1In the first quarter of 2017 the Company obtained final assessment of fair value of real estate leasing entity with the effect of restatement of RUB 2 billion recognized in accordance with IFRS.

3 Excluding the expenses of Bashneft assets acquired in October 2016.
Commenting the results for 2Q 2017 and 1H 2017, Rosneft Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin said:
“The global hydrocarbon market conditions remain unstable with high crude oil and oil product pricing volatility. In such conditions, the Company keeps focusing on further operating efficiency improvement, including on the maximization of the existing assets synergy on the domestic and international markets.
In 2Q 2017, the average crude oil price declined by 9.2% in RUB terms, having a considerable negative impact on the key financials. On the background of weaker crude oil pricing EBITDA was down by 8.1% Q/Q. At the same time, free cash flow remained positive, emphasizing the Company’s performance among the global peers.
It is worth highlighting that the Company’s net income attributable to shareholders jumped more than fivefold Q/Q, driving 1H 2017 net income to RUB 81 billion.”
Financial performance
Revenues and equity share in profits of associates and joint ventures
In 2Q 2017 revenues amounted to RUB 1,399 bln (USD 25.3 bln), remaining almost unchanged Q/Q. The negative effect from weaker oil pricing was offset by higher crude oil sales volumes (+15.7% Q/Q).
In H1 2017 revenues was at RUB 2,809 bln, rising by 23.2% Y/Y. Revenues in USD terms (50.1 bln) increased by almost 50% Y/Y. The growth was driven by higher sales volumes, stronger crude oil prices (+33%), as well as the changes in a product mix.
EBITDA
In 2Q 2017 EBITDA amounted to RUB 306 bln (USD 5.3 bln). The decline by 8.1% Q/Q was driven mostly by weaker crude oil pricing in RUB terms (-9.2%). The negative oil price dynamic was partially mitigated by a positive synergy effect from the new assets acquisition and the efficient cost control.
EBITDA reached RUB 639 billion (USD 11 bln) in 1H 2017, rising by 2.9% Y/Y, despite higher electricity tariffs and the increased number of workovers. The growth in USD terms was at 22.2% Y/Y.
EBITDA margin amounted to 22.0% Y/Y, or lower by 4.5 p.p. Y/Y. The main pressure on the profitability came mostly from the tax maneuver, negative export duty lag, and also from growing tax burden with higher oil pricing level.
Net income attributable to Rosneft shareholders
Net income attributable to Rosneft shareholders amounted to RUB 68 bln in 2Q 2017, rising more than fivefold Y/Y.
In 1H 2017 net income attributable to Rosneft shareholders amounted to RUB 81 bln.

by 32.1% Y/Y on the back of the key upstream projects development – Suzun, Tagul, Rospan, Taas-Yuryah and Russkoe, and the acquisition of new strategic assets.
Free cash flow
In 1H 2017 free cash flow remained positive, amounting to RUB 128 bln (USD 2.1 bln). Y/Y decline was mainly driven by the planned growth in capital expenditures.
Net debt / EBITDA
As of the end of 2Q 2017 net debt / EBITDA ratio was at 1.72 in USD terms. As of 1H 2017 the Company maintained a comfortable financial leverage and a strong liquidity position.
