The Vienna-based company posted earnings before interest and taxes (on a current cost of supply basis) of 851 million euros ($1.1 billion), compared to 800 million euros a year earlier.
Group sales increased by 4% to 10.78 billion euros, mainly driven by higher gas sales although partly offset by lower sales volumes from the exploration and production (E&P) segment. OMV said the reduced E&P sales volumes were mainly due to lower sales from Libya, Austria and the UK.
