Radek Nemecek, head of Unipetrol's investor relations, told Reuters the impairment charge on Kaucuk in the second quarter would exceed the first quarter's 450 million crowns ($21.99 million) by a few hundred million crowns.
As a result, the Czech unit of Poland's refiner PKN Orlen is likely to report a lower second-quarter net profit than the 1.6-1.7 billion crowns result suggested by some analysts' forecasts obtained by the company, he said.
Unipetrol is due to report second-quarter earnings on Monday.
