The ORLEN Group's organisational structure includes internal control, risk management, compliance, and internal audit functions.

1. Internal control

The Control and Security Area of ORLEN S.A. conducts inspections and inquiries at ORLEN S.A. and other ORLEN Group companies. The Area assesses compliance by employees of ORLEN S.A. and other ORLEN Group companies with applicable laws and regulations and internal policies, and takes steps to counteract any threats to ORLEN Group's interests. The Control and Security Area is responsible for segment oversight in the control function across ORLEN Group companies.

2. Risk management

The Enterprise Risk Management Department, which is part of the Risk Management and Compliance Area, coordinates the risk management process across the Group. Risk management at each of the ORLEN Group companies is the direct responsibility of its management board and the coordinator appointed by that board. The Risk Management System is structured primarily around the Enterprise Risk Management Policy and Procedure. The Corporate Risk Management System is one of the management tools supporting the effective delivery of strategic and operational objectives, and providing information on the risks at ORLEN S.A. and the Group and on their effective management.

3. Compliance

The role of the compliance system is to ensure compliance of the ORLEN Group companies with applicable laws and regulations, internal rules and policies, and adopted standards of conduct. This involves implementation of consistent legal and organisational measures to ensure compliance across ORLEN S.A.'s and other ORLEN Group companies' business processes.

4. Internal audit

The Internal Audit Function is performed by the ORLEN S.A. Audit Office, which operates under conditions that safeguard objectivity and independence. All internal-audit activities are conducted in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing as issued by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). Audit engagements are delivered under an annual audit plan approved by the Management Board and noted by both the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board and the Supervisory Board itself. Ad-hoc audits may also be commissioned by the Supervisory Board or the Management Board. The Internal Audit Function issues monitoring reports that track the implementation status of its recommendations; these reports are submitted to the Management Board and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

After the reporting period, on 26 March 2025, the Supervisory Board amended its Rules of Procedure to strengthen the independence of Internal Audit. Under these amendments, the Board will participate in the recruitment process for the Head of Internal Audit, with the Audit Committee providing its opinion on proposed candidates.

The Supervisory Board receives regular reports from the functions responsible for the internal control, risk management, compliance, and internal audit systems. Based on these reports and any additional clarifications requested, the Supervisory Board continuously monitors the effectiveness of the Company's internal-control environment, promptly addressing any identified issues.

Having reviewed the rules of operation of the ORLEN Group's internal control, risk management and compliance systems and internal audit function and the reports and clarifications on their performance as submitted to it, the Supervisory Board confirms their adequacy and effectiveness in 2024.

XII. ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPANY'S COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE COMPANY COMPLIES WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS AS SET OUT IN THE WSE RULES AND APPLICABLE CURRENT AND PERIODIC REPORTING REGULATIONS FOR ISSUERS OF SECURITIES, ALONG WITH INFORMATION ON THE STEPS TAKEN BY THE SUPERVISORY BOARD TO PERFORM THE ASSESSMENT

In accordance with the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021, the Company's Supervisory Board prepares and submits to the Annual General Meeting, as part of its annual report, an assessment of the Company's compliance with corporate governance standards and the manner in which the Company complies with the corporate governance disclosure requirements as set out in the WSE Rules and applicable current and periodic reporting regulations for issuers of securities, along with information on the steps taken by the Supervisory Board to perform the assessment. Below is presented an assessment of the Company's compliance with the corporate governance standards:

• ORLEN applies the corporate governance standards defined by the Warsaw Stock Exchange in "Best Practice for GPW-Listed Companies 2021" ("Best Practice 2021"), with the exception of four principles relating to diversity policies and the holding of the General Meeting by electronic means. In accordance with the 'comply or explain' approach, on 29 July 2021 ORLEN provided an explanation as to why it does not adhere to:

  • principles 2.1., 2.2., and 2.11.6. of Best Practice 2021, concerning diversities policies:

At ORLEN, the diversity policy relating to the Company's employees is covered by a range of internal documents, but there is no formal policy in place that would specifically address the question of diversity among Management or Supervisory Board members. The Company annually discloses diversity metrics for the supervisory and management bodies within the ORLEN Group. The Company's diversity management does not include observing a specific gender diversity ratio. As at 31 December 2024 and as at the date of this Report, the Best Practice 2021 gender diversity requirement, whereby the minority group should have at least 30% representation on both Supervisory and Management Board, was met at the Supervisory Board but not at the Management Board.

The ORLEN Group's Sustainable Development Strategy for 2024-2030, published in December 2023, outlines the organisation's approach to and goals for responsible governance. Within the 'Governance' pillar of the Strategy, the Company committed to fostering diversity and inclusion. ORLEN is also a signatory to the Diversity Charter, an initiative aimed at promoting equality and diversity management in the workplace. In addition, the Company has initiated work towards developing and adopting a formal gender balance policy for its governing bodies.

