Estimated full-year 2017 net income was $490 million, reflecting non-cash impairment charges of $566 million associated with the Horn River development and the Mackenzie gas project. The decisions not to proceed with these projects at this time were the result of many factors, including an assessment of the relative competitiveness of the investments. The 2017 results compare with net income of $2,165 million in 2016, which included a $1.7 billion gain from the sale of retail sites.
Throughout the year, Imperial improved performance and strengthened its competitive position, focusing on increasing cash flow while delivering industry-leading shareholder returns over the business cycle.
Imperial’s downstream business continued to deliver strong performance across the value chain in 2017. Refining achieved several best-ever results, most notably in energy efficiency and reliability. Petroleum product sales reached the highest level in more than 25 years, demonstrating the company’s commitment to grow volumes and deliver value to customers. Imperial increased its branded sales with the conversion of Husky’s truck transport network to the Esso brand and the opening of Canada’s first Mobil-branded service stations.
Imperial achieved gross oil-equivalent production of 375,000 barrels per day in 2017. The company continued to implement upstream enhancements, increasing annual production at Cold Lake and Kearl, while progressing additional opportunities to further improve performance.
“Substantial progress was made towards addressing reliability issues at Kearl. Following these improvements, Kearl is expected to produce an annual average of 200,000 barrels per day gross in 2018,” said Rich Kruger, chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Capital-efficient investments to add front-end redundancy and flow distribution optionality were announced in the fourth quarter and are expected to be complete by year-end 2019. This work will position the Kearl operation to perform beyond its initial scope by increasing annual average gross production to approximately 240,000 barrels per day in 2020.
Additionally, the company returned more than $1.1 billion to shareholders in 2017 with the resumption of share purchases and continued dividend growth.
“Imperial has high-quality assets, the advantage of integration and a dedicated workforce,” said Kruger. “We are well-positioned to continue to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
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 and natural gas, 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.

Fourth quarter highlights
| • | Net loss of $137 million or $0.16 per-share on a diluted basis, reflecting upstream non-cash impairment charges of $566 million ($0.68 per-share) associated with the Horn River development and the Mackenzie gas project. This compares with net income of $1,444 million ($1.70 per-share) in the fourth quarter of 2016, which included a $988 million ($1.16 per-share) gain from the sale of retail sites. |
| • | Cash generated from operating activities was $1,080 million, an increase of $329 million from the fourth quarter of 2016, representing the highest quarterly result in more than two years. Cash generated from operating activities for the full-year 2017 was $2,763 million. |
| • | Capital and exploration expenditures totalled $216 million, an increase of $3 million from the fourth quarter of 2016. Full-year capital and exploration expenditures totalled $671 million, primarily directed to sustaining capital investments. |
| • | Dividends paid and share purchases totalled $384 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, including the purchase of approximately 6.3 million shares at a cost of $250 million. In 2017, Imperial returned $1,151 million to shareholders with shares purchased valued at $627 million and dividends paid of approximately $524 million. |
| • | Production averaged 399,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day, unchanged from the same period of 2016, as higher production at Cold Lake and Kearl was offset by lower production at Syncrude and the continued shutdown of Norman Wells due to the Enbridge Line 21 precautionary pipeline closure. |
| • | Gross production of Kearl bitumen averaged 176,000 barrels per day in the quarter (125,000 barrels Imperial’s share), up from 169,000 barrels per day (120,000 barrels Imperial’s share) in the fourth quarter of 2016. Planned turnaround activity completed in the quarter impacted production by about 25,000 barrels per day (18,000 barrels Imperial’s share). Full-year gross production of Kearl bitumen averaged 178,000 barrels per day (126,000 barrels Imperial’s share), up from 169,000 barrels per day (120,000 barrels Imperial’s share) in 2016. Planned turnaround activity in 2017 impacted production by about 21,000 barrels per day (15,000 barrels Imperial’s share) and included the execution of improvement activities. Following these improvements, Kearl is expected to produce an annual average of 200,000 barrels per day gross in 2018. |
| • | Progressing work to increase Kearl annual average gross production to 240,000 barrels per day. Imperial announced planned investment in supplemental crushing capacity and flow distribution interconnects at Kearl to enhance reliability, increase redundancy and reduce downtime. The work is expected to be complete by year-end 2019 at an approximate cost of $400 million Imperial’s share. |
| • | Refinery throughput averaged 391,000 barrels per day, compared to 401,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016, representing 92 percent capacity utilization. The quarterly throughput reflects planned maintenance activities at the Nanticoke refinery initiated in the third quarter and completed in the fourth quarter. Excluding these planned maintenance activities, utilization was 99 percent in the quarter. |
| • | Petroleum product sales were 496,000 barrels per day, up from 493,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016. Annual sales were 492,000 barrels per day, representing the highest volumes in more than 25 years. |
| • | Advancing installation of cogeneration at the Strathcona refinery. Imperial announced planned investment in a $250 million facility to support its energy efficiency objectives. The project, comparable to other cogeneration facilities installed across Imperial’s operations, is expected to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions and lower operating costs at the refinery. Start-up is targeted for 2020. |
| • | Ongoing commitment to the highest standards in safety and operational integrity, demonstrated by continued strong personnel safety performance, environmental regulatory compliance and no significant process safety incidents in 2017. Imperial remains dedicated to achieving its vision of a workplace where Nobody Gets Hurt. |

