Total SA (FP.FR) said Friday that its first-quarter earnings rose sharply, as hydrocarbon production reached record levels.

The French energy major said net profit rose to 3.11 billion euros ($3.46 billion) from EUR2.65 billion a year earlier.

Production rose 9% on year to 2.95 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, the company said.

However, adjusted net profit declined 4% to EUR2.76 billion from EUR2.88 billion, due to more expensive debt and lower prices for oil and natural gas.

Total confirmed its guidance for 2019 and said the outlook for the sector remains volatile, with uncertainty around global demand and non-OPEC supply concerns.
