Nigerian Petroleum Company announces USD 2,1 bn revenue in june
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has disclosed its trading surplus increased to USD 343,3 million in June 2021 compared to a deficit of USD 2,1 billion recorded in May.
This is as it recorded total revenue of USD 2,1 billion for June 2021, indicating a 9.04 per cent decrease from the May earnings, the Corporation said on Sunday.
NNPC’s group general manager group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Garba Deen Muhammad, in a statement, said the data was contained in the June 2021 figures of the NNPC Monthly Financial and Operations Report (MFOR).
“A trading surplus or trading deficit is derived after deduction of the expenditure profile from the revenue for the period under review”, the Corporation explained.
It added that “In June 2021, NNPC Group operating revenue as compared to May 2021, decreased by 9.07 per cent or USD 215,8 million to stand at USD 2,1 billion. Similarly, expenditure for the month decreased by 29.32 per cent or USD 724,1 million to stand at USD 1,7 billion.
“Thus, in the period under review, expenditure as a proportion of revenue was 0.81 per cent, compared to the figure in May which stood at 1.04 per cent.
“The report also noted that the increase in trading surplus was due mainly to the increased sales of crude oil and gas by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), an Upstream subsidiary of the NNPC, and the increased gas sales and depreciation postings by the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC).
“The positive outlook was further bolstered by the performance of Duke Oil and the Nigerian Gas Marketing Company (NGMC) which also added to the improved bottom line.
