据路透社4月29日消息，壳牌今年一季度利润大幅增长至32.3亿美元，按计划提高了股息。但该公司仍发布警告称，未来前景受疫情影响仍不明朗。
得益于资产出售与石油、LNG价格上涨，壳牌的调整后收益超过了分析师平均预测的31.25亿美元，也高于去年的29亿美元。
壳牌表示，受封锁措施加剧与德克萨斯州2月暴风影响，其一季度燃料销量下降了13%，并称二季度需求前景仍存在“重大不确定性”。
壳牌按计划将一季度股息提升了4%，这是自去年初壳牌因新冠疫情爆发而削减三分之二支出以来第二次上调股息。
壳牌的关键评价指标经营业务现金流量从63亿美元增至83亿美元，债务则缩减至713亿美元。
壳牌希望将其净债务控制在650亿美元以下，作为未来数十年转向低碳能源战略的一部分。

Shell announces 1Q21 profits
As reported by Reuters, Shell's profits leapt to US$3.23 billion in the first three months of the year and the energy company raised its dividend as planned but warned that the outlook remained uncertain due to the pandemic.
Shell's adjusted earnings came in ahead of an average analyst forecast of US$3.125 billion and were also above earnings of US$2.9 billion last year, boosted by assets sales as well as higher oil and LNG prices.
Shell said its fuel sales fell 13% in 1Q21 due to further lockdown measures and the impact of the Texas storm in February, saying there was still "significant uncertainty" over the outlook for demand in 2Q21.
The Anglo-Dutch company raised its dividend in 1Q21 by 4% as planned, the second increase since its slashed its payout by two-thirds at the start of last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Shell's cash flow from operations, a key performance metric, rose to US$8.3 billion from US$6.3 billion, helping reduce its debt to US$71.3 billion.
Shell wants to get its net debt below US$65 billion as part of its strategy to shift to low-carbon energy in the coming decades.
