lol those who believe the bogus accounts here deserve to lose all their money. just do your diligence, check back the history and see how these useless accounts disappear when price goes up, and then new names will appear again to fear monger. not too hard to observe this pattern, when they make money they disappear.
Hi Probability, There were minimum inventory write down or gain during all the qtrs in 2020 and 2021, except Q1 2022. Here are the numbers : Inventory (write down)/ Gain : FY2020 - Q1 : $0, Q2 : $0, Q3: $0, Q4: ($28m) FY2021 - Q1 : ($4m) , Q2: ($10m), Q3: ($1m) , Q4: $1m FY2022 - Q1 : ($132m) As such, you can eliminate the impact of inventory write down or gain on the qtrly results except for Q1 2022. Likewise, forex impact were minimum too. We can now take that the qtr to qtr profit change are largely impacted by crack spread change and the hedging effect (be it crude or refined products hedging). Can you apply the time lag hedging effect to explain the qtr to qtr results ?
Yes, the crack spread i based on is Spore Mogas 92 unleaded (platts) Brent crack spread. Although HY has various refined product mix, the numbers can still be applied as a good reference as profit trend for refinery. -------------------------------------------------------- Hi John, (1) Firstly, if am not mistaken the crack spread you had obtained are purely from gasoline alone, excluding any effects from diesel (gasoil) crack spread which is about 40% of their yield. This means the actual refining margin could be slightly different than reported. Nevertheless, we assume these are representative. (2) Secondly, we must realise that the cost of production is at least $2.5/brl assuming they sell about 10 m barrels per qtr. This would be the break even average crack spread margin we need. If market average gross crack spread is say $ 3/brl for 2020, the NET crack spread would be $ 0.5/brl. ............................... (3) The PBT reported are after the inventory gain / loss inclusion which swings wild easily. For just a $ 10/brl change between reporting period (or between buying and market pricing at the qtr closing date), the inventory gain/loss is: = 3.3 m barrels (inventory) x $ 10 / brl change = $ 33 m to see the effects per barrel, simply divide $ 33m over its sales volume of 10m per qtr = $33m / 10m brl = $3.3 / brl We can see from above (2) and (3) figures that the major factor that will be influencing its PBT is the inventory gain / loss and no longer the market crack spread (its simply too low to have any influence) For 2021, though the margin is much better at say $7.5/brl, the NET refining margin is about $5/brl and its not too big compared to the inventory effects of $3.3/brl by a mere change of $10/brl in crude oil pricing. In summary at such low refining margin, and volatile crude oil prices during this period (i believe it is the case in 2020 & 2021), its meaningless to derive any link between observed crack spread during this period and the reported PBT respectively. You need a relatively bigger crack spread and much stable crude oil pricing to really see the effects on bottom line. -------------------------------
Posted by Johnzhang > Jun 7, 2022 10:43 PM | Report Abuse I would very much appreciate if you can try to explain the relationship of the quarterly results below using the time lag effect of hedging and crack spread . For me it is just too complex. FY2020 Pre-tax profit - Q1 :($124 m), Q2 : $0 , Q3: $152m, Q4 : $227m FY2021 Pre-tax profit - Q1 : $34m, Q2 : ($80m) , Q3: ($56m), Q4: $230m FY2022 Pre-tax profit - Q1 : $85m
The month end crack spread figures are as below (in the order Jan to Dec) : FY2020: 5.99, 4.91, (5.22), (3.35), (0.91), 2.36, (1.00) , 1.77, 4.54, 2.82, 1.51, 3.92 (Avg 1.44)
@Probability, What you have so far explained about the hedging effect on qtr to qtr profit are all THEORETICALLY correct. No doubt about it. I merely want to find out if it is PRACTICALLY the same in HY's case. Would appreciate if you can share the official or substantiated information that HY's is actually adhering to the hedging policy and discipline advocated by you.
just saw this, the figures here are too small to say that its purely caused by the crude oil price fluctuations as we usually see during Shell owner ship time
just $10/brl price change will easily cause USD 33m impact on bottom line
as such some other tools on hedging on their inventory is involved

Crack spread on correction mode, peak level already over, hengyuan technically weak, nope for rebound until next Q to proof it profit. Cut exposure now
crack spread dropped is temporary n an excuse to lower d share price! still haven't heard a dropped in price of fuel, gasoline in M'sia or worldwide! d price dropped these 2 days r due to price correction (up to fast)!
As mentioned, When grandpa Koon buy call, you sell, when he sell call, you buy. "Time Tested Proven Strategy"...Don't take my words, go check his blog and read the chart to see yourself!
Crack spread correct down from USD32/bbl to USD27/bbl over the last few day is considered very normal after the spectacular surge from May. Don't have to cry until the house come down (some said cry father and cry mother). Just keep your mind cool and see the historic numbers below : (note : Avg crack spread (based on Spore Mogas 92 unleaded (PLATTS) Brent ) for year 2013 to 2022 which are computed by averaging 12-months end closing numbers of each year) FY2013 USD6.82/bbl FY2014 USD8.03/bbl FY2015 USD12.10/bbl FY2016 USD8.04/bbl FY2017 USD10.34/bbl FY2018 USD5.82/bbl FY2019 USD4.90/bbl FY2020 USD1.44/bbl FY2021 USD7.78/bbl Average 2013-2021 : USD7.25/bbl -------------------- Q1 2022 USD13.53/bbl YTDMay22 USD17.67/bbl Today USD27.43/bbl You must go to match the earnings of Petron and HY to the respective years' crack value and convinced yourself that these refinaries still made reasonable/good amount of profit during those years when crack spreads were below USD8/bbl most of the time! Barring any exceptional expenses or loss, Petron and HY only need crack spread of about USD2/bbl to breakeven. So, no need to cry father, cry mother, cry grandfather and grandmother too ! Stay invested and avoid the trap of manipulators/sharks who are waiting for you to dump. Numbers can not lie, human being do.
@MoneyMakers, when you are so bearish why are you here in this forum many times in a day ? Don’t waste time here and move to stock/forum that you are assured of making money.
@OTB, Many people said unsubstantiated things with motives in mind and purposes to achieve. They are some choose to bury their head underground . Some don’t want to know the truth because knowing the truth hurts . All kind of people around. So, avoid getting too irritated by them .
Usa driving season started yesterday with their refineries valero energy n marathon petroleum surging n reached all time high....monkey makers dont know a thing.Further goldman predicted brent to top USD 140.00.
look at the warrants ib added into hy and petronm, you can imagine how badly these 2 counters being manipulated . hope newbies avoid buying thouse toilet papers aka waran with their hard earned money. [NEVER BUY THOSE TOILET PAPERS ABOVE 10SEN, TO ME EVEN 5SEN IS ALREADY VERY EXPENSIVE]
