Analysts had been forecasting net profit of 64 billion roubles, according to a Reuters poll.
‘From the net profit side everything looks good,’ said Olga Veselova, banking analyst at Troika Dialog.
Sberbank has previously forecast that its profit figures, calculated to international accounting standards, would reach 125-135 billion roubles in the full-year 2008 despite the financial crisis.
But in the results for the first half, it warned of the possible impact of the crisis on cash flows.
‘The worsening economic conditions for borrowers may impact the outlook for cash flows as well as the valuations of the Group's financial and non-financial assets,’ the banks said.
‘The current situation may also affect the Group's chances of securing new loans and of refinancing existing loans in time and under the same terms,’ it said.
Following is a table of the main financial indicators from the results for the first six months of 2008 (in billions of roubles):
