UTair (914632) Faktensammlung und Firmenportrait (KGV unter 2!) - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[MarcBettinger]

Hallo zusammen!

Ich finde es wird einfach mal Zeit diesem Wert etwas mehr Beachtung zu schenken! Ich werde versuchen mit dem verdammt wenigen Datenmaterial ein paar Facts zu posten. Jeder der sonst noch Infos zu dem Wert hat ist eingeladen diesen Thread zu nutzen.

Hier die Infos aus www.rußlandaktien.info (gute Seite!)


UTair (ehemals Tyumenaviatrans Airlines) ist eine Fluggesellschaft mit dem Geschäftsfeldern Passagier- und Luftfrachttransport. Zur Zeit ist man die Nr. 4 in Rußland. Man strebt jedoch eine Übernahme der Domodedovo Airlines ans und würde damit dann zur Nr. 3 aufsteigen.

Die 5 größten Airlines sind: Aeroflot, Pulkovo, Siberia, UTair und Krasnoyarsk Airlines.

Bemeimatet ist UTair ind Khanty Mansiisk. Die Geschichte der Gesellschaft beginnt im Jahr 1934 als der Flieger A. Fokin die Linie Tyumen- Tobolsk- St. Masisk-Saperad eröffnete. Sit 1992 ist man eine Aktiengesellschaft

Die Flotte umfasst: 104 Flugzeuge davon 15 Tu-154 und 11 Tu-134 der Rest sind Flugzeuge vom Typ: Jak 40, AN-24, AN 26 und AN 2.

174 Hubschrauber: 18 MI -26T (Nutzlast über 20 T) 117 Mi-8 T und 23 Mi 8 MTW (Nutzlast 4 T) sowie 7 Mi 10 (Nutzlast 3T) und 8 Mi-6 (Nutzlast 12t). Die Mi-26 Hubschrauber sind mit über 20 Tonnen Nutzlast die größten Transporthubschrauber der Welt. UTair besitzt 18 Stück und damit die weltweit größte Flotte . Eingesetzt werden die Maschinen in allen erdenklichen Bereichen, so werden Transportaufgaben für die Öl- und Gasindustrie, sowie die UNO in allen Krisengebieten der Welt von UTair durchgeführt. Hinzu kommen Montageeinsätze in der Bau- und Elektroenergiebranche.

Wir sehen die UTair Aktie als aussichtsreiches Langfristinvestment. Schaut man sich die Wachstumsraten bei Umsatz und Gewinn an, dann sollte sich ein Investment doch mal auszahlen. Hinderlich ist sicherlich die starke Unbekanntheit des Unternehmens. Betrachtet man den Hubschrauberpark, dann ist UTair die Nr. 1 in der Welt. Insgesamt ist der gesamte Park von annährend 300 Maschinen sicherlich eine gute Ausgangsposition für weiteres kräftiges Wachstum. Mit einem KGV von weniger als 2 sollte noch erhebliches Potential in der Aktie stecken. Aber wie gesagt, wer kennt UTair un dnach den Vorgängen am 11. September 2001 in New York ist es sicherlich nicht einfacher geworden, in einem Lufttransportunternehmen einen Kauf zu sehen. Die Zahlen hinsichtlich Wachstum und Bewertung sprechen aber für sich.

Ein paar Zahlen: 2000/2001

Umsatz in Millionen US: 78,851 / 127,567
Nettogewinn in Millionen US: 14,251 / 18,212
beförderte Passagiere in Millionen: 0,7375 / 1,217
transportierte Fracht in Tonnen: 69142 / 121000



Kürzel in Moskau: TMAT
WKN in Deutschland: 914632 (Kauf am Besten in EDB-Berlin)
1 ADR sind gleich 100 Aktien
Kurs der Aktie in Rußland 12.09.2003: 0.065 / 0.08 US$
letzter Umsatz allerdings irgendwann im Juni!
Kurs der Aktie in Deutschland 12.09.2003: 5,80 Euro
letzter Umsatz allerdings am 11.09.2003 zu 6,70 Euro

Homepage der Gesellschaft: http://utair.lgg.ru

Aktien gibt es: 577.208.000 davon 3% als ADR (1:100
Ergibt eine Marktkapitalisierung von: 38,6 Millionen Euro
(hab mal nen Kurs von 6,70 angesetzt)
denkt dran Gewinn 2001: 18,2 Millionen Dollar!
KGV um die 2
Dividendenrendite ist so um die 3%

Allerdings habe ich leider von 2002 oder 2003 keine Daten. Aber selbst bei Stagnation wäre die Bewertung Lächerlich.




Mein persönliches Fazit : Die Aktie ist eine unentdeckte Perle. Allerdings kann das noch eine ganze Weile so bleiben. Aber wenn UTair mal entdeckt wird, dann geht ganz ordentlich die Post ab. Fragt mich nicht wo der Kurs gemacht wird. In Rußland geht nichts und in Berlin muss man Glück haben wenn ein Umsatz am Tag stattfindet. Es ist deshalb halt ziemlich schwer rein oder raus zu kommen. Aber immerhin geht in Berlin mehr wie in Rußland.

Falls noch jemand sonst Infos hat, würd ich mich freuen wenn es entsprechende Ergänzungen gibt.

