Novatek Profit Drops on Foreign Exchange, Misses Estimates

Novatek,
controlled by billionaires Leonid Mikhelson and Gennady Timchenko,
suffered from lower prices for crude and gas condensate amid slumping
demand in export markets, while export duties on the liquids remained
high. Sales of gas, which makes up most of the company’s output, were
hurt by President Vladimir Putin’s delay of an annual increase in the
regulated price to July 1, keeping a lid on domestic tariffs during his campaign to return to the Kremlin.
