In light of current marketthis, and given the considerable uncertainties surrounding the ongoing operation and future cash-flow generating capability of Sakhalin, an impairment assessment was required, and management determined that the carrying value or cost, generally determined underof the last-in first-out method (LIFO).asset group was not recoverable. As a result, the Corporation’s first quarter earnings include after-tax charges of $3.4 billion largely representing the impairment of its operations related to Sakhalin. On a before-tax basis, the charges amounted to $4.6 billion, substantially all of which is reflected in the line captioned “Depreciation and depletion (including impairments)” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The Corporation's resultsexit from the project would result in quantities estimated at 150 million oil-equivalent barrels no longer qualifying as proved reserves, which represented less than 1 percent of the Corporation's 18.5 billion oil-equivalent barrels of proved reserves at year-end 2021.
The assessment of fair value required the use of Level 3 inputs and assumptions that are based on the views of a likely market participant. As of March 31, the pool of market participants for Russia-based upstream assets was assessed as extremely limited. In arriving at a fair value for its interest in Sakhalin, the Corporation considered, among other things, the current state of sanctions, the regulatory environment within Russia, the statements and actions of potential market participants, and the range and risks of future cash flows that a market participant might consider. Given these significant uncertainties, the likelihood of a third-party market participant agreeing to engage in a transaction for the first quarterCorporation’s interest in Sakhalin, as of 2020 included a before-tax charge of $2,777 million, included in "Crude oil and product purchases" on the Statement of Income, from writing down the book value of inventoriesMarch 31, was judged to their market value at the end of the period. This adjustment, together with a market adjustment to inventory for equity companies included in "Income from equity affiliates," resulted in a $2,096 million after-tax charge to earnings (excluding noncontrolling interests) in the first quarter of 2020. These charges were adjusted throughout 2020 to reflect the current market price of the inventory at the end of each reporting period.be remote.
In the first quarter of 2020, mainly as a result of declines in prices for crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products and a significant decline in the Corporation's market capitalization at the end of the first quarter, before-tax goodwill impairment charges of $611 million and other impairment charges of $299 million were recognized. The charges related to goodwill impairment were included in “Depreciation and depletion” on the Statement of Income while the charges related to other impairments were largely included in “Income from equity affiliates.”

3. Litigation and Other Contingencies
Litigation. A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters, as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.
Other Contingencies. The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31, 2021,2022, for guarantees relating to notes, loans and performance under contracts. Where guarantees for environmental remediation and other similar matters do not include a stated cap, the amounts reflect management’s estimate of the maximum potential exposure. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Additionally, the Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.
The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.
In accordance with a Venezuelan nationalization decree issued in February 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.
ExxonMobil collected awards of $908 million in an arbitration against PdVSA under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in respect of an indemnity related to the Cerro Negro Project and $260 million in an arbitration for compensation due for the La Ceiba Project and for export curtailments at the Cerro Negro Project under rules of International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). An ICSID arbitration award relating to the Cerro Negro Project’s expropriation ($1.4 billion) was annulled based on a determination that a prior Tribunal failed to adequately explain why the cap on damages in the indemnity owed by PdVSA did not affect or limit the amount owed for the expropriation of the Cerro Negro Project. ExxonMobil filed a new claim seeking to restore the original award of damages for the Cerro Negro Project with ICSID on September 26, 2018.
The net impact of this matter on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. Regardless, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

An affiliate of ExxonMobil is one of the Contractors under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) covering the Erha block located in the offshore waters of Nigeria. ExxonMobil's affiliate is the operator of the block and owns a 56.25 percent interest under the PSC. The Contractors are in dispute with NNPC regarding NNPC's lifting of crude oil in excess of its entitlement under the terms of the PSC. In accordance with the terms of the PSC, the Contractors initiated arbitration in Abuja, Nigeria, under the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act. On October 24, 2011, a three-member arbitral Tribunal issued an award upholding the Contractors' position in all material respects and awarding damages to the Contractors jointly in an amount of approximately $1.8 billion plus $234 million in accrued interest. The Contractors petitioned a Nigerian federal court for enforcement of the award, and NNPC petitioned the same court to have the award set aside. On May 22, 2012, the court set aside the award. The Contractors appealed that judgment to the Court of Appeal, Abuja Judicial Division. On July 22, 2016, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the lower court setting aside the award. On October 21, 2016, the Contractors appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. In June 2013, the Contractors filed a lawsuit against NNPC in the Nigerian federal high court in order to preserve their ability to seek enforcement of the PSC in the courts if necessary. Following dismissal by this court, the Contractors appealed to the Nigerian Court of Appeal in June 2016. In October 2014, the Contractors filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) to enforce, if necessary, the arbitration award against NNPC assets residing within that jurisdiction. NNPC moved to dismiss the lawsuit. On September 4, 2019, the SDNY dismissed the Contractors’ petition to recognize and enforce the Erha arbitration award. The Contractors filed a notice of appeal in the Second Circuit on October 2, 2019. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation's consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, regardless of the outcome of enforcement proceedings, the Corporation does not expect the proceedings to have a material effect upon the Corporation's operations or financial condition.

