NOVATEK announces IFRS results for the third quarter and nine months ended 30 September 2005

Moscow, 18 November 2005. OAO NOVATEK today announced strong earnings in its third quarter and nine months 2005 consolidated interim condensed financial results prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers. 

Net profit attributable to NOVATEK for the nine months ending 30 September 2005 totaled RR 10,798 million, or RR 3,556 per share (basic and diluted), compared to RR 4,061 million, or RR 1,807 per share (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2004.
