Strong market environmentsupports final 2021 dividend target

 

Globaltrans Investment PLC (the "Company" and together with its consolidated subsidiaries "Globaltrans" or the "Group", LSE/MOEX ticker: GLTR) provides an update on the current market environment and re-affirms the final 2021 dividend target it announced in August.

The overall market recovery in Russia continued in the second half of the year fueled by strong demand for bulk cargoes and an accelerated improvement in volumes for the oil products and oil segment[1].

· Overall Russian freight rail turnover (measured in tonnes-kilometers) rose 3.0% year on year in the July-November 2021 period, exceeding the pre-pandemic level of the same period in 2019 by 3.4%.

· Overall Russian freight rail volumes (measured in tonnes) rose 1.9% year on year in the July-November 2021 period, exceeding the pre-pandemic levels of the same period of 2019 by 0.7%.

o Cargo volumes in the non-oil (bulk) segment from July-November 2021 were up 0.5% year on year and have also exceeded the levels of the same period of 2019 by 1.9%.

o Although the catch up in cargo volumes in oil products and oil accelerated over the July-November period (up 9.5% year on year), they remained 5.0% below the level of the same period of 2019.

The pricing environment remains solid with further improvements in gondola market rates and continued favourable conditions in the tank segment.

As expected, the Group's dividend capacity has been strengthened by the continued overall market recovery along with the improvement in gondola rates. These developments enable the Group to re-affirm its final 2021 dividend target in the amount of RUB 5.0 billion or about RUB 28 per share/GDR with expected payment in April-May 2022[2]. The final dividend target is 25% above the 2021 interim dividend payment made earlier this year.

NOTES TO EDITORS

Globaltrans Investment PLC ("Company" and together with its consolidated subsidiaries "Globaltrans" or the "Group") is a leading freight rail transportation group with subsidiary operations across Russia, the CIS and the Baltic countries.

The Company was founded in 2004 by a group of entrepreneurs who combined their freight rail businesses under the single brand Globaltrans. These founders remain key shareholders of the Group.

Throughout its years of operation, the Company has pursued a prudent approach to investment, expanding its fleet both by means of organic growth and through the acquisition of other rail operators. Globaltrans' total fleet is currently almost three times larger than it was at the time of the Company's IPO in 2008.

The Group's dividend policy establishes a transparent and straightforward approach to the payment of dividends and is supported by a long history of delivering attractive shareholder remuneration.

Globaltrans global depositary receipts (GDRs) have been traded on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: GLTR) since May 2008 and on the Level One quotation list of the Moscow Exchange since October 2020 (ticker symbol: GLTR).

Due to its vast logistics capabilities, the Group is able to efficiently manage industrial cargo flows, transporting metallurgical cargoes, oil products and oil, coal and construction materials. The Group serves a broad range of clients in Russia and the CIS including some of Russia's leading companies.

Globaltrans has a total fleet (including owned and leased in under finance and operating leases) of more than 68 thousand units as of the end of September 2021, of which about 95% are owned by the Company. The core of the fleet is universal gondola cars used for a broad range of bulk cargoes (69% of total fleet) and tank cars for transporting oil products and oil (28% of total fleet). Globaltrans also manages its own fleet of mainline locomotives with 71 units that mostly provide traction for its block trains.

The Group's logistics management principally aims to provide reliable services, responding promptly and flexibly to customer needs, while achieving a good level of profitability for the business. The main component of the Group's centralised logistics system is its single dispatching centre that monitors every aspect of Globaltrans' fleet operation. By effectively managing shipments and routes, Globaltrans ensures high utilisation of its fleet and achieves maximum productivity and quality of service.
