Shares: connector/market_inputs

Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in B USD, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Profit is cash-backed
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 3.13x of reported net profit; after capex, 1.81x. Loss years (2023) are left out of the ratio.

Last twelve months (to 2026-06-30): 2.78x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA 0.4x · capex 0.6x of depreciation
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Spending: Продовольственные магазины (SberIndex) — leading indicator

SberIndex — weekly nominal Russian consumer-spending growth (% YoY) from aggregated Sber-card data. The “Продовольственные магазины” category tracks consumer demand in near-real-time and is a leading signal for Lenta. The level is closer to turnover than to revenue, so the spread to the company's own growth is shown below.
