据道琼斯巴黎10月29日消息,法国石油巨头道达尔周四表示,该公司第三季度净利润同比下降69%至10.8亿美元,主要是受油价持续低迷以及该公司加拿大油砂资产减记6.5亿美元的拖累。
三季度道达尔调整后净利润仅下降22%,至27.6亿美元。调整后净利润是一个受到密切关注的指标,剔除了减记等一次性支出。调整后利润高于接受FactSet调查的10位分析师给出的23.8亿美元预期中值。
近年来,受一些大型项目投产的刺激,道达尔公司已经逐步提高了产量。同时公司已经加快实施削减成本、推迟投资和出售资产的应对措施。
该法国石油巨头将今年产量增幅目标上调至逾9%,此前为8%,该公司称仅今年一年就将进行为期三年、规模100亿美元资产出售计划的一半。

Total's Net Profit Falls 69%
By Inti Landauro
PARIS--French oil giant Total SA said Thursday its net profit plunged 69% during the third quarter, compared with a year earlier, to $1.08 billion, dragged down by stubbornly low oil prices and a $650 million write-down on the company's Canadian oil-sands assets.
Total's adjusted net profit--a closely watched figure that strips out one-time charges like write-downs--fell just 22% to $2.76 million. The adjusted profit was higher than the $2.38 billion median forecast of 10 analysts polled by FactSet.
Total has ramped up production in recent years, the result of several big projects coming online. At the same time, it has raced to cut costs, delay investments and sell assets.
The French oil major raised its output target increase for this year to more than 9%, up from 8% previously, and said it would carry out half of its $10 billion three-year asset sale plan this year alone.
