In 2012, the Company's revenue decreased by 2.0% y-o-y and amounted to RUB 621.6 bn (FY 2011: RUB 634.6 bn. The decline was due to the decrease of the uniform tariff for electricity distribution related to the revision of long-term regulation parameters (including RAB).
Operating expenses totaled RUB 574.2bn, representing a decline by 0.5% y-o-y (FY 2011: RUB 577.2 bn), mainly due to the decrease in expenses for purchasing electricity to compensate for technological losses and the revision of the unregulated price cap.

As of 31 December 2012, net cash flows used in investing activities amounted to RUB 153.0 bn, a growth of 25.6% y-o-y (FY 2011: RUB 121.8 bn) as a result of continued investments in the development of the distribution grid network including the increase in acquisition of property, plant and equipment, as well as placement of bank deposits. Capital expenditures increased by 1.6% y-o-y totaling RUB 141.6 bn (FY 2011: RUB 139.4 bn).
As of 31 December 2012, total assets of the Company grew by 10.7% y-o-y to RUB 972.7 bn (FY 2011: RUB 879.1 bn) as a result of the increase in property, plant and equipment related to the execution of the investment programme.

Net debt totaled RUB 193.2bn compared to RUB148.9bn in 2011, while the net debt / EBITDA ratio amounted to 1,6ő(2011: 1,3ő). The increase in net debt was due to additional loans and borrowings for financing the investment programme.
In 2012, the Company's cash balances stood at RUB 35.7 bn (FY 2011: RUB 48.9 bn). The decline was mainly due to the placement of funds on deposits classified as short-term current assets.
