Item
2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 23, 2008, ConocoPhillips issued a press release announcing the company's financial and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Additional financial and operating information about the quarter is furnished as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The press release contains the following measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP):
We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because, in management's opinion, excluding the second-quarter 2007 charge associated with the complete impairment of our Venezuelan oil interests is a useful indicator of the company's ongoing earnings and earnings per share, and is therefore useful in comparing the Company's results with prior and future periods.
