Net sales of gas increased by RUB 14,705 million, or 1%, to RUB 2,139,594 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to an increase in average prices.
Net sales of gas to Europe and other countries increased by RUB 22,286 million, or 2%, to RUB 1,433,591 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was due to the increase in average prices (including excise tax and customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 11% that was partially compensated by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 8% or 10.6 bcm. At the same time average prices denominated in US Dollar increased by 1%.
Net sales of gas to Former Soviet Union countries increased by RUB 12,714 million, or 8%, to RUB 179,738 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to the increase in average prices (including customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 19% (average prices denominated in US Dollar increased by 9%). At the same time, volumes of gas sold decreased by 7%, or 1.5 bcm.
Net sales of refined products (net of excise tax, VAT and customs duties) increased by RUB 51,798 million, or 5%, to RUB 1,043,371 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in net sales of refined products was mainly due to an increase in average prices denominated in the Russian Ruble in all geographic segments.
Net sales of crude oil and gas condensate (net of VAT and customs duties) increased by RUB 37,291 million, or 11%, to RUB 382,947 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales of crude oil was mainly due to an increase in average prices denominated in the Russian Ruble and an increase in Gazprom neft Group's crude oil sales volumes in all geographic segments.
Operating expenses increased by RUB 161,038 million, or 5%, to RUB 3,196,687 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year.
The change in operating expenses is primarily explained by an increase in the items “Taxes other than on income” and “Foreign exchange rate differences on operating items”.
The line item “Taxes other than on profit” increased by RUB 65,024 million, or 10%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year, that was mainly due to an increase in mineral extraction tax by RUB 96,719 million, or 20%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Foreign exchange rate loss on operating items amounted to RUB 51,390 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the foreign exchange gain in the amount of RUB 8,791 million for the same period of the prior year.
The balance of foreign exchange rate differences reflected within the item “Net finance income (expense)” produced the gain in the amount of RUB 218,487 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the loss in the amount of RUB 146,062 million for the same period of the prior year.
Profit attributable to owners of PJSC Gazprom amounted to RUB 836,497 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 which is by RUB 205,693 million, or 33%, more than for the same period of the prior year.
Net debt balance (defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term borrowings, short-term promissory notes payable, long-term borrowings, long-term promissory notes payable, net of cash and cash equivalents) decreased by RUB 457,760 million, or 15%, from RUB 3,014,403 million as of December 31, 2018 to RUB 2,556,643 million as of June 30, 2019. This change was mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents balances.
