Results overview

INA Group reported H1 2026 net sales of EUR 2.23 billion and EBITDA of EUR 309 million. Net debt rose to EUR 479 million, with a gearing ratio of 22.8%.

Exploration & Production

E&P CCS EBITDA was EUR 172.3 million, up 16% year‑on‑year. Hydrocarbons production increased by 3% following workovers in Croatia and Egypt and new wells (Jam‑183 onshore and Ika A infill offshore); additional wells were started in Egypt and EUR 34.7 million of outstanding receivables from Egyptian concessions were collected. Capital expenditure in the segment was EUR 49.7 million, a 29% increase versus H1 2025. INA signed to acquire a 60% stake in SAVA‑07, bringing its position in that onshore area to 100%.

Refining, Marketing & Retail

CCS EBITDA for the segment was EUR 111 million, up 74% year‑on‑year driven by a favourable refining pricing environment. Rijeka Refinery had a planned catalyst change in Q1 2026. Consumer Services and Retail sales volumes fell 1% versus H1 2025 amid demand changes and the reintroduction of maximum retail price regulation in early March.

Investments & projects

Total capex reached EUR 148 million, mainly for the finalisation of the Rijeka Refinery Upgrade and offshore field developments. The Rijeka project achieved systems mechanical completion; commissioning of the new Delayed Coker Unit is progressing as planned. INA is advancing a commercial green hydrogen facility at Rijeka: the photovoltaic plant reached mechanical completion in early July and electrolyser installation is ongoing.
