Bashkirenergo publishes financial results for 6 months of 2011
September 6, 2011, Ufa (Russian Federation, Republic of Bashkortostan) -
OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' (MICEX, RTS: BEGY, ISIN: RU0009044242) - publishes
consolidated financial statements for six month ended 30 June, 2011
prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Following the decision approved by the Board of Directors of OJSC 'BE' to
sell electricity retail business, all operations of LLC ESKB were presented
in a separate line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
'Profit from the discontinued operations' in compliance with IFRS. As a
result, operations of sales and purchases of electricity and capacity
between the companies of the Group and LLC ESKB were reflected in revenue
and operational expenses in the consolidated financial statements.
Considering the fact that before January 1, 2011 OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' had
the status of the guaranteeing provider (retail company) with LLC ESKB
acting only as an agent, revenue and operational expenses for 2010 became
incomparable with 2011 results after reclassification of the LLC ESKB
results.
KEY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
- The Company's revenue for the first six months of 2011 is decreased by
6% to 29,385 mln RUR (1,027 mln USD) compared to the same period of
2010.

(136 mln USD).
- OIBDA was 5,627 mln RUR (197 mln USD) or 16% higher comparing the same
period last year.
- Net profit from continuing operations increased by 28% to 3,001 mln RUR
(105 mln USD) compared to 2010 results.
- Net profit for the period amounted to 3,332 mln RUR (116 mln USD)
increased by 40%.
- OIBDA margin changed from 16% to 19%.
- As at June 30, 2011 the Company's financial debt amounted to 2,433 mln
RUR, with debt/OIBDA ratio at the level of 0.43.
KEY OPERATING RESULTS:
- OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' total power generation in the first six months of
2011 was 11,476 mln kWh, gaining 4.3% year-over-year.
- The capacity factor of OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' power stations rose to 62%
(an increase of 5.6 b.p. compared to first six months of 2010).
- Heat output of the Company amounted to 13,956 thousand Gcal matching
the results of 2010.
- The specific consumption of equivalent fuel decreased by 2.5 g/kWh for
electricity generation to 316.7 g/kWh, and by 1 kg/Gcal for heat output
to 142.8 kg/Gcal compared to the same period last year.
- The transmitted electricity losses in the first six months of 2011
increased from 1.45% to 1.49% in the transmission grid, with
distribution grid losses increasing from 9.14% to 9.47%.
Andrey Makarov, CEO of OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' commenting the financial
results of the first six months of 2011 has stated: 'OJSC 'Bashkirenergo'
both in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2011 demonstrated
strong financial and operational results. Despite this year solid financial
performance of LLC ESKB the management and main shareholders of OJSC
'Bashkirenergo' forecast that electricity and heat generation and
transmission businesses are to become the Company's main profit making
activities. This position was declared in the Company's Strategy, adopted
by the Board of Directors on August 31, 2011. I also consider the adopted
in the Strategy measures of making the heat business profitable by 2013
will make a positive contribution to financial results and the Company's
value in the nearest future.'
RESULTS OVERVIEW
The second quarter of 2011 brought substantial increase of the OJSC
'Bashkirenergo' power output with an 8% growth of power generation to the
same period last year, providing for a 4% rise of power output in the first
six months of 2011. The Unified Power System of the Russian Federation in
the first half of the year increased its power generation by only 1,8% with
OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' share in the total Russian power output reaching
2,19%.
The rise in power prices at the Karmanovskaya GRES delivery point of the
wholesale electricity market as well as the hike in power output by
Pavlovskaya hydroplant due to the water inflow at the Pavlovskaya water
reservoir were the main reasons for the growth in electricity production.
Within the scope of government-backed measures to reduce electricity prices
for ultimate consumers the State tariffs committee of the Republic of
Bashkortostan retroactively revised the tariffs for electricity
transmission in 2011. However the tariffs revision had little if any effect
on the Company's financial results for the six months of 2011.
On June 15, 2011 OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' and OJSC 'Power Machines' signed an
agreement to cease all the mutual legal claims in accordance with which
OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' settled all the payments amounting to 2,113 mln RUR
for the gas-turbine, steam-gas, and generator equipment produced for SGU
CHP-5 in Ufa.
The Annual General Shareholders Meeting of OJSC 'Bashkirenergo', assembled
on June 24, 2011 decided to distribute 1,085 mln RUR in form of dividends,
and 472 mln RUR to transfer for investment projects. OJSC 'Bashkirenergo'
fully met its obligation by paying all the dividends in due course of 0.944
RUR per ordinary share and 2.01 RUR per one preference share.
The AGM also elected the new Board of Directors with 8 members representing
JSFC 'Sistema', three members representing INTER RAO UES, one member from
the Ministry of Energy of Russia, and one member from minority
shareholders.

Revenue reduction in the statements for the six months of 2011 is result of
reclassification of all operations of LLC ESKB into the separate line
'Profit from the discontinued operations' due to the decision made to sell
the retail company.
The financial result of 2011 became incomparable with 2011 even with
reclassification of LLC ESKB results since before January 1, 2011 OJSC
'Bashkirenergo' had the status of a guaranteeing provider (retail company)
with LLC ESKB acting as a retail agent.
