June 10, 2021 – ALROSA reports preliminary rough and polished sales
results for May 2021.
ALROSA sales of rough and polished diamonds in May
totaled $365 million, including proceeds from rough diamond sales of
$346 million, and polished diamond sales of $19 million.
For five months of 2021, total rough and polished
diamond sales accounted for $1,926 million, including $1,855 million
of rough diamond sales and $71 million of polished.
“Our May sales results demonstrate strong demand
coming from Indian midstream. Despite epidemiological situation in
April and early May, which demonstrates substantial improvement since
then, cutters and polishers fully adapted and are able to process all
available volumes of rough diamonds. End-demand for diamond jewelry
remains robust in all key regions. For the first four months of the
year jewelry sales exceeded pre-COVID levels of 2019 by 30% in USA,
and by 10% in China,” said Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO of ALROSA.
