“We delivered strong operational performance and disciplined execution, while continuing to invest to grow energy supply,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer. In the United States, for third quarter 2026, upstream production exceeded 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day for the fifth consecutive quarter, the company’s refineries achieved record crude throughput, and new production records were achieved for assets in the Eastern Mediterranean, and Australia.

“We’re reinvesting to bring more energy to a supply-constrained market,” Wirth continued. In Venezuela, Chevron’s joint ventures plan to invest $7 billion over the next five years, with the goal of unlocking low-cost, high-return, long-duration production growth. Also, in the United

States, the company signed agreements to reduce Bakken midstream costs by approximately 50 percent, strengthening the asset’s competitiveness. “Building on our performance this quarter, we're focused on delivering the reliable energy the world needs today, while positioning Chevron for the future,” Wirth concluded.

Financial Highlights

•Reported earnings increased compared to third quarter 2025 primarily due to reliable operations with higher margins on refined product sales and higher crude oil realizations, partially offset by unfavorable timing effects resulting from the rising price environment.

•Production in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than a year ago primarily due to lower entitlements from higher prices and impacts from the Middle East conflict, partly offset by record production at operated assets in Australia, higher production in the Gulf of America and the inclusion of one month of Venezuela production following a change to equity accounting in the quarter.

•U.S. refinery crude unit throughput set a new record of 1.09 million barrels per day, reflecting reliable crude unit capacity utilization of nearly 98 percent.

•Cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2026 was higher than a year ago, driven by higher earnings and increased cash distributions from Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO). Adjusted free cash flow benefited from a $1 billion loan repayment from TCO and proceeds from asset sales.

•Capex in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than last year largely due to lower spend in the Permian Basin.

•Total debt was reduced by an additional $3.5 billion and net debt was down $7.8 billion in the quarter, further strengthening Chevron’s balance sheet.

•The company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of one dollar and seventy-eight cents ($1.78) per s
