据离岸工程10月28日报道称，收入下滑导致墨西哥石油公司（Pemex）在第三季度净亏损874亿比索（合44.3亿美元），但这家处境艰难的国有石油公司10月28日表示，已削减了沉重的债务负担，扭转了近几年的趋势。

众所周知，截至2018年底，墨西哥石油公司持有1060亿美元的金融债务，国际信用评级机构一直在向该公司施加巨大压力，要求其财务往更可持续的道路上发展。

然而，该公司在向证券交易所提交的最新经营业绩文件中表示，自今年年初以来，其金融债务已减少6.1％，至996亿美元。

墨西哥石油公司首席财务官Alberto Velazquez表示，9月份为超过200亿美元的债务再融资的市场运作对实现这一目标至关重要。

他在电话会议上说：“这是十多年来该公司的净债务首次下降。” “此举降低了墨西哥石油公司在国际市场上的再融资风险，并增强了公司的中短期财务状况。”

尽管如此，数据显示仍然存在巨大挑战。

与去年第三季度相比，墨西哥石油公司的收入下降了20.2％，至3,505亿比索。该公司连续第四次出现季度亏损，是自2018年最后一个季度以来的最大亏损，当时该公司亏损了1,255亿比索。

墨西哥石油公司在报告中称，墨西哥原油价格的下跌和出口量的下降影响了销量，同时该公司当季还吸收了与外汇相关的超过350亿比索的亏损。

自上个月政府宣布削减墨西哥石油公司债务的计划以来，该公司债券的压力已有所缓解。该公司发行的10年期债券将于2021年1月到期，自9月11日以来的收益率已下跌110个基点。

墨西哥石油公司报告称，该公司2018年第三季度的净利润为268亿比索，这是一个不寻常的结果，该公司称这得益于积极的外汇效应。

Pemex Posts $4.4 Bln Loss

Slumping revenues pushed Mexico's Petroleos Mexicanos to a net loss of 87.4 bln pesos ($4.43 billion) in the third quarter, but the struggling state oil firm said on Monday it had cut back its hefty debt load, bucking the trend of recent years.

Pemex, as the company is generally known, held financial debts of $106 billion at the end of 2018, and it has been under intense pressure from international credit rating agencies to get its finances onto a more sustainable path.

However, in a filing to the stock exchange with its latest operating results, the company said since the start of the year it had reduced financial debt by 6.1% to $99.6 billion.

Pemex's Chief Financial Officer Alberto Velazquez said that market operations in September to refinance more than $20 billion in liabilities had been central to achieving this.

"For the first time in over a decade, the company's net debt was reduced," he told a conference call. "That operation has lowered Pemex's refinancing risks in international markets and strengthened the company's short and medium-term finances."

Still, the figures showed substantial challenges remained.

Pemex's revenues fell 20.2% to 350.5 billion pesos compared with the third quarter of last year. Pemex's quarterly loss was the fourth in succession, and its biggest since the final quarter of 2018, when the company lost 125.5 billion pesos.

Lower prices for the Mexican mix of crude and a drop in export volumes ate into sales, while the company also absorbed foreign exchange related losses of more than 35 billion pesos during the quarter, Pemex said in its report.

Still, pressure on the company's bonds has eased since the government announced plans last month to cut Pemex's debt, with yields on its 10-year issue maturing January 2021 down by 110 basis points since Sept. 11.

Pemex reported a net profit of 26.8 billion pesos during the third quarter of 2018, an unusual result which the company said was aided by positive foreign exchange effects.
