Exxon Mobil Corp. said Chief Executive Rex Tillerson's total compensation was $27.3 million for 2015, a decline of 18% from the year earlier as the oil giant's profits were hit by low oil prices.

The smaller pay package mostly reflected a decline in Mr. Tillerson's annual bonus and stock awards. The bonus declined to $2.4 million from $3.7 million a year earlier, while the value of stock awards fell to $18.3 million from $21.4 million. Those declines were slightly offset by an increase in his salary to $3 million from $2.9 million in 2014.

During February the world's largest publicly traded oil company reported that its fourth-quarter profit tumbled 58%, to the lowest level since 2002, as the worst oil crash in decades hampered drilling operations.

The Irving, Texas company also joined BP PLC and Chevron Corp. in reporting losses or sharply lower profits for the fourth-quarter and full-year of 2015.
