In the first six months of 2012, the company reported a net profit of RON260.07 million.
GDF Suez Energy said gas purchase costs fell roughly 25% to RON1.14 billion in the first half, from RON1.53 billion in the same period of 2012.
The company reported sales of RON2.24 billion in the first six months of 2013, 5.6% lower on the year.
The weaker result was due to lower revenues from natural gas deliveries and distribution, GDF Suez said in its financial report.
“The decrease was partly compensated by higher revenues from electricity sales and production, as well as by other revenues,” the company said.
The results are consolidated and include GDF Suez Energy’s units Distrigaz Sud Retele, Distrigaz Confort, Braila Winds and Alizeu.
