据8月3日BP官网报道，BP业绩强劲，并在不断改善的环境中持续减少净债务，公司在有纪律的财务框架内增长弹性股息。2021年上半年从盈余现金流中计划回购14亿美元股票。4个重大项目的启动、太阳能和便利设施的增长将进一步推动公司战略开展。
一是强劲的业绩和净债务减少
公司第二季度的运营表现很有弹性，有四个主要项目启动，经营业绩表现强劲，包括便利设施毛利率的实质性增长，与2019年相比，运行节省了25亿美元的现金成本。
二季度报告利润为31亿美元，而2021年第一季度的利润为47亿美元。
基础重置成本利润为28亿美元，而上一季度为26亿美元。这一结果受到油价上涨的推动，而天然气营销和交易的下降抵消了利润率的上升。
54亿美元的营运现金流包括墨西哥湾漏油支付的税前12亿美元和5亿美元的营运资本（在调整存货持有收益和公允价值会计影响后）。
二是净债务在第二季度末下降到327亿美元。
在对用于投资评估和使用价值减值测试的价格假设进行年度审查后，BP对2030年布伦特原油价格的预期提高了，反映出预期的供应限制，而长远预期有所降低，因为BP预计向低碳经济转型的步伐将加快。
由于这些假设的改变，报告的结果包括30亿美元的税前净减值恢复。
三是在严格的财务框架内实现分销增长。
在BP严谨的财务框架内，弹性派息是其首要任务。
董事会宣布将第二季度普通股股息提高4%，至5.46美分，以反映业务的基本表现、环境前景的改善、对资产负债表的信心以及股份回购计划的启动。这一增长将在2021-2025年布伦特原油平均现款结存价格在40美元/桶，菜粕主力(RMM)约为11美元/桶，Henry Hub约为3美元/ 百万英热的范围内实现。
在达到净债务350亿美元的目标后，BP第二季度产生了7亿美元的盈余现金流，上半年产生了24亿美元。考虑到上半年产生的盈余现金流，BP计划在2021年第三季度业绩公布前回购14亿美元的股票。2021年，在保持较高投资级信用评级的前提下，董事会仍致力于将剩余现金流的60%用于股票回购，并计划将剩余的40%用于继续加强资产负债表。
根据英国石油公司目前的预测，在布伦特原油每桶60美元左右的情况下，根据董事会每个季度的决定，英国石油公司预计每个季度能够回购约10亿美元，并有能力每年将普通股股息增加约4%，到2025年。财务框架内的其他要素保持不变。
董事会在设定每股股息和每季度股票回购时，将考虑现金流盈余的累积水平及前景、现金平衡点及维持较高的投资级信用评级等因素。
英国石油预计将在公布第三季度业绩时概述第四季度股票回购计划。
四是向综合能源公司转型的出现重大进展
自一年前概述其新战略以来，英国石油公司在向IEC转型方面取得了巨大进展。已经交付了8个重大项目，建设了21千兆瓦的可再生能源管道，增长了便利设施和电气化。资产重组，达到了100亿美元的撤资收益，加强了财务实力，并开始股票回购。
今年第二季度，印度、埃及、安哥拉和墨西哥湾的四个主要项目开始投产。
英国石油继续大幅扩大其可再生能源管道，在美国购买了一条9吉瓦的太阳能开发管道。Lightsource bp也继续扩张，增长在葡萄牙，西班牙，希腊和澳大利亚的业务。英国石油公司证实，它打算与英格兰风力发电公司（EnBW）在苏格兰和挪威分别与斯塔特卡夫公司（Statkraft）和阿克尔公司（Aker）竞购海上风电租约。
英国石油在伦敦开设了英国首个车队专用电动汽车快速充电中心，这是旨在面向欧洲各城市的一系列项目中的第一个。在美国，该公司同意全面拥有桑顿公司（thornton）的业务，该业务预计将于2021年第三季度完成，使bp成为美国中西部领先的便利店运营商。
BP首席执行官伯纳德·鲁尼表示：“我们已经实现了英国石油成为综合能源公司的战略一年，并且取得了良好的进展。在以有纪律的方式投资未来的同时，又取得了一个季度的强劲业绩。基于我们业务的基本表现、环境前景的改善以及对我们资产负债表的信心，我们将普通股的弹性股息提高4%，此外，我们将从上半年的盈余现金流中回购14亿美元。若油价在平均每桶60美元左右，我们预计每个季度能够回购约10亿美元，并有能力每年将普通股股息增加约4%，直至2025年。这表明我们在为股东创造价值的同时，在向着未来转型的同时，我们仍在继续努力。”

Second quarter and half year 2021
Strong results and continued net debt reduction in an improving environment
Growth of resilient dividend within disciplined financial frame
Executing $1.4 billion buybacks from first half 2021 surplus cash flow
Further strategic progress with 4 major project start-ups, growth in solar and convenience
Strong results and continued net debt reduction in an improving environment
Operating performance was resilient in the second quarter with four major project* start-ups, strong momentum in the customers business, including material growth in convenience gross margin*, and delivery of $2.5 billion of cash costs* savings on a run-rate basis relative to 2019, around six months earlier than targeted.
