*The consolidated financial statements of JSC IDGC of the North-West for the year ended December 31, 2014, prepared in accordance with IFRS, are published on the website of JSC IDGC of the North-West at http://www.mrsksevzap.ru/en/ifrsfinancialstatements.

IFRS revenue in 2014 increased by 5% (RUB 2,320 million) compared with the previous year and amounted to RUB 46,935 million. The main reason for the indicator increase is the increase in revenue from electricity transmission due to the increase of average tariff in tariff and balance decisions as a result of the activities conducted by the Company’s management together with the bodies of the government authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the Federal Tariff Service.

The cost of production of services in 2014 increased by 10%, primarily due to the recognition of impairment of assets in the amount of RUB 1,992 million. (assets of Vologdaenergo branch depreciated by RUB 1,317 million, of Novgorodenergo branch — by RUB 595 million). Measures for testing the Company’s assets for impairment were performed in accordance with the IFRS requirements in connection with the indications of impairment associated with adverse financial and economic forecasts and decisions taken by the government authorities to address the situation, including on limitation of tariffs for the electric power industry entities. Most of the assets of the Group are specialized assets that are rarely traded in the open market, except when they are being sold as part of existing enterprises, therefore the value of using fixed assets was determined by the method of projected cash flows. As a result of testing of assets as at December 31, 2014, a loss in operating expenses of the Group was recognized.

Financial expenses of the Group in 2014 increased by 2.7 times and amounted to RUB 2,897 million, which is driven by provision for impairment of financial investments in the amount of RUB 1,665 million (deposit at the JSC Bank Tavrichesky).

2014 financial results according to IFRS — a loss of RUB 2,217 million. EBITDA (income before tax, depreciation, payments and receiving interest) amounted to RUB 2,930 million.
