Forward-Looking Statements and Other Information
This presentation contains projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These projections and statements reflect the company’s current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. No assurances can be given, however, that these
events will occur or that these projections will be achieved, and actual results could differ
materially from those projected as a result of certain risk factors. A discussion of these risk
factors is included in the company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved
reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to
be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We
use certain terms in this presentation relating to reserves other than proved, such as unproved
resources, that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit registrants from including in filings with the SEC.
Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Hess’ Form 10-K, File No. 1-1204,
available from Hess Corporation, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036 c/o
Corporate Secretary and on our website at www.hess.com. You can also obtain this form from
the SEC on the EDGAR system.
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the
differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures can be found in this presentation on our website at www.hess.com.
