FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Suncor Energy finishes 2005 with strong fourth quarter results

Stage set for record oil production in 2006

 

All financial figures are unaudited and in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation. Certain financial measures referred to in this document are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For a description of these measures, see “Non GAAP Financial Measures” in this document. This document makes reference to barrels of oil equivalent (boe). A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas: one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Accordingly, boe measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Base operations refer to oil sands mining and upgrading operations.

 

Calgary, Alberta (January 26, 2006) – Suncor Energy Inc. today announced 2005 earnings of $1.245 billion ($2.73 per common share), an increase from $1.088 billion ($2.40 per common share) in 2004. Excluding the effects of unrealized foreign exchange gains on the company’s U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt, 2005 net earnings were $1.214 billion ($2.66 per common share) compared to $1.020 billion ($2.25 per common share) in 2004. Cash flow from operations in 2005 was $2.476 billion compared to $2.013 billion in 2004.

 

Net earnings in 2005 compared to 2004 reflect higher benchmark crude oil and natural gas prices, the receipt of insurance payments relating to a January 2005 fire at Suncor’s oil sands facilities and lower hedging losses. These positive impacts were largely offset by lower production due to the impact of the fire, higher maintenance expenses, higher energy costs in the oil sands operation and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar. The increase in cash flow from operations in 2005 compared to 2004 was due to the same factors that impacted net earnings.

 

“We got past a difficult start to 2005 and had a strong finish to the year by making major progress on our growth plans and achieving record quarterly production in the fourth quarter,” said Rick George, president and chief executive officer. “We are well positioned to carry that momentum into a strong 2006.”

 

2005 Overview

 

                  In September, Suncor completed rebuilding portions of its oil sands facility damaged in a January fire, returning to full production capacity.

 

                  In October, Suncor successfully commissioned an expansion of its oil sands facilities, increasing production capacity to 260,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the previous capacity of 225,000 bpd. The expansion was completed on schedule and on budget at a total cost of approximately $450 million(1). Work throughout 2005 to further increase production capacity to a planned 350,000 bpd in 2008 continued on schedule and on budget.

 

                  Suncor’s combined oil sands and natural gas production in 2005 was 206,100 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, compared to 263,300 boe per day in 2004. Oil sands production

averaged 171,300 bpd in 2005, compared to 226,500 bpd in 2004. Natural gas production averaged 190 million cubic feet (mmcf) per day, about 10% below target due to unplanned maintenance, and to weather related drilling delays that impacted the western Canadian industry. In 2004, Suncor produced an average 200 mmcf of natural gas per day.

 

                  By mid-October 2005, all bitumen production from Suncor’s in-situ operations was being upgraded to higher-value synthetic crude products.

 

                  Cash operating costs from oil sands base operations averaged $19.50 per barrel during 2005 compared to $11.95 per barrel in 2004. The increase in 2005 was primarily due to fixed operating costs being spread over lower production volumes, higher maintenance related expenses and the impact of higher natural gas costs.

 

                  Suncor continued to advance plans to modify both its Sarnia and Commerce City refineries to meet low-sulphur fuels regulations and to enable the facilities to process higher volumes of oil sands sour crude blends. The Commerce City facility was expanded in May with the acquisition of a neighbouring refinery from Valero Energy Corporation.

 

                  Refining margins averaged 7.6 cents per litre (cpl) for Canadian operations and 9.0 cpl for U.S. operations. This compares to 8.0 cpl for Canadian operations and 6.7 cpl for U.S. operations during 2004. Retail gasoline margins averaged 5.1 cpl for both Canadian and U.S. operations in 2005, compared to 4.4 cpl for Canadian operations and 5.4 cpl for U.S. operations the year before.

 

                  Maintaining a strong balance sheet remained a priority in 2005. Despite the impact of costs associated with the fire recovery and a $2.8 billion capital spending program, Suncor’s net debt (including cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2005 was $2.9 billion (approximately 1.2 times cash flow from operations).  Year-end net debt in 2004 was $2.2 billion (approximately 1.1 times cash flow from operations).

