In its results statement, ExxonMobil highlighted that upstream earnings in the first quarter of 2025 were $6.8 billion, which it pointed out was $1.1 billion higher than the same quarter last year.
“Earnings increased due to advantaged assets volume growth from the Permian and Guyana, and structural cost savings,” Exxon noted in its statement.
“Weaker crude realizations and higher depreciation were offset by other net favorable impacts primarily related to divestments,” it added.
“Net production increased 20 percent, or 767,000 oil equivalent barrels per day, to 4.6 million oil equivalent barrels per day from Permian growth driven by the acquisition of Pioneer, partly offset by non-core asset divestments,” it continued.
Exxon announced first quarter 2025 earnings of $7.7 billion in its statement, adding that cash flow from operating activities was $13.0 billion and that free cash flow was $8.8 billion.
“The work we’ve done to transform our company over the past eight years positions us to excel in any environment,” Darren Woods, the chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon, said in the statement.
“In the first quarter, we earned $7.7 billion and generated $13.0 billion in cash flow from operations. Since 2019, the strategic choices we made to reduce costs, grow advantaged volumes, and optimize our operations have strengthened quarterly earnings power by about $4 billion at current prices and margins,” he added.
“This year, we’re starting up 10 advantaged projects that are expected to generate more than $3 billion of earnings in 2026 at constant prices and margins,” he continued.
“Continuously leveraging our competitive advantage is enabling the company to excel in the current market environment and deliver on our plans through 2030 and far into the future,” Woods went on to state.
