Commenting on the results for 9M 2025, Igor
Sechin, Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Rosneft stated:
"During the reporting period, the Company
operated in a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, including
lower prices amid rising oil supply. It is worth noting that in
November, international energy agencies once again raised their oil
market surplus forecasts for Q4 2025 and H1 20261
despite a slowdown in OPEC production growth.
Outpacing inflation of natural monopoly tariff
indexation, increased costs of anti-terrorism security measures, high
level of the Bank of Russia's key rate, and the strengthening of the
ruble since the beginning of the year put additional pressure on the
Company's performance for 9M 2025.
Despite the negative macroeconomic
environment, the protection of shareholders’ interests remains one
of the Company’s main priorities. On November 17, the Board of
Directors recommended that the General Shareholder Meeting, at an
extraordinary absentee vote, should resolve to pay interim dividend
of RUB 11.56 per share. In full compliance with the corporate
dividend policy, a total of RUB 122.5 bln or 50% of H1 2025 net
income is recommended to be distributed as dividends.
Operating
Performance
Exploration and Production
9M 2025 liquid hydrocarbons production amounted to
134.7 mln tons (3.67 mln bpd), including 45.4 mln tons in Q3 2025.
The indicator performance is primarily driven by the production cap
in compliance with the decisions of the Russian Government.
The Company's 9M 2025 gas production amounted to
58.2 bcm (1.30 mln boepd). Greenfield projects in the Yamal-Nenets
Autonomous Region commissioned in 2022 account for over a third of
the Company's gas production.
As a result, the Company’s hydrocarbon
production in 9M 2025 amounted to 182.6 mln toe (4.97 mln boepd).
9M 2025 production drilling footage exceeded 9 mln
meters. Rosneft commissioned 2.2 th. new wells, 74% of which were
horizontal.
In 9M 2025, Rosneft completed 1.2 th. km of 2D
seismic and 3.5 th. sq. km of 3D seismic onshore. The Company
completed testing of 38 exploratory wells with a success rate of 95%.
Vostok Oil Project
As part of the flagship Vostok Oil project, in 9M
2025, the Company completed 1.2 th. km of 2D seismic and 1.5 th. sq.
km of 3D seismic.
The Company continues pilot development of the
Payakhskoye and Ichemminskoye fields: in 9M 2025, production drilling
footage was 101 th. meters, while 19 production wells were completed.
Pilot production is carried out at the Payakhskoye and Ichemminskoye
fields with produced crude transported in winter by trucks from the
Payakhskoye field to Suzunskoye field.
Work is underway at the 'Vankor – Payakha –
Sever Bay' trunk oil pipeline. As of the end of September 2025, 637
km of the pipeline were laid at design levels and 119 th. piles were
installed. Underwater main and back-up sections of the pipeline
crossing the Yenisey River were laid and backfilled. The shore
reinforcement and engineering protection work is underway.
The construction of two cargo berths, as well as a
berth for the port fleet at the Sever Bay Port terminal, is nearing
completion. Construction of the first oil loading terminal continues,
and construction of the second one has begun. Construction of a crude
oil delivery and acceptance point at the Sever Bay Port, and of the
Suzun and Payakha oil pumping stations is underway.
Refining
The refining volume amounted to 57.7 mln tons in
9M 2025. Decrease in the refining volume is attributable to the need
for maintenance and repair works as well as to the optimization of
refinery utilization amid the current pricing environment, logistics
constraints and demand.
Rosneft continuously works to maintain a high
level of reliability of its oil refining assets. In particular, the
Company supplies the refineries with its own catalysts, which are
necessary for the production of high-quality motor fuel. In 9M 2025,
Rosneft produced 1.9 th. tons of catalysts for hydrotreatment of
diesel fuel and gasoline fractions, as well as protective layer
catalysts. Rosneft subsidiaries also produced 102 tons of gasoline
reforming catalysts and 218 tons of catalysts for production of
hydrogen, petrochemicals and adsorbents.
The Company is a key supplier of high-quality
motor fuels for Russian consumers. In 9M 2025, 30.7 mln tons of
petroleum products were supplied to the domestic market, including
9.5 mln tons of gasoline and 12.3 mln tons of diesel fuel.
Rosneft continues to actively participate in
trading on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange. In
the reporting period, 7.1 mln tons of gasoline and diesel fuel were
sold on the exchange, which is 1.8 times higher than the required
volume.
Financial
Performance
The Company's revenue2 in 9M 2025
decreased by 17.8% year-on-year, amounting to RUB 6,288 bln, due to
declining oil prices and a stronger ruble. At the same time, the rate
of cost savings and expense reduction lagged behind the revenue
dynamics, with one of the reasons being indexation of tariffs imposed
by the natural monopolies. As a result, EBITDA in 9M 2025 decreased
to RUB 1,641 bln.
The net income attributable to Rosneft’s
shareholders amounted to RUB 277 bln in 9M 2025. The indicator is
still negatively affected by the high level of the key rate. In
addition, non-monetary and one-time factors negatively affected the
indicator in the reporting period.
In 9M 2025, the Company's capital expenditure
amounted to RUB 1,118 bln due to the planned implementation of the
investment program, primarily at the assets of Upstream. Free cash
flow for the reporting period amounted to RUB 591 bln.
The net debt/EBITDA ratio at the end of September
2025 amounted to 1,3õ, which continues to remain at a level
significantly below the minimum covenant under the loan agreements.
ESG
In the reporting period, the Company continued
activities aimed at achieving sustainable development goals under the
Rosneft-2030 Strategy.
Rosneft applies advanced technologies and
state-of-the-art production methods to create a safe working
environment and minimize the risk of occupational injuries and
occupational illnesses. In 9M 2025, the Lost Work Injury Severity
Rate (LWIS) decreased by 22%.
As a result of accident prevention measures taken,
the number of incidents related to process safety at the Company’s
subsidiaries sites decreased. In particular, in 9M 2025, the
frequency rate of severe loss of containment events (PSER-1) reduced
by 50% year-on-year.
Reproduction of aquatic biological resources is an
integral part of environmental protection activities. In 9M 2025, the
Group Subsidiaries released more than 16.5 mln juvenile fish of
various species into water bodies in the regions of their operations.
Special attention is given to conservation and
restoration of natural resources – over 9M 2025, employees of the
Group subsidiaries planted more than 900,000 forest seedlings.

increase in OPEC+ oil production quotas in September was 547 thousand
bpd, and an increase in October–December was agreed at 137 thousand
bpd monthly. At the same time, OPEC+ pauses oil output increase for
Q1 2026.
