ORLEN Group’s Q3 2024 performance on a par y/y despite significantly deteriorated macroeconomic climate

For the third quarter of 2024, the ORLEN Group has posted robust operating performance, with adjusted LIFO-based EBITDA at PLN 8.1 billion amid increased macroeconomic headwinds, including a 65% y/y decline in refining margin. The LIFO-based EBITDA adjusted for one-offs and regulatory impacts was on a par with last year’s level (of PLN 8.6 billion). However, the Group did recognise further impairment losses on its non-current assets, totalling about PLN 3.5 billion, due mainly to former management’s poor investment decisions. In the nine months to 30 September 2024, the Group allocated PLN 22.1 billion to investments supporting asset upgrades, the energy transition and bolstering Poland’s energy security.
