On a y-o-y basis, SCG reported 2Q22 Revenue from Sales increased 14% y-o-y from higher sales across all businesses driven by higher product prices in-line with the market. EBITDA declined 22% y-o-y. Profit for the Period dropped 42% y-o-y largely attributable to higher feedstock cost and lower equity income from the Chemicals business.
For the chemical business in 2Q22, volatility continued as Brent crude oil price increased by $15/bbl to $112/bbl, while Naphtha price decreased by $2/ton or 0.2% q-o-q to $875/ton. Crude oil price increased due to prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict and supply outages amid demand recovery while Naphtha price was pressured from lower production from the producer’s side.
