periodic benefit cost during 2016 are provided below:

For both U.S. and international pension plans, the overall expected long-term rate of return is developed from the expected 
future return of each asset class, weighted by the expected allocation of pension assets to that asset class.  We rely on a 
variety of independent market forecasts in developing the expected rate of return for each class of assets.

Our other postretirement benefit plans for health insurance are contributory.  Effective December 31, 2012, we terminated 
the subsidy for retiree medical.  Since January 1, 2013, eligible employees have been able to utilize notional amounts 
credited to an account during their period of service with the company to pay all, or a portion, of their cost to participate 
in postretirement health insurance through the company.  In general, employees hired after December 31, 2012, will not 
receive credits to an account, but will have unsubsidized access to health insurance through the plan.  The cost of health 
insurance will be adjusted annually by the company’s actuary to reflect actual experience and expected health care cost 
trends.  The measurement of the accumulated benefit obligation assumes a health care cost trend rate of 6.75 percent in 
2016 that declines to 5.00 percent by 2023.  A 1 percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would 
be immaterial to Phillips 66.

Plan Assets
The investment strategy for managing pension plan assets is to seek a reasonable rate of return relative to an appropriate 
level of risk and provide adequate liquidity for benefit payments and portfolio management.  We follow a policy of 
broadly diversifying pension plan assets across asset classes, investment managers, and individual holdings.  As a result, 
our plan assets have no significant concentrations of credit risk.  Asset classes that are considered appropriate include 
equities, fixed income, cash, real estate and insurance contracts.  Plan fiduciaries may consider and add other asset 
classes to the investment program from time to time.  The target allocations for plan assets are approximately 62 percent 
equity securities, 37 percent debt securities and 1 percent in all other types of investments.  Generally, the investments in 
the plans are publicly traded, therefore minimizing the liquidity risk in the portfolio.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the pension plan assets. 

• 

• 

Fair values of equity securities and government debt securities categorized in Level 1 are based on quoted 
market prices.
Fair values of corporate debt securities categorized in Level 2 are estimated using recently executed transactions 
and market price quotations.  If there have been no market transactions in a particular fixed income security, its 
fair market value is calculated by pricing models that benchmark the security against other securities with actual 
market prices.

104

 
 
 
• 

Fair values of mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of 
shares held.

•  Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.  
• 

Fair values of insurance contracts are valued at the present value of the future benefit payments owed by the 
insurance company to the plans’ participants.
Fair values of real estate investments are valued using real estate valuation techniques and other methods that 
include reference to third-party sources and sales comparables where available.
Fair values of investments in common/collective trusts are valued at net asset value (NAV) as determined by the 
issuer of each fund.  Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV value per share (or its 
equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

As reflected in the table above, Level 3 activity was not material.

Our funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute at least the minimum required by the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Contributions to international plans are 
subject to local laws and tax regulations.  Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon plan asset returns, changes in 
pension obligations, regulatory environments, and other economic factors.  In 2016, we expect to contribute 
approximately $50 million to our U.S. pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans and $50 million to our 
international pension plans.

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid by us in 
the years indicated:

Defined Contribution Plans
Most U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the Phillips 66 Savings Plan (Savings Plan).  Employees can contribute 
up to 75 percent of their eligible pay, subject to certain statutory limits, in the thrift feature of the Savings Plan to a choice 
of investment funds.  Phillips 66 provides a company match of participant thrift contributions up to 5 percent of eligible 
pay.  In addition, participants who contribute at least 1 percent to the Savings Plan are eligible for “Success Share,” a 
semi-annual discretionary company contribution to the Savings Plan that can range from 0 to 6 percent of eligible pay, 
with a target of 2 percent.  The total expense related to participants in the Savings Plan was $134 million, $112 million 
and $111 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Plans
In accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement related to the Separation, compensation awards based on 
ConocoPhillips stock and granted before April 30, 2012 (the Separation Date) were converted to compensation awards 
based on both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 stock if, on the Separation Date, the awards were: (1) options outstanding 
and exercisable; or (2) restricted stock or restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded for completed performance periods under 
the ConocoPhillips Performance Share Program.  Phillips 66 restricted stock, RSUs, and options issued in this conversion 
became subject to the “Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66” (the 2012 Plan) on the Separation 
Date, whether held by grantees working for the company or grantees that remained employees of ConocoPhillips.  Some 
of these awards based on Phillips 66 stock and held by employees of ConocoPhillips are still outstanding and appear in 
the activity tables for the Stock Option and the Performance Share Programs presented later in this footnote.

