strong upstream performance drives best-ever 1Q

Lotos announced its 1Q17 results today (26 April). At PLN 803m, its EBITDA was the highest recorded for a first quarter. There was a planned maintenance shutdown at the Gdansk Refinery during 1Q, and the stronger performance is mainly the result of the upstream segment. Management also stated that the strong dollar was a factor in the performance. With no major new production expected, and the EFRA upgrade project not due until next year, we believe 1Q17 sets a good tone for the rest of 2017E.
