The Board of Directors of Stara Planina Hold Plc announces an address to the shareholders and investors of the holding and the companies in the Group informing on its anticipations for 2024. For 2023 we anticipate sales of the companies in the Group to reached BGN 374 million which is at the level of the previous year and a growth by approximately 34 % compared to sales in 2021. The 2023 net profit of Stara Planina Hold Plc will exceed BGN 9.2 million which gives us confidence that for the 27th consecutive year part of the profit will be distributed in the form of dividends to the shareholders of the holding.

Investments of our companies BGN 35.5 million, with a 37 % growth on an annual basis, mainly focused on improving the product range, introduction of highly profitable products and productions, acquisition of businesses and assets, innovations for the green and digital transition, increasing labor productivity and sustainable development. In 2024, in the context of the great uncertainty on national and global level, we plan to reduce investments by 23 % to BGN 27.3 million, again to be aimed at modernization and sustainable technological renewal, green and digital transition and sustainable development.

Productivity increased by 26.5 % this year and the average annual growth of labor remunerations reached 23.5 %. In 2024 we foresee to reduce the number of employees by approximately 5 % with an expected decline in labor productivity by 7% and preserving the average monthly salary.
