Net sales of gas increased by RUB 441,872 million, or 15%, to RUB 3,427,257 million, for the year ended Dectember 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Net sales of gas to Europe and Other countries increased by RUB 413,353 million, or 24%, to RUB 2,165,500 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. This was mainly driven by the increase in volumes of gas sold by 16%, or 25.0 bcm, and the increase in average Russian Ruble price (including customs duties) by 12%.

Net sales of gas to Former Soviet Union countries increased by RUB 17,938 million, or 4%, to RUB 429,660 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The change was due to the increase in average Russian Ruble prices (including customs duties) by 18%, that was partially compensated by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 16%, or 7.8 bcm.

Net sales of gas in the Russian Federation decreased by RUB 14,952 million, or 2%, to RUB 805,615 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the the year ended December 31, 2014. This is primarily explained by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 5%, or 12.8 bcm.

Operating expenses increased by RUB 691,833 million, or 18%, to RUB 4,635,502 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

The increase in operating expenses is explained by an increase in a number of items such as:

“Purchased gas and oil” – an increase by RUB 255,749 million due to an increase in expences for gas as a result of the change in the scope of consolidation related to the completion of the Swap Agreement between PJSC Gazprom and Wintershall Holding GmbH;

“Transit of gas, oil and refined products” – an increase by RUB 134,942, or 34%, mainly due to higher foreign currency exchange rate of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble. Moreover, the change in foreign currency exchange rates in the reporting period resulted in a decrease in income disclosed in the line item “Foreign exchange rate differences on operating items” by RUB 217,857 million, or 89%.

The net amount of foreing exchange rate differences disclosed in “Net finance loss” resulted to a loss of RUB 464,049 million for the year ended December 31, 2015; for the prior year the loss amounted to RUB 1,070,971. In the reporting period the appreciation of US Dollar against the Russian Ruble was by 30%, the appreciation of Euro against the Russian Ruble by 17% compared to the appreciation of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble by 72% and 52%, respectively, for the prior year.

Profit attributable to owners of PJSC Gazprom for the year ended December 31, 2015 totaled RUB 787,056 million which is RUB 628,052 million, or 5 times more than for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Net debt balance (defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term borrowings, short-term promissory notes payable, long-term borrowings, long-term promissory notes payable, net of cash and cash equivalents and balances of cash and cash equivalents restricted as to withdrawal under the terms of certain borrowings and other contractual obligations) increased by RUB 432,487 million, or 26%, from RUB 1,650,633 million as of December 31, 2014 to RUB 2,083,120 million as of December 31, 2015. This increase mainly resulted from changes in foreign currency exchange rates (appreciation of US Dollar and Euro).
