Excluding the impact of working capital1, cash flows from operating activities were $2,522 million, up from $1,239 million in the first quarter of 2026.“Imperial’s advantaged integrated business model delivered strong financial results across all operating segments, Upstream, Downstream and Chemical, while completing significant planned turnaround activity,” said John Whelan, chairman, president and chief executive officer.Upstream production in the quarter averaged 414,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day. At Kearl, quarterly total gross production averaged 257,000 barrels per day (182,000 barrels Imperial’s share) including the successful execution of the planned turnaround. Cold Lake averaged 149,000 barrels per day including strong performance of the solvent-assisted SAGD technology at Grand Rapids. The company’s share of Syncrude production in the quarter averaged 73,000 gross barrels per day.Downstream throughput in the quarter averaged 331,000 barrels per day, resulting in refinery capacity utilization of 76 percent. Throughput was impacted by planned turnaround work at the Strathcona refinery and unplanned downtime. Petroleum product sales averaged 446,000 barrels per day.Imperial has updated its refinery throughput and refinery utilization guidance ranges for 2026 from 395,000 – 405,000 barrels per day and 91% – 93% utilization to 370,000 – 380,000 barrels per day and 85% – 88% utilization, to reflect unplanned downtime, and a short-term rail logistic challenge at Strathcona which is targeted to be resolved by year end.During the quarter, Imperial returned $421 million to shareholders through dividend payments and declared a third quarter dividend of 87 cents per share. In June, Imperial renewed its annual normal course issuer bid (NCIB) program allowing the repurchase of up to five percent of its outstanding shares over a 12-month period.“Having safely completed our heaviest planned turnaround quarter, we anticipate strong volumes and overall performance in the second half of 2026 across our integrated business, supporting robust free cash flow1 generation,” said John Whelan. “Consistent with my confidence in that outlook, I am pleased to announce our plan to accelerate our NCIB share repurchases with a target of completing the program prior to year end.”Second quarter highlightsNet income of $2,190 million or $4.52 per share on a diluted basis, up from $949 million or $1.86 per share in the second quarter of 2025.Cash flows from operating activities of $2,704 million, up from cash flows from operating activities of $1,465 million in the second quarter of 2025. Cash flows from operating activities excluding working capital1 of $2,522 million, up from $1,413 million in the second quarter of 2025.Capital and exploration expenditures totaled $531 million, up from $473 million in the second quarter of 2025.The company returned $421 million to shareholders in the second quarter of 2026 through dividends paid.Renewed share repurchase program, enabling the purchase of up to five percent of common shares outstanding, a maximum of 24,179,635 shares, during the 12-month period commencing June 29, 2026. Consistent with the company’s commitment to return surplus cash to shareholders, Imperial plans to accelerate its share purchases under the NCIB program and anticipates repurchasing all remaining allowable shares prior to year end. Purchase plans may be modified at any time without prior notice.Upstream production averaged 414,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day, compared to 427,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025, due to lower volumes at Kearl and Syncrude.Total gross bitumen production at Kearl averaged 257,000 barrels per day (182,000 barrels Imperial’s share), compared to 275,000 barrels per day (195,000 barrels Imperial’s share) in the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the absence of exceptional high-quality ore grade.Gross bitumen production at Cold Lake averaged 149,000 barrels per day, up from 145,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025.The company’s share of gross production from Syncrude averaged 73,000 barrels per day, compared to 77,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by extreme rainfall, partially offset by lower unplanned downtime.Refinery throughput averaged 331,000 barrels per day, compared to 376,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025. Capacity utilization was 76 percent, compared to 87 percent in the second quarter of 2025. Lower refinery throughput and capacity utilization were primarily due to planned turnaround work at the Strathcona refinery.Petroleum product sales were 446,000 barrels per day, compared to 480,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025, aligned with lower throughput related to planned turnaround work at the Strathcona refinery.Chemical net income of $65 million in the quarter, up from $21 million in the second quarter of 2025.Subsequent to the quarter, a non-binding trilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta and the Oil Sands Alliance member companies. The trilateral MOU contemplates a series of regulatory reforms and fiscal measures designed to enhance oil sands competitiveness and support production growth. Advancing the proposed Pathways Project as outlined in the trilateral MOU is subject to, among other things, execution of definitive agreements and regulatory approvals.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Recent business environmentDuring the second quarter of 2026, the price of crude oil increased relative to the first quarter of 2026, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread widened slightly. Geopolitical events in the Middle East and increasing supply uncertainty continued to drive volatility in crude oil prices and heavy crude differentials. Industry refining margins improved in the second quarter of 2026, impacted by global product supply disruptions.Starting in 2025, the United States implemented and adjusted a variety of trade-related measures, including tariffs on certain imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Based on Imperial’s assessment of these actions and their effects to date, the company does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.2026 vs. second quarter 2025Second Quartermillions of Canadian dollars, unless noted20262025Net income (loss) (U.S. GAAP)2,190949Net income (loss) per common share, assuming dilution (dollars)4.521.86UpstreamNet income (loss) factor analysismillions of Canadian dollars2025PriceVolumeRoyaltyOther20266641,010(120)(220)(35)1,299Price – Average bitumen realizations increased by $29.97 per barrel, primarily driven by higher marker prices, partially offset by a weaker WTI/WCS spread and higher diluent costs.

