PENNZOIL COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) General -
The condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil") without
audit and should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in Pennzoil's latest
annual report. The foregoing financial statements include only
normal recurring accruals and all adjustments which Pennzoil
considers necessary for a fair presentation.
(2) Adoption of New Accounting Standard -
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which established
an elective new standard on accounting for stock-based
compensation. SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value-based method
of accounting for stock-based compensation plans awarded after
December 31, 1995 and encourages companies to adopt the accounting
method set forth in SFAS 123 in place of the existing accounting
method, which requires expense recognition only in situations where
stock compensation plans award intrinsic value to employees at the
date of grant. Companies that elect not to follow SFAS No. 123 for
accounting purposes must make annual pro forma disclosure of its
effects.
As of January 1, 1996, Pennzoil adopted SFAS No. 123 using the
pro forma disclosure method described in the pronouncement.
Accordingly, adoption of the statement did not impact Pennzoil's
results of operations or financial position. Information relating
to stock-based compensation will be included in footnotes to
Pennzoil's audited financial statements in future periods.
(3) Transactions Involving Oil and Gas Assets
In April 1996, Pennzoil signed a letter of intent with Gulf
Canada Resources Limited ("Gulf Canada") providing for (i) the
establishment of a joint venture for the development of natural gas
reserves in the Zama area of northern Alberta and (ii) the sale by
Pennzoil of its remaining, non-strategic Canadian oil and gas
assets to Gulf Canada for approximately C$250 million (US$184
million). These transactions are subject to the execution of a
definitive agreement and the receipt of certain regulatory
approvals and are expected to close by mid-1996. The sale is
expected to result in a gain for Pennzoil. The sale includes
840,000 net acres of land, 75 percent of which is
undeveloped. The properties to be sold, which are located in
Alberta and northwestern British Columbia, include net proved
reserves of approximately 35 million barrels ("MMbbls") of oil
equivalent and are currently producing approximately 5 thousand
barrels ("Mbbls") per day of liquids and 33 million cubic feet
("MMcf") per day of natural gas, net of royalties.
In April 1996, Pennzoil entered into a definitive agreement to
sell approximately half of its interest in the Azeri-Chirag-
Gunashli ("ACG") joint development unit offshore Azerbaijan in the
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 6
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued
Caspian Sea to ITOCHU Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. ("ITOCHU"), a
subsidiary of the Japanese general trading company ITOCHU Corp. As
part of the transaction, ITOCHU will fund all of Pennzoil's future
obligations in the ACG project until all such expenditures and
accrued interest are recovered from Pennzoil's share of production
from the ACG unit. ITOCHU will pay Pennzoil approximately $132
million for a 5 percent working interest in the ACG unit and the
right to receive 51 percent of the payments due Pennzoil for
reimbursement of costs incurred in developing a gas utilization
project for the Gunashli Field. Pennzoil will retain a 4.8175
percent working interest in the ACG unit after ITOCHU has recovered
its expenditures and accrued interest for payments made on
Pennzoil's behalf. Cash payments to Pennzoil will be made in three
installments. The first payment of about $90 million is due at
closing, which is expected to occur around mid-1996. Subsequent
installments of $22 million and $20 million are due at first
production (projected in late 1997) and when the project reaches
production of 200 Mbbls of oil equivalents per day (projected in
approximately four years), respectively. No gain or loss is
expected from this transaction as proceeds from the sale will be
applied to reduce Pennzoil's net investment in the ACG project.
In addition to its interest in the ACG unit, Pennzoil retains a
30 percent interest in a definitive exploration, development and
production sharing contract covering the Karabakh prospect, also
located in the Caspian Sea. The Karabakh agreement was ratified by
the Azerbaijan Parliament in February 1996.
