Press Release28/07/2016 15:00
Provisions of 346 million euros were made in the first half earnings to cover the restructuring of the workforce previously approved by the company.
All Repsol’s business areas achieved positive results, which is especially significant given depressed oil prices. There was a 31% fall in Brent prices and a 28% fall in Henry Hub prices compared with the same period of the previous year.
Adjusted net income was 917 million euros compared with 1.24 billion euros in the first six months of 2015, which included exceptional financial results of 500 million euros.
The Upstream business unit (Exploration and Production) increased its adjusted net income by 301 million euros compared with the first half of 2015.
Average production was 705,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day, 60% more than that produced during the first half of 2015, primarily because of the incorporation of Talisman assets.
The Downstream business unit (Refining, Chemicals, Marketing, Lubricants, Trading, LPG and Gas & Power) posted an adjusted net income of 934 million euros, with an outstanding contribution from the chemicals business, which improved its sales and margins.
