Gazprom Neft may raise its dividend payout as a percentage of net income even as profit climbs to a record, first deputy chief executive Vadim Yakovlev said.
Gazprom Neft may pay out 23 percent of net income under U.S. GAAP standards this year, compared with 22 percent last year, Yakovlev said Tuesday.
The oil producer expects profit to rise 71 percent to $5.4 billion this year, according to a presentation to analysts Tuesday. Capital spending may increase to $4 billion next year from $3.8 billion this year, Yakovlev said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
