I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our shareholders, customers, suppliers, bankers and business associates for their trust and support throughout these years. After several years of perseverance and endeavour, the Group’s business operations have achieved steady growth, with solid cash position and gradual decrease in reliance on financial leverages. Although the global economic situation has been subject to uncertainties, CITIC Resources has continued to focus on its self-developed intrinsic growth drivers. It has progressively enhanced its risk-resistance capability by exerting huge efforts in reducing costs and increasing efficiency as well as continuously improving the professional, refining and scientific levels of management, and it has vigorously promoted the increase in reserves and production of oil and gas properties by striving for technical efficiency, thereby determined to enhance corporate values. Over the past year, the external macro-environment, especially the volatility of commodities and crude oil prices, had been the major factor affecting the Group’s results of operations. The slowdown in global economic growth and the intensifying trade tensions had led to a larger extent of decline in commodity prices of our major businesses – crude oil, aluminium and coal. During the year, the Group’s revenue decreased 22.6% year-on-year to HK$3,425.5 million, profit attributable to shareholders decreased 33.7% year-on-year to HK$600.3 million. Exploring Potential of Existing Assets to Enhance the Corporate Values During the year, the Group’s average daily production of crude oil was 48,320 barrels (100% basis), representing a slight decrease of 2.2% when compared to 2018. This was mainly attributable to the production of new wells which partially offset the natural declination of existing wells, which in turn maintained our overall production of crude oil at a relatively stable level. Development of new wells in the Yuedong oilfield in Liaoning Province, China and the Seram Block in Indonesia recommenced in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 respectively. Drilling progress was better than expected, which can potentially be the key growth driver for future production. With the increase in number of wells put into production in 2020, it is expected that the production volume of new wells will increase accordingly. In addition, the Group’s new production sharing contract in Indonesia was in force in November 2019, and the technical and economic assessment of natural gas resources in Lofin area has also commenced. We plan to commence the gas test and trial production of natural gas in 2020, striving to materialise commercial values sooner. 01 CITIC Resources Holdings Limited Chairman’s Statement Optimise Debt Structure and Reduction of Financial Costs The Group’s financial position remained strong on the back of robust cash flows. Debts had been repaid by our internal generated cash flow. As of the end of this year, our net debt to net total capital dropped to 36.2%, and interest expenses for bank and other borrowings decreased by 10.2% when compared to last year. Professional rating agency, Moody’s upgraded the Group’s corporate credit rating for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. Costs Reduction and Increase Efficiency to Cope with Risk Under the premise of ensuring a smooth production, the Group strictly controlled costs, avoided unnecessary expenses, fostered bargaining power, trimmed down drilling costs, revisited existing contracts to enhance profitability. Some employees in the Seram block in Indonesia were dismissed during the transitional period between to the existing and the new PSCs to increase efficiency and hence minimising labour costs. Commitment to Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction and Social Responsibilities The Group strictly complied with the relevant environmental protection regulations, formulated environmental management rules that meet with respective project features, regularly monitored environmental performances, applied various green low-carbon technologies, reduced consumption of resources such as electricity, fuel and water, as well as reduced emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, with an aim to integrate the environmental protection responsibilities into its daily operations and to work towards minimising the impact on and improving the surrounding natural environment. The Group abided different laws and regulations and requirements of regulatory authorities at its places of its operations, as well as focused on risk management and internal control, thus ensuring that no production accidents or material risk events
