In January-June 2023, PJSC Ukrnafta made a net profit of UAH 14.1 billion, the company’s CEO Sergiy Koretsky posted on Facebook on Tuesday morning.
“Net profit for the first half of 2023 amounted to UAH 14.1 billion. At the moment, net profit has exceeded UAH 20 billion. This is the net profit from business activities, the result after paying all taxes, including income tax. There were no changes in accounting policies,” he said.
According to him, the company’s projected revenue for the current year will be UAH 95 billion, which is twice the average annual revenue over the past decade.
“And the rise in oil prices has nothing to do with it. It’s a transparent market work without intermediaries,” emphasized Koretsky.
The Ukrnafta CEO also clarified that the company paid UAH 12.3 billion in taxes in the first half of the year, including UAH 3.3 billion in income tax. The plan for tax payments for the whole of 2023 is UAH 27 billion, including about UAH 5 billion of income tax.
“For example, over the past 10 years, we have paid UAH 12 billion in income tax. Accordingly, in 2023 alone, the company will transfer five times more money to the state budget than it was on average in 2012-2021,” he wrote.
At the same time, based on the results of its business activities this year, the company is preparing to pay at least UAH 6 billion in dividends if the shareholders’ meeting decides to pay a minimum rate of 30%, which even then will be more than the total result of the last 10 years.
“Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil producer and operator of a national network of 537 filling stations, of which 456 are in operation. The company is implementing a comprehensive program to restore operations and update the format of its filling stations. Since February 2023, Ukrnafta has been issuing its own fuel coupons and NAFTAKarta cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.
Ukrnafta’s largest shareholder is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a 50%+1 share.

In November 2022, Serhiy Koretskyi was appointed director of the company.
The net profit of the state-owned Oschadbank (Kyiv) in January-September 2023 amounted to UAH 14.18 billion, which is 6 times higher than the same period in 2022, according to the bank’s interim condensed report for the third quarter.
According to the report, the state-owned bank’s net profit for the third quarter amounted to UAH 7.34 billion, which is UAH 3.04 billion more than in the second quarter of this year and UAH 0.56 billion more than in the third quarter of last year.
According to the report, Oschadbank’s net interest income increased by 32.2% year-on-year to UAH 13.89 billion in January-September 2023, including a 24.4% increase to UAH 4.95 billion in the third quarter, which is UAH 0.75 billion more than in the second quarter of this year.

A significant contribution to the improvement of the bank’s financial result was made by the dissolution of provisions for expected credit losses on assets: for the first 9 months of this year, it amounted to UAH 1.4 billion, including UAH 0.16 billion in the third quarter, while for the same period last year, Oschadbank formed additional provisions of UAH 9.61 billion and UAH 4.20 billion, respectively.
The state-owned bank also reports that its total profit for January-September this year reached UAH 14.23 billion, 6.7 times higher than in the comparable period of 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, total profit increased by 9.2% compared to the third quarter of last year and by 69.1% compared to the second quarter of this year.
According to the report, in 9M2023, the bank’s assets increased by 16.9%, reaching UAH 314.78 billion by September 30. This growth is attributed to the increase in cash, correspondent accounts and funds with the NBU from UAH 28.36 billion to UAH 62.56 billion. In addition, according to the report, the volume of investments increased by UAH 10.07 billion to UAH 153.45 billion.
As for loans to customers, they grew by 3.1% to UAH 83.03 billion in the third quarter, but still remain below the figure of UAH 83.22 billion in July-September last year. Of this amount, UAH 62.07 billion was granted to corporate entities, UAH 7.54 billion to government and local authorities, and UAH 4.55 billion in mortgage loans.
Over the first nine months of 2023, Oschadbank’s customer accounts increased from UAH 233.94 billion to UAH 268.89 billion, while banks’ accounts decreased from UAH 0.54 billion to UAH 0.24 billion.
The equity of the financial institution increased by UAH 14.04 billion to UAH 36.2 billion in the first nine months of this year.
According to the National Bank of Ukraine, as of September 1, 2023, Oschadbank ranked second in terms of total assets (UAH 337.99 billion) among 64 operating banks in the country and first in terms of the number of branches – 1182.
The net profit of solvent banks in January-September 2023 reached UAH 109.9 billion, while in the same period of 222 this figure was only UAH 7.4 billion, the press service of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) reports.
“The main factor in the sector’s profitability remains the growth of interest income, primarily from highly liquid assets,” the regulator emphasized.
According to the NBU, operating income of financial institutions increased by 17.9% over the first nine months of the year, while net interest income increased by 38.7%. “Despite the increase in interest expenses due to higher interest rates on deposits, interest income grew more significantly,” the central bank said.
It is indicated that net fee and commission income in January-September increased by 5.4% year-on-year, but at the same time, its growth rate gradually slowed down due to a weak increase in payment card transactions.
The share of interest income in 9M2017 increased to 67.9% from 59.2% last year, while commission income decreased to 21.6% from 23.4%, and income from foreign exchange operations decreased to 7.3% from 14.5% due to the stability of the hryvnia exchange rate.
Overall, net operating profit before provisions increased by 23.9% to UAH 139 billion.
Another factor behind the sharp increase in profit was a 17-fold reduction in provisioning to UAH 5.7 billion. At the same time, the regulator reminded that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, banks have formed UAH 104 billion of additional loan provisions.
In general, the sector’s return on equity as of October 1, 2023 amounted to 56.9% compared to 4.3% in 2022.
“The income tax accrued for the first nine months exceeded the corresponding annual figure for the historically most profitable year of 2021,” the NBU said. According to it, it amounted to UAH 19 billion against UAH 4.3 billion in the first nine months of last year.
It is reported that as of October 1 this year, only six banks out of 63 solvent banks made a loss, which in total amounted to UAH 155 million.
According to the NBU, preliminary results of the sustainability assessment show that banks generally adequately assess credit risks. However, possible adjustments to the valuation of assets and provisions by individual financial institutions may affect annual profitability, the regulator said.
According to the NBU, in September, the net profit of banks increased to UAH 14.8 billion from UAH 11.9 billion in August and almost reached the record figure of UAH 15.5 billion in July, while last September banks ended with a net loss of UAH 1.06 billion.
