Subject. The article discusses the key profitability metrics of the largest public companies in the oil and gas (O&G) industry from 2006 to 2018. The analysis encompasses ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, TOTAL, Eni, Equinor (Statoil), PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, Petrobras, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC Rosneft Oil Company и PJSC LUKOIL. Objectives. The study assesses key profitability metrics of leading public corporations in oil and gas, identifies key trends in their developments as part of the analyzable period. We also determine what triggered such a transformation. Methods. We employed methods of comparative and financial-economic analysis, summarized official annual reports on financial and business operations prepared by major public O&G corporations. Results. Upon the comprehensive analysis of balance sheets prepared by 25 O&G corporations, we evaluated the dynamics of key profitability indicators in the public segment of O&G industry and determined what triggered the transformation. Conclusions and Relevance. For the analyzable period, major public O&G corporations were found to have become less profitable, especially manifesting this during the global financial and sectoral crisis. Some independent U.S. corporations are facing the most difficult situation. The public segment saw their profitability indicators fall, because the growth rate of operational expenses exceeded revenue predominantly due to costs of wear and tear, depletion and depreciation. What else affected the corporations was a considerable increase in the carrying amount of non-working assets. The public segment of O&G industry was discovered to observe gradually lowering income tax burden per unit of net revenue from core operations.

Subject. The article considers the main figures of consolidated income statements of 25 leading public oil and gas companies, from 2006 to 2018. Objectives. The purpose is to determine the current values of the main components of consolidated income statements of leading public oil and gas companies, unveil key trends during the period under review. Methods. I employ methods of comparative and financial-economic analysis, as well as generalization of materials of consolidated income statements. Results. The comprehensive analysis of annual reports of 25 oil and gas companies enabled to capture changes in the main figures and their interrelation in the structure of consolidated income statements in the public sector of the industry. I also established the key factors that contributed to the changes. Conclusions. The study revealed a decrease in the shareholders' net profit at the industry level, which occurred against the backdrop of a growth in net revenue from core activities. The main factor of such changes in the income statement structure was the increased expenses on core business, which were ahead of revenue, primarily due to depreciation, depletion and amortization of assets. A positive development was a general reduction in the tax burden on income. A return to the previous structure is possible only if there is a significant rise in oil prices, a reduction in expenses on core activities, and a decrease in excise taxes, duties and all other taxes not related to income tax.

Objectives. The aim is to make a comprehensive statistical analysis of changes in absolute values and the structure of assets in the public sector of the oil and gas industry. Methods. The study employs methods of statistical analysis and generalization of materials of official annual reports based on the results of financial and economic activities of the largest public oil and gas corporations. Results. Using the comprehensive analysis of balance sheets of 25 oil and gas companies, I determine changes in the size and structure of assets in the public sector of the industry, and establish the main factors that contributed to this transformation. Conclusions. The findings revealed an increase in the book value of assets in the majority of leading public oil and gas companies. Large mergers and acquisitions and agreements for new field developments also contributed to the increase. The study established that the protracted industry crisis resulted in reducing the proportion of current assets in order to release funds for revenue increase. That was why oil and gas companies sought to accelerate the collection of receivables, primarily by means of trade component. It was also determined that they channeled a part of funds thus collected to short-term financial investments.

Subject. The article investigates liabilities and equity of leading public oil and gas companies from 2006 to 2018. Objectives. The focus is on determining the current values of the main components of liabilities and equity of leading public oil and gas companies, identifying the key trends over the studied period and factors that led to the changes. Methods. The paper employs methods of comparative, financial, and economic analysis, generalization of official annual reports on financial and business operations of the said corporations. Results. Based on the results of the comprehensive analysis of balance sheets of 25 oil and gas companies, I established movements in the size and structure of liabilities and equity in the public sector of the industry and the main factors that contributed to the changes. Conclusions. Over the studied period, I revealed an increase in the balance sheet valuation of liabilities and equity of most of leading public oil and gas companies, notwithstanding a noticeable decrease in their value after the industry crisis. The components of liabilities and equity remained approximately equal, but the transformation in the ratio between the components occurred within the indicators themselves. The long-term component started prevailing in the structure of liabilities. It was driven by growing total debt, which almost equaled the value of accounts payable. As a result, the total debt became the dominant component of long-term liabilities, and accounts payable retained key positions only in the short-term component.

