Executive summary
Faced a challenging year with industry freight rail turnover and volumes down 4.3% and 4.2% year-over-year in 2024, driven by operational challenges and oversupply of railcars.
Gondola segment, representing 68% of the fleet, saw intensified competition and shrinking cargo base, with bulk volumes down 6.9% year-over-year.
Regulatory risks, including potential shortening of gondola car useful life, could lead to significant fleet retirements and increased costs.
Completed major corporate actions: GDR tender offers, delistings from MOEX, SPBE, LSE, re-domiciliation to Abu Dhabi, and dividend policy termination.
Financial highlights
Revenue rose to RUB 108.7bn in 2024 from RUB 104.7bn in 2023; gross profit increased to RUB 50.7bn from RUB 46.8bn year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to RUB 53.9bn; Adjusted Revenue up 6% to RUB 92.7bn.
Net income attributable to owners reached RUB 39.4bn, up from RUB 38.6bn year-over-year.
Free Cash Flow fell 51% to RUB 10.1bn, mainly due to higher CAPEX and GDR acquisition expenses.
Net cash position deteriorated to RUB -38.4bn from RUB -27.4bn at year-end.
Outlook and guidance
Expects continued operational challenges and oversupply in the railcar market, with further declines in industry volumes in early 2025.
Anticipates substantial fleet retirements (c.3.5k units/year) and c.RUB 100bn investment needed for replacements over 2025–2029.
Regulatory changes could accelerate retirements and increase capital requirements.
