ExxonMobil Q3 Report 2022

Financial Highlights

• Third-quarter earnings were $19.7 billion compared with $17.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Excluding identified items, earnings of $18.7 billion were up $1.1 billion versus the prior quarter as higher natural gas realizations, record throughput in Energy Products, and continued cost control, were partially offset by lower crude realizations and moderating industry refining margins.

• Cash increased by $11.6 billion in the third quarter with free cash flow of $22 billion. Shareholder distributions were $8.2 billion for the quarter, including $3.7 billion of dividends and $4.5 billion of share repurchases, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $10.5 billion, consistent with the company’s plan to repurchase up to $30 billion of shares through 2023.

• Net-debt-to-capital ratio improved to about 7%, reflecting a period-end cash balance of $30.5 billion. The debt-to-capital ratio is now 19%, just below the low-end of the company’s target range.

• Asset sales and divestments resulted in $2.7 billion of cash proceeds during the quarter, bringing year-to-date proceeds to nearly $4 billion.
