Mail.ru Group CEO Dmitry Grishin noted that revenues from MMO-games and user payments for social services remained generally as planned. The current "economic and geopolitical situation" still affects the profit from display advertising, as well as the income of the company HeadHunter.

According to a press release from Mail.ru Group, the option program, which was launched after the company went public, was completed.

The transition period is 4 years. The program itself will last until the end of 2022.
