As one of the fastest-growing companies in Russia, Rusneftegaz delivered a strong financial performance in the past financial year in spite of challenging trading conditions as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, the Group strengthened its asset base and maintained strong oil production rates to enable high levels of financial growth across all of Rusneftegaz's production programs. Highlights of the last financial year are as follows:
In 2022, Rusneftegaz will continue to implement its planned long-term and large-scale works, growing a substantiate portfolio of energy projects. Special emphasis will be placed upon the generation of electricity, which in 2021 was the most profitable sector of the Group's operations, with the planned expansion of its generation portfolio internationally. Furthermore, next year the company will also focus on strategic longer-term goals by beginning to implement its power equipment production program. Rusneftegaz intends to design and manufacture experimental steam generators for use in the Group’s upcoming power projects, with construction planned to completed by the end of 2023. Rusneftegaz also intends to develop the capability to use its own technical expertise to produce and export power equipment internationally by 2030, largely due to the fact that the acquisition of new equipment is currently the largest cash outflows on the financial statements for the last five years. Despite the Group's petroleum being affected by volatile commodity prices over the past decade, such fluctuations have proven the long-term financial viability of the Group and allowed it to prosper. Nevertheless, Rusneftegaz has reinvested, and will continue to be able to reinvest, all its accumulated profits, which alongside additional external investment will significantly increase the value of the company, its subsidiaries and affiliates in both the immediate and foreseeable future.
- Total revenue for the year was $655,8 million, with a total profit after tax of $255,3 million, a significant improvement on the results announced for 2020.
- All revenue earned from the generation of electricity amounted to $413,0 million, with a profit of $224,2 million before taxes.
- At the end of the period, revenues from oil and gas production amounted to $242,8 million, with annual production amounting to a total of 5,60 million barrels.
- Rusneftegaz held no long-term debt obligations at the end of the financial year.
- The aggregate of investment made during the year was $54,4 million, with the total assets at the end of the financial year valued at $1,96 billion.

The highlights of our fiscal results in 2017 are as follows:
- Rusneftegaz reported significant growth in our financial results with an increase in revenue of 13,9%, totalling $502,3 million in 2017, in addition to an escalation in operating profit of 22,4% to $251,4 million.

A brief analysis of our financial reporting in 2016 is as follows:
- Rusneftegaz announced a pre-tax profit of $178,2 million in 2016 from total revenues of $441,0 million, representing year-on-year growth of 15,9% for the former and 2,3% for the latter.
- There was an increase of $9,2 million in turnover from electricity generation as a result of upgrades and improvements made, leading to an additional $22,3 million of profit. This investment, in conjunction with a worldwide fall in oil prices, led to a significant $30,3 million reduction in electricity generation costs, including a notable $15,6 million decline in fuel expenses.
- At the beginning of 2016, Rusneftegaz negotiated a loan of $250,0 million to acquire and renew assets. In total, our organization invested $274,5 million that year, including $20,0 million on oil and gas equipment.
- Likewise, further investments were also made in 2016 to our electricity infrastructure, with the purchase of new equipment to extend the life of our generation capacity, thus ensuring its operation to this day.
- Oil production expanded from 16.713 bpd (barrels per day) to 17.474 bpd, with the corresponding costs reported also declining by $6,9 million. This, however, was insufficient in preventing a $47,9 million fall in profits for that sector, although this was later recovered in future years.
An outline of the contents of these statements for 2015 is as follows:
- Rusneftegaz increased pre-tax profits for the financial year from $122,5 million to $153,7 million, in spite of turbulent economic conditions at the time stemming from unstable commodity prices.
- Investments made during the period more than doubled from $29,5 million to $87,2 million, with a long-term plan to expand our operations that was later fulfilled.
- Cuts made to costs resulted in net profits from oil production increasing from $118,5 million to $126,4 million, despite falls in both extraction and revenue.
- The electricity division raised revenue from $184,3 million in 2014 to $233,5 million in 2015, notwithstanding falls in both total generation and the value of the ruble.
- Pre-tax profits earned from power production surged from $15,5 million to $37,1 million, with considerable growth in the sector being forecasted at the time that was eventually realized in the years ahead.
In addition to publishing all of our annual financial statements since 2015, Rusneftegaz has also opted to publish our quarterly fiscal and production data for the past five years in accordance with current legislation. Like our other disclosures, the figures outlined in these tables were compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, otherwise known as IFRS, and have been reported on this website as part of our continuing commitment to ethics and transparency within our financial reporting. The information below has not been audited, but is believed by Rusneftegaz to be accurate and true. It was also subject to board approval prior to release, although management cannot wholly endorse the completeness of such information, particularly with regard to data for the current economic year.

Rusneftegaz maintains the highest standards of corporate governance through compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, whilst also sustaining strong internal policies and procedures to ensure accountability, efficiency, and reliability. All directors are accountable to the principal shareholder, which delegates authority and takes a deferential role with regard to daily affairs. Rusneftegaz holds an Annual General Meeting every year for said shareholder to vote on an agenda set forth by the directors, with any addendums by interested parties, including motions to re-elect the Board. At this event, the results for the previous period, produced in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, are published and an auditor for the next financial year is selected accordingly.
On a day-to-day basis, the company is governed by the Management Board, an executive body which consists of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a single, unified role. This particular director orchestrates Rusneftegaz through the service departments of the Executive Office, and is answerable for all areas of the Group's operations. The head of the organization is assisted by his deputy, who also serves in also in a combined role, with all other directors reporting to the Executive Office on a daily basis. At a regional level, the Group is managed through highly experienced local directors on behalf of the head office in Moscow. Moreover, the Chief Financial Officer is responsible for Rusneftegaz's accounting and fiscal policies, with the Chief Operations Officer answerable for the Group's oil production and electricity generation programs. The office of the Company Secretary has specialized in both corporate law and the more complex and intricate areas of administration and technocracy.
All echelons of management ensure that Rusneftegaz employees maintain the highest professional, moral and ethical standards, and condemn those who fail to do so accordingly. Management strives to have the full confidence of all those affiliated with our organization, and works scrupulously to uphold the integrity of the company. The current remit of the Board is to focus on improving the business operations of Rusneftegaz, committing to develop the long-term interests of the Group and striving to achieve high-quality revenue growth in forthcoming financial years. Whilst the majority of impetus is placed on the fulfillment of long-term business strategy, management is also expected to set a high benchmark in regard to compliance with both local and international standards for corporate governance. In this instance, all directors and managers must be open, transparent, and communicative with their contemporaries, particularly in relation to any issues emerging with the company's undertakings. To mitigate the possibility of such predicaments arising, senior staff will always collaborate in unison with all relevant employees to manage and plan the work program to be undertaken by said staff.
To ensure that excellent standards are constantly and consistently upheld, when appropriate, Rusneftegaz deploys foreign specialists to capitalize on their personal expertise and knowledge. However, as a fundamental principle, the company will as a discourse support the local and national economy by prioritizing the utilization of services rendered by Russian businesses, contractors, and suppliers across all areas of Rusneftegaz's enterprise. This includes extensive investment in operational and environmental safety, which is an essential element in the implementation of the Group's current strategy. Rusneftegaz, as a direct consequence of its high standards of corporate governance and oversight, thus is able to provide rigorous guarantees regarding employment and environmental standards, including an exemplary employee safety record and above industry average pay and conditions.
