ExxonMobil reports 40% fall in Q4 2023 earnings
The US oil and gas company's results were impacted by unfavourable identified items, including a substantial $2bn impairment.
February 5, 2024
ExxonMobil has reported a decline in its fourth-quarter (Q4) earnings of 2023, with figures showing a 40.1% drop to $7.63bn from the $12.75bn reported in the same period of 2022.
The US oil and gas company’s results were impacted by unfavourable identified items, including a substantial $2bn impairment due to regulatory challenges in California.
The oil and gas industry has seen a downturn in profits by roughly a third from the record highs of 2022, as prices fell following the initial surge caused by the conflict in Ukraine, reported Reuters.
Exxon noted that the impairments were partly balanced by positive tax and divestment-related items.
The company’s full-year earnings were $36bn, down from $55.74bn in 2022.
