Expressed in rubles, Group revenue decreased by 19.4%. Overall, EBIT for the first six months of 2021 showed a slightly positive result.

1 As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively The Company's revised outlook for 2021 estimates revenue in the range of EUR 231.0 million to EUR 241.0 million based on an average exchange rate of RUB 86.0 per euro (former estimate: EUR 233.1 million to EUR 240.9 million, based on an exchange rate of RUB 92.0 per euro).
