These tables and charts show the highlights of BP's achievements in 2003. They reflect more than our financial performance.
Our strong profitability has allowed us to increase the dividend in dollar terms compared with 2002, and we are continuing to invest in the future. Environmental
and safety performance remains a key element. We continue to make significant financial commitments in the communities in which we operate.
BP presents pro forma results, adjusted for special items, in addition to its reported results, to enable shareholders better to assess our performance against
that of our competitors. The pro forma result is replacement cost profit before exceptional items, excluding acquisition amortization as defined in footnote a
to the reconciliation table (below). The pro forma result, adjusted for special items, has been derived from our UK GAAP accounting information but is not
in itself a recognized UK or US GAAP measure. References within BP Annual Review 2003 to 'operating result' and 'result' are to pro forma results, adjusted
for special items. References to 'fixed assets', 'capital employed', 'operating capital employed' and 'net debt plus equity' are to these measures on a pro
forma basis that excludes the fixed asset revaluation adjustment and goodwill consequent upon the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and Burmah Castrol acquisitions
in 2000. 'Return', 'return on average capital employed' and the 'net debt ratio' (net debt/net debt plus equity) refer to ratios calculated using these measures.