IMPERIAL OIL LIMITED
Fourth quarter 2017 vs. fourth quarter 2016
The company’s net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $137 million or $0.16 per-share on a diluted basis, reflecting impairment charges of $289 million ($0.35 per-share) associated with the Horn River development and $277 million ($0.33 per-share) associated with the Mackenzie gas project. This compares to the net income of $1,444 million or $1.70 per-share for the same period last year, which included a $988 million gain from the sale of retail sites.
Upstream recorded a net loss in the fourth quarter of $481 million, reflecting impairment charges of $289 million associated with the Horn River development and $277 million associated with the Mackenzie gas project. Excluding these impairment charges, fourth quarter 2017 net income was $85 million, compared to net income of $103 million in the same period of 2016. Results were negatively impacted by higher royalties of about $100 million, lower Syncrude and Norman Wells volumes of about $60 million, higher operating expenses at Kearl of about $50 million and the impact of a stronger Canadian currency of about $50 million. Results benefitted from the impact of higher Canadian crude oil realizations of about $260 million.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) averaged US$55.32 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2017, up from US$49.34 per barrel in the same quarter of 2016. Western Canada Select (WCS) averaged US$43.15 per barrel and US$34.87 per barrel respectively for the same periods. The WTI / WCS differential narrowed to 22 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, from 29 percent in the same period of 2016.
The Canadian dollar averaged US$0.79 in the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of US$0.04 from the fourth quarter of 2016.
Imperial’s average Canadian dollar realizations for bitumen and synthetic crudes increased generally in line with the North American benchmarks, adjusted for changes in exchange rates and transportation costs. Synthetic realizations were also favourably affected by local supply constraints. Bitumen realizations averaged $42.92 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $8.26 per barrel versus the fourth quarter of 2016. Synthetic crude realizations averaged $74.12 per barrel, an increase of $9.27 per barrel for the same period of 2016.
Gross production of Cold Lake bitumen averaged 168,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter, up from 159,000 barrels per day in the same period last year. The higher production was mainly due to production optimization and the timing of the steam cycles.
Gross production of Kearl bitumen averaged 176,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter (125,000 barrels Imperial’s share) up from 169,000 barrels per day (120,000 barrels Imperial’s share) during the fourth quarter of 2016. Higher production was mainly the result of improved reliability.
The company’s share of gross production from Syncrude averaged 81,000 barrels per day, compared to 87,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016. Lower production was mainly due to planned and unplanned maintenance activity.
Downstream net income was $290 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $1,361 million in the same period of 2016 which included a $1,122 million gain from the sale of company-owned retail sites and the general aviation business. Excluding the impact of the 2016 asset sales, fourth quarter 2017 net income increased by $51 million, reflecting higher refining margins of about $130 million and marketing margins of about $60 million. These factors were partly offset by higher maintenance activity of about $120 million.
Refinery throughput averaged 391,000 barrels per day, compared to 401,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016. Reduced throughput reflects higher turnaround activity mainly associated with the Nanticoke refinery.
Petroleum product sales were 496,000 barrels per day, up from 493,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Chemical net income was $74 million in the fourth quarter, up from $27 million in the same quarter of 2016, mainly due to stronger margins.

Corporate and other costs were $20 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $47 million in the same period of 2016, mainly due to lower share-based compensation charges.
Cash flow generated from operating activities was $1,080 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $751 million in the corresponding period in 2016, reflecting higher earnings, excluding the impact of asset sales and impairment charges.
Investing activities used net cash of $327 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $1,597 million cash generated from investing activities in the same period of 2016, reflecting lower proceeds from asset sales.
Cash used in financing activities was $391 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $2,205 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, reflecting the absence of debt repayments. Dividends paid in the fourth quarter of 2017 were $134 million. The per-share dividend paid in the fourth quarter was $0.16, up from $0.15 in the same period of 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, Imperial resumed share purchases under its share purchase program. During the fourth quarter, the company purchased about 6.3 million shares for approximately $250 million.
The company’s cash balance was $1,195 million at December 31, 2017, versus $391 million at the end of 2016.
Share purchases are currently anticipated to equal approximately $250 million in the first quarter of 2018. Purchase plans may be modified at any time without prior notice.
