Operational Results

In 2016 SIBUR’s gas processing plants (GPPs) processed 22.4 billion cubic metres of APG(2), an increase of 4.4% year-on-year following the launch of Yuzhno-Priobskiy GPP (JV with Gazprom Neft). As a result, production of natural gas rose by 5.2% year-on-year to 19.4 billion cubic metres(2). Raw NGL fractionation volumes increased by 5.2% year-on-year to 8.2 million tonnes(3).

Natural gas sales volumes increased by 3.5% year-on-year to 18.2 billion cubic metres. External LPG sales volumes increased by 10.3% year-on-year to 4.7 million tonnes.

In 2016 SIBUR increased sales volumes of all types of petrochemical products. Sales volumes of polypropylene increased by 17% year-on-year to 539 thousand tonnes following the increased utilisation rate at our flagship polypropylene production in Tobolsk.

Financial results

In 2016, SIBUR recorded a 5.3% increase in Adjusted EBITDA(4), which totaled RR 149.2 billion. Operationally the growth was primarily a result of higher PP production volumes, as well as the growth in hydrocarbon feedstock processing volumes following the recent capacity expansions. RusVinyl, our PVC joint venture with Solvay, also contributed to the growth as it increased capacity load in 2016. The increase in volumes across the majority of products was somewhat offset by the overall negative pricing environment in international markets, which was partially compensated by the Russian rouble depreciation. 

Our revenue increased by 8.4% year-on-year to RR 411.8 billion on positive dynamics in each segment.

  • Olefins & Polyolefins segment made the highest contribution to the total revenue growth with the segment revenue increasing by 16.4% to RR 86.8 billion on higher PP utilization rate in Tobolsk.
  • Feedstock & Energy segment revenue increased by 4.3% to RR 170.7 billion largely due to higher sales volumes of LPG and natural gas following the recent capacity expansions.
  • Plastics, Elastomers & Intermediates segment revenue increased by 2.1% to RR 130.7 billion due to higher elastomers revenue on higher capacity load, which was partially offset by lower revenue from MTBE and fuel additives on lower prices.
  • Unallocated revenue increased by 73.7% to RR 23.6 billion, which was driven by higher revenue from services and sales of power following the acquisition of Tobolsk Heating and Power Plant in February 2016.

In 2016, our EBITDA increased by 2.9% year-on-year to RR 139.6 billion. The growth was fueled by the strong performance in the Olefins & Polyolefins segment, which EBITDA increased by 32.6% to RR 48.9 billion. The increase resulted from higher PP production coupled with the decline in feedstock costs due to lower netbacks following the decrease in international benchmarks. The growth was somewhat negated by lower EBITDA of Feedstock & Energy and Plastics, Elastomers & Intermediates segments on the negative dynamics in international benchmark prices.

Our net profit in 2016 totaled RR 113.1 billion.

In 2016, our capital expenditures(6) increased by 72.6% year-on-year to RR 145.7 billion. The increase is attributable to the active phase of the implementation of ZapSibNeftekhim project.

The new breakdown for 2016 data was disclosed in comparison with the same metrics for 2015.

(2) Including Gazprom Neft’s share in the processing / production volumes of Yuzhno-Priobskiy GPP starting September 2015.

(3) Including volumes under processing arrangements.

(4) EBITDA adjusted for the respective portion of EBITDA of joint ventures and associates.

(5) Excluding Gazprom Neft’s share in the processing / production volumes of Yuzhno-Priobskiy GPP starting September 2015.

(6) Includes purchase of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets.