  • principle 4.1. of the Best Practice 2021, relating to the holding of the General Meeting via electronic means: The Company has not received any requests from Shareholders to hold a virtual or hybrid General Meeting so far. The Company's Management Board has twice proposed amending the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure for the General Meeting to allow for virtual or hybrid General Meetings. These proposals were voted on and rejected by shareholders at the Annual General Meetings held on 29 June 2011 and 30 May 2012. Non-compliance with this principle does not affect the reliability of the Company's disclosure policy, nor does it hinder Shareholders' attendance at General Meetings. The Company broadcasts in real time and shares video recordings of General Meetings in the Investor Relations section of its corporate website at: https://www.orlen.pl/pl/relacie-inwestorskie/akcje-iobligacje/walne-zgromadzenie. This website section also contains all information regarding scheduled and past General Meetings of ORLEN S.A.

  • ORLEN has in place procedures ensuring its compliance with Section 29.3 and 29.3a of the WSE Rules, pursuant to which if the Company does not comply on a permanent basis with or has incidentally violated a principle set forth in Best Practice 2021, it is required to disclose such non-compliance or violation in a current report issued through the EBI reporting system operated by the WSE. In 2024, the Company did not breach any principles of Best Practice 2021.

  • The Company properly fulfils its corporate governance disclosure obligations resulting from the WSE Rules and regulations on current and periodic information to be disclosed by issuers of securities.

In accordance with Section 70.6.5) of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on current and periodic information to be published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognition as equivalent of information whose disclosure is required under the laws of a non-member state, dated 29 March 2018 (Dz.U. of 2018, item 757), ORLEN includes a statement of compliance with corporate governance standards in its consolidated and separate annual reports.

The shareholder and investor relations section of ORLEN's corporate website: https://www.orlen.pl/pl/relacje-inwestorskie/o-spolce/lad-korporacviny contains all current information on the Company's compliance with the principles of Best Practice 2021 and all other information required thereunder. This is where the Company's annual reports on compliance with best practices, as well as the Best Practice 2021 document can all be downloaded.

The Supervisory Board also may and does resolve to designate its members to individually perform supervisory duties with respect to the Company's compliance with the corporate governance disclosure requirements as set out in the WSE Rules and applicable current and periodic reporting regulations for issuers of securities. From 1 January to 6 February 2024, Andrzej Szumański, Deputy Chair of the Supervisory Board, was delegated to perform these duties. On 23 February 2024, the responsibility was delegated to Michał Gajdus, the then and current Deputy Chair of the Supervisory Board.

Each year, the Supervisory Board reviews and discusses an annual report on the fulfilment by ORLEN S.A. of disclosure requirements applicable to public companies. In March 2024, the Supervisory Board approved the 2023 report, and in March 2025 – the 2024 report. The reports included a discussion of the internal procedures, summary of inside information released to the public, overview of notification obligations of members of the Management and Supervisory Boards, statement of compliance by the Company with the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies, and summary of the Company's communication with the PFSA.

XIII. ASSESSMENT OF THE REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPANY'S AND THE GROUP'S SPONSORSHIP AND CHARITABLE DONATION SPENDING, INCLUDING THE TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT

In accordance with principle 1.5 of Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021, the Supervisory Board has reviewed the Company's report on the sponsorship and charitable donation spending of ORLEN S.A. and the ORLEN Group for 2024, which showed that ORLEN S.A.'s sponsorship and charitable donation spending totalled PLN 325,781 thousand and PLN 178,213 thousand, respectively, while the corresponding figures for the ORLEN Group were PLN 73,928 thousand and PLN 31,063 thousand.

The Supervisory Board positively assessed the report and, consequently, the reasonableness of the Company's sponsorship and charitable donation spending.

Sponsorship is a cornerstone of ORLEN's strategy, as it combines business growth with corporate social responsibility and building a strong, recognisable brand. As the leading multi-utility group in Central and Eastern Europe, ORLEN consistently supports sports, cultural, and charitable initiatives, thereby strengthening its ties with local communities and helping effect meaningful change. 2024 saw dynamic developments in ORLEN's sponsorship activities, which not only further enhanced the Company's market leadership but also contributed to the success of Polish athletes, various events, and local communities. The advertising value equivalent (AVE) generated by ORLEN's sponsorship projects reached a record-high PLN 1.44 billion.