At March 31, 2021,2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, the Corporation had $447$1,347 million and $504$641 million of collateral under master netting arrangements not offset against the derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily related to initial margin requirements.

The Corporation may use non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign currency-denominated debt, as hedges of its net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Under this method, the change in the carrying value of the financial instruments due to foreign exchange fluctuations is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Corporation has designated $5.3$5.0 billion of its Euro-denominated long-term debt and related accrued interest as a net investment hedge of its European business. The net investment hedge is deemed to be perfectly effective.
The Corporation had undrawn short-term committed lines of credit of $10.7 billion and undrawn long-term committed lines of credit of $0.6 billion as of first quarter 2022.
Derivative Instruments. The Corporation’s size, strong capital structure, geographic diversity and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses reduce the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the Corporation uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and for trading purposes.to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income on a net basis in the line “Sales and other operating revenue.” The Corporation’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting. At times, the Corporation also enters into currency and interest rate derivatives, none of which are material to the Corporation’s financial position as of March 31, 2021,2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, or results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2021,2022 and 2020.2021.
Credit risk associated with the Corporation’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The Corporation maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.
The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments at March 31, 2021,2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, was as follows:

ExxonMobilIn February 2022, the Corporation signed an agreement with HitecVision, through its wholly-owned portfolio company NEOSeplat Energy Offshore Limited for the sale of most of its non-operated upstream assets inMobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent and government approvals. If these are attained, the United Kingdom central and northern North Sea for more than $1 billion. The transaction iswould be expected to close nearno earlier than mid-year 2021, subject to standard conditions precedent, including regulatory and third-party approvals.2022. The agreed sales price is subject to interim period adjustments from the effective date of January 1, 2021 to the closing date, and has an additional upside potential for further adjustments based on commodity prices and production levels. Assuming a mid-2022 closing date and based on currently available information, the Corporation expects to recognize a loss of approximately $0.3 billion in contingent payments, based on production level$500 million when and commodity prices. Estimated total cash flow fromif the potential divestment will range from $0.7 billionultimately meets held-for-sale criteria under ASC 360, following the resolution of certain conditions precedent noted above.
Following the end of the first quarter, the Corporation executed an agreement for the sale of ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania, consisting of certain unproved Upstream assets, to $1.2 billion, of which $0.7 billionRomgaz S.A. The transaction is anticipated to $0.8 billion is expected in 2021close mid-year 2022, and the remainder in future years. The Corporation expects to recognize a gain at closing.

10.Restructuring Activities
During 2020, ExxonMobil conducted an extensive global review of staffing levels and subsequently commenced targeted workforce reductions within a number of countries to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The programs, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2021, include both voluntary and involuntary employee separations and reductions in contractors.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation recorded before-tax charges of $39 million, consisting primarily of employee separation costs, from workforce reductions in Singapore and Europe associated with the global review of staffing levels. These costs are captured in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Income.
For the full year, the Corporation estimates charges of up to $200 million related to planned workforce reduction programs associated with the global review of staffing levels. This does not include charges related to employee reductions associated with any portfolio changes or other projects.
The following table summarizes the reserves and charges related to the workforce reduction programs associated with the global review of staffing levels, which are recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.”

