                 FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS 1994

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1994.
- -------------------------------------------------
     WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 25 - Texaco announced today that consolidated
worldwide net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1994 
was $281 million, or $.98 per share, compared with $317 million, or $1.13 per 
share, for the third quarter of 1993.  Net income from continuing operations 
for the first nine months of 1994 was $598 million, or $2.02 per share, 
compared with $910 million, or $3.22 per share, for the first nine months 
of 1993.

Third Quarter Nine Months --------------------- -------------------- Texaco Inc. (Millions): 1994 1993 1994 1993 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Net income from continuing operations before special items $ 270 $ 255 $ 627 $ 848 Special charges and credits 3 (83) (116) (83) Tax benefits on asset sale 8 145 87 145 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total net income from continuing operations 281 317 598 910 Discontinued chemical operations: Loss from operations - (11) - (17) Loss on disposal of business - (164) (87) (164) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total net income $ 281 $ 142 $ 511 $ 729 _______________________________________________________________________________________________
In commenting on 1994's results Alfred C. DeCrane, Jr., Texaco's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The third quarter results reflect solid benefits over last year from improved operating performance and expense containment efforts. Higher international crude oil production, higher natural gas production in the U.S. and the North Sea, coupled with higher worldwide crude prices were sufficient to offset the decline in natural gas prices, depressed downstream margins in the eastern half of the U.S. and in Europe, and refinery downtime in Pembroke, Wales, due to a July fire." - more - - 2 - Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1994 included a special charge of $20 million by an insurance subsidiary related to property damage from the fire at the Pembroke refinery, as well as a special gain of $23 million from the sale of an interest in a downstream joint venture in Sweden. Results for the nine months of 1994 also included net special charges of $119 million relating to staff reductions and write-down of certain assets being offered for sale in the company's program to consolidate activities and sell non-core assets. Nine months and third quarter of 1993 included special charges of $235 million related to staff reductions, write-down of assets and provisions for financial reserves, partly offset by $152 million of net deferred tax benefits principally arising from reduced tax rates in the United Kingdom. Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter and nine months of 1994 included $8 million and $87 million, respectively, of net tax benefits realizable through the sale of an interest in a subsidiary. Similar benefits of $145 million were recognized in 1993. Net income for the nine months of 1994 included a second quarter charge of $87 million for discontinued operations relating to the completion of the first phase of a transaction to sell substantially all of Texaco's worldwide chemical business. Comparatively, a charge of $164 million was recorded in the third quarter of 1993, reflecting the initial projected effects of these sales. Of the previously mentioned tax benefits on the sale of an interest in a subsidiary, $29 million and $145 million for the first nine months 1994 and 1993, respectively, were realizable due to the taxable gain on the sale of the chemical operations. Negotiations for the second phase of this sale, consisting of the lubricant additives business, are continuing. Capital and exploratory expenditures for continuing operations, including equity in such expenditures of affiliates, were $1,788 million for the first nine months of 1994, as compared to $1,887 million for the same period in 1993. Expenditures for the third quarter of 1994 amounted to $557 million versus $732 million for the same quarter in 1993. "Third quarter operating performance and financial results reflect the program for value growth and competitive improvement," DeCrane added. "Solid increases in international production, the initial benefits of reduced layers of supervision and a more focused exploration and development program all contributed to the improvement." - more - - 3 - ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL NET INCOME OPERATING EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS UNITED STATES
Third Quarter Nine Months ------------- --------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1994 1993 1994 1993 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 127 $ 138 $ 323 $ 434 Special charges - (38) (24) (38) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 127 $ 100 $ 299 $ 396 ___________________________________________________________________________________
Lower natural gas prices of $.33 per MCF in the 1994 third quarter adversely impacted comparative earnings. These lower natural gas prices more than offset the benefits from higher crude oil prices of $1.27 per barrel for the quarter. In spite of the gradually improving crude oil prices during 1994, nine months earnings were adversely impacted by the depressed prices early in this year, which resulted in comparatively lower crude oil prices of $1.80 per barrel. The company's results in 1994 benefitted from further reductions in operating expenses and added production from successful exploration and development programs. Special charges for 1994 provide for the estimated cost of announced employee separations. Special charges in 1993 included a deferred tax charge of $32 million due to the U.S. tax rate increase to 35 percent effective January 1, 1993, coupled with charges relating to staff reductions. - more - - 4 -
Third Quarter Nine Months ------------- --------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1994 1993 1994 1993 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 92 $ 97 $ 209 $ 206 Special charges - (91) (24) (91) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 92 $ 6 $ 185 $ 115 ___________________________________________________________________________________
Results for the comparative third quarter and nine month periods were essentially unchanged. Both periods benefitted from higher gasoline sales following the March 1994 successful introduction of Texaco's CleanSystem3 gasolines. In the western half of the U.S., third quarter 1994 earnings reflect improved performance at refineries partly offset by higher refinery feedstock costs. For the nine months, earnings in the western U.S. benefitted from both improved refinery performance plus lower average feedstock costs occurring in the first half of the year. These improvements were generally offset by decreased refinery margins in the East and Gulf coasts, particularly in the third quarter, reflecting feedstock costs that could not be fully recovered in the marketplace. Special charges for 1994 relate to the adjustment to fair market value of certain facilities to be offered for sale and the estimated cost of employee separations. Results for 1993 included special charges for staff reductions, environmental reserves and the U.S. tax rate increase.
INTERNATIONAL Third Quarter Nine Months ------------- --------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1994 1993 1994 1993 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 83 $ 15 $ 162 $ 176 Special charges and credits - 110 (16) 110 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 83 $ 125 $ 146 $ 286 ___________________________________________________________________________________
Results for the third quarter 1994 improved substantially over 1993 reflecting a combination of increased international production of both crude oil and natural gas mainly in the U.K. sector of the North Sea, lower exploratory expenses, and somewhat higher crude prices. For the comparative first nine months, earnings benefitted also from higher production, mainly in the North Sea and in Indonesia. However, generally lower crude oil prices prevailing in the first half of 1994 more than offset the benefit of increased production. - more - - 5 - The 1994 third quarter and nine months included non-cash charges of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, relating to the currency exchange impacts of the Pound Sterling on deferred income taxes. For 1993, such currency exchange impacts resulted in a charge of $2 million for the third quarter and a $4 million benefit for the nine months. Special charges for 1994 related to the adjustment to fair market value of certain facilities being offered for sale and the estimated cost of employee separations. The third quarter of 1993 included a benefit of $169 million relating to changes in the U.K. Petroleum Revenue Tax associated with the taxability of certain items, as well as a tax rate reduction from 75 percent to 50 percent. Special charges in 1993 related to staff reductions and the write-down of the carrying value of certain assets, principally in the North Sea, brought about by changes in the Petroleum Revenue Tax laws.
Third Quarter Nine Months ------------- --------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1994 1993 1994 1993 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 75 $ 103 $ 267 $ 344 Special charges and credits 23 (30) (15) (30) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 98 $ 73 $ 252 $ 314 ___________________________________________________________________________________
Results for both the third quarter and nine months of 1994 versus 1993 reflect the decline in marketing margins in Europe, as well as lower refining margins and unfavorable currency exchange effects in the Caltex operating areas. Also, earnings were comparatively lower due to downtime resulting from a fire at the Pembroke refinery. Partly offsetting these decreases were higher marketing margins and sales volumes in Latin America, mainly Brazil. The 1994 third quarter and nine months included non-cash charges of $8 million and $20 million, respectively, relating to the currency exchange impacts of the Pound Sterling on deferred income taxes. The third quarter of 1994 included a special gain of $23 million related to the sale of an interest in a downstream joint venture in Sweden. In addition to the gain in Sweden, the nine months of 1994 included special charges related to the estimated cost of employee separations, and the adjustment to fair market value of certain properties being offered for sale. The third quarter and nine months of 1993 included special charges related to staff reductions and the write-down in the carrying values of certain assets. - more - - 6 -

