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 RUB, 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

Worth a look
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 4.79x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.57x.

accruals, % of assets-10.9%-9.4%-10.4%-12.7%-10.0%
Last twelve months (to 2026-06-30): 5.71x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA 2.3x · EBIT covers interest 1.2x · capex 0.9x of depreciation
● EBIT covers interest 1.2x.
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.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: -101.9%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30)
= (74 483 − 79 762) × 4.45
-23 497
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (139 526 + 801 078) ÷ 331 552
2.8x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 6.5) ÷ 2
= (2.8 + 6.5) ÷ 2
4.7x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -34 813 + 2 301 + 0 − 0
-32 512
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (-23 497 × 4.7 + -32 512) ÷ 139 526
-101.9%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Revenue growth & acceleration

Last-year revenue growth +12% vs +10% the year before — a +1.7 pp move. 3-year CAGR +12%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +13% · 2024 +10% · 2025 +12%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).

This companyRussia1.92.8x2.8x

Group median 4.8x as traded, 2.7x adjusted; this company 2.8x — a 5% premium.

Group average 5.9x as traded, 3.4x adjusted; against the average this company is at a 16% discount.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be -25% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 22.8x, Russia 3.9x, South Africa 5.1x, Kazakhstan 6.6x, India 18.2x, Indonesia 4.8x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-05; the company's own is live.

Dividend potential

Dividend-model upside: +18%

The payout is forecast from smoothed profit × payout ratio, capped by free cash flow (developers exempt — escrow) and floored at the recent actual dividend (companies hold payouts while profitable). Fair yield = key rate + the historical yield-spread to the rate (so growers that historically traded below the rate score higher). Upside = fair price / current − 1.