Sport continues to be at the very heart of ORLEN's sponsorship activities. By supporting both elite athletes and promising young talent, the Company plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Polish sport. Throughout 2024, it continued its strong partnerships with Poland's leading sports federations, championing key disciplines, including athletics, football, volleyball, motorsports, and winter sports. At the same time, ORLEN remained firmly committed to grassroots sport initiatives, inspiring children and young people to adopt active, healthy lifestyles through dedicated programmes, tournaments, scholarship schemes, and local events.

In 2024, the Company also strengthened its engagement with culture and community-driven projects. Proudly serving as a patron of numerous prestigious cultural events, ORLEN supported theatres, museums, music festivals, educational initiatives, and institutions dedicated to preserving and celebrating Polish national heritage. ORLEN's sponsorship activities further encompassed meaningful charitable and social projects that provided assistance to the most vulnerable, as well as various with educational and environmental programmes. ORLEN Group companies actively contributed to local communities, consistently backing initiatives consistent with the Company's values.

For ORLEN, the year 2024 was marked by substantial transformation and ambitious opportunities, including a redefinition of its sponsorship policy to reflect the Company's expanding scale and growing aspirations as it seeks to become a regional leader in the energy transition. In sponsorship, just as in its everyday business activities, ORLEN remains focused on its relations with customers and the wider society, carefully responding to their needs and expectations. Deeply convinced that a responsible corporate citizen can seamlessly integrate business success with positive social impact, ORLEN views sponsorship as a powerful instrument for achieving its strategic ambitions, supporting effective marketing initiatives, driving forward its sustainability agenda, and enhancing lasting relationships with all stakeholders.

ORLEN aims for its sponsorship projects to serve as industry-leading examples of best practice – particularly in closely integrating sponsorship activities with strategic business objectives, ensuring transparency and compliance with corporate governance standards applicable to listed companies, and delivering the expected returns. To achieve this, ORLEN is evolving its sponsorship approach, moving beyond mere financial support towards more proactive engagement directly tied to clear business goals. Through responsible and purpose-driven actions, the Company strives to have a meaningful, lasting impact on the growth of Polish sport, culture, and science, strengthening the capabilities of its sponsorship beneficiaries and enhancing their long-term independence. Equally vital, driven by a strong sense of responsibility towards customers, are ORLEN's socially impactful programmes. We seek to inspire change, particularly in the field of sustainability, an example of which is our collaboration with the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, where ORLEN has become a partner in initiatives designed to reduce emissions.

At the strategic level, ORLEN sponsors events of national and international importance across sports and culture, including major performances by Polish athletes at top international competitions, as well as prestigious events such as the Tour de Pologne cycling race and the Baltic Opera Festival. ORLEN also supports leading scientific institutions and centres dedicated to promoting science and environmental protection. Furthermore, our strategic social and environmental activities include support for local communities, as well as targeted projects across the Baltic Sea region.

At the tactical level, ORLEN supports sports associations, including the Polish Football Association, the Polish Volleyball Federation, the Polish Ski Association, the Polish Athletics Association, and the Polish Handball Association (while simultaneously refining the nature of these partnerships), as well as prominent national cultural institutions in major urban centres, such as the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, the National Museum in Warsaw, the Grand Theatre – National Opera, and the National Forum of Music in Wrocław. At the local level, ORLEN supports essential sports and cultural institutions, as well as local communities in the locations where we operate. We engage with communities in the towns and cities where our initiatives are focused on improving local quality of life. We also get involved in targeted relief actions in response to specific incidents or emergencies, for instance, assisting flood victims and contributing to subsequent recovery efforts.

This portfolio of projects is further complemented by local initiatives that hold significant importance for the Company, including Poland-wide programmes such as Kulturalny ORLEN ("Cultural ORLEN") and Sportowy ORLEN ("Sporting ORLEN").

ORLEN's sponsorship activities in 2024 demonstrated the Company's continued strategic commitment to promoting sports, culture, and community-oriented initiatives. Through extensive support for key events and projects, ORLEN further strengthened its position both in Poland and internationally. At the same time, the recently initiated transformation of the Company's approach to sponsorship has already produced tangible results, with activities increasingly focused on the long-term development of sponsored initiatives, expanding their reach to broader audiences, and maximising both commercial and social outcomes. These measures have effectively enhanced ORLEN's brand image while simultaneously delivering measurable benefits to the communities and environments the Company supports. In the coming years, ORLEN will continue to expand its sponsorship activities in line with the evolving needs of athletes and communities alike, while remaining firmly committed to achieving its strategic ambition of making a long-lasting impact and its overarching goal of sustainable development.

