OREANDA-NEWS. August 24, 2012. RBC OJSC (MICEX-RTS: RBCM) hereby announces its unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter and the first half of 2012.

"During the second quarter, RBC continued to strengthen its leading positions on the Russian media market. The audience of the holding's key media resources increased. In April, we closed a major strategically important deal on the acquisition of RU-CENTER and launched its consolidation with RBC's hosting business. In the past quarter, RBC's senior management team was strengthened, which serves to improve the quality and increase monetization of our products.

RBC's revenue climbed 36% thanks to the effect of the new asset's integration into the group, as well as to the company's organic growth. EBITDA dynamics was in line with the historic trend and gives us reason to believe that RBC will be able to reach its 2012 profitability growth targets. Based on the results for the first half of the year, we look to the future with optimism and leave our forecast for the full year of 2012 unchanged," RBC's CEO Sergey Lavrukhin said.
