In the Downstream, the third quarter underlying replacement cost profit beforeinterest and tax was $720 million compared with $3.0 billion a year ago and $1.2billion in the second quarter.The Fuels business reported an underlying replacement cost profit of $345 million inthe third quarter, compared with $2.7 billion in the same quarter last year reflecting:– A significantly weaker refining environment versus the near-record levelsexperienced in the same period last year; and– The absence of earnings from the divested Texas City and Carson refineries in theUS which delivered unusually strong results in the third quarter last year due tothe favourable environment.The Lubricants business reported an underlying replacement cost profit of $325million compared with $310 million in the same quarter last year, demonstrating thestrength of our premium Castrol brands.The Petrochemicals business reported an underlying replacement cost profit of $50million compared with a loss of $20 million in the same period last year, with somecontribution from increases in utilisation and unit margins.Looking forward to the fourth quarter, we expect Fuels profitability to remain undersignificant pressure due to weak refining margins. This is due to a combination ofhigh gasoline stocks on both sides of the Atlantic, new competitor capacity additionsas well as lower seasonal demand.10
In Other Businesses and Corporate, we reported a pre-tax underlying replacementcost charge of $380 million for the third quarter.Guidance for the year remains a charge of around $500 million on average perquarter, however this can be expected to be volatile from quarter to quarter.The underlying effective tax rate for the third quarter was 31% compared to 34% ayear ago, benefiting from−−−A one-off adjustment of $100 million for changes in UK tax rates;Higher equity-accounted income; andBeneficial income mix effects.Full-year guidance for the underlying effective tax rate remains in the range of 36 to38%.11