Guided by the principles of the Charitable Giving Policy of ORLEN S.A. and the Organisational Standard for Charitable Activities, ORLEN Group companies engage in charitable initiatives in areas outlined in the Group's Sustainable Development Strategy. In managing their charitable giving, they always consider both economic and legal factors as well as consulting their legal and tax functions prior to making a donation The Act on State Property Management requires that any donations in excess of PLN 20 thousand, VATexclusive, be approved by the Company's Management and Supervisory Boards.

CSR projects are implemented with a view to supporting local communities and responding to their needs, with assistance provided primarily to those who are most disadvantaged. Such initiatives also take into account general social interests and are designed to foster relations with key stakeholder groups, including customers, employees, local communities, the media, and other ORLEN Group companies.

In 2024, Group companies were actively involved in projects run by the Corporate Foundations, such as grant and scholarship programmes, thus supporting their employees and local communities and helping enhance their own image among those stakeholders. Responding to the needs and expectations of employees, their families and the immediate environment is a key priority for the ORLEN Group with respect to its charitable activities. Group companies sponsored various educational, sports, cultural, environment protection and healthy lifestyle projects, keeping in mind their environmental aspects. Most donations were made in communities where ORLEN Group companies operate, helping foster their relations with those communities as well as other stakeholders. Charitable projects and initiatives enhance the positive image of the entire ORLEN Group, and thus of each its companies, as a CSR Leader.

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, in ORLEN's financial statements, donations and other arrangements with a similar effect are presented as other expenses under the line item 'Provision of services free of charge', which in 2024 amounted to PLN 306,838,714.66

However, as per the donation agreements entered into or performed in 2024, the donations made during the year totalled PLN 178,214,818.00, comprising:

  • − PLN 167,197,752.30 in cash donations,
  • − PLN 9,917,316.17 in in-kind donations,

− PLN 1,099,750.01 in other gratuitous services (humanitarian aid related to the armed conflict in Ukraine). The difference between the amount of charitable giving reported in the financial statements and the figures derived from the donation agreements concluded and/or performed in 2024 arises primarily from differences in the accounting treatment of various donations, including:

  • − the donation to the Polish National Foundation ("PFN"): In this Report, the donation to PFN is presented on a cash basis. However, in 2018 ORLEN recognised a PFN donation expense of PLN 28,000,000.00 on an accrual basis, reflecting a long-term obligation arising from the notarial deed establishing the Foundation. This obligation was recognised upon signing the deed, with payments to be made in subsequent years. Following the merger between ORLEN S.A. and Grupa LOTOS S.A. on 1 August 2022, in 2023 the latter's outstanding obligation to donate funds to the PFN in 2024–2026, totalling PLN 7,500,000.00, was assumed by ORLEN S.A. (the former LOTOS obligation was PLN 2,500,000.00 annually until, and including, 2026). In addition, in 2024, the PGNiG Branch Complex, as the successor to PGNiG, made a payment of PLN 3,500,000.00 to the PFN as provided for in the notarial deed establishing the Foundation. These payments were in included in other expenses.
  • − a donation of PLN 139,653.50 made by Rafineria Gdańska (Rafineria Gdańska is accounted for as a joint operation in ORLEN's financial statements, and consequently we consolidate 70% of its financial line items into ORLEN's results). The External Relations Office does not include donations made by Rafineria Gdańska in its reports because Rafineria Gdańska sp. z o.o. is not required to adhere to the ORLEN Group Charitable Giving Policy Organisational Standard, and therefore it has not adopted this Standard. Consequently, the ORLEN Group Charitable Giving Policy does not apply to donations made by Rafineria Gdańska sp. z o.o., nor does it specify the procedures for reviewing or approving these donations as per the Standard guidelines.
  • − differences between the estimated market value and the carrying amount, including applicable VAT, of donated items, as well as donations of PLN 13,495.11 paid by the PGNiG Branch Complex in satisfaction of commitments made by PGNiG prior to its merger with ORLEN S.A., which were not subject to review by the External Relations Office.
  • − differences between the amounts specified in fuel donation agreements with Provincial Headquarters of the State Fire Service and the actual recorded value of fuel provided to and used by the beneficiaries for flood-related emergency response efforts.

Humanitarian aid related to the armed conflict in Ukraine, amounting to PLN 1,099,750.01, was not budgeted for. These activities were financed under Management Board Resolution No. 7474/22 and Supervisory Board Resolution No. 2771/22, which authorise the Company to cover refugees accommodation and catering costs of up to PLN 5,000,000.00, VAT-exclusive. Neither resolution sets an end-date for the programme.

Free-of-charge distribution of hot beverages by ORLEN service stations to uniformed services across the Provinces of Opole, Wrocław, Katowice, Kraków, and Zielona Góra, which totalled PLN 38,105.11, was allocated to the Retail segment. In addition, the Olefins Production Enhancement Office, as a cost centre, recognised an accrual of PLN 140,612,690.12, representing future obligations.

For ORLEN Group companies other than ORLEN S.A., donations, comprising mainly cash and in-kind donations and other gratuitous transfers, were recognised in other expenses under the line item 'Provision of services free of charge' and totalled PLN 31,064,084.

This amount includes:

  • − PLN 30,353,510.11 in cash donations,
  • − PLN 663,454.73 in in-kind donations, and
  • − PLN 47,119.20 in other gratuitous transfers.

As per the ORLEN S.A. Accounting Office's recommendation, donations to Polska PRESS totalling PLN 670,686.32 were presented under operating expenses (other services) because advertising, sponsorship, and fundraising activities fall within that entity's ordinary course of business. A donation of PLN 3,500,000.00 to the PFN from Energa S.A. has been recognised in the statement of financial position within provisions.

XIV ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ORLEN GROUP COMPANIES, BASED ON ASSESSMENT OF THE GROUP'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The ORLEN Group is pursuing a long-term strategy that responds to global decarbonisation trends and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. One of our most significant challenges remains managing a responsible energy transition, which involves gradually moving away from fossil fuels while ensuring the continued stability of energy supply. Central and Eastern Europe is experiencing dynamic growth, yet sustaining this momentum will require a careful balance between the robust demand for traditional energy sources and the accelerating shift towards decarbonisation.

Another major challenge is the need to secure reliable access to energy and raw materials and diversify supply sources. In light of ongoing geopolitical volatility, we are working to increase the flexibility of our oil and gas supply portfolio. Ensuring energy security and reducing the risk of supply disruptions are critical components of our long-term strategic outlook.

Our strategy focuses on integrating ORLEN Group's existing business segments and building an organisation that, over the next decade, will become more resilient to fluctuations in its business environment. Our strategy is anchored in a pragmatic transformation that addresses key regulatory and business challenges and opportunities, while also being tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of the region. The new ORLEN Group strategy will create an integrated, cohesive and digitally-enabled organisation in which each business line complements the others, enabling us to deliver products and services aligned with customer expectations.

Our sustainability governance efforts have been focused on developing measures to facilitate integration of ESG principles into our management systems, ethical standards and corporate values, as well as robust and transparent reporting practices. Sustainability and the climate change management are embedded in our governance framework and guide our future direction. One of the ways we put this into practice is by linking the remuneration policy at Management Board and executive levels to sustainability targets.

ORLEN is currently rated at investment grade. ORLEN is rated A3 (stable outlook) by Moody's and BBB+ by Fitch, reflecting the Group's strong and stable financial position.

The ORLEN Group's revenue for 2024 amounted to PLN 294,976 million, representing a decrease of PLN (76,940) million year on year. Revenue in the Refining segment declined by PLN (16,893) million year on year, primarily due to a (5)% year-on-year decrease in sales volumes to 31,410 thousand tonnes, as well as lower market prices of the segment's key products, including a (9)% year-on-year decline in gasoline prices, a (10)% decrease in diesel oil and aviation fuel prices, and a (9)% decline in light heating oil prices.

Revenue in the Energy segment also declined, decreasing by PLN (10,039) million year on year, driven by a (12)% year-on-year decline in sales volumes to 28.5 TWh, as well as a (19)% year-on-year decrease in electricity prices quoted on the Polish Power Exchange (TGE).

By contrast, revenue in the Petrochemicals segment increased by PLN 760 million year on year, supported by a 9% year-on-year increase in sales volumes to 4,788 thousand tonnes, as well as higher prices of segment's key products, including a 1% year-on-year increase in ethylene and propylene prices, an 11% rise in benzene prices, a 5% increase in polyethylene prices, and a 3% increase in polypropylene prices. Paraxylene prices declined by (10)% year on year.

In the Retail segment, revenue increased by PLN 4,650 million year on year, driven by an 11% year-on-year increase in fuel sales volumes to 11,308 thousand tonnes.

Revenue in the Upstream segment was PLN 882 million higher year on year, reflecting a 23% year-on-year increase in sales volumes to 25.8 million boe. This growth was primarily attributable to higher hydrocarbon production and sales following the consolidation of volumes from the newly acquired upstream company, KUFPEC Norway AS.

In the Gas segment, revenue declined by PLN (56,087) million year on year despite a 2% year-on-year increase in sales volumes, which reached 303.0 TWh. The decline in revenue was primarily due to lower average selling prices of natural gas year on year.

A significant factor contributing to the decrease in revenue in the Refining, Petrochemicals, and Upstream segments was the appreciation of the Polish zloty against foreign currencies. The PLN/USD and PLN/EUR exchange rates declined by (5)% year on year, to 3.98 PLN/USD and 4.31 PLN/EUR, respectively.

