NOTE 65 - DERIVATIVES

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY

Occidental ~~uses~~enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. Occidental may occasionally use a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, foreign currency fluctuations, interest rate risks and transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. ~~Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.~~

Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies, such as to lock in rates on debt issuances. ~~Derivatives are carried at fair~~The value ~~and on a net basis when a legal right~~ of ~~offset exists with the same counterparty.~~cash flow hedges was insignificant for all periods presented.

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, Occidental’s derivatives not designated as hedges consisted of marketing derivatives. Occidental retired all remaining outstanding interest rate swaps ~~and marketing derivatives.~~in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. ~~The fair value does not reflect the realized or cash value of the instrument.~~

~~INTEREST RATE SWAPS~~

Occidental's interest rate swap contracts lock in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate throughout the reference period. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps are recognized currently in gains on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

~~Occidental had the following outstanding interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2022:~~

millions, except percentages Mandatory Weighted-Average
Notional Principal Amount Reference Period Termination Date Interest Rate
$ 275 September 2016 - 2046 September 2022 6.709 %
$ 450 September 2017 - 2047 September 2023 6.445 %

Depending on market conditions, liability management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions as well as amend or settle certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.

Derivative settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flow from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. In the first quarter of 2022, net cash payments related to settlements of interest rate swap agreements were $23 million. Additionally, $102 million of collateral was returned.

MARKETING DERIVATIVES

Occidental's marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. ~~A substantial majority of Occidental's physically settled derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market valuation in earnings.~~ As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was ~~$96.63~~$77.70 per barrel and ~~$5.15~~$2.12 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was ~~$74.85~~$81.37 per barrel and ~~$4.61~~$7.89 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

CREDIT RISK

Certain of Occidental's over-the-counter derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features for which a net liability position existed as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023 was ~~$34 million (net of $221 million of collateral), which was primarily related to interest rate swaps.~~$9 million.

NOTE 76 - INCOME TAXES

~~LEGAL ENTITY REORGANIZATION~~

To align Occidental’s legal entity structure with the nature of its business activities after completing the acquisition of Anadarko and subsequent large scale post-Acquisition divestiture program, management undertook a legal entity reorganization that was completed in the first quarter of 2022.

As a result of this legal entity reorganization, management made an adjustment to the tax basis in a portion of its operating assets, thus reducing Occidental’s deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2022, Occidental recorded an estimated non-cash tax benefit of $2.6 billion in connection with this reorganization. The timing of any reduction in Occidental’s future cash taxes as a result of this legal entity reorganization will be dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing commodity prices, capital activity level and production mix. Further refinement of the non-cash tax benefit may be necessary as Occidental finalizes its tax basis calculations, its tax returns and other information.

The following table summarizes components of income tax ~~benefit (expense) on continuing operations~~expense for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

~~NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS~~

Occidental has various defined benefit pension plans for certain domestic union, non-union hourly and foreign national employees. In addition, Occidental also provides medical and other benefits for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents.

~~Net periodic benefit gains related to pension benefits were zero and $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.~~

~~Net periodic benefit costs related to postretirement benefits were $19 million and $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.~~

Occidental's contributions to its defined benefit plans were $1 million and $147 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The 2021 contributions were primarily due to distributions related to a separation program and freezing of benefit accruals for Anadarko employees in 2020 and for contributions which were previously deferred in 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.


NOTE 97 - ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES

~~Occidental’s~~Occidental and its subsidiaries and their respective operations are subject to stringent federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including CERCLA and similar federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites.

Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitor a range of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these laws with respect to alleged past practices at ~~operating, closed~~Third-Party, Currently Operated, and ~~third-party sites.~~Closed or Non-Operated Sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; ~~cleanup~~clean-up measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, certain Occidental subsidiaries participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at ~~166~~161 sites. The following table presents ~~Occidental’s~~the current and non-current environmental remediation liabilities of such subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The current portion ~~$155~~of $141 million is included in accrued liabilities and the ~~non-current portion, $933~~remainder of $890 million is included in deferred credits and other ~~liabilities-environmental~~liabilities - environmental remediation liabilities.

~~Occidental’s~~

These environmental remediation sites are grouped into ~~four categories: sites listed or proposed for listing by~~NPL Sites and the ~~U.S. EPA on the CERCLA NPL and~~following three categories of non-NPL ~~sites—third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites~~Sites—Third-Party Sites, Currently Operated Sites and ~~closed~~Closed or ~~non-operated Occidental sites.~~Non-Operated Sites.

