The financial results were underpinned by the government decision to ease the tax burden on the company, which effectively lost the European gas pipeline market, once its key source of revenues, following the start of the conflict with Ukraine in February 2022.
The net income came in below analyst forecasts, polled by the Interfax news agency, for it to reach 200 billion.
Revenue for the quarter reached 2.18 trillion roubles, down from 2.4 trillion roubles a year ago.
For the first nine months of the year, net income rose by almost 13% from the same period a year ago to 1.12 trillion roubles.
