*Note: The refining segment includes the results of Petromidia Navodari and Vega Ploiesti refineries. Rompetrol Rafinare calculates the gross refining margin as follows: (Sales of oil products – Cost of raw materials)/Sales volume. Net refining margin is operating profit (EBITDA) divided by sales volume.

In the period January – September 2025, the Petromidia Năvodari refinery processed over 4.3 million tons of raw materials, resulting in approximately 1.25 million tons of gasoline and 2.28 million tons of diesel and Jet A1 fuels. Fuel sales were directed approximately 60% to the domestic market.

The refinery’s daily throughput reached a level of 16.76 thousand tons in the period July–September, processing a total of 1.54 million tons. Thus, the refinery utilization rate was 99.37%, and 96.82% for the first nine months overall.

The yield of light products (gasoline, diesel, LPG, JET, propylene) recorded in the first nine months of 2025 was 87.1% wt, and the Energy Intensity Index (EII) reached a level of 92.9 points, highlighting the refinery’s ongoing commitment to energy efficiency and process optimization.

Regarding the Vega refinery (the only domestic producer of bitumen and hexane), approximately 281 thousand tons of raw material were processed in the first nine months of 2025, a level directly determined by the increased quantities of components received from the Petromidia refinery.

The Vega refinery recorded optimal operational parameters, with a low technological loss of 0.77% and an energy consumption of 2.47 GJ/t. This year, Vega celebrates 120 years of operation, the refinery being a symbol of the Romanian energy industry.

Fuel sales in the retail sector recorded a slight decrease, as a result of the general market demand, determined by the increase in VAT, excise duties, and purchasing power being on a downward trend.

In the period January – September 2025, sales through wholesale channels increased, as a result of the strategic effort of the management team to consolidate the market position.

At the end of September 2025, the distribution network in Romania reached 1,206 points of sale. The network includes company-owned stations, partner stations, and mobile stations: Express, internal bases of 9 and 20 cubic meters.
