MRCHUB网站4月22日莫斯科报道，陶氏表示，尽管能源成本上涨，但陶氏第一季度销售额同比增长28%，息税前营业利润(EBIT)跃升近56%。

陶氏在所有经营部门、业务和地区的销售额均实现增长。截至2022年3月31日止三个月的营业息税前利润率从2021年第一季度的13.1%增至15.9%。

受性能材料和涂料、包装和特种塑料的增长推动，净销售额较2021年第四季度增长6%，第一季度销售量同比增长3%，所有业务部门以及美国、加拿大和拉丁美洲都有所增长。

销量增长5%，反映出对硅和聚乙烯（PE）应用的强劲需求。然而，陶氏的股票收益同比下降，主要是由于其在沙特阿拉伯的Sadara石化合资企业计划进行维护活动。

由于亚太地区的PE和单乙二醇（MEG）利润率较低，股票收益下降。

与此同时，陶氏正在推进其脱碳战略，并在向更可持续的世界过渡的过程中，潜在收益将增长30亿美元以上。

Dow Q1 sales rise 28%

Dow’s Q1 sales rose 28% year on year and operating earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) jumped nearly 56% - despite higher energy costs, said the company.

Dow saw sales growth in all operating segments, businesses and regions. The operating EBIT margin for the three months ended 31 March 2022 expanded to 15.9%, from 13.1% in Q1 2021.

Sequentially, net sales were up 6% from Q4 2021, driven by gains in Performance Materials & Coatings and Packaging & Specialty Plastics. Q1 volume increased 3% year on year, with gains in all operating segments and in the US & Canada and Latin America.

Sequentially, volume was up 5%, reflecting strong demand for silicon's and polyethylene (PE) applications. However, Dow’s equity earnings fell year on year, primarily due to planned maintenance activity at its Sadara petrochemicals joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

Sequentially, equity earnings fell because of lower PE and mono ethylene glycol (MEG) margins in Asia Pacific.

At the same time, Dow is advancing its strategy to decarbonise and grow underlying earnings by more than USD3bn in the transition to a more sustainable world.
