石油炼油和石化FZE公司在非洲最大的石油加工设施达到满负荷运营并启动迄今为止非洲规模最大的首次公开募股后实现盈亏平衡并转为盈利。
Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE swung to a profit after Africa’s biggest oil-processing facility reached full capacity and as it undertakes the continent’s largest initial public offering to date.
该公司位于拉各斯，周二在一份声明中表示，截至9月30日的九个月净收入从去年同期的亏损激增至47.25亿美元。
Net income in the nine months through Sept. 30 surged to $4.725 billion from a loss a year earlier, the Lagos-based company said in a statement Tuesday.
位于尼日利亚商业中心的该炼油厂在该期间每日处理原油量高达70万桶，帮助收入超过翻倍至225亿美元。公司当时拥有6.508亿美元现金，而一年前其负债为17亿美元。
The refinery located in Nigeria’s commercial hub processed as much as 700,000 barrels a day during the period, helping revenue more than double to $22.5 billion. The company had $650.8 million of cash compared with $1.7 billion of debt a year earlier.
非洲首富阿利科·丹格特所拥有的该炼油厂计划通过发行41亿股股票在IPO中筹集16亿美元。
The refinery owned by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, seeks to raise $1.6 billion from investors in its IPO through the sale of 4.1 billion shares.
该亿万富翁周一在参观其炼油厂期间表示，需求量已超过该数额的三到四倍。首席执行官大卫·伯德称，公司因收到来自非洲各地投资者的“非常强烈的兴趣”，将IPO延期两周。
Demand has exceeded that amount by three to four times, the billionaire said Monday during a tour of his refinery. The company has extended the IPO by two weeks after it received “very strong interest” from investors across the continent, Chief Executive Officer David Bird said.
