Story
2018: Creation of "NMG Studio"
As Pavel Mitrofanov, managing director for corporate ratings at RAEX, explained, according to the current rules of the organization, the agency had to assign and publish a rating for NMG before completely stopping rating the company in the future.
In turn, the downgrade of NMG's rating was affected by the general risks associated with the company's activities and the unstable dynamics of the Russian media market, which led to a deterioration in the financial condition of the company's "largest investments." Low business diversification also has a negative impact. And RAEX identified the high share of short-term receivables and the high share of the largest counterparty in this structure as limiting factors. It is not reported which counterparty we are talking about.
The RAEX report also states that NMG has insufficient “profitability as a group management company” and a “low level of financial disclosure.” In turn, NMG representatives note that the holding’s assets are quite diversified compared to other players in the media market, and they are not required to publish financial statements anywhere, since they are in fact a closed joint-stock company.
Gazprom-Media Holding became the owner of 7.5% of NMG shares
The document states that Gazprom-Media Holding acquired a stake in NMG from third parties, but from whom exactly is not specified. According to Vedomosti, the seller could be Gennady Timchenko, at least he had a stake in the National Media Group of 7.5%. Timchenko himself acquired a stake in NMG back in 2013 from the Luxembourg company RTL. The transaction amount was 81 million euros.
Let us recall that in February 2016, Gazprom-Media Holding submitted an application to the FAS to acquire a 33.3% stake in Pladform. This platform distributes and monetizes content on the Internet. And, for example, the largest Russian social network “VKontakte” actively cooperates with it.
2015
Purchase of 25% of the Sport-Express company
In the spring of 2015, NMG acquired a 25% stake in the Sport Express company, which included a television channel and a newspaper of the same name.

In March 2014, CJSC National Media Group announced the completion of the transaction to acquire 50% of the authorized capital of Art Pictures Vision LLC (part of the Art Pictures Group), one of Russia's leading producers of TV films and series.
As a result of the transaction, National Media Group CJSC will integrate into its structure the full cycle of television and film content management - from production to distribution.
“Partnership with NMG is a tremendous opportunity for the high-quality development of professional television content. This segment of the media market in Russia today has an urgent need for new interesting products and fresh creative solutions. Without a doubt, together with our partner we will be able to become suppliers of high-quality TV content, which will be appreciated by both customers and television viewers,” said the founder of Art Pictures Fyodor Bondarchuk.
CJSC NMG also reached an agreement to acquire 50% of Art Pictures Studio LLC, one of the most famous Russian film companies (part of the Art Pictures Group of Companies). The transaction will be closed after receiving appropriate regulatory approvals.
On September 15, 2014, it became known that Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics, State Duma deputy Alina Kabaeva will head the board of directors of the National Media Group.
“Alina Maratovna Kabaeva, who headed the Public Council of the National Media Group holding for six years, accepted the offer to take the post of chairman of the holding’s board of directors,” says a message from Kabaeva’s representative, available to ITAR-TASS.
Earlier it became known that Kabaeva wrote a statement of her own free will to resign as a State Duma deputy. “The deputy wrote a statement, we satisfied it,” explained Sergei Popov, head of the State Duma Committee on Rules of Procedure, to ITAR-TASS.
2013
Revenue 12.1 billion, profit - 1.5 billion rubles
Timchenko buys 7.5% in NMG from RTL Group for $81 million
Gennady Timchenko’s Volga Group had the opportunity to invest in NMG in August 2013, when “a corresponding offer arose on the market,” Anton Kurevin, director of communications at Volga Group, said later (in October 2014). It was in August 2013 that it became known that the Luxembourg RTL Group would exercise its option to sell its 7.5% stake in NMG. RTL Group itself announced its withdrawal from NMG shareholders on September 19, 2013, reporting then that its stake went to “one of the current shareholders of the group.” The stake was acquired from RTL Group, confirm Kurevin and a source close to NMG shareholders.
In September 2013, 7.5% of NMG were sold for €81 million. The entire group was thus valued at €1.08 billion, or about 46.522 billion rubles.
Ownership structure
From the information in the SPARK database, we can conclude that until September 2014, the bank owned NMG through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Abros investment company. But in September 2014, Rossiya announced that it was terminating its participation in Abros Investment Company LLC. According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, since September 11, 99.9955% of the company belongs to Abros Investment Company LLC itself, and the owners of the remaining tiny stake through Bolshoi Dom, 9 LLC are Kirill Klishin, Dmitry Lebedev, Sergey Fursenko, Tatyana, Yuri and Kirill Kovalchuk.
Kirill Kovalchuk, nephew of the main owner of Rossiya Bank Yuri Kovalchuk, has been the chairman of the board of directors of NMG since the summer of 2012, but in September 2014 he ceded this post to Alina Kabaeva and became the president of the group.

