Etalon Group Announces Record-Setting Monthly Performance

ETALON GROUP PLC ("Etalon Group" or the "Company"), one of Russia's largest and longest-established development and construction companies, announces that its new contract sales in November amounted to RUB 14.8 billion, a new record for monthly sales since its IPO. In terms of floor space, sales amounted to 73 ths sqm, the Company's best monthly result in the last three years.

Commenting on the Company's performance in November 2023, Etalon Group CEO Gennadiy Shcherbina said:

"We are pleased to note that sales continue to grow. Moreover, November was a record-setting month for us in terms of the total value of new contract sales and one of our best months when it comes to the amount of floor space sold.

"We believe our robust operational performance has been due primarily to our timely and rapid expansion into regional markets, where sales have increased severalfold. An additional factor driving performance is the movement of some buyers from the secondary to the primary market following the increase in the key rate and in interest rates for market-based mortgage programmes.

"In addition to expanding the geography and scale of our business, we focused on resolving the trading-infrastructure issue our for GDR holders: we obtained primary listing status on Moscow Exchange and put the issue of redomiciliation to Russia to a shareholder vote. Our current capitalisation is well below our assets' market value of RUB 288 billion, and we expect that the removal of infrastructure-related risks and restrictions will help us put an end to the Company's substantial undervaluation."
