Financial Results
In the first half 2012, our revenues increased by 12.6% year-on-year to RR 136,926 million. Our EBITDA declined by 5.1% compared to the same period a year ago to RR 42,562 million. The decrease in EBITDA is primarily attributable to a reduction in spreads between feedstock and petrochemicals prices, a non-recurring change in treatment of provisions related to staff costs, higher transportation costs, as well as repairs and maintenance expenses. EBITDA margin equaled 31.1%. Our profit for the reporting period totaled RR 29,662 million, a decrease of 8.7% year-on-year.
The profit for the reporting period was additionally affected by a foreign exchange loss attributable to the revaluation of our USD and EUR-denominated debt. Net margin for the first six months 2012 amounted to 21.7%. Net of foreign exchange loss our net profit for the first half 2012 declined 3.5% year-on-year to RR 31,928 million. Net margin for the first six months 2012 (net of foreign exchange loss) amounted to 23.3%.

Borrowings
As of 30 June 2012, our total debt stood at RR 83,374 million, remaining largely flat compared to 31 December 2011, as net repayment of debt by SIBUR was offset by the consolidation of BIAXPLEN group of companies debt at the end of March 2012.
Our net debt(5) increased by 16.9% from 31 December 2011 to RR 79,419 million. The growth is attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to funding of our capital expenditure program and a dividend payment in the second quarter 2012.
As of 30 June 2012, our net debt to EBITDA ratio was 0.94х, which underlines the Company’s stable financial position. SIBUR’s financial policy is to maintain a net debt to EBITDA ratio of no higher than 2.5x, which is stricter than bank covenants stipulated in our credit agreements.
