The state-owned joint-stock company “Ukragroleasing” (Kyiv), which is in the process of large-scale privatization, reported a net profit of UAH 2.11 million for 2025, compared to UAH 1.99 million in 2024, according to the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC).
According to the issuer’s annual report, the financial plan for net profit was fulfilled at 107.3%. Net revenue from sales of products (goods, works, services) for the reporting period decreased by 12.9% compared to 2024—to UAH 185.61 million. Net profit per common share for the year amounted to UAH 0.18, compared to UAH 0.17 a year earlier.
The report notes that the company’s operations in 2025 took place amid challenging conditions in the financial services market, driven by macroeconomic instability, inflationary pressures, and the effects of martial law. Ukragroleasing’s financial results were affected by limited opportunities to increase revenue from interest and commissions amid fluctuations in bank rates. Martial law conditions also led to a deterioration in the financial condition of enterprises and a decline in their purchasing power.
The company is implementing a set of measures to strengthen financial stability. In particular, in agreement with the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture and the State Property Fund of Ukraine, revenue from property rentals was increased: in 2025, it grew 2.3 times compared to the planned figures—to UAH 8.08 million against a plan of UAH 3.51 million.
The value of Ukragroleasing’s assets as of the end of 2025 increased by 3.1%—to UAH 444.26 million compared to UAH 430.7 million at the beginning of the year. The company’s non-current assets increased by 4.5% over the year, from UAH 223.04 million to UAH 233.02 million, while current assets rose by 1.3%, from UAH 207.66 million to UAH 210.36 million. The company’s equity as of December 31, 2025, increased by 0.1% to UAH 409.52 million, compared to UAH 408.96 million a year earlier, with registered capital remaining unchanged at UAH 1.17 billion.
The company’s current liabilities increased by 46.8% during 2025—from UAH 21.74 million to UAH 31.92 million—and long-term liabilities of UAH 2.82 million appeared, which were absent a year earlier.
The report notes that “Ukragroleasing” continues to operate without drawing funds from the state budget. In 2024, the company joined the government program “Affordable Financial Leasing 5-7-9,” under which it transferred equipment worth UAH 73.83 million to farmers in 2025.
As reported, the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), which acts as the sole general meeting of NAK “Ukragroleasing,” required the company to allocate 80% of its profit to dividend payments based on the results of its financial and operational activities in 2024. The total amount of annual dividends for 2024 was approved at UAH 1.59 million.
“Ukragroleasing” was founded in 1999. It provides financial leasing of agricultural machinery and equipment at 7% per annum for a term of five to seven years. The NJSC comprises maintenance enterprises, logistics and supply units, and machine and technical stations.
The sole owner of the company is the state, represented by the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU). The company has 25 separate branches. By Order of the SPFU No. 775 dated June 8, 2018, a decision was made to privatize 100% of the company’s shares.
