Another Polish steel firm eyes stock exchange delisting

Polish pipemaker Ferrum has applied to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for approval to delist from the Warsaw Stock Exchange, Kallanish notes.

The firm, listed since 1997, did not provide a reason for the move.

In the first half of 2024 it saw own-produced pipe sales fall 12% on-year to 41,900 tonnes. However, overall product sales, including traded products, rose 5,000t to 54,800t. Revenue at sell fabricator subsidiary ZKS Ferrum surged 81% to PLN 59.5 million ($14.8m).

Consolidated H1 revenue rose 15% to PLN 356.6m but net loss deepened almost five-fold to PLN 1.9m.

Bydgoszcz-based steel distributor Drozapol-Profil also applied for approval to delist earlier this month. Major Polish distributor Konsorcjum Stali delisted in 2020.