Happy Trade wünscht euch

Die Gewinne sind kontinuierlich gefallen und in den
ersten Monaten dieses Jahres hat es einen Verlust
gegeben. Die genauen Daten kann ich nicht liefern.
Ich war am Wochenende nur über eine Sicherheitslücke
in den Bezahlbereich von skrin.ru gekommen.
Die Daten hatte ich mir angesehen aber nicht
rausgeschrieben.
Da aber Aeroflot gute Zahlen meldet dürfte der Verlust
bald wieder in einen Gewinn wandelbar sein. Die Firma
meldet zumindest steigende Kundenzahlen und das dürfte sich
bald wieder in positiveren Zahlen ausdrücken.

[MarcBettinger]

So dachte ich muss mich mal wieder zur UTair melden. Find ich übrigens ganz klasse das der Wert bisher vergessen wurde. So konnte ich nochmal ganz billig nachlegen...

Hab bei Skrin Issuer nach langer Suche ein paar Fakten rausbekommen, die mich noch positiver stimmen. Hab allerdings nur die Headlines aus dem Freebereich aber die sprechen für sich:

22.08.2003: Utair double net Profit 2003

30.09.2003: Utair wins to render Transport Services to UN


Diese Meldungen sprechen wohl für sich. Ich bin mir ganz sicher: So wie man NKNC jetzt gerade entdeckt hat wird man die UTair auch entdecken. Nur ist der Wert noch marktenger und die Kurssteigerungen werden noch fetter.

Viel Spaß mit diesem Wert wünsche ich allen Investierten!


Gruß Marc

Ich denke aber, dass die Gewinne dieses

Vielen Dank für die konkreten Zahlen. Bin mal echt gespannt wie es zum Jahresende aussieht.

[matthiasch]

Bin heute auch mal rein und hab euch im Kurs mal einen Aufschlag gegönnt.
Leider nicht zu viele bekommen - und 7,1€ zahle ich vorerst nicht

[MarcBettinger]

In die Aktie rein zu kommen ist sauschwer und ein echtes Geduldspiel! Nicht aufgeben!

Längerfristig wirst du aber froh sein wenn Du noch für 7,10 Euro eingestiegen bist. Denk dran: Diese Aktie halten vielleicht 100 Leute in Deutschland und sonst kümmert sich NIEMAND um diesen Wert. Das wird sich aber ändern und wenn es sich ändert ist es zu spät, dann sind wir immer zweistelligen Bereich. Je Marktenger ein Wert um so höher wird es abgehen. UTAIR ist fundamental noch billiger als die immer noch spottbillige NKNC!

Gruß Marc

[matthiasch]

Marc, wenn ich mir dann immernoch vorstellen muss, dass das Ding unter 2 war und die GESAMTE Firma weniger als ein Jahresgewinn bewertet war, dann weiß ich wirklich nicht mehr, wie so etwas möglich ist

[MarcBettinger]

Das nennt man die Ineffizienz der Märkte!

Ergo: Eine Aktie ist NIEMALS fair bewertet sondern immer über- oder unterbewertet! Nach den Theorien von Warren Buffett wird sich längerfristig ein Kurs dem fairen Wert zumindest annähern. Den fairen Wert von Amazon sehe ich bei 6,10 Euro. Den fairen Wert von UTair sehe ich bei über 50 Euro.

Momentan ist es noch anders herum aber die Zeit wird das ganze schon richten. Und so lange lehne ich mich zurück und mache es wie Kostolany (dessen Strategien ja anscheinend total veraltet sind): "Gute Aktien kaufen, den akutellen Kurs nicht groß beachten und einfach liegenlassen"

Gruß Marc

Ich verkaufe!

[MarcBettinger]

Kurs ist jetzt auf 4,40 Euro...

Gibt es Gründe für den Kurssturz?

[matthiasch]

Ganz einfach:

Wenn keine Käufer da sind, die bereit sind, zum EIGENTICHEN Kurs in Russland zu kaufen, dann wird der Kurs jeden Abend auf das Niveau des nächsten Käufers getaxt. Dies liegt momentan bei 4,40€, gestern sogar bei 4,20€, vorgestern bei 4,01€. Du siehst, dass einige bereit sind, mehr zu zahlen.
Der eigentliche Hammer an der Sache ist aber, dass gestern und heute Utair in Russland mit Umsätzen zu umgerechnet 5,80€ gehandelt wurden!
Das Bid/Ask in Russland steht nach wie vor bei 5€ zu 6,50€!

Deshalb bin ich schon seit Tagen am Kaufen - wenn es billig Stücke gibt!
Momentan liegen noch 50 zum Verkauf bei 5,40€, danach verkauft der Nächste erst wieder über 7€!!!
Für mich zu wenig Stücke. Aber für jemanden, der kleiner investieren möchte ein Schnäppchen!


Hoffe Dir geholfen zu haben - alles im Lot. Nur die momentane, allgemeine Panik bei russischen Papieren war Grund für den Kurssturz IN Deutschland - nicht in Russland!

Gruß matthiasch

PS: Wenn ich ehrlich bin, nervt mich dieses Getaxe wahrscheinlich genauso wie dich. Da sich der Makler aber nicht die Mühe macht, werden Aktien wie Rostovenergo, Samaraenergo oder eben Utair jeden Tag zum Kurs geschlossen, der durchschnittlich 20% unter dem tatsächlichen Kurs liegt. Schlusskurse also ohne Umsätze gestellt.
Die Buchverluste von heute werden die realisierten Gewinne von Morgen sein

Du siehst, dass man gerade mal 150 Stücke in Deutschland bekommen kann! Wenn jemand tatsächliche 150 kaufen will, steht der Kurs wieder bei 7,80 €. Am nächsten Tag wird der Makler Utair aber wieder auf 4,40 € Best Bid runtertaxen

[MarcBettinger]

Vielen Dank für die fundierte Antwort Matthiasch!