As of March 31, ~~2022, Occidental’s~~2023, environmental remediation liabilities of Occidental subsidiaries exceeded $10 million each at 2017 of the ~~166~~161 sites described above, and 9895 of the sites had liabilities from ~~zero~~$0 to $1 million each. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects its subsidiaries to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40% of the period-end remediation balance ~~at the sites described above~~ over the next three to four years ~~and~~with the ~~remaining balance at these sites~~remainder over the subsequent 10 or more years.

Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses of its subsidiaries beyond those ~~liabilities~~amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation ~~at these~~for the 161 environmental sites in the table above could be up to ~~$1.3~~$2.7 billion. The status of Occidental's involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions, including those sites indemnified by Maxus, has not changed materially since December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES

~~When Occidental acquired~~A significant portion of aggregate estimates of environmental remediation liabilities and reasonably possible additional losses described above relates to the former Diamond ~~Shamrock~~Alkali Chemicals Company (DSCC). When OxyChem acquired DSCC in 1986, Maxus ~~a subsidiary of YPF,~~ agreed to indemnify ~~Occidental~~OxyChem for a number of environmental sites, including the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site ~~along a portion of the Passaic River. On~~(DASS). In June ~~17,~~ 2016, Maxus and several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in ~~Federal~~the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District ~~Court in the State~~ of Delaware. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Maxus defended and indemnified ~~Occidental~~OxyChem in connection with ~~clean-up~~remediation costs and other ~~costs~~liabilities associated with the sites subject to the ~~indemnity, including~~indemnity. Any additional recovery of indemnified costs would come from the proceeds of litigation brought by the Maxus Liquidating Trust. For additional information on the Maxus Liquidating Trust, see Note 8 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.

DIAMOND ALKALI SUPERFUND SITE

The EPA has organized the DASS into four Operable Units (OUs) for evaluating, selecting and implementing remediation under CERCLA. OxyChem’s current activities in each OU are summarized below, many of which are performed on OxyChem’s behalf by Glenn Springs Holdings, Inc.

OU1 – The Former Diamond Alkali ~~Superfund Site.~~Plant at 80-120 Lister Avenue in Newark, New Jersey: Maxus and its affiliates implemented an interim remedy of OU1 pursuant to a 1990 Consent Decree, for which OxyChem currently performs maintenance and monitoring. The EPA is conducting a periodic evaluation of the interim remedy for OU1.

OU2 – The Lower 8.3 Miles of the Lower Passaic River: In March 2016, the EPA issued a ~~ROD~~Record of Decision (ROD) specifying remedial actions required for ~~the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River (OU-2). The ROD does not address any potential remedial action for the upper 9 miles of the Lower Passaic River or Newark Bay.~~OU2. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, OxyChem and the EPA entered into an ~~AOC~~Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to complete the design of the ~~proposed clean-up plan outlined~~remedy selected in the ~~ROD at an estimated cost of $165 million. The~~OU2 ROD. At that time, the EPA sent notice letters to approximately 100 parties notifying them that they were potentially responsible to pay the costs to implement the remedy in OU2 and announced that it ~~will~~would pursue similar agreements with ~~other potentially responsible parties.~~

Occidental has accrued a reserve relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the design and remediation called for in the AOC and the ROD as well as for certain other Maxus-indemnified sites. Occidental's accrued estimated environmental reserve does not consider any recoveries for indemnified costs. Occidental’s ultimate share of this liability may be higher or lower than the reserved amount, and is subject to final design plans and the resolution of Occidental's allocable share with other potentially responsible parties. Occidental continues to evaluate the costs to be incurred to comply with the AOC and the ROD and to perform remediation at other Maxus-indemnified sites in light of the Maxus bankruptcy and the share of ultimate liability of other potentially responsible parties. In June 2018, OxyChem filed a complaint under CERCLA in Federal District Court in the State of New Jersey (District Court) against numerous potentially responsible parties ~~for reimbursement~~seeking contribution and cost recovery of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC and the OU2 ROD, or to perform other remediation activities atrelated to the ~~Diamond Alkali Superfund Site.~~DASS (2018 Contribution Action). The 2018 Contribution Action remains pending, but is stayed. The District Court has not adjudicated OxyChem’s relative share of responsibility for those costs. The EPA has estimated the cost to remediate OU2 to be approximately $1.4 billion.