In May 2013, shareholders approved the 2013 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66 (the P66 
Omnibus Plan).  Subsequent to this approval, all new share-based awards are granted under the P66 Omnibus Plan, which 
authorizes the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the Committee) to grant stock 
options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and RSU awards), cash awards, and 
performance awards to our employees, non-employee directors, and other plan participants.  The number of shares that 
may be issued under the P66 Omnibus Plan to settle share-based awards may not exceed 45 million.

Our share-based compensation programs generally provide accelerated vesting (i.e., a waiver of the remaining period of 
service required to earn an award) for awards held by employees at the time they become eligible for retirement.  We 
recognize share-based compensation expense over the shorter of: (1) the service period (i.e., the stated period of time 
required to earn the award); or (2) the period beginning at the start of the service period and ending when an employee 
first becomes eligible for retirement, but not less than six months as this is the minimum period of time required for an 
award not to be subject to forfeiture.  

Some of our share-based awards vest ratably (i.e., portions of the award vest at different times) while some of our awards 
cliff vest (i.e., all of the award vests at the same time).  The company made a policy election to recognize expense on a 
straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award, whether the award was granted with ratable or cliff 
vesting.

Total share-based compensation expense recognized in income and the associated tax benefits for the years ended 
December 31 were as follows:

Stock Options
Stock options granted under the provisions of the P66 Omnibus Plan and earlier plans permit purchase of our common 
stock at exercise prices equivalent to the average market price of the stock on the date the options were granted.  The 
options have terms of 10 years and generally vest ratably, with one-third of the options awarded vesting and becoming 
exercisable on each anniversary date for the three years following the date of grant.  Options awarded to employees 

107

 
 
 
already eligible for retirement vest within six months of the grant date, but those options do not become exercisable until 
the end of the normal vesting period.

The weighted-average remaining contractual terms of vested options and exercisable options at December 31, 2015, were 
5.60 years and 4.96 years, respectively.  During 2015, we received $31 million in cash and realized a tax benefit of $8 
million from the exercise of options.  At December 31, 2015, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense from 
unvested options held by employees of Phillips 66 was $3 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average 
period of 21 months, the longest period being 25 months.  The calculations of realized tax benefit, unamortized expense 
and weighted-average periods include awards based on both Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips stock held by Phillips 66 
employees.

During 2014, we granted options with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $18.95 and employees exercised 
options with an aggregate intrinsic value of $89 million. 

The following table provides the significant assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair market values of options 
granted over the years shown below, as calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model:

Prior to the Separation, we calculated volatility using the most recent ConocoPhillips end-of-week closing stock prices 
spanning a period equal to the expected life of the options granted.  We calculate the volatility of options granted after the 
Separation using a formula that adjusts the pre-Separation historical volatility of ConocoPhillips by the ratio of Phillips 
66 implied market volatility on the grant date divided by the pre-Separation implied market volatility of ConocoPhillips. 

We periodically calculate the average period of time elapsed between grant dates and exercise dates of past grants to 
estimate the expected life of new option grants.

Restricted Stock Unit Program
Generally, RSUs are granted annually under the provisions of the P66 Omnibus Plan and cliff vest at the end of three 
years.  Most RSU awards granted prior to the Separation vested ratably over five years, with one-third of the units 
vesting in 36 months, one-third vesting in 48 months, and the final third vesting 60 months from the date of grant.  In 
addition to the regularly scheduled annual awards, RSUs are also granted ad hoc to attract or retain key personnel, and 
the terms and conditions under which these RSUs vest vary by award.  Upon vesting, RSUs are settled by issuing one 
share of Phillips 66 common stock per RSU.  RSUs awarded to employees already eligible for retirement vest within six 
months of the grant date, but those units are not issued as shares until the end of the normal vesting period.  Until issued 
as stock, most recipients of RSUs receive a quarterly cash payment of a dividend equivalent, and for this reason the grant 
date fair value of these units is deemed equal to the average Phillips 66 stock price on the date of grant.  The grant date 
fair market value of RSUs that do not receive a dividend equivalent while unvested is deemed equal to the average 
Phillips 66 common stock price on the grant date, less the net present value of the dividend equivalents that will not be 
received.

