Kazatomprom 3M and 9M20 Consolidated Financial Statements ended 30 September 2020

JSC National Atomic Company "Kazatomprom" ("Kazatomprom" or "the Company") announces that its unaudited, reviewed, consolidated financial statements and notes for the three-months and nine-months ended 30 September 2020, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), are now available on the Company's website at www.kazatomprom.kz/en/investors/finansovaya_otchetnost  

Interim three-month and nine-month financial reporting is not a London Stock Exchange ("LSE") or Astana International Exchange ("AIX") listing requirement for Kazatomprom. However, the Company must prepare financial statements each quarter to fulfil certain obligations for its debt securities listed on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange ("KASE"), under existing loan covenants, and to meet regulatory requirements under local laws in Kazakhstan. Once the financial statements are filed with the local regulatory bodies, they become publicly available and are therefore part of the Company's disclosure record. Preparation of an accompanying Operating and Financial Review ("OFR") is not necessary to meet these interim reporting obligations.

With respect to formal periodic reporting to the investment community in 2021, Kazatomprom expects to:

· provide stakeholders with a quarterly operations and trading update approximately one month after the end of each fiscal quarter, in which annual operational and sales guidance metrics will be disclosed and/or updated; and

· release a full financial report biannually, including audited full-year financial statements with an OFR, and unaudited, reviewed, half-year financial statements with an OFR, both within the timelines prescribed by AIX and LSE regulations.

The Company expects to release its 4Q20 Operations and Trading Update on 01 February 2021, and its audited financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020 with an accompanying OFR, in mid-March 2021.
