Today, Orlen Group presented its results for the first three quarters of 2025, boasting a year-on-year profit increase of 5 billion PLN. “Instead of focusing on management, you just spend a ton of money on audits and attacks. Gravediggers of the Polish champion,” commented the former CEO of the company, Daniel Obajtek. He compared the 2025 results with those from 2023.
“After accounting for tax burdens of 5 billion 38 million PLN, Orlen Group’s net profit reached 8 billion 94 million PLN, which is 5 billion 82 million PLN higher year-on-year,” the company reported in its stock exchange statement after three quarters of this year.
Data published by Orlen in its consolidated report shows that in the third quarter of this year, the company’s net profit amounted to 2 billion 162 million PLN.
In a press release, the company also stated that in the third quarter of this year, Orlen Group generated revenues of 61 billion PLN, EBITDA LIFO reached 8.9 billion PLN – nearly 30 billion PLN after nine months – while cash flow from operating activities reached 8.2 billion PLN.
“The very strong third-quarter results confirm that we are resilient and robust even in a more challenging environment. Since the beginning of the year, our market value has risen by over 110%, making us the fastest-growing company in Europe and the second-fastest in the world among fuel and energy companies in the Global Fortune 500,” said Orlen CEO Ireneusz Fąfara, cited in the company’s press release.
The former CEO of the company, now an MEP, Daniel Obajtek, responded to Orlen’s results on social media.
“Instead of focusing on management, you just spend a ton of money on audits and attacks. Gravediggers of the Polish champion,” Obajtek wrote.
He compared the 2025 results with those from 2023, noting that in every category, profits and revenues are currently lower. Orlen responded that “fuel prices are the lowest in three years” and that “the company’s value has increased by around 45 billion PLN since Obajtek left.”
“You are deaf to arguments. There wouldn’t be such value without the merger of Orlen with Energa, Lotos, and PGNiG. You also paid a record dividend, higher than bank interest. Fuel prices at stations? The dollar exchange rate is now 3.67, crude oil is 62 dollars per barrel, so prices should be much lower than what we see at stations. Even the head of MAP recently made changes to the supervisory board because he admitted that nothing happens at Orlen,” Obajtek countered.
