Mikhail Oseevsky, President of Rostelecom:
"Despite a series of global challenges in recent years, Rostelecom has successfully implemented the objectives of the strategy for 2021-2025, becoming a strong multidisciplinary digital company. We have not only strengthened our leadership positions in traditional segments of the telecom market, but also entered the top IT companies in the country in such areas as cloud services, information security, digitalization of the state and regions, and commercial software development. The result of our work was the formation of our own powerful technological foundation with a unique combination of digital infrastructure, IT assets, technologies and industry expertise.
In the new strategic cycle, we see Rostelecom as an effectively growing digital leader based on its own technological foundation. Smart investments, advanced development of IT assets and the introduction of innovations will allow the company to strengthen its leadership in key market segments and strengthen its separation from competitors.
As an active participant in the formation of the country's technological sovereignty, the company will continue to develop the production of domestic equipment, develop its own IT solutions, software and platforms for digital services. We see great prospects in our commercial IT cluster, which offers proprietary software for the market both in Russia and abroad.
The focus on digital growth, efficiency and consistent implementation of strategic initiatives will lead to a multiple increase in net profit and a doubling of the dividend stream in the new strategic cycle. These are the most important benchmarks that reflect the effectiveness of our work and the attractiveness of the company in the eyes of shareholders. Rostelecom, as a company with a 30-year history on the public capital market, will continue to create additional value for the benefit of our shareholders and investors."
