NEW YORK (AP) — Exxon Mobil brought in $69 billion in revenue in the second quarter, down from last year’s $73.5 billion.
Some of the benefits of rising crude prices, up 22% this year, were offset be natural gas prices, which have fallen almost 24% in the same time frame.
The nation’s largest oil company said Friday that its profit fell 21 percent to $3.1 billion, or 73 cents per share, compared with last year’s $4 billion, but that’s still better than the per-share earnings of 66 cents that analysts were looking for, according to a survey by FactSet.
Shares are up 2% before the opening bell.
Oil production was 3.9 million barrels per day, up 7 percent from the same time last year.