Nehme das ganze ganz locker und werde weiter halten.

Gruß Marc

[eesti]

Habe auch mal nachgeschaut, woran der Kursrückgang liegen könnte.
Für die ersten 9 Monate wurde ein Verlust von 7,878 Mio US$ bei skrin angegeben.
Ich hatte eigentlich mindestens mit einem ausgeglichenen Ergebnis gerechnet.
Der Kurs von 5 zu 7 Cent in Moskau ergibt für ein ADR in DE
einen umgerechneten Kurs von 5 Euro. Und da stehen wir ja auch.
Der Umsatz betrug für die ersten 9 Monate 145 Mio US$ und
ist somit deutlich gestiegen.
Die Marktkapitalisierung beträgt lächerliche 35 Mio US$.
Sollte das Management durch seriöse Personen ausgetauscht werden sehe ich
die Zukunft optimistisch aber leider ist die TMAT in den Händen der
örtlichen Regierung und die werden doch eher Personen einsetzen, die
"das Vertrauen der Regionalregierung genießen".

[MarcBettinger]

Das Erklärt dann wohl den komischen Typy bei #12...

[petrolero]

endlich mal eine günstige gelegenheit sonst sind die russen ja schon zimelich teuer geworden.
speziell die nicht ölfirmen sind doch schon zimlich gelaufen.
kgv von 2 tönt gut und bald könnten es 3 bis vier sein.
aeroflott ist ja mit 5 bis 6 bewertet.

leider gibt es so wenig verkäufer das ist wohl der einzige Nachteil.

frohe weihnachten

[matthiasch]

Langsam, still und leise hat der Makler den Kurs in den letzten Tagen angehoben und heute Handel zu 6,60€

[sauerback]

Habe bei kreml.net nur gelesen, dass Surgutneftegaz die Übernahme der 30% noch nicht bestätigt hat. Sie hätten danach über 40% an Utair. Da sie Hauptkunde von Utair sind, wollen sie den Laden vielleicht ganz übernehmen, habe mich aber auch schon mit anderen sogenannten Kennern unterhalten, die auch keine zufriedenstellende Begründung für die Handlung von Seiten Surguts finden konnten.

TENDER RESULTS OF UTAIR AVIATION ON SUPPLIES OF FIVE TURBO-PROP REGIONAL AIRCRAFTS WILL BE DEFINED ON 27 JULY

16.07.2004

Surgut – The open tender results on supplies of five turbo-prop regional aircraft each on 35-60 seats will be announced on 27 July of this year. It is a date of the tender commission meeting.

As it was informed earlier, the tender commission selected companies, which continued participation in open tender on supplies of five turbo-prop regional aircraft at the previous meeting (May 14).

On the base of packages of tender participants concerning supplies of five jets and advices of attracted consultants Ernst&Young and Denton Wilde Sapte (UK) the tender commission decided to allow to the final tender stage two types of aircrafts DASH-8 (the Canadian company Bombardier) and ATR-42 (French-based ATR, the Irish leasing company Magellan Air).

As reported earlier, UTair announced an open tender on supplies (leasing) of five regional aircraft with about 35 to 60 passenger seats each on October 25, 2003.

Habe mir die UTair auch mal wieder angeschaut, da ich früher schonmal mit den Aktien spekuliert habe (damals hießen sie noch Tyumenaviatrans und wurden zeitweilig für einen lächerlichen Kurs von unter 1 EUR pro ADR gehandelt). Die Informationen auf der Internetseite sind ja für russische Verhältnisse sehr gut, aber trotzdem frage ich mich, warum der Kurs noch so viel weiter steigen sollte. Es wird ein Net Asset Value von 1370146 kRUB angegeben, was etwa 38,5 Mio. EUR entspricht, und so einen fairen ADR-Kurs von ca. 6,6 EUR bedeutet (http://www.utair.ru/img/uploaded/2004061514580130.doc)Der Gewinn ist ja eigentlich nicht so aussagekräftig, da er nunmal sehr viel schwanken kann, bei dem angegebenen Gewinn von 83086kRUB kommt man auf ein KGV von ca. 15, wenn man den aktuellen Kurs von 6 EUR pro ADR zugrunde legt. Wichtiger ist da schon die Dividendenrendite, die bei 4,3 RUB pro ADR bei ca. 2% liegt und die meines Wissens auch zu Zeiten eines KGVs von 2 nicht besonders gut war, was darauf deuten könnte, dass solche hohen Gewinne nicht die Regel sind. Bedenkt man nun, dass UTair leider sehr illiquide ist und sehr unbekannt, ist ein gewisser Abschlag auf den NAV verständlich, ganz abgesehen von psychologischen Faktoren, die ein möglicher YUKOS-Konkurs auf den russischen Aktienmarkt haben könnte und natürlich abgesehen von möglichen realen Folgen, die die Harte Hand von Putin auf privatisierte Unternehmen haben könnte.
Dies ist nur mein erster Eindruck von der Gesellschaft, mit der ich mich lange nicht mehr beschäftigt habe und soll nur zur kritscheren Diskussion anregen. Vielleicht habe ich wesentliche Aspekte übersehen, dann lasse ich mich natürlich auch umstimmen.