Reported profit for the quarter was $3.1 billion, compared with $4.7 billion for the first quarter 2021.
Underlying replacement cost profit* was $2.8 billion, compared with $2.6 billion for the previous quarter. This result was driven by higher oil prices and margins offset by a lower result in gas marketing and trading.
Operating cash flow* of $5.4 billion includes $1.2 billion pre-tax of Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments within a working capital* build of $0.5 billion (after adjusting for inventory holding gains and fair value accounting effects).
Net debt* fell to $32.7 billion at the end of the second quarter.
Following the annual review of price assumptions used for investment appraisal and value-in-use impairment testing, bp's Brent oil price assumption to 2030 is increased to reflect expected supply constraints, while longer-term assumptions are lowered as bp expects an acceleration of the pace of transition to a low carbon economy.
As a result of these changed assumptions, the reported result includes a pre-tax net impairment reversal of $3.0 billion.
Distribution growth within disciplined financial frame
A resilient dividend is bp's first priority within its disciplined financial frame.
Reflecting the underlying performance of the business, an improving outlook for the environment, confidence in our balance sheet and commencement of the share buyback programme, the board has announced an increase in the second quarter dividend of 4% to 5.46 cents per ordinary share. This increase is accommodated within a 2021-5 average cash balance point* of around $40 per barrel Brent, $11 per barrel RMM and $3 per mmBtu Henry Hub (all 2020 real).
bp generated surplus cash flow* of $0.7 billion in the second quarter and $2.4 billion in the first half after having reached its net debt target of $35 billion. Taking into account surplus cash flow* generated in the first half of the year, bp intends to execute a share buyback of $1.4 billion prior to announcing its third quarter 2021 results. For 2021, and subject to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating, the board remains committed to using 60% of surplus cash flow for share buybacks and plans to allocate the remaining 40% to continue strengthening the balance sheet.
On average, based on bp’s current forecasts, at around $60 per barrel Brent and subject to the board's discretion each quarter, bp expects to be able to deliver buybacks of around $1.0 billion per quarter and have capacity for an annual increase in the dividend per ordinary share of around 4%, through 2025. Other elements of the financial frame are unchanged.
The board will take into account factors including the cumulative level of and outlook for surplus cash flow, the cash balance point and the maintenance of a strong investment grade credit rating in setting the dividend per ordinary share and the buyback each quarter.
bp expects to outline plans for the fourth-quarter share buyback at the time of its third quarter results.
Strong progress in our transformation to an integrated energy company
Since outlining its new strategy a year ago, bp has made strong progress in its transformation to an IEC. It has delivered 8 major projects*, built a 21GW renewable pipeline, grown convenience and electrification, reorganized, reached over $10 billion of divestment proceeds, strengthened the financial frame and begun share buybacks.
Four major projects began production in the second quarter – in India, Egypt, Angola and the Gulf of Mexico.
bp has continued to significantly expand its renewables pipeline, buying a 9GW solar development pipeline in the US. Lightsource bp also continued to expand, growing in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Australia. bp confirmed its intention to bid for offshore wind leases in Scotland with EnBW and in Norway with Statkraft and Aker.
bp opened the UK’s first fleet-dedicated EV rapid charging hub in London, the first of a series intended for cities across Europe. In the US, bp agreed to take full ownership of the Thorntons business, which is expected to complete in the third quarter of 2021, positioning bp to be a leading convenience operator in the Midwest US.
Bernard Looney,chief executive officer said, we are a year into executing bp's strategy to become an integrated energy company and are making good progress - delivering another quarter of strong performance while investing for the future in a disciplined way. based on the underlying performance of our business, an improving outlook for the environment and confidence in our balance sheet, we are increasing our resilient dividend by 4% per ordinary share and in addition, we are commencing a buyback of $1.4 billion from first half surplus cash flow. On average at around $60 per barrel, we expect to be able to deliver buybacks of around $1.0 billion per quarter and to have capacity for an annual increase in the dividend per ordinary share of around 4%, through 2025. This shows we continue to perform while transforming bp - generating value for our shareholders today while we transition the company for the future.
