2024 Highlights
Record revenue and debt
By the end of 2024, MTS received about 704 BRUB in revenue, which is a record figure in the Company’s 31-year history. MTS revenues are growing at double-digit rates mainly due to successful results in the B2B telecommunications business, MTS Fintech and MTS AdTech. High interest rates continue to put pressure on profit margins, but the Company’s management is making every effort to offset the negative effects. The Company maintains its debt burden at a stable level.

Improving the efficiency
An important stage in the group’s development was the decision to transform the corporate structure and optimize costs. According to the group’s management, ecosystem businesses outside of telecom will focus on the MTS Ecosystem. Separating ecosystem businesses from telecom will create a solid foundation for their further strategic development and improving the quality of corporate governance. Dedicated business verticals will become more independent, manageable, and focused on achieving specific results.
