据MRCHUB网站7月26日莫斯科报道，南非大型能源化工公司萨索尔(Sasol)近日表示，由于市场产品价格下跌，其化学品销售额在2023财年下降，预计2024财年价格和需求将继续波动。

这家南非能源和化学品集团表示，到6月30日为止的财年（2022/2023年），化学品销售收入从2022财年的105.5亿美元降至89.9亿美元，由于价格下跌抵消了销量的小幅增长。

由于需求下降，今年化学产品的平均销售价格从一年前的每吨1656美元降至每吨1465美元。该公司表示，这与原料和能源成本的增加一起，继续给整体单位利润率和盈利能力带来下行压力。该公司在非洲、美洲和欧亚大陆的三个化工区域的销售额均在公司的指导范围内。由于非洲和美洲的生产和供应链表现有所改善，第四季度的销量环比增长了5%，而欧洲的需求仍然疲软。

展望未来，由于全球市场和石化市场的不确定性，该公司预计2024财年的价格和需求将继续波动。

沙索计划于8月23日公布其2023财年业绩。

Sasol fiscal year 2023 chemical sales fell on lower prices

Sasol said that its chemical sales fell in fiscal 2023 due to lower prices, and that it expects continued pricing and demand volatility in fiscal 2024.

The South African energy and chemicals group said chemicals sales revenue fell to USD8.99 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30, from USD10.55 billion in fiscal 2022, on lower prices offsetting slightly higher sales volumes.

Average sales basket price decreased in the year to USD1,465 a ton from USD1,656 a ton a year prior due to lower demand. This, together with increased feedstock and energy costs, continue to put downward pressure on overall unit margins and profitability, the company said.

All three of its chemical regional segments——Africa, America, Eurasia——achieved sales volumes within the company's guidance ranges. Fourth-quarter sales volumes increased 5% sequentially, with improved production and supply-chain performance in Africa and America, while demand in Europe remained weak.

Looking ahead, the company sees continued pricing and demand volatility in fiscal 2024, with uncertain sentiment in the global market and petrochemical markets.

Sasol plans to publish its fiscal 2023 results on Aug. 23.
