德莱克上季度利润创纪录

据OE网站3月31日报道，以色列德莱克集团（Delek Group）周三公布，其去年第四季度实现创纪录的利润，这得益于其北海子公司伊萨卡（Ithaca）的强劲营收和价值提升。

去年10-12月当季净利润升至约11亿谢克尔（合3.3亿美元），高于上年同期的3.11亿美元。收入从14亿谢克尔上升到16.3亿谢克尔。

其中大部分利润（税后8.71亿谢克尔）来自伊萨卡北海资产的重估，主要归因于储量和资源的增加。这是去年减值的逆转。

德莱克还持有海上天然气田的大量股份，在开始向埃及和约旦出口天然气后，该公司的销售额增长了114%，达到6.85亿谢克尔。

德莱克受到新冠疫情爆发和全球油价下跌的沉重打击，被迫出售资产，以筹集资金支付贷款人和债券持有人。

该公司表示，2020年其净金融债务减少了16亿谢克尔，降至43.43亿谢克尔。

Delek's Profit Boosted by North Sea Unit Ithaca Energy

Israel's Delek Group on Wednesday reported a record profit in the fourth quarter on strong revenue and a boost in the value of its North Sea unit Ithaca.

Net profit rose to about 1.1 billion shekels ($330 million) for the October-December quarter, up from 311 million a year earlier.

Revenue rose to 1.63 billion shekels from 1.4 billion.

Most of the profit, 871 million shekels post-tax, stemmed from a revaluation in Ithaca's North Sea assets, mainly attributed to an increase in reserves and resources.

This was a reversal of an impairment last year.

Delek also holds large stakes in offshore natural gas fields where its business reported a 114% increase in sales to 685 million shekels, after it began exporting to Egypt and Jordan.

Delek was hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak and a drop in global oil prices and was forced to sell assets to raise funds to pay its lenders and bondholders.

The company said that in 2020 its net financial debt declined by 1.6 billion shekels to 4.343 billion.
