PHILADELPHIA, PA USA
    PHILADELPHIA, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN)
today reported net income of $234 million ($3.07 per share diluted) for the
second quarter of 2004 versus $81 million ($1.04 per share diluted) for the
2003 second quarter. Results for the current quarter included a $4 million
after-tax charge for estimated losses related to retail service stations held
for sale. Excluding this special item, income for the second quarter was $238
million ($3.12 per share diluted).

    For the first half of 2004, Sunoco reported net income of $323 million
($4.23 per share diluted) versus net income of $167 million ($2.16 per share
diluted) for the 2003 first half. Excluding the aforementioned special item,
Sunoco's income for the 2004 first half was $327 million ($4.29 per share
diluted). There were no special items in the 2003 first half.
    "The second quarter was an outstanding one for Sunoco," said John G.
Drosdick, Sunoco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The combination of
strong refined product margins, significant contributions from our recent
asset acquisitions and operational improvements in each of our business units
enabled Sunoco to report record earnings for the quarter, demonstrating a new
level of earnings power.
    "Refining and Supply earned $217 million in the second quarter. During a
period of record gasoline demand and margins, our refineries achieved record
levels of production and operating efficiency to optimally meet market demand.
Across our refining system, inputs to crude units averaged 100 percent of
capacity and we established new quarterly highs for conversion unit
utilization and gasoline production. We have been steadily investing in and
improving the operations at our refineries over the past several years and
this quarter's results are a good indication of the progress we have made. The
Eagle Point refinery earned $42 million for the quarter and has earned $65
million since we acquired it on January 13, 2004. With the addition of Eagle
Point, the infrastructure investments we've made and the ongoing operational
improvements to our refineries, I am confident Refining and Supply can
continue to improve operating performance in the future.
    "Retail Marketing earned $24 million for the quarter. After lagging behind
rising crude oil and wholesale gasoline prices throughout much of the year,
retail gasoline margins rebounded sharply in June and averaged 10.7 cents per
gallon for the quarter. Our second-quarter results included a $3 million
income contribution from the retail sites acquired from Speedway in June 2003
and $5 million from the retail sites acquired from ConocoPhillips on April 28
of this year."
    Drosdick continued, "In addition to acquiring sites, we are also executing
a Retail Portfolio Management ("RPM") program which will reduce our invested
capital in certain company-owned sites. As part of this program, we plan to
divest or convert to contract dealers or distributors approximately 200 retail
sites over the next 18 months. We expect to generate divestment proceeds of
approximately $100 million while retaining most of the gasoline sales volume
within the Sunoco branded business. While Sunoco's current period net income
includes a $4 million charge for estimated losses associated with the
divestment of certain of these sites, we expect the RPM program to generate
gains in excess of this recognized loss.
    "Further reducing our capital employed in this business, in June, we
completed the sale of our proprietary credit card business and related
accounts receivable to Citibank for $94 million. The sale and related
agreement to transfer servicing of our private label credit card will benefit
our customers, dealers and distributors and significantly reduce our ongoing
working capital.
    "The Retail Marketing business has been a consistent income generator and
a high-return business for Sunoco. We believe our strategy of opportunistic
acquisitions combined with prudent portfolio management and ongoing retail
execution improvements will result in increased earnings and returns from this
business in future years.
    "Chemicals earned $12 million for the quarter, up modestly from the prior-
year comparable quarter. Despite strong demand growth and price increases for
both polypropylene and phenol during the first half of 2004, margins have
declined versus second-half 2003 levels due to significant increases in
benzene and propylene feedstock costs. However, with industry utilization
rates continuing to increase, we believe margins should improve, particularly
as feedstock costs moderate from recent record-high levels."
    Drosdick added, "Our other businesses, Logistics and Coke, each
contributed $9 million to our second-quarter results. These businesses
continue to provide a relatively stable earnings stream and excellent growth
opportunities to the Company. During the second quarter, Sunoco Logistics
Partners L.P. acquired an additional interest in the Harbor Pipeline, acquired
terminals in Baltimore, MD and Manassas, VA and again raised its cash
distribution. At Sun Coke, construction continues on our Haverhill, Ohio coke
plant which is expected to be in production by March 2005. We expect
additional growth from these businesses in future years.
    "Importantly, we also continued to return cash to our shareholders. We
increased the dividend for the second time in less than one year, by 9
percent, to $1.20 per share annualized. We also continued our share repurchase
program, repurchasing 455,000 shares of Sunoco common stock for $28 million
during the quarter. Year-to-date, we have repurchased over 1.0 million shares
and have remaining repurchase authorization of over $200 million.
    "While growing our asset base with the Eagle Point refinery and the
ConocoPhillips retail site acquisitions, we have also strengthened our balance
sheet in 2004. We ended the quarter with $535 million of cash and a net debt-
to-capital ratio, as defined in our revolving credit agreement, of 34 percent
- each improved from year-end 2003. As we look ahead to what Sunoco can
achieve over the next several years, both disciplined portfolio growth and
returning cash to our shareholders will remain core to our strategy to
increase shareholder value."

