We continued to actively pursue our M&A strategy as we look to enter attractive new growth sectors. Over the past few months, we acquired a 10.8% stake in OZON Holdings Limited, one of Russia’s largest e-commerce businesses, providing the Group with an excellent entry into Russia’s rapidly growing e-commerce sector and the potential for synergies within the Group. In the pharmaceutical sector, we combined our operations with Fresenius Kabi, one of the global leaders in clinical nutrition and IV drugs, in a joint venture to develop a leading pharmaceutical business in Russia and the CIS.

GROUP OPERATING REVIEW
In the first quarter of 2014, Sistema’s consolidated revenues declined by 1.6% year-on-year in US dollar terms as a result of Russian rouble depreciation. The Group’s revenues were up 13.1% year-on-year in rouble terms, reflecting increasing volumes of oil production and refining at Bashneft, the development of MTS’ data services and Detsky Mir’s business expansion. The top-line growth in rouble terms also reflects significant contributions from Bashkirian Power Grid Company (“BPGC”) following increased electricity consumption, rise of MTS Bank’s interest and commission income and from increased patient visits at Medsi.
In terms of quarter-on-quarter revenue comparison, Sistema reported a 16.8% decrease in revenues in US dollar terms and a 10.6% decrease in rouble terms. Quarter-on-quarter declines were driven by seasonal factors across most of the portfolio companies such as reduced roaming revenue at MTS and seasonal fluctuations in demand at Detsky Mir and RTI.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased by 8.2% year-on-year and by 22.3% quarter-on-quarter to US$ 978.1 million in the reporting quarter. Depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses declined by 9.2% year-on-year and by 11.3% quarter-on-quarter to US$ 737.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.
In the reporting quarter, the Group’s adjusted OIBDA decreased by 3.7% year-on-year and by 16.8% quarter-on-quarter in US dollar terms, while the adjusted OIBDA margin amounted to 23.0%. Adjusted OIBDA in rouble terms was up 10.7% year-on-year, mainly as a result of substantial contributions from MTS and Bashneft, reduced losses at SSTL, as well as improved margins at Detsky Mir and Medsi. The Group’s adjusted OIBDA was down 10.6% quarter-on-quarter in rouble terms in the first quarter of 2014.
Consolidated net income attributable to Sistema grew by 3.5% year-on-year in US dollar terms and by 19.0% year-on-year in rouble terms in the reporting quarter. This was largely driven by increased net income at Bashneft’s and Medsi, and a 44.9% year-on-year reduction in SSTL’s net loss. The Group reported a 42.1% quarter-on-quarter decrease in adjusted net income in US dollar terms and a 37.8% quarter-on-quarter decline in rouble terms in the first quarter of 2014.

MTS’ revenues and adjusted OIBDA decreased in US dollar terms by 8.6% and 7.7% year-on-year, respectively, in the first quarter due to 14.9% depreciation of the average rouble exchange rate vs. US dollar. The company’s revenues in rouble terms were up 5.1% year-on-year, reflecting the continued increase in data services revenue and the number of subscribers in MTS’ key operating regions. Adjusted OIBDA in rouble terms was up 6.1% year-on-year, mainly as a result of continued operating improvements and revenue growth from high-margin data services. Adjusted OIBDA margin increased to 43.1% in the reporting quarter, compared to 42.7% in the first quarter of 2013.
MTS’ mobile subscriber base expanded to 103.3 million6 customers as of March 31, 2014. ARPU in Russia grew by 2.4% year-on-year to RUB 299 in the first quarter.

