Russian developer PIK announced its 2010 results, with revenues down by 7.5 percent year on year to 38 billion ($1.25 million) and earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization still in the negative zone at 800 million rubles.
Net loss amounted to 3 billion rubles. Negative EBITDA and net income were due to low construction activity in 2009 and a consequent fall in completions in 2010. New sales contracts rose by 219 percent to 392,000 square meters in 2010, and average real estate price increases in Moscow and Moscow region of 12.9 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively, it said late last week.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
