PGNiG's performance in H1 2011 roughly unchanged year on year
In H1 2011, the PGNiG Group posted a net profit of PLN 1bn, with sales revenue increasing to PLN 11.5bn (by 7%) year on year. In H1 2011, the growing cost of gas purchases reduced the margin on gas sales, which had an adverse effect on the Group's financial performance. However, the Group was able to partially offset the adverse effect of a negative margin thanks to improved profitability of the Exploration and Production segment and a profitable disposal of shares in Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach.