Bashneft’s revenues were up 1.6% year-on-year, mainly as a result of increased sales of oil and a rise in exports of oil products, which reflect growing volumes of oil production and refining. The company reported a 6.6% decrease in revenue and an 11.8% decrease in adjusted OIBDA quarter-on-quarter, mainly as a result of seasonal fall in demand for oil and oil products, rouble depreciation, as well as increased mineral extraction tax and excise duties.
In the first quarter of 2014, Bashneft’s oil production increased by 7.0% year-on-year to 4.1 million tonnes, including 177,000 tonnes produced at the Trebs and Titov fields, while mature fields in Bashkortostan added 3.9 million tonnes. The company sold 6.2 million tonnes of oil and oil products in the reporting quarter, a 9.6% year-on-year increase, with exports amounting to 1.4 million tonnes of crude oil and 2.4 million tonnes of oil and petrochemical products.
Bashneft reported a 2.0% year-on-year increase in refining volumes in the first quarter, reaching 5.3 million tonnes of crude oil. The average refining depth was 83.1% and light-product yield was 58.6%.
In March 2014, the Federal Subsoil Resources Management Agency (Rosnedra) made amendments to Bashneft’s licence for geological exploration and production of hydrocarbons within a subsoil area including the R. Trebs and A. Titov oilfields in the Nenets Autonomous District. Under the terms of the licence for the R. Trebs and A. Titov fields, the subsoil user must process no less than 42% of hydrocarbons at refineries owned by the licence holder. The new version of the licence agreement specifies that hydrocarbons to be processed are defined as oil meeting the requirements of the GOST R 51858–2002 standard and owned by the licence holder, in the amount of no less than 42% of the total volume of oil produced by the licence holder at the subsoil area.
In March 2014, Bashneft acquired a 100% stake in LLC Burneftegaz, an oil exploration and production company in the Tyumen District. LLC Burneftegaz owns the rights to explore and develop the Sorovskoye field (the Vostochno-Vuemskiy licence area) and the Tortasinskoye field (the Tortasinskiy licence area) via its wholly owned subsidiaries. Total С1+С2 oil reserves of the fields amount to 53.4 million tonnes. LLC Tortasinskneft, a wholly owned subsidiary of Burneftegaz, also holds licences for geological exploration at the Severo-Ityakhskiy 3 and Vostochno-Unlorskiy subsoil areas. The value of the transaction was approximately US$ 1 billion, including debt.
In March 2014, Fitch Ratings affirmed Bashneft’s Long-Term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating at 'BB' with a Positive Outlook, following Bashneft’s acquisition of Burneftegaz.
In February 2014, Bashneft’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved a decision on the company’s reorganisation. In May 2014, Bashneft completed its reorganisation process. The 38,139,925 Bashneft ordinary shares owned by the company (a 16.8% stake in its authorised share capital) and 8,885,866 preferred shares (bought back from Bashneft’s shareholders) were cancelled.
Significant events after the end of the reporting period

The company generated 7.7% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth as a result of an increase in average monthly minutes of usage and data services usage. SSTL narrowed its OIBDA loss year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2014, reflecting the effects of the on-going cost optimisation programme.

The quarter-on-quarter revenue decrease was largely due to seasonal effects. SMM’s OIBDA demonstrated a significant year-on-year increase in the first quarter following revenue growth.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Stream-TV subscriber base increased by 36.3% year-on-year reaching 10.5 million subscribers.

Binnopharm reported a 24.5% year-on-year and a 50.7% quarter-on-quarter revenue decrease in the first quarter of 2014. This was mainly a result of lower revenues generated from its distribution business following the transition to the federal contract system.
A year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter decline in the company’s OIBDA in the reporting quarter resulted from the revenue decrease, as well as an increase in R&D expenses. The OIBDA margin expanded year-on-year to 20.9% in the first quarter of 2014.

MTS Bank’s revenues decreased by 6.7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2014, mainly as a result of rouble depreciation. In rouble terms MTS Bank’s revenues grew by 7.2%. The interest income increased by 3.6% year-on-year to US$ 172.7 million. The interest income from transactions with individuals in rouble terms was up 48.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2014. Interest income on the retail loan portfolio accounts for 60.4% of the total interest income.
The bank’s revenues fell by 26.5% quarter-on-quarter as a result of increased share of loans to banks with lower interest rates, and a decrease in the corporate loan portfolio as well as due to seasonal factor. MTS Bank reported net loss largely due to the decreased revenue and recognised loss from the revaluation of the bonds portfolio, which is expected to be reversed after the maturity in 2014.
In the reporting quarter, MTS Bank’s gross loan portfolio to individuals increased by 43.2% year-on-year and by 3.9% quarter-on-quarter in rouble terms.

| Net (loss)/ income attributable to Sistema | (12.4) | (14.7) | - | 35.0 | - | ||||||
Detsky Mir’s revenues grew by 17.6% year-on-year in the first quarter driven by a 24.9% increase in like-for-like revenue in rouble terms, new store openings and high revenue growth dynamics in stores opened in 2013. The quarter-on-quarter decrease in revenue and OIBDA resulted from seasonal factors and rouble depreciation. Detsky Mir’s own label portfolio accounted for 20% of total sales in the first quarter of 2014, with 67% and 57% in the “clothes” and “footwear” segments, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2014, Intourist’s revenues increased by 5.3% year-on-year driven by the operational success of the company’s hotels abroad, as well as the cooperation with the Leading Hotels of the World Association. The proactive work with travel agencies also facilitated sales in the winter period. A quarter-on-quarter revenue and OIBDA decrease was a result of seasonal factors.
In March 2014, Intourist signed a management services agreement with one more hotel in Moscow - Intourist-Kolomenskoe hotel, which has 259 rooms. As of March 31, 2014, Intourist owned, managed and rented 2,947 rooms.

