What was Orlen's first-quarter adjusted core profit growth and what key factor drove the increase?

Orlen reported a 22.8% rise in first-quarter adjusted core profit, with LIFO-based EBITDA reaching 14.07 billion zlotys ($3.85 billion), surpassing the consensus of 13.2 billion zlotys; this beat was driven primarily by the outbreak of the Iran war, which caused a surge in refining margins — rising to $17.0 per barrel from $8.9 per barrel a year earlier.

How did weather conditions and regulatory changes affect Orlen's energy segment performance in Q1?

Cold weather in January and February boosted demand for electricity and natural gas, lifting volumes in Orlen's energy segment and helping to offset the negative impact from lower domestic gas and electricity distribution tariffs.