At December 31, 2015, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost from the unvested RSU awards held by 
employees of Phillips 66 was $46 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 20 months, the 
longest period being 35 months.  The calculations of unamortized expense and weighted-average periods include awards 
based on both Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips stock held by Phillips 66 employees.

During 2014, we granted RSUs with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $73.28 and issued shares with an 
aggregate fair value of $116 million to settle RSUs. 

Performance Share Program
Under the P66 Omnibus Plan, we also annually grant to senior management restricted performance share units (PSUs) 
that vest: (1) with respect to awards for performance periods beginning before 2009, when the employee becomes 
eligible for retirement by reaching age 55 with five years of service; or (2) with respect to awards for performance 
periods beginning in 2009, five years after the grant date of the award (although recipients can elect to defer the lapsing 
of restrictions until retirement after reaching age 55 with five years of service); or (3) with respect to awards for 
performance periods beginning in 2013 or later, on the grant date.  

For PSU awards with performance periods beginning before 2013, we recognize compensation expense beginning on the 
date of grant and ending on the date the PSUs are scheduled to vest; however, since these awards are authorized three 
years prior to the grant date, we recognize compensation expense for employees that will become eligible for retirement 
by or shortly after the grant date over the period beginning on the date of authorization and ending on the date of grant.  
Since PSU awards with performance periods beginning in 2013 or later vest on the grant date, we recognize 
compensation expense beginning on the date of authorization and ending on the grant date for all employees participating 
in the PSU grant.

109

We settle PSUs with performance periods that begin before 2013 by issuing one share of Phillips 66 common stock for 
each PSU.  Recipients of these PSUs receive a quarterly cash payment of a dividend equivalent beginning on the grant 
date and ending on the settlement date.

We settle PSUs with performance periods beginning in 2013 or later by paying cash equal to the fair value of the PSU on 
the grant date, which is also the date the PSU vests.  Since these PSUs vest and settle on the grant date, dividend 
equivalents are never paid on these awards.

With the exception of certain foreign tax credit and separate company loss carryforwards, tax attributes were not 
allocated to us from ConocoPhillips.  The foreign tax credit carryforwards were fully utilized by the end of 2014.  The 
loss carryforwards, all of which are related to foreign operations, have indefinite carryforward periods.

Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will, more likely than not, be 
realized.  During 2015, valuation allowances increased by a total of $53 million.  This increase was primarily related to 
valuation allowances re-established for deferred tax assets that were reinstated in conjunction with German tax legislation 
enacted in 2015.  The German tax legislation reinstated net operating loss and interest deduction carryforwards 

111

 
 
 
 
 
 
attributable to pre-Separation tax periods.  The deferred tax asset associated with the interest deduction carryforward will 
not, more likely than not, be realized.  Based on our historical taxable income, expectations for the future, and available 
tax-planning strategies, management expects the remaining net deferred tax assets will be realized as offsets to reversing 
deferred tax liabilities and the tax consequences of future taxable income.

As of December 31, 2015, we had undistributed earnings related to foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint 
ventures of approximately $2.8 billion for which deferred income taxes have not been provided.  We plan to reinvest 
these earnings for the foreseeable future.  If these amounts were distributed to the United States, we would be subject to 
additional U.S. income taxes.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not 
practicable due to the number of unknown variables inherent in the calculation.

As a result of the Separation and pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with ConocoPhillips, the unrecognized tax 
benefits related to our operations for which ConocoPhillips was the taxpayer remain the responsibility of ConocoPhillips, 
and we have indemnified ConocoPhillips for such amounts.  Those unrecognized tax benefits are reflected in the 
following table which shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $34 million, $98 million and $161 
million, respectively, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate.  With respect to various unrecognized tax 
benefits and the related accrued liability, approximately $20 million may be recognized or paid within the next twelve 
months due to completion of audits.

At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, accrued liabilities for interest and penalties totaled $19 million, $16 million and 
$18 million, respectively, net of accrued income taxes.  Interest and penalties increased earnings by $3 million in 2015, 
had no impact on earnings during 2014 and decreased earnings by $3 million in 2013.

