中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站11月4日消息 奥地利聚烯烃和化肥巨头北欧化工（Borealis）周三表示，由于亚洲和美国销售价格的改善无法抵消新冠疫情导致的经济下滑，北欧化工第三季度的销售额和利润同比大幅下降。 该公司首席执行官阿尔弗雷德·斯特恩称，随着欧洲抗击第二波新冠病毒，未来几个季度的前景仍不明朗，这已导致主要经济体出现部分停工。 该公司的合资企业博禄集团位于阿布扎比，该公司的大部分产品将运往亚洲的发展中经济体，该公司没有利用中国的复苏，销售额仍低于2019年，尽管较第二季度有所改善。 尽管聚烯烃销售量不断增加，但第三季度的综合利润率同比下降。聚烯烃全球供应充足，需求受到第二季度停工的影响。 化肥行业在过去几个季度一直表现良好，但由于疲软的市场环境，其财务指标也有所下降。 该生产商表示：“然而，聚烯烃的销量与去年同期相比有所增加，尽管市场形势不太乐观。” “第三季度博禄集团的表现也比上一季度有所改善，但由于聚烯烃价格下降和市场环境明显疲软，仍低于2019年的水平。” 北欧化工第二季度利润大幅下降，加上疫情导致的经济下滑，该公司还不得不应对瑞典Stenungsund裂解工厂的停产问题，导致1-9月净利润同比下降近一半，至3.78亿欧元。 北欧化工是一家私人企业，没有公布每个部门的具体财务指标。今年早些时候，这家奥地利能源和石化巨头从阿布扎比的投资基金穆巴达拉手中收购了一部分股权后，该公司现在由OMV控股。 通过这笔价值47亿欧元的交易，OMV持有75%的股份，穆巴达拉则持有剩余25%的股份。 王磊 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： Borealis Q3 sales, profit sharply down, second wave adds to ‘uncertain’ outlook Borealis’ third-quarter sales and profit fell sharply year on year as an improvement in selling prices in Asia and the US could not offset the pandemic-induced downturn, the Austrian polyolefins and fertilizers major said on Wednesday. CEO Alfred Stern warned the outlook for coming quarters remains uncertain as Europe battles the second wave of the pandemic, which has already prompted partial lockdowns in major economies. The firm’s joint venture Borouge, located in Abu Dhabi and which destines most of its product to developing economies in Asia, did not capitalise on China’s recovery and sales remain lower than in 2019, although improved from the second quarter. - Despite increasing polyolefins sales volumes, integrated margins were lower in the third quarter, year on year; polyolefins global supply is abundant, and demand has taken a hit from the second-quarter lockdowns. - The fertilizers division, which had been enjoying a good run in past quarters, also posted lower financial metrics due to a “less favourable” market environment. - “However, polyolefins sales volumes increased versus the same quarter of the previous year despite less auspicious market conditions,” said the producer. - “Third-quarter Borouge performance also showed improvement over the previous quarter, but remains below 2019 levels due to lower polyolefins prices and the significantly weaker market environment.” - Borealis’ sharply reduced profit in the second quarter – together with the pandemic-induced downturn, it also had to deal with an outage at its Stenungsund cracker in Sweden – has caused net profit to nearly halve in the January-September period, year on year, to €378m. - Borealis is privately owned and does not publish specific financial metrics for each division; the company is now under the majority ownership of OMV after the Austrian energy and petrochemicals major acquired a stake from Abu Dhabi’s investment fund Mubadala earlier in the year. - With the transaction, valued at €4.7bn, OMV became owner of a 75% stake; Mubadala owns the remaining 25%. |
