“The general meeting of shareholders of Naftotransservice LLC decided to pay dividends for 2020, 2021, 2022 – a total of about UAH 6.3 million. As for Security LLC, it is almost UAH 14 million for the same period plus for the first nine months of 2023,” the company said, citing Serhiy Koretsky, Ukrnafta’s CEO.
Thus, the total revenue exceeded UAH 20 million.
The next dividend payment for 2023 is expected in February 2024 from both companies.
“These are the first funds from the results of their operations since 2020,” the company emphasized.
