Details: Gazprom calculates dividends from the group’s consolidated profit in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which, in addition to the gas business, also includes oil, power and liquefied natural gas divisions.
The dividend policy envisages adjustments to the dividend base for non-cash items.
The rise in losses for the Russian gas monopoly is primarily due to reduced gas supplies to Europe, while the company’s operating costs remain high.
Background: In 2023, natural gas supplies to Europe by the Russian energy giant Gazprom decreased by 55.6% to 28.3 billion cubic metres.
