據6月29日Gulf Times報道，阿布扎比國家能源公司(簡稱Taqa)的集團收入在2020年一季度下降了9%，至40億迪拉姆，原因是該公司銷售的石油和天然氣價格下降了21%。

這家能源巨頭在一份聲明中表示，該集團現在下調了其對2020年和2021年油價的預期，這反過來導致了某些與石油相關的資產的減記，其稅后利潤將達15億迪拉姆。

阿布扎比證券交易所首席執行官Saeed Al Dhaheri在一份聲明中表示:“疫情削弱了全球多個行業的需求，影響了我們第一季度的業績，也影響了其他石油和天然氣行業的業績。”

公司息稅前折舊和攤銷前利潤下降18%，至19億迪拉姆，部分原因是石油和天然氣業務的運營支出上升。

在未來幾個月，Taqa預計將從穩定的收入中獲益。阿布扎比電力公司(ADPower Corp.)的公用事業發電、輸電和配電資產的大部分轉讓已于今年4月獲得批準，并將在第三季度完成。

Abu Dhabi's Taqa sees first-quarter revenue drop to Dh4b

Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. – or Taqa – saw group revenues decline 9 per cent to Dh4 billion for the first three months of 2020, brought on by a 21 per cent in the price of oil and gas sold by it.

The group has now “reduced” its 2020 and 2021 oil price projections, which in turn has led to a write-down of “certain oil-specific assets with a post-tax bottom-line impact of Dh1.5 billion”, the energy major said in a statement.

“The advent of COVID-19 has weakened demand across multiple sectors globally, impacting our results for the first quarter, as for many others with exposure to the oil and gas sector,” said Saeed Al Dhaheri, CEO, in a statement issued to ADX (Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange).

The EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was down 18 per cent to Dh1.9 billion, partly a result of higher operating expenses in the oil and gas operations.

For the months ahead, Taqa expects to see benefits from “stable revenue streams”. The transfer of a majority of the utility generation, transmission and distribution assets of Abu Dhabi Power Corp. (ADPower) to Taqa was approved in April. The process will be completed in the third quarter.
