Head of KMG expects a difficult situation with financial results-2015
KMG will possibly be able to save the physical volumes of production and transportation of hydrocarbons in 2015 but there is concern about its financial results, its management is less optimistic due to the fall of oil prices at the end of 2014, chairman, S. Mynbaev, said.
“In 2014 we had a net profit as the prices until September were higher than the level planned in the budget for 2014. The price fall mainly took place in Q4 and the net profit plan was executed in full – 366 bln tenge”, he said.
The oil price fall will mostly influence the company’s financial results in 2015. “In 2015 we are less optimistic, particularly, in the part of our financial results… Even despite of the fall in capital investment, we might be able to save the physical volumes of production and transportation but I expect a difficult situation with our financial results”, the head of the company said.
