Net sales of gas decreased by RUB 124,487 million, or 4 %, to RUB 3,302,770 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net sales of gas to Europe and Other countries decreased by RUB 25,473 million, or 1 %, to RUB 2,140,027 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. This was mainly driven by the decrease in average Russian Ruble prices (including excise tax and customs duties) by 22 %, which was partially compensated by the increase in volumes of gas sold by 24 %, or 43.9 bcm.

Net sales of gas to Former Soviet Union countries decreased by RUB 120,016 million, or 28 %, to RUB 309,644 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was due to the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 18 %, or 7.1 bcm, and the decrease in average Russian Ruble prices (including customs duties) by 14 %.

Net sales of gas in the Russian Federation increased by RUB 14,309 million, or 2 %, to RUB 819,924 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily explained by the increase in average prices by 5 % that was partially compensated by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 3 %, or 6.3 bcm.

Net sales of crude oil and gas condensate increased by RUB 151,350 million, or 58 %, to RUB 411,958 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. This is explained by the increase in volumes of crude oil sold and the increase in average prices of Gazprom Neft Group for customers in Europe and Other countries.

Operating expenses increased by RUB 609,481 million, or 13 %, to RUB 5,244,983 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.

The increase in operating expenses is explained by an increase in a number of items such as:

“Purchased gas and oil” – the increase by RUB 109,113 million, or 10 % due to an increase in expenses for gas as a result of the change in the scope of consolidation related to the completion of the Swap Agreement between PJSC Gazprom and Wintershall Holding GmbH on 30 September 2015;

“Taxes other than on income” – the increase by RUB 95,265, or 12 %;

“Transit of gas, oil and refined products” – the increase by RUB 75,772, or 14 %.

In addition, the line “Foreign exchange rate differences on operating items” amounted to a net loss of RUB 52,880 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a net gain of RUB 25,581 million for year ended December 31, 2015 due to changes in exchange rates.
