The revenue from electric energy transmission services in 2017 grew by 4,8%, this growth was due to an increase in the average tariff and a decrease in the cost of load losses. The growth in the revenue for grid connection services by the end of 2017 was 14,3% and is associated with the implementation of many large grid connection contracts in the branches "Belgorodenergo", "Tambovenergo", "Kurskenergo" and "Tverenergo" in the reporting period. The revenue from the sale of electric energy in 2017 amounted to 0,6 bln RUB, which is related to the performance of the functions of the supplier of last resort from 01.12.2016 on the territory of the Tver region in relation to the service area of JSC "Transservicenergo". The main reason for the other revenue growth at 30,0% compared to the previous year is the increase in the volume of work performed in such areas as "Reconstruction of electric grid facilities for the benefit of customers", "Provision of technical resources", "Organization of outdoor lighting systems" and "Grid connection support".
The cost of sales for 12 months in 2017 amounted to 79,0 bln RUB. The greatest increase in operating expenses occurred with non-influenceable cost items related to the purchase of electricity for losses, payment for services of FGC UES and Territorial Grid Companies, as well as the increase in depreciation, which increased by 5,3% compared to the indicator of 2016 and amounted to 10,7 bln RUB. The growth of depreciation charges in 2017 is related to the commissioning of fixed assets in the implementation of the Company’s investment program.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reached the level of 19,4 bln RUB, having increased by 14,8% compared to the same period last year. EBITDA margin was 21,3%, which is 1,7 p.p. higher than in 2016. The net profit for 2017 amounted to 2,0 bln RUB, which is 8,8% higher than the same period last year.
The volume of electricity transmission services amounted to 51,7 billion kWh, compared with the previous year, there was a decrease in the volume by 8,0%, which was the result of the termination of the "last mile" contracts and the reduction of electricity consumption in the Yaroslavl region. At the same time, the comparison of this indicator in comparable conditions shows an increase of 0,8%. The increase in the reporting loss is due to a decrease in the supply of electricity to the grid, caused by the exclusion of transmission volumes from the "last mile" facilities from the balance of 5.2 billion kWh and the integration of power grid assets in the cities of Semiluki and Rzhev. The reduction of electricity losses (in comparable terms by the composition of electric grid assets) by 0,42% to 9,86% in 2017 was achieved due to the implementation of the Program for reduction of electric energy losses, which includes a set of organizational and technical measures.
The company’s total assets as of 31 December 2017 were 119,7 bln RUB. The company’s net assets increased to 57,9 bln RUB. The net debt3 decreased and amounted to 40,1 bln RUB (as of 31 December 2016 – 40,7 bln RUB).
