Chevron Corp.'s (CVX) said fourth-quarter earnings rose 20% from a year ago as profit was lifted by foreign currency.

Chevron's profit was $3.73 billion, or $1.95 a share, up from $3.11 billion, or $1.64 a share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by Refinitiv were looking for $1.92 a share.

The company said it had a $270 million asset write-off in the quarter.

Total revenue rose 13% to $42.35 billion, but missed the consensus forecast of $46.13 billion. Oil-equivalent production rose 7% to 2.93 million barrels a day, the company said.

Chevron expects oil production in 2019 to grow by 4% to 7%, excluding asset sales.