ATR WINS UTAIR`S TENDER ON SUPPLYING FIVE SHORT-HAUL AIRCRAFT

Surgut –UÒair Aviation is completing a deal on purchasing a regional air carrier. Despite reports of some mass media sources that this deal has been already accomplished, UTair Aviation is planning to announce the completion of this deal this September.

According to UTair General Director Andrey Martirosov, the owners of several regional airlines proposed UTair purchase them. However, UTair became interested only in one of them.

“The deal is currently in its final stage and we do not want to disclose information about its participants and other details until it is fully accomplished,” Martirosov said.

UTAIR MAKES FIRST REGULAR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT FROM KHANTY-MANSIYSK AIRPORT

10.09.2004

Surgut. On Thursday, September 9, UTair Aviation made the first regular international flight from the airport of Khanty-Mansiysk, the capital of Yugra, to Kiev (Flight No. TP 747).

The ceremony of opening the new route was attended by Vasiliy Sondykov, the chairman of the Duma of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, Zinaida Sakhautdinova, the director of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, Vladimir Zhuravlyov, the director of the Transport and Communications Department of Yugra, Andrey Martirosov, the general director of UTair, and Anatoly Tulinov, the general director of the Khanty-Mansiysk Airport.

In the opinion of Vasiliy Sondykov, the speaker of the Duma of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, the opening of the first regular international route from the airport of the capital of Yugra to Ukraine is not by chance.

“Over 200,000 Ukrainians live in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area now. Obviously, communications with that country are necessary, because we have good neighborly relations,” the chairman of the Duma of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area underlined.

As UTair General Director Andrey Martirosov pointed out at the opening ceremony, “certainly, this is just the beginning.”

“In my view, the prospects for the international sector in Khanty-Mansiysk are rather good. We will build a convenient network of routes for the residents of the city and the autonomous area, which can be used for making convenient connections here and making international departures from here. In think, a very big step forward has been made,” the chief executive of the airline declared.

There were 11 people on the first flight to the capital of Ukraine.

“We believe that it is not bad to have 11 people on the first flight. This indicates a big potential for this route, and I think we will see this route profitable rather soon, and therefore we are optimistic,” Andrey Martirosov stated.

Additionally, according to him, flights to Azerbaijan, Turkey, Bulgaria and some other countries will be carried out from the Khanty-Mansiysk Airport in the future.

UTAIR AVIATION INCLUDED ON RATING OF RUSSIA’S 100 LARGEST COMPANIES

01.10.2004

Khanty-Mansiysk – Based on the results of 2003 UTair Aviation JSC was included on the rating Russia’s 100 Largest Companies prepared by the rating center AK&M and the magazine Kompaniya.

According to materials published in the magazine, the rating was calculated on the basis of 100 leading Russian companies that had the largest revenues and the highest number of the personnel in 2003.

To compose the rating AK&M specialists employed five parameters that defined a company’s weight in the country’s economy such as the amount of revenues, the volume of tax payments, the number of employees, a company’s share on the market and the volume of exports. Each parameter contributed to the rating score of each enterprise. The scores that a company had received were then totaled.

Thus, UTair Aviation was acknowledged as one of the major enterprises in the country, according to the results of its activities in 2003.

The rating table and a corresponding article were published in the September edition of the magazine Kompaniya.

[matthiasch]

Utair wird in Deutschland aktuell 4,50€ zu 4,80€ getaxt, dabei einige Umsätze zu 4,70€ und darunter.

Jetzt kommts: Der Kurs in Russland steht allerdings bei 0.065 zu 0.0702. Multipliziert man das mit dem ADR-Verhältnis von 100 und dann noch trotz hohem € gegenüber dem $, dann kommt man zu einem BID/ASK von 5,14€ zu 5,55€.

Man kann bei uns momentan also recht günstig zu Stücken kommen, die vom Makler gestellt werden. Versteht das einer?
Also ich war die letzten Tage leicht auf der Käuferseite, nur so nebenbei.

UTAIR AVIATION INTRODUCES ‘ADDITIONAL FUEL CHARGE’

01.11.2004

Khanty-Mansiysk – UTair Aviation (UTair Aviation, JSC) introduced a so-called ‘additional fuel charge’ on November 1 on all its flights that will be implemented according to the winter schedule. This extra charge is from $10 to $15 per passenger ticket depending on the flight time.

In particular, a ticket for a flight that lasts less than 2 hours is to cost $10 more and an additional $15 for a 2 to 4 hour flight.

UTair General Director Andrey Martirosov stressed that the only reason for the introduction of the ‘additional fuel charge’ was a very high and steadily advance in oil and oil product prices.

“This obviously results in a constant growth in prices for aviation fuel and air carriers have to offset the losses sustained. It is impossible to retain current prices further at the cost of internal resources,” he stressed.

It should be noted that UTair Aviation has been the last among Russia`s major air carriers to announce the introduction of these measures. Moreover, UTair has not increased the prices of air tickets this year, despite growth in prices on oil products.


For reference:
Aviation fuel prices have surged by more than 40 percent since the beginning of 2004 and currently the share of fuel and lubricants in the structure of the airline’s tariff is about 35 to 40 percent.

