Changes in the level of revenue and operating expenses relative to 6 months of 2014 are mainly related to the transfer of the functions of a supplier of last resort by the Company to the third-party companies in the compared periods. Significant impact on the financial results for 6 months of 2015 was given by an increase in the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, as well as creation of reserves for estimated liabilities related to contesting deals with retail companies, deprived of the status of a supplier of last resort and recognized bankrupt.

Operating profit of IDGC of Centre declined over the period and amounted to 4,0 bln RUB(for 6 months of 2014- 4,8 bln RUB). EBITDA for the 1st half of 2015 fell 13,2 % compared to the same period last year and amounted to 7,9 bln RUB.

The volume of electricity transmission services in comparison with the same period last year increased by 0,7% and amounted to 27,5 bln kWh. A reduction of electric energy losses was achieved under comparable conditions without taking into account “last mile” facilities from 9,28% for 6 months of 2014 to 9,27% for 6 months of 2015 due to implementation of a program on energy saving and energy efficiency.

The total value of the consolidated assets of the company for the six months increased by 0,7% and as at 30.06.2015 amounted to 94,5 bln RUB.
