2019 was a productive year for China Aviation Oil (CAO) as profits jumped 6.36% YoY to $99.83m from $93.86m in 2018. Full-year revenue dipped 1.3% YoY to $20.34b from $20.61m, however, due to the depreciation of the RMB and KRW.

CAO’s total supply and trading volume increased 5.97% to 36.93 million tonnes for 2019 compared to 34.85 million tonnes for 2018.

Volume for middle distillates leapt 22.17% to 22.26 million tonnes from 18.22 million tonnes, of which jet fuel supply and trading volume increased by 2.01 million tonnes (14.10%) to 16.27 million tonnes for 2019 compared to 14.26 million tonnes for 2018.

The company’s trading volume for gas oil significantly grew by 51.26% to 5.99 million tonnes for 2019 from 3.96 million tonnes for 2018.

In contrast, the trading volume for other oil products slipped 11.79% to 14.67 million tonnes for 2019 compared to 16.63 million tonnes for 2018 attributable mainly to lower trading volume for fuel oil.

CAO’s share of profits from associates dipped 9.12% to US$65.53m for 2019 compared to US$72.11m for 2018, mainly due to lower share of profits from Pudong (down 9.78% to US$58.83m) driven by forex effect and lower revenue.

For Q4 2019, profits rose 13.15% YoY to $21.19m from $18.73m in the same period last year, and revenue climbed 16.55% to $5.10b from $4.38b.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
