In the third quarter, revenues climbed by 4% to RON9.8 billion, while net profit reached RON1.35 billion, up 4%. The evolution reflects pressures of falling oil and gas prices, partially offset by rising refining margins and positive power business contribution following the power sector deregulation.
“In a lower crude price environment, our nine-months results reflect the benefits of our business integration, with positive impact from increased refining margin. The integration value was especially evident in the third quarter, with improved performance in R&M, in addition to G&P returning to positive result. However, signs of economic slowdown began to affect the demand for fuels and natural gas,” stated Christina Verchere, CEO OMV Petrom.
The Clean CCS result for 9 months decreased by 20%, to RON3.8 bn lei, while organic investments over the same period increased by 28% to around RON5 billion.
The contribution to the state budget was estimated at around RON12 billion, close to the 2024 level. The company also approved the fourth consecutive special dividend, worth RON0.0200 per share, so that sums distributed to shareholders in 2025 have reached some RON4 billion.
„Financial discipline remains in focus, with efficiency programs in place aiming to address market challenges and maintain competitiveness. Assuming a predictable and competitive fiscal and regulatory framework, we continue investments targeting a record figure of up to RON 8.2 billion for 2025.”
