Real estate company Etalon Group boosted its 2013 revenue by 48 percent to 39.9 billion rubles ($1.1 billion) and reported profit up 33 percent at 6.6 billion rubles according to international accounting standards, the company said last week.
Etalon's competitor, LSR, which also released its financial statements last week, generated revenue of 65.3 billion rubles last year — up 6 percent from 2012 — and upped its profits by 8 percent to 5.3 billion rubles, the company said.
Another major homebuilder, PIK, plans to publish its financial results in April.
Etalon's results greatly exceeded expectations and are certain to be the best in the sector, Kseniya Arutyunova, senior analyst at investment firm Rye, Man & Gor Securities told Vedomosti.
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.
