Revenue increased by 14% year-on-year, OIBDA margin grew to 40% and the company generated RUB 1.6 billion of net income. This strong financial performance is down to the persistent execution of our operating strategy, including business optimization incentives and investment programme implementation, which is planned at RUB 4 billion with half to be spent on new construction projects.

BPGC consistently works on continuous enhancement of the company's efficiency. The company is implementing projects aimed at automating management processes, creating solutions under GLONASS transport monitoring systems, and installing modern electricity consumption meters for its customers. We managed to reduce losses in distribution grids down to 8.1%. Modernisation programme supported consumer base growth at a high rate.

In the remaining part of 2013, the energy segment will continue to upgrade its production facilities and is expected to sustain profitability. Stable results will support the investment programme implementation at the expected level."