OU3 – Newark Bay Study Area, including Newark Bay and Portions of the Hackensack River, Arthur Kill, and Kill van Kull: Maxus and its affiliates initiated a remedial investigation and feasibility study of OU3 pursuant to a 2004 AOC which was amended in 2010. OxyChem is currently performing feasibility study activities in OU3.

OU4 – The 17-mile Lower Passaic River Study Area, comprising OU2 and the Upper 9 Miles of the Lower Passaic River: In September 2021, the EPA issued a ROD ~~with an estimated cost of $441 million for~~selecting an interim remedy ~~plan~~ for the ~~upper 9 miles~~portion of OU4 that excludes OU2, and is located upstream from the ~~Lower Passaic River. At this time, Occidental's role or responsibilities~~Lister Avenue Plant site for which OxyChem inherited legal responsibility. The EPA had estimated the cost to remediate OU4, excluding OU2, to be approximately $440 million. The District Court has not adjudicated OxyChem's relative share of responsibility for costs under ~~this ROD, and those of other potentially responsible parties, have not been determined with~~ the ~~EPA. Discussions between Occidental and the EPA~~OU4 ROD. To provide continued, efficient remediation

~~are ongoing about this ROD. In~~progress, in January 2022, OxyChem ~~made an offer~~offered to design and implement the interim remedy for ~~the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River (OU-4)~~OU4 subject to certain ~~conditions.~~conditions, including a condition that the EPA would not seek to bar OxyChem’s right to pursue contribution or cost recovery from any other parties that are potentially responsible to pay for the OU4 interim remedy. In March 2022, the EPA sent a notice letter to OxyChem and other parties requesting good faith offers to implement the selected remedies at ~~OU-2~~OU2 and ~~OU-4.~~OU4. OxyChem submitted a good faith offer in June 2022, reaffirming the offer to design the remedy for OU4 and offering to enter into additional sequential agreements to remediate OU2 and OU4, subject to similar conditions, including that the EPA not seek to bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution or cost recovery from other responsible parties. The EPA did not accept OxyChem's June 2022 offer. In March 2023, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (OU4 UAO) in which it directed and ordered OxyChem to design the EPA’s selected interim remedy for OU4 and to provide approximately $93 million in financial assurance to secure its performance. OxyChem has commenced work to design the interim remedy in compliance with the OU4 UAO. As a result of OxyChem incurring costs to implement the OU4 UAO, and EPA's proposal to bar OxyChem's contribution claims against the settling parties, including those asserted in the 2018 Contribution Action, OxyChem filed a cost recovery action under CERCLA in March 2023 in the District Court against multiple parties (2023 Cost Recovery Action).

Natural Resource Trustees: In addition to the activities of the EPA and OxyChem in the OUs described above, federal and state natural resources trustees are assessing natural resources in the Lower Passaic River and Greater Newark Bay to evaluate potential claims for natural resource damages.

ALDEN LEEDS LITIGATION

In ~~June 2017,~~December 2022, the EPA and the DOJ filed a proposed Consent Decree in the Alden Leeds litigation seeking court ~~overseeing~~approval to settle with 85 parties for a total of $150 million and release them from liability for remediation costs in DASS OU2 and OU4, which OxyChem believes is based on a disproportionate allocation of responsibility to OxyChem despite overwhelming evidence regarding the ~~Maxus bankruptcy approved a Plan~~responsibility of ~~Liquidation~~others, and, among other infirmities, is contrary to liquidate Maxus and create a trust to pursue claims against current and former parents and each of its respective subsidiaries and affiliates of YPF and Repsol, as well as others to satisfy claims by Occidentalsite-specific sampling and other ~~creditors for past and future cleanup and other costs. In July 2017,~~relevant evidence concerning the ~~court-approved Plan~~liability of ~~Liquidation became final~~the settling parties. The EPA and the ~~trust became effective. The trust~~DOJ also seek entry of an order that would bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution against those parties for remediation costs OxyChem has incurred or may incur in the future to design and implement the remedies in OU2 and OU4.

