Andrey Molchanov, CEO of PJSC LSR Group, commented:

"I am pleased with LSR Group performance in the first half of 2020. Despite the operational difficulties in light of the Covid-19 outbreak, we achieved a YoY new contract sales growth in Saint Petersburg and Yekaterinburg, the two regions where the quarantine measures introduced were far less strict relative to Moscow.

I am happy to report that our online sales platform proved efficient in meeting customer demands during the second quarter of 2020.

The mortgage rate subsidy programme continues to support demand and, considering the recent increase in the loan principal value to RUB 12 million in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, we expect to see an even greater share of mortgage sales in the months to come, having already reached a record 67% in the second quarter of 2020.

LSR Group sales have now fully returned to pre-crisis levels and we remain well positioned to continue executing on our strategy, with a strong balance sheet and access to liquidity secured."
