“Compared to 2015, we see some decline in several financial results for 2016, which is confirmed by experts’ long-term forecast of stagnation in the global helicopter market. We are talking, of course, about a demand drop for products of both Russian and foreign production. Given these trends, Russian Helicopters has paid particular attention to optimizing costs and further diversifying sources of profit. Management decisions aimed at stabilizing the financial situation allowed our holding company to complete the year with profit and fully provide the firm orders portfolio for 2017,” said Russian Helicopters CEO Andrey Boginsky.
In 2016, the company focused on improving quality of after-sales service, which helped to significantly improve financial performance in this segment. For example, compared to 2015, sales revenue resulting from service and maintenance increased by more than 18%.
“Considering changes of the external competitive environment and the actualization of our strategy, we conducted an in-depth analysis of our prospects, opportunities and risks, and defined key directions for the next ten years by identifying growth vectors in the current situation,” Boginsky emphasized. – By improving performance of our helicopters and after-sales service, we will be able to enter new client markets. And we will also continue to increase internal efficiency, thus ensuring production volumes and reducing costs and overheads. “
In accordance with the strategy of the aviation cluster, Russian Helicopters intends to expand its model lineup, which includes active development of civilian products. According to Mr. Boginsky, despite negative market forecasts and difficult economic situation in the world in general, the holding company intends to strengthen its position as one of the leading players in the global helicopter market.
