Purmo Group has sold its Russian business to a Russian investment company

Purmo Group has today on 11 September 2024 sold its Russian operations to a Russian investment company. As a result of the divestment, Purmo Group does not have any activities in Russia. The company’s redemption liabilities concerning the Russian business will be paid soon after the completion of the transaction. The parties have agreed that the purchase price will not be disclosed.

On 1 April 2022, Purmo Group announced its intention to exit its business in Russia, and on 28 April 2023, the company announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Russian business to IPLS. The approval process regarding the closure of the transaction with IPLS took longer than expected and, as a result, the Group continued negotiations with other buyers to sell its Russian operations. On 19 April 2024, the Group announced that it had agreed to sell its Russian business to a Russian investment company and ended negotiations with IPLS.

In 2023, the business in Russia represented approximately 3% of the Group’s total net sales. The divestment does not have a material financial impact on Purmo Group and does not affect the financial guidance for 2024.
