petroleum product sales were 7.2 million barrels per day
• Exxon Mobil leads the petrochemical industry with interests in 49
wholly-owned and joint-venture facilities around the world
• Diversified revenue stream helps to reduce exposure to economic
conditions or political stability in any one country or region
• The net profit of the company increased at a CAGR of 16% during
FY2004-FY2009, from $25.3 billion in FY2004 to $45.2 billion in
FY2009. The net profit increased by 11.4% in FY2009 over FY2008

 Weakness…
• In October 2008, the company was fined by the European Commission along
with eight other petrochemical companies for price fixing of paraffin wax
• Exxon Mobil was fined E83.6 million (approximately $123 million)
• Exxon Mobil's neglect has contaminated the soil, groundwater, tidal water,
and sediment of San Francisco Bay. The suit demands that Exxon clean the
site and pay the damages
• The workers of Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN), an affiliate of Exxon Mobil,
went on a strike in April 2008 over pay and working conditions
• Such employee actions adversely affect the operations of the company and
result in decline in the productivity.
• The upstream division in the US has recorded a consistent decline in its
production volumes
• The crude oil and natural gas liquid production volumes in the region have
been declining since FY2005

 Opportunities…
• Over the next 10 years, the company expects about 60%
percent of the world’s petrochemical demand growth to
occur in Asia, with more than one-third in China alone
• ExxonMobil is currently participating in building the Golden
Pass LNG regasification terminal on the US Gulf Coast, with
a planned capacity of about 2 billion cubic feet per day.
• Exxon Mobil plans to invest between $25 billion to $30
billion annually over the next five years to deliver major
projects to meet growing world energy demand
• The demand for global energy is expected to increase
approximately 35% from 2005 to 2030.

11
 Threat…
• A weak economic outlook for these regions could depress
industrial development and impact the demand for the company’s
products
• The company might experience fluctuations in exchange rates,
complex regulatory requirements, and restrictions on its ability to
repatriate investments and earnings from its foreign operations
• The company might also face changes in the political or economic
conditions in the foreign countries it operates in
• Such instabilities could negatively impact the revenue growth of
the company
• Introduction of the Kyoto Protocol for the reduction of greenhouse
gases. The protocol calls on industrialized countries to reduce
their greenhouse gas emissions level by 5.2% on an average
annual basis during the 2008-12 period
