Rompetrol Rafinare, member company of the KMG International Group, recorded increasing financial results in the first half of this year, compared to the same period of 2020, as a result of the increase in sales, along with the positive evolution of international quotations for petroleum products.
"The relaxation of the restrictive measures, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to an increase in mobility, and the operational processes were at a level in line with the market demand, which registered a positive trend. Occurred immediately after the closure of the first semester, the unfortunate incident on the Petromidia platform will have negative effects from an operational point of view, given that the production of the refinery is stoped, until we will finalize the repair works in the affected units. However, we are convinced that, in the last quarter of the year, we will return to normal operational capabilities, and our mission is to ensure stability in the petroleum products market, in full compliance with legal norms and respecting safety measures for employees, facilities and communities in the area", said Felix Crudu-Tesloveanu, General Manager of Rompetrol Rafinare.
In the first six months of 2021, the Petromidia refinery operated without interruption, compared to the first half of 2020, when the largest profile unit in Romania was closed for the general turnaround of March-April 2020. Also, the demand, strongly affected by the pandemic context in 2020, has returned to levels similar to those of 2019.
The gross turnover of Rompetrol Rafinare in the first half of the year reached almost 2.3 billion dollars, and the operational profit (EBITDA) had a positive value of about 69 million dollars, compared to the negative value of 43.6 million dollars in H1 2020.
Also, there was an improvement from the net negative result in H1 2020 - 126.5 million dollars, the net loss in H1 2021 being 22.8 million dollars.
Rompetrol Rafinare continued to be an important contributor to Romania's state budget in the first part of the year, with a contribution of 459 million dollars in the second quarter of the year, respectively 838 million dollars in the first half of 2021.
The main shareholders of Rompetrol Rafinare SA are KMG International (54.63% - directly and indirectly) and the Romanian State through the Ministry of Energy (44.7%).
