The common-size income statement reveals several noteworthy trends over the five-year period. Revenues and other income consistently represent over 100% of sales and other operating revenues, indicating contributions from sources beyond core sales. A significant fluctuation is observed in profitability metrics, particularly net income, with a peak in 2022 followed by a decline through 2025. Cost of goods sold, represented by purchased crude oil and products, remains a substantial portion of revenue, consistently around -60% of sales, though with some variation.

Revenue Composition
Income from equity affiliates demonstrates a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 3.64% of sales in 2021 to 1.63% in 2025. Other income (loss) exhibits volatility, moving from a positive 0.77% in 2021 to a negative -0.56% in 2023 before recovering to 0.87% in 2025. These fluctuations suggest a changing contribution from non-core revenue streams.
Cost Structure
Purchased crude oil and products, the largest expense, decreased from -57.43% of sales in 2021 to -58.67% in 2025, with a peak of -61.69% in 2022. Operating expenses also show a general increase, rising from -10.48% to -15.18% over the period, indicating growing administrative and operational costs. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased steadily from -6.92% to -10.92%.
Profitability Analysis
Operating income peaked at 21.42% of sales in 2022 before declining to 11.53% in 2025. This decline is mirrored in net income attributable to Chevron Corporation, which decreased from 15.05% in 2022 to 6.67% in 2025. The income tax expense as a percentage of sales also decreased from -5.97% to -3.94% over the same period, potentially mitigating some of the impact of lower pre-tax income. Interest and debt expense remained relatively stable until 2025, when it increased to -0.66% of sales.
Expense Trends
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased consistently from -1.83% to -2.78% of sales. Exploration expenses also showed a steady increase, albeit from a smaller base, moving from -0.41% to -0.57%. Taxes other than on income also increased from -1.71% to -2.84%.

Overall, the period demonstrates a shift from strong profitability in 2022 to a more moderate performance by 2025. This is driven by a combination of declining income from equity affiliates, increasing operating expenses, and a decrease in operating income. While the cost of purchased crude oil and products remained substantial, its percentage of sales did not increase significantly, suggesting that other factors were more influential in the observed profitability trends.