 

                  Suncor achieved a company-wide return on capital employed of 20.9% in 2005 (excluding capitalized costs for major projects in progress), compared to 19% in 2004.

 


(1)        Generally, when projects receive final Board of Directors approval, cost estimates have a range of uncertainty of -10% / +10% or similar range. These ranges establish an expected high and low capital cost estimate for a project. When Suncor says that a project is completed “on budget”, it means the final project capital cost falls within the range of uncertainty for the project.

 

Fourth Quarter 2005

 

Suncor’s net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $694 million ($1.52 per common share) compared to $333 million ($0.73 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2004. Excluding the effects of unrealized foreign exchange gains on the company’s U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt, fourth quarter net earnings were $698 million ($1.53 per common share) compared to $283 million ($0.62 per common share) during the fourth quarter, 2004. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $1.226 billion, compared to $524 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Net earnings increased in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 due to increased production, higher benchmark crude oil and natural gas prices, the receipt of fire insurance proceeds and lower hedging losses, partially offset by higher maintenance related costs, higher energy costs in our oil sands operation and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar. The increase in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 was due to the same factors that impacted net earnings.

 

Suncor’s combined oil sands and natural gas production for the fourth quarter was 302,700 boe per day, compared to 258,600 boe per day in the same period of 2004. Oil sands production in the fourth quarter averaged 267,700 bpd at a cash operating cost of $18.00 per barrel for base operations. In 2004, fourth quarter production averaged 222,500 bpd at a cash operating cost of $13.20 per barrel for base operations. Natural gas production averaged 193 mmcf per day in the fourth quarter of 2005, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

In the downstream, fourth quarter refining margins averaged 9.0 cpl for Canadian operations and 10.4 cpl for U.S. operations. This compares to 7.9 cpl for Canadian operations and 7.7 cpl for U.S. operations during the fourth quarter of 2004. Retail gasoline margins averaged 6.4 cpl for Canadian operations and 5.4 cpl for U.S. operations. This compares to 4.5 cpl for Canadian operations and 6.0 cpl for U.S. operations in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

Outlook

 

“In the year ahead, Suncor intends to continue our proven strategy of staged resource development, expanding upgrading capacity and extending our reach into the North American market,” said George.

 

Suncor’s outlook provides management’s targets for 2006 in certain key areas of the company’s business. Outlook targets are subject to change.

(1)          The 260,000 bpd target consists entirely of synthetic crude oil barrels. Suncor’s current plans call for all bitumen produced by the company to be upgraded to synthetic crude oil. However, Suncor-produced bitumen may be sold directly to the market depending on certain market or operational conditions.

(2)          Suncor is still gaining experience in operating facilities that were newly commissioned in late 2005. As a result, there is more uncertainty in providing 2006 targets than in previous years, especially as it relates to sour crude volumes.

 

(3)          Previously, Suncor reported separate cash operating cost calculations for base operations (mining and upgrading) and in-situ bitumen production (see “Non GAAP Financial Measures” for 2005 details). For 2006, cash operating cost projections and results will reflect combined costs for both mining and in-situ operations. Cash operating costs also now include approximately $1.50 per barrel for research and development and self-insurance program costs. In prior years, these costs were not included in cash or total operating costs.

 

Cash operating costs are sensitive to natural gas prices. The estimate of $16.00 to $16.75 per barrel assumes a natural gas price of US$6.75 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) at Henry Hub. For every U.S. dollar increase in natural gas price per mcf, Suncor expects a $0.50 per barrel increase in operating costs, assuming all other factors remain unchanged. Cash operating costs per barrel are not prescribed by GAAP. This non GAAP financial measure does not have any standardized meaning and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Suncor includes this non GAAP financial measure because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance. Accordingly, we will also continue to provide cash operating cost calculations for Firebag in-situ operations. This information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Non GAAP Financial Measures”.

 

Factors that could potentially impact Suncor’s financial performance in 2006 include:

 

                  Final timing of the settlement and payment of insurance proceeds related to the January 2005 oil sands fire. There is no specific schedule for the balance of the payments.

