SPRING, Texas – January 31, 2025 – Exxon Mobil Corporation today announced fourth-quarter 2024 earnings of $7.6 billion, or $1.72 per share assuming dilution. Cash flow from operating activities was $12.2 billion and free cash flow was $8.0 billion. Capital and exploration expenditures, and cash capital expenditures were both $7.5 billion in the fourth quarter, bringing the full-year expenditures to $27.6 billion and $25.6 billion, respectively – both in line with full-year guidance. For full-year 2024, the company reported earnings of $33.7 billion, or $7.84 per share assuming dilution.

“Our transformed company delivered unmatched value in 2024,” said Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer. “The proof is in our performance. Operationally, we delivered strong results on safety, reliability, and emissions. Financially, we delivered some of our highest earnings and operating cash flow in a decade. We earned returns higher than our peers3 and well above our cost of capital, and we distributed more cash to shareholders than all but five companies in the entire S&P 5001.”

“As we look ahead, we’ve built a long runway of value creation. We’re confident we’ll deliver on the plans we laid out to generate significantly more earnings and cash – not only to 2030, but well beyond. Our unique investment opportunities give us profitable growth well into the future, which underpins our financial strength and ability to return significant cash to shareholders.”

Financial Highlights

•Full-year 2024 earnings were $33.7 billion versus $36.0 billion in 2023. Unfavorable 2023 identified items included a $2.0 billion impairment in California due to regulatory challenges restarting production and distribution from the now-divested Santa Ynez Unit assets. Earnings excluding identified items decreased as industry refining margins and natural gas prices declined from last year's historically high levels. Strong advantaged volume growth including record production from Guyana and Permian, and record high-value product sales volumes, more than offset lower base volumes from non-strategic asset divestments and scheduled maintenance. Structural cost savings partly offset higher expenses from depreciation, scheduled maintenance, new product development and 2025 project start-ups.

•Since 2019, the company achieved $12.1 billion of cumulative Structural Cost Savings, well beyond what any competitors have achieved, and more than offsetting inflation and growth. This includes $2.4 billion of savings during the year and $0.8 billion during the quarter. The company expects to deliver $18 billion of cumulative savings through the end of 2030 versus 2019.

•Return on capital employed led industry for the year at 12.7% and for the five-year average at 10.8%2.

•Generated strong cash flow from operations of $55.0 billion and free cash flow of $34.4 billion in 2024. Cash proceeds from asset sales totaled $5.0 billion. Free cash flow excluding a working capital increase of $1.8 billion was $36.2 billion, which covered industry-leading shareholder distributions of $36.0 billion3 – $16.7 billion of dividends and $19.3 billion of share repurchases, consistent with announced plans. In addition, the company delivered industry-leading total shareholder returns of 11%, 25% and 14% for the last one, three and five years3. As previously communicated, ExxonMobil plans to extend its annual $20 billion share-repurchase program through 2026.

•The Corporation declared a first-quarter dividend of $0.99 per share, payable on March 10, 2025, to shareholders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on February 12, 2025. The company raised its fourth-quarter dividend by 4% and has increased its annual dividend for 42 consecutive years.

•The debt-to-capital ratio was 13% and the net-debt-to-capital ratio was 6%4, reflecting a period-end cash balance of $23.2 billion.

•Upstream full-year earnings were $25.4 billion, $4.1 billion higher than 2023. Identified items for the year improved earnings by $0.2 billion versus the unfavorable $2.3 billion impact in 2023 mainly driven by the impairment of the now-divested Santa Ynez Unit assets in California due to regulatory challenges restarting production and distribution. Excluding identified items, earnings increased $1.6 billion due to advantaged assets volume growth from record Guyana and Permian production, and structural cost savings. These increases were partly offset by lower natural gas prices, higher depreciation expense, and lower base volumes from divestments of non-strategic assets and entitlements. Net production in 2024 was at the highest level in over ten years at 4.3 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, an increase of 16%, or 595,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day.

•Fourth-quarter earnings were $6.5 billion, an increase of $340 million from the third quarter driven by record production in Guyana and Permian, stronger natural gas prices, and favorable tax impacts, partly offset by lower crude realizations. Net production in the fourth quarter was 4.6 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, an increase of 20,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day versus the prior quarter.

•Energy Products full-year 2024 earnings were $4.0 billion compared to $12.1 billion in 2023 due to significantly weaker industry refining margins, which declined from historically high levels as increased supply from industry capacity additions outpaced record global demand. Earnings improvement from structural cost savings and advantaged projects provided a partial offset to the impacts from higher scheduled maintenance and divestments.

•Fourth-quarter earnings totaled $402 million, a decrease of $907 million from the third quarter. Results were driven by unfavorable timing effects mainly from the absence of prior quarter favorable unsettled derivative mark-to-market impacts and weaker North America margins, partly offset by higher base volumes on strong reliability and recovery from the tornado at the Joliet refinery.

•Chemical Products 2024 earnings were $2.6 billion, an increase of $940 million versus 2023. Unfavorable 2023 identified items of $388 million were mainly associated with asset impairments and other financial reserves. 2024 earnings excluding identified items increased by $647 million compared to 2023. Despite continued bottom-of-cycle market conditions, overall margins improved as the company benefited from lower ethane feed costs at its advantaged North America assets and improved high-value product sales and realizations. Record high-value product sales more than offset lower base volumes from high-grading the portfolio product mix. Higher expenses primarily from planned maintenance and cost associated with advantaged projects starting up in 2025 were partly offset by structural cost savings.

•Fourth-quarter earnings were $120 million, compared to $893 million in the third quarter driven by weaker margins from increased North America ethane feed costs, seasonally higher expenses, and China Chemical Complex start-up preparation costs.

•Specialty Products delivered consistently strong earnings from its portfolio of high-value products. 2024 earnings were $3.1 billion, an increase of $338 million compared with 2023 driven by improved basestock and finished lubes margins, structural cost savings, and record high-value product sales volumes. These increases were partly offset by higher expenses including new product development costs, unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, and the absence of prior year favorable year-end inventory effects.

•Fourth-quarter earnings were $746 million, compared to $794 million in the third quarter. Higher expenses including new product development costs were mostly offset by favorable tax and year-end inventory impacts.

•2024 full-year net charges of $1,372 million decreased $419 million from 2023 due to lower financing costs.

•Corporate and Financing fourth-quarter net charges of $156 million decreased $388 million versus the third quarter due to lower financing costs which benefited from favorable foreign exchange movements.

This press release also references Structural Cost Savings, which describes decreases in cash opex excluding energy and production taxes as a result of operational efficiencies, workforce reductions, divestment-related reductions, and other cost-saving measures, that are expected to be sustainable compared to 2019 levels. Relative to 2019, estimated cumulative Structural Cost Savings totaled $12.1 billion, which included an additional $2.4 billion in 2024. The total change between periods in expenses above will reflect both Structural Cost Savings and other changes in spend, including market drivers, such as inflation and foreign exchange impacts, as well as changes in activity levels and costs associated with new operations, mergers and acquisitions, new business venture development, and early-stage projects. Estimates of cumulative annual structural cost savings may be revised depending on whether cost reductions realized in prior periods are determined to be sustainable compared to 2019 levels. Structural cost savings are stewarded internally to support management's oversight of spending over time. This measure is useful for investors to understand the Corporation's efforts to optimize spending through disciplined expense management.
