Brief comment
The petrochemical industry is in a good situation, and the company's revenue is growing steadily: the Q1-Q4 net profit of the company is 0.27,0.26,0.60 and 195 million yuan respectively, of which the company's performance is the highest in the fourth quarter, mainly due to the transfer of 30 per cent equity in Zhejiang Yaojiang Cultural Plaza Investment and Development Co., Ltd. (the impact amount is about 190 million yuan). During the reporting period, the petrochemical industry maintained a good development trend, the production capacity and efficiency of the industry increased steadily, and the company's oil and gas business made steady progress, with oil and gas sales revenue of 5.405 billion for the whole year, an increase of 16.16% over the same period last year. The operating capacity of new materials and devices continued to improve, and Ningbo Haiyue achieved sales revenue of 5.634 billion yuan, an increase of 6.52% over the same period last year. The company completed the merger and reorganization of northern oil, and the synergy of warehousing, trade and petrochemical production was further strengthened. In terms of expenses, the company's current management expenses increased by 98.71% to 440 million, mainly due to the increase in triennial overhaul expenses and R & D expenses of the subsidiary Ningbo Haiyue; the financial expenses decreased by 56.72% to 175 million. Ningbo Haiyue generated exchange gains due to RMB appreciation in the current period, and exchange losses due to RMB depreciation in the same period last year.
With the expansion of the PDH price gap, Ningbo Haiyue is expected to reverse its losses in 18 years, and the second phase is already planned, and the production cost will be greatly reduced after it is put into production: the average price difference of PDH from January to March 2018 is US $427 / ton, which is 35% higher than the annual average of US $317 / ton in 2017. the downstream demand for propylene is growing rapidly, and the consumption growth rate on the table in 2016 is 13%. The rise in oil prices is good for PDH to produce propylene. With the stricter and stricter environmental protection and the strict implementation of the sixth national standards, it is expected to improve the demand for isooctane. On the whole, Ningbo Haiyue is expected to turn losses into profits in 18 years.
Ningbo Phase I (600000 tons of ethylene and 600000 tons of isooctane) has been put into production, and Ningbo Phase II is already under planning and is expected to extend and develop in the C 3 C 4 deep processing industry chain. after the landing of the project, the scale advantage is obvious and the cost will be greatly reduced.