EBITDA recorded by the Group for 2024 was PLN 21,961 million.

The effect of crude oil price movements on the valuation of inventories (LIFO effect), recognised in EBITDA, was PLN (271) million. As a result, the ORLEN Group's LIFO-based EBITDA for 2024 was PLN 22,232 million, down by PLN (24,181) million year on year:

  • Changes in macroeconomic factors reduced the ORLEN Group's results by PLN (32,260) million year on year, primarily reflecting lower year-on-year crack spreads on light and middle distillates, PTA, fertilisers, and PVC. Additionally, in 2023, cash flow hedging transactions had a positive effect, primarily reflecting the discontinuation of hedge accounting for a designated portfolio of hedging instruments related to LNG purchases from Venture Global, resulting in a net positive impact of PLN 7,165 million. Consequently, the absence of this positive effect in 2024 resulted in a negative year-onyear impact from cash flow hedging instruments. These adverse effects were partly offset by higher year-on-year spreads on olefins, polyolefins, and heavy heating oil, as well as the reversal and adjustment of provisions related to CO₂ emissions.
  • The ORLEN Group's total sales volumes in the Refining, Petrochemicals, and Retail segments decreased marginally by (0.1)% year on year, to 47,506 thousand tonnes. Sales in the Energy segment decreased by (12.2)% year on year, to 28.5 TWh. Conversely, in the Upstream segment sales expanded by 23.0% year on year, to 25.8 million boe, while Gas segment volumes rose by 2.3% year on year, to 303.0 TWh. Reflecting these segment-specific sales trends, the combined volume effect totalled PLN 3,257 million year on year.
  • The effect of other factors was PLN 4,822 million year on year, primarily reflecting:
    • PLN 2,698 million recognition of impairment losses on non-current assets in 2024 and 2023, of PLN (13,515) million and PLN (16,213) million, respectively;
    • the absence of the prior-year negative impact related to asset write-offs associated with advances paid by ORLEN Trading Switzerland GmbH for crude oil and petroleum product deliveries, totalling PLN 1,484 million year on year;
    • the positive effect from compensation received for outages at the Gudron Hydrodesulfurisation unit (PLN 854 million) and the Hydrocracking unit (PLN 84 million);
    • the negative effect from the recognition of a restructuring provision at Spolana (Czech Republic), of PLN (417) million;
    • the effect of the final accounting for assets and liabilities of the former PGNiG Group as at the merger date, of PLN (7,298) million year on year;
    • the effect of accounting policy changes applied by the ORLEN Group, amounting to PLN (1,465) million year on year, mainly due to changes in exchange rate differences on trade receivables and payables following the appreciation of the Polish zloty against foreign currencies;
    • the positive year-on-year effect of net realisable value (NRV) adjustments to inventories, of PLN 244 million;
    • other factors amounting to PLN 8,638 million year on year, mainly reflecting positive effects from gas withdrawals from storage accompanied by lower trading margins on high-nitrogen and highmethane gas sales in the Gas segment, improved trading margins in the Refining and Retail segments, partially offset by lower margins in the Petrochemicals segment and higher year-on-year general and administrative expenses and labour costs.

After accounting for depreciation and amortisation of PLN (14,014) million, the ORLEN Group reported EBIT of PLN 7,947 million for 2024.

Net finance costs for the period amounted to PLN (129) million and primarily comprised a net foreign exchange gain of PLN 234 million and net interest expense of PLN (304) million.

After accounting for income tax of PLN (6,236) million, the ORLEN Group's net profit for 2024 amounted to PLN 1,383 million, representing a decrease of PLN (19,586) million year on year.

As at 31 December 2024, total equity amounted to PLN 146,689 million, representing a PLN( 6,731) million decrease compared with the balance as at the end of 2023. The decline was primarily attributable to the payment of a PLN (4,818) million dividend to ORLEN shareholders from retained earnings, and a PLN (3,282) million decrease in other components of equity, mainly due to the impact of changes in the balance of hedging reserves, amounting to PLN (2,258) million, and the impact of foreign exchange differences on translation of equity of foreign operations, amounting to PLN (1,020) million. These factors were partly offset by the recognition of net profit for 2024, of PLN 1,383 million.

In 2024, the ORLEN Group incurred substantial capital expenditures and distributed dividends to its shareholders. Consequently, net cash outflows from investing activities, together with the dividend payment, exceeded net cash generated from operating activities. As a result, the Group financed the resulting shortfall through financing activities, causing the ORLEN Group's net debt as at 31 December 2024 to amount to PLN 7,024 million, representing an increase of PLN 5,217 million compared with the end of 2023.

