                    TEXACO REPORTS RESULTS
              FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR 1993

FOR  IMMEDIATE  RELEASE:   MONDAY,  JANUARY  24,  1994.
     WHITE  PLAINS,  N.Y.,  Jan.  24  -  Texaco Inc. announced
today that consolidated worldwide net income from continuing
operations (including special gains and charges) for the fourth
quarter of 1993 was $349 million, or $1.25 per share, as compared
with $341 million, or $1.22 per share, for the fourth quarter of
1992.  Comparable net income (including special gains and
charges) for the year 1993 was $1,259 million, or $4.47 per
share, as compared with $1,038 million, or $3.63 per share, for
the year  1992.  Net income from continuing operations is before
the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and
discontinued chemical operations.

In commenting on 1993's performance Alfred C. DeCrane, Jr., Texaco's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Results for the fourth quarter and year reflect strong operational performance in the face of crude oil prices which weakened significantly in the third and fourth quarters, and which remain depressed. Redesigned business processes and restructured operations contributed to a 4 percent reduction in 1993 operating and overhead expenses. The ability to cut cash operating expenses for the third year running confirms the importance of the quality process as a key ingredient of Texaco's business strategy." - more - Net income for the year 1993 included $210 million of net tax benefits realizable through sales of interests in a subsidiary, as well as $152 million of net deferred tax benefits arising from tax law changes in the third quarter. These tax law changes include the effect of changes in the U.K. Petroleum Revenue Tax relating to the taxability of certain items and a tax rate reduction from 75 percent to 50 percent, which were partially offset by charges related to the increase in the U.S. tax rate to 35 percent retroactive to January 1, 1993. Net income for the fourth quarter of 1992 included tax benefits of $30 million from the sale of a partial stock interest in a subsidiary. Results for 1993 and 1992 also included special charges of $235 and $130 million, respectively. These charges related to staff reductions, writedowns of certain assets, and financial reserves related to environmental remediation and the expected resolution of oil and gas issues. OPERATING EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS UNITED STATES Fourth Quarter Year -------------- ------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 114 $ 184 $ 548 $ 576 Tax law change - - (32) - Special charges - (26) (6) (33) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 114 $ 158 $ 510 $ 543 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth quarter 1993 results benefitted from reduced operating expenses; however, these benefits were more than offset by lower crude oil prices of approximately $4 per barrel. Results for the year 1993 reflect higher natural gas prices and lower expenses, and a $2 per barrel decline in crude oil and condensate prices as well as slightly lower crude oil and natural gas production. However, the successful drilling program in the latter part of the year has slowed the decline rate in natural gas production. Special charges for the year 1993 included third quarter charges related to staff reductions as well as the impact of the U.S. tax rate increase to 35 percent effective January 1, 1993. Special charges in 1992 related to the property damage caused by Hurricane Andrew, staff reductions and financial reserves. - more - Fourth Quarter Year -------------- ------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 100 $ 53 $ 306 $ 288 Tax law change - - (4) - Special charges - (21) (87) (21) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 100 $ 32 $ 215 $ 267 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings for both the fourth quarter and year 1993 benefitted from higher marketing margins on the East and Gulf Coasts of the U.S. during the latter part of the year. Branded gasoline sales grew during the fourth quarter and year 1993 as compared to the 1992 periods. Increased sales volumes in this preferred class of trade contributed to the improved results, as did lower refinery feedstock prices. Refinery downtime partially offset these improvements. Special items for the year 1993 included third quarter charges for staff reductions, environmental reserves and the U.S. tax rate increase. The fourth quarter of 1992 included special charges related to staff reductions and property damage due to a fire at the Los Angeles refinery. INTERNATIONAL Fourth Quarter Year -------------- ------------- Exploration & Production (Millions): 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 36 $ 168 $ 212 $ 414 Tax law changes - - 169 - Net special charges/gains - 2 (59) 2 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 36 $ 170 $ 322 $ 416 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lower fourth quarter and year 1993 earnings reflect the