OPERATING EXPENSES
The decision to sell the retail company mostly impacted amount of purchased
electricity and capacity which decreased by 70% to 1,992 mln RUR (70 mln
USD), and the electricity transmission costs showing a 119% growth to 1,137
mln RUR (40 mln USD).
Fuel costs for 6 months of 2011 representing 54% of total operating
expenses increased 12% to 13,783 mln RUR (482 mln USD) and were driven by
a 15% gas price indexation, as well as by a 4% rise in power output by
thermal power plants. The slower growth pace of fuel costs compared to gas
price hike is explained by the reduction in specific consumption of
equivalent fuel.
Fixed costs which represent 33% of total operating expenses amounted to
8,299 mln RUR (290 mln USD). During the six months ended 30 June, 2011 it
decreased by 3% mostly due reduction of provisions for tax and legal
contingencies and allowances for doubtful receivables.
Staff costs being the largest item of fixed costs (17% of total operating
expenses) rose by 7% against the first six months of 2010 to 4,210 mln RUR
(147 mln USD).
Repair and maintenance together with costs of materials and spare parts (6%
of operating expenses) were 1% lower than in the same period last year
amounting to 1,441 mln RUR (50 mln USD) mostly due to a 34% cut in
expenditure on material and spare parts.
Other operating expenses dropped by 51% to 570 mln RUR (20 mln USD).
FINANCIAL POSITION
As of the balance sheet date, the total assets of OJSC 'Bashkirenergo'
amounted to 63,162 mln RUR (2,250 mln USD).
The share of non-current assets exceeded 84% of total assets and amounted
53,060 mln RUR (1,890 mln USD), while the share of current assets was 16%
or 10,103 mln RUR (360 mln USD). During the first six months of non-current
assets increased by 3% as a result of 7% increase in property, plant and
equipment due to new commissioning and increase of construction
in-progress. The expected disposal of LLC ESKB would lead to the reduction
of current assets by 2,453 mln RUR (87 mln USD) and current liabilities by
1,474 mln RUR (52 mln USD).
Capital and reserves made up 82% of the total equity and liabilities
amounting to 52,091 mln RUR (1,855 mln USD). By the end of the six months
of 2011 the Company's financial debt increased to 2,433 mln RUR (87 mln
USD) mainly due to a three-year loan for the construction of a new power
station SGU CHP-5 obtained from Sberbank. As at December 31, 2011 financial
debt of the Company amounted to 160 mln RUR.
The free cahsh flow dropped by 28% to 2,442 mln RUR (85 mln USD) mostly due
to CAPEX increase by 179%. It is also worth mentioning a 1,211 mln RUR (86
vln USD)increase of trade and other payables positively impacting the FCFF.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Investment programs in the first six months of 2011 increased by 179% and
amounted to 3,735 mln RUR, compared to the same period last year.
On April 27, 2011 Zauralskaya CHP saw the commissioning of a GTES-16PA (on
the basis of a jet engine) a 16 MW power unit with a water-heating
boiler-utilizer 19.5 Gcal/h of heat capacity.
On April 29 the Board of Directors approved the decision to resume the
construction of the SGU CHP-5 in Ufa (440 MW, 290 Gcal/h) with the total
project cost of 14 bln RUR. The commissioning of the new capacities is
planned in 2013.
June 23, 2011 saw a successful completion of comprehensive testing of the
new SGU-60 unit at CHP-2 of Ufa which resulted in the permission to launch
the unit into production. With this commissioning the electric capacity of
the CHP-2 of Ufa will increase by 47 MW, and the heat capacity will rise by
35 Gcal/h. From Septrmber 1, 2011 the new unit started the power and
capacity supply to the Wholesale electricity and capacity market.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
The Russian Government by its decision from 18.08.2011 set up the price-cap
for capacity price at the Competitive selection of capacity for 2012 at the
level of 2011.
On September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of JSC 'RusHydro' summed up the
negotiation process by deciding to approve the deal of purchasing the LLC
'Energeticheskaya Sbytovaya Kompaniya Bashkortostana' part of the Group
OJSC 'Bashkirenergo'. The deal is expected to be finalized in September
2011.
The sale of the retail company of the Bashkirenergo Holding is mostly
dictated by the legislation requirement obliging to separate generation,
distribution and retail businesses. Moreover, shareholders and the Company
management having considered the limited growth potential of the retail
business in the environment where major power consumers gain access to the
wholesale electricity and capacity market decided to concentrate its
efforts to develop with electricity and heat generation and transmission
businesses.
OUTLOOKS
According to the management forecast the OJSC 'Bashkirenergo' 2011
financial results beat last year's results, subject to high of electricity
prices at OREM.
The sale of retail business would not seriously influence the profits of
the Company since mot if it is generated by the sales of power and capacity
to OREM along with its transportation. In the liberalized electricity
market financial and operational results of this activities are not
dependent on the control over retail business.
However the decision of the Government of to imply a zero growth of
capacity price for 2012 might have a negative impact on expected financial
results next year. Though the price on capacity in the Ural zone, not being
the zone with the price-cap set up by the Government, is still to be
determined by the Competitive selection of capacity for 2012.
