MUMBAI – Oil and Natural Gas Corp Ltd beat the Street's estimates on its standalone net profit for the quarter ended June, but missed the topline estimate. The state-owned upstream oil and gas major reported a standalone net profit of 89.38 bln rupees in Apr-Jun, down 15.1% on year and 9.4% sequentially. However, it was above the analysts' average estimate of 86.78 bln rupees.
The company's standalone revenue from operations went up 4.3% on year and 1.8% on quarter to 352.66 bln rupees. It was below the Street's estimate of 354.7 bln rupees.
The June quarter revenue growth of the company came on the back of a 10.4% on-year rise in net crude oil realisation from nominated fields to 6,928 rupees per bbl, from 6,277 rupees per bbl. In dollar terms, the net crude oil realisation from nominated fields increased 8.8% on year to $83.05 per bbl from $76.36 per bbl.
The total crude oil production in the June quarter declined 1.4% on quarter to 5.24 mln tn, according to the data provided by the company in a post-earnings press release. The total natural gas output declined 4.1% on year to 5.01 bln cubic metres. The natural gas price on gross calorific value basis declined 3.1% on year in Apr-Jun.
The company's revenue from offshore operations was up 4.8% on year at 241.87 bln rupees, while the onshore operations revenue went up by 3.1% to 110.79 bln rupees.
Mainly due to a sharp rise of 31% in statutory levies, including windfall cess, to 97.72 bln rupees, and a 62% jump up in written-off exploration costs to 16.43 bln rupees, the earnings before interest and tax fell 15.5% on year to 120.07 bln rupees. The offshore operations segment recorded a fall of 13.6% on year to 102.26 bln rupees while that in the onshore operations fell nearly 25% on year to 17.79 bln rupees. More
