The Company's revenue in the first half of 2018 increased by RUB 13,048 million or 14.1% year-on-year, driven by: - revenue from electricity transmission services rose by RUB 14,562 million or 16.1% year-on-year, primarily as a result of:
revenue growth from electricity losses compensation in the amount of RUB 11,155 million or by 2.3x following the Russian Government decree №810 (dated 07 July 2017), which introduced changes into the Regulations on non-discriminatory access to electricity transmission services and the rendering of such services.
growth in revenue from electricity transmission by RUB 3,407 million or 4.2% following tariff increase from 1 July 2017.
- revenue from connection services decreased by RUB 1,648 million (96.2%) due to changes to service schedules in accordance with customer orders.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to RUB 69,231 million, which was in line with the same period of 2017 .
