When it comes to the ecosystem's mature businesses, Fintech is making a major contribution to revenue growth. Retail loan portfolio grew by 33% last year to RUB 339 billion, while net profit increased to a record RUB 12.5 billion. In line with its strategy, MTS Fintech is committed to continuing its strong growth, remaining one of the ecosystem's key drivers and creating the leading digital services in the retail financial services market. At the same time, we are developing this stream as an independent business and attractive investment that operates in line with the best corporate governance practices.

Our B2B telecom business demonstrated excellent results last year. We remain the leaders in Russia's B2B market, with robust growth of 17% year-on-year, driven by the Internet of Things as well as intelligent connectivity systems and communication services under the MTS Link and MTS Exolve banners. We also completed the first tests of our proprietary base station under real-world conditions last year, and our first hundred stations will be up and running on our network before the end of 2024.

Thanks to synergies among all our businesses and ongoing investments to develop both our primary businesses and new streams, we can look to the future with confidence as we continue to improve the quality of our ecosystem services for our tens of millions of customers».