Ist zwar nicht schlecht, aber deshalb der Kursanstieg

[sauerback]

Es ist zumindest das erste Mal seit Jahren, dass die eine Dividende auszahlen. Der Kursanstieg kommt meines Erachtens eher durch die geringe, aber immerhin, Nachfrage zustande. Da kaufst Du von denen ein paar Hubschrauber und schon hast Du die MK von 56 Mio $. Der Wert ist in meinen Augen einfach nur unterbetwertet.

[matthiasch]

@Sauerback

Sorry, aber ich erhalte seit JAHREN Dividende von Utair
Habe gerade nochmal geschaut, die letzte gab es am 12.01.05, das waren 0,15490 Euro pro ADR bei der DAB, bei Consors weiß ich jetzt nicht genau. Das sind nicht unerhebliche 3% vom EK-Kurs gewesen.

zu den "Hubschraubern"
Du musst allerdings den kompletten Enterprise-Value sehen, d.h. nicht nur die MK sondern die Schulden müsstest du ebenfalls übernehmen. Ich weiß nicht mehr wie hoch die waren, aber ganz so unerheblich niedrig nicht, daran kann ich mich noch erinnern

Gruß

[sauerback]

Scusi, ist wohl mein Fehler, habe in den letzten Jahren meines Wissens keine Dividende erhalten, werde mich mal dahinter klemmen.
Die Schulden, habe auch gerade keine genauen Zahlen parat, sind enorm, werden es aber auch bleiben, da es in vielen Teilen Russlands noch Gang und Gebe ist in Form eines Tauscheshandels zu zahlen und es sich auch steurerlich "besser macht". Gibt viele + und - die man erörtern könnte.
Wollte im vorherigen Posting lediglich eine kurze, mögliche Erklärung abliefern.

[MarcBettinger]

Gewinne jetzt mitnehmen, oder ist noch mehr drin?

Was meint ihr?

[sauerback]

Was ist denn das für eine Frage, scusi, nicht persönlich gemeint, aber jeder sollte vor einer Investition wissen, wann er verkauft, sowohl wenn der Kurs fällt als auch wenn er steigt, je nach dem, in welchem Sektor man investiert ist, kann man den Rahmen gestalten.

[sauerback]

Entschuldige bitte Marc, ich hatte übersehen, dass Du der Begründer des Threads bist, weshalb Du eine ehrliche Antwort verdient hast, denn ohne Dich hätte ich Utair nie gefunden. Ob der erneuten massiven Erhöhung des Asks , gibt es wohl Nachfrage, da ich dem Chefe aber nicht ganz traue, würde ich meine ADRs im Falle des Haltens in Stammaktien umtauschen lassen, da die Russen mit ihren ausser russischen Aktionären bisweilen sehr sonderlich umgehen, was nur einen Anruf bei Deiner Bank benötigte. Aber auch ein Ausstieg sollte nicht ausser Acht gelassen werden, da Gewinne, Gewinne bleiben sollen. Es kann schliesslich auch sein, dass sich Surgutneftgaz die Mehrheit sichert und den Rest, insofern er nicht nur ADR Halter ist, ausbootet. Da offiziell immer noch nicht bekannt ist, in wie weit Surgutneftgaz (vermeintlich 48%) in Utair investiert ist, empfehle ich, was sonst nicht mein Fall ist, Halten, aber unbedingt umtauschen. Man muss davon ausgehen, dass durch die steigende Passagierzahl und das Engagement in Afrika sogar Geld in das Unternehmen fliessen werden, die aber nie zur Schuldentilgung verwendet werden. Hört sich komisch an, ist aber so

[MarcBettinger]

Vielen Dank!

Allerdings hab ich so meine Zweifel, ob mir meine Volksbank dabei helfen kann die ADRs in entsprechende Aktien umzutauschen *g*

Wenn ich das so durchziehe, wie bekomme ich die Aktie denn dann wieder los, schließlich werden in Deutschland meines Wissens nur die ADRs gehandelt?

Einen schönen Börsentag wünsche ich.

UTAIR TO BECOME MOSCOW AEROTAXI OPERATOR

19.08.2005

Khanty-Mansiysk – UTair Aviation (UTair Aviation, JSC) will become a partner in the Moscow government’s Aerotaxi project.

The Moscow mayor’s aviation adviser, hero of the Soviet Union Valery Menitsky, announced the start of the Aerotaxi project at the MAKS-2005 air show. The air transportation project over Moscow, between the city’s airports and within a radius of up to 600 kilometers from Moscow will be carried out with the support of the Moscow government, UTair and Atlant-Soyuz airlines and in partnership with Vnukovo International Airport.

It is planned to utilize the terrestrial infrastructure within the Moscow ring road as well as airports in the Moscow aviation hub and neighboring cities. Short-haul aircraft and helicopters will be employed to operate in the project. The program’s participants will impose special requirements for the safety of aircraft and terrestrial infrastructure facilities.

Only Class A helicopters will fly over Moscow. These machines have an increased power-to-weight ratio and are capable of flying even in the event of failure of one of the engines.

It is not by chance that UTair has been chosen as a partner to the program: the airline is Russia’s largest helicopter operator and ranks among the world leaders in the industry.

In addition, UTair, together with the Atlant-Soyuz company, is the Moscow government’s main partner in the Vnukovo development project, and makes over 40 domestic and international flights from the airport daily.

Transportation of passengers generated more than 65% of the airline’s revenue. Helicopter operations abroad and in Russia accounted for 18% and 12% respectively. The rest of the revenue came from various aviation services provided by the airline.

