MRCHUB網站4月22日莫斯科報道，陶氏表示，盡管能源成本上漲，但陶氏第一季度銷售額同比增長28%，息稅前營業利潤(EBIT)躍升近56%。

陶氏在所有經營部門、業務和地區的銷售額均實現增長。截至2022年3月31日止三個月的營業息稅前利潤率從2021年第一季度的13.1%增至15.9%。

受性能材料和涂料、包裝和特種塑料的增長推動，凈銷售額較2021年第四季度增長6%，第一季度銷售量同比增長3%，所有業務部門以及美國、加拿大和拉丁美洲都有所增長。

銷量增長5%，反映出對硅和聚乙烯（PE）應用的強勁需求。然而，陶氏的股票收益同比下降，主要是由于其在沙特阿拉伯的Sadara石化合資企業計劃進行維護活動。

由于亞太地區的PE和單乙二醇（MEG）利潤率較低，股票收益下降。

與此同時，陶氏正在推進其脫碳戰略，并在向更可持續的世界過渡的過程中，潛在收益將增長30億美元以上。

Dow Q1 sales rise 28%

Dow’s Q1 sales rose 28% year on year and operating earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) jumped nearly 56% - despite higher energy costs, said the company.

Dow saw sales growth in all operating segments, businesses and regions. The operating EBIT margin for the three months ended 31 March 2022 expanded to 15.9%, from 13.1% in Q1 2021.

Sequentially, net sales were up 6% from Q4 2021, driven by gains in Performance Materials & Coatings and Packaging & Specialty Plastics. Q1 volume increased 3% year on year, with gains in all operating segments and in the US & Canada and Latin America.

Sequentially, volume was up 5%, reflecting strong demand for silicon's and polyethylene (PE) applications. However, Dow’s equity earnings fell year on year, primarily due to planned maintenance activity at its Sadara petrochemicals joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

Sequentially, equity earnings fell because of lower PE and mono ethylene glycol (MEG) margins in Asia Pacific.

At the same time, Dow is advancing its strategy to decarbonise and grow underlying earnings by more than USD3bn in the transition to a more sustainable world.
