OREANDA-NEWS. November 22, 2010. OJSC Enel OGK-5 publishes its operating results and unaudited financial results for the nine months of 2010 prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Operating Results

Net power output for the nine months of 2010 totaled 31,652 GWh, 16% above the corresponding period of 2009. The increase in net output was mainly driven by the growth of energy consumption ( plus5.4% for European Russia) due to economic recovery, colder weather conditions in the first quarter of the year and exceptionally hot temperatures registered during summer months. Additionally, net output dynamics were supported by strong performance of the company’s power plants in terms of availability – the availability ratio in the reporting period stood at 82%, up 2% compared to the nine months of 2009.

Total power sales stood at 33,949 GWh, 13% above the corresponding period of the previous year. The share of non-regulated sales on total sales amounted to 65% versus 36% shown in the nine months of 2009 following the ongoing liberalization of the Russian power market.

Financial Results

Operating revenues totaled 37,697 million RUR, 29% above the corresponding period of 2009. The growth is mainly attributable to net output dynamics and increase of power prices on the free market.

EBITDA stood at 8,309 million RUR, 2,488 million RUR higher than the figure posted in the nine months of 2009 ( plus43%).

The growth is mainly due to the improvement in energy margin thanks to increase in fuel spreads and higher power sales volumes. Additionally, it is worth mentioning continuous efficiency improvement in all the main company areas with significant impact on fixed costs containment.

Net profit for the period totaled 4,608 million RUR, 1,832 million RUR, or 66% higher than the corresponding value for the nine months of 2009.

Net debt as of September 30th, 2010 totaled 17,009 million RUR, 419 million RUR, or 2% below the corresponding value at the year end of 2009. Thanks to cash flow coming from operations, the company managed to self-finance its capital expenditures during the nine months of 2010.
