PETRONAS subsidiaries mostly lower in early session amid workforce cut announcement
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd's (Petronas) four listed subsidiaries among Bursa Malaysia's top 30 showed mixed performance in early trading amid its plan to cut 10 per cent of its workforce. The national oil company announced yesterday that the move will help to cope with challenging operating conditions, particularly due to falling crude prices. As at 10.24 am, MISC was flat at RM7.60, Petronas Dagangan was 10 sen lower at RM21.04, Petronas Chemicals Group decreased 6.0 sen to RM3.30, and Petronas Gas was flat at RM18.18. According to reports on Thursday, Petronas president/group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said the number of staff involved in the right-sizing process currently stands at around 5,000. Those affected will be notified in stages next year. Petronas has based its budget on Brent crude trading between US$75 and US$80 per barrel. The benchmark is currently near US$65, down roughly 13 per cent this year, amid global trade tensions and rising OPEC+ output. The group reported a net profit of RM55.1 billion for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024, down 31.7 per cent from RM80.7 billion a year earlier, due to lower average realised prices and favourable tax adjustments in 2023. - Bernama

Petronas To Cut 10 Pct Of Its Workforce
REGION - CENTRAL > NEWS KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is cutting 10 per cent of its workforce to cope with challenging operating conditions, particularly due to falling crude prices. President/group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said the number of staff involved in the right-sizing process currently stands at around 5,000, and those affected will be notified in stages next year. 'Petronas 2.0 will be run differently, organised differently, will have different work processes, and to move towards that, we have to correct the work process,' he said at a media briefing here yesterday. bootstrap slideshow He said the group aimed for a lean and nimble operation even if oil prices were to reach US$100 per barrel. (US$1 = RM4.23). 'There is a logic, an assumption set, and a projection that backs it up. Over time, we have seen this — those who have tracked our history will know that when the fields were easier, our profit before tax margin was around 35 to 40 per cent. 'Today, it is (between) 25 and 38 per cent. These margins are going to shrink further, and the fields are going to get smaller. So the value-added (Petronas) 2.0 has to transform into an organisation that monetises molecules commercially and competitively, not just at home, but also abroad,' he said. Petronas has based its budget on Brent crude trading between US$75 and US$80 per barrel. The benchmark is currently near US$65, down roughly 13 per cent this year, amid global trade tensions and rising OPEC+ output. The group reported a net profit of RM55.1 billion for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024, down 31.7 per cent from RM80.7 billion a year earlier, due to lower average realised prices and favourable tax adjustments in 2023. On Petronas Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros), Tengku Muhammad Taufik said Petronas remains open to ongoing discussions regarding its role in the state.
