Segment profit margins exhibited varied performance across the reporting periods. Significant fluctuations were observed within each segment, indicating sensitivity to external market conditions and internal operational factors. Overall, a declining trend in profitability is apparent when considering the aggregate performance of the segments from 2023 through 2025.

Upstream
The Upstream segment demonstrated strong profitability in the initial periods, with margins peaking at 83.32% in 2023. However, a substantial decline is evident in subsequent years, falling to 54.21% by 2025. This represents a considerable erosion of profitability within this segment, potentially attributable to shifts in commodity pricing or increased production costs. The initial increase from 72.37% in 2021 to 80.77% in 2022 suggests a favorable operating environment in those years.
Energy Products
The Energy Products segment experienced a notable turnaround from a loss of -0.17% in 2021 to a peak margin of 4.89% in 2022. While margins remained positive in 2023 and 2024, they decreased to 1.55% and 3.04% respectively. This segment’s performance appears more volatile than others, suggesting a greater susceptibility to fluctuations in refining margins or product demand.
Chemical Products
The Chemical Products segment began with a relatively high margin of 24.41% in 2021, but experienced a consistent decline through 2023, reaching 7.35%. A modest recovery to 11.26% occurred in 2024, followed by a further decrease to 3.60% in 2025. This pattern suggests challenges in maintaining profitability within the chemical sector, potentially due to increased feedstock costs or competitive pressures.
Specialty Products
The Specialty Products segment exhibited the most stable performance of the four segments. Margins fluctuated between 12.15% and 18.80% during the period, with a slight upward trend from 2022 to 2024, peaking at 16.72%. A minor decrease to 16.08% was observed in 2025. This relative stability may indicate a more resilient business model or a differentiated product offering.

In summary, while the Upstream segment initially drove overall profitability, its subsequent decline significantly impacted the aggregate performance. The Energy Products and Chemical Products segments demonstrated volatility and decreasing margins, while Specialty Products maintained a comparatively stable, albeit moderate, level of profitability.

1 2025 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Segment net income (loss) ÷ Sales and other operating revenue
= 100 × 21,354 ÷ 39,389 = 54.21%


The segment net income exhibited substantial volatility over the observed period. Initial growth was followed by a decline, indicating fluctuating profitability within the segment. Sales and other operating revenue also demonstrated a pattern of increase followed by a decrease, though less pronounced than the net income fluctuations. The segment profit margin, calculated from these figures, reveals a corresponding trend of initial expansion, peak performance, and subsequent contraction.

Segment Net Income
Segment net income increased significantly from $15,775 million in 2021 to $36,479 million in 2022. This represents a substantial year-over-year increase. However, income decreased to $21,308 million in 2023, before partially recovering to $25,390 million in 2024. A further decrease to $21,354 million was observed in 2025, suggesting a return to levels comparable to those seen in 2023.
Sales and Other Operating Revenue
Sales and other operating revenue mirrored the net income trend, increasing from $21,797 million in 2021 to $45,164 million in 2022. Revenue then decreased to $25,574 million in 2023, followed by an increase to $37,131 million in 2024. Revenue continued to rise, reaching $39,389 million in 2025, though the rate of increase slowed compared to the 2021-2022 period.
Segment Profit Margin
The segment profit margin increased from 72.37% in 2021 to a peak of 83.32% in 2023. This indicates improving efficiency in converting revenue to profit during this period. However, the margin declined significantly to 68.38% in 2024 and further decreased to 54.21% in 2025. This substantial decrease suggests increasing costs or pricing pressures impacting profitability, despite the revenue increase in 2025.

The observed trends suggest a period of strong performance in 2022 and 2023, followed by a weakening of profitability in 2024 and 2025. While revenue continued to increase in the latter years, the declining profit margin indicates that the segment is becoming less efficient at generating profit from each dollar of revenue. Further investigation into the cost structure and pricing dynamics would be necessary to understand the drivers behind this margin compression.

