Adjusted after-tax income and the related measure per diluted share exclude items that management deems to not be reflective of the company’s core operations.  These measures are non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes that these measures provide valuable insight into the company’s core earnings from operations and enable investors and analysts to better compare core operating results with those of other companies by eliminating items that may be unique to the company.  Other companies may define these items differently, and the company cannot assure that adjusted after-tax income is comparable with similarly titled amounts for other companies.

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities and the related measure per share exclude items that management deems to not be reflective of the company’s core operations.  These measures are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures provide valuable insight into the company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations and enable investors and analysts to better compare operating results with those of other companies in the industry. However, similarly titled measures used by other companies may not be determined on the same basis and, therefore, may not be comparable to the measures presented above.

** Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements **

 

The information contained in this table represents Kerr-McGee’s current derivative contracts.  These derivative contracts were entered into based on projected production volume forecasts.  These forecasts are estimated projections that may or may not occur in the future, and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in those documents in which such projections are provided.  Future results and developments set forth in this statement may be affected by numerous uncertainties, factors and risks, such as but not limited to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the statement, the success of the oil and gas exploration and production program, drilling risks, market value of oil and gas, uncertainties in interpreting engineering data, changes in laws and regulations, the ability to respond to challenges in international markets, political or economic conditions, trade and regulatory matters, and other factors and risks identified in the Risk Factors section of Kerr-McGee’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings.  Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in this statement.  Therefore, the information contained in this statement may not be accurate.  Kerr-McGee does not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information.
