Overview

  • US oil and gas giant's Q1 revenue beat analyst expectations

  • Q1 earnings and adjusted EPS declined yr/yr amid higher expenses and Middle East impacts

  • Company delivered record production in Guyana and achieved first LNG at Golden Pass Train 1


Outlook

  • ExxonMobil maintains full-year 2026 cash capital expenditures guidance of $27-$29 bln

  • ExxonMobil plans to repurchase $20 bln of shares in 2026, assuming reasonable market conditions


Result Drivers

  • GUYANA & PERMIAN VOLUME GROWTH - Record production in Guyana and increased volumes in the Permian contributed to upstream results, partly offsetting operational disruptions

  • MIDDLE EAST SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS - Middle East events led to losses on financial hedges and lower volumes, negatively affecting earnings

  • COST SAVINGS & HIGHER EXPENSES - Structural cost savings continued, but were offset by higher expenses from investments and operational disruptions
