Repsol 2Q Adjusted Net Profit Falls 7.3% On Lower Production

Thursday, Jul 28, 2011

MADRID (Dow Jones)--Spanish oil firm Repsol YPF SA (REP.MC) Thursday posted a 7.3% drop in second-quarter net profit, excluding inventory effects, on lower production in Libya and Argentina.

Operating profit fell 24.2% to EUR1.11 billion from EUR1.47 billion, as higher oil prices overall failed to offset the effects of lower production in Argentina, where worker strikes helped decrease output, and in war-ravaged Libya, where Repsol 's production ceased in early March.

Replacement-cost-adjusted net profit, the figure most closely watched by analysts, fell to EUR485 million from EUR523 million a year earlier. This measure, equivalent to the clean replacement cost of supplies, strips out volatile swings in the value of inventories.

Repsol 's unadjusted net profit in the quarter was EUR579 million, down 10.9% from EUR650 million a year earlier, but well above the EU424.4 million analysts' consensus estimate compiled by Factset.
