Chairman-CEO Zsolt Hernádi commented:

"MOL Group's financial results once again demonstrated the effectiveness of our resilient business model. While coping with the challenges of the external environment, we were able to deliver solid results. Our stability is key to strengthen Central- and Eastern Europe's security of supply and delivery of strategic investments, like the soon-to-be-inaugurated EUR 1.3 bn polyol complex.

In March, we outlined an ambitious investment agenda in our updated strategy to increase the competitiveness of MOL as well as the industry in CEE. Despite the extra heavy government levies weighed on our performance, we remain committed to continue our energy transition journey and develop our selfsufficiency further on."
