Phillips 66 Announces 2013 Capital Program And Intent To Form MLP

Phillips 66 intends to build its financial strength and flexibility through disciplined capital allocation. Equity growth and debt reduction are expected to further improve the company’s debt-to-capital ratio within its target range of 20 to 30 percent by the end of 2013. The company plans to reduce debt by $2 billion by the end of next year. Phillips 66’s approach to capital allocation is designed to fund earnings growth and sustainability investments, while increasing distributions to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Since becoming an independent company in May 2012, Phillips 66 has announced plans to increase its quarterly dividend by a total of 56 percent, and to repurchase $2 billion of outstanding common stock.

Complementary to its plans for growth, Phillips 66 is building a high-performing organization in order to promote business continuity and continued success. The company has a long heritage of safe, reliable and environmentally sound operations and continues to maintain a constant focus on operating excellence.

“Our dedicated employees enable us to pursue and execute our strategy. Together, we are delivering energy to the world and conducting our business with safety, honor and commitment,” Garland concluded.
