殼牌公司宣布啟動30億美元新一輪股票回購計劃,此前該公司第一季業績有所成長。

By

-- 殼牌公司(SHEL.L,SHELL.AS)週四宣布了一項新的股票回購計劃,同時公佈了第一季業績同比增長。 這家總部位於英國的石油和天然氣巨頭啟動了一項為期三個月的30億美元股票回購計劃,此前該公司剛剛完成了一項35億美元的股票回購計劃。殼牌計劃在發布第二季業績之前完成此次新的回購。 此外,殼牌董事會宣布派發第一季中期股利每股0.3906美元,高於去年同期的每股0.358美元。 截至3月31日的第一季,殼牌的調整後淨利為69.2億美元,高於去年同期的55.8億美元;歸屬於股東的淨利也從47.8億美元增至56.9億美元。成長主要歸功於交易和優化帶來的貢獻增加、更高的實際價格和煉油利潤率以及營運成本的降低,但部分被銷售下降所抵消。 經營活動產生的現金流量為60.6億美元,去年同期為92.8億美元。剔除營運資本後,第一季經營活動產生的現金流量為172.4億美元,高於去年同期的119.4億美元。 殼牌預計第二季天然氣綜合產量將在每日58萬桶油當量至64萬桶油當量之間。液化天然氣(LNG)液化量預計在680萬噸至740萬噸之間。同時,上游產量預計在每日160萬桶油當量至180萬桶油當量之間,市場銷售量預計在每日250萬桶至270萬桶之間。 據該公司稱,第二季業績展望已考慮了中東衝突(包括卡達衝突)的影響,以及旗下資產計畫維護工作量的增加。 殼牌也重點介紹了其近期對加拿大能源公司ARC Resources的收購,並指出此次收購預計將使日產量增加37萬桶油當量,推動2025年至2030年間年均複合成長率達到4%。
