Financial Results and Dividend Plan Q1/2024 of Repsol SA

In Q1/2024, Repsol SA reported a significant decline in financial performance compared to the same period last year. The company’s adjusted income reached 1.26 billion EUR, a 33% decrease from Q1/2023. This decline primarily stemmed from challenges across its core segments. Specifically, Industrial revenue decreased by 42.8%, Customer revenue by 10.3%, and Upstream revenue by 6.8%.

Despite the revenue drop, Repsol maintained a stable operating cash flow of 1.36 billion EUR, albeit down by 465 million EUR compared to Q1 of the previous year. Notably, the company increased net debt to 3.9 billion EUR, reflecting a higher-risk financial strategy compared to year-end 2023.

In terms of dividends, Repsol announced plans to pay a biannual cash dividend of 0.41 EUR per share, totaling 0.81 EUR per share annually. This dividend is scheduled for payment on 08/07 to shareholders listed on the 04/07 record date. Currently, Repsol’s dividend yield stands at approximately 4.15%, with a payout ratio of 8.97%. Over the past 18 years, the company has averaged a dividend payment of 0.84 EUR per share annually.

Repsol’s Board of Directors has also approved a share buyback program of 40 million shares, expected to commence before July 2024. Currently, the company’s market capitalization is approximately 17.69 billion EUR, with earnings per share (EPS) over the last 12 months reaching 2.414 EUR, and a Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of 0.67. The company anticipates its next income statement release on 24/07, with an expected EPS of 0.72 EUR, which will likely influence market reassessment of Repsol’s financial position in the next quarter.
