For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the balance of foreign exchange rate differences reflected within "Net finance income (expense)" produced the loss in the amount of RUB 234,374 million compared to the loss of RUB 6,670 million for the same period of the prior year.

This change was mainly due to an increase in the amount of long-term borrowings denominated in the Russian Ruble caused by the appreciation of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble.
