Rubis Records Solid Performance in the Third Quarter of 2025
According to Rubis' statement, the group observed an increase in volumes and margins in its core energy distribution activities in the third quarter of 2025, despite a decline in crude oil prices.
Energy Distribution Sector Shows Growth
Rubis reports that the volumes distributed in the energy distribution sector increased by 6% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 1,581,000 cubic meters. Total revenue decreased by 3% compared to Q3 2024, amounting to 1.58 billion euros. The Retail & Marketing segment saw its volumes grow by 6%, while revenue slightly decreased by 1%. The company's gross margin improved by 9%, supported by increased margins in the LPG, fuel, and bitumen sectors.
Strong Growth in Renewable Electricity Production
Rubis has confirmed strong growth in its renewable electricity production activity through its subsidiary Photosol, with a 23% increase in installed capacity reaching 633 MWc. Revenue for the renewable electricity production segment also increased by 24% compared to the third quarter of 2024, reaching 21 million euros. Meanwhile, the Support & Services activity recorded revenue of 215 million euros, down 17% from the previous year, mainly due to the volatility in the profitability profile of the SARA refinery.
Diversified Model Mitigates Impact of Market Fluctuations
Rubis indicates that its diversified model has helped mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations and the decline in crude oil prices. For the year 2025, the group forecasts an EBITDA ranging between 710 and 760 million euros, considering a stable impact of IAS 29 standard on hyperinflation compared to 2024. Rubis has also reaffirmed its targets for 2025, relying on solid operational execution.
