据媒体6月7日消息,俄罗斯第二大石油生产商卢克石油表示,一季度利润因原油价格下滑而减少59%,为12年来最低点。
媒体报道,这家总部位于莫斯科的公司在周一发布的声明中称,公司收益净额降至428亿卢布(合6.51亿美元),去年同期则为1040亿卢布。
公司净现金流减少43%至360亿卢布,低于6名分析师此前预测的413亿卢布。
卢克石油表示,息税折旧摊销前收益降至1450亿卢布,而收益降至1.18万亿卢布。
Aton油气分析师亚历山大•科尔尼洛夫表示,净现金流“是整个一季度报告中的最弱项。”“净现金流是投资者们所关注的卢克石油数字指标中的关键项目,他们以此判断公司提升卢布股息分红的能力。”
卢布走势疲软削弱了油价暴跌对俄罗斯产油公司的冲击,也进一步减少了随低油价而下降的成本与税费。
尽管产量提升帮助巴什石油与俄气石油等竞争对手在一季度盈利增加,但卢克石油在俄罗斯的产量反遭下滑。
该公司最大的西西伯利亚油田产量降低8.4%,为86.5万桶/天。

Lukoil Q1 Profit Drops 59%
Lukoil PJSC, Russia’s second-largest oil producer, said first-quarter profit dropped 59% as crude prices declined to a 12-year low.
Net income fell to 42.8 billion rubles ($651 million) from 104 billion rubles a year earlier, the Moscow-based company said in a statement on Monday, Bloomberg reported.
That beat the 41.3-billion-ruble estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Free cash flow declined 43% to 36 billion rubles.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization fell to 145 billion rubles. Revenue fell to 1.18 trillion rubles, Lukoil said.
Free cash flow “is the weakest point in the entire first-quarter report”, said Alexander Kornilov, an oil and gas analyst at Aton. “Free cash flow is the key thing investors watch in Lukoil numbers, making judgments about the company’s capability to increase its dividend payments in ruble terms.”
Russian producers have been partially buffered against the rout in crude by a weaker ruble, which has reduced costs and taxes that decline with lower prices.
While higher output helped smaller rivals Bashneft PJSC and Gazprom Neft PJSC boost profit in the first quarter, Lukoil’s production in Russia has dropped.
Production at the company’s largest Western Siberia unit dropped 8.4% to 865,000 barrels a day.