In April 2023, the District Court granted OxyChem's request to intervene and participate in the Alden Leeds litigation as a party. OxyChem intends to challenge the proposed settlement vigorously and to seek contribution and cost recovery from other potentially responsible parties for remediation costs it has incurred or may incur at the DASS. OxyChem does not know when the District Court will rule on the propriety of the proposed settlement. If the proposed settlement is ~~pursuing claims against YPF, Repsol~~approved by the District Court and ~~others~~not overturned on appeal, then, notwithstanding OxyChem’s vigorous, good faith effort to contest the settlement proposed in the Alden Leeds litigation, the EPA could attempt to compel OxyChem to bear substantially all of the estimated cost to design and isimplement the OU2 and OU4 remedies, which could have a material adverse impact on OxyChem and Occidental’s consolidated results of operations in the period recorded.

While the remedies for OU2 and OU4 are expected to ~~distribute assets~~take over ten years to ~~Maxus' creditors~~complete, the EPA may seek to require OxyChem to provide additional financial assurance. In the OU4 UAO, the EPA has directed OxyChem to post financial assurance in ~~accordance~~the amount of approximately $93 million. Subject to all defenses, OxyChem intends to comply with this directive. The amount of any additional financial assurance is not subject to estimation at this time. It is uncertain when or to what extent the ~~trust agreement~~EPA may take action to compel OxyChem to perform further remediation in OU2 or OU4 or the amount of financial assurance the EPA may attempt to require OxyChem to post. For further information on the Alden Leeds litigation, see No te 8 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Plan. In June 2018, the trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in Delaware bankruptcy court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. During 2019, the bankruptcy court denied Repsol's and YPF's motions to dismiss the complaint as well as their motions to move the case away from the bankruptcy court. Discovery remains ongoing at the time of this report. The bankruptcy court will hear motions for summary judgment in June 2022Conting encies.

OTHER INFORMATION

For the DASS, OxyChem has accrued a reserve relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the maintenance and monitoring required in the OU1 Consent Decree, the design and implementation of remedies selected in the OU2 ROD and AOC and the OU4 ROD and OU4 UAO, and the remedial investigation and feasibility study required in OU3.

OxyChem’s accrued environmental remediation reserve does not reflect the potential for additional remediation costs or natural resource damages for the DASS that OxyChem believes are not reasonably estimable. OxyChem’s ultimate liability at the DASS may be higher or lower than the reserved amount and the reasonably possible additional losses, and is subject to final design plans, further action by the EPA and natural resource trustees, and the resolution of OxyChem's allocable share with other potentially responsible parties, among other factors.

OxyChem continues to evaluate the estimated costs currently recorded for remediation at the DASS and other Maxus-indemnified sites, as well as the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded. Given the complexity and extent of the remediation efforts, estimates of the remediation costs may increase or decrease over time as new information becomes available.


NOTE 108 - LAWSUITS, CLAIMS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries are also ~~are~~ involved in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and ~~injunctive relief.~~government oversight costs. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing ~~response~~remediation costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental or its subsidiary retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental ~~accrues~~or its subsidiaries accrue reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for matters, other than for ~~environmental remediation and~~ the arbitration award ~~disclosed below,~~(disclosed below), tax matters and disputes or environmental remediation, that satisfy ~~this~~these criteria as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022 were not material to Occidental’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.

ANDES ARBITRATION

In 2016, Occidental received payments from the Republic of Ecuador of approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to a November 2015 arbitration award for Ecuador’s 2006 expropriation of Occidental’s Participation Contract for Block 15. The awarded amount represented a recovery of Occidental's 60% of the value of Block 15. In 2017, Andes ~~filed a demand for~~commenced an arbitration, against OEPC, claiming it is entitled to a 40% share of the judgment amount obtained by Occidental. Occidental ~~contends~~contended that Andes is not entitled to any of the amounts paid under the 2015 arbitration award because Occidental’s recovery was limited to Occidental’s own 60% economic interest in the block. OnIn March ~~26,~~ 2021, the arbitration tribunal issued an award in favor of Andes and against OEPC in the amount of $391 million plus interest. In June 2021, OEPC filed a motion to vacate the award due to concerns regarding the validity of the award. In December 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed the arbitration award, plus prejudgment interest, in the aggregate amount of $558 million. OEPC has appealed the judgment. Oral argument with respect to OEPC’s appeal occurred in February 2023, and a ruling is expected later this year. Andes has filed state court claims in New York and Delaware against OEPC, OPC and OXY USA to attempt to recover on its judgment against OEPC during the pendency of the appeal. The New York state court action against OPC was dismissed with prejudice in March 2023, and Andes filed its notice of appeal in April 2023. Andes also continues to attempt to recover on its judgment in New York federal court and in Delaware state court. All Occidental entities are vigorously defending against these actions. In addition, OEPC ~~has made a demand for~~commenced an arbitration against Andes to recover significant additional claims not addressed by the prior arbitration tribunal ~~that OEPC has against Andes~~ relating to Andes' 40% share of costs, liabilities, losses and expenses due under the farmout agreement and joint operating agreement to which Andes and OEPC are parties. A hearing on these claims occurred in December 2022. A ruling from the arbitration tribunal is expected in the first half of 2023.

