Mikhail Shamolin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sistema, commented:
“Sistema has delivered a strong set of quarterly results reflecting solid performance from our Core assets and improving operating and financial results of Developing investments.
MTS’ focus on stimulating usage and customer retention boosted profitability, delivering a turnaround of OIBDA margins. At Bashneft, production increased by 2.7% QoQ and is on track for around 5% growth in 2011.
In the Developing assets portfolio, our consumer orientated businesses continue to perform strongly, with Detsky Mir reporting double digit revenue and like-for-like sales growth; Medsi and SMM achieving 154% and 165% YoY OIBDA growth respectively and MBRD commencing full scale mobile banking and credit operations following exceptional demand for its PoS-credits and MTS Money products. The Developing Assets portfolio overall has shown positive OIBDA also, as Intourist completed their transaction with Thomas Cook and the newly enlarged RTI delivered strong growth in contracts in the telecom and defense solutions business units.
Over the course of the last three years Sistema has taken active steps to diversify its portfolio and today’s results reflect the significant transformation that has since taken place. With a balanced revenue stream, higher dividend inflows, prudent debt management and substantial cash reserves Sistema is in one of the strongest financial positions compared to its Russian peers. This has allowed us to steadily execute our strategy of diversification by securing partnership in the petrochemical sector; establishing a foothold in agriculture and identifying a number of potential future opportunities which we are confident will create significant shareholder value in the near and medium term.”

GROUP OPERATING REVIEW
Sistema’s consolidated revenues increased by 23.4% year-on-year primarily reflecting Bashneft’s strong results primarily due to oil price growth year-on-year and organic growth within MTS. The Group’s revenues were up 0.5% quarter-on-quarter mainly as a result of MTS’ increase in revenues due to seasonal factors and the sustained growth in voice and data consumption, although revenue growth in US dollars was partially eliminated by US dollar appreciation. The Group’s Core Assets accounted for 90% of the total Group consolidated revenues in the third quarter of 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were stable year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter despite the growth of consolidated revenues year-on-year.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses were up 10.1% year-on-year mainly following the planned increase in MTS’ CAPEX, but decreased by 6.4% quarter-on-quarter due to US dollar appreciation.
The Group’s OIBDA increased by 16.8% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2011 reflecting the strong results of the Core Assets portfolio. OIBDA was down 1.3% quarter-on-quarter, mainly as a result of US dollar appreciation in the third quarter of 2011. The Group’s OIBDA was impacted by increasing operating tax expenses from the oil business, which reduced profitability growth. The OIBDA margin slightly decreased quarter-on-quarter from 24.8% to 24.4% due to the increased share of lower margin operations within Bashneft.
Consolidated net income attributable to Sistema increased in the third quarter of 2011 by 74.9% year-on-year to US$ 319.5 million from US$ 182.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase was mainly as a result of net income growth in Core Assets, primarily from net income growth in Bashneft and a recognized gain from the sale of ESKB LLC, an electricity retail company.

Bashneft’s revenue increased by 41.5% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2011 due to higher oil price in year-on-year terms, and was down by 1.4% quarter-on-quarter mainly as a result of US dollar appreciation and the decrease in oil price in the third quarter of 2011.

Bashkirenergo’s revenues decreased by 11.7% year-on-year due to deconsolidation of ESKB LLC in the second quarter of 2011 and by 12.1% quarter-on-quarter mainly due to seasonal decrease in heat consumption and US dollar appreciation.
Bashkirenergo generated 5,263 million kWh of electricity and supplied 2,917 thousand Gcal of heat in the reporting quarter, compared to 5,299 million kWh of electricity and 2,681 thousand Gcal of heat supplied in the third quarter of 2010. The third quarter of 2011 witnessed a small decline in Bashkirenergo power output compared to the same period last year, mostly due to changes to the repairs and maintenance schedule. The growth in heat output resulted from the rising heat consumption from major consumers.
Bashkirenergo’s OIBDA increased by 61.5% year-on-year in the reporting quarter as a result of lower fuel consumption per kWh. The biggest impact on fuel consumption rate was made by implementation of energy saving and energy efficiency programs, including the redistribution of heating load from boilers of LLC BashRTS to CHPP-2 and Salavatskaya CHPP, coupled with the 3.9% growth in the cogeneration output by CHPPs. OIBDA decreased by 39.3% quarter-on-quarter following a seasonal decrease in revenue.

(a) Interest income and expenses of the banking division are presented as revenues from financial services and cost of financial services, correspondingly, in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
(b) The banking division derives a majority of its revenue from interest. In addition, management primarily relies on net interest revenue, not the gross revenue and expense amounts, in managing that division. Therefore, only the net amount is disclosed.
(c) Represents the sum of short-term and long-term debt
Attachment A
Non-GAAP financial measures. This press release includes financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or US GAAP, as well as other financial measures referred to as non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) and OIBDA margin. OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of our net revenues. Our OIBDA may not be similar to OIBDA measures of other companies; is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statement of operations. We believe that OIBDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, acquisitions of businesses and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculation is commonly used as one of the bases for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies. OIBDA can be reconciled to our consolidated statements of operations as follows:
