據(jù)沙特阿美網(wǎng)站3月12日公布其2022年全年的財(cái)務(wù)業(yè)績(jī)，報(bào)告了1611億美元的創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄凈收入——這是沙特阿美作為上市公司的最高年度利潤(rùn)。同時(shí)還宣布了去年第四季度195億美元的股息，將在2023年第一季度支付。

這一業(yè)績(jī)得到了原油價(jià)格走強(qiáng)、銷售量增加和精煉產(chǎn)品利潤(rùn)率提高的支撐，同時(shí)公司繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)其石油和天然氣生產(chǎn)能力以及下游產(chǎn)品組合，以滿足預(yù)期的未來需求。

“沙特阿美在2022年實(shí)現(xiàn)了創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的財(cái)務(wù)業(yè)績(jī)，因?yàn)槿澜绲男枨笤黾樱蛢r(jià)走強(qiáng)。我們還繼續(xù)專注于我們的長(zhǎng)期戰(zhàn)略，在整個(gè)價(jià)值鏈上建立能力和實(shí)力，目的是解決能源安全和可持續(xù)性問題。

“鑒于我們預(yù)計(jì)石油和天然氣在可預(yù)見的未來仍將是必不可少的，我們行業(yè)投資不足的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)是真實(shí)的——包括導(dǎo)致能源價(jià)格上漲。為了利用我們獨(dú)特的規(guī)模優(yōu)勢(shì)并成為全球解決方案的一部分，阿美石油公司已經(jīng)開始了其歷史上最大的資本支出計(jì)劃，去年我們的資本支出增長(zhǎng)了18.0%，達(dá)到376億美元。

“我們的重點(diǎn)不僅是擴(kuò)大石油、天然氣和化學(xué)品的生產(chǎn)，而且還投資于新的低碳技術(shù)，有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)額外的減排——在我們自己的業(yè)務(wù)中和為我們產(chǎn)品的終端用戶。”

財(cái)務(wù)亮點(diǎn)

沙特阿美2022年的凈收入增加了46.5%，在2022年達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的1611億美元，而2021年為1100億美元。凈收入的增加反映了原油價(jià)格的走強(qiáng)、銷售量的增加和精煉產(chǎn)品利潤(rùn)率的提高。2022年第四季度的凈收入符合市場(chǎng)分析的估計(jì)，不包括某些非現(xiàn)金項(xiàng)目的約33億美元。

2022年的自由現(xiàn)金流達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的1485億美元，而2021年為1075億美元。沙特阿美繼續(xù)強(qiáng)調(diào)強(qiáng)勁的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表，2022年底的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債率為-7.9%，而2021年底為12.0%。

沙特阿美宣布2022年第四季度的股息為195億美元，將在2023年第一季度支付。這意味著與2022年第三季度相比增加了4.0%，與公司旨在提供可持續(xù)和漸進(jìn)式股息的股息政策相一致。此外，董事會(huì)還建議向符合條件的股東分配紅股，金額為每持有10股送1股，但須經(jīng)必要的特別大會(huì)和監(jiān)管部門批準(zhǔn)。

2022年的沙特阿美資本支出為376億美元，比2021年增長(zhǎng)18.0%。預(yù)計(jì)2023年資本支出約為450億至550億美元，包括外部投資，資本支出將增加，直到未來十年中期左右。

Aramco announces record full-year 2022 results

Record net income: $161.1 billion (2021: $110.0 billion)

Record free cash flow*: $148.5 billion (2021: $107.5 billion)

Q4 2022 net income in line with analyst consensus, excluding certain non-cash items of c.$3.3 billion

The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Aramco” or “the Company”) today announced its full-year 2022 financial results, reporting a record net income of $161.1 billion — its highest annual profits as a listed company. Aramco also declared a fourth quarter dividend of $19.5 billion, to be paid in the first quarter of 2023.

The results were underpinned by stronger crude oil prices, higher volumes sold and improved margins for refined products, while the Company continues to strengthen its oil and gas production capacity, as well as its downstream portfolio, to meet anticipated future demand.

Commenting on the results, Aramco President & CEO Amin H. Nasser, said:

“Aramco delivered record financial performance in 2022, as oil prices strengthened due to increased demand around the world. We also continued to focus on our long-term strategy, building both capacity and capability across the value chain with the aim of addressing energy security and sustainability.

“Given that we anticipate oil and gas will remain essential for the foreseeable future, the risks of underinvestment in our industry are real — including contributing to higher energy prices. To leverage our unique advantages at scale and be part of the global solution, Aramco has embarked on the largest capital spending program in its history, and last year our capex rose by 18.0% to reach $37.6 billion.

