The financial indicators of Russian companies have sharply deteriorated against the backdrop of slowing growth and increasing problems in the economy. By the end of 2025, the total loss of organizations increased by 7.5% year-on-year and reached 8.9 trillion rubles. In particular, 17,200 companies, or 27.1% of the total number, reported losses. At the same time, 46,400 organizations recorded profits. Together, they earned 35.9 trillion rubles, which is 1.3% less compared to the previous year. Thus, the net financial result (profits minus losses) of Russian businesses decreased by 3.9% year-on-year to 27 trillion rubles. This follows from the data of Rosstat, which are cited by “Vedomosti”.
In terms of industries, the financial indicators of companies engaged in the production of motor vehicles (their balance decreased by 79.7%), freight transportation (-77.4%), coke production (-66.6%), oil and natural gas extraction (-63.9%), as well as the production of paper and products from it (-61.5%) have significantly deteriorated. The share of loss-making organizations was higher than the share of profitable ones in coal mining (66.1%), the production and transmission of steam and hot water (63.8%), the activities of other land transport (58%), water supply and waste collection (51%), as well as in oil and gas extraction (50.9%) (The Moscow Times).
