马拉松石油第二季度取得好于预期的季度利润

据海外媒体7月29日伦敦报道，在低运营成本以及夏季驾驶季节对汽油强劲需求的帮助下，马拉松石油公司第二季度取得了好于预期的季度利润。

马拉松石油公司说，该公司还从去年12月份12.8亿美元收购美国天然气处理商MarkWest中获益。

马拉松石油公司的总成本和支出在6月30日结束的3个月里下降了19.6%。

然而，马拉松石油公司说，主要由于低裂解价差——原油价格和产品油价格之间的差异，该公司第二季度的炼油和销售毛利率从每桶14.84美元下降到了12.82美元。

第二季度归于马拉松石油公司的净收益从一年前的8.26亿美元减少到了8.01亿美元，而每股收益没有变化，仍保持在1.51美元。

马拉松石油公司第二季度收入和其他所得同比下降了18.4%至167.9亿美元。根据汤森路透I/B/E/S统计数据，分析师平均预测马拉松石油公司第二季度将每股收益0.97美元以及收入168.9亿美元。

Marathon Petroleum Corp posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit, helped by lower operating costs and robust demand for gasoline during the summer driving season.

Marathon said it also gained from the $1.28 billion acquisition of U.S. natural gas processor MarkWest in December.

The company's total cost and expenses fell 19.6 percent in the three months ended June 30.

However, Marathon said its refining and marketing gross margin fell to $12.82 per barrel from $14.84 in the second quarter, mainly due to lower crack spreads - the difference between the prices of crude oil and refined products.

Net income attributable to Marathon fell to $801 million from $826 million a year earlier, while earnings per share were unchanged at $1.51.

Revenue and other income fell 18.4 percent to $16.79 billion.

Analysts on average were expecting earnings of 97 cents per share on revenue of $16.89 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
