煤氣(00003.HK)料今年香港售氣量跌2%至3% 內地仍有半成升幅
中華煤氣(00003.HK)常務董事陳永堅表示,受新型肺炎疫情影響,本港近月旅客數字大跌,加上市民減少外出用餐等因素影響,令餐飲、酒店等工商用氣量有所減少,預期集團今年上半年在香港的售氣量將有單位數跌幅。另外,內地業務受早前封城等防疫措施影響,料上半年售氣量亦有約10%跌幅。
煤氣執行董事暨公用業務營運總裁黃維義補充指,集團今年首季本港售氣量下跌了4%,不過隨著疫情放緩,售氣量估計會有所改善,料今年全年香港售氣量下跌約2%至3%。至於內地今年首季的售氣量亦因疫情打擊而下跌12%,但全年計料仍可有4%至5%升幅,估計明年售氣量增長更可回復至往年般逾10%。
他又稱,集團去年上調本港售氣價4.4%,而價格兩年調整一次,下一次為明年8月,雖然因疫情及經濟影響令利潤表現有壓力,成本亦有所上升,但認為不需要太早決定是否再調整氣價。而內地上游氣價早前曾下調,令毛利壓力減輕,預期今年內地售氣的單位毛利按年持平,約維持於每平方米6毛人民幣。
