The decline in company’s bottom-line is expected mainly due to 16% YoY decline in oil prices despite 28% YOY currency depreciation, 4% to 5% drop in oil and gas production and higher exploration expenses.

While the increase in profitability is expected mainly on the back of higher top-line earnings due to currency depreciation, lower finance cost due to absence of exchange losses and lower exploration cost due to lesser activity during the quarter.
