* Some financial indicators for the year 2012 were re-calculated under new IFRS standards that were put into effect

** Revenue from electricity transmission was calculated excl. normative (expected) losses

*** Increase in net debt was calculated at the end of 2012

Total revenues of JSC Lenenergo Group of Companies for the six months ended 30 June 2013 made RUB 13,806 mln that is 10.1 % lower than a similar indicator for 6M 2012.

Revenues from electricity transmission for the six months ended 30 June 2013 excluding normative grid losses in the amount of RUB 2,680 mln (for the six months ended 30 June 2012 – RUB 2,550 mln) totalled RUB 11,357 mln which is 1.1 % less as compared with 6M 2012.

Revenues from grid connections for the six months ended 30 June 2013 decreased by 56.9% in comparison with the similar period of 2012 and made RUB 1,328 mln that is caused by decrease in the volume (power) of connections and decrease in number of new property contracts (in 1H 2013 grid connections services were paid in the form of transfer of fixed assets objects which totalled RUB 31 mln, in 1H 2012 - RUB 70 mln).

Other income in 6M2013 totalled RUB 1,121 mln that is 40.5% above the similar period of 2012 (RUB 798 mln). Other income of the Group is primarily created due to income from non-contractual electricity consumption.

Prime Cost

Comments on dynamics of key operating expenses items:

        Decrease in the most significant item of expenditures - cost of electricity transmission by 20.5% compared to the same period of 2012 is caused by a high reduction in transmission costs in grids of LOESK, which has signed a direct contract with a guarantee supplier.

        Decrease in expenses of fixed assets depreciation by 6.9 % was due to the write-down of fixed assets recognized in prior periods.

    Cost of repair and maintenance services increased by 23.6 % due to implementation of the intensive repair program, designed to maintain equipment and electrical networks in proper condition.

    Growth of payroll and payroll taxes by 17.3 % is due to increased number of employees by 2%, indexation of wages, rising costs for pension obligations in connection with application of the new IFRS 19.

     Growth of taxes, other than income tax, by 197.7 % is caused by increase in the cost of property tax due to changes in the property tax rate and cancelation of tax break on power grid facilities.

For the first half of 2013 the Group of companies Lenenergo got operational profit of RUB 1,727 mln that is lower than the same indicator of last year by 32.3%, net profit for the reporting period totalled RUB 582 mln.