We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many foreign and state jurisdictions.  Audits in significant 
jurisdictions are generally complete as follows: United Kingdom (2011), Germany (2011) and United States (2008).  
Certain issues remain in dispute for audited years, and unrecognized tax benefits for years still subject to or currently 
undergoing an audit are subject to change.  As a consequence, the balance in unrecognized tax benefits can be expected to 
fluctuate from period to period.  Although it is reasonably possible such changes could be significant when compared 
with our total unrecognized tax benefits, the amount of change is not estimable.

In December 2014, we completed the sale of our interest in MRC.  Accordingly, sales of crude oil to MRC and purchases 
of refined products from MRC are only included in the 2014 and 2013 periods in the table above.

(a)  NGL and other petrochemical feedstocks, along with solvents, were sold to CPChem; and gas oil and hydrogen 

feedstocks were sold to Excel.  Certain feedstocks and intermediate products were sold to WRB.  We also acted as 
agent for WRB in supplying crude oil and other feedstocks for a fee.  In addition, we charged several of our affiliates, 
including CPChem and MSLP, for the use of common facilities, such as steam generators, waste and water treaters, 
and warehouse facilities.

(b)  We purchased crude oil and refined products from WRB.  We also acted as agent for WRB in distributing asphalt and 
solvents for a fee.  We purchased natural gas and NGL from DCP Midstream and CPChem for use in our refinery 
processes and other feedstocks from various affiliates.  We paid NGL fractionation fees to CPChem.  We also paid 
fees to various pipeline equity companies for transporting finished refined products.  In addition, we paid a price 
upgrade to MSLP for heavy crude processing.  We purchased base oils and fuel products from Excel for use in our 
refining and specialty businesses.

(c)  We paid utility and processing fees to various affiliates. 

(d)  We incurred interest expense on a note payable to MSLP.  See Note 7—Investments, Loans and Long-Term 

Receivables and Note 13—Debt, for additional information on loans with affiliated companies.

Note 27—Phillips 66 Partners LP 

Initial Public Offering
In 2013, we formed Phillips 66 Partners, a master limited partnership, to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-
based crude oil, refined petroleum product and NGL pipelines and terminals, as well as other transportation and 
midstream assets.  On July 26, 2013, Phillips 66 Partners completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 18,888,750 
common units at a price of $23.00 per unit.  Phillips 66 Partners received $404 million in net proceeds from the sale of 
the units, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, structuring fees and offering expenses.  Headquartered in 
Houston, Texas, Phillips 66 Partners’ assets currently consist of crude oil and refined petroleum product pipeline, 
terminal, and storage systems in the Central and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, as well as two crude oil rail-
unloading facilities, all of which are integral to a connected Phillips 66-operated facility.  

Current Year Activities
In February 2015, Phillips 66 Partners completed a public offering of 5,250,000 common units representing limited 
partner interests, at a public offering price of $75.50 per unit.  The net proceeds received at closing were $384 million.  
Additionally, Phillips 66 Partners closed a public offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes.  For 
additional information about the senior notes, see Note 13— Debt. 

Effective March 2, 2015, we contributed our equity interests in Explorer (19.5 percent), Sand Hills (33.3 percent) and 
Southern Hills (33.3 percent) to Phillips 66 Partners.  Total consideration paid was $1,010 million, which Phillips 66 
Partners financed with $880 million in cash, funded by a portion of their proceeds from the public offering of common 
units and senior notes discussed above, and the issuance to us of 1,587,376 common units and 139,538 general partner 
units.

Effective December 1, 2015, we contributed to Phillips 66 Partners our 40 percent interest in Bayou Bridge Pipeline, 
LLC (Bayou Bridge), a joint venture in which Energy Transfer Partners L.P. and Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. each hold 
a 30 percent interest, with Sunoco Logistics serving as the operator.  Phillips 66 Partners financed the acquisition with a 
$35 million note payable to us that was immediately paid in full, and the issuance to us of 606,056 common units and 
12,369 general partner units valued at $35 million, for an aggregate consideration of $70 million. 