Medsi’s revenues decreased by 4.4% year-on-year, mainly as a result of rouble depreciation. Medsi’s revenues in rouble terms were up 9.9% year-on-year. OIBDA grew by 21.1% year-on-year in the first quarter as a result of the decreased administrative expenses after completing the integration with the Medical Centre for the Mayor and Government of Moscow (SUE). The SG&A expenses to revenue ratio declined to 13.1%, compared to 16.8% in the corresponding period of 2013. Medsi’s quarter-on-quarter revenues and OIBDA decreased, reflecting seasonality factors.
Following a successful marketing campaign in the first quarter, the number of patient visits and services provided increased by 19.4% and by 0.2% year-on-year, respectively. The average bill was up 18.9% quarter-on-quarter in roubles and totalled RUB 1,884.

The Corporate segment comprises the companies that control and manage the Company’s interests in its subsidiaries.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Corporate’s SG&A expenses increased by 59.4% year-on-year to US$ 59.8 million as a result of a non-cash share award for Sistema’s senior management, based on the share price as of the grant date (the end of 2013). The Corporate’s interest expense grew by 10.1% year-on-year and 6.9% quarter-on-quarter to US$ 43.4 million.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Net cash provided by operations in the first quarter of 2014 increased by 34.7% year-on-year, but decreased by 12.7% quarter-on-quarter to US$ 1,590.5 million, due to changes in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities totalled US$ 1,509.8 million in the reporting quarter, compared to US$ 589.8 million in the corresponding period of 2013. This year-on-year increase in the investing cash outflow was mainly due to payments for purchases of businesses, net of cash acquired. In particular, in March 2014, the Group acquired a 100% interest in Burneftegaz, a company engaged in exploration and production of crude oil in the Tyumen District, for a total cash consideration of approximately US$ 1 billion.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2014 slightly decreased year-on-year and amounted to US$ 655.0 million, compared to US$ 680.9 million in the corresponding period of 2013. The 28.2% reduction in capital expenditures at MTS was partially offset by Bashneft’s growing investment programme in connection with developing the Trebs and Titov fields. In addition, in the reporting quarter, the net increase in short-term investments and other non-current assets was US$ 343.1 million, mainly due to placing free funds into deposits (compared to US$ 410.7 million in the first quarter of 2013). In the first quarter of 2014, the Group also received US$ 89.6 million from the repayment of loans by Bashneft-Polyus and spent approximately US$ 41.7 million on financing affiliates.
Net cash inflow from financing activities amounted to US$ 744.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to cash outflow of US$ 257.1 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013. Net cash inflow from financial activities in the reporting quarter of 2014 was largely due to the increase in the Group’s proceeds from short-term and long-term borrowings (US$ 2,134.8 million compared to US$ 1,368.1 in the first quarter of 2013) and the decrease in the principal payments on long-term borrowings (US$ 388.6 million compared to US$ 1,322.7 million in the first quarter of 2013).
The Group’s cash balances of continuing operations stood at US$ 2,232.2 million as of March 31, 2014 (excluding an amount of US$ 1,349.1 million which comprises the Group’s banking activities) compared to US$ 2,009.6 million as of March 31, 2013 (excluding an amount of US$ 901.8 million which comprises the Group’s banking activities). The Group’s short-term and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid deposits amounted to US$ 11,873.6 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to US$ 13,428.4 million as of March 31, 2013.

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. Adjusted OIBDA represents OIBDA adjusted for a number of one-off gains and losses which are of an exeptional nature. We believe that Adjusted OIBDA provides investors with additional useful information to measure our underlying financial performance, particularly from period to period, because this measure is exclusive of certain exceptional gains and losses. Adjusted OIBDA can be reconciled to our consolidated statements of operations as follows:
