Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements | Note A – Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements NATURE OF BUSINESS – Murphy Oil Corporation is an international oil and natural gas exploration and production company that conducts its business through various operating subsidiaries. The Company primarily produces oil and natural gas in the United States and Canada and conducts oil and natural gas exploration activities worldwide. In connection with the LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings, L.L.C., (LLOG) acquisition, we hold a 0.5% interest in two variable interest entities (VIEs), Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral LLC and Delta House Floating Production System (FPS) LLC (collectively Delta House). These VIEs have not been consolidated as Murphy is not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations. As of September 30, 2022, our maximum exposure to loss was $3.2 million (excluding operational impacts), which represents our net investment in Delta House. We have not provided any financial support to Delta House other than amounts previously required by our membership interest. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – In the opinion of Murphy’s management, the unaudited financial statements presented herein include all accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.). In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K report, as certain notes and other pertinent information have been abbreviated or omitted in this report. Financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of future results.
