Operational profit EBITDA LIFO in the petrochemical segment amounted to CZK 856m in 2Q14. Company recorded a sales increase of petrochemical products to 445kt in Q2 (+14% y/y), due to higher sales of both olefins and polyolefins. The results of the segment were also positively influenced by favourable GDP dynamics. On the other hand, there was negative macro impact driven by significant decline of olefin margins (-10% y/y). Renewable energy charges (OZE) continues to burden results of petrochemical segment. 

The retail segment recorded a positive EBITDA LIFO of CZK 120m in 2Q14, mainly due to higher fuel and non-fuel sales volumes, supported by moderate economic recovery in the Czech Republic and partly by the new legislation for mitigation of illegal imports. Benzina increased its market share from 14.1% to 14.9% y/y. Results of the segment were negatively affected by lower fuel margins, gasoline in particular, caused by strong competition on the Czech market, especially in Prague and surroundings.

The part of the Druzhba Pipeline located on the territory of Slovakia is owned and operated by TRANSPETROL, a.s. The contract closed with Transpetrol is important in terms of the Czech Republic’s oil security.
