Asseco is again the highest ranked Polish IT company in the TOP 500 CEE ranking prepared by Coface. At the same time, the company moved up 15 places in comparison to last year's ranking and 34 places in comparison to the edition from two years ago. The company's high position was ensured by its intensive development which translated into PLN 12.2 billion in sales and over PLN 1.2 billion in operating profit.

2020 was a very good year for Asseco. Despite high uncertainty on the market, we managed to improve our performance, reinforcing our position across all segments and business sectors. Acceleration of digitization processes in companies and institutions made us focus on providing the best possible support to our customers in the face of the pandemic,­ said Adam Góral, President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

The ranking was published by the Rzeczpospolita daily, which is a media partner of the publication.

Asseco has been ranked second in the category of software vendors in the "Top Brand 2021" ranking prepared by the Press magazine and Press Service media monitoring. Thereby, the company is included in the group of 500 strongest brands on the Polish market.

The ranking presents the strength of a brand, which is determined, among other things, by the number of publications that have appeared about it and their tone. Asseco stands out in this category primarily thanks to the highest sentiment index, i.e. positive tone of publications.

This is yet another list in which the Asseco brand has been recognized. This year, the company was ranked #1 in the list of the most valuable Polish brands in the ICT and new technologies sector, prepared by the editors of the Rzeczpospolita daily. In addition, the company was listed in the "Europe 500 - The most valuable and strongest European brands" ranking prepared by Brand Finance. Asseco is the only Polish technology brand in this group.

The editors of money.pl portal awarded Zbigniew Jagiełło with the prize for the Person of the Year. It is awarded to the most innovative people who look at the business in an un-schematic, open and modern way, setting its trends. The laureate, who for 12 years served as the President of PKO BP bank, is currently a member of the Supervisory Board of Asseco International.

Zbigniew Jagiełło was responsible for the organizational and technological metamorphosis of the largest Polish bank. During this time, the company's assets grew from PLN 170 billion to PLN 384.25 billion. At the same time, in 2019 PKO BP became the best valued company on the Polish stock exchange, reaching the capitalisation of PLN 56 billion.

I consider Zbigniew Jagiełło to be one of the most outstanding Polish banking managers. As a leader, together with his team he made PKO BP one of the best European banks today, both in terms of quality of its offering and technological level - said Adam Góral, President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

In July this year, Zbigniew Jagiełło joined the team of Asseco, which is the leader in digitization in Poland* and the largest IT company in Central and Eastern Europe. He became a member of the Supervisory Board of Asseco International which is responsible for the Group's development on the European market.

Asseco was ranked 11th in the "100 largest Polish private companies" list prepared by the Forbes magazine. The company, whose revenues in 2020 exceeded PLN 12 billion, owes its success, among other things, to its consistent acquisition policy, which enabled it to build a business of global scale.

As one of the key acquisitions that Asseco made in foreign markets in 2010, the editors pointed to the acquisition of the Israeli Formula Systems group for PLN 420 million. In total, the largest IT company in the CEE region has made more than 110 of them.

Our key focus is invariably on selling our proprietary software and providing related services, as well as increasing the scale of our business through further acquisitions. Last year we were joined by 15 new companies, which allowed us to strengthen our position in foreign markets, said Adam Góral, President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

The place on the list of "100 largest Polish private companies" was determined by the value of the company, which in the case of Asseco was set at nearly PLN 7.5 billion.

Gazeta Giełdy Parkiet published the Martis Consulting report "Valuation of Polish Managers". Among the most valuable presidents of the stock exchange companies was Adam Góral, CEO of Asseco Poland, who took 14th position.

The ranking took into account various factors affecting the valuation of managers, such as share price dynamics, EBITDA growth rate and managerial competence. The founder of Asseco was also ranked high - 4th - in the subranking "Managerial competence", which took into account prizes and distinctions won, as well as observations and assessments made by the authors of the ranking.

The heads of the companies which found themselves on the podium of the list are: Marcin Chludziński KGHM, Marek Piechocki LPP and Daniel Obajtek PKN Orlen.
