LSR Group has completed sale of its cement plant located in Slantsy, the Leningrad region, to Eurocement Group. The buyer acquired full operating control over the facility. The positive effect of the disposal is to be reflected in the company’s IFRS accounts for 2014. 

The deal is a part of LSR Group’s strategy aimed to focus on projects with the highest returns on invested capital and the fast growing real estate development business thus maximising value for our shareholders. As a result we have decreased our debt significantly and made it 100% ruble based. As of the end of 2014 financial year we expect our Net Debt/EBITDA to decrease to less than 1.0.