“Our focus is not only on expanding oil, gas and chemicals production, but also investing in new lower-carbon technologies with potential to achieve additional emission reductions — in our own operations and for end users of our products.”

Financial Highlights

Aramco’s net income increased by 46.5% to a record $161.1 billion in 2022, compared to $110.0 billion in 2021. The increase in net income reflects stronger crude oil prices, higher volumes sold and improved margins for refined products. Q4 2022 net income is in line with analyst estimates, excluding certain non-cash items of around $3.3 billion.

Free cash flow* reached a record $148.5 billion in 2022, compared to $107.5 billion in 2021. Aramco continues to emphasize a strong balance sheet and its gearing ratio at the end of 2022 was -7.9%, compared to 12.0% at the end of 2021.

Aramco declared a dividend of $19.5 billion for the fourth quarter, to be paid in Q1 2023. This represents a 4.0% increase compared to the previous quarter, aligned with the Company’s dividend policy aiming to deliver a sustainable and progressive dividend. Additionally, the Board of Directors also recommended the distribution of bonus shares to eligible shareholders in the amount of one share for every 10 shares held, subject to required Extraordinary General Assembly and regulatory approvals.

Capital expenditure in 2022 was $37.6 billion, an increase of 18.0% from 2021. Aramco expects 2023 capital expenditure to be approximately $45.0 billion to $55.0 billion including external investments, with capex increasing until around the middle of the decade.

Aramco also completed an energy infrastructure deal in February 2022 resulting in a consortium of investors, led by BlackRock Real Assets and Hassana Investment Company, acquiring a 49% stake in a newly formed subsidiary, Aramco Gas Pipelines Company (AGPC), for $15.5 billion.

Operational Highlights

In 2022, Aramco’s average hydrocarbon production was 13.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mmboed), including 11.5 million barrels per day (mmbpd) of total liquids.

Aramco continued its strong track record of supply reliability by delivering crude oil and other products with 99.9% reliability in 2022. It was the third year running that Aramco achieved this level of reliability.

Upstream continues to execute its growth plans to promote long-term productivity of Saudi Arabia’s reservoirs and is proceeding with implementing the Government’s mandate to increase Aramco’s crude oil MSC to 13.0 mmbpd by 2027.

Construction and engineering activities for the Marjan and Berri crude oil increments continue to progress, and are expected to add production capacity of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) and 250,000 bpd, respectively, by 2025.

The Zuluf crude oil increment is in the engineering phase, and is expected to provide a central facility to process a total of 600,000 bpd of crude oil from the Zuluf field by 2026. Construction activities are also continuing on the Dammam development project, which is expected to add 25,000 bpd and 50,000 bpd of crude oil by 2024 and 2027, respectively.

Compression projects at the Haradh and Hawiyah fields commenced commissioning activities and full capacity is expected to be reached in 2023. Construction at the Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage, the first underground natural gas storage project in the Kingdom, is at an advanced stage and has commenced injection activities. The program is designed to provide up to 2.0 billion standard cubic feet per day of natural gas for reintroduction into the Kingdom’s Master Gas System by 2024.

In August, Aramco signed an equity purchase agreement to acquire Valvoline Inc.’s global products business (Valvoline Global Products) for $2.65 billion. The strategic acquisition, which closed in March 2023, will complement Aramco’s line of premium branded lubricant products, optimize its global base oils production capabilities, and expand Aramco’s own R&D activities and partnerships with original equipment manufacturers. 

In November, three transactions with Polish refiner and fuel retailer PKN ORLEN were completed, expanding Aramco’s presence in the European downstream sector. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired equity stakes of 30% in a 210,000 bpd refinery in Gdańsk; 100% in an associated wholesale business; and 50% in a jet fuel marketing joint venture.

Aramco and TotalEnergies made a final investment decision in December to construct a large petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia. It will enable an existing SATORP refinery to advance Aramco’s liquids-to-chemicals strategy. The investment decision is subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.

In October, Aramco established a $1.5 billion Sustainability Fund to invest in technology needed to support a stable and inclusive energy transition. The fund plans to invest in technologies that support the Company’s announced Scope 1 and Scope 2 net-zero 2050 ambition in its wholly-owned operational assets, as well as development of new lower-carbon fuels.

In November, a joint development agreement between Aramco and the Ministry of Energy was signed to construct one of the largest planned carbon capture and storage hubs in the world in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, with a storage capacity of up to 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year by 2027.
