          FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND THE FIRST HALF 1995
          ----------------------------------------------

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1995.
- ------------------------------------------

    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 25  -  Texaco announced today that
consolidated worldwide net income from continuing operations for the
second quarter of 1995 was $262 million, or $0.95 per share, as compared
with $115 million, or $0.35 per share, for the second quarter of 1994.  
For the first half of 1995, net income from continuing operations was $563
million, or $2.05 per share, as compared with $317 million, or $1.04 per
share, for the first half of 1994.  Net income for both years includes
special items.

Second Quarter First Half ---------------- ---------------- Texaco Inc. (Millions): 1995 1994 1995 1994 _______________________________________________________________________ Net income from continuing operations before special items $262 $155 $475 $357 Gains from asset sales - - 88 - Tax benefits on asset sale - 79 - 79 Special charges - (119) - (119) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total net income from continuing operations 262 115 563 317 Loss on disposal of discontinued chemical operations - (87) - (87) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total net income $262 $ 28 $563 $230 ________________________________________________________________________
In commenting on 1995's performance, Alfred C. DeCrane, Jr., Texaco's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Improved operating performance, resulting from continued progress on key initiatives of our plan for growth, supplemented by increased worldwide crude oil prices were the main contributors to higher second quarter and first half 1995 earnings. "International production of oil and gas grew from both existing and new fields and continued improvements in our Latin American marketing businesses added to profits. In addition, operating and overhead expenses were reduced, especially in the U.S., as a result of sales of non-core producing assets, expense containment programs and focused technology applications. - more - - 2 - "These benefits, however, were dampened by lower U.S. natural gas prices. Also, while refining margins in the U.S. and Europe improved somewhat in the second quarter, margins were still weaker on a six-month comparative basis." First half net income from continuing operations for 1995 included first quarter gains of $88 million, principally relating to the sale of land by a Caltex Petroleum Corporation affiliate in Japan and to sales of non-core U.S. producing properties. The 1994 six months results from continuing operations included $79 million in tax benefits realizable through the sale of an interest in a subsidiary, as well as special charges of $119 million related to staff reductions and write-downs of assets being offered for sale. Net income for 1994 also reflected a second quarter charge of $87 million, or $0.34 per share, for discontinued operations relating to the sale of substantially all of Texaco's chemical business.

