Findings

structure · concentration · cost lever
  • Downstream is huge by revenue (~$132bn) but wafer-thin (~2% net) — a wide, flat bar.
  • Upstream is smaller (~$56bn) but fat (~23% net) — the real profit engine; its area wins.
  • Net is reported per segment; pre-tax = net + tax and gross = revenue − cost are derived. Segment operating income isn't tagged, so EBIT/EBITDA are deliberately left off (they can't be built reliably).
  • Revenue is intersegment-cleaned (operating − internal). A region view (US vs non-US) is on the next slide.

Segment walk — two options

Two stages for the same verified walk (CVX: 3 segments · Revenue, Gross profit, Pre-tax, Net income · Geographical). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.
o1
Option 1 — walk + interpretation
The walk takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance sit on the right. One page, one argument — the switches carry the depth.
b09-60-40
o2
Option 2 — walk left, build-up right
Two equal fields: the walk on the left, the per-segment contribution table on the right. Picture and arithmetic side by side.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — Revenue, by segment, vs FY−1: group revenue moved 193.4 → 184.4bn (-9.0bn) between FY24 and FY25. The switches change the view, not these numbers.
  • Upstream carried the move: 14.9 → 56.5bn (+41.6bn). Next was Downstream at -16.1bn.
  • Named segments explain +25.5bn of the -9.0bn; the residual -34.5bn is corporate and intersegment eliminations — the walk closes on the reported group figure.
  • Ladder levels this firm actually tags: Revenue, Gross profit, Pre-tax, Net income; second lens available and reconciling: Geographical.

Segment values from the SEC EDGAR segment axis, operating rows only (OperatingSegments preferred over bare members to avoid double-counting; aggregation artifacts skipped). Volume/margin split is order-neutral: vol = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁), margin = ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm. Group anchor from the consolidated P&L (kpi).

Driver walk — two variants

Two stages for the same verified walk (CVX: Gross profit, Pre-tax, Net income · 6 FY). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.

Variant 1 — bridge + interpretation
The bridge takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance on the right. The switches carry the depth: level, scale, detail, method, window.

$bn / pp
27.5−1.05.7−12.719.6FY2427.5VolumeCost ofrevenueOpex &non-oper-atingFY2519.6

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — Gross profit, by driver, $bn, vs FY−1: gross profit moved 74.2 → 76.2bn (+2.0bn) from FY24 to FY25.
  • Split: volume -3.7bn (revenue 193.4 → 184.4bn) against margin +5.7bn (margin 38.4% → 41.3%, +3.0pp) — the margin decided it.
  • Margin drivers: Cost of revenue +5.72bn.
  • Levels available for this firm: Gross profit, Pre-tax, Net income. Windows: vs FY−1 … FY−3.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts (annual durations only). Driver contribution of a cost step = −Rev₀·Δ(step/Rev); tagged sub-lines are itemised and reconcile to the step. Volume/margin: margin-first = Δrev·m₁ and r₀·Δm; Shapley = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁) and ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm — both sum exactly to ΔP. In pp scale the volume effect is zero by construction.

Operating walk — three separate analyses

Three separate analyses (CVX: Gross profit · 6 FY). Every bridge closes exactly on the reported figure; what the firm does not tag is visibly switched off.
1
Operating — the same move, two readings
The bridge to operating profit, switchable between cost drivers and segments. The bracket between driver and segment walk: WHAT moved and WHO moved, one anchor.
b09-60-40
2
Financing & tax — from EBIT to the bottom line
Non-operating result, then tax separated into the rate effect and the higher-base effect — together they equal the tax change exactly.

Restructuring, impairments, disposals, acquisition costs — only what the firm actually tags. Nothing tagged is a finding too.

