Phillips 66

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Additionally, we have elected a $1 million threshold to disclose certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings. Except as previously reported, we do not believe we are subject to any matters, individually or in the aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. During the first quarter of 2026, there were no new matters and two material developments with respect to matters previously reported.

Further, our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act, with the EPA, five 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

Matters Previously Reported (unresolved or resolved since the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K)

As described further in the “Legal Proceedings” section of Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 17, 2022, Propel Fuels, Inc. (Propel Fuels) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda (the Propel Court), alleging that Phillips 66 Company misappropriated trade secrets related to Propel Fuels’ renewable fuels business during and after due diligence. On October 16, 2024, a jury returned a verdict against Phillips 66 Company for $604.9 million in compensatory damages and issued a willfulness finding. Based on the willfulness finding, Propel Fuels asked the Propel Court to award $1.2 billion in exemplary damages, and Phillips 66 Company filed a brief in opposition to that request. A hearing on exemplary damages was held on March 4, 2025, and the Propel Court awarded Propel Fuels $195 million in exemplary damages on July 30, 2025. On August 5, 2025, the Propel Court entered a final judgment against Phillips 66 Company in the amount of $833 million. The judgment includes the $604.9 million jury verdict, $195 million of exemplary damages, and $33.3 million of pre-judgment interest at 7%. From the date of final judgment, post-judgment interest of 10% is accruing. On August 25, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed three post-trial motions requesting that the Propel Court render judgment in favor of Phillips 66 Company, grant a new trial, and/or reduce the damages award. On October 20, 2025, the Propel Court denied Phillips 66 Company’s motions. On November 14, 2025, Phillips 66 Company filed its Notice of Appeal, which has been assigned to Division Two of the First District Court of Appeal. Phillips 66 Company intends to file its opening appellate brief in accordance with the applicable appellate deadlines and any extensions thereto. Separately, on October 24, 2025, Propel Fuels filed additional motions with the Propel Court seeking attorney’s fees and costs. Phillips 66 Company filed its opposition to that request on January 13, 2026. The Propel Court heard argument on the motions on February 10, 2026, and took the motions under submission. Phillips 66 Company denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend its position. While Phillips 66 Company believes the jury verdict is not legally or factually supported, there can be no assurances that such defense efforts will be successful. Until the final resolution of this matter, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
