Planned revenue for electric energy transmission services within the adjusted Business Plan for 2016 is 1,4% lower than the previously approved, which is due to decrease in the tariff for electric energy transmission services, which were approved by the executive authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of the state regulation of tariffs for 2016.
Reduction of the cost of sales relative to the previously approved plan for 2016 is due to lower non-controllable items of expenditure as purchase of electric energy for compensation of losses, services of PJSC "FGC UES" and distribution grid companies for electric energy transmission.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is projected at 5,8% above the previously approved Business Plan for 2016 and will amount to 18,1 bln RUB. Net profit under the adjusted Business Plan for 2016 has been increased compared to the previous forecast by 0,8 bln RUB or 53,3%. The main reasons for the profit indicator growth: advancing pace of reduction of the cost of sales over decrease in revenues and increase in the balance of other income-expenditure relative to the approved value.
Projected value of the joint operation productive supply to consumers within the adjusted Business Plan for 2016 has been insignificantly lowered by 25 mln kWh and is 55,2 mln kWh. The size of the relative value of the losses increased to 9,38%, which is due to the consolidation of grids of the city of Kimry in Tver region, as well as the revision of the volume of funding of the Program of decreasing of electric energy losses on 2016.
The credit portfolio of the Company under the adjusted Business Plan for 2016 will amount to 43,7 bln RUB, which is less than the indicator of the approved Business Plan for 2016 by 2,0 bln RUB and has been caused by a decrease of the credit component in the sources of financing of the Investment Program of the Company.
