Q4 2024 Management View Darren Woods, Chairman and CEO, highlighted that Exxon Mobil achieved earnings of $34 billion in 2024, marking its third-highest result in the past decade despite softer market conditions.

Exxon Mobil’s fourth-quarter adjusted profit managed to beat Wall Street’s expectations, as the oil and gas company increased production in Permian and Guyana.

Exxon said over 50% of its 2024 production came from Permian, Guyana, and LNG and expects that share to exceed 60% by 2030. Exxon returned $36 billion to shareholders in 2024, backed by $36.2 billion in free cash flow. The company led the industry with a 12.7% return on capital employed.

ExxonMobil reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations, driven by record production in the Permian Basin and Guyana, despite lower refining margins.

Exxon Mobil on Friday beat Wall Street's estimate for fourth-quarter profit as higher oil and gas production offset lower oil prices and weaker refining margins. Its adjusted profit was $7.39 billion or $1.

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) +0.4% pre-market Friday after reporting Q4 adjusted earnings that were roughly flat compared with the year-earlier quarter but ahead of Wall Street estimates, driven by high-margin projects in the Permian Basin and Guyana.
