Imperial Oil (IMO) Q4 Earnings: Taking a Look at Key Metrics Versus Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended December 2024, Imperial Oil (IMO - Free Report) reported revenue of $9.01 billion, down 6.4% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.69, compared to $1.81 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of -19.54% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $11.2 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.42, the EPS surprise was +19.01%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.

Total Refinery throughput: 411 KBBL versus 405.67 KBBL estimated by three analysts on average.
Gross Crude Oil and NGL Production per day - Kearl: 212 KBBL compared to the 209.9 KBBL average estimate based on three analysts.
Net Petroleum Products Sales: 458 KBBL compared to the 485.08 KBBL average estimate based on three analysts.
Refinery capacity utilization: 95% versus the three-analyst average estimate of 93.8%.

Gross Crude Oil and NGL Production per day - Conventional: 5 KBBL versus 3.42 KBBL estimated by three analysts on average.
