Turkey - Petrochemicals - PETKM: Ethylene - Naphtha Prices

• Ethylene-Naphtha spread decreased by 11.1% WoW to USD389.0/ton on February 18th, due to the decrease in ethylene prices (-1.3%) and the increase in the naphtha prices (3.8%).

• So far in 1Q22, the spread averaged at USD559.0/ton vs USD622.5/ton in 1Q21. Note that the spread is a partial indicator for PETKM’s profitability, since final product margins may differ from the spread’s outlook. While we expect strong operational figures in 4Q21 thanks to the demand conditions and geographic advantages, the upward trend in naphtha prices can be seen as a medium-term risk for the profitability.