The breakdown of the company’s expenditures did not see any substantial changes. The purchase of fuel and combustive materials as well as aircraft maintenance still require the greatest expenditure.

UTair INTRODUCES 2005 FALL-WINTER SCHEDULE

08.11.2005

Khanty-Mansiysk – UTair Aviation (UTair Aviation JSC) has switched to the winter schedule as of October 30, 2005.

A new feature of the 2005 Fall-Winter season is an increased number of connecting flights, which allow passengers to fly to any destination on UTair’s map.

The following routes will be introduced by the airline: Kaliningrad-Baku, Moscow-Baku, Magnitogorsk-Khudzhant, Samara-Khudzhant and Orsk-Moscow. Alongside this, there will be more Kaliningrad-Moscow and St. Petersburg-Moscow flights, i.e. 2-3 per day.

In the new season, UTair is going to further develop transfer technologies in order to offer better ground services to its passengers. Among other things, such improvement of quality of service has become possible owing to interline agreements with other airline companies.

This is very convenient for transfer passengers: plane tickets are cheaper, and checked-in luggage is given to them at their final destination.

Transfer flight registration was introduced for passengers traveling from Tyumen to St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Kaliningrad via Moscow’s Vnukovo airport.

Passengers from Surgut and Khanty-Mansiysk will get to enjoy this service shortly as well. UTair expects further passenger traffic growth in the new season. According to preliminary estimates, it will have 1.9m passengers transported by the end of 2005.

On November 1, the airline introduced a new service for participants of the STATUS frequent flyer program. From now on, they can show their STATUS card and get a 10% discount in restaurants managed by UTair’s affiliate ZapSibCatering.

In addition, a new joint project with STATUS and the Yugorskaya Dolina (Yugorsk Valley) entertainment center in Khanty-Mansiysk is being prepared now. All its participants will be able to use their bonus points in Yugorskaya Dolina, when renting a hotel room, visiting the fitness center, etc. This will be just the beginning of a large-scale co-branding project for frequent passengers. At present, 56,000 people participate in the STATUS program, and 150 bonus tickets are issued every week.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2005 Fall-Winter season UTair will continue selling plane tickets on credit, a project that has been launched recently.

UTair’s passengers have an opportunity to obtain 10-month loans for RUR3,000-30,000 (about USD105-1,050) and buy plane tickets with a 10-percent initial payment.

Allen Lesern und Investierten einen guten Rutsch, und uns für 2006 eine ahnliche Performance wie 2005.

[chripaul]

Utair will nächstes Jahr 400Mill Rubel Nettogewinn erreichen, was 4 mal größer als 2005 sein soll. D.h. ca. 13,8Mill Dollar und mit Marktkapitalisierung aktuell 76,2Mill Dollar ergibt das ein KGV von ca. 5,5. Wenn die Umsatzsteigerung so ähnlich weitergeht sollte sich ein Investment bezahlt machen. Lufthansa hat übrigens ein KGV von 15 laut Comdirect.

[sauerback]

Na, dann warte mal die nächste Woche und die darauffolgenden ab, wenn Moskau wieder offen ist. Es gab in Moskau und in Deutschland im Dezember relativ sehr hohe Umsätze für UTAIR, was heißt, dass der Kurs in den folgenden Monaten entweder enorm steigen wird, oder aber dass Surgut sich die fehlenden 9% holt, was ich aber ausschliessen möchte und für mein Depot hoffe. Nächste Woche sind wir schlauer. Dachte eigentlich, dass Maz nicht mit den Regierenden könnte, bzw umgekehrt, aber die Unternehmensentwicklung spricht dagegen, wohingegen der Kurs wiederum gegen die Aktionäre spricht. Hört sich komisch an, ist aber so. Wir sind in Russland, und da war nur Ende und zu Beginn der Neunziger für Peanuts alles möglich. Nichts desto trotz bleibe ich standhaft und halte meine lecker grüne Position.

[sauerback]

Eines sei allerdings noch hinzugefügt: Lufthansa mit Utair zu vergleichen erachte ich als ein wenig unfugig, wenn Maz mit der Putingang klar kommt, wäre auch ein KGV von 150 theoretisch berechtigt, aber das ist momentan illusorisch! Die nächsten Gewinne mitnehmen und ATON verfolgen, ich gebe dann schon Bescheid.

[chripaul]

Ich sehe da noch einiges Potential für Utair, als Vergleich hab ich mir mal Aeroflot angeschaut. Utair will 2006 eine Nettogewinnmarge von 2,7% erreichen und Aeroflot hatte 2004 eine von 8% und da könnten wir noch einen schönen Kursanstieg sehen, wenn die Rentabilität gesteigert wird. Beim KGV liegt Utair auch noch hinten.

A note. The Mi-26T is the world’s largest heavy-lift helicopter capable of lifting cargo weighing up to 20 tons, either inside the cargo compartment or on an external sling, and transport them for distances of up to 800 kilometers. With maximum fuel load this helicopter can cover 1,800 kilometers.

UTair launches the ATR 42 in Russia following delivery of first two aircraft by ExelTech Aerospace

MONTREAL, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a small ceremony in Montreal, ExelTech Aerospace Inc. (TSX Venture: XLT), recently celebrated the handover of two ATR 42 regional turboprop aircraft to UTair (Nachrichten) Aviation, one of the fastest-growing private airlines in Russia.

