Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn has submitted a criminal complaint alleging misconduct related to research and development projects outsourced to external entities in 2021–2022. The complaint claims that the company received information during the projects’ execution that the activities were futile, yet expenses continued to be incurred. According to the filing, the estimated financial loss to Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn from these projects is approximately PLN 10.7 million.

In Q3 2024, Grupa Azoty generated consolidated sales revenue of PLN 3.085 billion and an EBITDA result of minus PLN 120 million, with an EBITDA margin of minus 3.9%, reflecting an improvement of approximately PLN 228 million compared to the same period in 2023. The net loss for the quarter decreased year-over-year by PLN 517 million, amounting to PLN 226 million, compared to a loss of PLN 743 million in Q3 2023.

As of October 23, 2024, Grupa Azoty Polyolefins has produced a total of 200,000 tons of polypropylene. This production milestone was achieved during the testing phase to validate guaranteed parameters at the Polimery Police facility. Polypropylene produced at the newly constructed installations of the Polimery Police Project is available for both direct sales and distribution. Following the conditional interim acceptance of the PP installation and the Terminal Unloading and Storage subproject in July, the Company has full control over its production portfolio, which is being continuously adapted to market conditions.

As a result, cost-intensive provisions of the ZUZP have now been suspended in the four key companies of the Grupa Azoty Capital Group, in line with the corrective measures outlined by the Management Board of Grupa Azoty.
