* EBITDA and net profit for 2014 are indicated with adjustments on the loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment recognized in the structure of operating expenses.

EBITDA is calculated as profit before tax + depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets + finance expenses – finance income  

Net debt is calculated as long-term and short-term borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as at the end of the period.

In the calculation of Net debt/EBITDA, the value of Net debt is used as at the end of the reporting period, the value of EBITDA - for the last 12 months.

Revenue

Revenue from electricity transmission net of normal (expected) technological losses for 6M2016 amounted to RUB 17,316 mln, minus 5% compared with the same period of 2014 (RUB 18,185 mln). The Company received most of the revenue from its consumers: PJSC Petersburg Sales Company and LLC RSK-Energo.

The decrease in revenue is largely due to the growth of technological losses by 33% for 6M2015 compared with the same period of 2014, which was primarily the result of changes in the method for determining the volume of electricity supplied to the Lenenergo grid. Introduction from 01.07.2014 of the AIMS (Automated Information and Measuring System) allowed determining the actual level of supply to the network, which led to a sharp increase in the supply of electric power to Lenenergo networks.

Revenue from technological connection for the six months ending 30 June 2105 decreased by 14% compared with the same period of 2014 and totaled RUB 1,423 mln. The drop in revenue from technological connection accompanied by increased connected capacity by 20 MW (plus 15%) compared with the 6 months of 2014 is due to the implementation in 2015 of obligations under the contracts concluded at lower tariff rates.

Other income were up 19% from the previous year’s level and reached RUB 1,228 mln.

Costs

Operating expenses of the Group in the reporting period were RUB 18,834 mln, up 14% from the previous year’s level.

Comments on the dynamics of key cost items:

  • Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The growth of depreciation expenses by 25% was caused by the increased book value of property, plant and equipment due to commissioning of fixed assets as a result of implementation of the investment program.

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

A significant increase in the provision for impairment of receivables in 1H 2015 compared with the same period of 2014 was due to the deteriorating financial position of some large consumers.

·         Provision for litigations and claims

The increase in the provision was due to the assessment of recognition of potential risks of expenses on disagreements regarding determining the volume and cost of services in electric power transmission through networks of a number of third-party grid organizations. The main point of disagreements is the type of tariffs used in calculations and the absence of agreed essential conditions of the contracts for electric power transmission stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Lenenergo intends to defend its position in court. Final judicial practice in similar controversies for the date of the report has not been yet defined. The Company’s management decided to evaluate the possible risks and to form necessary provisions.

We expect that judicial decisions on claims will be made no later than the second half of 2015.

Financial result

The Group of Lenenergo made an operating profit of RUB 1,518 mln for 6M2015 (minus 8% to same period of 2014).

Net loss for the reporting period amounted to RUB 3,296 mln (for 6M2014 2013 the Group earned net profit in the amount of RUB 330 mln). The increase in net loss was influenced by higher operating expenses (largely due to the establishment of various reserves), as well as the growth of the negative balance of financial income and expenses compared with the same period of 2014, which was mainly the result of the increase in interest expense on loans (RUB 2,138 mln) and the recognition of impairment losses in financial investments (in the amount of RUB 226 mln).

EBITDA for 6M2015 totaled RUB 1,457 mln, which is 64% lower than the same indicator for 6M2014.

Debt position

Credit portfolio (short-term and long-term borrowings of the Company for the end of the reporting period) was RUB 48,342 mln, 3% lower than the same indicator for the end of 2014. Net debt as at 30.06.2015 was RUB 41,811 mln (minus 5% to the same indicator for the end of 2014). Net debt/EBITDA amounted to 3.85 for the end of the reporting period.

The weighted average credit rate amounted to 10.22% as at 30.06.2015.

Bonds

For the six months of 2015, the Group has fully executed its obligations on payment of coupon yield on the sixth coupon of the bonded loan of a series 04 for RUB 127 mln and on the 4th coupon of the bonded loan of a series BO-01 for RUB 123 mln. In April 2015, the Company has successfully passed the offer on the bonded loan of a series 04.

Forward-looking statement regarding expected results 2015:

Due to the deteriorating financial performance of Lenenergo by the end of 2014, the Group has prepared the Plan of actions to increase efficiency and improve the economic and financial position of Lenenergo, which includes the following activities undertaken by the Company in 2015 and subsequent periods:
