“Oil-and-gas giant Exxon Mobil reported earnings per share of $3.41, substantially above estimates for $1.95.
However, that figure includes a net gain of $7.5 billion on tax gains and divestments.
Earnings would have been $1.81 per share when stripping out the one time gains, based on the number shares outstanding.
Revenue topped analyst expectations, improving 1.5 percent to $127.4 billion.”
