The full corrected version is shown below. Atlantic Richfield Company US GAAP Results 1st Quarter 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARCO ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME OF $617 MILLION =========================================================================== o ARCO acquisition by BP Amoco completed. o First quarter 2000 net income was $583 million, after adjusting for special items of $34 million, this represents an increase of 239% on a year ago. o Excellent progress on cost reductions. ARCO, which was acquired by BP Amoco on 18 April, 2000, had first quarter net income of $617 million, or $1.87 per diluted share. In the 1999 first quarter, ARCO earned $165 million, or 51 cents per diluted share. Excluding special items, first quarter 2000 income from operations totalled $583 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, up from $172 million, or 53 cents per diluted share, in the 1999 first quarter. Special items in the 2000 first quarter included gains on asset sales partially offset by accruals for litigation, environmental and merger-related costs. Adjusting for the earnings from the Exploration and Production Alaskan assets that have now been sold to Phillips Petroleum, the first quarter income from operations, before special items, was $333 million or $1.01 per diluted share which compares with $141 million or $0.43 per diluted share last year. There were no special items relating to Alaska in either quarter. Increased crude oil and US natural gas prices offset production declines in the first quarter while ARCO's West Coast refining and marketing continued its strong performance despite higher feedstock prices resulting in lower margins compared with the first quarter 1999. Cost Reduction Programme ARCO launched an aggressive cost reduction programme, in October 1998, to reduce yearly before-tax expenses by $500 million in the year 2000. ARCO has now fully delivered on this target, the results of which are reflected in this quarter's results. Exploration and Production Higher commodity prices and operating cost reductions resulted in ARCO's worldwide Exploration and Production operations earning $543 million after tax and before special items in the first quarter, up from $89 million after tax in the first quarter of 1999. Special items in the quarter were gains on asset dispositions of $58 million after tax. Excluding the Alaska assets, ARCO's remaining worldwide upstream assets earned $293 million after tax and before special items, in the first quarter of this year compared with $58 million in the corresponding period last year. US petroleum liquids realizations averaged $21.28 per barrel for the quarter compared with $7.17 per barrel last year. US natural gas prices averaged $2.18 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) up from $1.60 per mcf last year. On the international side, average liquid realizations were $22.08 per barrel, compared with $9.16 per barrel last year while average natural gas realizations were $2.36 per mcf, compared to $2.47 per mcf last year. Worldwide oil and natural gas production averaged 1,009 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, down 9% from last year's first quarter level of 1,104 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. Asset sales, production sharing contract effects, and anticipated field declines contributed to the reduced production levels. Liquids production for the quarter totalled 589 thousand barrels per day (mbd) compared to 672 mbd for the same period last year, while natural gas production totalled 2,520 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) compared to 2,588 mmcfd last year. Excluding the Alaska assets, liquids production for the quarter totalled 281,000 barrels per day (mbd), compared to 327 mbd for the same period last year. Quarterly exploration expenses increased to $100 million from $74 million last year. Increased dry hole expenses due to an unsuccessful deepwater well drilled by Vastar Resources, Inc., (NYSE: VRI), were partially offset by reduced exploration expenses in the company's international operations. ARCO holds an 81.9% interest in Vastar, which previously announced its third consecutive quarterly earnings record. Refining and Marketing ARCO's refining and marketing operations earned $93 million after tax and before special items in the quarter, compared to $131 million after tax in the first quarter of 1999. Reduced integrated light product margins coupled with expenses from turnaround activity at the Los Angeles Refinery accounted for the reduction from last year. A special item charge of $23 million, primarily a result of estimated costs for the Unocal patent suit, resulted in net earnings of $70 million for the quarter, down from $129 million in the first quarter of 1999. Other Operations Other operations, primarily the lower 48 pipeline and aluminium business, contributed $14 million as compared to $24 million in the prior year. Reduced volumes impacted both pipeline and aluminium during the quarter. Unallocated expenses contributed $12 million before special items as compared to the previous year's loss of $2 million before special items. Continued realization of cost reduction activities along with insurance and tax benefits drove the improvement in this area.
