Revenue

In 2015, revenue decreased by 1% to RUB 107,099 mn as compared to RUB 108,478 mn for 2014. The underlying factors behind the change in revenue were:

  • decrease in production and electricity output by hydropower plants of PJSC RusHydro as a result of: a) low water level in the basin of the Angara-Yenisey cascade; b) lower than long-run average water inflow and water reserves in reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade in the 1st half of 2015;

  • increase in “day-ahead” prices in the 2nd pricing zone due to decrease in electricity generation by hydropower plants and higher load of fossil fuel fired power plants;

  • increase in capacity sales following partial liberalization of hydro capacity market in the second price zone from May 1, 2014[iii].

Major factors of change in operating expenses were (among the highest constituent expenses):

  • decrease in purchased electricity and capacity as a result of: a) lower consumption of electricity and capacity for own needs due to decrease in electricity output; b) lower consumption of electricity for own needs of PSPPs; c) decrease in purchased electricity for sale under free bilateral agreements due to lower sales under these contracts;

  • increase in depreciation and property tax as a result of commissioning of new fixed assets as well as reconstruction and modernization of operating assets;

  • decrease in labor expenses after headcount optimization during 2015.

[i] EBITDA calculated as gross profit before depreciation.

[ii] Net profit adjusted for the mark-to-market revaluation of listed equity stakes, provisions for financial investments and other assets impairment, provisions for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable and other, estimated liabilities. This indicator is not reported in the official financial statements under RAS and has been calculated and put into the press release for reference.

[iii] According to the decree of the government of the Russian Federation No. 374 of April 28, 2014, “On amendments to the Regulations of wholesale electricity and capacity market in terms of special aspects of participation of gencos, owners of hydropower plants located in the 2nd pricing zone, in the wholesale market” from May 1, 2014 till December 31, 2015, 35% of capacity of the hydropower plants located in the 2nd pricing zone is sold at the regulated tariffs based on the results of the competitive capacity auctions (KOM). Actual decrease in capacity sale price of KOM is related to decrease in capacity tariff of the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP in the 2nd half of 2013 from RUB 86,825.85 per MW to RUB 35,955.02 per MW.
