At the same time, products (spare parts, consumer goods) worth UAH 63.6 million (45.1% of sales) were exported, in particular to Georgia, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan.
The company emphasized that its production activities are linked to the implementation of state programs for the construction and operation of motorways, which have now been curtailed, negatively affecting production and sales volumes.
In 2025, Kredmash mastered the production of new products, in particular, it developed and supplied the customer with key equipment for the technology of processing lead-acid battery waste — a melting drum and a burner unit for melting lead.
In addition, the plant supplied customers with equipment for drying sand and mineral materials, equipment for winter road maintenance (dumps and sand spreaders with a capacity of 9 and 7 cubic meters), and in December began shipping the KDM2067 asphalt mixing plant to a customer in the Mykolaiv region.
As reported, in pre-war 2021, the plant sold products worth UAH 1.2 billion. In June 2022, as a result of hostile rocket attacks on Kremenchuk, the plant’s industrial facilities were partially destroyed.
Yeristovsky Mining and Processing Plant LLC (YMPP, Gorishni Plavni, Poltava region), which is part of the Ferrexpo mining company owned by majority shareholder Kostyantyn Zhevago, incurred losses of UAH 879 million in January-September. Gorishni Plavni, Poltava region), which is part of the mining company Ferrexpo, majority shareholder of Kostyantyn Zhevago, incurred a net loss of UAH 879.341 million in January-September this year, while in the same period last year it had a profit of UAH 514.369 million.
According to the company’s interim report, which is available to Interfax-Ukraine, revenue for this period decreased by 45.3% to UAH 8 billion 124.766 million.
Undistributed profit at the end of September amounted to UAH 171.842 million.
In 2024, the LLC received a net profit of UAH 1 billion 84.107 million, compared to UAH 1 billion 832.538 million in 2023.
Yeristovsky GZK LLC mines high- and low-grade iron ore. The LLC was registered on July 14, 2008. As of December 31, 2024, the company had 1,797 employees (in 2023, 1,789 employees).
According to the annual report, as of December 31, 2024, Ferrexpo AG (Switzerland) owns 99.999% of YGOK LLC, and Ferrexpo Service LLC (Ukraine) owns 0.001%.
It is noted that Ferrexpo AG, which is 100% owned by Ferrexpo plc (the ultimate parent company), exercises control over Ferrexpo Service LLC. A stake of less than 50% in Ferrexpo plc is ultimately held by Minso Trust, whose beneficiaries are Konstantin Zhevago and his immediate family, and which was created to manage the stake in the Ferrexpo group of companies.
The authorized capital of YEGOK LLC is UAH 8 billion 263.698 million.
The report also states that on February 12, 2025, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine adopted a decision, which later came into force with Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 on the introduction of personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) against certain individuals, including Zhevago. Although the sanctions were not imposed on the company, personal sanctions against Zhevago may have an indirect impact on the company’s activities, in particular the refusal to refund VAT, which may also affect the company’s ability to continue its activities on an ongoing basis.
It is likely that Ferrexpo’s subsidiaries in Ukraine will not receive any budgetary VAT refunds until the sanctions against Zhevago are lifted. The company has therefore adjusted its long-term model to reflect lower cash flow generation caused by the potential absence of VAT refunds and, as a result, reduced levels of rock excavation services, production and sales, which in turn will negatively affect the carrying value of the company’s assets in future periods, the report states.
It is also noted that on March 4, 2025, the State Bureau of Investigations of Ukraine made a statement to the media that the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv had granted the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine to transfer 49.5% of the corporate rights of Poltava Mining and Processing Plant PJSC, owned by Ferrexpo AG, to the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Managing Assets (ARMA). The statement also mentions the transfer of corporate rights to ARMA in 15 undisclosed legal entities. This transfer is related to the ongoing court case against Zhevago involving the Finance and Credit Bank.
“The company’s management understands that Ferrexpo AG remains the 100% owner of the company and does not expect the transfer of 49.5% of corporate rights to ARMA to affect the company’s ability to continue its operations on a continuous basis. Asset management is carried out on the basis of a management agreement concluded between ARMA and the selected manager,” the report says.
In addition, it is stated that the updated baseline scenario of the long-term financial model, which assesses the adequacy of the company’s liquidity and projected cash flows to continue as a going concern for 12 months after the date of approval of these financial statements, provides, in particular, for a production plan that takes into account the limited capacity for production and sales of finished products in 2025-2026. At the same time, the volume of finished product production in the 2025-2026 financial years will be approximately 40-50% of the pre-war level, with an expected recovery to almost pre-war levels in 2027, with only one of the four production lines of the rolling mill of the crushing and enrichment plant of Poltava GOK operating simultaneously.