ALDEN LEEDS AND OTHER LITIGATION

In December ~~2021,~~2022, the EPA and the DOJ filed a proposed Consent Decree with the District Court in the Alden Leeds litigation seeking court approval of a proposed settlement in which the EPA seeks to release 85 potentially responsible parties from all remediation costs in OU2 and OU4 of the DASS for approximately $150 million. OxyChem believes the proposed settlement relies, improperly, on an allocation report prepared by an EPA contractor in which the contractor purported to assign a disproportionate share of the responsibility for remediation costs in OU2 and OU4 to OxyChem. In the proposed settlement, the EPA also seeks to bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution claims against the 85 settling parties for remediation costs in OU2 and OU4, including those asserted in OxyChem’s 2018 Contribution Action. The 2018 Contribution Action is currently stayed. The proposed settlement does not address the liability of any party with respect to OU3 or natural resource damages. OxyChem intends to contest the proposed settlement vigorously. As discussed above in Note 7 – Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, in March 2023, the EPA issued the OU4 UAO, which directs OxyChem

to design the remedy for OU4. Subject to its defenses, OxyChem is complying with this order. Based upon the OU4 UAO, OxyChem also filed its 2023 Cost Recovery Action against multiple parties to recover costs incurred or that will be incurred to comply with the OU4 UAO.

The proposed EPA settlement was subject to a public comment period that closed in March 2023. OxyChem believes the proposed settlement exceeds the EPA’s statutory authority and is based on a flawed allocation process. OxyChem also believes that process was unreasonably limited in scope and unreliably based on voluntary reporting by the settling parties, instead of sworn evidence, publicly available sampling results and historical documents reflecting the operating history and disposal practices of the 85 parties that the EPA proposes to release as part of this settlement. OxyChem expects to show that the EPA’s proposed settlement does not fairly and reasonably reflect the settling parties’ contribution of hazardous substances to the DASS and, among other things, incorrectly attributes to OxyChem substances that were contributed by one or more of the 85 settling parties.

OxyChem's request to intervene in the Alden Leeds litigation has been granted. This intervention will allow OxyChem to protect its rights under federal law to challenge the proposed settlement, as well as the allocation report and process upon which the settlement is based. In the 2018 Contribution Action and 2023 Cost Recovery Action, OxyChem also intends to defend and prosecute vigorously its right to seek contribution and cost recovery from all potentially responsible parties to pay remediation costs in the DASS and to seek a judicial allocation of responsibility under CERCLA. As the Alden Leeds litigation is in its early stages, OxyChem is unable to estimate the timing of the District Court’s decision, its outcome, or the outcome of any appeals from the District Court’s decision.

MAXUS LIQUIDATING TRUST

As described in Note 7 – Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, Maxus was contractually obligated to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OxyChem against environmental liabilities arising from the former operations of DSCC. In June 2016, Maxus filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. ~~District~~Bankruptcy Court ~~Southern~~for the District of ~~New York confirmed~~Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court). In June 2017, the ~~arbitration award, plus prejudgment interest,~~Bankruptcy Court approved a Plan of Liquidation to liquidate Maxus and create the Trust for the benefit of Maxus’ creditors, including OxyChem, to pursue claims against Maxus’ current and former parents, YPF and Repsol, certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and others to satisfy claims by OxyChem and other creditors for past and future remediation and other costs. In July 2017, the court-approved Plan of Liquidation became final, and the Trust became effective. Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust is governed by an independent trustee and is not controlled by OxyChem. The Plan authorizes the Trust to distribute any assets it recovers from such litigation claims to the Trust’s beneficiaries, which include OxyChem and other creditors, in accordance with the Plan and governing Trust Agreement.

