Earnings were above consensus, mainly thanks to lower costs in Upstream. This is a good step as Repsol continues its resilience plan for the next two years. Lower production costs saved €135m on EBIT yoy, as well as €106m on lower exploration costs. Along the same line, the company guides for a capex of around €2.6bn in 2021, which is very low compared to the average of €3.6bn for 2021-25 guided during the capital markets day.

The company detailed its strategy after the net zero target announced a year ago. While 2021-22 is a focus around the balance sheet, 2023-25 will deliver growth. The dividend is cut to €0.60 per share and the total distribution could go back to €0.90 by 2023. The group sees an EBITDA of €8.2bn in 2025. The latter seems rich, with strong growth expected from customer and low-carbon business while the refining margin is expected to be $5.8/bbl.
