In the fourth quarter of 2023, Grupa Azoty achieved consolidated sales revenues of PLN 3,083 million and an EBITDA result of minus PLN 10 million, with an EBITDA margin of minus 0.3%. The financial results for Q4 2023 were significantly impacted by substantial impairment write-downs on non-financial fixed assets.

The financial situation that the new management board encountered at Grupa Azoty prioritizes ensuring the continuity of operations within the Capital Group companies and developing and implementing a recovery plan. Consequently, Grupa Azoty is making difficult decisions to withdraw from sponsorship activities. It is worth noting that the sponsorship policies adopted by the previous management board do not allow Grupa Azoty companies to engage in such activities in 2024.