In 2024, the ORLEN Group's employment policy was focused on recruiting top-tier professionals to support both daily operational activities and strategic project implementation. The expansion of our business operations in areas such as energy, retail, and information technology, combined with the acquisition of Doppler (ORLEN Austria), led to a year-on-year increase in the total head count of employees by 1,255, to 67,809.

ORLEN's revenue for 2024 amounted to PLN 201,353 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of PLN (49,616) million. The lower revenue was primarily attributable to a (16)% year-on-year decrease in the average selling price of natural gas, a (19)% year-on-year decrease in electricity prices quoted on the Polish Power Exchange (TGE), and a decline in prices of key products driven by a (2)% year-on-year fall in crude oil prices. Also contributing to the decline in revenue were lower sales volumes, reflecting a (0.6)% year-onyear decrease in sales volumes (in tonnes) in the Refining and Upstream segments, partly offset by increased volumes in the Petrochemicals, Gas, and Retail segments, and higher year-on-year volumes of natural gas by 17.6 TWh, CNG by 0.2 million m³, and helium by 0.1 million m³.

ORLEN S.A.'s EBITDA in 2024 was PLN 10,014 million.

The effect of oil price movements on inventory measurement (LIFO effect) reflected in EBITDA was PLN (155) million. As a result, ORLEN's LIFO-based EBITDA for 2024 was PLN 10,169 million, down by PLN (20,588) million year on year due to:

  • − changes in macroeconomic factors reduced ORLEN S.A.'s results by PLN (25,777) million year on year, primarily reflecting lower year-on-year crack spreads on light and middle distillates as well as PTA. Additionally, in 2023, cash flow hedging transactions had a positive effect, reflecting the discontinuation of hedge accounting for a designated portfolio of hedging instruments related to LNG purchases from Venture Global, resulting in a net positive impact of PLN 7,165 million. Consequently, the absence of this positive effect in 2024 resulted in a negative year-on-year impact from cash flow hedging instruments. The above negative effects were partly offset by higher year-on-year margins on olefins, polyolefins, and heavy fuel oil, as well as the positive impact of the appreciation of PLN against foreign currencies, mainly seen in the Gas segment, resulting in lower costs of natural gas and LNG purchases.
  • − ORLEN S.A.'s total sales volumes in the Refining, Petrochemicals, and Retail segments decreased slightly by (0.7)% year on year, to 26,142 thousand tonnes. Sales in the Energy segment decreased by (2,9)% year on year, to 6.7 TWh. Conversely, in the Upstream segment sales expanded by 0.2% year on year, to 14.9 million boe, while Gas segment volumes rose by 9.5% year on year, to 207 TWh. Reflecting these sales trends, the combined volume effect amounted to PLN (87) million year on year.
  • − the effect of other factors was PLN (4,053) million year on year, primarily reflecting:
    • the effect of the final accounting for assets and liabilities of the former PGNiG Group as at the merger date, of PLN (12,575) million year on year;
    • PLN 9,329 million recognition of impairment losses on non-current assets in 2024 and 2023, of PLN (5,196) million and PLN (14,525) million, respectively.
    • the negative impact of a higher year-on-year contribution to the Price Difference Compensation Fund of PLN (1,261) million;
    • the effect of accounting policy changes applied by ORLEN, amounting to PLN (1,218) million year on year, mainly due to changes in exchange rate differences on trade receivables and payables following the appreciation of PLN against foreign currencies;
    • the positive effect from compensation received for outages at the Gudron Hydrodesulfurisation unit (PLN 854 million) and the Hydrocracking unit (PLN 84 million);
    • other factors amounting to PLN 10,063 million year on year, mainly reflecting positive effects from gas withdrawals from storage accompanied by lower trading margins on high-nitrogen and highmethane gas sales in the Gas segment, improved trading margins in the Refining and Retail segments, partially offset by lower margins in the Petrochemicals segment and higher year-on-year general and administrative expenses and labour costs.

After depreciation and amortisation of PLN (4,364) million, EBIT for 2024 amounted to PLN 5,650 million.

Net finance costs in the reporting period amounted to PLN (1,322) million and mainly comprised impairment losses recognised on shares in subsidiaries of PLN (5,974) million, dividends received of PLN 2,535 million, total interest income of PLN 1,751 million, and net foreign exchange gains of PLN 154 million.

After a tax expense of PLN (1,785) million, ORLEN posted a net profit of PLN 3,944 million for 2024, marking a decrease of PLN (17,272) million year on year.

