Ambitious targets − twofold growth of EBITDA
Presentation of the growth strategy for 2017−2022 (EBITDA to double in 2019−2022)
One of the objectives of the LOTOS Group’s strategy for 2017−2022 is to stabilise the LOTOS Group’s performance on the difficult oil market, and to maintain stable and sustainable growth in the following key business areas:
- Exploration and production,
- Manufacturing highest-quality fuels,
- Maintaining emergency stocks to build Poland’s energy security,
- Technological advancement of the refinery and implementation of innovations.
In 2019−2022, we intend to double our LIFO-based EBITDA, from about PLN 2bn in 2015−2017 to some PLN 4bn. We plan to allocate PLN 9.4bn to capital expenditure until 2022.
Capital expenditure will be made in line with a detailed action plan, which for the next two years (2017−2018) provides for focusing on the development of the B8 field and the completion of the EFRA Project. We will also put emphasis on supporting innovation implementation processes.
