Cautionary StatementForward-Looking Statements. Outlooks, forecasts, estimates, targets, business plans, and other statements of future events or conditions in this presentation or the subsequent discussion period are forward-looking statements. Actual future results, including financial and operating performance; demand growth and mix; ExxonMobil’s production growth and mix; the amount and mix of capital expenditures; future distributions; resource additions and recoveries; finding and development costs; project plans, timing, costs, and capacities; drilling programs; product sales and mix; corporate and financing expenses; and the impact of technology could differ materially due to a number of factors. These include changes in oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries; reservoir performance; the outcome of exploration; timely completion of development projects; war and other political or security disturbances; changes in law or government regulation, including tax and environmental regulations; the outcome of commercial negotiations; the actions of competitors and customers; unexpected technological developments; the occurrence and duration of economic recessions; unforeseen technical difficulties; and other factors discussed here and under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" in the Investors section of our Web site at exxonmobil.com. See also Item 1A of ExxonMobil’s 2012 Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s knowledge and reasonable expectations on the date hereof, and we assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

Frequently Used Terms. References to barrels of oil or bitumen and similar terms include quantities of oil and gas that are not yet classified as proved reserves under SEC definitions but that we believe will likely be developed and moved into the proved reserves category in the future. For definitions and more information regarding resources, reserves, return on average capital employed, cash flow from operations and asset sales, and other terms used in this presentation, including information required by SEC Regulation G, see the "Frequently Used Terms" posted on the Investors section of our Web site. The Financial and Operating Review on our Web site also shows ExxonMobil's net interest in specific projects.

The term “project” as used in this presentation does not necessarily have the same meaning as under SEC Rule 13q-1 relating to government payment reporting. For example, a single project for purposes of the rule may encompass numerous properties, agreements, investments, developments, phases, work efforts, activities and components, each of which we may also informally describe herein as a “project.”
