中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月20日报道，英国Premier Oil公司周四表示，已就债务工具的长期再融资条款达成一致，包括3亿美元的新股本和延长信贷期限，此前由于原油价格疲软，该公司上半年出现亏损。 自2014年油价暴跌以来，这家英国公司一直在债务中挣扎。最近由于新冠肺炎疫情导致的原油价格暴跌，迫使该公司努力寻求所有可能的融资并推迟还款。 截至格林尼治时间08：52, Premier Oil股价下跌了20%，这是5月15日以来的最低点。 该公司表示，29亿美元（22亿英镑）的总债务工具将通过非摊销贷款进行再融资，将期限从2021年5月延长至2025年3月。其债务的所有利率将定在8.34%。 截至6月底，公司净债务已从去年12月底的19.9亿美元缩水至19.7亿美元。周四，该公司的市值约为4.14亿美元。 Premier Oil证实，将筹集2.3亿美元，用于收购英拟议中的英国石油公司的部分北海油田。还将再筹集3亿美元的新股以减少债务，其中2.05亿美元将由债权人承销，这些债权人将把债务转为股票。 Premier Oil首席执行官托尼达兰特（Tony Durrant）表示，这将使公司在长期再融资和重置资产负债表方面处于有利地位。同时提高产量和现金流，并减少债务。 他补充称，公司2020年上半年的石油日产量为67300桶，而去年同期为84100桶。公司计划在2020年中期将产量提高到10万桶/天，这得益于油田的启动和对英国石油公司的收购。 Premier Oil上半年净亏损6.72亿美元，加上6.32亿美元的非现金减记，而在2019年上半年该公司盈利1.21亿美元。 该公司还重申了其对2020年全年自由现金流为正的预期。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Premier Oil lays out plan to extend debt facilities, posts first-half loss Premier Oil (PMO.L) has agreed terms for a long-term refinancing of its debt facilities, it said on Thursday, including $300 million of new equity and an extension to its credit maturities, after swinging into a first-half loss due to weak crude prices. The British company has been struggling with debt since the oil slump of 2014. The recent plunge in crude prices due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced the firm to secure all possible finances and delay repayments. Premier’s shares were down 20% by 0852 GMT, the lowest since May 15. The company said $2.9 billion (2.2 billion pounds) of gross debt facilities would be refinanced with non-amortising facilities, extending the maturities from May 2021 to March 2025. All interest rates on its debt would be set at 8.34%. Premier’s net debt had shrunk to $1.97 billion by the end of June from $1.99 billion at the end of December, the company said. Premier’s market capitalization stood at around $414 million on Thursday. The company confirmed it would raise $230 million to fund the proposed purchase of some of BP’s (BP.L) North Sea fields. It said it would also raise a further $300 million of new equity to reduce debt, of which $205 million will be underwritten by creditors who will convert debt to shares. The new arrangement “puts us in a strong position for long-term refinancing and to reset the balance sheet,” Premier Oil Chief Executive Tony Durrant told Reuters. “We are simultaneously increasing production and cash flow and reducing debt,” he added. The company, which produced 67,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first half of 2020 against 84,100 boed a year earlier, is planned to lift output to 100,000 boed by mid 2020 thanks to field start-ups and the BP acquisition, Durrant added. Premier reported a net loss of $672 million in the first half following $632 million in non-cash write downs, against a profit of $121 million in the first half of 2019. The company also reaffirmed its expectation that it would be free cash flow positive for full-year 2020. |
