Phillips 66's 2024 10-K reflects completion of its DCP LP acquisition, removing two risks specific to that transaction while adding a new focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) target achievement. The majority of risk factor changes (12 out of 33 total modifications) involved substantive updates rather than wholesale additions or removals, suggesting refinement of existing risk disclosures across operational, regulatory, and strategic areas. Key modified risks now emphasize contingent liabilities from the ConocoPhillips separation, joint venture management constraints, and societal/political risks to expansion plans.

🟡 Modified We are subject to continuing contingent liabilities of ConocoPhillips following the separation. Further, ConocoPhillips has indemnified us for certain matters, but may not be able to satisfy its obligations to us in the future. 🔒
🟡 Modified Our investments in joint ventures decrease our ability to manage risk. 🔒
🟡 Modified Plans we or our joint ventures may have to expand or construct assets or develop new technologies, and plans for our future performance are subject to risks associated with societal and political pressures and other forms of opposition to the future development, transportation and use of petroleum-based fuels. Such risks could adversely impact our business and results of operations. 🔒

🟡 Modified There are certain environmental hazards and risks inherent in our operations that could adversely affect those operations and our financial results. 🔒
🟡 Modified Societal, technological, political and scientific developments around emissions and fuel efficiency may decrease demand for traditional transportation fuels. 🔒
🟡 Modified Large capital-intensive projects can take many years to complete, and the political and regulatory environments or market conditions could deteriorate significantly between the project approval date and the project startup date, negatively impacting expected project returns. 🔒
🟡 Modified Market conditions, including volatile commodity prices, margins and demand for refined petroleum, petrochemical and plastics products, impact our earnings, financial condition and cash flows. 🔒
🟡 Modified Continuing political and social concerns about climate change and other Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters may result in changes to our business and significant expenditures, including litigation-related expenses. 🔒
🟡 Modified Cybersecurity incidents and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer. 🔒
🟡 Modified Negative sentiment towards fossil fuels and increased attention to environmental and social matters, including climate change, could adversely affect our business, the market price for our common stock and our access to and cost of capital. 🔒
🟡 Modified Political and economic developments could affect our operations and materially reduce our profitability and cash flows. 🔒
