The Slovenian energy group Petrol recorded 4.5 billion euros in sales revenue last year, which is 17 percent higher than a year earlier, while net profit increased by 12 percent, the largest Slovenian company by revenue announced on Wednesday.
>>>Petrol achieved 60 million euros in net profit
Petrol’s net profit of 81.1 million euros is attributed to strong sales revenue growth. In 2017, Petrol sold petroleum products worth 3.4 million euros, which is five percent more than a year earlier, and also sold 1.3 terawatt-hours of natural gas, 151,000 tons of liquefied gas, 21 terawatt-hours of electricity, and 140.8 thousand megawatts of thermal energy.
Thus, the majority of revenue was generated from the sale of energy and petroleum products, while revenues from the sale of commercial goods increased by 7 percent last year, to 538.3 million euros, according to the unaudited business report of the company for 2017, which was approved by the supervisory board.