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In early 2020,During the balance ofCOVID-19 pandemic, industry investment to maintain and increase production capacity was restrained to preserve capital, resulting in underinvestment and supply andtightness as demand for petroleum and petrochemical products experienced two significant disruptive effects. Onrecovered. Across late 2021 and early 2022, this dynamic, along with supply chain constraints, and a continuation of demand recovery led to a steady increase in oil and natural gas prices. In the demand side,first quarter of 2022, tightness in the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly through most areasoil and natural gas markets was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions imposed upon business and other activities in Russia. The price of Brent crude oil and certain regional natural gas indicators increased to levels not seen for several years. Additionally, by the end of the world resultingfirst quarter, refining margins improved to levels above the 10-year range, and the tight supply and demand balance is expected to persist.
In early March, in substantial reductionsresponse to Russia’s military action in consumerUkraine, the Corporation announced that it plans to discontinue operations on the Sakhalin-1 project (“Sakhalin”) and business activitydevelop steps to exit the venture. The Corporation remains focused on protecting the safety of employees, operations, and significantly reduced demandthe environment. The Corporation is complying with all applicable laws and sanctions and is currently engaged in transitioning Sakhalin-1 operating activities to another party.
The Corporation’s first quarter results include after-tax charges of $3.4 billion largely representing the impairment of its operations related to Sakhalin (see Note 2 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Efforts to transition operatorship to a third party and exit the venture is expected to result in limited hydrocarbon sales and cash flows for crudethe Corporation’s account during the second quarter of 2022, and none following that period. For reference, excluding the impact of impairments and other charges, after-tax earnings related to the Corporation’s interest in Sakhalin in the first quarter were approximately $0.2 billion, and combined oil naturaland gas and petroleum products. This reductionproduction was approximately 65 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day. The Corporation's exit from the project would result in demand coincided with announcements of increased production in certain key oil-producing countriesquantities estimated at 150 million oil-equivalent barrels no longer qualifying as proved reserves, which led to increases in inventory levels and sharp declines in prices for crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products.

While demand for petroleum and petrochemical products has rebounded, the lingering effectsrepresented less than one percent of the weak 2020 business environment continued to have a negative impact on financial results in 2021 when compared to periods prior to the pandemic. SignsCorporation's 18.5 billion oil-equivalent barrels of improvement are emerging with stronger prices and margins across all businesses when compared to the fourth quarter 2020. However, Downstream margins remain lower when compared to historical levels over the last decade.

Earnings (loss) excluding Identified Items, are earnings (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $250 million in a given quarter. The earnings (loss) impact of an Identified Item for an individual segment in a given quarter may be less than $250 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. 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 Corporation 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. Earnings (loss) excluding Identified Items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to ExxonMobil as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1)Natural gas is converted to an oil-equivalent basis at six million cubic feet per one thousand barrels.

Listed below are descriptions of ExxonMobil’s volumes reconciliation factors which are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms.
Entitlements - Net Interest are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes caused by non-operational changes to volume-determining factors. These factors consist of net interest changes specified in Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) which typically occur when cumulative investment returns or production volumes achieve defined thresholds, changes in equity upon achieving pay-out in partner investment carry situations, equity redeterminations as specified in venture agreements, or as a result of the termination or expiry of a concession. Once a net interest change has occurred, it typically will not be reversed by subsequent events, such as lower crude oil prices.
Entitlements - Price, Spend and Other are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes resulting from temporary changes to non-operational volume-determining factors. These factors include changes in oil and gas prices or spending levels from one period to another. According to the terms of contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, price or spending variability can increase or decrease royalty burdens and/or volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. For example, at higher prices, fewer barrels are required for ExxonMobil to recover its costs. These effects generally vary from period to period with field spending patterns or market prices for oil and natural gas. Such factors can also include other temporary changes in net interest as dictated by specific provisions in production agreements.
Government Mandates are changes to ExxonMobil's sustainable production levels due to temporary non-operational production limits imposed by governments, generally upon a sector, type or method of production.
Divestments are reductions in ExxonMobil’s production arising from commercial arrangements to fully or partially reduce equity in a field or asset in exchange for financial or other economic consideration.
Growth and Other factors comprise all other operational and non-operational factors not covered by the above definitions that may affect volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. Such factors include, but are not limited to, production enhancements from project and work program activities, acquisitions including additions from asset exchanges, downtime, market demand, natural field decline, and any fiscal or commercial terms that do not affect entitlements.

On April 29, 2022, the company announced that it is increasing its share repurchase program from up to $10 billion to a long-term debt issuancetotal of up to $30 billion through 2023. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be discontinued or resumed at any time. The timing and amount of shares actually repurchased in the first quarter of 2020.future will depend on market, business, and other factors.

Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include potential for future growth and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both.
The termination of certain transportation service agreements in the first quarter reduced commitments previously reported at year-end in Form 10-K under “Take-or-pay and unconditional purchase obligations” by approximately $2.3 billion.

In the United States, the Corporation has various ongoing U.S. federal income tax positions at issue with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years beginning in 2006. The Corporation filed a refund suit for tax years 2006-2009 in U.S. federal district court (District Court) with respect to the positions at issue for those years. On February 24, 2020, the Corporation received an adverse ruling on this suit. The IRS has asserted penalties associated with several of those positions. The Corporation has not recognized the penalties as an expense because the Corporation does not expect the penalties to be sustained under applicable law. On January 13, 2021, the District Court ruled that no penalties apply to the Corporation's positions in this suit. The Corporation filed a noticeand the government have appealed the District Court's rulings to the U.S. Court of appeal regarding the substantive issues toAppeals for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 9, 2021.

The Corporation has not recognized asserted penalties for 2010-2011 as an expense because the Corporation does not expect the penalties to be sustained under applicable law. Unfavorable resolution of all positions at issue with the IRS would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
During 2020, ExxonMobil conducted an extensive global review of staffing levels and subsequently commenced targeted workforce reductions within a number of countries to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The programs, which are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021, include both voluntary and involuntary employee separations and reductions in contractors.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation recorded before-tax charges of $39 million ($31 million after tax), consisting primarily of employee separation costs, from workforce reduction programs in Singapore and Europe associated with the global review of staffing levels. These costs are captured in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Statement of Income. Before-tax cash outflows in first quarter of 2021 associated with these activities were $130 million.
The Corporation estimates total charges of up to $200 million in 2021 related to planned workforce reduction programs with cash outflows ranging between $400 million and $600 million. This does not include charges related to employee reductions associated with any portfolio changes or other projects. Before-tax workforce reduction savings, including employees and contractors, are estimated to range between $1 billion and $2 billion per year after program completion when compared to 2019 levels.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
ExxonMobil has elected to use a $1 million threshold for disclosing environmental proceedings.

On April 13, 2021,February 22, 2022, the United States filed a proposed Fourth Consent Decree Amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Proposed Amendment reflects an agreed settlement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the State of Illinois to resolve alleged violations at ExxonMobil Oil Corporation’s Joliet Refinery in Illinois of (i) certain New Source Performance Standards and other requirements for refineries as further described in a 2013 Notice of Violation/Finding of Violation and (ii) certain requirements in the original Consent Decree entered into with the EPA in December 2005 (in each case, as previously reported on the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2013 and, with respect to the original 2005 Consent Decree, for the third quarter of 2005). Under the Proposed Amendment, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation has agreed to pay approximately $1.5 million in penalties, including $1,086,640 to the United States Treasury and $428,823 to the State of Illinois, and to implement various measures to reduce emissions at the Joliet Refinery including completion of approximately $10 million in capital improvements. The Proposed Amendment will also replace, supersede, and terminate the original 2005 Consent Decree as it pertains to ExxonMobil Oil Corporation’s Joliet Refinery. Once the Proposed Amendment is published in the Federal Register, it will be open to public comment for 30 days before the U.S. District Court may approve it.

As reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2020, ExxonMobil appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit a judgmentConservation Division of the United States District Court for the Southern DistrictNew Mexico Department of Texas entered on April 26, 2017, in a citizen suit captioned Environment Texas Citizen Lobby, Inc. et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation.

A hearing is scheduled for May 18, 2022, but may be delayed by the United States Treasury. In the suit filedDepartment in December 2010, Environment Texas Citizen Lobby, Inc. and the Sierra Club, Lone Star Chapter, sought declaratory and injunctive relief, penalties, attorney fees and litigation costs associated with alleged violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act. Plaintiffs alleged that ExxonMobil repeatedly violated, and will continueorder to violate, its air operating permits, the Texas State Implementation Plan and the Clean Air Act by emitting air pollutants into the atmosphere from the Baytown complex in excess of applicable emission limitations or otherwise without authorization at the Baytown, Texas, refinery, chemical plant and olefins plant. On July 29, 2020, the Fifth Circuit vacated the U.S. District Court’s penalty award and remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. On March 2, 2021, the U.S. District Court awarded $14.25 million in civil penalties, payable to the United States Treasury. ExxonMobil filed its appeal of the judgment in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on April 12, 2021.