In June 2018, the Trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in the ~~aggregate amount~~Bankruptcy Court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. During 2019, the Bankruptcy Court denied Repsol's and YPF's motions to dismiss the complaint as well as their motions to move the case to a different court. These rulings were upheld on appeal. The Trust, YPF and Repsol each filed motions for summary judgment, and the Bankruptcy Court denied all but one motion in the second quarter of ~~$558 million. OEPC~~2022. The Bankruptcy Court’s summary judgment decision indicated that, at trial, the Trust must establish a causal link between its claimed damages and the alter ego conduct of YPF and Repsol. In April 2023, the Trust, YPF and Repsol reached an agreement to resolve the claims pending in the Bankruptcy Court. Related agreements were executed among the United States Government, YPF and Repsol as well as among OxyChem, YPF and Repsol. YPF and Repsol are required to pay the Trust $575 million, which the Trust will distribute according to the Plan. The agreements are subject to court and other approvals. If the settlement is approved, then OxyChem expects to recover proceeds of approximately $350 million during the second half of this year. OxyChem currently has ~~appealed~~a valuation allowance established against a substantial portion of its claims against Maxus. If the ~~judgement.~~

~~If unfavorable outcomes~~settlement is ultimately approved, OxyChem expects it will recognize a gain in excess of ~~these matters were to occur, future results~~$200 million on the remeasurement of ~~operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about~~ the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.valuation allowance.

TAX MATTERS AND DISPUTES

During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and international tax jurisdictions. Tax years through ~~2019~~2020 for U.S. federal income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program and subsequent taxable years are currently under review. Tax years through 2014 have been audited for state income tax purposes. Significant audit matters in international jurisdictions have been resolved through 2010. During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.

For Anadarko, its taxable years through 2014 and tax year 2016 for U.S. federal tax purposes have been audited by the IRS. Tax years through ~~2008~~2010 have been audited for state income tax purposes. There is one outstanding significant tax

matter in an international jurisdiction related to a discontinued operation. As stated above, during the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.

Other than the ~~matter~~dispute discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax ~~matters~~disputes would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Anadarko received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox Adversary Proceeding settlement payment in 2015. In September 2018, Anadarko received a statutory notice of deficiency from the IRS disallowing the net operating loss carryback and rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. As a result, Anadarko filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowances in November 2018. ~~The case was in~~In December 2022, the ~~IRS appeals process until the second quarter of 2020, however it has since been returned to the U.S.~~parties filed competing motions for partial summary judgment. The Tax Court ~~where a~~denied the motions and trial ~~date has been set for July 2022 and Occidental expects to continue pursuing resolution.~~began on May 1, 2023.

In accordance with ASC 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund of $881 million. As a result, should Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no additional tax expense recorded relative to this position for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event, Occidental would be required to repay approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.4 billion in federal taxes, $28 million in state taxes and accrued interest of ~~$329~~$453 million. A liability for this amount plus interest is included in deferred credits and other ~~liabilities-other.~~liabilities - other.

INDEMNITIES TO THIRD PARTIES

Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have indemnified various parties against specified liabilities those parties might incur in the future in connection with purchases and other transactions that they have entered into with ~~Occidental.~~Occidental or its subsidiaries. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to indemnity claims that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

(c) As of March 31, 2023, Occidental has 103.9 million outstanding warrants with a strike of $22.00 per share and 83.9 million of warrants with a strike of $59.62 per share.

PREFERRED STOCK REDEMPTION

In ~~April 2022,~~connection with the Anadarko Acquisition, Occidental issued 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock, with a face value of $100,000 per share and a liquidation preference of $105,000 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends. Prior to August 2029, the agreement includes a mandatory redemption provision that obligates Occidental to redeem the preferred stock at a 10% premium to face value on a dollar-for-dollar basis for every dollar distributed to common shareholders (either via common stock dividends or share repurchases) above $4.00 per share, on a trailing 12-month basis. Preferred redemptions can settle between 30 and 60 days from the date Berkshire Hathaway is notified of the redemption obligation and accrued unpaid dividends are paid up to but not including the redemption date. Occidental cannot voluntarily redeem the preferred stock before August 2029. After August 2029, Occidental can voluntarily redeem the preferred stock at a 5% premium to face value.

Dividends on the preferred stock accrue on the face value at a rate per annum of 8%, but will be paid only when, and if, declared by Occidental’s Board of Directors. At any time, when such dividends have not been paid in full, the unpaid amounts will accrue dividends, compounded quarterly, at a rate per annum of 9%. Following the payment in full of any accrued but unpaid dividends, the dividend rate will remain at 9% per annum. If preferred dividends are not paid in full, Occidental is prohibited from paying dividends on common stock. Occidental paid $200 million ~~cash~~ in preferred stock ~~dividends.~~dividends in the first quarter of 2023.

