Low gas prices
OMV increases profit to 846 million euros
The partly state-owned oil, gas and chemicals group OMV generated a net profit for the period attributable to shareholders of 378 million euros in the second quarter of 2024 - compared to 380 million euros in the same period of the previous year.
For the half-year as a whole, it increased by ten percent to 846 million euros. The CCS operating result before special items (adjusted for inventory effects) rose by four percent to 1.23 billion euros.
Group sales fell by four percent to 8.6 billion euros in the second quarter, mainly due to lower natural gas prices, and by 16 percent to 16.8 billion euros in the first half of the year.
