“Amid
warm winter weather and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s
management takes every effort to minimize their adverse impact on the
supply reliability and financial stability of the Company. Net profit
earned in the 1st quarter of 2020 is comparable to the year-ago
period.”

Notes
to the Financial Results
Rosseti
Lenenergo posted revenue of 21,598 million rubles, including:
20,947
million rubles of electricity distribution revenue, or an increase of
3.1% (630 million rubles) year on year, due to higher tariffs,
however below the target due to lower electricity consumption
resulting from warm winter weather and the pandemic.
583
million rubles of network connection revenue, or 21.6% (161 million
rubles) lower than in the prior year, due to the settlement of
accrued liabilities of Petrodvorets Electric Company and Saint
Petersburg Power Grid, which were transferred to Rosseti Lenenergo as
part of the grid asset consolidation in the 1st quarter of 2019.
15,724
million rubles of operating expenses, or an increase of 7.6% (1,114
million rubles) year on year, primarily due to provisioning,
including provisioning for litigation and tax risks (no provisioning
in the 1st quarter of 2019).
Rosseti
Lenenergo earned a net profit of 4,954 million rubles in the
reporting period, about the same as in the prior year, or 0.7% (34
million rubles) up year on year.
Rosseti
Lenenergo posted EBITDA of 9,365 million rubles in the reporting
period, which is a decrease of 3.7% from the year-earlier period,
primarily due to estimated reserves.
