TOTAL (TOT) Misses Q3 Earnings Estimates; Revenues Beat

 | Oct 30, 2016 09:24PM ET

Integrated oil and gas company TOTAL S.A. (TO:TOT) reported third-quarter 2016 operating earnings of 84 cents per share (€0.76 per share), lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents by a penny.

Moreover, third-quarter operating earnings plunged 28% from the year-ago tally of $1.17 per share (€1.06 per share).

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the reported quarter came in at $37.41 billion, down 8% from $40.58 billion in the year-ago quarter. Reported revenues also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $35.4 billion by 5.5%.

Production

Total hydrocarbon production during the third quarter of 2016 averaged 2,443 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (kboe) per day, up 4% year over year. The increase was primarily driven by new project startups, partially offset by the security situation in Nigeria and forest fires in Canada.

In the third quarter, liquids production averaged 1,290 thousand barrels per day, up 4%. Higher liquid production in Europe, Central Asia and America drove the overall output level, which was partially offset by lower production in the Asia-Pacific region.

Gas production during the quarter was 6,286 thousand cubic feet per day, up 5% year over year. Soft performance in Africa was more than offset by an increase in production in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Central Asia and America.
