NITRATE FERTILIZERS – DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN MARKETS The COVID-19 pandemic had no significant impact on the fertilizers market in Poland/EU (demand, prices). The third quarter of the year is the harvest season, during which demand for fertilizers, especially in the first half of that period, is typically at an all-year low. POLYAMIDE Low feedstock prices and a major slump in demand relative to the pre-pandemic consumption and previous year’s levels were the main factors behind PA6 prices. Slow recovery of demand from end-use markets, including from the automotive sector (the key customer), especially visible in September. Continued good demand from the food and medical packaging industry. Real concerns about the reintroduction of national lockdowns in the fourth quarter, likely to undermine consumer confidence and suppress demand. NATURAL GAS Short-term impact. The downward trend in prices caused by gas oversupply was made even worse by the first coronavirus wave in spring. During the period of low gas prices, the decrease in demand from the industrial sector was offset by higher consumption in the power generation sector. Since August, gas prices have been on the rise, largely unaffected by the pandemic. MELAMINE Despite certain signs of demand improvement, most market participants remained concerned about the market’s prospects in view of the possible second wave of pandemic. In the third quarter, demand from the furniture and floor panel manufacturing industries, demand for DIY products, as well as demand in the markets of paint and garden products was relatively high. At the end of the quarter, demand for European melamine emerged from Asia and South America. OXO ALCOHOLS Demand for OXO products grew steadily over the third quarter of 2020, although it remained lower than normal for the period. Fearing the possible second wave of coronavirus infections, the market participants cut purchases down to the minimum at the beginning of the quarter. Demand grew as the epidemiological situation in Europe stabilised. Most experts are very cautious in their assessments of future demand and price movements, particularly in the face of the ongoing second wave of infections and the increasingly frequent restrictions imposed by European governments, with an adverse effect on the countries’ economies. TITANIUM WHITE The Covid-19 pandemic did not have any material effect on sales volumes. However, in the third quarter of 2020 the growing pressure from Chinese exports led to an approximately 2.3% drop in selling prices. Buyers adopted a cautious stance due to concerns related to the second wave of the pandemic. The reintroduction in many countries of measures designed to contain the spread of the pandemic and economic shutdowns may lead to further declines in sales due to partial or full lockdowns. 14 GRUPA AZOTY GROUP – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION GRUPA AZOTY GROUP FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (PLNm) CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROUP’S REVENUE Jan–Sep 2020 Higher sales volumes in Agro Fertilizers Other Grupa Azoty S.A. 17% 9% Higher prices of specialty fertilizers Grupa Azoty Puławy 22% Weaker demand from the markets where the Chemicals COMPO EXPERT and Plastics segment sells its products 15% Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn Grupa Azoty Police REVENUE 16% 21% 3000 10 000 8 000 -10% 2000 6 000 4 000 8,666 7,789 2,564 7,202 1000 7,202 2,416 6,634 2,325 2,196 2 000 2,000 0 0 JAN-SEP JAN-SEP JAN-SEP JAN-SEP JAN-SEP Q3 2016 Q3 2017 Q3 2018 Q3 2019 Q3 2020 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 NET PROFIT 500 100 400 50 300 -37% 76 74 453 41 200 416 5 360 0 263 100 Q3 2016 Q3 2017 Q3 2018 Q3 2019 Q3 2020 8 0 -50 JAN-SEP 2016JAN-SEP 2017JAN-SEP 2018JAN-SEP 2019JAN-SEP 2020 -117 -100 15 GRUPA AZOTY GROUP – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION GRUPA AZOTY GROUP FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (PLNm) CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROUP’S Stability of the Agro Fertilizers segment EBITDA Jan–Sep 2020 Other Strong impact of the pandemic on the Chemicals and Plastics 4% Grupa Azoty S.A.
