Recommendation
The enterprise shows a stable growth profile: revenue grew 23.3% over the year on real operating activity, profit on sales rose to 111,025, and operating cash flow grew almost sevenfold to 74,561 (a 5.1% margin).
Recommendation: Privatization — handing a stable, cash-generating enterprise into private management while observing social-protection guarantees and preserving the line of business. Taken together, the metrics point to a financially healthy, growing and solvent asset for which retaining state control is not critical from a sector standpoint.
Why privatization. Liquidity (1.45) is above the declared criterion, own-working-capital provision is positive (0.20), total credit load fell 3.2% over the year, and equity is steadily positive and independent of revaluation. Against this backdrop there is moderate pressure on profitability — sales and net margins fell by roughly 1.2–1.4 pp amid faster-rising labour costs. This pressure does not undermine financial stability.
Confidence: HIGH. All 6 cross-form consistency checks pass.
