According to table 1 there is a conclusion that net cash flows provided by oper-
ating activities reduced by 13% during the considered period. However, in 2014 we
could see a growth by 11%. The year 2015 turned out to be one the worst over the
previous 3 years for the retailer being the cause of almost 22% decline in net cash
flows. This fact has quite easy and logic explanation. The middle of 2014 became a
horrible time for Russian citizens and ended up causing tremendous devaluation of
the national currency that seriously influenced the real income of the people. Conse-
quently, it has deeply influenced the major financial indicators not only of «Magnit»,
but also other retailers. The fall of the total domestic demand and the high inflation
have caused a negative impact on «Magnit’s» business activity. But, despite this is-
sue, the company is still capable of surviving and well operating under these unfortu-
nate circumstances because it possesses the largest sales network in the country and a
pretty good profit margin.

Net cash flows provided by investing activities increased during the 2013-
2015 year period by 45%. However, that was not accomplished by any additional
gains, but reducing costs. One of the most important investing indicators – purchas-
ing of property, plant and equipment, decreased by 44%. One of the major activities
of «Magnit» is renting their own non-residential premises. Renters, being highly
troubled by decline of the living standard of the people, and, consequently, decline of
the payable demand, are forced to ask for serious reduction of rental rates or to close