Ownership
At December 31, 2015, we owned a 69 percent limited partner interest and a 2 percent general partner interest in Phillips 
66 Partners, while the public owned a 29 percent limited partner interest.  We consolidate Phillips 66 Partners as a 
variable interest entity for financial reporting purposes.  The most significant assets of Phillips 66 Partners that are 
available to settle only its obligations were equity investments of $945 million and net PP&E of $492 million at 
December 31, 2015.  See Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) for additional information on why we consolidate the 
partnership.  As a result of this consolidation, the public unitholders’ ownership interest in Phillips 66 Partners is reflected 
as a noncontrolling interest of $809 million and $415 million in our financial statements as of December 31, 2015, and 
2014, respectively.  Generally, contributions of assets by us to Phillips 66 Partners will eliminate in consolidation, except 

121

 
 
 
 
for third-party debt or equity offerings made by Phillips 66 Partners to finance such transactions.  For the first 
contribution in 2015 together with the public offerings of common units and senior notes discussed above, our 
consolidated cash increased by $1.5 billion, consolidated debt increased by $1.1 billion and consolidated equity increased 
by $384 million as a result of the transactions.  The Bayou Bridge contribution in 2015 discussed above did not impact 
our consolidated financial statements. 

Recent Transactions
On February 17, 2016, we entered into a contribution agreement with Phillips 66 Partners under which Phillips 66 
Partners will acquire a 25 percent interest in our wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips 66 Sweeny Frac LLC, which owns the 
Sweeny Fractionator One, an NGL fractionator located within our Sweeny Refinery complex in Old Ocean, Texas, and 
the Clemens Caverns, an NGL salt dome storage facility located near Brazoria, Texas.  Total consideration for the 
transaction is expected to be $236 million, which will consist of Phillips 66 Partners’ issuance of common and general 
partner units to us, with an aggregate fair value of $24 million, and Phillips 66 Partners’ assumption of $212 million of 
notes payable to us.  The transaction is expected to close in early March 2016.

Note 28—New Accounting Standards 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10),” to meet its 
objective of providing more decision-useful information about financial instruments.  The majority of this ASU’s 
provisions amend only the presentation or disclosures of financial instruments; however, one provision will also affect 
net income.  Equity investments carried under the cost method or lower of cost or fair value method of accounting, in 
accordance with current generally accepted accounting principles, will have to be carried at fair value upon adoption of 
ASU 2016-01, with changes in fair value recorded in net income.  For equity investments that do not have readily 
determinable fair values, a company may elect to carry such investments at cost less impairments, if any, adjusted up or 
down for price changes in similar financial instruments issued by the investee, when and if observed.  Public business 
entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2016-01 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim 
periods within those annual periods, with early adoption prohibited.  We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 
2016-01 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes-Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.”  
The new update will simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and will require deferred tax liabilities and assets 
be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position.  The classification shall be made at the tax-
paying component level of an entity, after reflecting any offset of deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and any 
related valuation allowances.  Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2015-17 for annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early application for public entities 
is permitted.  The amendments can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or 
retrospectively to all periods presented.  We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2015-17.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915).”  The new standard removes the 
definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of Accounting Standard Codification and the related 
financial reporting requirements specific to development stage entities.  This ASU is intended to reduce cost and 
complexity of financial reporting for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations.  For financial 
reporting requirements other than the VIE guidance in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 was effective for 
annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2014.  For the financial reporting 
requirements related to VIEs in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual and quarterly 
reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early application for public entities is permitted.  
We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-10.  Our preliminary assessment indicates that additional 
disclosures related to VIEs may be required for our joint ventures if the planned principal operations have not 
commenced.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  The new 
standard converged guidance on recognizing revenues in contracts with customers under accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States and International Financial Reporting Standards.  This ASU is intended to improve 
comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets.  In August 
2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective 

122

Date.”  The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year.  Public 
business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 
2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual 
reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  
Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required.  We are currently evaluating 
the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of 
operations.  As part of our assessment work to-date, we have formed an implementation work team, completed training of 
the new ASU’s revenue recognition model and begun contract review and documentation.

Note 29—Condensed Consolidating Financial Information 

Our $7.5 billion of outstanding Senior Notes were issued by Phillips 66 and are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a

Item 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports

and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and 
communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow 
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  As of December 31, 2015, with the participation of management, our 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer carried out an 
evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as 
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act).  Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our 
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 
operating effectively as of December 31, 2015.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the 
quarterly period ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our 
internal control over financial reporting.
