[1] Net profit has been adjusted for other finance expenses associated with revaluation of cross-currency interest rate swaps. For Q1 2022, the adjustments amounted to RUB 11.6 bn (RUB 0.2 bn for Q1 2021).

Rovshan Aliyev, Segezha Group’s Vice President for Finance and Investment, said:

Our company delivered strong results for the first quarter of the year, due among other factors to successful completion of the consolidation of Inter Forest Rus, which brings together a number of high-quality forestry assets and forest resources. Amid high levels of uncertainty and persistent market volatility, our focus remains on ensuring uninterrupted operations at all of our assets and adapting the business to the new environment, which among other measures includes strengthening and developing business ties, signing new partnerships and reconfiguring logistics arrangements to meet business needs.”