This is almost 21% more than the previous year, and 4% more than the pre-crisis 2008 figures. Spending on television advertising increased by 18%, to 131 billion rubles, and if we take into account political advertising, the volume of which amounted to 1 billion rubles in November-December last year. without VAT, then by 19%.

RTL Group receives 7.5% in NMG in exchange for 30% in REN TV
RTL Group became a shareholder of NMG in May 2011, exchanging its 30% stake in REN TV for 7.5% in NMG. And immediately the Luxembourg group received an option to sell its stake in 2013. The Luxembourg group received a share in REN TV back in 2005, having then bought a stake from the founders of the channel, Irena and Dmitry Lesnevsky. From the reporting of RTL Group it follows that in 2005 it invested €67 million in Russia. In the same year, the main owner of REN TV instead

Russian media have unearthed information allowing them to assert that the National Media Group is owned not only Yuri Kovalchuk and Gennady Timchenko. According to RBC, the Russian President has two more friends in NMG - Arkady and Boris Rotenberg.
To understand how this data came to light, it is necessary to understand the most complex multi-step process. To begin with, journalists became aware of the connection between the structures of billionaires Arkady and Boris Rotenberg and the Cyprus company Ermira Consultants Limited, which in September 2014 became the owner of the Putinka vodka brand. According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Ermira owns 32% of Accept LLC, the operating company of the REN TV channel. It is on this structure that the channel’s revenue is concentrated (7.2 billion rubles in 2013), and it also owns the license for the channel’s website. According to SPARK, Ermira also owns 3% of OJSC Television and Radio Company Petersburg, which owns Channel Five and Radio Petersburg. All of the listed media outlets are part of the National Media Group, whose managing partner is billionaire and shareholder of Rossiya Bank Yuri Kovalchuk. Ermira, according to media reports, may also own a small stake in NMG itself.
Naturally, NMG does not disclose the owners. The latest published document on the structure of the group's shareholders is a report on the results of the additional issue of securities of National Media Group CJSC for January 2009. Then Surgutneftegaz and the structures of billionaire Alexey Mordashov became the owners of 24 and 26% of NMG shares, respectively. 26% were received by companies at that time associated with Yuri Kovalchuk: Abros Investment Company (at that time a wholly owned subsidiary of Rossiya Bank), SOGAZ, Mediaset and Media-Invest. Another 24% of LMWHs were recorded on Ermira.
According to the reporting of Surgutneftegaz for 2013, the oil company owns 26.2% of NMG. Exactly the same share was controlled by the structures of Alexey Mordashov, according to the report on the issue of NMG securities in 2009. The businessman's representative declined to comment, but an interlocutor close to Mordashov said that his share remained at approximately the same level.
In 2011, an exchange of assets took place between the Luxembourg television holding RTL, which owns a stake in the REN TV channel, and Ermira: RTL received 7.5% of NMG, and Ermira - 30% of REN TV. In 2013, the Germans sold their share of NMG to Gennady Timchenko.
At the same time, the share of NMG owned by Kovalchuk’s structures has increased. The latest published report of Rossiya Bank for 2012 stated that the bank’s consolidated share in NMG’s capital is 35.5%. 21.2% of them were accounted for by SOGAZ, the controlling stake of which was owned by Abros Investment Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rossiya. Well, after the introduction of Western sanctions against Rossiya Bank and Kovalchuk personally, the ownership structure of assets controlled by the billionaire began to change rapidly. According to the report of the OJSC Editorial Board of the Izvestia newspaper for the third quarter of 2014, 38.4% of NMG is owned by ADB Management CJSC. This company, founded by managers of Rossiya Bank, manages the assets of Kovalchuk and his partners. ADB Management has two managing directors - Kovalchuk's nephew Kirill and Dmitry Lebedev, chairman of the board of directors of Rossiya Bank. ADB Management could receive management of all shares owned by companies associated with Kovalchuk. Or he might not have received it - a representative of Rossiya Bank and ADB Management declined to comment.
The four largest shareholders of NMG - Surgutneftegaz, the structures of Mordashov and Timchenko, ADB Management - thus own 98.3% of the shares of the media group. That is, a small stake of 1.7% may still be owned by Ermira, which is associated with the Rotenbergs.
In addition, Arkady Rotenberg also has an indirect participation in the NMG business. Let me remind you that the group owns a 25% stake in Channel One, one of the main content providers for which is the Red Square group. And in the spring of 2014, Red Square announced that Rotenberg acquired a controlling stake in the group. But neither the Rotenbergs’ representative nor NMG itself refused to comment on all this.
