Profit machinery upgraded while volume still arriving: realized structural margin step-up with growth flowing onto it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录来判断。管理层是否传达了公司已经实现了每单位业务的经济性结构性改善(通过公司自身的变化,在近期实际结果中可见),并且业务量同时增长到该改善的结构上,使得每个新增增量以新的更好比率转化为利润,且大部分新增量仍在前方?需要两个条件都满足。 首先,看每单位经济性改善。管理层提到了成本结构、FPSO合同等,但关键是在近期实际结果中是否已经实现。在电话会议中,George Maxwell提到“margin expansion and per barrel cost reductions”,但具体到实际结果,他们提到生产费用每桶从Q1的26.02美元降至Q2的25.02美元,但这是因为产量增加,而实际成本持平。他们提到“About 90% of our production costs are fixed and those production increases per barrel costs will decrease dramatically.” 但这是未来预期,不是已经实现的。他们提到FPSO合同谈判,但尚未达成。他们提到工作over等,但那是成本。他们提到“we have completed our second ESG report”等。没有明确说已经实现了每单位经济性的结构性改善,比如通过改变商业模式或成本结构,在近期结果中已经体现。他们提到“the accretive nature of the deal”但那是收购带来的产量增加,不是每单位经济性改善。实际上,他们提到“per unit production expense excluding workover of $25.02 per barrel in Q2 2021, decreased as compared to $26.02 in Q1”,但这是因为产量增加,而实际成本持平,所以不是结构性改善,而是规模效应。而且他们提到“The per unit rate in the second quarter of 2021 increased 30% from the rate in the year ago quarter, primarily due to the increase in working interest costs associated with the Sasol acquisition”,所以同比是上升的。所以没有证据表明他们已经实现了每单位经济性的结构性改善,更多是未来预期。 其次,看业务量增长。他们提到产量增加,但那是收购带来的,不是有机增长。他们提到即将进行的钻井计划,但那是未来。他们提到“we are now planning on completing two workovers during the third quarter”等,但那是维护。他们提到“we have completed a feasibility study for the standalone development of the Venus discovery”但那是未来。他们提到“we are moving forward now with a field development concept”但那是计划。所以业务量增长主要是收购带来的,而且已经反映在结果中,没有说大部分还在前方。他们提到“we should see significant uplift in 2022”但那是未来。 因此,两个条件都不满足。答案应为NO。
