據(jù)ICIS-MRC網(wǎng)站5月5日莫斯科報道,據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)信息顯示,世界最大能源公司之一雪佛龍(Chevron)第一季度利潤較上年同期下降29%,因煉油利潤率下降、生產(chǎn)虧損和資產(chǎn)出售的影響,油氣價格的上漲被削弱。
石油公司普遍享受著能源價格的回升,在2020年初大流行重創(chuàng)需求之后,能源價格今年至少上漲了三分之一。雪佛龍及其同行大幅削減開支,為數(shù)家公司大幅改善業(yè)績鋪平了道路。
但隨著歐洲競爭對手的業(yè)績超過預(yù)期,雪佛龍的盈利出現(xiàn)下滑,由于冬季風(fēng)暴造成生產(chǎn)損失,利潤率下降,以及去年利潤受益的資產(chǎn)和稅收項目缺失。雪佛龍首席執(zhí)行官邁克爾沃思(michael wirth)在談到今年2月襲擊德克薩斯州和其他州的氣溫驟降時表示,業(yè)績較一年前有所下降,部分原因是疫情和冬季風(fēng)暴Uri持續(xù)影響下游邊際利潤和銷量。
財務(wù)總監(jiān)Pierre Breber表示,冬季的暴風(fēng)雪造成了3億美元的產(chǎn)量損失和維修。這造成了二疊紀(jì)盆地的產(chǎn)量損失,以及煉油和化工產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)量損失。美國第二大石油生產(chǎn)商雪佛龍公布第一季度利潤為17.2億美元,合每股90美分,而去年同期為24.5億美元,合每股1.31美元。去年的業(yè)績包括約6.8億美元的資產(chǎn)出售和稅收優(yōu)惠項目。
凈利潤為14億美元,每股72美分,低于上年同期的36億美元,每股1.93美元。上周五早盤,股價下跌2%,至104.69美元。
根據(jù)Refinitiv IBES的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,雪佛龍的經(jīng)營活動產(chǎn)生的現(xiàn)金流為42億美元,比華爾街估計的低10多億美元。其債務(wù)成本、員工養(yǎng)老金和福利支出增加了一倍多,達(dá)到9.78億美元。RBC歐洲有限公司分析師Biraj Borkhataria表示,現(xiàn)金產(chǎn)出弱于預(yù)期,“導(dǎo)致凈債務(wù)狀況略高于預(yù)期”,為383億美元。

Chevron profit fell 29% in Q1
Chevron's first-quarter profit fell 29% from the same period a year ago as gains from oil and gas prices were undercut by weaker refining margins, production losses and the impact of an asset sale that benefited results last year, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
Oil companies are generally enjoying a recovery in energy prices, up at least a third this year, after the pandemic hammered demand at the start of 2020. Chevron and its peers slashed spending, paving the way for several firms to post sharply better results.
But as European rivals topped forecasts, Chevron's earnings declined on winter storm production losses, weaker margins and the absence of asset and tax items that benefited year-ago profit. "Results were down from a year ago due in part to ongoing downstream margin and volume effects resulting from the pandemic and the impacts of winter storm Uri," Michael Wirth, Chevron's chief executive officer, said, referring to the plunging temperatures that hit Texas and other states in February.
The winter storm cost USD300 million in lost production and repairs, said finance chief Pierre Breber. "That's lost production in the Permian Basin and lost production in refining and chemicals," he said. Chevron, the second-largest U.S. oil producer, reported a profit of USD1.72 billion, or 90 cents per share, compared with USD2.45 billion, or USD1.31 per share, a year earlier. Year-ago results included about USD680 million in asset sales and favorable tax items.
Net profit was USD1.4 billion, or 72 cents a share, down from USD3.6 billion, or USD1.93 a share, a year earlier. Shares dipped 2% to USD104.69 in morning trading on Friday.
Chevron's cash flow from operations, at USD4.2 billion, was more than USD1 billion below Wall Street estimates, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Its expenses for debt costs, employee pensions and benefits more than doubled to USD978 million. Weaker-than-expected cash generation "left a slightly higher net debt position than expected," of $38.3 billion, said analyst Biraj Borkhataria at RBC Europe Limited.
