Methodology • IMS Indexes are calculated by Cherkizovo Group (Cherkizovo) for informational purposes only. In Cherkizovo’s analysts opinion, they are important for understanding market dynamics but are not intended as investment advice. • Industrial Supply of Meat includes industrial production, import and export of meat. Official statistics are used in calculation. Live and product weights are converted to carcass weight. Some exported meat parts are excluded from calculation as by-products. • The exact formulas of the Indexes should be considered as Cherkizovo’s intellectual property and are not public. • The Indexes may be adjusted retrospectively as the input data may be recalculated by Federal State Statistics Service. Apart from that, insignificant percentages (<1%) of the indexes are estimated as there is no official information on the date of publication.
