OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/

The Company's financial results are significantly influenced by oil prices and, to a lesser extent, NGL and natural gas prices and commodity market differentials. The average WTI price per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $71.93, comparedto $59.14 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and $71.42 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Changes in oil prices could result in adjustments to the Company's capital investment levels and allocation, which may in turn impact production volumes. Oil prices are expected to remain volatile due to a number of factors, including heightened geopolitical risk, the evolving macroeconomic environment and its effects on global energy demand, future actions by OPEC and non-OPEC oil-producing nations, and ongoing shifts in U.S. trade policy.

The ongoing conflict with Iran has significantly disrupted global crude oil and natural gas markets. Actions impacting commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy infrastructure have resulted in the suspension of substantial supply and higher commodity prices. The duration and trajectory of the conflict remains uncertain, contributing to ongoing commodity price volatility.

Recent U.S. trade policy actions, including the introduction of tariff replacement measures, could also have implications for Occidental's business operations and financial performance. While the Company has not experienced a material impact to date, tariffs or tariff replacement measures imposed on the Company's suppliers could increase costs over time, and broader macroeconomic effects of policy changes and uncertainty could affect demand for the Company's products and its realized prices.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

The Company is focused on delivering a unique shareholder value proposition with its portfolio of oil and gas and midstream and marketing assets, as well as its ongoing development of carbon management and sequestration solutions and GHG emissions reduction efforts.