Subject. The article analyzes 12 major M&A deals in the public sector of the oil and gas industry in 2000–2019. Industry indicators are measured on the basis of data from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, TOTAL, Eni, Equinor (Statoil), PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, Petrobras, Gasprom, Rosneft Oil Company and LUKOIL. Objectives. I study on what terms M&A are concluded in the public sector of the oil industry and analyze the approval and changes in the current premium for control over the ratio of share capital to market capitalization. The article also evaluates how the above deals influenced the market capitalization of companies. Methods. The study employs methods of statistical analysis and summarizing official annual reports on financial and business performance and news releases of major State-owned oil and gas corporations. Results. Having analyzed 12 major M&A in the public sector of the oil and gas industry comprehensively, I traced trends in terms on which such deals are concluded and determined their consequences. Conclusions and Relevance. In the public sector of the oil and gas industry, M&A are found to depend on capitalization, but also sometimes refer to the difference between the market value of assets and liabilities. In the industry, share capital control premium is noted to grow, thus exceeding half of capitalization. Therefore, the least acceptable factors include a combination of high oil prices, commensuration of companies’ capitalization, compensation for share capital and high control premium. On the contrary, market capitalization significantly improved in case of deals implying the compensation with stocks, which took placed during low oil prices.

Integration Stage

Purpose Due to the high failure rate of the M&A strategy, this paper aims to raise the question of whether the pre-M&A performances could predict integration success in cross-border M&As with the aim of reducing the integration risk. Cross-border M&A is considered an important strategy for gaining access to foreign markets, but at the same time, cross-border M&As involve a high risk for failure, particularly due to the problematic integration stage in cross-border M&As. Design/methodology/approach The study presents a research model that includes six pre-M&A performances – the revenue and profitability of the acquirer and the target, the revenue ratio and profitability ratio – with the aim of analysing if the pre-M&A performances could predict integration success. The sample of the study includes 68 public firms that were engaged in cross-border M&As from 13 countries. The database of the study is based on 272 annual reports (10-K) of the public companies that are included in the sample. Findings The results show that the revenue and profitability of the acquirer and the target predict integration success. However, the revenue ratio predicts integration success, but not the profitability ratio. The results also show that a larger target leads to a complicated integration process that ends in a failure of the integration stage, while a larger acquirer could help to facilitate the integration stage. The study also indicates that buying a small target in relation to the acquirer decreases the risks of the integration stage. Moreover, the pre-performances of the acquirer more predict integration success compared to the pre-performances of the target. Originality/value The study suggests that buying an inefficient target creates opportunities for removing redundancies, while buying profitable target may hinder the possibilities for eliminating duplicate jobs and operations. This mixed effect highlights the challenges in implementing of M&A strategy in cross-border-M&As.

Subject. The study analyzes generally accepted approaches to assessing the value of companies on the basis of financial statement data of ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, Gazprom, Rosneft, LUKOIL, and others, for 1999—2018. Objectives. The aim is to determine the specifics of using the methods of cost, DFC, and comparative approaches to assessing the value of share capital of oil and gas companies. Methods. The study employs methods of statistical analysis and generalization of materials of scientific articles and official annual reports on the results of financial and economic activities of the largest public oil and gas corporations. Results. Based on the results of a comprehensive analysis, I identified advantages and disadvantages of standard approaches to assessing the value of oil and gas producers. Conclusions. The paper describes pros and cons of the said approaches. For instance, the cost approach is acceptable for assessing the minimum cost of small companies in the industry. The DFC-based approach complicates the reliability of medium-term forecasts for oil prices due to fluctuations in oil prices inherent in the industry, on which the net profit and free cash flow of companies depend to a large extent. The comparative approach enables to quickly determine the range of possible value of the corporation based on transactions data and current market situation.
