actually one more reason, it did not go up after the Q2 results is because big players who bought before results itself must be confused with its OCI statement that had cause the NTA to decline by RM 4 (net decline considering EPS is RM 2)

we can only hope Q3 results will give them a clearer picture

Guys, Diesel output in 3rd qtr of 2022 in Malaysia is confirmed to be 50% higher than in Q2

you can expect Q3 results to be truly explosive

...............................................


MALAYSIA DATA: Seasonal slowdown sees Apr diesel output drop 40%

10 Jun 2022

Quantum Commodity Intelligence - Seasonal maintenance saw a big drop in diesel production in Malaysia, falling almost 40% over the month as gasoline output jumped around 10%, according to monthly trade ministry data published Friday.

Diesel output fell 39.4% over the month to just 728,886 mt, although that drop-off is in line with seasonal slowdown typically seen in April with output up 10.5% versus 2021 but still down 28.7% compared to 2019.

...........

MALAYSIA DATA: Diesel output at 8-month high, LNG nears record

9 Sep 2022

Malaysia’s output of diesel reached an eight-month high in July and LNG topped 3 million mt for only the second time on record, as producers responded to soaring prices for both products.

Diesel production grew 3.9% to 1.24 million tonnes, up around 2.5% on the year to its highest level since November 2021, according to data from the Malaysian Department of Statistics.

..............

1,240.000 / 728,886

this 2.1 Billion that is causing the NTA to rise by RM 7 is not an imaginary figure....

but can really be made into realized PROFIT of 2.1 Billion in Q3 itself..

provided HY chose to close their hedging position at the futures for all of the 16 million barrels of gasoline they had hedged (they need not wait for the instruments to mature or wait for physical market transaction for the same barrels to take place)

But, HY would not do that, as their hedging instruments are not for making gains from speculative interest..but only to deliver consistent profit every qtr....

as of Q2 closing 30/06/2022, the crack spread for gasoline had exploded to 31 USD/brl

the loss in hedging instruments if recognized going forward is as per below:

= 16 million barrels x ( 31 - 10) USD/brl
= 336 million USD ( MYR 1.5 billion at exch 4.5) net Liability!


as of Q3 closing 30/09/2022, the crack spread had collapsed to 1.65 USD/brl

the gain in hedging instruments if recognized going forward is as per below:

when you hedge crack spread of gasoline say 12 million barrels in Q1, it means you buy 12 million barrels of crude oil at say 100 USD/brl and sell Gasoline 12 million barrels at 110 USD/brl in futures...with staggered maturity periods...say 2 million barrels per qtr

Now say after Q2 at end of 30th June, if your crack spread for gasoline is closed at 30 USD/brl with crude price 88 USD/brl and gasoline at 118 USD/brl, the OCI will report as per below:

For crude oil bought left at 10 million barrels:
..................................

You have a loss in fair value:
= 10 million barrels x ( 88 - 100 USD/brl
= (120 million USD)

The above is the money you lose when you sell back the crude bought in futures if the price maintains going forward

For gasoline you sold at 10 million barrels:
..................................

You have a loss in fair value:
= 10 million barrels x ( 110 - 118 USD/brl
= (80 million USD)

The above is the money you lose when you buy back the gasoline you sold earlier in futures if the price maintains going forward

The net change derivatives in OCI will be:

= (120) + (80)
= (200 million USD)....(1)

The above figure is exactly the same by just seeing the change in crack spread of gasoline as per below:

= 10 million barrels left to mature x (spot crack spread at end of reporting period - hedged crack spread)
= 10 million x ( 30 - 10 )
= (200 million USD)....(2)

........

(1) and (2) shows just by looking at the change in crack spread compared to hedged values, you can determine the change in liabilities...or net asset..

very important information shared by sslee

to those who can understand, they will know how profound this is on refining margin when oil price is at this level compared to USD 50/brl in 2017


https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/refining-crude-oil-inputs-and-outputs.php#:~:text=The%20total%20volume%20of%20products,volume%20is%20called%20processing%20gain.

Posted by Sslee > Sep 30, 2022 2:36 PM | Report Abuse

Refining output is larger than input
The total volume of products refineries produce (output) is greater than the volume of crude oil that refineries process (input) because most of the products they make have a lower density than the crude oil they process. This increase in volume is called processing gain. The average processing gain at U.S. refineries was about 6.2% in 2021. In 2021, U.S. refineries produced an average of about 45 gallons of refined products for every 42-gallon barrel of crude oil they refined.

inventory and crude oil price changes has absolutely no effect on HY P&L statement..

explained many times, monthly hedging is done simultaneously on both crude and refined products and lags by a month on cash market (physical market) transaction

thats why the phenomenal margin of June will only be reflected in July with huge hedging gains...

MALAYSIA DATA: DIESEL output at 8-month high, LNG nears record!

9 Sep 2022

Quantum Commodity Intelligence – Malaysia’s output of diesel reached an eight-month high in July and LNG topped 3 million mt for only the second time on record, as producers responded to soaring prices for both products.

Diesel production grew 3.9% to 1.24 million tonnes, up around 2.5% on the year to its highest level since November 2021, according to data from the Malaysian Department of Statistics.

And liquified natural gas (LNG) ticked up 1.4% to just over 3 million tonnes for only the second time on record going back to 2009.

Both diesel and natural gas markets have tightened this year sending prices soaring, especially in Europe following the war in Ukraine.

Europe has been scrambling to find alternative supplies of natural gas after political tensions with its biggest supplier – Russia – ratcheted up after the invasion.

But Europe will have to compete with Asia for LNG supplies this winter.

Fuel oil was the only other oil product to increase in July, up 14.5% from June to 172,000mt.

Malaysia’s output of gasoline fell 2.6% to 580,000mt in July, down 3% from a year earlier.

Naphtha was 16% lower at 259,000mt, down 21% from last July.

And jet fuel production fell 11% to 243,000mt, down 34% from a year earlier.

@cactus, actually its possible if my deduction that they had only hedged gasoline and managed to maximize diesel yield by 3rd qtr (as it takes a little time tp switch their feed crude type, and plant process)

considering their cash flow hedge reserve figure, i would advocate on sticking to the below figure

@Probability, any opinion on 3rd quarter result? Is it possible 3rd result will be even higher than 2nd quarter due to hedging?