 

                  Crude oil hedges. At December 31, 2005, Suncor had entered into previously announced crude oil hedging agreements for 7,000 bpd during 2006 and 2007. In January 2006, the company entered into additional hedging agreements bringing total hedged crude oil production to 25,000 bpd for the remainder of 2006 and 2007. These hedge agreements lock in a minimum price of US$50 per barrel WTI while allowing participation in higher crude prices to an average of approximately US$91 per barrel. Suncor will consider future hedges of up to 30% of crude oil production if strategic opportunities are available.

 

                  Planned maintenance work and tie-in of modified facilities at Suncor’s Sarnia and Commerce City refineries. Should the work take longer than planned or be impacted by labour or material supply issues, capital costs and refined product sales could be impacted.

Non GAAP Financial Measures

 

Suncor includes cash and total operating cost per barrel data, return on capital employed (ROCE) and cash flow from operations because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity. The additional information may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Cash flow from operations is expressed before changes in non-cash working capital. A reconciliation of net earnings to cash flow from operations is provided in the schedules of segmented data, which are an integral part of the company’s fourth quarter financial statements.

 

The following table outlines the reconciliation of oil sands cash and total operating costs to expenses included in the schedules of segmented data in the company’s fourth quarter 2005 financial statements. Amounts for base and in-situ operations reconcile to the schedules of segmented data when combined.

Return on Capital Employed

 

Net earnings (2005 – $1.245 billion; 2004 – $1.088 billion) adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (2005 – income of $16 million; 2004 – expense of $1 million) for the twelve month period ended; divided by average capital employed (2005 – $5.876 billion; 2004 – $5.721 billion). Average capital employed is the sum of shareholders’ equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning and end of the year, divided by two, less average annual capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable).  For more detail on how ROCE is calculated, see page 51 of Suncor’s 2004 Annual Report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1.              Accounting Policies

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as, and should be read in conjunction with, the most recent annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes as described in note 2, Changes in Accounting Policies.

 

In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly Suncor Energy Inc.’s (Suncor) financial position at December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Certain prior period comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

2.              Changes in Accounting Policies

(a) Preferred Securities

On January 1, 2005 the company retroactively adopted the Canadian accounting standard related to disclosure and presentation of financial instruments. Accordingly, the company’s preferred securities, which were redeemed in March, 2004, have been reclassified as long-term debt. The company has also restated its property, plant and equipment and depreciation, depletion and amortization to reflect the capitalized interest that would have been incurred and amortized had the preferred securities been classified as debt during the period in which they were outstanding. The impact of adopting this accounting standard is as follows:

(b) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

On January 1, 2005 the company prospectively adopted Canadian Accounting Guideline 15 — “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)”.  Accordingly, the company has consolidated the VIE related to the sale of equipment as described in note 11(c) of the company’s 2004 Annual Report. The impact of adopting this standard was an increase to property, plant and equipment of $14 million, an increase to materials and supplies inventory of $8 million and an increase to long-term debt of $22 million.

 

3.              Energy Marketing and Trading Activities

The company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options to gain market information and earn trading and marketing revenues.  The results of these activities are reported as revenue and as energy marketing and trading expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

 

Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to enhance prices and satisfy physical deliveries to customers.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2005 these activities resulted in a net pretax gain of $5 million (2004 – pretax gain $5 million).  For the year ended December 31, 2005 physical energy marketing contracts resulted in a net pretax gain of $15 million (2004 – pretax gain of $12 million).

 

In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company also enters into various financial energy contracts for trading activities. The following information presents all positions for the financial instruments only.  These energy trading activities are accounted for using the mark-to-market method and as such all financial instruments are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, a net pretax gain of $1 million (2004 - pretax gain $2 million) resulted from the settlement and revaluation of the financial energy contracts.  For the year ended December 31, 2005 a net pretax gain of $5 million (2004 – pretax gain $11 million) was recorded.  The above amounts do not include the impact of related general and administrative costs.

 

The fair value of unsettled (unrealized) energy trading assets and liabilities as at December 31 are as follows:

(a) For the year ended December 31, 2004, diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares.  Interest on subordinated debentures, the revaluation of US$ subordinated debentures and the redemption of subordinated debentures by the issuance of common shares have an anti-dilutive impact, therefore they are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

(b) Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted-average number of common shares.