Net debt as at 31 December 2024 was PLN 13,065 million. The change in net financial debt primarily reflected a decrease in the cash balance of PLN (1,486) million and net outflows of PLN 1,777 million, comprising proceeds from and repayments of credit facilities, non-bank borrowings and bonds.

At ORLEN S.A., the employment policy, likewise centred on ensuring access to high-calibre professionals to support both daily operations and strategic projects across all business domains, led to an increase in the total head count by 579, reaching a year-end total of 13,361 employees (this figure includes personnel employed directly by ORLEN S.A. as well as employees taken on in 2022 following the acquisitions of the former LOTOS Group, the PGNiG Group, and 70 per cent of Rafineria Gdańska).

  • PLN (322) million adverse effect of lower electricity output from the Ostrołęka Power Plant;
  • PLN (386) million effect of impairment losses, including mainly a PLN (398) million charge recognised in 2024;
  • PLN 859 million combined effect of other factors, including primarily the absence of the 2023 net contributions to the Price Difference Compensation Fund of PLN 1,219 million, partially offset by higher transmission fees and labour costs.

EBITDA in 2024 reached PLN (1,860) million. The effect of crude oil price movements on the valuation of inventories (LIFO effect), recognised in EBITDA, was PLN 19 million. As a result, the Unipetrol Group's LIFO-based EBITDA for 2024 decreased by PLN (4,521) million year on year, to PLN (1,879) million. This movement included:

• PLN (1,789) million – negative effect of macroeconomic parameters, including mainly adverse effects of the price differentials on the crude grades processed and lower margins on light and medium distillates, fertilizers, and PVC, as well as the negative effect of settlement and measurement of financial instruments, partly offset by lower CO2 emission prices;

  • PLN (1,114) million negative volume effect, mainly attributable to a reduction in the throughput of Rebco crude from 4.2 million tonnes to 2.7 million tonnes and its replacement with more expensive grades. In addition, a significant impact came from lower availability of products from the Group's own production due to the scheduled shutdown of the Litvinov refinery and its stoppage in late August and early September 2024 following the discovery of an unexploded bomb at the site;
  • PLN (1,497) million effect of impairment losses, including mainly a PLN (1,532) million charged recognised in 2024;
  • PLN (121) million combined effect of other factors, including mainly a restructuring provision recognised at Spolana (Czech Republic) of PLN (417) million and lower trading margins. These negative effects were partially offset by net inventory write-backs (NRVs), utilisation of older inventory layers, and lower overheads and labour costs.

After depreciation and amortisation expense of PLN (1,105) million, EBIT came in at PLN (2,965) million in 2024.

In 2024, net finance income was PLN 60 million. After tax expense of PLN (158) million, net loss for 2024 was PLN (2,746) million, compared with a net profit of PLN 1,007 million in 2023.

Property not used in day-to-day operations of ORLEN S.A. (such as land, including land on which closeddown service stations are located, non-operational service stations, petroleum product plants and storage depots) is regularly reviewed in terms of its possible sale or lease, or use for the purposes of planned investment/reactivation projects. Property which, following an internal analysis within the Company, are recognised as unsuitable for the Company's needs, are assigned for disposal.

As at 31 December 2024, ORLEN S.A. held 359 properties not used in day-to-day operations, with a total carrying amount of PLN 338.36 million, which are not planned to be used. 110 of these properties, with a total carrying amount of PLN 30.31 million and with a total market value of PLN 55.40 million, were held for sale, and 22, with a total annual asking rental value of PLN 1.15 million, were held for lease.

In 2024, four properties with a net carrying amount of PLN 0.18 million were sold for PLN 0.58 million (VAT exclusive). In addition, following the adoption of a relevant resolution by the Company's General Meeting, items of property, plant and equipment were contributed (in-kind contribution) to Polska Spółka Gazownictwa Sp. z o.o., which comprised transmission infrastructure equipment, i.e. 15 gas pipelines together with accompanying gas grid facilities, and properties situated in the Provinces of Kraków, Rzeszów, Zielona Góra, Łódź, Szczecin, and Poznań, with a carrying amount of PLN 57.65 million, for a net consideration of PLN 196.71 million. Following the issue of administrative decisions permitting the execution of road construction projects, the Company forfeited legal titles to 13 properties through expropriation in favour of the State Treasury.

Properties or parts thereof that are not used in the Company's day-to-day operations may be leased. At yearend 2024, there were 411 property lease contracts in effect.

At ORLEN S.A., 1,217 items of non-current assets (including plant and equipment) which are not used by the Company in its day-to-day operations and are not planned to be used in the future have been identified for potential disposal, decommissioning, or lease.

The Supervisory Board positively assesses the extent and reasonableness of the use of the Company's noncurrent assets in its operations, including the management of properties that are no longer in use.
