PHILADELPHIA, PA USA
    PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN)
today reported net income of $329 million ($2.39 per share diluted) for the
third quarter of 2005 versus $104 million ($.69 per share diluted) for the
2004 third quarter. Excluding special items, income for the current quarter
was $357 million ($2.60 per share diluted) compared to $128 million ($.85 per
share diluted) for the 2004 third quarter.

    For the first nine months of 2005, Sunoco reported net income of $687
million ($4.97 per share diluted) versus net income of $427 million ($2.81 per
share diluted) for the first nine months of 2004. Excluding special items,
Sunoco's income was $715 million ($5.17 per share diluted) versus $451 million
($2.97 per share diluted) for the comparable 2004 period.
    All per-share amounts reflect the two-for-one stock split effected on
August 1, 2005.
    "Results for the Company continued to be very strong and were clearly
impacted by the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita," said John G.
Drosdick, Sunoco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With product demand
strong and industry production at near maximum levels before the disruptions,
the loss of over 10 percent of U.S. refining capacity during September caused
prices and margins to spike further, as both supply and demand responses were
necessary to keep the system adequately supplied.
    "On the supply side, inventory draws, increased imports and higher
utilization rates and production yields from operating refineries were
required. To that end, aided by some temporary regulatory waivers, Sunoco's
refineries were able to achieve several production records, including crude
throughput and gasoline production levels during the month of September to
help supply our markets. On the demand side, the rapid increase in retail
prices combined with some temporary disruptions to the supply chain, led to
lower September demand.
    "While the ultimate impact of the hurricanes on the energy complex will be
felt for some time, it is encouraging that the industry and the market have
responded to date and crude oil and refined product prices have largely
returned to pre-Katrina levels."
    Commenting on Sunoco's third quarter results, Drosdick stated, "For the
quarter, earnings before special items totaled $357 million, led by Refining
and Supply income of $341 million. Realized refining margins were
approximately $7 per barrel prior to the Gulf Coast hurricanes and averaged
almost $11 per barrel for the quarter. Despite some unscheduled downtime in
mid-quarter, crude unit utilization was 96 percent and overall refining UEDC
(utilization of equivalent distillation capacity) was a near record 89 percent
for the quarter.
    "Retail Marketing earned $6 million in the quarter - with post-Katrina
results approximating break-even. Our emphasis during September was to ensure
our retail customers were adequately supplied and to responsibly pass through
the volatility in wholesale prices, both up and down. Total volumes were up
slightly versus the comparable 2004 quarter," Drosdick said.
    "Chemicals had earnings of $23 million for the quarter. Production losses
and other costs associated with the hurricanes reduced results by
approximately $4 million after tax. Physical damage to our Houston-area
facilities was minimal and operations returned to normal in October.
    "In our other businesses, Coke and Logistics earned $15 million and $7
million, respectively.
    "We continued to repurchase shares - $36 million for the quarter and $167
million through September 30, 2005 - while further strengthening our balance
sheet. Shares outstanding were 136.1 million at quarter-end, down two percent
for the year. As of September 30, 2005, the cash balance was $816 million and
net debt-to-capital (as defined in our revolving credit agreement) was 22
percent.
    "Looking forward, the challenges and opportunities for refiners are
significant, as future product specification changes will be difficult and
spare capacity is limited. Our efforts and resources over the next several
years will be directed toward increasing the capacity and productivity of our
refining assets. To that end, we expect to invest approximately $1.8 billion
in our refineries over the next three years, with a greater emphasis on growth
projects which will increase total crude unit capacity by 100 thousand barrels
per day, to 1.0 million barrels per day, while improving our product yields
and crude oil and other feedstock processing flexibility. The first phase of
this capital program is already underway. A $300 million project to expand the
capacity of one of the fluid catalytic cracking units at the Philadelphia
refinery, and to significantly reconfigure the unit to upgrade approximately
25 thousand barrels per day of residual fuel production into higher-value
gasoline and distillate production is expected to be completed early in 2007.
The timely completion of this capital program is subject to the prompt receipt
of all necessary permits. This is the strategy we believe is right for our
industry, our customers and our shareholders."

