EXXON MOBIL CORP Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2025

Filed May 5, 2025For Securities:XOM

Summary

ExxonMobil Corporation reported net income attributable to shareholders of $7.713 billion ($1.76 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2025, a slight decrease from $8.220 billion ($2.06 per diluted share) in the same period of 2024. This decline was primarily driven by a significant drop in industry refining margins and lower crude oil prices, partially offset by increased volumes from advantaged Upstream investments in the Permian and Guyana, and the positive impact of favorable timing effects from derivatives and structural cost savings. The company's Upstream segment saw increased earnings due to higher production from key growth areas, while the Energy Products segment experienced a notable earnings decrease due to normalizing refining margins. The company also continued its robust capital return program, repurchasing $4.8 billion in shares and distributing $4.3 billion in dividends to shareholders.