 

(c) Diluted earnings per share is the net earnings, divided by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares.

 



 

6.              Stock-based Compensation

 

A common share option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase common shares at a predetermined price over a specified period of time.

 

After the date of grant, employees that hold options must earn the right to exercise them. This is done by the employee fulfilling a time requirement for service to the company, and with respect to certain options, is subject to accelerated vesting should the company meet predetermined performance criteria. Once this right has been earned, these options are considered vested.

 

The predetermined price at which an option can be exercised is equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted.

 

A performance vesting share unit is an award entitling employees to receive cash to varying degrees contingent upon Suncor’s shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies.

 

(a) Stock option plans

 

Under the SunShare long-term incentive plan, the company granted 262,000 options to new employees in the fourth quarter of 2005, for a total of 1,253,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2005 (290,000 options granted during the fourth quarter of 2004; 1,742,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2004).

 

On January 31, 2005, in connection with the achievement of a predetermined performance criterion, 2,062,000 SunShare options vested, representing approximately 25% of the then outstanding unvested options under the SunShare plan.  On June 30, 2005, we met an additional predetermined performance criterion under the Sunshare plan, resulting in the vesting of 50% of the outstanding, unvested Sunshare options on April 30, 2008. As we had been accruing the costs of these options, the impact on net earnings for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2005 was not significant.

 

Under the company’s other plans, 1,000 options were granted in the fourth quarter of 2005, for a total of 1,419,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2005 (61,000 options granted during the fourth quarter of 2004; 1,346,000 granted in the year ended December 31, 2004).

 

The fair values of all common share options granted during the period are estimated as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted during the various periods and the weighted-average assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005 related to stock options plans was $7 million (2004 - $6 million).  For the year ended December 31, 2005 stock-based compensation expense recognized was $23 million (2004 - $25 million).

 

Common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 are not recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company’s reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders and earnings per share prepared in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation would have been reduced for all common share options granted prior to 2003 to the pro forma amounts stated below:

9.              Variable Interest Entities

 

The company has a securitization program in place to sell, on a revolving, fully serviced and limited recourse basis, accounts receivable having a maturity of 45 days or less, to a third-party.  The third-party is a multiple party securitization vehicle that provides funding for numerous asset pools.  The securitization program was increased to $340 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 from $170 million in the third quarter of 2005.  As at December 31, 2005, the program was fully utilized.

 

10.  Credit Facilities

 

During the second quarter of 2005, the company entered into a new $600 million credit facility agreement.  The new facility is fully revolving for 364 days and expires in 2006.  During the third quarter of 2005, the company renewed $200 million of its available credit and term loan facilities.  At December 31, 2005, the company had available facilities as follows:

 

($millions)

 

Facility that is fully revolving for 364 days and expires in 2006

 

600

 

Facility that is fully revolving for 364 days, has a term period of one year and expires in 2007

As at December 31, 2005, undrawn lines of credit were approximately $1,255 million.

 

11.  Alberta Crown Royalties

 

Alberta Crown royalties in effect for each Oil Sands project require payments to the Government of Alberta based on annual gross revenues less related transportation costs (R) less allowable costs (C), including the deduction of certain capital expenditures (the 25% R-C royalty), subject to a minimum payment of 1% of R.  Firebag is being treated by the government of Alberta as a separate project from the rest of the Oil Sands operations for royalty purposes.  The 2004 calendar year was a transitional year for Oil Sands as the remaining amount of prior years’ allowable costs carried forward of approximately $600 million were claimed before the 25% R-C royalty applied to 2004 results.

 

Royalty expense for the company’s Oil Sands operations for the fourth quarter was $89 million (2004 - $118 million).  For the year ended December 31, 2005 Crown royalty expense was $406 million (2004 - $407 million).

