– A negative impact on our results in Q3 was primarily driven by an increased supply and pressure on margins of our key products. We also experienced the observed for several quarters decrease in demand for B100 bio-fuel and bitumen products. Moreover, we also achieved lower margins on the wholesale market of electricity, and after the elections in Ukraine we received further planned supplies of petroleum in Q3 and Q4 of 2020. However, currently we can observe that the market situation is improving, and market margins have grown. Our team is working hard to make the most effective use of the situation and at the end of 2020 be as close to the assumed forecast as possible – says Mr Adam Sikorski, President of the Management Board of UNIMOT S.A.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic the UNIMOT Group has not ceased development actions. Sales forces and assembly teams are being constantly enlarged, own production of PV panels was also launched. Q3 in the AVIA chain consisted in inclusion of new stations, introduction of an innovative Eat&Go concept and the second edition of the image campaign “A big plus for…”
– The chain of AVIA stations and the RES area are now primary directions of our development. In the scope of AVIA stations, apart from the franchise model and lease model, where we have positive experiences – we are observing facilities with regard to their potential purchase. In case of RES in turn – among others, we are considering possibilities of becoming involved in photovoltaic farms development – says Mr Adam Sikorski.
