壳牌就油价大跌带来的冲击发出预警

据道琼斯3月31日消息，荷兰皇家壳牌集团周二表示，该公司已面临并且预计将继续面临与疫情影响和近期油价大幅波动有关的“重大不确定性”，但其流动性状况仍颇为强劲，可度过此次危机。

该能源集团称，公司预计第一季度将计入源于油价变化的减值支出4亿-8亿美元。

壳牌表示，季度炼油利润率预计也将环比下降，但尽管新冠疫情肆虐，营销利润率依然强劲。该公司还称，预计上游业务利润率会因宏观环境疲弱而下滑。

壳牌表示，来自旗下合资企业和附属公司的股息收入料将低于其他季度的水平，这与其惯常的季节性表现相符。

壳牌称，该公司可利用的流动资金总共有400亿美元。

Shell Warns of Blow From Oil Price Slump

Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Tuesday that it has encountered and expects to continue seeing significant uncertainty associated with the coronavirus pandemic and the recent volatility of oil prices, but that it retains strong liquidity to navigate the crises.

The energy conglomerate said it expects a $400 million to $800 million impairment charge in the first quarter coming from its oil-price changes.

The company said refinery margins are seen to be lower quarter-on-quarter too, but that marketing margins remain strong despite the pandemic. It also said it sees reduced margins from upstream due to weak macro environment.

Shell said dividend payments from joint ventures and associates are expected to be lower than in other quarters, as per their usual seasonality.

Shell said it can leverage a total of $40 billion liquidity.
