以色列Paz石油公司第二季度利润下降67%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网8月20日特拉维夫报道，以色列Paz Oil公司公布季度利润下降67%，其收入因炼油利润率、油价和销量在新冠疫情流行期间下滑而受到严重影响。

    以色列最大的成品油经销Paz周三表示，在4月至6月期间，其调整后的净利润为800万谢克尔（合240万美元），低于前一年的2400万。

    该公司收入下降61%，至13.6亿谢克尔，由于以色列的航班急剧减少，航空燃料销售自3月以来下降了80%。

    给予加油站租金减免的Paz表示，其炼油业务季度调整后的运营亏损为6600万谢克尔，而一年前的亏损为5200万谢克尔。

    该公司首席执行官尼尔·斯特恩(Nir Sztern)表示，受全球冠状病毒影响的炼油行业下降幅度最大，主要是由于对燃料的需求减少和产量下降，导致原油销量下降。

    但该公司指出，运输燃料消耗已逐步恢复，6月份的消费量达到了正常水平的96%左右。

    斯特恩补充道，Paz一直在采取行动，以减少开支和增加收入，并正在购买以色列的超级尤达零售连锁。

    Israel's Paz Oil Q2 profit plunges on oil demand drop

    Israel's Paz Oil reported a 67 per cent drop in quarterly profit, with its revenues hit hard by declines in refining margins, oil prices and sales volumes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Paz, Israel's largest distributor of refined oil products, said on Wednesday it earned an adjusted net profit of 8 million shekels ($2.4 million) in the April-June period, down from 24 million a year prior.

    Revenue slipped 61 per cent to 1.36 billion shekels, with jet fuel sales down 80 per cent since March due to a steep decline in flights from Israel.

    Paz, which granted relief in rent payments at refueling complexes, said it recorded a quarterly adjusted operating loss in its refining business of 66 million shekels, compared with a 52 million shekel loss a year ago.

    "The refining segment, which was affected by the global coronavirus, recorded the largest decrease mainly due to a decrease in the number of barrels sold due to a decrease in demand for fuels and a reduction in production volume," CEO Nir Sztern said.

    But the company noted that there has been a gradual recovery in fuel consumption for transportation, and that in June consumption reached a level of about 96 per cent its normal rate.

    Paz has been taking actions to reduce expenses and increase revenue, and is in the process of purchasing Israel's Super Yuda retail chain, Sztern added.
