The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While COSL maintained stable profits and showcased strong performance in the well service segment and R&D investment, it faced challenges from exchange rate fluctuations and decreased rig utilization due to weather conditions. The management's positive outlook for overseas market opportunities adds a sense of optimism.
Company Guidance
During the COSL Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance on several key metrics and strategic initiatives. The management discussed the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, revealing a loss of approximately CNY 200 million due to the appreciation of the Chinese yuan from 7.1 to 7.0 against the U.S. dollar. The well service segment contributed significantly to the company's performance, accounting for around 56% of revenue and nearly 80% of profit. Despite a lowered utilization rate of semi-submersible rigs in Q3, influenced by typhoons in China, the company expressed optimism for improved utilization in Q4, especially with projects in the North Sea and Saudi Arabia. COSL plans to continue investing in R&D, with expenditures expected to increase beyond the CNY 2 billion spent last year. The company remains confident about future overseas market prospects, anticipating stable growth in the oil and gas industry and a positive impact from new projects in Brazil and Norway. Additionally, the management discussed the potential for stock repurchase activities, influenced by national policies encouraging central enterprises to buy back shares.