decline in worldwide crude oil prices, which was partially offset by new production. Production during the fourth quarter was up 18 percent as compared to 1992, mainly in Indonesia from the Belida field, in the North Sea and the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Operating results for the fourth quarter and year 1992 included benefits of $76 million and $99 million, respectively, relating to the currency exchange impact of the Pound Sterling on deferred income taxes. In 1993 there were no such benefits. - more - The year 1993 included a third quarter benefit of $169 million related 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 writedown of the carrying value of certain assets, principally in the North Sea, brought about by a change in the Petroleum Revenue Tax laws. The year 1992 included a gain related to the favorable settlement of a Danish tax issue and special charges for staff reductions. Fourth Quarter Year -------------- ------------- Manufacturing & Marketing (Millions): 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating earnings from continuing operations before special items $ 120 $ 86 $ 464 $ 335 Special charges - (35) (30) (35) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating earnings $ 120 $ 51 $ 434 $ 300 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings for both the fourth quarter and year 1993 reflect strong margins and higher refined product sales volumes in the Caltex operating areas as well as improved margins in Latin America, particularly Brazil. Caltex recorded non-cash charges which reduced Texaco's operating results by $36 million and $51 million in the fourth quarter and year 1993, respectively, to recognize that the market value of inventories is lower than their LIFO carrying value. The 1992 fourth quarter and year included benefits of $18 million and $23 million, respectively, relating to the currency exchange impact of the Pound Sterling on deferred income taxes. In 1993 there were no such benefits. Special charges for both years include charges related to staff reductions and writedowns in the carrying values of certain assets. The fourth quarter of 1992 also included financial reserves for the expected resolution of environmental and other issues. CORPORATE/NONOPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Fourth Quarter Year -------------- ------------- (Millions): 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results from continuing operations before special items $ (84) $ (65) $(389) $(474) Tax law change - - 23 - Net special charges - (25) (53) (25) Net tax benefits relating to asset sales 65 30 210 30 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total corporate/nonoperating $ (19) $ (60) $(209) $(469) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- more - Lower overall interest costs coupled with the company's continued expense reduction efforts improved 1993 results. The fourth quarter of 1992 included the receipt of interest income on U.K. and Danish tax refunds. The year 1993 included net tax benefits realizable through sales of interests in a subsidiary. The fourth quarter of 1993 included a refund of windfall profit taxes with interest, which was offset by financial reserves primarily relating to oil and gas issues. The net special charge for the year 1993 related to staff reductions. The year 1992 included a gain related to the sale of an interest in a subsidiary and special charges related to staff reductions and the reduction in the carrying value of certain assets. DISCONTINUED CHEMICAL OPERATIONS On September 13, 1993, Texaco announced its intent to sell substantially all of its worldwide chemical operations to an affiliate of the Jon M. Huntsman Group of Companies. The memorandum of understanding is being modified and Texaco is working in cooperation with Huntsman to sell the company's additives business to a third party. The sale of the nonadditives portion of the chemical operations is now expected to close in the first quarter of 1994, and the sale of the additives business is expected to take place by September 30, 1994. CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES Capital and exploratory expenditures for continuing operations, including equity in such expenditures of affiliates, were $2,863 million for the year 1993 as compared with $3,004 million for the prior year. Expenditures for continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 1993 amounted to $998 million versus $1,000 million for the same quarter in 1992. Expenditures for 1993 declined as compared to 1992, reflecting the completion of several refinery upgrade projects in the U.S. which were underway in 1992, mainly by Star Enterprise. In addition, international upstream expenditures decreased, principally in the U.K. sector of the North Sea where new production was placed onstream. Offsetting these decreases were increased drilling activities in the United States, and higher international refining and marketing investments in the Caltex area. - xxx - NOTE: Tables for the fourth quarter and year are attached.
