State-owned oil producer ONGC is expected to report a profit after tax of Rs 6,150 crore in the October-December quarter of FY12, degrowth of 13.2% as compared to Rs 7,083 crore in a year ago quarter.
Sales are seen going down by 7.5% to Rs 17,200 crore from Rs 18,586 crore year-on-year.
Operating profit margin is expected to decline at 57.5% in the third quarter of FY12 versus 65% in the corresponding quarter of last fiscal and 63.11% in the previous quarter.
On quarter-on-quarter basis, company's sales are likely to fall 24% and PAT is seen going down 28.8%.
Highlights
* Brent crude was down 3% QoQ
* So ONGC's gross realizations should decline to USD 112/barrel versus USD 116.7/barrel in Q2
* As per the revised figures ONGC will provide a subsidy of Rs 12,536 crore for 9 months
* This new subsidy calculation will pull net realizations below USD 50/barrel
* This is a steep fall from above USD 83.6/barrel in last quarter and USD 64.8/barrel in Q3 of last year
* Upstream subsidy for 9 months tentatively based on the finance ministry formula
* So ONGC is extending a USD 56/barrel discount for the first 9 months
* Because of the H1 adjustment the discount in Q3 will be over USD 65/barrel
* Market is wondering if this formula will hold for the full year; but it looks unlikely
* Q3 reported PAT will find support from royalty writeback
* It's a one time income of Rs 2500 crore from Cairn (Excess royalty that ONGC paid on the Rajasthan block)
