sure-gain when crude price drop the spread - margin of refinery increases cause the refined oil price drop slower (lags) than the raw material crude oil price.....
the only negative aspect is the value of their refined oil or feed crude oil stock....but this effect only comes into factor when we see a difference in the crude price between the reporting period.
1st qtr ended 31st March..so it does not effect the results.
If crude price gains before 30June - then there is no net stock loss also for the next qtr results.
Actually the lower the crude oil price their cash flow will be higher per ton refined product sold.
Crude drop so much, Petron still can standing firmly - That's because Petron's throughput cost is lower in line with the drop in crude & it makes a % mark up thereof - Learnt from Probability.
my gut feel is crude oil was just pressed down by traders before trading it up before month-end OPEC decision because this round the drop was not supported by serious fundamental newsflow. anyway let's see how it goes
Petron Corp just released it's 1st Qtr results with the net income of 5.6 billions peso (yoy surge 100%) ! In the report did mentioned that the Petronm contribution is 1.5 billions peso, which means that Petronm net income is estimated around RM130 mils.
Market leader Petron Corporation continued its strong momentum in the first three months of 2017 posting a consolidated net income of P5.6 billion – the highest quarterly income in the company’s history – double the previous year’s first quarter earnings of P2.8 billion. Net income from Philippine operations grew 69% to P4.1 billion and accounts for 74% of consolidated figures while income from Malaysian operations surged 335% to P1.5 billion. Petron’s exceptional performance in both markets is mainly due to its strong focus on more profitable segments, production of higher-margin fuels and petrochemicals, and aggressive market expansion. In the Philippine retail segment, Petron’s volumes grew by another 6% while its LPG and Lubricants businesses grew by 5% and 16%, respectively. Currently, Petron has the highest network count with about 2,300 service stations – more than its next three competitors combined – which retail its cutting edge fuels and serves as outlets for its other products and services. Petrochemical export volumes more than doubled over the period allowing Petron to capture better margins from benzene, toluene, mixed xylene, and propylene. Meanwhile, exports of fuels were lessened as more volumes were sold locally as part of the company’s strategy to optimize margins. The company’s Malaysian operations also experienced steady growth with domestic volumes growing by another 6%, fueled by double-digit growth from the Commercial and Lubricants sectors.
Overall, Petron’s consolidated sales volumes grew to 26.2 million barrels, on track for another record-breaking year. First quarter 2017 volumes translated to revenues of P106.4 billion, 38% higher over the same period last year. Operating income improved by 54% to P8.9 billion. “We are definitely setting our sights on an even better performance this year as we derive more benefits from our strategic investments. Demand for fuels remains strong coming from the transportation, aviation, and manufacturing sectors where we are well-entrenched and poised to grow,” Petron President and CEO Ramon S. Ang said. Petron continues to be the leading innovator when it comes to fuels technology as it recently delivered the most advanced gasoline in country, the Blaze 100 Euro 6. The revolutionary fuel meets the most stringent technology and emission standards in the world (Euro 6b) and guarantees better performance, more mileage, cleaner engines, and lower maintenance costs. “Since our fuels are locally-produced and formulated in our refinery, we can guarantee the quality and consistency of Petron fuels. We will continue to innovate and lead in fuels technology so we can put more savings in our customers’ pockets while improving air quality across the nation,” Mr. Ang concluded.
Petron subsidiaries in Malaysia comprise of Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing Bhd (“PMRMB”), a public company listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, Petron Fuel International Sdn. Bhd., and Petron Oil (M) Sdn. Bhd. (from AR 2016)
However the $1.5 billions peso account for Petron Corp is only 73.39% income of Petronm + non listed business. Hence maybe the estimation of RM130 mils is not very far off target.
