据彭博社5月10日报道，位于阿布扎比的能源公司Adnoc将在首次公开募股中出售其物流和海运部门15%的股份，从而开启其业务今年的第二次上市。
阿布扎比国家石油公司(Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.)周三在一份声明中表示，将发行约11.1亿股Adnoc物流服务公司股份。该公司将于5月16日宣布价格区间，并开始接受投资者报价，最终定价定于5月25日，该股预计将于6月1日开始交易。
几个月前，国有的Adnoc在其天然气业务上市中筹集了25亿美元，这是今年迄今为止全球第二大IPO。在过去两年中，该公司还出售了其他一些投资组合业务的股份，包括其钻井部门、化学品公司Borouge和化肥公司Fertiglobe的股份。
在这些股票发行之际，波斯湾地区出现了一股上市热潮。在全球经济低迷的背景下，该地区仍是一个相对繁忙的市场。尽管如此，油价已经从去年地缘政治冲突后达到的高点回落。对美国经济衰退和银行倒闭的担忧，最近给这种大宗商品带来了压力，也对海湾地区股市产生了强烈影响。
彭博汇编数据显示，到目前为止，2023年通过在中东上市的公司筹集了约35亿美元，其中大部分在阿布扎比。与去年同期的114亿美元相比，这一数字大幅下降，因为沙特阿拉伯等市场一直保持平静，迪拜也没有进行任何私有化举措。
业务增长方面
Adnoc执行董事Musabbeh al Kaabi周三在彭博电视台表示，“现在是创造价值和实现增长的时候了。此次IPO肯定是面向国内外投资者的，我们对市场非常有信心”。
Adnoc物流服务公司计划在2023年支付2.6亿美元的年度现金股息，并预计每年至少增加5%。该公司一直在扩大其规模，以应对国有企业业务日益增长的需求，其中期资本支出目标为40亿至50亿美元。
作为Adnoc加强海上石油、天然气和风能业务努力的一部分，该公司于7月收购了私人拥有的ZMI控股公司，并将其并入其物流部门。包括ZMI在内，Adnoc物流服务公司2022年的未经调整前收入为22.9亿美元，调整后的收益略低于6亿美元。
该公司表示，截至2022年12月31日，Adnoc集团公司占总销售额的近四分之三。该公司最近与Adnoc离岸公司签署了一份为期五年的合同，提供包括港口服务和仓库运营在内的综合物流服务。
花旗集团(Citigroup Inc .)、阿布扎比第一银行(First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC)、汇丰控股(HSBC Holdings Plc)和摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase & Co.)被任命为联合全球协调人和联席经销商。阿布扎比商业银行(Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC)、Arqaam Capital Limited、法国农业信贷银行(Credit Agricole SA)、EFG-Hermes、国际证券(International Securities)和法国兴业银行(Societe Generale SA)是此次发行的联合主承销银行。

Adnoc Launches IPO for 15-Percent Stake in Logistics Unit
Abu Dhabi’s main energy company will sell a 15% stake in its logistics and shipping unit in an initial public offering, kicking off the second listing of one of its businesses this year.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. will offer about 1.11 billion shares in Adnoc Logistics & Services, it said in a statement on Wednesday. The company will announce the price range and start taking investor orders on May 16, with final pricing slated for May 25. Shares are expected to begin trading June 1.
The sale comes months after state-owned Adnoc raised $2.5 billion in the listing of its gas business, which is the world’s second-biggest IPO of the year so far. The company has also sold stakes in some other portfolio businesses over the past two years — including in its drilling unit, chemicals firm Borouge and fertilizer company Fertiglobe.
Those share sales came amid a rush of listings in the Persian Gulf, which has remained a relatively busy market amid a global slump. Still, oil prices have come off their highs reached last year in the wake of the war. Fears of a recession and bank failures in the US have recently put pressure on the commodity, which strongly influences Gulf stock markets.
about $3.5 billion has been raised so far in 2023 through listings in the Middle East — the bulk of it in Abu Dhabi, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That’s down sharply from the $11.4 billion fetched by this time last year, as markets like Saudi Arabia have remained quiet and there haven’t been any privatizations in Dubai, which helped boost volumes in 2022.
Growth
“It’s a time for creating value and enabling growth,” Musabbeh al Kaabi, executive director at Adnoc, said on Bloomberg Television Wednesday. “The IPO is definitely for local and international investors. We’re very confident about this market here and the region.”
Adnoc Logistics plans to pay an annualized 2023 cash dividend of $260 million and expects to increase this by at least 5% annually. The firm, which has been expanding its fleet to cope with increased demand from the state-owned firm’s businesses, is targeting capital expenditure $4 billion to $5 billion in the medium term.
As part of Adnoc’s efforts to bolster its offshore oil, natural gas and wind businesses, the firm acquired privately-owned ZMI Holdings in July and folded it under its logistics unit. Including ZMI, Adnoc Logistics’ proforma 2022 revenue was $2.29 billion, on adjusted earnings of just under $600 million.
Adnoc Group companies accounted for nearly three-quarters of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2022, the firm said. It recently signed a five-year contract with Adnoc Offshore to provide integrated logistics services including port services and warehouse operations.
Citigroup Inc, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have been appointed as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners. Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC, Arqaam Capital Limited, Credit Agricole SA, EFG-Hermes, International Securities and Societe Generale SA are joint bookrunners for the offering.
