Exxon Mobil Corp. reported today that its 2005 earnings totaled $36.13 billion, the largest annual profit ever for a U.S. company.
The company's annual profit was up 43 percent from the year before.
Exxon Mobil, the world's largest publicly traded oil company, also reported $10.71 billion profit for the last quarter, an increase of 27 percent from the year before.
Those are the largest reported net income numbers in U.S. history, according to Howard Silverblatt, an analyst for Standard & Poor's in New York. He said the previous records were set by Exxon in the third quarter of last year and in 2004.
