Noble Group suffers from schizophrenia; its demise was never “their” fault or caused by the injurious actions of its traders.
Caught in-between, with losing positions the high rollers have framed it as “ because of liquidity constraints”.
For Noble Group “the problem” must be the exact solution, they have punted for working capital everywhere from the MD&A to Press/Investor Communication and Strategic Review…
In its Financial statements* for the six months ended 30 June 2017;
Noble presents itself as a $2B net equity company with an unaudited $1,45 MtM Gains on Derivatives company*
The trader has -$763 million negative OCF and its net debt has increased by nearly $1B to $3.81B.
* unaudited.
...
The Energy Segment traded at a loss of $226 million during 1H-2017 (excluding financing costs and salaries).
That’s more than -$1.25 million per business day… Monday to Friday but the business is run smoothly. Of course no.
But in the world of Noble shortlisters rush on a “bargain” 🙂
...
Out of Control
The Non-Performance of Global Oil Liquids should not be that shocking if you know the “Book now, think later” and underdstand karma at the company.
Noble had two or three large take-of-pay deals in the U.S but the wind has changed as it always does in the physical energy markets.
It is the last tango act of an unprincipled trader assaillant.
The burden of Karma is heavy as Noble crosses the gates of death.
