Chevron Corp. swung to a loss of $5.5 billion in 2020, capping a
year that saw a rout in oil prices and a pandemic-induced travel
downturn that sapped demand for oil and gas.
That was the first time Chevron ended the year in red since it
posted a $497 million annual loss for 2016. In 2019, the San Ramon,
Calif.-based oil company had a net profit of $2.9 billion.
Chevron on Friday posted a fourth-quarter loss of $665 million,
or 33 cents a share, compared with a loss of $6.61 billion, or
$3.51 a share, in the comparable quarter a year earlier. The
company booked $16.43 billion in depreciation, depletion and
amortization costs in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted losses for the quarter were a penny a share. Analysts
polled by FactSet were expecting adjusted earnings of 8 cents a
share.
Quarterly revenue fell more than 30% to $25.25 billion from the
year-ago period. Analysts were looking for $25.82 billion.
Upstream earnings were $501 million, compared with a loss of
$6.73 billion in the same period last year. World-wide
oil-equivalent production rose 6% to 3.28 million barrels a day
during the quarter due to its acquisition of Noble Energy, Chevron
said.