Auch wenn ich sonst selten poste, wollte ich mich mal zu Wort melden. Die Tatsache, dass fast nur noch 100k Blocks in Moskau den Besitzer wechseln und in Deutschland alles gekauft wird, was zu Verkauf steht, insofern es nicht ausserhalb des RTS Rahmens läuft, lässt mich mehr und mehr in dem Glauben bestärken, dass jemand sich Anteile neu aneignet bzw Surgut sich den nötigen Teil bis zur absoluten Mehrheit aneignet. Vorteil ist, dass nur ein Bruchteil der existierenden Aktien in vaildem Besitz ist, weshalb der Kurs steigt und steigt und steigt ... D.h. geniessen, aber sobald die Nachricht, der Übernahme erscheint sollte man sich, insofern man Inhaber der Aktie ist, die in Deutschland gehandelt werden,mit dem Gedanken anfreunden, auch bei nur 50% bzw. 500% Gewinn sich von der Aktie zu trennen, aber bitte keine Panik, dies ist eine Sache, die mindestens einer Woche bedarf, und man noch genug Zeit zum Verkauf hat.
Es kann selbstredend auch der Fall der sein, dass die Aktie endlich einmal fair bewertet wird. Sollte dies der Fall sein, haben wir noch lecker Zeit und noch einen Haufen an %-ten vor uns.

Will nur sagen, mir wird unheimlich, da der Kurs steigt und steigt und ich nur meine schlechtesten Erfahrungen mit russischen Aktien in den letzten 12 Jahren anbringen möchte. Aber wie gesagt, ich bleibe drin und gebe Bescheid, wenn ich vor Ort bin ( am Rechner ),will sagen ohne Gewähr, aber seit meiner letzen Andeutung Ende 2005 sind wir schon a bissil gestiegen, insofern sollte es weiter gehen, wegen mir zumindest.

Mir kommt es so vor als wenn sich da irgendwas entwickelt (ausser der Kurs wie man sieht), seit November letzten Jahres sammelt einer oder mehrere so langsam und heimlich Anteile an UTair in Russland ein. Nach meiner bescheidenen Meinung sehe ich UTair mal so bis 50€ steigen und dann bleiben wir da hängen. Ich habe zumindestens ähnliche Erfahrungen mit Bank Vozrozhdenije gemacht die jetzt auch nach dem Kursanstieg sich um 25€ seit längerem bewegen. Die anderen Aktien aus der zweiten Reihe haben sich ja auch so ähnlich entwickelt. In ein paar Jahren könnten wir es dann vielleicht auch noch auf 100€ bringen, wenn UTair weiter so wächst.

Fast vergessen zu erhähnen wir sind heute in Russland auf 0,275 upss neues hoch 0,28 USD geklettert.

Report: Putin Approves Airline Merger

Combined Reports

Marina Lyscva / Itar-Tass

An Il-86, operated by KrasAir, parked by the terminal at Domodedovo Airport. The state owns 51 percent in the carrier.


President Vladimir Putin has approved the creation of a second national airline by combining five companies including KrasAir, Vedomosti reported Thursday, citing unidentified government officials.

The government would have less than a controlling stake in the holding company, called AiRUnion, which would include KrasAir, Domodedovo Airlines, Omskavia, Samara and Sibaviatrans, the newspaper reported, citing officials from two ministries.

KrasAir general director Boris Abramovich and companies connected with him would own the largest stake in the new company, the newspaper said. Abramovich was the architect of the plan, which is still opposed by the Federal Property Fund, the newspaper said.

The government is pressing state-controlled Aeroflot, Russia's largest airline, to buy other carriers in the country to double in size and expedite the consolidation of the domestic industry, Alexander Lebedev, who owns 31 percent of Moscow-based Aeroflot, said in March. Aeroflot will vote on acquisitions at its June board meeting.

The state owns 51 percent in KrasAir, 50 percent in Domodedovo Airlines and 46.5 percent in Samara, while Abramov and the structures connected to him control around 40 percent in KrasAir, 48.6 percent in Domodedovo Airlines, around 40 percent in Samara, around 70 percent in Omskavia and 100 percent in Sibaviatrans, according to Vedomosti.

The airlines started operating as an alliance of independent legal entities in late 2004 and have operated flights under the AiRUnion brand since last June.

There are currently over 185 airlines operating in Russia, but they are increasingly struggling to turn a profit and consolidation is seen as a way to increase competitiveness.

Some analysts have said AiRUnion could eventually replace Sibir as the country's No. 2 carrier. Sibir's revenue is expected to reach $900 million this year, while Aeroflot is forecast to rake in $2.5 billion, Vedomosti said.

AiRUnion members will earn $700 million this year, said the paper, citing Oleg Sudakov, an analyst with Rye, Man & Gor Securities.

Vielleicht ist ein Grund für den brutalen Kursanstieg, dass der Wert am Freitag Abend in der 3-sat-Börse in eins der Spieldepots aufgenommen wurde. Dem dazu gehörigen Fonds-Manager fiel auf die Frage, welche Risiken der Wert denn berge, nichts ein. UT air würde nur fallen, wenn der ganze Markt fallen würde und UT air in Sippenhaft genommen würde. Die Aktie selbst sei einfach unschlagbar. Bei soviel "Sicherheit" sind heute dann haufenweise Kleinanleger rein und raus und wieder rein. Wenn am Mittwoch in Moskau wieder gehandelt wird, wird die schöne kleine deutsche Blase platzen, was nicht heißt, dass der Wert Müll ist, nur die 30 dürfte er dann für einige Zeit zum letzten Mal gesehen haben.

