OREANDA-NEWS. Enel OGK-5 published its audited consolidated financial statements for 2013 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Operating revenues totaled 69,723 million RUR, up 5% or 3,177 million RUR compared to the figure posted in 2012. The revenue growth was largely attributable to higher free capacity tariffs for conventional units, as well as higher prices on the free power market (+10% in European Russia) partially offset by a decrease in power sales volumes.

EBITDA* stood at 16,848 million RUR, 2,028 million RUR higher than the figure posted in 2012 (+14%). The positive EBITDA dynamics were mainly attributable to higher profitability in power sales of Reftinskaya GRES and of the two CCGT units at Sredneuralskaya GRES and Nevinnomysskaya GRES, as well as the containment of fixed costs.

EBITDA margin for the period stood at the level of 24.2%, which is 1.9 percentage points above the value for 2012.

Net profit for 2013 totaled 4,939 million RUR, 464 million RUR or 9% below the value in the corresponding period of the preceding year. The decrease in net profit was mainly attributable to the write-off of some receivables registered in the reporting period and higher depreciation charges.

Net debt as of December 31st, 2013 stood at 19,322 million RUR, decreasing by 5,646 million RUR or 23% versus year-end 2012 thanks to solid operating cash flows generated during the year.

Enrico Viale, the General Director of Enel OGK-5, stated: “Once again Enel OGK-5 posted a strong performance, thanks to the continuous improvement of energy management actions and focus on cost containment. In line with the targets announced to the market last year, solid EBITDA increase was posted despite the growing discrepancy between gas price and power price growth”

EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net profit dynamics as per the press-release reflect the restatement of personnel costs for 2012, made for comparative purposes following the application, as from January 1st, 2013 with retrospective effect, of the new version of the accounting standard “IAS 19 - Employee Benefits”. Said restatement resulted in the increase of 2012 personnel costs by 0.2 billion RUR versus the amount reported in the audited IFRS financial statements for 2012.
