Forward-Looking Statements. Outlooks, projections, estimates, targets, and business plans in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Actual future results, including demand growth and supply mix; resource recoveries; project plans; finding costs; efficiency improvements; and the impact of technology could differ materially due to a number of factors. These include changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil and gas industries; reservoir performance; timely completion of development projects; war and other political or security disturbances; changes in law or government regulation; the outcome of commercial negotiations; the actions of competitors; 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" on the Investor Information section of our website at www.exxonmobil.com.

Frequently Used Terms. References to resources, the resource base, oil equivalent barrels, and similar terms include quantities of oil and gas that are not yet classified as proved reserves but that we believe will likely be moved into the proved reserves category and produced in the future. Our discussions of reserves generally exclude the effects of year-end price/cost revisions and includes reserve attributable to equity companies and our Syncrude operations. For definitions and additional information regarding, reserves, return on capital employed, cash flow from operations and asset sales (also referred to as operating cash flow), and other terms used in this presentation, including information required by SEC Regulation G, see the "Frequently Used Terms“, quarterly 8-K filings regarding results of operations and financial condition, and other material posted on our website. The Financial and Operating Review on our website also shows ExxonMobil's net interest in specific projects.
