据ICIS-MRC网站1月10日莫斯科报道，据路透社报道，由于石油和天然气价格上涨，埃克森美孚公司的营业利润超过了一次性费用，增加了19亿美元，该公司2021年恢复年度利润。
这家美国最大的石油生产商发布了最后一个季度的业绩说明，显示该公司预计石油和天然气生产的利润将连续上升。根据一份证券备案文件显示，炼油和化工行业的营业利润将持平至更低。官方结果将于2月1日公布。
2020年，由于油价下跌和炼油利润率下降，埃克森公司出现了224亿美元的历史性亏损。成本削减加上能源价格上涨使该公司得以偿还债务，并计划在明年实施股票回购计划。
根据Refinitiv IBES数据显示，分析师预测该季度调整后的每股盈利为1.76美元，而一年前不包括减记的每股盈利为3美分。
该监管文件表明，资产减损和合同成本的一次性费用可能会使油气收益减12亿美元，但并未提供受影响的生产资产的详细信息。
埃克森美孚还表示，化学品业务利润率的下降可能导致公司业绩下降6亿-8亿美元，而第三季度化学品业务利润为21.4亿美元。与上一季度12.3亿美元的利润相比，炼油利润率可能持平或下降2亿美元。
为了抵消负面影响，埃克森表示其石油、天然气和成品油按市值计价的收益高达110亿美元。该公司还表示，包括英国北海资产在内的资产出售所得可能高达5亿美元。
该公司表示，乐观的前景使埃克森美孚延长了新项目每年20亿-25亿美元的支出计划，直到2027年，其中包括每年25亿美元的碳减排支出。该公司还表示，预计到2025年，公司年利润较疫情前将翻番。该公司约60%的支出将用于美国页岩气、圭亚那、巴西、液化天然气和化工产品等关键增长领域。

ExxonMobil signals return to annual profit for 2021 on stronger oil and gas prices
ExxonMobil Corp has signaled a return to annual profit for 2021 as stronger oil and gas prices drove a gain of up to USD1.9 B in operating profits that exceeded one-time charges, reported Reuters.
The largest US oil producer issued a snapshot of final quarter results that showed it expects sequentially higher profit from oil and gas production. Operating profits in refining and chemicals will be flat to lower, a securities filing showed. Official results are due out Feb. 1.
In 2020, Exxon suffered a historic USD22.4 B loss on writedowns from falling oil prices and lower refining margins. Cost cuts coupled with energy price gains have allowed it to pay down debt and plot a share buyback program next year.
Analysts forecast an adjusted profit of USD1.76 per share for the quarter, according to Refinitiv IBES data, compared to 3 cents a share excluding writedowns a year-ago.
The regulatory filing signaled one-time charges for asset impairments and contractual costs could lower oil and gas earnings by up to USD1.2 B. It did not provide details on the production assets affected.
Exxon also said lower margins in chemicals could lower results by USD600 MM-USD800 MM, compared to the USD2.14 B third-quarter chemicals profit. Refining margins could stay flat or drop by USD200 MM compared to the USD1.23 B profit the previous quarter.
Offsetting the negative impacts, Exxon signaled mark-to-market gains of up to USD1.1 B for oil and gas and in refined products. It also said proceeds from asset sales including its U.K. North Sea assets could deliver up to USD500 MM.
The rosier outlook allowed Exxon to extend planned a USD20-25 B per year outlay on new projects through 2027, including USD2.5 B per year on carbon reductions, the company has said, adding it expects to double its pre-pandemic annual profit by 2025, the company has said. about 60% of its spending will be in key growth areas of US shale, Guyana, Brazil, LNG, and chemical products.
