马来西亚常青油气公司二季度出现亏损

据7月27日Business Times Online报道，马拉西亚常青石油及天然气公司（RH Petrogas）表示，预计今年第二季度亏损将高于去年同期水平。

这家独立的上游油气公司还预计，2020年上半年将录得亏损，而2019年上半年则实现了盈利。利润指引是在对该公司2020年第二季度和2020年上半年未经审计的合并财务业绩进行初步审查后发布的。

预计第二季度出现亏损的主要原因是该公司确认的收入减少，这是实际油价“大幅下跌”的结果。当季实际油价平均为每桶28美元左右，较一年前的69美元/桶下降约59%。

RH Petrogas表示，石油市场在本季度经历了前所未有的波动，布伦特原油价格在4月底跌至21年低点，约为每桶9美元，随后在接近收盘时回升至每桶43美元左右。

尽管如此，该公司预计在2020年上半年，利息、税收、折旧、摊销、勘探费用、减值和其他非经常性项目为正值，运营产生的净现金流也为正。

RH Petrogas warns of Q2, H1 loss on 'significantly lower' realised oil prices

RH Petrogas on Sunday said it expects to record a higher loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared with the loss reported a year ago.

The independent upstream oil and gas company also expects to record a loss for the first half of 2020, compared with a profit for the corresponding half-year period in 2019. The profit guidance follows a preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated financial results of the group for Q2 and H1 2020.

The expected Q2 loss is mainly due to lower revenue recognised by the group as a result of "significantly lower" realised oil prices which averaged around US$28 per barrel for the quarter, down about 59 per cent from US$69 per barrel a year ago.

The oil markets experienced unprecedented volatility during the quarter, with Brent crude oil prices "crashing to a 21-year low" of about US$9 per barrel in late April before recovering to around $43 per barrel towards late Jane, RH Petrogas said.

That said, the group expects to generate positive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, exploration expenses, impairment and other non-recurring items, as well as positive net cash flow from operations for H1 2020.