The following table presents the number of shares of preferred stock which were obligated to be redeemed as of March 31, 2023.

Less: Obligated redemptions			(6,468)

The carrying value of preferred stock is less than the face value. The difference between carrying value and face value, along with the redemption premium, reduces net income available to common stockholders. The following presents the components of preferred stock dividends and redemptions:

CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Occidental’s operations, financial condition, cash flows and levels of expenditures are highly dependent on oil prices and, to a lesser extent, NGL and natural gas prices, the Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads, chemical product prices and inflationary pressures in the ~~prices it receives for its chemical products.~~macro-economic environment.

As of March 31, 2023, substantially all of Occidental's outstanding debt is fixed rate.

~~2022~~2023 PRIORITIES

Occidental’s capital and operational priorities for ~~2022~~2023 are intended to maximize cash flow by sustaining ~~2021~~2022 production ~~levels. Occidental's~~levels and maintaining capital discipline. Occidental intends to utilize operating cash ~~flow priorities remain to~~ flows to:

■preserve and enhance its existing asset base with investments in its core cash-generative oil and gas and chemical businesses as well as emerging low-carbon businesses with a focus on its net-zero pathway;

■continue ~~to reduce financial leverage while concurrently instituting a~~its shareholder return framework ~~and to maintain a robust liquidity position. In the current commodity price environment, Occidental expects to fund its operational and capital requirements, return capital to shareholders~~ in the form of ~~an increased~~a sustainable common share dividend and ~~institute~~ an active share ~~buy back program with cash flows from operations.~~ buyback plan, which could result in partial redemptions of the preferred stock further improving Occidental's financial position; and

■continue to opportunistically reduce financial leverage.

During the first ~~quarter~~three months of ~~2022,~~2023, Occidental generated cash flow from ~~continuing~~ operations of ~~$3.2~~$2.9 billion and incurred capital expenditures of ~~$858 million.~~

~~LIABILITY MANAGEMENT~~

~~In the first quarter of 2022, Occidental used cash on hand to reduce debt with maturities ranging from 2022 through 2049 by $3.3~~$1.5 billion. Occidental has remaining near-term debt maturities of approximately $362 million in 2023 and $1.4 billion in 2024. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, but before the date of this filing, Occidental paid off additional debt with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2049 and principal of $263 million.

Occidental’s $2.3 billion Zero Coupons can be put to Occidental in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2022, which, if put in whole, would require a payment of approximately $1.1 billion at such date. Occidental currently has the ability to meet this obligation and may use available capacity under the RCF to satisfy the put should it be exercised.

The remaining interest rate swaps with a fair value of $372 million, net of collateral, as of March 31, 2022, have mandatory termination dates in September 2022 and 2023. The interest rate swaps' fair value, and cash required to settle them on their termination dates, will continue to fluctuate with changes in interest rates through the mandatory termination dates. Depending on market conditions, liability management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions or settle or amend certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.

As of March 31, 2022, Occidental had approximately $1.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand, and as of the date of this filing, $4.0 billion of borrowing capacity and no drawn amounts under its RCF, which matures in June 2025. Additionally, Occidental has up to $400 million of available borrowing capacity and no drawn amounts on its receivables securitization facility which matures in December 2024. Occidental expects its cash on hand and funds available under its RCF to be sufficient to meet its debt maturities, operating expenditures and other obligations for the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

DEBT RATINGS

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, Occidental’s long-term debt was rated ~~Ba1~~Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, BB+ by Fitch Ratings and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s. Occidental's credit rating was upgraded to investment grade by Moody's Investors Service in March 2023. Any downgrade in credit ratings could impact Occidental's ability to access capital markets and increase its cost of capital. In addition, ~~given that Occidental’s current debt ratings are non-investment grade,~~ Occidental or its subsidiaries may be requested, ~~and~~elect to provide or in some cases be required to provide collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit, surety bonds or other acceptable support as financial assurance of ~~its~~their performance and payment obligations under certain contractual arrangements such as pipeline transportation contracts, environmental remediation obligations, oil and gas purchase contracts and certain derivative instruments. Occidental has no remaining debt maturities in 2023.

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Occidental declared dividends to common shareholders of $164 million or $0.18 per share and repurchased 12.5 million common shares at an average price of $60.09 per share.

