Imperial Oil Will Report Third-Quarter Results Friday, October 30, And Hold A 9 A.M. MT Analyst Call

Imperial Oil will release third-quarter earnings on Friday, October 30, the company said in an 8-K filed Tuesday, and will hold an analyst call at 9 a.m. MT that same morning. The filing attaches a news release dated October 20 that carries the schedule.

What the 8-K and release say

The company filed the notice under Item 7.01, the section for disclosures made under Regulation FD, with the news release attached as an exhibit. It says the call follows the earnings release that morning.

Chairman, president and chief executive officer John Whelan and Peter Shaw, vice-president of investor relations, will host. Whelan will make brief remarks and then take questions from Imperial's covering analysts.

The call will run by webcast, and listeners must register through a link in the release. The recording will stay on the company's investor relations website for one year.

The backup plan if filing fails

The release includes a contingency. If EDGAR, the SEC's filing system, has technical trouble, or the company cannot complete its Form 8-K earnings filing at the intended time, it tells investors to look on Imperial's website or on Canada's SEDAR+ system.

In that case the company said it intends to furnish the information on EDGAR as soon as possible.

For holders, the practical point is where to look on the morning of October 30: the EDGAR filing is the primary route, with the website and SEDAR+ as the stated fallbacks.

Where the stock stood

Imperial shares closed at $134.99, down 0.18%, at Tuesday's close. That was before the after-hours filing, so the figure is not a reaction to the announcement.

The earnings release and the 9 a.m. MT call are both set for Friday, October 30.
