- continuedstrong demand for soda ash and purified soda, allowing to reflect theincrease in the cost of raw materials,

- the firstpositive effects of the initiatives undertaken in the field of energytransformation and optimization of production processes and

- thepossibility of maintaining the EBITDA(Z) margin y/y in the fourthquarter on soda products due to adequate hedging of the prices of themain production raw materials.?continuation of the good results achieved in the previous quarters inthe silicates segment and better-than-expected commercialization of new,energy-saving production capacities and the use of pricing formulas tohedge prices in the face of rising raw material costs, which shouldresult in a significantly higher EBITDA(E) margin (y/y) in the fourthquarter.

The achievementof the forecast will be monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis.