Second Quarter First Half ---------------- ---------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1995 1994 1995 1994 _____________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $170 $121 $305 $196 Gains from asset sales - - 8 - Special charges - (24) - (24) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total operating earnings $170 $ 97 $313 $172 _____________________________________________________________________________
The strong growth in earnings for both the comparative second quarter and first half of 1995 resulted from increased crude oil prices, which averaged $2.40 and $3.11 per barrel higher for the respective periods. These prices reflect, in part, a strong regional demand for heavy Californian crudes. Net income in 1995 also benefited from lower operating expenses. These expense reductions reflect the effects of technology applications and reduced overhead, including reductions associated with the sales of non-core producing properties. - more - - 3 - Partly offsetting these benefits were comparatively lower natural gas prices. Second quarter 1995 average natural gas prices were $.32 per MCF lower than 1994, while prices for the first half of 1995 were $.47 per MCF lower than 1994. Excluding the divested non-core assets, crude oil and natural gas production in 1995 was essentially equal to prior year production levels. This reflects success in adding new production, most notably along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Results for 1995 included a first quarter net gain of $8 million from non-core producing property sales, after certain write-downs of properties being held for sale and reserves for environmental remediation on these properties which totaled $112 million. Second quarter 1994 results included charges relating to the cost associated with employee separations.
Second Quarter First Half ---------------- ---------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1995 1994 1995 1994 _________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 28 $ 39 $ 9 $117 Special charges - (24) - (24) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total operating earnings $ 28 $ 15 $ 9 $ 93 _________________________________________________________________________________
During the second quarter of 1995, earnings improved over the first quarter, but were still below the level experienced in the second quarter of 1994. Comparatively, second quarter 1995 versus 1994 margins on the East and Gulf Coasts improved despite higher crude costs. These margins reflect increased demand and temporary product supply tightening created by the Brazilian Oil Workers strike, as well as lower industry-wide refinery utilization rates during the latter part of the period. Margins on the West Coast, however, were weaker due to higher crude oil costs and a general oversupply of products caused partly by industry-wide refinery utilization rates on the West Coast, which reached a five-year high in 1995. Earnings for the first half of 1995 decreased as compared to the same period in 1994. Continuing improvements in operating performance and expenses did not overcome severely depressed industry-wide margins, particularly through April. Compounding this situation were uncertainties with regard to changing state requirements for reformulated gasolines earlier in the year. - more - - 4 - Results for the second quarter 1994 included charges relating to the adjustment to fair market value of facilities being offered for sale and the estimated cost of employee separations. INTERNATIONAL
Second Quarter First Half ---------------- ---------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1995 1994 1995 1994 _________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 82 $ 34 $164 $ 79 Special charges - (16) - (16) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total operating earnings $ 82 $ 18 $164 $ 63 _________________________________________________________________________________
The profit improvements for the second quarter and first half 1995 reflect the growth in oil and gas production and increased crude oil prices, which averaged nearly $3 per barrel higher than in 1994. Production of crude oil and natural gas increased in the U.K. North Sea, mainly from the Strathspey field. There also was higher crude oil production in Australia from the offshore Roller and Skate fields, as well as in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia resulting from continuing field development programs. Production for the second quarter 1995 was somewhat lessened by scheduled maintenance work on facilities in the North Sea. Also, offshore China production was suspended during most of the second quarter for scheduled maintenance and to complete required work for the June 1995 start-up of two new fields, which will nearly double current production rates. Upstream results in 1995 include a second quarter non-cash benefit of $7 million and a year-to-date non-cash charge of $6 million due to currency exchange impacts associated with deferred income taxes in the U.K. For 1994, these currency impacts resulted in a $11 million charge, entirely in the second quarter. Second quarter 1994 results included charges related to the adjustment to fair market value of properties being offered for sale and the estimated cost of employee separations.
Second Quarter First Half ---------------- ---------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1995 1994 1995 1994 _________________________________________________________________________________ Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 79 $ 67 $180 $192 Gain from asset sale - - 80 - Special charges - (38) - (38) ---- ---- ---- ---- Total operating earnings $ 79 $ 29 $260 $154 _________________________________________________________________________________
- more - - 5 - Comparative operating earnings reflect weak European refined product margins, particularly in the U.K. Margins which began to decline in 1994, due to the oversupply in the marketplace, have remained depressed in 1995. Higher refined product sales volumes and margins in Latin America partly offset the general weakness in European operations. Earnings in the Caltex operating areas of the Pacific Rim benefited from improved margins and higher sales volumes. Downstream results in 1995 include a second quarter non-cash benefit of $8 million and a year-to-date non-cash charge of $5 million due to currency exchange impacts associated with deferred income taxes in the U.K. For 1994, these currency impacts resulted in a $12 million charge, entirely in the second quarter. Results for the first half of 1995 included a first quarter net gain principally relating to the sale of land by a Caltex affiliate in Japan. In 1994, second quarter results included charges related to the estimated cost of employee separations and the adjustment to fair market value of certain properties being offered for sale.

- more - - 6 - Results for 1995 include first quarter gains of $25 million, principally from sales of equity securities held for investment by an insurance subsidiary. Comparatively, results for the second quarter and first half of 1995 benefited from higher interest income and reduced overhead stemming from expense containment programs. Also, the second quarter of 1994 results included a $7 million gain from the receipt of a cash option payment relative to the sale of a manufacturing facility. The second quarter 1994 results included tax benefits realizable through the sale of an interest in a subsidiary, partly offset by charges relating to the cost of employee separations. CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES - ------------------------------------ Capital and exploratory expenditures for continuing operations, including equity in such expenditures of affiliates, were $1,272 million for the first half of 1995, as compared to $1,231 million for the same period of 1994. Expenditures for the second quarter of 1995 amounted to $759 million, versus $607 million for the second quarter of 1994. Increased exploration and production expenditures in 1995 reflect the development of the Captain field in the U.K. sector of the North Sea, as well as the acquisition of the outstanding minority ownership in a Canadian subsidiary. Partially offsetting these increases were lower scheduled U.S. upstream expenditures in 1995, as compared to the higher level of developmental gas drilling during the first quarter of 1994, and also reflect efficiency improvements in the company's 1995 drilling program. Downstream expenditures by Texaco's affiliates decreased due to completions of refinery upgrades in the Far East, partially offset by selected investments in Europe. - xxx - CONTACTS: Dave Dickson 914-253-4128 Cynthia Michener 914-253-4743 Yorick Fonseca 914-253-7034 NOTE TO EDITORS: Tables for the second quarter and first half are attached. - 7 -
