中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)阿拉伯貿(mào)易網(wǎng)2023年8月3日利雅得報(bào)道,全球領(lǐng)先的石化公司之一的沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司(沙比克/Sabic) 8月3日報(bào)告稱,由于平均銷售價(jià)格下降,其第二季度凈利潤從去年的79億里亞爾(21億美元)下降至11.8億里亞爾(3.15億美元),降幅高達(dá)85%。
根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)匯編機(jī)構(gòu)Refinitiv公布的數(shù)據(jù),沙比克第二季度的凈利潤超過分析師10.5億里亞爾的平均預(yù)期。
在公布截至2023年6月30日的3個(gè)月業(yè)績時(shí),沙比克表示,由于定期維護(hù)作業(yè),沙比克第二季度的平均銷售價(jià)格下降26%,銷量下降4%。
沙比克在提交給沙特證交所Tadawul的文件中表示:“由于為應(yīng)對通脹而收緊貨幣政策,全球經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)放緩,導(dǎo)致需求減弱,沙比克化工產(chǎn)品平均售價(jià)下降,銷量減少?!?/p>
因此,盡管原料成本較低,銷售和分銷費(fèi)用較低,但毛利潤和息稅前利潤(EBIT)仍大幅下降。
沙比克表示,該公司第二季度在非控股合資企業(yè)和關(guān)聯(lián)公司業(yè)績中的份額也大幅下降。
沙比克表示,由于原料價(jià)格下跌,其石化和特種業(yè)務(wù)的息稅折舊攤銷前收益在4月至6月期間增長了8%,達(dá)到42.7億里亞爾。由于銷量和價(jià)格下降,沙比克第二季度收入下降7%,為316億里亞爾。
這家沙特石化巨頭表示,盡管亞洲聚酯需求市場有所改善,但由于供應(yīng)增加和新產(chǎn)能,乙二醇(MEG)價(jià)格在4月至6月期間環(huán)比下降10%。
沙比克補(bǔ)充說,由于下游行業(yè)需求低迷,而美國和亞洲的產(chǎn)能增加,全球聚乙烯(PE)價(jià)格在4月至6月期間環(huán)比下降7%。

Sabic's Q2 profit plunges 85% on lower sales volume, price
Saudi Basic Industries Corp (Sabic), one of the leading global petrochemical companies, today (August 3) reported a 85% plunge in its net profit for the second quarter which fell to SR1.18 billion ($315 million) from SR7.9 billion ($2.1 billion) last year mainly due to lower average sales prices.
The net profit beat analysts’ mean estimate of SR1.05 billion, according to data compiler Refinitiv.
Announcing its results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, Sabic said the group's average selling prices fell by 26%, while sales volumes were 4% lower due to scheduled maintenance activities.
"The global economy is continuously slowing down as a result of tightening monetary policies to confront inflation, leading to weaker demand and a decrease in the average selling prices of the company’s products as well as lower quantities sold," stated Sabic in its filing to the Saudi bourse Tadawul.
As a result, there was a sharp decline in gross profit and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) despite lower feedstock cost and lower selling and distribution expenses, it stated.
Sabic’s share in results of non-integral joint ventures and associated companies also fell substantially in the second quarter, the company said.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, Sabic said its ebitda at the petrochemicals & specialties operations rose by 8% to SR4.27 billion in the April-June period because of lower feedstock prices. Revenue was down by 7% at SR31.6 billion on lower sales volumes and prices.
The petrochemical giant said monoethylene glycol (MEG) prices fell by 10% quarter on quarter during the April-June period “as a result of higher supply and new capacities, despite improvement in the polyester demand in Asia.”
The polyethylene (PE) global prices declined by 7% quarter on quarter in the April-June period, weighed by low demand from downstream sectors while increased capacity from US and Asia, it added.
