Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) reported its results for the
first quarter of 2019 on Thursday. Here's how it came in:
EARNINGS: Shell reported a profit for the three months ended
March. 31 on an adjusted net current cost-of-supplies basis--a
figure similar to the net income that U.S. oil companies report and
which strips out certain items--of $5.3 billion. While down on the
year-earlier period, it beat a consensus estimate from 23 analysts
compiled by Vara Research that forecast $4.54 billion.
REVENUE: Shell reported first-quarter revenue of $83.74 billion,
down 6.2% on the previous year. A consensus estimate from three
analysts supplied by FactSet had forecast the Anglo-Dutch oil
company's revenue at $82.2 billion.
WHAT WE WATCHED:
-BUYBACKS: Shell launched its latest tranche of buybacks and
racked up the figure to $2.75 billion. The company launched a $25
billion buyback program last year and the previous tranche had been
worth $2.5 billion.
-INTEGRATED GAS: Total gas production slipped 12% as a result of
previous disposals, as previously advertised by Shell. However, the
divisions cash flow from operations rose 65% to $4.23 billion,
boosted by rising realized prices in gas and liquefied natural
gas.
Shares at 0942 GMT were up 2.5% at 2,489 pence.
