EY: Big loss may stop Russia’s AvtoVAZ business continuity

MOSCOW, Feb 12 (PRIME) -- The steep widening of a net loss of Russian car producer AvtoVAZ in 2015 can make the company unable to continue uninterrupted production, auditor Ernst & Young said in a note to the company’s financial report published Friday.

“Without changing the opinion about trustworthiness of the consolidated financial report, we warn that AvtoVAZ and its affiliates sustained losses amounting to 73.851 billion rubles in 2015 and their short-term debt exceeded working assets by 67.78 billion rubles as of December 31, 2015,” the auditor said.

The figures were calculated under International Financial Reporting Standards. The loss tripled as compared with 2014, AvtoVAZ reported.

“These conditions in combination with other circumstances point to the existence of significant uncertainty in the ability of AvtoVAZ and its affiliates to continue their activities uninterruptedly,” Ernst & Young said.
