萨比克第二季度净利润同比暴跌了68.4%

据普氏能源资讯2019年7月28日迪拜报道，将被沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)收购的沙特石油化工生产巨头沙特阿基础工业公司(萨比克/SABIC)公布的统计数据显示，由于石油化工产品价格下跌以及新的供应能力增加，萨比克第二季度净利润同比暴跌了68.4%，至21.2亿里亚尔(5.65亿美元)。

,萨比克副董事长兼首席执行官优素福·奔炎周日在一份提交给公司股票上市的沙特证券交易所的声明中表示：“全球GDP增长放缓加上石化产品价格由于新的供应能力显著增加下降导致主要产品线产品价格和利润率下跌。”

奔炎说：“今年上半年给萨比克的产品价格和利润率带来压力的关键产品线的新产能预计将继续影响萨比克今年下半年的盈利。”

统计数据显示，萨比克第二季度收入同比下降了17%，至358.7亿里亚尔。萨比克称，受价格疲弱影响的部分产品——包括单乙基乙二醇——第二季价格为2009年以来的最低水平。

SABIC Q2 net profit plunges 68% on lower petrochemical prices

SABIC, the petrochemical producer that is being acquired by Saudi Aramco, posted a 68.4% year-on-year plunge in second quarter net profit to Riyals 2.12 billion ($565 million) as petrochemical prices fell and new supply was added.

"The slowdown in global GDP growth coincides with a decline in petrochemical prices due to a significant increase in new supply capacity resulting in lower product prices and margins in key product lines," Yousef al-Benyan, vice chairman and CEO of SABIC, said Sunday in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange where its shares are traded.

"The new capacities in key products lines that pressured SABIC's product prices and margins in the first half of 2019 are expected to continue to impact the company's earnings in the second half of 2019."

Second quarter revenue fell 17% year-on-year to Riyal 35.87 billion. Some of the products that suffered from weak prices include mono ethyl glycol, whose prices in the second quarter were the lowest since 2009, SABIC said.
