Analysis · PSX · Energy & Transportation
The headline number was already out this morning, but the 10-Q is where the quality of the quarter shows: $5,616 million of net income attributable to Phillips 66 and $14.08 per diluted share came almost entirely from refining, where worldwide realized margins hit $38.00 per barrel versus $12.15 a year ago. Nine-month operating cash flow of $12,276 million funded $2,921 million of buybacks and $1,521 million of dividends while total debt still fell to $18,530 million, pushing debt-to-capital to 34% from 39%. The offsets worth knowing: a $3,308 million nine-month net loss on commodity derivative activity, a Propel Fuels accrual now at $947 million and still under appeal, and a new Standing Rock lawsuit filed October 9 challenging DAPL's expanded capacity.
