 Comments on the dynamics of the most significant cost items:

 ·        Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The cumulative effect of reducing the item Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets by 4.1% was caused by a decrease in depreciation costs of intangible assets for 2017 and a simultaneous increase in depreciation costs of property, plant and equipment.

 - Reduction of the expenses for depreciation of intangible assets by RUB 1,295 mln was due to the fact that a large part of depreciated intangible assets belonging to the group of Profitable contracts that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the companies of JSC SPb EN and JSC PES at the time of purchase was depreciated in 2016.

- The increase in depreciation costs of property, plant and equipment by RUB 740 mln was due to an increase in their book value as a result of the commissioning of property, plant and equipment in 2017 for RUB 30,835 mln.

·        Expenses for employee benefits

Increased expenses for employee benefits by 11.6% occurred in connection with the indexation (from 01.09.2016 – by 2.2% and from 01.07.2017 – by 4.7%), and the alignment of salaries within the consolidation of SDCs on the basis of grid assets of PJSC Lenenergo.

·        Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was measured as of 31 December 2017 on the basis of independent appraisers ' reports. As of 31 December 2017, an impairment loss for RUB 7,061 mln was recognised in the CGU St. Petersburg as a result of testing, as well as income from the recovery of the loss of previous years for RUB 191 mln in the IA Access permission.

·        Reserves

The increase in expenses on court cases and claims by 63.5% was due to the creation of a reserve in part of a future settlement of litigation not in favour of the Group.

·        Impairment of accounts receivable

The recovery of the provision for impairment of accounts receivable was due to a decrease in the number of bad accounts receivable that require provision.

 Net debt at the end of 2017 amounted to RUB 33,493 mln, which is 39.03% higher than in 2016. The increase in Net debt was due to an increase in the loan portfolio, as well as due to the cash outflow from investment activities.
