FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Energy group Uniper (DE:UN01) on Tuesday said operating profit at its global commodities segment fell 42 percent in the first quarter, hit by a cold spell in Europe that came after the group had already hedged energy prices.
The company, in which Fortum (HE:FORTUM) is seeking a 47 percent stake, said adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at 134 million euros (118 million pounds) at the unit.
