Exxon Mobil Corp. posted its fourth consecutive quarterly loss,
bringing its total loss for the fiscal year to more than $22
billion.
Exxon reported a fourth-quarter loss of $20.07 billion, or $4.70
a share, compared with a profit of $5.69 billion, or $1.33 a share,
a year earlier. Adjusted profit was 3 cents a share, which exceeded
Wall Street's consensus estimate of 1 cent a share, according to
FactSet.
The company's results included more than $19 billion in
impairments for the fourth quarter.
"The past year presented the most challenging market conditions
ExxonMobil has ever experienced," Chief Executive and Chairman
Darren Woods said in prepared remarks.
Shares of Exxon rose 2.3% in premarket trading.
Rival Chevron Corp. last week reported its third quarterly loss
in a row.
The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Exxon and
Chevron discussed a potential merger last year.
Exxon said Tuesday that fourth-quarter oil-equivalent production
was 3.7 million barrels a day.
Revenue and other income at Exxon fell 31% to $46.54 billion,
nearly in line with Wall Street's consensus estimate of $46.55
billion.
Exxon said Monday it is creating a division to focus on
technologies to cut carbon emissions. The new business will be
called "low carbon solutions."
