Operational Results
In 2017 SIBUR’s gas processing plants (GPPs) processed 22.8 billion cubic metres of APG, an increase of 1.6%(1) year-on-year largely attributable to higher supplies from oil companies and higher capacity load at previously expanded gas processing facilities. As a result, production of natural gas rose by 1.5% year-on-year to 19.7 billion cubic metres(1). Raw NGL fractionation volumes increased by 6.7% year-on-year to 8.7 million tonnes(2) following the expansion of fractionation facilities in Tobolsk.
Natural gas sales volumes increased by 1.3% year-on-year to 18.5 billion cubic metres. External LPG sales volumes increased by 4.5% year-on-year to 4.9 million tonnes.
In 2017 SIBUR increased sales volumes of majority of its petrochemical products. Sales volumes of polypropylene increased by 10.9% year-on-year to 598 thousand tonnes(4), while sales volumes of polyethylene increased by 12.6% year-on-year to 268 thousand tonnes(4) - both following the increased production at our new and upgraded facilities in Tobolsk and Tomsk.
Sales of elastomers increased by 9.7% year-on-year to 485 thousand tonnes, inter alia following the increased capacity load at SBS production in Voronezh on the back of improved market environment . Our sales of plastics and organic synthesis products remained flat year-on-year at 771 thousand tonnes. Sales of intermediates increased by 13.0% year-on-year to 520 thousand tonnes due to higher propylene production volumes following the change of feedstock composition at our crackers, and higher external sales of benzene during the maintenance shutdown at our production site in Perm.

Financial results
Our integrated business model and investments in new production facilities enabled us to counterbalance the shifts in segments’ margins and improve SIBUR results with EBITDA up by 15.2% to RR 160,851 million year-on-year and EBITDA margin reaching 35.4%.
This performance was significantly attributable to higher energy products’ prices, while our petrochemicals businesses encountered higher intragroup feedstock costs, which was partially compensated by higher selling volumes.
Our revenue increased by 10.4% year-on-year to RR 454,619 million on increased production and sales volumes, as well as positive price dynamics in LPG and elastomers:
In 2017, the EBITDA of our Feedstock & Energy segment increased by 47.6% year-on-year to RR 89,351 million. The increase resulted from wider spreads between selling prices for liquids and netbacks for our purchased hydrocarbon feedstock. The growth was somewhat negated by weaker EBITDA of our petrochemicals businesses as a result of flat spreads. The joint contribution of our Olefins & Polyolefins and Plastics, Elastomers & Intermediates segments decreased by 6.7% year-on-year to RR 74,994 million. In 2017, SIBUR recorded a 13.1% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, which totaled RR 168,748 million. This growth was fully driven by the growth in Group’s EBITDA.
Our net profit in 2017 totaled RR 120,246 million, a 6.3% growth year-on-year. The increase was primarily a result of growth in operating profit and gain on disposal of Uralorgsintez, which was partially offset by lower net finance income due to high base of 2016 when we observed significant FX fluctuations.
Our cash from operating activities increased by 10.9% on the back of increased EBITDA that was significantly offset by increased Income tax paid.
Capital expenditures(6) decreased by 7.0% year-on-year to 135,261 million mostly following the FX fluctuations that resulted in decreased Russian rouble payments for contracts denominated in Euro and US Dollars, as well as a result of substantial advances paid in 2016 ahead of further equipment deliveries for ZapSib project according to contract terms and shifts in payments to come in 2018.

Borrowings
In 2017, we continued focusing on improvement of our debt portfolio. As a result, our total debt decreased by 8.6% to RR 312,344 million as of 31 December 2017 from RR 341,813 million as of 31 December 2016, while net leverage improved to 1.6x from 2.0x in Russian rouble terms. The decrease was attributable to substantial repayment of conventional debt, partially offset by new drawdowns from ECA-backed credit facilities for ZapSib funding and new Eurobond placement.
In October 2017, we placed our six-year Eurobond due 2023 with 4.125% per annum coupon rate, raising USD 500 million in gross proceeds. In January 2018, we completed the redemption of previously placed bonds worth USD 1.0 billion amounting to USD 557 million.
