“We are pleased to announce another strong set of quarterly results with excellent year-on-year revenue and OIBDA growth. Our numbers were largely driven by solid operating performance across our entire investment base and consistent execution of Sistema’s strategy.
The key highlights for the period include continued growth of data services resulting in higher OIBDA and OIBDA margins at MTS; improved production and higher oil product sales at Bashneft; substantially narrowed OIBDA loss at SSTL and excellent double digit revenue and OIBDA increase at Detsky mir, where a combination of new stores, improved product range and reduction in operating costs led Detsky mir to outperform seasonal weaknesses.
Importantly, over the course of the last few months, we also achieved an impressive amount of cash inflows as a result of several announced deals. The restructuring of our transportation assets delivered over US$ 430 million while in our energy holdings, Sistema divested its investment in RussNeft for a US$ 1.2 billion cash consideration. Such deals serve to underline our track record of sourcing unique investment opportunities in Russia, securing them at attractive valuations, contributing our value added insight and monetising investment with substantial return.
Combined with the expected dividend flow, Sistema is on track to deliver record cash generation in 2013. This will provide us with the opportunity to further deleverage the holding centre, strengthen our M&A capabilities and increase rewards to shareholders”.

The Group’s adjusted OIBDA margin was 25.1% in the reporting quarter, compared to 24.5% in the corresponding period of 2012 and 23.6% in the first quarter of 2013.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS FOLLOWING THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
MTS
In August 2013, the Uzbek authorities, having failed to dispose of the assets of Uzdunrobita, MTS’s wholly owned subsidiary in Uzbekistan, by way of two rounds of auctions, have reached out directly to Uzdunrobita creditors offering to purchase Uzdunrobita’s assets. MTS understands that the liquidation administrator has now proposed that the creditors of Uzdunrobita purchase these assets. Should this proposal not succeed, the liquidation administrator may transfer all of Uzdunrobita’s assets to the local authorities. The Uzbek operation is presented as discontinued in the reporting quarter, with all Uzdunrobita assets fully provided, and corresponding losses recognized, in the income statement for 2012.
In August 2013, MTS’ Board of Directors set the date for the company’s the EGM for September 30, 2013. The Board also recommended that the EGM approves semi-annual dividends of RUB 5.22 per ordinary MTS share (RUB 10.44 per ADR) amounting to a total of RUB 10.8 billion on the basis of the company’s first half of 2013 financial and operating results.

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:
