Oil prices could go ‘parabolic’, putting global economy in ‘critical situation,’ says Trafigura chief Last Updated: June 8, 2022 at 3:39 p.m. ET First Published: June 8, 2022 at 10:19 a.m. ET
I personally feel many people in this forum bark the wrong tree. HY and Petron are NOT crude oil producers who benefit or suffer from crude oil price up /down. Instead, they are refiners who derive their profits from refining activity and selling the refined products. What matter to them is the difference between crude price and the refined products prices ie crack spread! crude oil price movement (up or down) merely impact the inventory value of physical stock and outstanding crude oil purchase contract. The risk of crude price change can easily be covered by prudent hedging and this is what both Petron and HY do. Also, the conversion cost of turning crude into refined products is merely about Usd2/bbl . Therefore, gross profit at refinery plant level is crack spread minus about usd2/bbl Crack spread level at USD28 today present insane amount of gross profit! Bear in mind that average crack from 2016-2021 was merely $6.39 and yet HY and Petron made reasonable level of profit. Simple enough reasoning ?

Good Morning Sslee, don’t take these pessimists and naysayers seriously. Some said what they said with an ulterior motive and I am not surprised if they are ‘employed’ to do so. Some are inexperienced and yet not willing to learn new knowledge with open mind. Some see ghost once and now see ghost everywhere and all the time . That’s how we get all kinds of comments.
Goldman Damien Courvalin wrote in a note (available to professional subs) that "rising dislocation between crude and petroleum product prices finally reflects the current extreme tightness in global refining, driven by seasonality, disruptions as well as large-capacity closures." He said refinery tightness would keep refined product prices higher throughout the year and also noted more refinery closures are slated by the end of next year.
The Goldman analyst maps out that available global refinery capacity has been in a downward sloping curve since early 2020. This means as long as demand for refined products stays elevated, prices at the pump will remain higher because of the bottleneck in no new capacity coming online for a few years.
@OTB my contact can not see what is the hedging formula but he know that April n May give an explosive result. --------------- Thank you for your reply. Please check out will there be a loss or a gain on refined margin derivative in Q2 2022. If it is an explosive result in April and May 2022, I presume it is going to have a gain on refined margin derivatives. Please check again. Thank you.
@OTB just check again but refuse to review. He only mentions to me that he took out all his FD to buy this share now. ------------ Thank you for your help. I will follow him.
What I see for now potentially 20% upside to current Oil prices. Oil Palm has ben > 6k per ton for months. Expect the elevated prices for oil to stay till Q4
these are inventory write down (similar to offspec) not stockholding gain/loss..

Hi John,
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

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
@Johnzhang, You are very good in your research, please advise and comment on my posting. Some of above information are taken from your notes. Thank you.
If any of these investors goes through the below links with detail information, they should relax and enjoy the next 2.5 months before Q2 results is released.
Frankly, at current HY price, I will only start to worry if avg crack spread of (Diesel + Gasoline + Kerosene) drops below 12 USD/brl
Taking out breakeven margin you need of 2 USD/brl and quarterly sales through put of 10.6 million, PBT will be:
= 10 USD/brl (net margin) x 10.6 million barrel sales / qtr = MYR 466 million @ 4.4 exch rate to USD
Thats PAT of MYR 354 million , i,e EPS of RM 1.18 per qtr
.....
If on the other hand, HY share price dips before Q2 results and before crack spread plunging below 10 USD/brl, i will buy the CW in trenches even to the extent of going all in
Its simply too obvious to me what you can expect on HY performance going forward
Further more, like you mentioned above - Q2 22' results is already secured now as it trails by 1 month due to monthly hedging.

@Johnzhang, @Sslee and probability,
Investors are not confident on refined margin derivatives loss.
In stock market we may see opposite scenario, where say by 'unbelievable event' that the crack spread dropped below 7 USD/brl by Aug 22...market will still push HY to above RM 17 looking at the EPS above RM 2 for Q2..
short term price movement we have no control, but HY destiny is kinda confirmed by end Aug 22
go for a world tour next 2 months and come back...lol!
Correct me if I am wrong, since it's an opportunity loss, isn't it should be 20.85-12(since it is sold at this price) = 8.85 (opportunity loss). So the refined margin derivatives loss 10.6*25%*USD8.85*RM4.40 = 103.2M ?
Dear all, I really do not have any data on HRC derivatives hedging. I miss the day when HRC did not involved in excessive hedging.
Below are some useful information in 2017 I gather from the management on financial performance and operation.
In the year 2017 Margin and financial performance: Revenue: RM 11.583 billion. NPAT: RM 930 million with sales volume of 41.104 million barrels. The Current Cost of Stock (CCS) refining margin in 2017 was USD 7.17 per barrel and FIFO margin was USD 8.39 per barrel including stock holding gain of USD 1.22 per barrel in 2017. The other operation gain/loss mainly comprise of forex gains/losses on USD borrowing
Operation: Average inventories holding of 30-40 days refer to time when HRC assumes ownership of crude inventories until they are refines into products and sold to customers. The operation planning include having sufficient crude slate inventories on site for more than a week’s production and approx 1-2 weeks of product inventories to meet customers’ demand. Our crude purchases can range between 300,000 to 1 million barrels.
