Revenue and financial result

Group’s revenue

Sales revenue for 6M2017 was RUB 29,742 mln, +15.4% y-o-y (6M2016: RUB 25,780 mln).

·         The growth of revenue from electricity transmission services for 6M2017 versus 6M2016 is explained by the increase in the tariff rates in 2017 against 2016 and inclusion of consumers of the ex-responsibility area of JSC SPb ES in the amount of productive supply.

·         The growth of revenue from technological connection services for 6M2017 y-o-y (6M2016) is explained by performance of obligations towards applicants; such obligations include the works performed by Lenenergo at the end of 2016, but the close of such obligations under the contract and issuance of technological connection reports were carried out upon the applicants’ readiness in 6M2017.

·         Fall in revenue from other activity for 6M2017 versus 6M2016 by 31.3% is due to the reduction in income under compensation contracts by 86.4%.

Group’s operating expenses

Operating expenses of the Group for the reporting period were RUB 22,817 mln, +7.1% y-o-y (6M2016).

Comments concerning the dynamics of the most essential cost items:

·         Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Growth of costs for property, plant and equipment depreciation by 22.3% was due to the increase in their book value as a result of commissioning property, plant and equipment in 2016 in the amount of RUB 20,643 mln.

·         Payroll and payroll taxes

Growth of payroll expenses by 18.7% was caused by the personnel optimization within the framework of the consolidation of business processes of the Group PJSC Lenenergo.

·         Depreciation of intangible assets

Fall in costs for intangible assets depreciation by 83.9% was due to the decrease in the depreciation of the intangible assets “Income-bearing contracts”, which were recognized in the consolidated statements regarding such companies as JSC SPb ES and JSC PES at the time of their acquisition. The major part of the income-bearing contracts was depreciated in 2016.

·         Provision / (provision reversal) for receivables impairment and write-off

Fall in the expenses for the creation of the provision for receivables impairment and write-off by 42.4% is explained mainly by the decrease in the amount of the doubtful receivables requiring the creation of the provision.

·         Provisions for court proceedings and claims

Fall in expenses for court proceedings and claims by 35.6% is due to the reversal of the earlier created provision for the litigations settled in favor of the Group.

·         Expenses in the form of fines, penalty fees, forfeits

Increase in the expenses in the form of fines, penalty fees, forfeits by 1,102.8% is mainly due to the recognition, in 6M2017, of the fine equaling RUB 303 mln, as agreed with Russia’s Energy Ministry.

·         Other operating expenses

Increase in other operating expenses by 118.3% is mainly due to the growth of the item of the services of technological connection to the grids (420%), growth of other costs under the contracts with the companies of the Group Rosseti (96%).

The debt on interest fell due to the decrease in the interest rate on the exchange-traded bonds of series BO-05 following the results of the completion of offers on 23.01.2017, as well as the work performed in the first half of 2017 in order to optimize the credit portfolio and minimize the expenses for the debt servicing in the form of the reduction in the interest rates on current debt and refinancing of the credits in order to decrease interest rates.

Net debt for 6M2017 was RUB 20,964 mln, -13.0% to the similar indicator at the end of 2016. The reduction in the net debt was due to the decrease in the credit portfolio amount of the Group when cash and cash equivalent increased.
