据OE网站7月28日报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼集团（Eni）表示，第二季度调整后净利润较上年同期下降49%，反映出油气价格下跌以及炼油利润率下降。调整后的净利润为19.4亿欧元（21.3亿美元），低于去年同期的38.1亿欧元，但高于分析师预期的16.4亿欧元。

然而，该集团提高了其天然气业务（GGP）的2023年预期，该业务支撑了第二季度的业绩，调整后的运营利润为11亿欧元，超过了分析师预测的5亿欧元。

该公司还调整了其低碳部门Plenitude的全年展望，并下调了今年的资本支出计划。尽管大宗商品价格前景黯淡，埃尼表示，将继续5月份开始的股票回购计划。

埃尼集团首席执行官表示，“考虑到我们上半年的业绩和持续的业务表现，我们有坚实的基础，可以在9月份支付2023年每股提高0.94欧元的第一季度股息，并继续进行22亿欧元的股票回购。埃尼的净利润下降，但强于天然气业务的普遍表现”。

Eni's Net Profit Falls, but Beats Consensus on Strong Gas Business

Italy's Eni said its second-quarter adjusted net profit dropped 49% from last year, reflecting falling oil and gas prices and weaker refining margins. Adjusted net profit in the period came in at 1.94 billion euros ($2.13 billion), down from a bumper result of 3.81 billion euros a year ago, but above an analyst consensus of 1.64 billion euros. 

The group, however, raised its 2023 guidance for its gas business (GGP), which underpinned the group's results in the second quarter with an adjusted operating profit of 1.1 billion euros, beating a 0.5 billion analysts' forecast.

It also tweaked up its full-year outlook for its low-carbon unit Plenitude, and revised down its plans for capital expenditures this year. Despite a bleaker outlook for commodity prices, Eni said it would continue a share buy-back program started in May. 

"Considering our first-half results and continuing business performance that drives raised guidance, we have a solid position from which to pay our first quarterly instalment of the raised 0.94 euros per share 2023 dividend in September and continue our 2.2 billion euro buy-back," Eni CEO Eni's net profit falls, but beats consensus on strong gas business said.
