SALES BREAKDOWN BY SEGMENT AND BY REGION

As a reminder, in the Energy Distribution business, Rubis passes on changes in oil price to customers. Thus, key indicators to analyse performance are volume and unit margin (see tables below) rather than revenue.

On 4 November 2025, Clarisse Gobin-Swiecznik, Managing Partner, commented: “ Our performance this quarter once again demonstrates our ability to deliver growth in volumes and expand margins, in a challenging environment. What makes Rubis stand out is the strength of its diversified model - balancing risks across geographies and business lines and allowing us to seize commercial opportunities wherever they arise. Thanks to disciplined execution and the agility of our teams, we continue to deliver on our ambition and are well on track to achieve our 2025 EBITDA guidance.”

LPG demand was up 3% over the quarter. Similar to Q1, this performance was mainly driven by France and South Africa.

SARA refinery and logistics operations present specific business models with stable earnings profile which can generate some volatility on revenue from quarter to quarter.