In the first quarter of 1996, Pennzoil substantially completed
its asset highgrading program and the related disposition of
noncore oil and gas assets commenced in 1992. Proceeds from the
first quarter 1996 sales of assets totaled $88.1 million. Gains or
losses on such sales during the first quarter of 1996 were
insignificant.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $15.8
million, or $.34 per share, compared to $2.7 million, or $.06 per
share, for the same period in 1995. The increase in earnings for
the first quarter of 1996, compared to the prior year, was
primarily attributable to higher results from the oil and gas
segment and lower overall general and administrative expenses.
These increases were partially offset by lower other income as a
result of a prior year Texas franchise tax refund.
Oil and Gas
Operating income from this segment was $49.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared with $12.9 million for the
same period in 1995. The increase in operating income was
primarily due to higher natural gas prices, lower operating and
general and administrative expenses, and lower depreciation,
depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense. The lower DD&A
expense experienced in the first quarter of 1996 was primarily
attributable to lower DD&A rates as a result of the July 1, 1995
write-down of assets associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (described below), and to a
decrease in natural gas and liquids volume. Operating costs per
barrel of oil equivalent produced, excluding DD&A and exploration
expense, decreased $.60 compared to the same period in 1995.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 7
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued
Natural gas price realizations averaged $1.79 per thousand
cubic feet ("Mcf") for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to $1.40 per Mcf for the same period in 1995. Natural gas
volumes produced for sale for the three months ended March 31, 1996
were 559.8 MMcf per day compared to 682.3 MMcf per day for the same
period in 1995. Liquids production volumes were 60.4 Mbbls per day
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 73.3 Mbbls
per day for the same period in 1995.
Effective July 1, 1995, Pennzoil adopted the
requirements of SFAS No. 121 which, in certain instances, specifies
that the carrying values of assets be written down to fair values.
For Pennzoil, this resulted in write-downs of proved oil and gas
properties that were not required under its prior impairment
policy. The pretax charge for the asset impairment of Pennzoil's
proved oil and gas properties was $378.9 million.
In April 1996, Pennzoil signed a letter of intent with Gulf
Canada providing for (i) the establishment of a joint venture for
the development of natural gas reserves in the Zama area of
northern Alberta and (ii) the sale by Pennzoil of its remaining,
non-strategic Canadian oil and gas assets to Gulf Canada for
approximately C$250 million (US$184 million). These transactions
are subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and the
receipt of certain regulatory approvals and are expected to
close by mid-1996. The sale is expected to result in a
gain for Pennzoil. The sale includes 840,000 net acres of land,
75 percent of which is undeveloped. The properties to be
sold, which are located in Alberta and northwestern British
Columbia, include net proved reserves of approximately 35 MMbbls of
oil equivalent and are currently producing approximately 5 Mbbls
barrels per day of liquids and 33 MMcf per day of natural gas, net
of royalties.
In April 1996, Pennzoil entered into a definitive agreement to
sell approximately half of its interest in the ACG joint
development unit offshore Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea to ITOCHU.
As part of the transaction, ITOCHU will fund all of Pennzoil's
future obligations in the ACG project until all such expenditures
and accrued interest are recovered from Pennzoil's share of
production from the ACG unit. ITOCHU will pay Pennzoil
approximately $132 million for a 5 percent working interest in the
ACG unit and the right to receive 51 percent of the payments due
Pennzoil for reimbursement of costs incurred in developing a gas
utilization project for the Gunashli Field. Pennzoil will retain a
4.8175 percent working interest in the ACG unit after ITOCHU has
recovered its expenditures and accrued interest for payments made
on Pennzoil's behalf. Cash payments to Pennzoil will be made in
three installments. The first payment of about $90 million is due
at closing, which is expected to occur around mid-1996. Subsequent
installments of $22 million and $20 million are due at first
production (projected in late 1997) and when the project reaches
production of 200 Mbbls of oil equivalents per day (projected in
approximately four years), respectively. No gain or loss is
expected from this transaction as proceeds from the sale will be
applied to reduce Pennzoil's net investment in the ACG project.
