Reliance Industries (RIL) reported a 1.5% increase in adjusted net profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared to the previous quarter. Top-line and EBITDA were largely in line with estimates due to a 22.7% rise in revenues driven by growth in refining and oil & gas segments, although operating profit was 4.9% lower than expected because of lower production at oilfields and gas fields. Refining margins of $7.9/barrel were maintained through higher throughput despite lower outputs. While most segments grew revenues compared to previous periods, the company's profit was constrained by increased depreciation costs and lower than expected production volumes.
