Grupa Azoty’s financial results for Q3 align with estimates published on October 25. In Q3 2024, the Group reported consolidated sales revenue of PLN 3,085 million and an EBITDA result of minus PLN 120 million, with an EBITDA margin of minus 3.9%, reflecting an improvement of nearly PLN 228 million compared to the same period last year. The net loss for Q3 was reduced year-over-year by PLN 517 million to PLN 226 million, compared to a loss of PLN 743 million in Q3 2023.
