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.

Share repurchase and dividends

MTS PJSC has launched tender offers for holders of the Company’s ordinary shares. As part of the tender, MTS subsidiary Stream Digital LLC completed the purchase of more than 26.2 million shares in the summer of 2024, and another 1.60 million in the fall of the same year.

In April, MTS approved a new dividend policy for 2024–2026, according to which the target dividend yield is at least 35 rubles per share for each year.
