RusHydro announces first quarter 2021 RAS results

April 28, 2021. Moscow, Russia. PJSC RusHydro (MOEX, LSE: HYDR; OTCQX: RSHYY) announces non-consolidated financial results under Russian accounting standards (RAS) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Key highlights:

  • EBITDA – RUB 23,665 mn (-3%);

  • Reported net profit – RUB 13,498 mn (-6%);

  • Since July 1st 2017, a surcharge to capacity prices in 1st and 2nd price zones in order to attain base level of end-user tariffs in the Far East of Russia is reflected in PJSC RusHydro’s revenue and operating expenses1. In 1Q21, the surcharge totaled RUB 10,380 mn, in the 1Q20 – RUB 10,264 mn; Adjusted for the surcharge revenue and expenses (here and below in the text) were:

  • Revenue – RUB 35,981 mn (+4%);

  • Operating expenses – RUB 15,690 mn (+18%).

Despite the insignificant decrease in net profit and EBITDA as compared to record-high results of the prior year, 1Q EBITDA was 17% above the last five-year average, while net profit came in at the average of the last five years.

First quarter financial results only further supported sustainability of the company’s business model – decrease in output was compensated by sport market price increase aided by growth of DPM payments.

1 In July 2017, the Resolution of the Russian Government No. 895 “On reaching basic rates (tariffs) for electric power (capacity) in the territories of the Far East Federal region (the “Far East”)” became effective, under which rates for consumers in the territories of the Far East should be reduced starting from 1 January 2021 to the basic level  of RUB 5.49 / kWh. According to the Resolution of the Russian Government No. 1614-r and No. 1615-r of 28 July 2017, PJSC RusHydro was appointed as the recipient of a premium to the price for capacity provided by the Company in the price zones of the wholesale market under CCS agreements. The premium to the price for capacity is set in order to achieve the basic level of rates (tariffs) for electricity (capacity) planned for the next regulation period in the Far East constituent regions. The Company translates the collected amounts of margin in the form of free-of-charge targeted contributions to the budgets of the respective regions. The Group’s companies being guaranteeing suppliers will receive compensation for the shortage of income related to the reduction of rates, through subsidies from the Far East constituent regions.
