Petrol warned on October 8, 2026 that full-year EBITDA could fall 15.00 to 20.00 percent below plan as regulated fuel margins weigh on Slovenian sales. MarketScreener published the company announcement, which also cited regulatory restrictions in Croatia and a EUR 27.50 million loss from Slovenian petroleum product sales in March 2026.

Three dated events shape the story

On May 21, 2026, Petrol shareholders approved a EUR 2.50 dividend per share for fiscal 2025, according to the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The payout provided an income reference before operating conditions weakened.

On August 28, 2026, Petrol reported first-half revenue of EUR 3.30 billion, up 12.00 percent year over year, while net income declined 24.00 percent to EUR 57.30 million and EBITDA fell 9.00 percent to EUR 131.80 million, according to RTV Slovenija.

On October 8, 2026, the supervisory board estimated full-year EBITDA at 15.00 to 20.00 percent below plan. The sequence matters: revenue expanded in the first half, but profit conversion deteriorated before the company issued its full-year warning.

What does regulation mean for earnings?

Petrol said regulated fuel pricing prevented the group from responding quickly to volatile oil markets. The company identified Slovenia and Croatia as the main pressure points, with the EUR 27.50 million March loss in Slovenia serving as a concrete measure of the exposure.

The first-half figures show the tension clearly. Revenue increased by EUR 354.00 million from the prior-year period, based on the reported 12.00 percent growth to EUR 3.30 billion, while net income decreased by EUR 18.00 million to EUR 57.30 million. For investors, the issue is therefore margin quality rather than sales volume alone.

Next reporting date is November 20

Petrol's next earnings report is scheduled for November 20, 2026, according to Investing.com. That date should provide the next quantified update on the gap between operating performance and the original full-year plan.
