中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站2月16日报道，西班牙雷普索尔（Repsol）周四表示，受石油和天然气价格上涨的影响，去年第四季度调整后的净利润增加了一倍多，并表示今年资本支出将大幅增加。
该公司2022年第四季度利润从一年前的8.72亿欧元飙升至20.1亿欧元（21.5亿美元），超过了Refinitiv Eikon调查的分析师预期的17.5亿欧元。
2022年的净利润从2021年的25亿欧元跃升至42.5亿欧元。尽管业绩强劲，但该公司股价在早盘交易中下跌了3%，此前该公司表示将把今年的资本支出从去年的41.8亿欧元增加到50亿欧元以上。加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)驻伦敦分析师比拉杰·博尔卡塔里亚(Biraj Borkhataria)表示，如今的市场表现是由2023年资本支出指导推动的。雷普索尔计划在有机投资上投入逾50亿欧元。这是一个相当大的进步，投资者需要明确这一计划的具体走向，才能对雷普索尔的计划有信心。
雷普索尔利用其较高的现金流将2022年资本投资增加40%，将净债务减少60%至22.6亿欧元，并提高股东薪酬。
该公司计划将现金股息提高11%，至每股0.70欧元，并回购3500万股额外股票，相当于其资本的2.64%，并赎回5000万股，相当于资本的3.77%。
在雷普索尔公布巨额利润之前，规模更大的竞争对手道达尔能源、英国石油(bp)、壳牌(Shell)、埃克森美孚(Exxon Mobil)和雪佛龙(Chevron)也发布了类似的报告，在家庭难以支付能源账单之际，这引发了对该行业进一步征税的呼吁。
雷普索尔公司的首席执行官Josu Jon Imaz去年表示，在企业的投资计划对确保能源安全至关重要之际，新税将威胁到企业的投资计划。

Repsol Flags Big Spending Increase as Profit Beats Forecasts
Spain's Repsol said>Its fourth-quarter profit surged to 2.01 billion euros ($2.15 billion) from 872 million a year earlier, topping the 1.75 billion euros expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv Eikon.
Net income for 2022 jumped to 4.25 billion euros up from 2.5 billion euros in 2021. Despite the strong performance, its shares fell as much as 3% in morning trading after the company said it would increase capital spending to more than 5 billion euros this year from 4.18 billion last year. "I think the weakness today is driven by the 2023 capex guidance," said Biraj Borkhataria, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets in London.
"Repsol plans to spend more than 5 billion euros in organic investments. This is quite a step up and investors will need clarity>Repsol used its higher cash flow to increase capital investment by 40% in 2022, reduce its net debt by 60% to 2.26 billion euros and increase shareholders' remuneration.
The company plans to raise its cash dividend by 11% to 0.70 euro per share and buy back 35 million additional shares, equivalent to 2.64% of its capital, and redeem 50 million shares, equivalent to 3.77% of its capital.
Repsol's hefty profit follows similar reports from larger rivals TotalEnergies, BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron, prompting calls to further tax the sector as households struggle to pay energy bills.
Repsol's Chief Executive Officer Josu Jon Imaz said last year that new taxes would threaten companies' investment plans at a time when they are crucial to ensure energy security.
