Russian state oil producer OAO Rosneft (ROSN.RS) Friday said fourth-quarter net profit fell 2% from last year partly due to higher taxes on the huge Vankor field and higher transportation costs, but was still supported by higher oil prices and a weaker ruble.
Russian state oil producer OAO Rosneft (ROSN.RS) Friday said fourth-quarter net profit fell 2% from last year partly due to higher taxes on the huge Vankor field and higher transportation costs, but was still supported by higher oil prices and a weaker ruble.

London-listed Rosneft said net profit under
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles fell to $2.99 billion from $3.06 billion in the fourth quarter 2011, above an average forecast of $2.71 billion in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of six analysts.

Revenue increased 38% to $23.95 billion from $17.38 billion a year earlier, boosted by a surge in global crude prices as well as higher output. Analysts had expected revenue at $24.04 billion.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, fell 12% to $4.75 billion.

Rosneft said it produced 2.62 million barrels of oil equivalent a day during the quarter, while net debt rose 13% in the three months to $15.86 billion.
