Production and Financial Performance

In the first nine months of 2025, Rompetrol Rafinare processed 4.61 million tons of raw materials at its Petromidia and Vega refineries. Fuel production, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, totaled 3.52 million tons. The company reported a gross turnover of $4.44 billion and an EBITDA of $175 million, but faced a net loss of $20 million due to international market volatility and fiscal challenges.

Operational Highlights

The Petromidia refinery processed over 4.3 million tons of raw materials, achieving a utilization rate of 96.82% for the first nine months. The Vega refinery processed 281 thousand tons of raw materials, benefiting from increased component supplies from Petromidia. The refinery maintained optimal operational parameters with a low technological loss of 0.77% and energy consumption of 2.47 GJ/t.

Market and Sales

Fuel sales were directed 60% to the domestic market, with a slight decrease in retail sales due to increased VAT, excise duties, and declining purchasing power. However, wholesale sales increased as part of a strategic effort to strengthen market position. The distribution network in Romania expanded to 1,206 points of sale, including company-owned, partner, and mobile stations.

Petrochemical Production

Total polymer production reached 62 thousand tons, with sales primarily targeting the domestic market. The company restarted its Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plant in May, continuing to support various production segments in Romania.
