K+S does not make use of energy defense shield

"We have acted with great foresight and have already secured almost all of our natural gas requirements for the upcoming year in terms of price," said K+S Board of Executive Directors Chairman Dr. Burkhard Lohr, explaining the decision. "This will preserve our full ability to pay dividends," Lohr continued.
With an average natural gas price of 5 cents/KWh for the volumes fixed by K+S for 2023 (90% of K+S's natural gas requirements in Europe), the Company has a high degree of predictability regarding energy costs. Furthermore, K+S covers large quantities of its electricity requirements from its own production.
