The term “earnings” is defined as net income attributable to Chevron. Prior years’ data have been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the 2023 presentation basis.Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
