TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results

TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) issued its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $2.68 EPS for the quarter, meeting the consensus estimate of $2.68, Zacks reports. The firm had revenue of $57.10 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $55.13 billion. TotalEnergies had a net margin of 7.43% and a return on equity of 14.01%.

Here are the key takeaways from TotalEnergies’ conference call:

• TotalEnergies reported strong Q2 results, with cash flow of about $9.8 billion and adjusted net income of $6.0 billion, supported by favorable oil, refining, LNG and power market conditions.
• The company’s upstream production grew more than 4% year over year excluding Middle East disruptions, and management said this was ahead of its full-year guidance. E&P cash flow also rose sharply, helped by new projects and strong operating performance.
• Refining, chemicals and marketing had an exceptional quarter as the company shifted refinery runs toward diesel and jet fuel, capturing historically strong margins. Marketing and Services delivered its best-ever quarter, while trading also contributed strongly outside of gas.
• Gas trading underperformed in Q2 because European gas prices fell instead of rising as expected, but management said the position has since improved and results could rebound in Q3. Integrated LNG was also hurt by Middle East-related disruptions, including lower Qatar output.
• TotalEnergies continued to reward shareholders and strengthen the balance sheet, cutting gearing to 13.1%, raising the interim dividend by 5.9%, and authorizing another $1.5 billion of buybacks for Q3. The company also kept CapEx at about $3.4 billion in the quarter, in line with its full-year investment plan.
