MOL Group's results for the first half of 2025: Slowdown of the regional economy affects business results

MOL Group announced financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025. In the second quarter, pretax profit was $236 million, a 56% year-over-year decline. The slowdown in the regional economy had a negative impact on operating results, but high production in the Upstream sector, strong sales volume in the Downstream segment, and growth in Consumer Services helped to mitigate this impact. 

Zsolt Hernádi, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO, stated: "Geopolitical tensions and regional macroeconomic challenges significantly affected our results, but our integrated business model allowed us to mitigate these effects. Based on the results for the first half of the year, we confirmed our financial guidance for 2025, although the risks to its realization have increased due to growing external instability since February, when we presented our initial expectations."
