EXXON MOBIL CORP · 2026-05-04 · Importance 79 · Surprise 92 · No source text
ExxonMobil reported net income attributable to the company of $4,183 million in 1Q 2026, down from $7,713 million in 1Q 2025, a decline of $3,530 million year-over-year. The MD&A attributes the decrease mainly to unfavorable mark-to-market effects, higher depreciation expense and Middle East volume impacts, partially offset by higher prices and margins, increased volumes from Guyana and the Permian, and structural cost savings. Corporate and financing items (including identified timing/derivative effects) reduced consolidated results and corporate reconciling items show a corporate and financing loss of approximately $1,053 million for the quarter. Earnings per share declined to $1.00 in the quarter from $1.76 a year earlier, reflecting the lower net income and share count movement.