    DETAILS OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
    REFINING AND SUPPLY
    Refining and Supply earned $217 million in the current quarter versus $50
million in the second quarter of 2003. The increase was largely due to higher
realized margins and the $42 million income contribution from the Eagle Point
facility acquired in January 2004. Realized margins averaged $7.59 per barrel
for the quarter, up over $3.00 per barrel from the prior-year period.
Partially offsetting these positive variances were higher expenses.
    Total crude unit throughput averaged 887 thousand barrels daily (100
percent utilization) for the quarter, with total production available for sale
approximating 85 million barrels. Gasoline production was a record 43 million
barrels for the quarter.

    RETAIL MARKETING
    Retail Marketing earned $24 million in the second quarter of 2004 versus
$36 million in the second quarter of 2003. The decline was due largely to
lower retail gasoline and distillate margins. Partially offsetting the margin
decline were the added earnings from the sites acquired from ConocoPhillips in
April 2004 and from Speedway in June 2003.

    CHEMICALS
    Chemicals earned $12 million in the second quarter of 2004 versus $10
million in the prior-year period. The increase was due largely to three
percent higher sales volumes for polypropylene and phenol and related
products.

    LOGISTICS
    Earnings for the Logistics segment were $9 million in both second quarter
periods.

    COKE
    The Coke business earned $9 million in the second quarter of 2004 versus
$11 million in the second quarter of 2003. The decline was largely due to
lower tax benefits from Jewell coke operations.

    CORPORATE AND OTHER
    Corporate administrative expenses were $13 million after tax in the
current quarter versus $10 million in the comparable quarter last year. The
increase was largely due to higher employee-related expenses, including
accruals associated with cash and stock-based compensation.
    Net financing expenses were $20 million after tax in the second quarter of
2004 versus $25 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline was primarily
due to increased capitalized interest and lower expense attributable to the
preferential return of third-party investors in Sunoco's cokemaking
operations.

    SPECIAL ITEM
    Net income for the second quarter of 2004 included a loss of $4 million
after tax related to the Retail Marketing Divestment Program. There were no
special items in the second quarter of 2003.

    SIX MONTH RESULTS
    Sunoco earned $323 million for the first six months of 2004 versus $167
million in the comparable 2003 period. The increase is primarily due to
significantly higher wholesale fuel margins, higher chemical margins, income
from the recently acquired Eagle Point refinery and Speedway and
ConocoPhillips retail gasoline sites and increased earnings related to the
2003 propylene supply agreement with Equistar Chemicals, L.P. The increase was
partially offset by lower retail gasoline margins and higher expenses.

    Sunoco, Inc., headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, is a leading manufacturer
and marketer of petroleum and petrochemical products. With 890,000 barrels per
day of refining capacity, over 4,800 retail sites selling gasoline and
convenience items, over 4,500 miles of crude oil and refined product owned and
operated pipelines and 37 product terminals, Sunoco is one of the largest
independent refiner-marketers in the United States. Sunoco is a significant
manufacturer of petrochemicals with annual sales of approximately five billion
pounds, largely chemical intermediates used to make fibers, plastics, film and

     **In January 2004, crude unit capacity increased from 730 to 890
       thousands of barrels daily. This change reflects the acquisition of the
       150 thousand barrels-per-day Eagle Point refinery effective January 13,
       2004 and a 10 thousand barrels-per-day adjustment at the Toledo
       refinery reflecting the increased reliability and enhanced operations
       at this facility in recent years. The calculation of the crude inputs
       as a percent of crude unit rated capacity for the six months ended June
       30, 2004 includes the Eagle Point refinery, effective January 13, 2004.
