During the same period of 2024, the rail operator reported a net profit of 44.7 billion rubles (around 480 million euros).<\/p>\n<p>The 9-month net loss comes despite an increase in revenues of 10.1%, and gross profit grew by 12.4% to 319 billion rubles (3.4 billion euros).<\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid #0a4e7f; padding: 15px 20px 20px 20px; border-radius: 10px; background-color: #e7f1f8; margin: 20px 0;\">Earlier, RailFreight.com pointed out that RZD\u2019s vanishing net profits are the result of financial <strong>liabilities<\/strong>, such as <strong>debt and interest<\/strong> payments. The high Russian interest rate has increased RZD\u2019s expenses on that front significantly. Recent decreases in the interest rate (even if symbolic, from 17.00% to 16.50% in October), have not provided the desired relief.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2025\/09\/10\/data-of-the-week-russian-railways-net-profit-wiped-out\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/%D0%98%D0%BD%D1%84%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D0%A1%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B8%CC%86-%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B8%CC%86-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8-2-128x128.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2025\/09\/10\/data-of-the-week-russian-railways-net-profit-wiped-out\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">Data of the week: Russian Railways net profit wiped out<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian Railways (RZD) has reported a net loss for the first nine months of 2025.
