For the three months ended March 31, 2012 net sales of gas to Europe and other countries decreased by RUB 11,933 million, or 3%, to RUB 386,600 million compared to the three monthsended March 31, 2011. This change was primarily due to decrease in volumes of gas sold by 8% or3.9 bcm, which was partially compensated by the increase of average realized prices in RUB terms (including customs duties) by 15%.
Net sales of gas to FSU countries decreased by RUB 61,069 million, or 30%, to RUB 144,325 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.The decrease of sales in this segment is explained by the decrease of volumes of gas sold by 32%, or9.2 bcm, which was partially compensated by the increase of the average realized prices in RUB terms (including customs duties, net of VAT) by 14%.
Net sales of gas in the domestic market increased by RUB 3,028 million, or 1%, to RUB 269,070 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. This is explained primarily by the increase in the average domestic price for gas. Volume of gas sold decreased by 3% in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Net sales of refined products increased by RUB 41,084 million, or 19%, to RUB 255,971 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.The increase was due to the increase of prices for refined products and increase of volumes sold.
Net electric and heat energy sales decreased by RUB 935 million, or 1%, to RUB 111,601 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.The decrease in electric and heat energy sales is explained by the reduction of electricity prices at the day-ahead market and decrease in generation of electric energy.
In the three months ended March 31, 2012 net sales of crude oil and gas condensate increased by RUB 7,848 million, or 14%, to RUB 65,193 million compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2011. The increase in net sales of crude oil primarily resulted from the Gazprom neft activities: net sales of crude oil increased by RUB 2,825 million, or 6%, to RUB 51,187 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 mainly due to the increase in oil prices. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 net sales of gas condensate increased by RUB 5,023 million, or 56%, to RUB 14,006 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of gas condensate sales was primarily due to the increase in the average realized prices and volumes of gas condensate sold.
In the three months ended March 31, 2012 net gas transportation sales increased by RUB 3,263 million, or 11%, to RUB 32,059 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in net gas transportation sales was primarily due to the increase in the tariffs for transportation of gas for independent gas suppliers.
Operating expenses increased by RUB 109,492 million, or 13%, to RUB 927,401 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Major item in the total amount of operating expenses is «Purchased gas and oil» which decreased by RUB 61,926 million or 24%. The decrease in cost of purchased gas mainly relates to the decrease in volumes and prices of gas purchased from third parties outside the Russian Federation. The increase in operating expenses was mostly influenced by the following items: « Taxes other than on income » (increase by RUB 55,692 million), « Transit of gas, oil and refined products » (increase by RUB 18,705 million), «Depreciation» (increase by RUB 13,047 million), « Cost of goods for resale, including refined products » (increase by RUB 10,560 million), «Staff costs» (increase by RUB 8,893 million).
