Novorossiisk Commercial Sea Port said Thursday it had reached a deal with Sberbank on improving the terms of a $1.95 billion loan.
The port operator, which provides the largest outlets for Russian energy and commodity exports, said the deal included a decrease in the interest rate from Jan. 19, changes in the repayment schedule, and a significant lightening of the covenant requirements.
The company said Thursday that nine-month net profit fell 68 percent year-on-year to $101.8 million due to foreign exchange losses.
Revenue for the period stood at $691.3 million, down 12 percent, while EBITDA fell 19 percent to $379.6 million, the company said in a statement.
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.
