KUALA LUMPUR (June 9): Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is allocating about RM60 billion for capital expenditure (capex) in financial year ending Dec 31, 2022 (FY22) compared with RM30.5 billion a year earlier as the Malaysian national oil company prepares for the resumption of business activities, which were earlier disrupted by Covid-19-driven movement restrictions, and as the group sets aside money for clean energy or non-hydrocarbon-related ventures.
"This year, we expect to almost double that [capex] amount which is RM60 billion, because of catch-up and the return of [business] activities. This is also the time we have to make inroads in some material steps into the non-hydrocarbon side of things," Petronas chief financial officer Liza Mustapha said on Thursday (June 9) at the MIDF Conversations event, which was held virtually.
MIDF group managing director Datuk Charon Mokhzani was the moderator for the event.
Liza said that out of Petronas' planned RM60 billion capex allocation for FY22, about RM40 billion has been earmarked for the oil and gas business besides non-hydrocarbon–related operations while the balance of the capex allocation has been earmarked to finance Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd's (PetChem) wholly-owned subsidiary Petronas Chemicals International B.V. (PCIBV) proposed acquisition of the entire stake in Sweden-based specialty chemicals group Perstorp Holding AB for €1.54 billion (about RM7.02 billion) from Financiere Foret S.A.R.L.
Petronas owns a 64.35% stake in PetChem, according to PetChem's latest annual report.
Looking ahead, Liza said non-hydrocarbon-related income is expected to account for about 30% of Petronas' revenue.
"[About] 30% of our revenue should be coming from something which is not related to hydrocarbons.
"We have to factor in [business] growth, otherwise, we will not be able to manage the energy transition and we will miss our target of achieving [net] zero [carbon] emissions by 2050," she said.
According to her, about 10% of Petronas' RM60 billion capex allocation for FY22 will be earmarked for non-traditional businesses such as specialty chemicals and solar energy.
"Previously, I think there was never a plan on what rate it should be [for the clean energy segment] because there was no allocation from the top. So, it didn't really take off.
"So, we need to rethink our decision on the capital allocation [for the clean energy segment] and put it aside, because if we leave it at that and let them go with the flow, we are going to be a year behind the target again," she said.
Petronas' financials improved in 1QFY22. In a statement on May 31, 2022, Petronas said profit after tax rose to RM23.44 billion in 1QFY22 from RM9.22 billion a year earlier while revenue climbed to RM78.75 billion from RM52.55 billion.
"Despite favourable [first quarter] performance, the high oil and gas prices are expected to remain vulnerable with increased volatility due to geopolitical and macro-economic uncertainties.
"Petronas will continue to strengthen our operational excellence to maximise value creation whilst intensifying our growth and sustainability agenda in Malaysia and internationally,” the company said.

(May 31): Offshore oil and gas services firm Icon Offshore Bhd is in advanced talks to buy a maintenance, repair and operations business that will help it diversify earnings and boost profitability, its top executive said on Monday (May 30).
“We are preparing for the next phase of growth with this potential acquisition,” managing director Datuk Seri Hadian Hashim, 64, told Bloomberg News in an interview at Icon’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. “We hope to wrap up the deal before the end of the year. The acquisition will provide us with a new earnings stream while reinforcing our position in Brunei and help us to expand regionally.”
He declined to name the target but said Icon would be able to fund the acquisition via internal funds and some borrowing. The planned deal is estimated to provide at least a 30% increase in net income and will help mitigate the cyclical nature of the company’s earnings, Hadian said.
The company, which counts Malaysian private equity firm Ekuiti Nasional Bhd as indirect major shareholder, owns and operates 20 active offshore supply vessels and a jack-up drilling rig, according to its official website. Currently, the company derives 60% of its profits from Malaysia and the remainder from Brunei, Hadian said.
Icon’s outlook for the next few years will be good and will be supported by the sustained high crude oil prices and order book, Hadian said. The company has a combined order and tender book totalling RM2 billion, he said.
Icon has a "buy" call from Maybank Investment Bank, which pegs a target price of 16 sen per share on the company, according to analysts tracked by Bloomberg. The stock ended unchanged at 10.5 sen per share on Monday.
Maybank’s equity analyst Liaw Thong Jung expects “sequentially stronger” second quarter outlook for Icon after the company returned to profitability in first quarter with a net income of RM2.96 million versus a net loss of RM11.15 million a year ago. Revenue grew 31% on-year to RM66.95 million mainly driven by its drilling business, according to stock exchange filing. The company is projected to report a net income of RM49.2 million for year ending 2022 from RM22.5 million last year, according to Liaw.
