Imperial reported estimated net income in the third quarter of $1,237 million, up from net income of $1,133 million in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting stronger upstream production and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower realizations. Quarterly cash flows from operating activities were $1,487 million, compared to $1,629 million generated in the second quarter of 2024. Excluding the impact of working capital1, cash flows from operating activities were $1,797 million, up from $1,508 million in the second quarter of 2024.

"Imperial achieved another strong quarter of operating performance across our integrated business," said Brad Corson, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "Operating results were driven by the strongest third-quarter upstream production in over 30 years and continued improvement in upstream unit cash costs1, as well as achieving strong downstream utilization while safely executing significant planned turnaround activities at our Nanticoke and Strathcona refineries."

Upstream production in the third quarter averaged 447,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day, the highest third quarter production in over 30 years. At Kearl, quarterly total gross production averaged 295,000 barrels per day (209,000 barrels Imperial's share), matching the asset's third quarter production record and achieving a year-to-date production record. Cold Lake quarterly gross production averaged 147,000 barrels per day supported by the strong ramp up of Grand Rapids using solvent-assisted SAGD technology. Grand Rapids produced 15,000 barrels per day throughout the quarter and averaged 20,000 barrels per day during the month of September, exceeding earlier projections. The Maskwa plant at Cold Lake successfully completed its planned turnaround activity safely and ahead of schedule. The company's share of Syncrude quarterly production averaged 81,000 gross barrels per day.

After more than a century, Imperial continues to be an industry leader in applying technology and innovation to responsibly develop Canada’s energy resources. As Canada’s largest petroleum refiner, a major producer of crude oil, a key petrochemical producer and a leading fuels marketer from coast to coast, our company remains committed to high standards across all areas of our business.

Q3 News Release

"The strong ramp up of Grand Rapids, industry's first commercial application of solvent-assisted SAGD, is a major milestone in the transformation of our Cold Lake asset which supports our long-term strategy to grow production, lower unit cash costs1 and reduce greenhouse gas intensity," said Corson.

Downstream throughput in the quarter averaged 389,000 barrels per day, with overall refinery capacity utilization of 90 percent. Operating results included the safe execution of planned turnaround activities at the Nanticoke and Strathcona refineries which were ahead of plan and below budget. Petroleum product sales averaged 487,000 barrels per day. Construction continued on Canada’s largest renewable diesel facility at the Strathcona refinery. When completed, the project is expected to have a capacity of more than one billion litres of renewable diesel annually.

During the quarter, Imperial returned a total of $1,528 million to shareholders through dividend payments and accelerated share repurchases under the normal course issuer bid (NCIB) program. The company also declared a fourth quarter dividend of 60 cents per share.

"Imperial remains committed to shareholder returns as demonstrated by 30 consecutive years of dividend growth and our plans to complete our full NCIB by year end," said Corson.

Non-GAAP financial measures and other specified financial measures
Certain measures included in this document are not prescribed by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These measures constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, and "specified financial measures" under National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, and other information required by these regulations, have been provided. Non-GAAP financial measures and specified financial measures are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized definition. As such, these measures may not be directly comparable to measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

Cash flows from (used in) operating activities excluding working capital
Cash flows from (used in) operating activities excluding working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that is the total cash flows from operating activities less the changes in operating assets and liabilities in the period. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities" within the company’s Consolidated statement of cash flows. Management believes it is useful for investors to consider these numbers in comparing the underlying performance of the company’s business across periods when there are significant period-to-period differences in the amount of changes in working capital. Changes in working capital is equal to “Changes in operating assets and liabilities” as disclosed in the company’s Consolidated statement of cash flows and in Attachment II of this document. This measure assesses the cash flows at an operating level, and as such, does not include proceeds from asset sales as defined in Cash flows from operating activities and asset sales in the Frequently Used Terms section of the company’s annual Form 10-K.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is cash flows from operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and equity company investments plus proceeds from asset sales. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities" within the company’s Consolidated statement of cash flows. This measure is used to evaluate cash available for financing activities (including but not limited to dividends and share purchases) after investment in the business.

Net income (loss) excluding identified items
Net income (loss) excluding identified items is a non-GAAP financial measure that is total net income (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $100 million in a given quarter. The net income (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment in a given quarter may be less than $100 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Net income (loss)" within the company’s Consolidated statement of income. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events from business results. The company believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Net income (loss) excluding identified items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All identified items are presented on an after-tax basis.

Reconciliation of net income (loss) excluding identified items
There were no identified items in the third quarter or year-to-date 2024 and 2023 periods.

Cash operating costs (cash costs)
Cash operating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that consists of total expenses, less purchases of crude oil and products, federal excise taxes and fuel charge, financing, and costs that are non-cash in nature, including depreciation and depletion, and non-service pension and postretirement benefit. The components of cash operating costs include "Production and manufacturing", "Selling and general" and "Exploration" from the company’s Consolidated statement of income, and as disclosed in Attachment III of this document. The sum of these income statement lines serves as an indication of cash operating costs and does not reflect the total cash expenditures of the company. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Total expenses" within the company’s Consolidated statement of income. This measure is useful for investors to understand the company’s efforts to optimize cash through disciplined expense management.

Unit cash operating cost (unit cash costs)
Unit cash operating costs is a non-GAAP ratio. Unit cash operating costs (unit cash costs) is calculated by dividing cash operating costs by total gross oil-equivalent production, and is calculated for the Upstream segment, as well as the major Upstream assets. Cash operating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure and is disclosed and reconciled above. This measure is useful for investors to understand the expense management efforts of the company’s major assets as a component of the overall Upstream segment. Unit cash operating cost, as used by management, does not directly align with the definition of “Average unit production costs” as set out by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and disclosed in the company’s SEC Form 10-K.