Das wäre eine gute Erklärung, aber ist eine Sauerei des 3 SAT Bänkers, so einen volumenschwachen Wert dort zu empfehlen, vor allem rein zufällig an dem Freitag nachdem am folgenden Montag nicht in Moskau gehandelt wird. Darüberhinaus zieht die 3 SAT Börse doch dann auch noch immer eine Börsen Zeitung und zwei Internet "Investment" Empfehler nach oder vor sich; lese den Spaß nicht, dürfte aber dann dort wohl auch schon die ein oder andere Empfehlung gegeben haben?! Habe heute zumindest ein-, zweimal auf den Verkauf Button gedrückt, und wer weiß seit wann ich hier poste und wo damals der Kurs stand, möge mir das bitte verzeihen. Habe noch eine kleine Restposition, die mich auch weiterhin zum posten der Nachrichten bewegen wird.
Es bleibt zu vermerken, dass nur der Bruch mit dem Kreml die Aktie wieder unter die 20$ Marke bringen kann, wovon aber nicht auszugehen ist, und auch auf jedes Unternehmen in Russland zutrifft, womit der Bänker dann schon wieder fast recht gehabt hat.

UTair to increase net profit



RBC, 25.12.2006, Moscow 15:47:49.UTair Aviation, a Russian airline, is poised to increase its net profit in 2007 by 1.6 times to RUR645m (approx. USD24.53m) compared to 2006, the company's press office reported. UTair's revenue is projected to reach RUR22.718bn (approx. USD864m), which is 45.7 percent higher than estimated revenue for 2006. Operating profit is predicted to be RUR1.5bn (approx. USD57m).

The company plans to transport 3.45m passengers in 2007, which is 38 percent higher than in 2006, and to introduce 31 new destinations.

UTair moves to the European market
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helicopters of UTair Europe (subsidiary of UTair) will launch flights in the European sky soon. Expansion into new promising markets will make it possible for UTair to implement its ambitious business expansion plans and could positively impact the its stock valuations.

On December 26, 2006 UTair’s subsidiary UTair Europe was granted an authorization to operate flights in Europe. According to an official press release, headquarters and facilities of a new company will be located in an international airport of Peshtyany (Slovakia). It is expected that UTair Europe’s helicopters “will deliver various goods, perform mounting works and extinguish forest fires”, says UTair’s press release.

More than 60 UTair’s helicopters currently operate under export contracts in 10 countries all over the world, from the US to South Africa. UTair has opened its offices in Canada and Lebanon in 2006. Once UTair Europe obtains all the required licenses and its office in Peshtyany is registered, UTair could significantly boost its revenues from helicopter leasing services provided abroad which have the strongest margin among the company’s operations.

UTair’s 2007 business plan envisages a 25% spike in revenues from helicopter leasing services provided overseas. In our opinion, this figure is quite realistic, given robust growth prospects of the company’s representative offices opened this year.

We are extremely upbeat on the aggressive geographical expansion of UTair’s helicopter business and assign a Buy recommendation to the company’s shares with the target price of $0.74.

In view of the restrictions imposed on charter and taxi flights performed by a number of Russian air carriers including UTair (UTair Aviation JSC) to the European Union, by the joint regulation of the Federal Air Transport Agency and the Federal Supervision Service for Transport, starting from February 12, 2007, according to the information circulated by the Transportation Ministry of Russia, UTair’s press office has been instructed to voice the airline’s official stance.

In line with the Russian Transportation Ministry’s statement, the above restrictions on the activities of a number of Russian air carriers have been imposed “in order to avoid serious damage to Russia's image as a leading air power, as well as to enhance the security of flights,” and will remain effective until the airlines have addressed the criticisms raised by the European Commission Directorate for Transport.

The information of the EC Directorate for Transport suggests that from 2004 through 2006 some Russian airlines earned a lot of criticism during overhauls at European Union airports, and had been duly notified thereof. However, notwithstanding the established procedure, the airlines failed to advise Russia's Federal Supervision Service for Transport of the criticism as well as to take steps to overcome the flaws highlighted. Given that the flaws still exist and provide the European Commission with the premises to initiate the inclusion of these air carriers into the so-called ‘black list’, the Federal Supervision Service for Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency have taken preventive steps to restrict their operations in the European Union.

Such strict measures on the part of the Russian authorities appear to be rash and to disregard the actual state of affairs. In particular, as of February 12, 2007 UTair had had only one such survey report with two points of criticism, the first one regarding access to one of the emergency exits in a plane’s cabin, and the second one regarding the failure to log information about the airplane’s special characteristics in English.

The airline gave most careful consideration to both the points, and both of them have been found to be connected with the peculiarities of Russian airplanes and air regulations. One pair of emergency exits in the middle of the second cabin in the Tu-154M plane that was checked was indeed blocked by rows of seats. However, these are additional emergency exits in excess of airworthiness requirements, while all the required passages were absolutely accessible. As for the requirement to keep logbooks in English, they are also deemed superfluous. The Russian aviation regulations do not set forth special language requirements for aircraft documentation, including logbooks, for Russian operators. Russian is an official language of both the UN and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).

UTair is positive that having scrutinized the situation the Russian aviation authorities will lift the restrictions shortly, and join their efforts with the Russian airlines to expand the air transportation network in Russia and abroad.

As for our commitments to passengers and clients we undertake to meet them in full and in due time.
