原标题：埃克森美孚四季度业绩被200亿美元资产减记抵消

中国石化新闻网讯据ICIS-MRC网站1月12日莫斯科报道，据路透社报道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobilCorp)在一份监管文件中表示，油价上涨和化学品利润率的提高将有助于其第四季度的业绩，但这一增长将被高达200亿美元的资产减记所抵消。

这家美国最大的石油生产商宣布，在2020年前三个季度出现亏损，由于不合时宜的支出增加，加之燃料需求和价格下滑。投资者要求进一步削减开支，新任董事并重新关注清洁燃料。

周三股市收盘后提交的文件显示，埃克森美孚预计油价上涨将使其石油和天然气业务业绩依次提高2亿至10亿美元。该油气业务在第三季度遭受了3.83亿美元的经营亏损。

该文件还表明，炼油业务又出现了运营亏损，但化学品利润率的上升使该部门的运营利润增加了2亿至4亿美元。在前一个季度，炼油业务亏损2.31亿美元，化工业务盈利6.61亿美元。

此前估计，大部分天然气资产的减记在170亿-200亿美元之间，此次申报缩小了减值费用的范围。

埃克森美孚去年开始在每个季度结束后提供其主要业务概况，让投资者了解其运营情况。此前许多数据的更新导致华尔街下调了利润预期。官方结果将于2月2日公布。

在去年第四季度，该公司计划进一步削减成本，将在去年和今年削减至少100亿美元的资本支出，并将裁员15%的第一阶段持续到今年12月。

根据Refinitiv IBES的数据显示，调整后的第四季度亏损可能达到34.7亿美元，或每股61美分，而前一年同期的利润为56.9亿美元，或每股1.33美元。

埃克森美孚在股市收盘后公布了相关细节。该股收涨33美分，至41.60美元，但迄今已下跌41%。

ExxonMobil signals up to USD20 B writedown to overwhelm 4Q gains in oil, chemicals

ExxonMobil Corp signaled in a regulatory filing that higher oil and gas prices and improved chemicals margins would aid fourth quarter results, but the gains would be overshadowed by an up to USD20 billion asset writedown, reported Reuters.

The largest US oil producer has posted losses in the first three quarters of 2020 on an ill-timed spending increase that collided with a downturn in fuel demand and prices. It faces a proxy fight next year by an activist investor calling for deeper cuts, new directors and a refocusing on cleaner fuels.

The filing after the market closed on Wednesday showed Exxon expects higher prices will sequentially lift its oil and gas operating results by between USD200 million and USD1 billion. That business suffered a USD383 million operating loss in the third quarter.

The filing also signaled another operating loss in refining, but higher chemicals margins drove operating profit in that unit by between USD200 million and USD400 million. In the prior quarter, refining posted a USD231 million loss while chemicals turned a USD661 million profit.

The writedown of mostly natural gas properties was previously estimated at between USD17 billion and USD20 billion and the filing narrowed the range of the impairment charge.

Exxon last year began providing a snapshot of its key businesses after the end of each quarter to give investors insight into operations. Many of those prior updates led Wall Street to lower profit forecasts.

Official results are scheduled to be released Feb. 2.

During the final quarter, the company outlined plans for deeper cost cuts that will chop capital spending by at least USD10 billion this year and next, and the first stages of a 15% workforce reduction that will continue through next December.

Adjusted fourth-quarter loss could hit USD3.47 billion, or 61 cents per share, according to Refinitiv IBES data, compared with a year-earlier profit of USD5.69 billion, or USD1.33 per share.

Exxon posted the details after the market close. Its shares finished up 33 cents at USD41.60 but are down 41% year to date.
