Abstract
This case provides financial statement information for six integrated global energy firms. Four of the firms are headquartered in the U.S.-Chevron Texaco Corporation, ConocoPhillips Corporation, ExxonMobile Corporation, Marathon Oil Corporation-and two firms are headquartered in Europe-Statoil in Norway and TOTAL in France. The two years of data presented for each firm includes balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, common-size balance sheets and income statements, as well as selected financial ratios.
Teaching
This case has been used in executive education programs, including oil and gas industry programs, to evaluate cross-sectional differences between the firms and to assess the overall financial performance of the energy industry, using such financial analysis techniques as common-size financial statements and financial ratios. It has also been used in oil and gas programs in a session devoted to analyzing an energy company's financial statements, i.e., time series analysis for a specific company, and to provide cross-sectional comparisons with other companies. It has been used in the financial statement analysis component of an introductory MBA financial accounting class to emphasize cross-sectional and time-series financial statement analysis.
