The financial trajectory shows a period of significant margin expansion peaking in mid-2022, followed by a gradual contraction in profitability through the first quarter of 2026. Operating margins exhibited substantial volatility, rising from 7.35% in March 2021 to a peak of 24.21% by September 2022, before declining to 8.81% by March 2026.

Cost Structure and Operating Expenses
Crude oil and product purchases represent the primary cost driver, consistently accounting for over 54% of revenue. This expense peaked at 62.29% in March 2026, contributing significantly to the compression of operating margins in the final period of the analysis. Production and manufacturing expenses remained relatively stable, generally fluctuating between 9% and 15% of revenue, with a notable low of 9.60% in June 2022.
Operating Overhead and Depreciation
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained lean and stable, typically ranging between 2.18% and 4.22%. Depreciation and depletion charges showed higher volatility, with spikes observed in March 2022 (10.12%) and December 2023 (9.48%), suggesting periodic asset impairments or significant capital expenditure cycles.
Taxation and Non-Operating Impact
Other taxes and duties accounted for a significant portion of revenue, varying from a low of 6.17% in mid-2022 to 11.75% in June 2021. Interest expenses and non-service pension costs remained minimal and relatively constant throughout the period, typically representing less than 0.50% of revenue each, indicating a stable debt service profile.
Net Profitability Analysis
Net income attributable to the parent company mirrored the trend of operating income, reaching a maximum of 18.46% of revenue in September 2022. Following this peak, net margins stabilized between 8% and 10% throughout 2023 and 2024, before dropping to 5.03% by March 2026. This decline is primarily correlated with the increase in crude oil purchase costs and a relative decrease in operating income.
