Austria’s OMV sees sharp quarterly profits drop



OMV’s net profit continued to fall in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by lower commodity prices since a peak in 2022 and a natural decline of the company’s producing assets in several countries.

The Austrian gas and chemical player reported a 23% drop in fourth-quarter net income to €236 million ($255 million) compared with €308 million in the same period of 2022.
