Low figures for Sales and COGS for 2012 indicates that Chevron net income is less which is evident in the Income statement ($26,336 for 2012 versus $ 27,008 for 2011). That may be great for paying less tax, but it means the Chevron doesn't make as much money, so sales costs should be kept down, to increase profits.
Chevron’s gross margin for 2012 decreased, thus Chevron may be using more expensive, materials to make the goods. Lower prices attract new customers, which may eventually raise profit margins.
The declining Operating income of Chevron for 2012 shows that there will be less money for owners, expansion, debt reduction, or anything else management hopes to achieve. This is one of the reasons that it is so closely watched by lenders and shareholders.
