Rosneft said its net profit for 2014 was $5.7billion – a 10% decrease year-on-year – caused by current economic conditions.
Russia’s top oil producer said its earnings before EBITDA were up 11.6% from the year before to 1.06trillion rubles.
Chief executive Igor Sechin said: “Despite negative changes in macroeconomic environment dividend payout ratio remains 25 percent of net income.”
Last year, the company’s net debt was at $43.8billion, down from $57.4billion at the end of 2013.
Rosneft previously asked for more than 2 trillion rubles from the National Wealth Fund, one of two Russian funds, to finance some of its prospects.
Last month, the Russian Energy minister Alexander Novak said Rosneft may get 300billion rubles from the fund to finance five projects in both downstream and upstream.