Results for the third quarter and nine months were principally impacted by reduced capitalization of interest expense due to project completions, which was partially offset by lower corporate overhead due to the company's ongoing expense reduction efforts. The 1994 results included $87 million of tax benefits realizable through the sale of an interest in a subsidiary of which $8 million was realized in the third quarter. In addition, $17 million of charges related to the estimated cost of employee separations were included in the nine month results. The third quarter and nine months 1993 included net tax benefits realizable through the sale of an interest in a subsidiary of $145 million. Special charges and credits in 1993 related mainly to staff reductions. CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES International upstream capital and exploratory expenditures declined for the comparative nine months and third quarter periods reflecting lower expenditures in the U.K. North Sea, where successful project completions have increased production of liquids and natural gas. Partly offsetting this decline for the comparative nine months were higher drilling and development activities in the United States, which began in the third quarter of 1993. - more - - 7 - Downstream international expenditures for the first nine months of 1994 increased as compared to the same period of 1993 reflecting investments by Texaco's affiliate, Caltex, in refinery construction and upgrade projects in Thailand and Singapore and increased marketing expenditures, as well as ongoing refinery upgrades in Panama and increased marketing expenditures in selected European and Latin American countries. These increases were partially offset by lower expenditures in the U.S. due to completion of refinery upgrade projects underway in 1993 by both Texaco and its affiliate, Star Enterprise, and lower marketing investments. - xxx - NOTE TO EDITORS: Tables for the third quarter and nine months are attached.