    DETAILS OF THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

    REFINING AND SUPPLY
    Refining and Supply earned $341 million in the current quarter versus $89
million in the third quarter of 2004. The $252 million increase in earnings
was due to higher realized margins and higher production volumes. The higher
realized margins are largely as a result of the supply disruptions on the Gulf
Coast due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the increased use of discounted
high-acid crude oils, which averaged approximately 72 thousands of barrels
daily in the third quarter of 2005. Partially offsetting these factors were
higher expenses, including fuel- and employee-related charges.
    Total crude unit throughput averaged 865.7 thousand barrels daily (96
percent utilization) for the quarter, with total production available for sale
approximating 83 million barrels.

    RETAIL MARKETING
    Retail Marketing earned $6 million in the third quarter of 2005 versus $22
million in the third quarter of 2004. The decrease in results was due largely
to lower retail margins for gasoline. Total volumes were up slightly versus
the prior-year quarter.

    CHEMICALS
    Chemicals earned $23 million in the third quarter of 2005 versus $30
million in the prior-year period. In addition to the impact of the hurricanes,
the decrease in earnings was primarily due to higher expenses, including fuel
and employee-related charges. Higher phenol margins, particularly for
bisphenol-A, were largely offset by lower margins on the propylene supply
contract with Equistar Chemicals, L.P.

    LOGISTICS
    Earnings for the Logistics segment were $7 million in the third quarter of
2005 versus $9 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily
due to Sunoco's reduced ownership interest in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.
(NYSE: SXL).

    COKE
    The Coke business earned $15 million in the third quarter of 2005 versus
$12 million in the third quarter of 2004. The increase was due primarily to
higher gains from litigation settlements and income from the new cokemaking
facility in Haverhill, Ohio, which commenced operations in March 2005,
partially offset by higher business development and other expenses.

    CORPORATE AND OTHER
    Corporate administrative expenses were $25 million after tax in the
current quarter versus $15 million in the comparable quarter last year. The
increase was largely due to higher employee-related expenses, primarily
accruals for stock-based incentive compensation.
    Net financing expenses were $10 million after tax in the third quarter of
2005 versus $19 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily
due to lower interest expense resulting from 2004 debt restructuring
activities, increased capitalized interest and higher interest income.

    SPECIAL ITEMS
    During the third quarter of 2005, Sunoco recognized an $18 million after-
tax gain in connection with an income tax settlement of certain federal income
tax issues, net of a provision established for certain state and local tax
matters. In addition, Sunoco recognized a $46 million after-tax loss
associated with an arbitration decision related to a phenol pricing dispute.
The loss covers estimated damages for the period from June 2003 to April 2005.
Sunoco intends to contest the finding of liability and determination of
damages. The phenol supply agreement provides for a reopener for pricing on or
after January 1, 2005. The parties have been unsuccessful in negotiating the
post-2004 price and a new price will be determined in a second arbitration to
be held before a different arbitrator, scheduled for the second quarter of
2006.
    During the third quarter of 2004, Sunoco recognized an $8 million after-
tax loss related to the sale of its one-third interest in BEF and a $34
million after-tax loss from the early extinguishment of outstanding debt.
Sunoco also recognized another $18 million after-tax gain from the settlement
of certain federal income tax issues.

    NINE MONTH RESULTS
    Sunoco earned $687 million for the first nine months of 2005 versus $427
million in the first nine months of 2004. The increase was primarily due to
higher margins in Sunoco's Refining and Supply and Chemicals businesses. Also
contributing to the improvement in earnings were higher production of refined
products, increased use of high-acid discounted crude oils, an absence of the
loss on early extinguishment of debt in connection with the debt restructuring
in 2004, lower net financing expenses and the absence of the loss related to
the sale of Sunoco's one-third interest in BEF. Partially offsetting these
positive factors were the loss associated with a phenol supply contract
dispute, lower margins in Retail Marketing, higher expenses, primarily fuel
and employee-related charges and a higher effective income tax rate.

    Sunoco, Inc., headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, is a leading manufacturer
and marketer of petroleum and petrochemical products. With 900,000 barrels per
day of refining capacity, approximately 4,800 retail sites selling gasoline
and convenience items, approximately 4,500 miles of crude oil and refined
product owned and operated pipelines and 38 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 resins. Utilizing a unique, patented technology, Sunoco
also has the capacity to manufacture over 2.5 million tons annually of high-
quality metallurgical-grade coke for use in the steel industry.
