- The company maintained a strong operational performance across divisions despite a less favorable refining environment.
- Repsol SA (REPYF) completed a significant share buyback program, reducing share capital by 40 million shares and announcing an additional 20 million share buyback for the second half of the year.
- The upstream division reported an adjusted income of EUR427 million, a 4% increase over the same quarter last year, driven by higher oil realization and higher volumes sold.
- Repsol SA (REPYF) is progressing well with key projects like Pikka in Alaska and Leon-Castile in the Gulf of Mexico, expected to start production in the next 12 to 18 months.
- Cash flow from operations was EUR0.9 billion, 32% lower quarter on quarter and 45% below last year, impacted by a EUR1 billion payment related to acquisitions and settlements.
- Net debt increased by EUR0.7 billion compared to March, reaching EUR4.6 billion, primarily due to the purchase of treasury shares and new leases.
