«The 22% revenue growth in Q3, stable profitability and comfortable capital expenditure burden allow us to pay dividends for the third time this year - in the amount of RUB 20 per share of MD Medical Group. The total payout this year will be 183 rubles per share and a dividend yield of 20% at the current market share price.
In the coming year, we will continue to develop our network of outpatient and hospital-based treatment facilities. Our strong position will ensure that we are able to fund organic development from the Company's own cash resources and pay dividends at least twice a year».
