挪威Equinor利润暴跌98%

据5月8日Neftegaz.Ru消息：受疫情和油价暴跌的影响，挪威石油公司Equinor利润下滑了98％。

该公司一季度调整后收益为20.5亿美元，低于2019年同期的41.9亿美元。税后调整后利润为5.6亿美元，低于去年同期的15.4亿美元。液体和天然气的价格下跌影响了该季度的收益。

国际财务报告准则一季度净营业收入为0.6亿美元，低于2019年同期的47.3亿美元。今年第一季度，第一季度净利润为-7.1亿美元，低于2019年第一季度的17.1亿美元。

净营业收入受到24.5亿美元净减值费用的影响，其中8.6亿美元涉及挪威大陆架的资产，14亿美元涉及国际投资组合。减值主要是由短期价格假设的减少所致。

由于英国Mariner油田的原因，2020年一季度的产量创下新记录，但首席执行官埃尔达·萨特雷表示，Equinor今后将“优先考虑价值，而不是销量”。

Equinor已经开始减少业务，尤其是在美国本土，并将视需要考虑更多。由于危机，该公司取消了今年剩余时间的进一步生产指导，但表示预计2019年至2026年之间的年均增长率为3％。

Equinor已经宣布了一项30亿美元的“行动计划”以应对经济危机。此危机包括取消其股票回购计划，并将股东股息削减三分之二。

萨特雷称：“本季度我们的财务业绩受到大宗商品价格下跌的影响。然而，在这种市场条件下，我们以创纪录的高产量和稳健的现金流实现了强劲的运营业绩。由于不确定性仍然很高，大宗商品价格非常低，致使第一季度末到第二季度初的差额有所增加。”

Norwegian Equinor’s profits crash by 98% due to oil price slump

Equinor saw its profits slide by 98% as the Covid-19 pandemic and oil price crash took effect.

Adjusted earnings were $2.05 billion in the 1st quarter, down from $4.19 billion in the same period in 2019. Adjusted earnings after tax were $0.56 billion, down from $1.54 billion in the same period last year. Lower prices for both liquids and gas impacted the earnings for the quarter.

IFRS net operating income was $0.06 billion in the 1st quarter, down from $4.73 billion in the same period of 2019. IFRS net income was negative $0.71 billion in the 1st quarter, down from positive $1.71 billion in the 1st quarter of 2019.

Net operating income was impacted by net impairment charges of $2.45 billion, of which $0.86 billion relates to assets at the Norwegian continental shelf and $1.40 billion to the international portfolio. Impairments are mainly triggered by reduction in short-term price assumptions.

Despite achieving record high production in the 1st quarter of 2020, partly due to the Mariner field in the UK, CEO Eldar Saetre said Equinor will “prioritise value over volume” going forward.

Equinor has already started activity reductions, particularly in the US onshore, and will consider more as necessary. The firm has scrapped any further production guidance for the rest of the year due to the crisis, but said it expects annual growth of 3% on average between 2019 and 2026.

Equinor already announced a $3 billion “action plan” to deal with the economic crisis, including cancelling its share buyback programme and cutting the shareholder dividend by two-thirds.

Saetre said: “Our financial results in the quarter were impacted by the lower commodity prices. However, we delivered strong operational performance with record high production and solid cash flow under these market conditions. Uncertainty remains high with very low commodity prices and increased differentials towards the end of first quarter and in the start of the 2nd quarter."
