ExxonMobil Corporation reported Q3 2025 earnings of $7.5 billion, or $1.76 per share. Cash flow from operating activities reached $14.8 billion, while free cash flow amounted to $6.3 billion. Shareholder distributions totalled $9.4 billion, including $4.2 billion in dividends and $5.1 billion in share repurchases, in line with the company’s announced plans.

‘ExxonMobil delivered strong results in Q3, continuing to demonstrate that we are truly in a league of our own,’ said Darren Woods, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ExxonMobil.

Year-to-date earnings stood at $22.3 billion, compared with $26.1 billion in the same period last year.

Earnings excluding one-off items related to restructuring expenses were $22.9 billion, down from $26.1 billion a year earlier.

Lower crude oil prices, minimal profitability in chemical products, higher depreciation, growth-related expenses, and reduced base volumes following strategic asset sales led to the decline in earnings. These factors were partially offset by favourable volume growth in the Permian Basin and Guyana, additional structural cost reductions, and positive timing effects.

Year-to-date chemical earnings amounted to $1.1 billion — $1.4 billion lower than in Q1—Q3 2024. The results were affected by narrower margins and increased expenses associated with the company’s chemical complex in China, partially offset by structural cost savings and record sales of high-value products.

Q3 chemical earnings of $515 million rose by $222 million compared with Q2. Margin improvements, record high-value product sales, and lower expenses were partly offset by an unfavourable regional volume mix.

Overall, petrochemicals contributed about 7% to the company’s total earnings, which is lower than in the Upstream segment but highlights potential for future growth.
