Imperial reported estimated net income in the first quarter of $940 million, up from net income of $492 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the absence of identified items 1 and by higher prices, partially offset by lower volumes. Excluding identified items 1, estimated net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $968 million.
Quarterly cash flows from operating activities were $756 million, compared to $1,918 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding the impact of working capital 1, cash flows from operating activities were $1,239 million, compared to $1,260 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
"Against a backdrop of significant volatility in global commodity markets, we remain committed to our long-standing corporate strategy of maximizing the value of our existing assets while progressing advantaged growth opportunities," said John Whelan, chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Upstream production in the quarter averaged 419,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day. At Kearl, quarterly total gross production averaged 259,000 barrels per day (183,000 barrels Imperial's share) including the impact of a third-party natural gas supply outage. Cold Lake averaged 155,000 barrels per day with continued strong solvent-assisted SAGD performance from its advantaged production at Grand Rapids. The company's share of Syncrude production in the quarter averaged 72,000 gross barrels per day, and was impacted by unplanned coker downtime.
Downstream throughput in the quarter averaged 384,000 barrels per day, resulting in refinery capacity utilization of 88 percent. Throughput was impacted by unplanned downtime and a disruption of synthetic crude feedstock caused by Syncrude's coker outage. Petroleum product sales averaged 441,000 barrels per day.
During the quarter, Imperial returned $350 million to shareholders through dividend payments and declared a second quarter dividend of 87 cents per share.
"Our competitive advantages of scale and a long-standing commitment to technology and innovation continue to support our corporate strategy and advantaged integrated business model. I am confident in our ability to generate superior cash flow, underpinning our reliable and growing dividend and our industry-leading share buyback program," said Whelan.
First quarter highlights
Recent business environment
During the first quarter of 2026, the price of crude oil increased relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, while the Canadian WTI/WCS spread widened. 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 first quarter of 2026, impacted by industry supply outages.
During 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.

Price – Average bitumen realizations decreased by $7.10 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker WTI/WCS spread. Synthetic crude oil realizations decreased by $2.66 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker Synthetic/WTI spread.
Volume – Inventory impacts partially offset by higher production.
Other – Primarily due to unfavourable foreign exchange impacts of about $100 million.

Attachment VI
Non-GAAP financial measures and other specified financial measures
Certain measures included in this document are not prescribed by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). 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 capital
Cash 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.

Free cash flow
Free 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.

Net income (loss) excluding identified items
Net 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 items
There were no identified items in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, net income was $492 million. Results included identified items related to impairments of $264 million after-tax ($348 million before-tax) and other of $212 million after-tax ($279 million before-tax). Excluding identified items, net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $968 million.
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.

Unit cash operating costs (unit cash costs)
Unit cash operating costs is a non-GAAP ratio. Unit cash operating costs (unit cash costs) is calculated by dividing cash operating costs by total gross oil-equivalent production, and is calculated for the Upstream segment, as well as the major Upstream assets. 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.
