 gThe
Company made a profit of 12.7 billion rubles in 2019, which is a
1.2-fold increase on our year-ago profit. This is primarily due to a
rise in revenue from electricity distribution. The high operating
results allowed us to continue our efforts to reduce the debt burden
and improve the equity ratio.h -
Aleksey Polinov Deputy CEO, Economic Affairs and Finance
 Lenenergo
 Notes
to the Operating Results Net
electricity supply increased by 0.2% in 2019 on 2018, largely due to: ¡     
Higher
household consumption, with industrial consumption remaining the same
as in 2018. The
decrease of 0.52 percentage points in electricity losses is due to
carrying out the electricity loss reduction program, which includes
measures to modernize the electricity metering system and detect
unbilled and noncontractual electricity consumption. Notes
to the Financial Results PJSC
Lenenergo (gRosseti Lenenergoh) posted revenue of 82,371
million rubles in 2019, including: 75,696
million rubles of electricity distribution revenue in 2019, or
an increase of 10.0% (6,889 million rubles) on 2018, due to a rise in
electricity consumption and higher tariffs resulting from regional
regulators providing compensation for accumulated lost income and
lost tariff-based revenue (gsmoothing mechanismh). 6,242
million rubles of network connection revenue in 2019, or 11.7%
(824 million rubles) lower than in the prior year, due to the
fulfillment of obligations to large requesting entities in 2018,
including providing an electricity connection for the Lakhta Center
multifunctional complex. 433
million rubles of other revenue in 2019, or 25.0% (144 million
rubles) lower than in 2018, mainly because of decreased grid
equipment maintenance services resulting from the transfer of Saint
Petersburg Power Gridfs street lighting facilities to Lensvet under
an equipment swap contract. Rosseti
Lenenergofs cost of sales totaled 58,279 million rubles in
the reporting period, or 1.8% (1,027 million rubles) up on 2018,
largely due to increases in depreciation and amortization, expenses
associated with FGC UES services, and electricity purchased for
compensation for electricity losses alongside lower prices of
electricity distribution services provided by outside territorial
grid organizations. Rosseti
Lenenergo earned a net profit of 12,705 million rubles in the
reporting period, or 22.3% up on the prior year, because of a rise in
revenue from electricity distribution services. Rosseti
Lenenergo posted EBITDA of 30,546 million rubles in the
reporting period, which is a 16.0% increase on the year-earlier
period, primarily due to a rise in revenue from electricity
distribution services. Principal
