Occidental Petroleum Announces First Quarter 2003 Results
*T
LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Occidental Petroleum
Corporation (NYSE:OXY) (LSE:OCP) announced net income for the first
quarter 2003 of $325 million ($0.86 per share), compared with $25
million ($0.07 per share) for the first quarter 2002.
In announcing the results, Dr. Ray R. Irani, chairman and chief
executive officer, said, "Oil and natural gas production for the quarter
averaged 532,000 barrels of oil equivalent - the highest level for any
quarter in the company's history. Our core earnings, which were driven
by high oil and natural gas prices, hit their highest level in the last
six quarters. Strong cash flow during the quarter resulted in
additional debt reduction of $182 million which in turn lowered our debt-
to-total-capitalization to 41 percent compared to 43 percent at the end
of last year. Core earnings, as shown on the attached schedule, were
$433 million for the first quarter 2003 ($1.14 per share)."
*T
Oil and Gas
*T
Oil and gas segment and core earnings were $727 million for the first
quarter 2003, compared with $306 million for the first quarter 2002.
The improvement in the first quarter 2003 earnings reflected $440
million from higher worldwide crude oil and natural gas prices.
*T
Chemicals
*T
Chemical segment and core earnings were $35 million for the first
quarter 2003, compared with a $31 million loss for the first quarter
2002. The improvement in the first quarter 2003 results reflected
higher sales prices for PVC, chlorine and EDC; partially offset by
higher energy and raw material costs and lower caustic soda sales
prices. The first quarter 2002 included a $36 million pre-tax loss for
Equistar, which was sold in the third quarter 2002, and a $14 million
pre-tax charge for severance.
Statements in this presentation that contain words such as "will" or
"expect", or otherwise relate to the future, are forward-looking and
involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected
results. Factors that could cause results to differ materially include,
but are not limited to: global commodity pricing fluctuations, and
supply/demand considerations, for oil, gas and chemicals; higher-than-

in) any expansion, capital expenditure, acquisition, or disposition.

See footnotes on following page.
(a) The first quarter 2003 includes a $61 million pre-tax interest
charge to repay a $450 million 6.4 percent senior notes issue that had
ten years of remaining life, but was subject to re-marketing on April 1,
2003. The three months 2002 includes interest income on notes receivable
from Altura partners of $14 million. The partnership exercised an
option in May 2002 to redeem the sellers' remaining partnership
interests in exchange for the outstanding balance on the notes.
(b) Excludes U.S. federal income tax charges and credits allocated to
the segments and foreign taxes. Oil and gas segment earnings include
credits of $1 million for each of the three months 2003 and 2002.
Chemical segment earnings have been impacted by credits of $4 million
for the three months 2002.
(c) The three months 2002 includes preferred distributions to the
Occidental Permian Partners of $15 million. This is essentially offset
by the interest income discussed in (a) above. The partnership
exercised an option in May 2002 to redeem the sellers' remaining
partnership interests in exchange for the outstanding balance on the
notes.
(d) Effective January 1, 2003, Occidental implemented SFAS No. 143 -
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." Adoption of this new
accounting standard resulted in a cumulative after-tax reduction in net
income of $50 million. Also effective January 1, 2003, Occidental
implemented the rescission of EITF 98-10, which precludes mark-to-market
accounting for all energy-trading contracts that are not derivatives and
fair-value accounting for inventories purchased from third parties.
Adoption of this accounting change resulted in a cumulative after-tax
reduction in net income of $18 million. Effective January 1, 2002,
Occidental implemented SFAS No. 142 - "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Adoption of this new accounting standard resulted in a
cumulative after-tax reduction in net income of $95 million in the first
quarter 2002.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTING EARNINGS
Occidental's results of operations often include the effects of
significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely
and unpredictably in nature, timing, and amount. Therefore, management
uses a measure called "core earnings", which excludes those items. This
non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from
management's performance, but rather is meant to provide useful
information to investors interested in comparing Occidental's earnings
performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered
representative of management's performance over the long term. Core
earnings is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The following table sets forth the core earnings and significant items
affecting earnings for each operating segment and corporate:
