The Calgary-based oil producer posted C$4.6 billion in adjusted operating earnings, as stronger refinery margins offset lower production and throughput.
Suncor Energy reported third-quarter net earnings of $3.8 billion, up from $1.6 billion in the same period last year.
Profit per share rose to $3.27 from $1.34 a year earlier.
Adjusted operating earnings increased to $4.6 billion, or $3.97 per share, from $1.8 billion, or $1.48 per share, last year.
Suncor’s upstream production fell to 852.5 million barrels per day, while its board approved a 10% dividend increase to 66 cents per common share.
