????2012年《財富》500強排名:第2位 ????2012年利潤(單位:百萬美元):44,880 ????埃克森美孚的資產(chǎn)負債表盡顯繁榮。2012年,這家能源巨頭差一點就刷新自己的利潤記錄(當然也是全球上市公司的最高盈利紀錄)。此前的全球上市公司最高盈利紀錄正是埃克森美孚于2008年創(chuàng)下的。對于埃克森美孚而言,2012年美國國內(nèi)大量的廉價能源就像一把雙刃劍。美國國內(nèi)原油和天然氣供應增加導致它生產(chǎn)收入下降。但是埃克森美孚旗下的煉油廠力挽狂瀾。由于原料供應近在咫尺,成品油生產(chǎn)成本大幅下降,從而提振了公司的利潤。 ????——Tom Ziegler |
????Fortune 500 rank: 2 ????2012 profit (millions): 44,880 ????The ink on Exxon Mobil's balance sheet comes in one grade: Premium. The energy giant fell just short of setting a company -- and world -- record for profits this year. The last world record was set by -- you guessed it -- Exxon Mobil, back in 2008. The abundance of cheaper domestic energy both hurt and helped the company in 2012. A greater supply of U.S. crude and natural gas drove production revenues down. But it was Exxon's refineries that saved the day. With supplies close at hand, making fuel was a lot cheaper, which helped boost profits. -- Tom Ziegler |
