In January-September 2021 the total revenues of urohold reached BGN 1.78 billion, up by 49% compared to the same period in 2020. The energy companies generated 18.4% of the total revenues of the group for the period, as their full contribution would be evident next year.

"The integration of the newly acquired energy companies is successful and our results in this business segment will further grow. Other business segments are also developing well.
