Grupa Azoty is currently analysing non-compete agreements signed in recent years that have been unfavourable for particular companies within the Group and have caused harm to these entities. The first such complaint, concerning the signing of a non-compete agreement after the termination of employment, has been filed by Grupa Azoty Puławy with the District Prosecutor's Office in Puławy.
In the first half of 2024, Grupa Azoty generated consolidated sales revenues of PLN 6,743 million, with an EBITDA result of minus PLN 179 million and an EBITDA margin of minus 2.7%. This represents an improvement of nearly PLN 830 million compared to the same period last year. The net loss for the first half of this year amounted to PLN 748 million, compared to a loss of PLN 1,098 billion in the first half of 2023.
The management boards of Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty Police, and Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn have signed agreements with Trade Union Organizations to suspend selected cost-intensive provisions of their Collective Bargaining Agreements (ZUZP). This marks another step in the cost restructuring process that has been underway since spring this year, in response to the financial difficulties Grupa Azoty has faced since the second half of 2022.
