In the second half of April, the consortium of companies from Apator Group and Phoenix Systems concluded an agreement with Energa Operator for the sale and delivery of 7000 pieces of Concentrator-Balancing Sets. The devices, which are the foundation of the Smart Grid ecosystem of Energa Operator, will be delivered to Gdańsk, Kalisz, Koszalin, Olsztyn, Płock and Toruń. As a part of the consortium, Apator SA and Apator Telemetria will be responsible for manufacturing and design of the devices, whereas Phoenix Systems from Atende Group will be responsible for delivery of the device software based on Phoenix-RTOS – an open, scalable operating system for the Internet of Things.

As of the end of 2020, Atende Group generated very good financial results, which are much better than in the previous year. To a large extent, such a good result is connected with one-time events, in particular the sale of shares in the subsidiary – Atende Software. However, even excluding the impact of one-time events, there was a significant improvement in the performance of both the dominant company and the Corporate Group as a whole. In total, including one-time events, PLN 38.2 million of net profit was generated in 2020 in the consolidated account (an increase of 215% y/y), and PLN 50.4 million of net profit was generated in the separate account (an increase of 259%) in 2020. On the other hand, excluding the impact of one-time events, Atende Group has improved its performance from PLN 12.4 million of pre-tax profit in 2019 to PLN 17.6 million in 2020 (an increase of 42%), while the parent company has noted an increase in pre-tax profit from PLN 5.2 million to PLN 8.9 million (an increase of 71% y/y).
