Phillips 66 Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by Phillips 66 on November 2, 2012. The report addresses Item 8.01 (Other Events) regarding a private placement of senior notes issued in March 2012 and the subsequent requirement to file condensed consolidating financial information in anticipation of a registered exchange offer.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing references the issuance of $5.8 billion in senior notes in March 2012, guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary. The document includes condensed consolidating financial information for Phillips 66, Phillips 66 Company, and non-guarantor subsidiaries as a new Note 22 to the audited financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or current liquidity metrics for the period ending November 2012.
Material Changes
The primary material event is the inclusion of updated audited financial statements as Exhibit 99 to satisfy Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X for the exchange offer. The filing explicitly states that the financial statements do not reflect events occurring after the original filing date of April 5, 2012 (Amendment No. 3 to Form 10).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management notes that the company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement for an exchange offer of the senior notes. The filing advises investors to read this report in conjunction with subsequent SEC filings, as the financial data presented is historical and does not capture post-April 2012 events. No specific forward-looking guidance or new risk factors are detailed in this text.
