XOM) is expected to need approximately $15.6 billion in incremental debt financing over the next years to back its dividend, increasing the oil company’s outstanding debt by 22%, according to MKM Partners.
ExxonMobil could further reduce its capital expenditures to $16-$17 billion annually in the next two years, the analyst said.
“Given this outlook, the company generates approximately $13.6 billion of aggregate FCF in 2021/2022, and assuming a minimum cash balance of ~$3 billion, which provides ~$0.5 billion of financing entering 2021, implies a need to externally fund ~$15.6 billion of the ~$29.7 billion aggregate dividend payments the next two years.”