In March 2023, Occidental triggered the mandatory redemption provision. Occidental accrued redemptions of preferred stock with a face value of $647 million, and an additional $65 million premium. To the extent Occidental's trailing 12-month distributions to common shareholders remains above $4.00 per share, Occidental is required to continue to match any common shareholder distributions with preferred stock redemptions. Of the $712 million mandatory redemptions accrued as of March 31, 2023, $551 million, inclusive of the 10% premium, was settled for cash subsequent to March 31, 2023 but before the date of this filing, Occidental has provided required financial assurances through a combination of cash, letters of credit and surety bonds. Occidental has not issued any letters of credit under the RCF or other committed facilities. For additional information, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of Occidental’s 2021 Form 10-K.filing.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY

Occidental’s operations and cash flows can vary significantly based on changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and the prices it receives for its chemical products. Such changes in prices could result in adjustments in capital investment levels and how such capital is allocated, which could impact production volumes. Significant changes have occurred in the macro-economic environment over the previous year, which have ~~led~~impacted energy demand leading to ~~an increase~~decreases in commodity prices and chemical product pricing, and correspondingly Occidental's results of operations and cash flows. Occidental's results of operations and cash flows are driven by these macro-economic effects rather than seasonality. In November 2020, the SEC issued a final rule to Regulation S-K which permits the option to discuss material changes to results of operations between the current and immediately preceding quarter. Occidental has elected to discuss its results of operations on a sequential-quarter basis starting with this filing. The implementation of this approach will provide more meaningful and useful information to investors to measure performance from the immediately preceding quarter. In accordance with this final rule, Occidental is not required to include a comparison of the current quarter and the same prior-year quarter for future filings.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ~~AND ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY~~

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Occidental’s principal businesses consist of three reporting segments: oil and gas, chemical and midstream and marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment mainly manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The midstream and marketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil (which includes condensate), NGL, natural gas, CO2 and power. It also optimizes its transportation and storage capacity and invests in entities that conduct similar activities such as WES.

The ~~following table sets forth~~midstream and marketing segment also includes Occidental's low carbon ventures businesses. Occidental's low carbon ventures businesses seek to leverage Occidental’s legacy of carbon management expertise to develop carbon capture, utilization and storage projects, including the ~~sales~~commercialization of direct air capture technology, invest in other low-carbon technologies intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its operations and ~~earnings of each operating segment and corporate items for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021:~~strategically partner with other industries to help reduce their emissions.

Occidental estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which ~~the Company~~Occidental operates, adjusted for certain discrete items. Each quarter, Occidental updates these rates and records a cumulative adjustment to its income taxes by applying the rates to the pre-tax income excluding certain discrete items. Occidental’s quarterly estimate of its effective tax rates can vary significantly based on various forecasted items, including future commodity prices, capital expenditures, expenses for which tax benefits are not recognized and the geographic mix of pre-tax income and losses. The ~~difference between the negative 58%~~27% worldwide effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily driven by Occidental's jurisdictional mix of income. U.S. income ~~from continuing operations~~is taxed at a U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, while international income is subject to tax at statutory rates as high as 55%. The (58)% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the ~~21% U.S. federal statutory tax rate was~~20% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, were primarily driven by ~~a non-cash~~the jurisdictional mix of income as well as tax ~~benefit~~benefits associated with ~~Occidental's~~Occidental’s legal entity reorganization in 2022, which is currently under IRS review as ~~further described below, partially offset by higher~~part of Occidental's 2022 federal tax ~~rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which Occidental operates.~~

Occidental or its subsidiaries have provided financial assurances through a combination of cash, letters of credit and surety bonds. As of March 31, 2023, Occidental had not issued any letters of credit under the RCF or other committed facilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES

Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. Occidental’s environmental compliance costs have generally increased over time and are expected to rise in the future. Occidental factors environmental expenditures for its operations as an integral part of its business planning process.

The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including CERCLA and similar federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitor a range of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these laws with respect to alleged past practices at ~~operating, closed~~Third-Party, Currently Operated, and ~~third-party sites.~~Closed or Non-Operated Sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; cleanup measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.

See Note 9 7 - ~~Environmental~~Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures in the notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and the Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental liabilities and expenditures.

Occidental has disclosed its reserve balances for environmental remediation matters and its estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses for such matters. See Note 7 - Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures and Note 108 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies, in the notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.