$bn
74.2−3.75.776.2FY2474.2VolumeCost ofrevenueFY2576.2

Findings, method and provenance

  • Operating. Gross profit 74.2 → 76.2bn (+2.0bn). The same move reads two ways — by cost driver or by segment; both anchor on the reported group figure.
  • Financing & tax. Net income 17.7 → 12.3bn. Effective tax rate 35.5% → 37.1% (+1.6pp): rate effect -0.3bn, tax on the higher base +2.8bn — it was mostly the bigger base.
  • Exceptionals. Asset impairment 0.13bn, Gain/(loss) on disposal 0.40bn — adjusting them out moves the operating result by -0.3bn.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts; segment view from the segment axis (operating rows only). Tax is split rate-versus-base: rate effect = −EBT₁·Δr, base effect = −ΔEBT·r₀ — together they equal the total tax change exactly. Exceptionals cover restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment, disposal gains/losses and acquisition costs, each only where the firm tags it.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Leverage moved up from 0.55× to 1.03× (FY24 → FY25).
  • Split, order-neutral: debt effect +0.39×, EBITDA effect +0.09× — the debt stock did the heavier lifting.
  • Net debt 40.8bn against EBITDA 39.7bn; cash 0.0bn offsets gross debt 40.8bn.
  • On a trailing-twelve-month basis the ratio reads 1.14× at 2026-03-31 — quarterly components are unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1, Q3 = 9M − H1, Q4 = FY − 9M); every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.

Two-factor Shapley decomposition (order-neutral): debt effect = ½·(ND₁−ND₀)·(1/E₀+1/E₁), EBITDA effect = ½·(ND₀+ND₁)·(1/E₁−1/E₀). Source: SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fiscal-year-end instants and full-year flows.

Leverage walk — version 2 of 3

Three layouts of the same verified analysis (CVX, net-debt walk). Same numbers, same Shapley split — only the staging differs. Pick one; the others get removed.

Version 1 — quad
Four equal panels: two-effect bridge · leverage trend · debt vs earnings · findings. Everything on one page; each panel gets a quarter of the stage.
b11-quad
V2
Version 2 — max two charts per slide
Two pages, never more than two charts each. Page one pairs the two-effect bridge with the nested bridge at full size; page two puts the trend beside the growing build-up table.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Return on equity 6.6% (-5.0pp vs FY24).
  • DuPont. margin -2.8pp, asset turnover -2.5pp, equity multiplier +0.3pp — margin did the most work. Margin 9.2% → 6.7%, turnover 0.75 → 0.57×, multiplier 1.69 → 1.74×.
  • Capital returned 24.83bn (buybacks 12.08, dividends 12.75) against free cash flow 16.59bn — 150% of it.

All inputs from the same statement layer as the P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow slides. ROE = net income / equity · ROA = net income / assets · ROIC = EBIT·(1 − effective tax rate) / (equity + debt − cash). DuPont splits ΔROE into margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier using the order-neutral Shapley decomposition for a three-factor product — the three contributions sum to the ROE change exactly.

Discussion, findings and sources

Discussion — what this deck says in four sentences

  • Size and direction. Revenue FY25 184.4bn (-5% vs FY24), net income 12.3bn.
  • Who moved it. 3 segments; the swing came from Upstream at +41.6bn of a -9.0bn group change.
  • What moved it. Gross profit 74.2 → 76.2bn: volume -3.7, margin +5.7bn (38.4% → 41.3%) — the margin decided it.
  • How it is funded. Net debt 40.8bn against EBITDA 39.7bn = 1.03× (prior year 0.55×).

Sources & limitations — including what does not work

Sources
  • SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fully loaded (extend_facts) into p1_CVX.sqlite; annual and quarterly durations separated by period length; segment values from the segment axis.
  • Charts throughout via chartsmcp (never hand-written SVG); slot size = viewBox ÷ k so labels land at 11 px in the deck.
Limitations
  • Statements: 5 fiscal years + 8 quarters. Quarterly values unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1 …); fiscal Q4 is derived, EPS Q4 left blank (not additive).
  • Segments: this firm tags the levels Revenue, Gross profit, Pre-tax, Net income — the filing carries no more; untagged levels are never estimated.
  • Driver walk: no cost step is tagged finely enough to itemise the margin effect — volume against margin is shown instead.
  • LTM series: quarterly EBITDA from unwound quarters; every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.
  • Not included: market data (price, multiples) and macro series — neither is in companyfacts; including them would mean inventing content.