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 capitalCash 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.Reconciliation of cash flows from (used in) operating activities excluding working capitalSecond QuarterSix Monthsmillions of Canadian dollars2026202520262025From Imperial’s Consolidated statement of cash flowsCash flows from (used in) operating activities2,7041,4653,4602,992Less changes in working capitalChanges in operating assets and liabilities18252(301)(181)Cash flows from (used in) operating activities excl. working capital2,5221,4133,7613,173Free 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.Reconciliation of free cash flowSecond QuarterSix Monthsmillions of Canadian dollars2026202520262025From Imperial’s Consolidated statement of cash flowsCash flows from (used in) operating activities2,7041,4653,4602,992Cash flows from (used in) investing activitiesAdditions to property, plant and equipment(530)(471)(1,005)(869)Proceeds from asset sales5826713Additional investments—(4)—(4)Loans to equity companies – net211811Free cash flow2,2349932,5402,143Net income (loss) excluding identified itemsNet 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. Net income (loss) excluding identified items per common share is a non-GAAP ratio which is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) excluding identified items by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution. 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 periods or several segments. Net income (loss) excluding identified items does include non-operational earnings events or impacts that are generally below the $100 million threshold utilized for identified items. 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 itemsThere were no identified items in the second quarter or year-to-date 2026 and 2025 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.Reconciliation of cash operating costsSecond QuarterSix Monthsmillions of Canadian dollars2026202520262025From Imperial’s Consolidated statement of incomeTotal expenses13,2029,98824,41620,817Less:Purchases of crude oil and products10,6417,21518,81914,971Federal excise taxes and fuel charge70372418964Depreciation and depletion (includes impairments)5114781,0311,009Non-service pension and postretirement benefit26511Financing14225—Cash operating costs1,9641,9154,1183,862Components of cash operating costsSecond QuarterSix Monthsmillions of Canadian dollars2026202520262025From Imperial’s Consolidated statement of incomeProduction and manufacturing1,8191,6643,5733,350Selling and general144251541510Exploration1—42Cash operating costs1,9641,9154,1183,862Segment contributions to total cash operating costsSecond QuarterSix Monthsmillions of Canadian dollars2026202520262025Upstream1,2211,1272,4602,305Downstream7376411,3801,272Chemicals7382147155Eliminations / Corporate and other(67)65131130Cash operating costs1,9641,9154,1183,862Unit cash operating costs (unit cash costs)Unit cash operating costs is a non-GAAP ratio.

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.Components of unit cash operating costsSecond Quarter20262025millions of Canadian dollarsUpstream (a)KearlCold LakeSyncrudeUpstream (a)KearlCold LakeSyncrudeProduction and manufacturing1,2204942903841,127465272329Selling and general————————Exploration1———————Cash operating costs1,2214942903841,127465272329Gross oil-equivalent production4141821497342719514577(thousands of barrels per day)Unit cash operating cost ($/oeb)32.4129.8321.3957.8129.0026.2020.6146.95USD converted at the quarterly average forex 2026 US$0.72; 2025 US$0.7223.3421.4815.4041.6220.8818.8614.8433.80Components of unit cash operating costsSix Months20262025millions of Canadian dollarsUpstream (a)Kearl Cold Lake SyncrudeUpstream (a)KearlCold LakeSyncrudeProduction and manufacturing2,4569815697972,303949557682Selling and general————————Exploration4———2———Cash operating costs2,4609815697972,305949557682Gross oil-equivalent production4171831527342318915075(thousands of barrels per day)Unit cash operating cost ($/oeb)32.5929.6220.6860.3230.1127.7420.5250.24USD converted at the YTD average forex 2026 US$0.73; 2025 US$0.7123.7921.6215.1044.0321.3819.7014.5735.67(a)Upstream includes Imperial’s share of Kearl, Cold Lake, Syncrude and other.1 Non-GAAP financial measure – see Attachment VI for definition and reconciliationAfter more than a century, Imperial continues to be an industry leader in applying technology and innovation to responsibly develop Canada’s energy resources.
