    * PKN Q2 results to be released on July 29 
    * PKN expected to report 47% y/y fall in net profit 

    WARSAW, July 23 (Reuters) - Poland's biggest oil refiner PKN
Orlen          is expected to report a 47% fall in its second
quarter net profit from a year earlier, a Reuters poll showed on
Friday. 
    The state-run refiner is seen posting a net profit of 2.1
billion zlotys ($541 million) compared with 3.97 billion zlotys
in the second quarter of last year, when the results were
boosted by a one-off gain on the purchase of utility Energa, the
survey of eight banks and brokerages showed. 
    That would put PKN's net profit for the first half of the
year at 3.95 billion zlotys. 
    The poll also estimated the state-run group's clean EBITDA
LIFO at 2.5 billion zlotys in the second quarter.

Orlen (figures in millions of zlotys unless stated otherwise):
