EXXONMOBIL'S CHAIRMAN REX W. TILLERSON COMMENTED: |
|
"ExxonMobil's first quarter net income was $9,280 million, up 10% from the first quarter of 2006. Higher refining, marketing and chemical margins were partly offset by a decrease in crude oil and natural gas realizations. |
|
In the first quarter, ExxonMobil continued to actively invest, bringing additional crude oil, finished products and natural gas to market. Spending on capital and exploration projects totaled $4.3 billion in the first quarter. |
The Corporation distributed a total of $8.8 billion to shareholders in the first quarter through dividends of $1.8 billion and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding of $7.0 billion, an increase of 26% versus the first quarter of 2006." |
|
FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS |
|
· Net income was $9,280 million, an increase of 10% or $880 million from the first quarter of 2006. |
|
|
· Spending on capital and exploration projects was $4.3 billion. |
|
· Excluding cumulative entitlement and divestment impacts, as well as OPEC quota effects, liquids production increased by 7%. |
|
· Cash flow from operations and asset sales was approximately $14.8 billion, including asset sales of $0.5 billion. |
|
· Earnings per share excluding special items were $1.62, an increase of 18%, reflecting strong earnings and the benefits of the share repurchase program. |
|
· Share purchases of $7.0 billion reduced shares outstanding by 1.7%. |
|
· ExxonMobil signed contracts for the Fujian Refining and Ethylene Joint Venture Project and the Fujian Fuels Marketing Joint Venture Project. The two joint ventures, with a total investment of about $5 billion, are the first fully integrated refining, petrochemicals and fuels marketing projects with foreign participation in China. |

First Quarter 2007 vs. First Quarter 2006 |
|
Upstream earnings were $6,041 million, down $342 million from the first quarter of 2006 primarily reflecting lower realizations and decreased natural gas volumes driven by lower European demand. |
|
On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased by 3% from the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the cumulative impact of entitlements and divestments, as well as OPEC quota effects, production was up almost 1%. |
|
Liquids production of 2,747 kbd (thousands of barrels per day) was 49 kbd higher. Increased production from projects in West Africa, Russia and the Middle East were partly offset by mature field decline and the cumulative impact of entitlements and divestments. Excluding cumulative entitlement and divestment effects, as well as OPEC quota impacts, liquids production increased by 7%. |
|
First quarter natural gas production was 10,131 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day) compared with 11,175 mcfd last year. The impact of mature field decline and the reduction of European demand by about 1,400 mcfd due to weather were partly offset by higher volumes from projects in Qatar. |
|
Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,177 million, $103 million lower than the first quarter of 2006. Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $4,864 million, down $239 million from 2006. |
|
Downstream earnings were $1,912 million, up $641 million from the first quarter 2006, driven by higher refining and marketing margins and improved refinery throughput. Petroleum product sales were 7,198 kbd, 21 kbd higher than last year's first quarter. |
|
U.S. Downstream earnings were $839 million, up $160 million from the first quarter of 2006. Non-U.S. Downstream earnings of $1,073 million were $481 million higher. |
|
-3-
|
|
Chemical earnings were $1,236 million, up $287 million from the first quarter of 2006 due to improved margins. Prime product sales of 6,805 kt (thousands of metric tons) in the first quarter of 2007 were down 111 kt from the prior year. |
|
Corporate and financing earnings were $91 million, up $294 million, mainly due to tax items. |
|
During the first quarter of 2007, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 108 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $8.0 billion. These purchases included $7.0 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding and the balance to offset shares issued in conjunction with the company's benefit plans and programs. Shares outstanding were reduced from 5,729 million at the end of the fourth quarter to 5,633 million at the end of the first quarter. Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. |

ExxonMobil will discuss financial and operating results and other matters on a webcast at 10 a.m. Central time on April 26, 2007. To listen to the event live or in archive, go to our website at "exxonmobil.com". |
|
|
Statements in this release relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual results, including project plans and related expenditures, resource recoveries, timing and capacities, could differ materially due to changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil and gas industry; political events or disturbances; reservoir performance; the outcome of commercial negotiations; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; wars and acts of terrorism or sabotage; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" on our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil's 2006 Form 10-K. We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date. |
|
Consistent with previous practice this press release includes both net income and earnings excluding special items. Earnings that exclude special items are a non-GAAP financial measure and are included to help facilitate comparisons of base business performance across periods. A reconciliation to net income is shown in Attachment II. The release also includes cash flow from operations and asset sales. Because of the regular nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities. Calculation of this cash flow is shown in Attachment II. Further information on ExxonMobil's frequently used financial and operating measures is contained on pages 32 and 33 in the 2006 Form 10-K and is also available through the Investor Information section of our website at "exxonmobil.com". |
