The value of the package retained by the founders of Dedeman is RON 33.37 million (EUR 6.54 million).<\/p>\n<p>This is the first share sale signed by Pav\u0103l Holding in this company after they became shareholders in 2018, according <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zf.ro\/burse-fonduri-mutuale\/surpriza-la-bursa-fratii-paval-de-la-dedeman-reduc-pentru-prima-data-23021693\">Ziarul Financiar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During this interval, the Pav\u0103l brothers\u2019 investment vehicle collected dividends. Conpet granted last year an aggregate dividend of RON 6.76\/share, the largest dividend at the BVB, representing roughly 7%. The amount came to RON 4.34 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pav\u0103l Holding is not the only important seller. Also reducing its stake below the 5% reporting threshold was Lion Capital (BVB: LION).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Romania\u2019s Energy Ministry holds a 58.7% stake in Conpet.<\/p>\n<p>In the first 3 quarters of 2025, Conpet registered a net turnover of RON 422.06 million, up by 5.05% compared to RON 401.77 million in the similar period last year, and at the same time increased its pre-tax EBITDA earnings by 11.36%, to RON 113.96 million, from RON 102.33 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this time, the company registered revenues of RON 476.10 million, 4.15% higher than the RON 457.12 million in the previous financial year. This is a performance achieved despite a decline of 5.38% in the quantities of oil transported, which amounted to 5.06 million tons.<\/p>\n<p>In the same reporting interval, operating expenses advanced by 2.79%, to RON 425.36 million, from RON 413.81 million.
