Exxon Mobil Corp. logged a first-quarter loss hurt by market-related write-downs, the company said.

The oil company reported a loss of $610 million, or 14 cents a share, compared with year-ago earnings of $2.35 billion, or 55 cents a share. Exxon's adjusted earnings of 53 cents a share were above 1 cent a share, or FactSet's analyst consensus.

The company said it had a noncash charge because of market-related write-downs of $2.9 billion, leading to its loss.

Production at the oil producer rose more than expected from a year ago, to 4.05 million barrels of oil-equivalent a day. Analysts were expecting 3.98 million.

Exxon reported revenue of $56.16 billion, which fell 12% from a year ago and topped analysts' consensus of $53.53 billion.

Exxon recently cut capital spending for the year by 30%.
