“In the second quarter of 2025, the freight base of railway logistics in Ukraine tended to decline, which in turn had a negative impact on the demand for newly built freight cars,” the report says.
TAS Dniprovagomash’s share in the total production of freight cars in Ukraine at the end of the second quarter was 46% (in the first quarter – 25.8%), and its main competitors remain the Kryukiv Railway Car Building Works, the Karpaty Research and Mechanical Engineering Plant, and Ukrzaliznytsia enterprises.

Ukrproduct Group, a major Ukrainian producer of packaged butter and processed cheese, reported a net loss of GBP 2.04 million for 2024, compared with a net profit of GBP 0.39 million in 2023.
“Financial expenses in 2024 increased by 253% compared to the previous year to GBP 2.8 million, which was caused by significant accruals of commission for deferral on a loan from the EBRD, applied retrospectively for the period from October 2016 to December 2024,” the company explained in its annual report on the London Stock Exchange.
According to the report, in December 2024, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) decided to exercise its right under the loan agreement and charged a commission of GBP 2.0 million, increasing the company’s liability to the bank to GBP 8.1 million.
The group’s gross profit for the past year increased by 3.9% to GBP7.12 million, while operating profit fell by 36.6% to GBP1.08 million, and EBITDA by 29% to GBP1.7 million.
As for Ukrproduct’s revenue, it grew by 13% in hryvnia over the past year, while in British pounds sterling, the increase was only 0.2% to GBP37.08 million.
“The processed cheese segment generated revenue of GBP 21.2 million in 2024, down 15% from the previous year. This was largely due to a reduction in price promotions at the national level due to rapid cost increases caused by sharp fluctuations in the dairy raw materials market and the risk of loss-making sales,” the company explained.
According to the report, the butter segment achieved revenue of GBP 5.2 million in 2024, compared to GBP 3.1 million in the previous year. This 70% growth was primarily driven by increased production following a period of slight stagnation, with the market becoming receptive to higher supply.
Sales of spreads fell by 12% to GBP 4.0 million, reflecting increased competition in the market and changing consumer preferences.
Ukrproduct recalled that in the fourth quarter of 2023, it expanded its range of products with a longer shelf life to include a new category of sandwich spreads, which showed profitable growth: sales in 2024 amounted to GBP 1.2 million.
Sales of skimmed milk powder increased by 8% last year to GBP 1.4 million, but declined by 23% in volume terms. It is noted that prices for skimmed milk powder had only limited upside potential in 2024, and the group minimized the release of this product for sale in favor of using semi-finished milk protein as an ingredient in the production of processed cheese.
Sales of kvass and other beverages increased by 31% year-on-year to GBP 2.3 million in 2024, thanks to positive kombucha sales dynamics, supported by new product launches and strong brand positioning.
Ukrproduct noted that administrative and commercial expenses in 2024 increased by 4% year-on-year to GBP4.2 million.
This increase was mainly due to higher payroll and related expenses, as well as higher insurance and consulting expenses. Other operating expenses increased to GBP 1.8 million in 2024 compared to GBP 1.1 million in the previous year.
In light of the expected deterioration in the business outlook and increased future risks, the group recognized a net impairment loss of GBP 1.1 million on financial assets, reflecting provisions made for receivables and prepayments to suppliers. In addition, this line includes a write-off of goods in the amount of GBP 0.1 million and a provision of GBP 0.4 million for blocked VAT invoices.
Ukrproduct’s net assets as of December 31, 2024, amounted to GBP 2.0 million, down from GBP 4.5 million a year earlier, while cash balances decreased to GBP 0.1 million.
According to the agricultural holding, it has been in dialogue with the EBRD since 2021 regarding the potential restructuring of the loan and accrued interest and fees, and discussions are ongoing. At present, the EBRD has not taken any action to accelerate the repayment of the accumulated loan.
Assessing its prospects for 2025, Ukrproduct assumes that the business environment will remain unstable due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and financial pressure.
“The Group will continue to pursue a prudent capital allocation policy, prioritize liquidity preservation, seek new financing opportunities, and focus on meeting its existing commitments.

Ukrposhta JSC increased its revenue by 12.1% in 2024 compared to 2023 to UAH 12.9 billion and reduced its loss by 1.9 times to UAH 413.2 million, the company’s press service reported, citing the company’s financial statements confirmed by an independent international auditor.
“Despite the difficult wartime conditions, the national postal operator continues to increase revenue and demonstrates positive financial results in 2024. According to the company’s financial statements, confirmed by an independent international auditor, in 2024 Ukrposhta received UAH 12.9 billion in revenue, which is UAH 1.3 billion, or 12.1%, more than in 2023,” Ukrposhta’s press service said on Monday.
The growth of the company’s financial performance at the level of 12% has been recorded for the second year in a row: in 2023, the company’s revenue also increased by 12% compared to 2022 and amounted to UAH 11.6 billion, the Ukrposhta press service emphasized.
In 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrposhta received positive EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). The figure reached UAH 659.3 million. In 2023, Ukrposhta had an excellent EBITDA (-22.9 million UAH), and in 2022 (-462.8 million UAH), the company said in a statement.
“Despite the stable dynamics of revenue growth, Ukrposhta still has a net loss. However, it has almost halved – by UAH 383.2 million compared to 2023 – and now amounts to UAH 413.2 million. The main factors behind the loss were currency fluctuations (UAH 246.9 million) and the cost of maintaining property whose sale was legally blocked (UAH 43.2 million),” Ukrposhta’s press service said.
Capital investments in 2024 amounted to UAH 695.7 million.
It is noted that the key drivers of the company’s growth in 2024 were income from international postal exchange – +45%; payment acceptance – +28.3%; expedited international EMS delivery – +26.6%; international shipments (small packages) – +25.5%; parcels – +10.8%.
“On paper, Ukrposhta is still unprofitable, but an international audit has already confirmed that our EBITDA is positive. That is, the company is actually in the black operationally, and the losses we record are servicing loan obligations in foreign currency, which grow in proportion to the depreciation of the national currency, and lost income from the planned sale of property. Part of the losses is the constant destruction of our infrastructure (branches, vehicles), given that Ukrposhta operates along the entire front line, where there are no other companies,” Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smelyansky said, as quoted by the press service.
Smelyansky assured that Ukrposhta will continue reforms and investments in new facilities.
Ukrposhta emphasized that the company currently has no arrears in payments to budgets and state trust funds. In total, in 2024, the company paid UAH 3.1 billion in taxes, fees and mandatory payments, which is UAH 124.0 million more than in 2023.
Earlier it was reported that in the fourth quarter of 2024, Ukrposhta JSC increased its net income by 11.5% compared to last year to UAH 3.59 billion, having received a net profit of UAH 97.7 million for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
