Benchmark refining margins fell by USD 1.7/bbl in August to USD 8.6/bbl, continuing the trend of recent months. Falling petrol cracks were the main driver, although crude differentials are still a weakness. Petrochemicals margins have benefited from lower oil prices, but remain well below average levels.

Benchmark refining margins rose in July, by USD 0.7/bbl, to USD 9.5/bbl, after four straight months of decline remaining about USD 1.9/bbl higher than usual for the season. Better petrol cracks were the main driver of margins and we believe that this may be temporary. Petrochemicals margins remain under pressure.

Key Message The company reported a clean CCS operating profit of RON 1,379 mn, marking a 15% decline YoY and a 11% decrease quarter-over-quarter. The decline was primarily driven by the weak performance of the Gas & Power segment due to lower sales, higher gas storage obligations, and a decreased refining indicator margin in the R&M segment, partially offset by higher hydrocarbon prices, increased refined product sales, and higher retail and commercial margins in R&M.
Key Message OMV reported a clean CCS-based operating result of EUR 1,232 mn, marking a 4% increase YoY, but a 17% decrease QoQ. The hydrocarbon price environment was stable. Refining margins decreased, likely permanently, negatively impacting the sector. Chemical market recovery is slow. The Gas & Power segment had a challenging quarter, although mostly due to temporary effects. Key positives The key positive development for the quarter is a slight increase in hydrocarbon prices comp...

Benchmark refining margins retreated again in June, by USD 1.9/bbl to USD 9.5/bbl, remaining about USD 1.4/bbl higher than is usual for the season. The decline was due to weaker petrol cracks, driven by increases in supply, we believe. There was little to report in petrochemicals, with margins mostly flat or down slightly.
