Stara Planina Hold Plc announced a Public Notice on the Financial Standing for the third quarter of 2026.
Preliminary aggregated data indicate that consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2025 will exceed EUR 38 million, representing growth of over 13 % compared with the same period of the previous year and over 21 % compared with the third quarter of 2024.
We expect sales in the final quarter of 2026 to exceed EUR 37 million and are raising our forecast for the second half of 2026, with consolidated revenue expected to reach EUR 75.8 million, representing growth of around 10% compared with the same period of 2025 and approximately 20% compared with the second half of 2024. At this stage, we maintain our expectation that the trend towards higher sales levels will continue in the final quarter of the year, with sales for 2026 expected to exceed EUR 152 million.
The net profit of Stara Planina Hold Plc as of 30.09.2026 reached EUR 3 035 thousand, which represents an increase of 5.53 % compared to the reported net profit of EUR 2 876 thousand for the same period of the previous year and a decrease of 14.31 % compared to the net profit for the nine months of 2024.
The factors that will continue to affect operations during the final quarter of 2026 include market prices of raw materials and production inputs, transportation of supplies, regional labour market costs, energy prices and security of energy supply. As at the end of the first nine months of 2026, the military conflict between the US/Israel and Iran, which began in late February, continues to pose significant risks to the global economy. Restricted energy supplies from the Middle East, disruptions to maritime transport and higher transportation and insurance costs are intensifying pressure on production costs and inflation.
