Houston: Exxon Mobil Corp’s quarterly profit rose a better-than-expected 69% as the world’s largest publicly traded oil company benefited from higher crude prices and better margins for its refineries.

The Irving, Texas, company reported a first-quarter profit of $10.65 billion, or $2.14 per share, up from $6.3 billion, or $1.33 per share, a year earlier.

Analysts on average had expected Exxon to report a first-quarter profit of $2.07 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Revenue rose 26% to $114 billion.

Oil and gas output rose 10% to 4.82 million barrels oil equivalent per day.

Shares of Exxon fell slightly to $87.56 in premarket trade from a New York Stock Exchange close of $87.78.