1 2025 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Segment net income (loss) ÷ Sales and other operating revenue
= 100 × 7,423 ÷ 244,451 = 3.04%


The segment net income for Energy Products demonstrated significant volatility over the observed period. Initially reporting a loss in 2021, the segment experienced substantial growth in profitability through 2022 and 2023, followed by a marked decline in 2024, and a partial recovery in 2025.

Sales and other operating revenue exhibited an initial increase from 2021 to 2022, then decreased over the subsequent three years, indicating a potential shift in market conditions or internal strategic adjustments.

Segment Profit Margin
The segment profit margin mirrored the fluctuations in net income. In 2021, the margin was negative at -0.17%, reflecting the reported loss. A substantial improvement was observed in 2022, reaching 4.89%, and remained relatively high at 4.52% in 2023. A significant decrease to 1.55% occurred in 2024, suggesting increased cost pressures or reduced pricing power. The margin partially recovered to 3.04% in 2025, but remained below the levels seen in 2022 and 2023.

The correlation between sales revenue and segment net income suggests a strong relationship between revenue generation and profitability within this segment. However, the declining revenue trend from 2022 to 2025, coupled with the volatility in profit margin, indicates that factors beyond revenue volume, such as cost management and pricing strategies, are significantly impacting the segment’s financial performance.

The substantial increase in segment net income and profit margin between 2021 and 2022 warrants further investigation to understand the drivers of this improvement. Similarly, the sharp decline in 2024 requires analysis to identify the contributing factors and assess the sustainability of the 2025 recovery.

1 2025 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Segment net income (loss) ÷ Sales and other operating revenue
= 100 × 800 ÷ 22,209 = 3.60%


The financial performance of the Chemical Products segment demonstrates a significant decline in profitability over the analyzed period. Segment net income decreased substantially from 2021 to 2023, followed by a partial recovery in 2024 before declining again in 2025. Simultaneously, sales and other operating revenue experienced a decrease from 2021 to 2023, showing modest growth in 2024, and then a slight decrease in 2025.

Segment Profit Margin
The segment profit margin exhibited a pronounced downward trend. Starting at 24.41% in 2021, it decreased to 12.83% in 2022, and further to 7.35% in 2023. A modest recovery was observed in 2024, with the margin increasing to 11.26%, but this was followed by a substantial decline to 3.60% in 2025. This indicates a weakening ability to translate revenue into profit within the segment.

The decline in segment net income is not fully proportional to the decrease in sales and other operating revenue, suggesting that factors beyond revenue volume, such as cost pressures or pricing dynamics, are significantly impacting profitability. The recovery in 2024 was insufficient to restore margins to previous levels, and the subsequent drop in 2025 highlights ongoing challenges. Further investigation into the cost structure and competitive landscape of the Chemical Products segment is warranted to understand the drivers behind these trends.

The consistent decrease in segment profit margin, particularly the sharp decline in 2025, is a key area of concern. The segment’s ability to generate profits has diminished considerably, and the trend suggests potential underlying issues that require attention. The relatively stable revenue figures in the later years, coupled with declining profitability, reinforce the need to analyze cost management and pricing strategies within this segment.

The segment net income for Specialty Products demonstrated variability over the five-year period. Initial values decreased before stabilizing and showing modest fluctuations. Sales and other operating revenue exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline, ultimately settling near the beginning value. The segment profit margin mirrored the net income trend, initially decreasing, then recovering and stabilizing.

Segment Net Income
Segment net income began at US$3,259 million in 2021, decreased to US$2,415 million in 2022, and then increased to US$2,714 million in 2023. Further growth was observed in 2024, reaching US$3,052 million, before a slight decrease to US$2,857 million in 2025. This indicates a period of initial weakness followed by recovery, with recent performance remaining below the 2021 level.
Sales and Other Operating Revenue
Sales and other operating revenue increased from US$17,331 million in 2021 to US$19,879 million in 2022. Subsequently, revenue decreased to US$18,407 million in 2023, and continued to decline to US$18,253 million in 2024. By 2025, revenue reached US$17,771 million, representing a return towards the initial 2021 value. This suggests a peak in revenue in 2022 followed by a consistent downward trend.
Segment Profit Margin
The segment profit margin experienced a significant decrease from 18.80% in 2021 to 12.15% in 2022, coinciding with the decrease in segment net income. A recovery was then observed, with the margin increasing to 14.74% in 2023 and 16.72% in 2024. The margin stabilized at 16.08% in 2025. This indicates a strong correlation between revenue and profitability, with margin improvements following revenue stabilization.

