Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization amounted to $1,092 mln. Most of the operating efficiency figures indicate that positive trends, achieved in 2000, were maintained.

Positive financial results of LUKOIL in the 1st quarter 2001 were, to a considerable extent, secured by the further improvement in operating performance.
