2. EXPLANATIONS ON THE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
(i) Explanations on the operating results for the first half of 2013
During the first half of 2013, the macro-economic recovery in China was weaker than expected, with the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in China continuing to hit new lows and the macro economy not yet being stabilized. Overall sentiment in the domestic petrochemical market and hence overall performance declined due to severe overcapacity and sluggish demand during the period. The market did not yet show any signs of stabilizing.
Since 2013, the Company has been committed to achieving the goal of “being domestically advanced and globally the first class” among refining and petrochemical corporations. With safe and stable operations as its base, the market as its orientation and economic return as its center, the Company has further strengthened resource allocation, energy conservation, discharge and emissions reduction and unit consumption reduction efforts, as well as product mix optimization, taking full advantage of the completion of its refinery revamping and expansion project, all to overcome the unfavorable macroeconomic environment and to improve economic return.
During the first half of 2013, the Company processed 7,707,300 tons of crude oil (including 350,400 tons of crude oil processing by subcontract), representing an increase of 2,189,200 tons, or 39.67%, over the corresponding period of the previous year. The average cost of crude oil processing is RMB4,853.39/ton, representing a decrease of RMB612.14/ton, or 11.20%, from RMB5,465.53/ton over the corresponding period of the previous year.
At the end of 2012, construction of the Refinery Revamping and Expansion Project was completed and put into full operation, enhancing the Company’s flexibility and depth in crude oil processing, improving resource allocation and utilization, further allowing the optimization of feedstock allocation and product mix, helping to improve operating performance as well as significantly increasing the production volume of the more profitable gasoline products. During the first half of 2013, the Company produced 1,381,600 tons of gasoline, representing an increase of 944,100 tons, or 215.79%, over the corresponding period of the previous year; and produced 2,514,800 tons of diesel, representing an increase of 458,300 tons, or 22.29%, over the corresponding period of the previous year. In addition, in March 2013, an improved pricing mechanism for refined oil products was implemented a further step toward marketization, hence reducing the impacts on the Company’s refining business brought by policy factors. This will have the effect of stabilizing and improving profitability of the refining business.
Prices of the Company’s petrochemical products bottomed out in March and April 2013, but the petrochemical business left the doldrums gradually and turned around to record profit in May and June 2013.