Overall, the Specialty Products segment experienced a period of volatility between 2021 and 2025. While net income and revenue have shown signs of recovery from initial declines, they have not returned to their 2021 levels. The segment profit margin has demonstrated resilience, recovering to a level comparable to its initial value despite fluctuations in revenue and net income.

Segment return on assets exhibited varied performance across the reporting periods. Overall, the segment returns demonstrate cyclicality, influenced by commodity price fluctuations and operational efficiencies. A notable divergence in performance is observed between the segments, with Specialty Products consistently demonstrating the highest returns, while Energy Products experienced more volatility.

Upstream
The Upstream segment experienced a significant increase in return on assets from 2021 to 2022, rising from 7.54% to 17.67%. This was followed by a decline in 2023 to 10.33%, and a continued downward trend through 2025, reaching 7.43%. This suggests a sensitivity to changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, with the initial increase likely benefiting from favorable market conditions, and subsequent declines reflecting price corrections or increased production costs.
Energy Products
The Energy Products segment showed substantial volatility. Beginning at -0.54% in 2021, it experienced a dramatic improvement to 20.34% in 2022. Returns then decreased to 16.31% in 2023 and further to 5.34% in 2024, before partially recovering to 9.29% in 2025. This pattern indicates a strong correlation with refining margins and demand for petroleum products, potentially impacted by economic cycles and geopolitical events.
Chemical Products
The Chemical Products segment demonstrated a decreasing trend in return on assets. Starting at a high of 22.36% in 2021, returns declined steadily to 10.67% in 2022, 4.72% in 2023, 7.33% in 2024, and further to 2.26% in 2025. This suggests increasing competitive pressures, rising feedstock costs, or a slowdown in demand for chemical products. The brief increase in 2024 may indicate a temporary improvement in market conditions or operational adjustments.
Specialty Products
The Specialty Products segment consistently generated the highest returns among the reported segments. Returns remained strong throughout the period, beginning at 29.88% in 2021, decreasing to 21.65% in 2022, then increasing to 24.67% in 2023 and 27.94% in 2024, before settling at 26.02% in 2025. This indicates a resilient business model with strong pricing power and consistent demand for its specialized offerings.

The observed trends suggest that segment profitability is not uniform and is subject to external market forces. The Specialty Products segment appears to be the most stable and profitable, while the Upstream and Energy Products segments are more sensitive to commodity price fluctuations. The Chemical Products segment faces increasing challenges, as evidenced by its declining returns.

1 2025 Calculation
Segment ROA = 100 × Segment net income (loss) ÷ Total assets
= 100 × 21,354 ÷ 287,571 = 7.43%


The Upstream segment demonstrated significant fluctuations in financial performance between 2021 and 2025. Segment net income exhibited substantial growth initially, followed by a period of decline and stabilization. Total assets increased considerably over the period, with a notable jump in 2024. Consequently, Segment Return on Assets (ROA) mirrored these trends, peaking in 2022 before decreasing through 2025.

Segment Net Income
Segment net income increased markedly from US$15,775 million in 2021 to US$36,479 million in 2022, representing a substantial year-over-year gain. This was followed by a decrease to US$21,308 million in 2023. A moderate recovery occurred in 2024, with net income reaching US$25,390 million, but this was followed by a slight decline to US$21,354 million in 2025. The 2025 figure is comparable to the 2023 level, suggesting a stabilization of earnings after the initial surge and subsequent correction.
Total Assets
Total assets remained relatively stable between 2021 and 2023, fluctuating around US$206-209 billion. A significant increase was observed in 2024, with total assets rising to US$289,523 million. This increase continued, albeit at a slower pace, in 2025, reaching US$287,571 million. The substantial asset growth in 2024 likely reflects investment in the segment’s operations.
Segment ROA
Segment ROA increased significantly from 7.54% in 2021 to 17.67% in 2022, driven by the substantial increase in segment net income. The ROA then decreased to 10.33% in 2023, mirroring the decline in net income. Further decreases were observed in 2024 (8.77%) and 2025 (7.43%). The declining ROA from 2022 to 2025 suggests that while net income remained positive, it did not grow at the same rate as total assets, indicating diminishing returns on the increased asset base. The 2025 ROA is approaching the level observed in 2021.

