Ukrainian Railways — Gov’t approves 2024 financial plan

State rail monopoly Ukrainian Railways (RAILUA) has published key figures from its 2024 financial plan approved by the government. Total sales are projected at UAH 103.2bn ($2.8bn based on our 2024 average exchange rate forecast of UAH 37.3:USD) and cost inflation at 13% y-o-y, with the latter primarily reflecting planned salary increases and higher electricity tariffs. The company expects 2023 EBITDA at UAH 11.8bn ($316m) and projects a net loss of UAH 12.6bn ($338m), with stronger-than-forecasted cargo transportation volumes potentially compensating for the anticipated net loss. RAILUA has also budgeted 2024 CAPEX at UAH 38bn ($1.0bn), factoring in no state support.
