Electricity firm EuroSibEnergo has decided against an initial public offering this year due to weak markets, company owner Oleg Deripaska said.
"There won't be an IPO this year. We will wait until the market conditions become more favorable," Deripaska said in comments cleared for Tuesday publication.
EuroSibEnergo will not pay dividends for 2011's results since the company posted net losses according to Russian accounting standards for last year, the company said separately. However, according to international financial reporting standards, the company boosted net profit 55.2 percent to 13.85 billion rubles ($430 million) in 2011.

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.
