Revenues and EBITDA

In the first quarter of 2019, our total revenues amounted to RR 234.1 billion and Normalized EBITDA, including our share in EBITDA of joint ventures, totalled RR 117.9 billion, representing quarter-on-quarter increases of 30.5% and 54.6%, respectively.

The increases in total revenues and Normalized EBITDA were largely due to the production launch at the second and third LNG trains at Yamal LNG in the second half of 2018, as well as increases in our sales volumes and net realized prices in Russian roubles terms for the majority of our liquids.

Profit attributable to shareholders of PAO NOVATEK

Profit attributable to shareholders of PAO NOVATEK increased to RR 381.8 billion (RR 126.74 per share), or 8.9 times, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of a net gain on disposal of a 10% participation interest in the Arctic LNG 2 project in March 2019 in the amount of RR 308.6 billion, as well as the recognition of non-cash foreign exchange effects on foreign currency denominated loans of the Group and its joint ventures in both reporting periods.

Excluding the effects from the disposal of interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures and foreign exchange differences, Normalized profit attributable to shareholders of PAO NOVATEK increased to RR 65.7 billion (RR 21.82 per share), or by 40.1%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

Cash used for capital expenditures

Our cash used for capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2019 increased by RR 32.8 billion, or 337.4%, to RR 42.5 billion compared to RR 9.7 billion in the corresponding period in 2018. In both reporting periods, a significant part of our capital expenditures related to the development of our LNG projects (Arctic LNG 2 and the center to build and fabricate large-scale marine facilities located in the Murmansk region) and the North-Russkoye field.

Our total natural gas and liquids production including our proportionate share in the production of joint ventures increased by 13.0% and 1.7%, respectively. The main factor positively impacting the production increase was the launch of LNG production at the second and third LNG trains at Yamal LNG in the second half of 2018.

In the first quarter of 2019, our natural gas sales volumes totaled 22.2 billion cubic meters (bcm), representing a 9.5% increase as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, due to an increase in LNG sales volumes purchased primarily from our joint venture Yamal LNG and sold on international markets. As at 31 March 2019, we recorded 0.8 bcm of natural gas in inventory balances relating mainly to natural gas in the Underground Gas Storage Facilities, compared to 0.1 bcm at 31 March 2018. Natural gas inventory balances tend to fluctuate period-to-period depending on the Group's demand for natural gas withdrawal from the UGSF for the sale in the subsequent periods.

In the first quarter of 2019, our liquid hydrocarbons sales volumes aggregated 4.0 million tons, representing a 5.3% increase as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in our liquid hydrocarbons inventory balance by 62 thousand tons (mt) in the first quarter of 2019 compared to an increase by 140 mt in the first quarter of 2018. As at 31 March 2019, we recorded 1,007 mt of liquid hydrocarbons in transit or storage and recognized as inventory as compared to 1,102 mt at 31 March 2018. Our liquid hydrocarbon inventory balances tend to fluctuate period-on-period and are usually realized in the following reporting period.
