Main figures
(Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period of 2009)
Operating revenues for the first quarter of 2010 amounted to USD 105.3 million (USD 60.6 million).
Operating profit before depreciation was USD 56.9 million (USD 37.1 million) for the quarter. The main reasons for the increase are FPSO Cidade de São Mateus which started contributing from second quarter 2009 and FPSO Ningaloo Vision, which has been on dayrate since the beginning of January 2010. This has been partly offset by the scheduled decline in the dayrate for FPSO Umuroa.
Operating result for the quarter came in at USD 24.3 million (USD 23.4 million).
Interest expenses amounted to USD 11.2 million (USD 11.4 million) for the quarter. Other financial items amounted to USD -0.8 million (USD -2.5 million). The difference compared to the same period last year is mainly an effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The tax cost equalled USD 3.0 million (USD 4.3 million). The reduction is mainly a result of lower taxable income for FPSO Umuroa in New Zealand.
The net result from continued business for the quarter was USD 9.3 million (USD 5.5 million).
