On a GAAP basis, the company reported a loss of $3.20 per share against a loss of 73 cents in the year-ago quarter.

The difference between adjusted and GAAP figures was due to the combined effect of a loss on divestiture, acquisition expenses, other charges, offset by a gain from tax adjustment.

Noble Energy's total revenue increased around 25.1% year over year to $1,059 million in the second quarter. However, reported revenues marginally lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,065 million by 0.6%.