The interplay between net income and asset growth suggests a changing dynamic within the Upstream segment. While initial gains were strong, the subsequent increase in assets without a proportional increase in net income resulted in a declining ROA. Continued monitoring of these trends will be important to assess the long-term profitability and efficiency of the segment.

The segment performance of Energy Products demonstrates significant volatility over the observed five-year period. Initially, the segment experienced a net loss, followed by substantial gains, and then a period of declining, but ultimately recovering, profitability. This is reflected in the segment’s Return on Assets (ROA).

Segment Net Income (Loss)
In 2021, the segment reported a net loss of US$346 million. This was followed by a dramatic increase in net income to US$14,966 million in 2022. While remaining positive, net income decreased to US$12,142 million in 2023, and then further to US$4,033 million in 2024. A recovery is observed in 2025, with net income rising to US$7,423 million.
Total Assets
Total assets within the Energy Products segment exhibited a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Beginning at US$64,630 million in 2021, assets increased to US$73,565 million in 2022, US$74,460 million in 2023, US$75,542 million in 2024, and reached US$79,917 million in 2025. The rate of asset growth appears to moderate over time.
Segment ROA
The segment ROA mirrored the fluctuations in net income. In 2021, the ROA was negative at -0.54%. A substantial improvement occurred in 2022, with the ROA reaching 20.34%. The ROA then decreased to 16.31% in 2023 and further declined to 5.34% in 2024. A partial recovery is evident in 2025, with the ROA increasing to 9.29%. The ROA demonstrates a strong correlation with the segment’s net income, indicating that profitability is a primary driver of asset utilization efficiency.

The observed trends suggest that the Energy Products segment’s profitability is sensitive to external factors. While asset growth is consistent, the significant swings in net income and ROA indicate potential vulnerability to market conditions or internal operational changes. The recovery in 2025 suggests a potential stabilization, but continued monitoring is warranted.

The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio for Chemical Products demonstrates a fluctuating pattern over the five-year period. Initial values are relatively high, followed by a decline towards parity with depreciation expense.

Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment
Additions to property, plant and equipment increased significantly from $1,250 million in 2021 to $2,718 million in 2022. Subsequent years show a decreasing trend, with values of $2,375 million in 2023, $1,635 million in 2024, and $1,322 million in 2025. This suggests a peak in investment during 2022, followed by a moderation of capital spending.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation and depletion experienced a moderate increase from $955 million in 2021 to $988 million in 2022. It then rose more substantially to $1,311 million in 2023 before decreasing to $1,096 million in 2024. A further increase is observed in 2025, reaching $1,355 million. This pattern indicates a growing asset base requiring increased depreciation, with some fluctuation year-over-year.
Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio
The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio began at 1.31 in 2021, indicating that capital expenditures exceeded depreciation expense by 31%. This ratio increased substantially to 2.75 in 2022, suggesting a significant investment in new assets relative to the depreciation of existing assets. The ratio then decreased to 1.81 in 2023 and further to 1.49 in 2024, indicating a narrowing gap between capital expenditures and depreciation. By 2025, the ratio reached 0.98, signifying that depreciation expense nearly equaled capital expenditures. This trend suggests a shift from a period of substantial investment to a phase where investments are more aligned with maintaining the existing asset base.

The decreasing trend in the ratio from 2022 to 2025 warrants attention. While continued investment is occurring, the relative magnitude compared to depreciation is diminishing. This could indicate a strategic shift towards maximizing the utilization of existing assets or a change in investment priorities within the Chemical Products segment.