In addition to its interest in the ACG unit, Pennzoil retains a
30 percent interest in a definitive exploration, development and
production sharing contract covering the Karabakh prospect, also
located in the Caspian Sea. The Karabakh agreement was ratified by
the Azerbaijan Parliament in February 1996.
In the first quarter of 1996, Pennzoil substantially completed
its asset highgrading program and the related disposition of
noncore oil and gas assets commenced in 1992. Proceeds from the
first quarter 1996 sales of assets totaled $88.1 million. Gains or
losses on such sales during the first quarter of 1996 were
insignificant.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued
Motor Oil & Refined Products
Operating income from this segment was $14.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared with $14.3 million for the
same period in 1995. This slight increase in operating income from
the comparable period in 1995 was primarily attributable to higher
motor oil and other lubricating product margins. These increases
were partially offset by higher manufacturing expenses, and pre-
operating expenses related to Excel Paralubes. Excel Paralubes is
the joint venture partnership with Conoco, Inc. for construction
and operation of a new lube base oil plant near Lake Charles,
Louisiana. Completion of the plant and initial startup is expected
before year-end.
Franchise Operations
The franchise operations segment recorded operating income of
$4.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared with a
loss of $.1 million for the same period in 1995. Results for the
first quarter of 1995 included a $6.0 million litigation settlement
charge. After adjusting for nonrecurring charges, operating income
was slightly down primarily due to the impact of severe winter
weather in the northeastern part of the United States where Jiffy
Lube has a high concentration of company centers, and start-up
costs associated with the opening of new centers during the
quarter.
Domestic systemwide sales reported on Jiffy Lube centers for
the first quarter of 1996 increased $12.3 million to $164.8
million, compared with the first quarter of 1995. Average ticket
prices increased to $34.76 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
compared with $34.30 for the first quarter of 1995. There were
1,229 domestic lube centers (including 484 Jiffy Lube company
operated centers) open as of March 31, 1996.
The Sears Auto Center program continues to expand, with 42
fast-oil change units open in Sears centers throughout the system,
including 37 company operated and 5 franchised operated units.
Jiffy Lube expects to open approximately 160 fast-oil change units
in Sears centers by year-end and has committed to open a total of
254 units in the program.
Other
Other operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
was $15.5 million, compared with $41.1 million for the same period
in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to a 1995 favorable
resolution of a Texas franchise tax issue, which resulted in
Pennzoil receiving a $24.7 million refund which included $1.5
million in interest.
Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
decreased $0.9 million from the same period in 1995 primarily due
to lower interest rates.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash Flow. As of March 31, 1996, Pennzoil had cash and cash
equivalents of $34.0 million. During the three months ended March
31, 1996, Pennzoil's cash and cash equivalents increased $10.4
million. Cash flows from operating activities totaled $33.4
million during the first quarter of 1996.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 9
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued
Pennzoil's other income includes dividend income of $9.0
million during the three months ended March 31, 1996 from its
investment in common stock of Chevron Corporation.
Price Risk Management. Pennzoil has a price risk management
program that permits utilization of agreements and financial
instruments (such as futures, forward and option contracts and
swaps and collars) to reduce the price risks associated with
fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. The primary
purpose of the program, as it relates to 1996 crude oil and natural
gas production, is to help provide Pennzoil with sufficient cash
from operations in 1996 to fund its capital spending program
without increasing debt. As of March 31, 1996, Pennzoil had
entered into transactions that committed an average of
approximately 273 MMcf per day of natural gas for the remainder of
1996 to be sold at fixed prices (New York Mercantile Exchange
("NYMEX")-based) ranging from $1.73 to $2.93 per Mcf, with a
weighted average price of $1.80 per Mcf, and Pennzoil had entered
into transactions that committed an average of approximately 37
Mbbls per day of crude oil for the remainder of 1996 to be sold at
fixed prices (NYMEX-based) ranging from $16.75 per barrel to $17.72
per barrel, with a weighted average price of $17.02 per barrel.
Pennzoil will constantly review and may alter its hedged positions
as conditions change.
