  • Full Funding for Polimery Police Secured Under Agreements
    04.06.2020 Full funding for Polimery Police secured under agreements Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty ZCh Police, Grupa Azoty Polyolefins, Grupa LOTOS, Hyundai Engineering Co., and Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND) have signed agreements for the financing of the Polimery Police project. Also, Grupa Azoty Polyolefins, the SPV formed to implement the project, which is of key importance to the entire chemical industry, has signed a credit facility agreement with a syndicate of domestic and foreign financial institutions. The total project budget is estimated at over EUR 1.5bn. The construction phase is scheduled for completion in 2022. ‘Today marks the end of many months of work to raise funding for Polimery Police, one of the largest industrial projects currently under way in Poland and wider Europe. The project is in progress, with Hyundai, our equity partner and general contractor, having entered the construction site earlier this year. Polimery Police is important to us and to the entire economy. It will help us to strategically diversify our revenue sources and Poland to turn from a net importer to a net exporter of polypropylene,’ said Wojciech Wardacki, President of the Grupa Azoty S.A. Management Board. The press conference held in Police to announce the signing of the agreements was attended by Polish President Andrzej Duda and Minister of State Assets Jacek Sasin. ‘A mechanism was created to implement a project worth PLN 7bn. It really is an incredibly huge and cost- intensive project. But what makes it so cost-intensive is that it is a world-class state-of-the-art facility,’ noted President Andrzej Duda.

Financial highlights C. Grupa LOTOS S.A. Separate financial statements for 2016 D. Directors’ Report on the operations Grupa LOTOS S.A. and the LOTOS Group in 2016 E. Auditor’s report and auditor’s opinion on the separate financial statements Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my pleasure to present the 2016 Annual Report of the LOTOS Group. Our 2016 financial performance was the best in LOTOS history. By capitalising on the expertise and experience of the Management Board and our staff, we successfully achieved the set targets, and delivered strong growth. Our consolidated revenue came in at nearly PLN 21bn, our LIFO-based EBITDA, the most significant financial measure for any oil company, rose 20% during the year (to approximately PLN 2.6bn), and the Group’s ability to generate cash on core operations improved 80%. We steadily and consistently worked towards reducing our debt and optimising sources of financing for investment projects. Our impressive performance was an effect of nearly full utilisation of the refinery units’ capacities, diversification of oil supplies, which was the best in years, and the more than doubled volume of hydrocarbon production from own fields (supported by steady expansionh of the potential of our production assets in Norway). Our trading business was significantly stimulated by the new fuel market legislation: the First Fuel Package introduced by the Polish government to effectively prevent illegal imports of fuels without paying the required taxes.

  • Powszechny Zakład Ubezpieczeń SA Jointly with Polski Fundusz Rozwoju Takes Over a 32.8% Stake in Bank Pekao from Unicredit
    8 December 2016 Powszechny Zakład Ubezpieczeń SA jointly with Polski Fundusz Rozwoju takes over a 32.8% stake in Bank Pekao from Unicredit PZU jointly with PFR signed an agreement with UniCredit S.p.A. for the purchase of 32.8% of the shares of Bank Pekao S.A. for a total amount of PLN10.6bn. The purchase price per share is PLN 123. This makes it one of the largest transactions in the European banking sector in recent years. The acquisition of Pekao's shares is in line with PZU's strategy until 2020, which assumes building a banking group with at least PLN140bn in assets and accumulating PLN50bn of third party AuM. PZU and PFR will cooperate in order to ensure the effective implementation of Pekao’s development strategy, preserving the low-risk profile of the bank, its strong profitability and a stable, long-term dividend policy. – Thanks to the finalisation of the transaction, PZU has become the largest financial group in Central and Eastern Europe, being a leader both in insurance and in the banking and asset management sectors. I am convinced that the existence of such a strong financial institution headquartered in Warsaw will have a significant influence on the financial stability and prospects of the sound development of the Polish economy. This institution will have unique possibilities, thanks to its strength and scale, to create value for our shareholders, clients and employees – said Michal Krupinski, PZU's CEO. – One of the challenges for the Polish economy is a lack of the strong local investor base, which is also visible in the banking sector.
