State-controlled hydroelectric power producer RusHydro on Friday reported a nine-month net loss of 2.53 billion rubles ($84 million) due to one-off revaluation charges. In the same period a year ago, the company turned a 34.8 billion ruble profit.
Adjusted net profit came in at 13.8 billion rubles, the company said, down 61 percent year on year and below a Reuters poll forecast of 14.8 billion rubles.
Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization declined 33 percent to 39.9 billion rubles, broadly in line with market expectations.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
