LPG gas is also sold in bottles, which are supplied to about 1300 clients. The Group also owns one of few liquefaction plants in Poland, which allows for production of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The Group sells natural gas to large final consumers with the use of pipelines of Polska Spółka Gazownictwa Sp. z o. o. The sale from own distribution network in turn is directed primarily to large industrial and institutional consumers, but individual and institutional consumers are also being connected to the pipelines. In 2016 the UNIMOT Group also began electricity trading.

In 2014 the Company actively developed liquid fuels sales, in particular Diesel oil and bio-fuels. Thanks to this activity development the UNIMOT Group has become the leading independent importer of this fuel to Poland and an important independent distributor. The strategy of Diesel oil sales implemented in recent years resulted in a substantial growth of incomes and a high dynamism of the Group’s net profit growth. According to the estimated results for the year 2016 the incomes of the UNIMOT Group amounted PLN 2,3 billion and net profit PLN 30 million. This means a yearly growth of incomes by 68% and net profit growth by 141%.
Investment plans of the UNIMOT Group
The Company plans to acquire about PLN 85 million by issuance of new shares. These resources are to be used to expand the scale of its operations and will be used to implement the four main investment goals:
- investments into new technologies – starting a new channel of fuel sales with the use of an innovative mobile platform “tankuj24.pl” facilitating sales of Diesel oil and petrol in the new retail client sales channel – The Company intends to spend about PLN 3 million to achieve this goal, the estimated share of resources acquired from the issuance of shares in total expenditures is 75%. The expected date of starting the project – I half of 2017,
- introducing the brand of AVIA petrol stations into the Polish market on a franchise basis, which will enable the Company to reach a new segment of fuel recipients. The Company intends to spend about PLN 23 million in order to achieve this goal, the expected share of resources acquired from the issuance of shares in total expenditures is 100%. The expected date of starting the project – 2017,
- financing the growth of liquid fuels sales – intensifying the sales of Diesel oil, both territorial and volume scope and strengthening the position of a leading independent supplier. The Company intends to spend about PLN 59 million in order to achieve this goal,
- in case the Company finds an investment opportunity in the form of acquiring an entity in the industry or assets connected with the activity in the scope of liquid fuels the Company will consider a change of Goal 3, which will result in moving all resources acquired from the issuance of share or their part and which were intended to be spent to achieve Goal 3, in order to carry out Goal 4. On the day when issuing prospectus is published UNIMOT S.A. cannot precisely determine the amount that will be spent on such an investment.
– Our previous business model was based on distribution of fuels mainly in the business-to-business channel. Thanks to our application Tankuj24 and the contract with AVIA International we will be able to expand our operations in the area of retail fuel sales. The industry we operate in requires substantial resources to finance the current operations. Despite dynamically growing profits we could not afford the step increase of our operations. Resources acquired through the issuing of shares will be used to achieve the set goals, increase our competitive advantage and even faster Company’s value creation for the shareholders – says Mr Robert Brzozowski, the President of the Management Board of UNIMOT S.A.
