TNK-BP is pleased to present its US GAAP consolidated financial statements for full calendar year 2004. Financial statements for TNK-BP Limited and for TNK-BP International are now published here http://www.tnk-bp.com/investors/financial/.
The figures are in line with those indicated by the company in March 2005 with EBITDA of $6.4billion and Net Income of $4billion.
These US GAAP consolidated accounts reflect all TNK-BP group trading activities during the first full calendar year of TNK-BP’s existence, following its commencement of operations on August 29th 2003. They also include comparative data for calendar year ending December 31st 2003.
These financials are being published in the interests of transparency just as we release results of our annual independently conducted reserves audit.
Highlights of our 2004 results include:
- Production growth of 13% to 72 million tones per annum
An increase in average daily well flow rates from 10.77 tonnes in 2003 to 12.10 tonnes for 2004.
- Increased refinery throughput from 26.5 million tonnes in 2003 to 27.8 million tones in 2004.
- Sales revenue of $17 billion — 42% higher than in 2003.
- Net profit growth of 43% to $4 billion.
- Payments of duties, taxes and excise in excess of $6.5 billion to the Russian government.
- In terms of corporate income tax, the effective income tax rate was 23.3%, close to the statutory level of 24%.
- Organic and inorganic capital expenditure greater than $1.5bn – almost double the amount for 2003 of $855million.
The main drivers of these 2004 results were the higher production levels and improved operating performance in the Downstream together with a favorable price environment, although this was offset by changes in Russian taxation levels.
As the independent auditors report states, resolution of issues raised by audit notices received by TNK-BP from the Russian taxation authorities for heritage company activities in 2001, remain outstanding.
