In this report, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. This report should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Note that numbers may not add due to rounding.

The term “project” as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same meaning as in any government payment transparency reports.

In this report, unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to “the company” or “Imperial” includes Imperial Oil Limited and its subsidiaries.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as, and should be read in conjunction with, the most recent annual consolidated financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the company’s 2024 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the company, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The company’s exploration and production activities are accounted for under the “successful efforts” method.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the operations to be expected for the full year.

All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

(a)Includes export sales to the United States of $2,791 million (2024 - $2,378 million).

(b)Revenues include both revenue within the scope of ASC 606 and outside the scope of ASC 606. Trade receivables in "Accounts receivable - net" reported on the Consolidated balance sheet include both receivables within the scope of ASC 606 and outside the scope of ASC 606. Revenue and receivables outside the scope of ASC 606 primarily relate to physically settled commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives. Contractual terms, credit quality and type of customer are generally similar between contracts within the scope of ASC 606 and those outside it.    

(c)Capital and exploration expenditures (CAPEX) include exploration expenses, additions to property, plant and equipment, additions to finance leases, additional investments and acquisitions and the company’s share of similar costs for equity companies. CAPEX excludes the purchase of carbon emission credits.

(d)In 2025, benzene and aromatic solvents are reported under the Downstream segment, whereas in 2024, they were reported under the Chemicals segment. The company has determined that the impact of this change is not material; therefore, the comparative period has not been recast.

Investment and other income included gains and losses on asset sales as follows:

The components of net benefit cost were as follows:

The fair value of the company’s financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other appropriate valuation techniques. There are no material differences between the fair value of the company’s financial instruments and the recorded carrying value. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of long-term debt ($3,447 million, excluding finance lease obligations) was primarily a level 2 measurement.

The company’s size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of its business segments reduce the company’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line "Revenues" and in the Consolidated statement of cash flows in "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities". The company’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting.

Credit risk associated with the company’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The company maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.

The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments was:

Realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative instruments recognized in the Consolidated statement of income is included in the following line on a before-tax basis:

The estimated fair value of derivative instruments, and the related hierarchy level for the fair value measurement, were as follows:

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company had $22 million of collateral under a master netting arrangement not offset against the derivatives on the Consolidated balance sheet in “Accounts receivable - net”, primarily related to initial margin requirements.

The company’s common share activities are summarized below:

The following table provides the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share and the dividends declared by the company on its outstanding common shares:

During the first quarter of 2025, the price of crude oil and the Canadian WTI/WCS spread remained relatively flat with the fourth quarter of 2024. Industry refining margins improved versus the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting changes in supply and demand balances.

During 2025, the United States announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Certain tariffs were paused for a period of time but have not been withdrawn. The global trade environment continues to be volatile. The likelihood of the United States, Canada or their trading partners resuming tariffs, imposing new or reciprocal tariffs, export restrictions, or other forms of trade-related sanctions is highly uncertain. Additionally, significant uncertainty exists as to what effects these actions will ultimately have on Imperial, its suppliers and its customers. The company continually monitors the global trade environment and works to mitigate potential impacts.

Price – Average bitumen realizations increased by $8.75 per barrel, primarily driven by the narrowing WTI/WCS spread. Synthetic crude oil realizations increased by $5.28 per barrel, primarily driven by an improved Synthetic/WTI spread.

Other – Primarily due to favourable foreign exchange impacts of about $130 million.

(a)In the first quarter of 2025, Syncrude gross production included about 2 thousand barrels per day of bitumen and other products (2024 - 0 thousand barrels per day) that were exported to the operator's facilities using an existing interconnect pipeline.

Lower production at Kearl was primarily driven by extreme cold weather and unplanned downtime, mitigated by enhanced winter operating procedures.

Higher production at Cold Lake was primarily driven by Grand Rapids solvent-assisted SAGD, partially offset by production and steam cycle timing.

Lower refinery throughput was primarily due to additional maintenance in the company's eastern manufacturing hub.

Cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect higher Upstream realizations and lower unfavourable working capital impacts.

Cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflect lower additions to property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows used in financing activities primarily reflect:

(a)The company did not purchase any shares in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024.

Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, references to the use of derivative instruments and effectiveness of risk mitigation.

Forward-looking statements are based on the company's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions at the time the statements are made. Actual future financial and operating results, including expectations and assumptions concerning future energy demand, supply and mix; production rates, growth and mix across various assets; for shareholder returns, assumptions such as cash flow forecasts, financing sources and capital structure, participation of the company’s majority shareholder and the results of periodic and ongoing evaluation of alternate uses of capital; project plans, timing, costs, technical evaluations and capacities and the company’s ability to effectively execute on these plans and operate its assets, including the Strathcona renewable diesel project, the Leming, Grand Rapids and LASER projects at Cold Lake, and autonomous operations at Kearl; performance of third-party service providers including service providers located outside of Canada; capital and environmental expenditures; the ability to offset any ongoing or renewed inflationary pressures; applicable laws and government policies, including with respect to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions reductions and low carbon fuels; cash generation, financing sources and capital structure, such as dividends and shareholder returns, including the timing and amounts of share repurchases; and commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and general market conditions, could differ materially depending on a number of factors.

These factors include global, regional or local changes in supply and demand for oil, natural gas, petroleum and petrochemical products, feedstocks and other market factors, economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations and resulting demand, price, differential and margin impacts, including Canadian and foreign government action with respect to supply levels, prices, trade tariffs, trade sanctions or trade controls, the occurrence of disruptions in trade or military alliances, or a broader breakdown in global trade; political or regulatory events, including changes in law or government policy, applicable royalty rates, and tax laws including taxes on share repurchases; third-party opposition to company and service provider operations, projects and infrastructure; failure, delay, reduction, revocation or uncertainty regarding supportive policy and market development for the adoption of emerging lower emission energy technologies and other technologies that support emissions reductions; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and third-party approvals, including for new technologies relating to the company’s lower emissions business activities; competition from alternative energy sources and established competitors in such markets; availability and allocation of capital; project management and schedules and timely completion of projects; unanticipated technical or operational difficulties; availability and performance of third-party service providers including those located outside of Canada; environmental risks inherent in oil and gas exploration and production activities; environmental regulation, including climate change and greenhouse gas regulation and changes to such regulation; management effectiveness and disaster response preparedness; operational hazards and risks; cybersecurity incidents including incidents caused by actors employing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence; currency exchange rates; general economic conditions, including inflation and the occurrence and duration of economic recessions or downturns; and other factors discussed in “Item 1A risk factors” and “Item 7 management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” of Imperial’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to Imperial. Imperial’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by its forward-looking statements and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. Imperial undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as required by applicable law.

Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2025, does not differ materially from that discussed on page 35 of the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There has not been any change in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Imperial has elected to use a $1 million (U.S. dollars) threshold for disclosing environmental proceedings.

(a)Excludes 2 percent tax on repurchases of equity.

(b)On June 24, 2024, the company announced by news release that it had received final approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange for a new normal course issuer bid and to continue its existing share purchase program. The program enabled the company to purchase up to a maximum of 26,791,840 common shares during the period June 29, 2024 to June 28, 2025. This maximum included shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid from Exxon Mobil Corporation. As in the past, Exxon Mobil Corporation advised the company that it intended to participate to maintain its ownership percentage at approximately 69.6 percent. The program ended on December 19, 2024 as a result of the company purchasing the maximum allowable number of shares under the program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of the company's directors or officers adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