 



 

12.  Acquisition of Refinery and Related Assets

 

On May 31, 2005, the company acquired all of the issued shares of the Colorado Refining Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Valero for cash consideration of $37 million.  Additional payments for working capital and associated inventory brought the total purchase price to $62 million.  The acquired company’s principal assets are a Denver refinery and a products terminal located in Grand Junction, Colorado.  The allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $79 million for property, plant and equipment, $30 million for inventory, and $41 million for environmental liabilities assumed.  The fair value assigned to other liabilities was $6 million.  The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

 

The results of operations for these assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The new operations have been reported as part of the Refining and Marketing – U.S.A. segment in the Schedules of Segmented Data.

 

13.  Subsequent Event

 

In January, 2006, the Company determined that an additional $175 million in proceeds related to its business interruption insurance coverage were unconditionally received or receivable. The proceeds related to business activity during 2005 and have accordingly been recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 


(1) Cash flow from operations for the period; divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

(2) Net earnings (2005 - $1,245 million; 2004 - $1,088 million) adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (2005 - income of $16 million; 2004 - expense of $1 million) for the twelve month period ended; divided by average capital employed (2005 - $5,876 million; 2004 - $5,721million).  Average capital employed is the sum of shareholders’ equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning and end of the year, divided by two, less average capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable).  Return on capital employed (ROCE) for Suncor operating segments as presented in the Quarterly Operating Summary is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated ROCE.  For a detailed reconciliation of ROCE prepared on an annual basis, see page 51 of Suncor’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

(3) If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2005 -$8,051 million; 2004 - $6,775 million), the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

 

(4) Short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by cash flow from operations for the twelve month period then ended.

 

(5) Net earnings plus income taxes and interest expense, divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

 

(6) Cash flow from operations plus current income taxes and interest expense; divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

 

(7) Short-term debt plus long-term debt; divided by the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and shareholders’ equity.

Suncor Energy Inc.

Quarterly Operating Summary (continued)
(unaudited)

 

Non GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain financial measures referred to in the Highlights and Quarterly Operating Summary are not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Suncor includes cash flow from operations, return on capital employed and cash and total operating costs per barrel data because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity.  The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Definitions

 

(1) Total Production

 

In the fourth quarter of 2005, base operations production included barrels from both mining and in-situ operations that were upgraded. Firebag production reported in the operating summary includes all in-situ production irrespective of whether it was upgraded or sold to third parties. As such these production figures as reported in the operating summary are not additive in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

 

 

(2) Average sales price

 

This operating statistic is calculated before royalties and net of related transportation costs (including or excluding the impact of hedging activities as noted).

 

 

 

(3) Cash operating costs - Base operations

 

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense, taxes other than income taxes and the cost of bitumen imported from third parties. Per barrel amounts are based on production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities.

 

 

 

(4) Total cash operating costs - Base operations

 

Include cash operating costs - Base operations as defined above and cash start-up costs for in-situ operations. Per barrel amounts are based on all production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities.

 

 

 

(5) Total operating costs - Base operations

 

Include total cash operating costs - Base operations as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on all production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities.

 

 

 

(6) Cash operating costs - Firebag

 

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense and taxes other than income taxes. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes.

 

 

 

(7) Total operating costs - Firebag

 

Include cash operating costs - Firebag as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes.

 

 

 

(8) Refining margin

 

This operating statistic is calculated as the average wholesale unit price from all products less average unit cost of crude oil.

 

 

 

(9) Retail margin

 

This operating statistic is calculated as the average street price of Sunoco (Energy, Marketing and Refining—Canada) and Phillips 66-branded (Refining and Marketing-U.S.A.) retail gasoline net of federal excise tax, as applicable, and other adjustments, less refining gasoline transfer price.

 

 

 

 


Explanatory Notes

*

 

Excludes the impact of hedging activities.

**

 

Currently all Natural Gas production is located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

***

 

Excludes exploratory wells in progress.

****

 

If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress, the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

 

(a)  thousands of barrels per day

(b)  dollars per barrel

(c)  dollars per barrel rounded to the nearest $0.05

(d)  millions of cubic feet per day

(e)  thousands of barrels of oil equivalent per day

(f)  dollars per thousand cubic feet

(g)  thousands of cubic metres per day

(h)  cents per litre

(i)  $ millions

(j)  percentage

 

Metric conversion

Crude oil, refined products, etc.
