1.         General

Description of business

PJSC Gazprom Neft (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") is a vertically integrated oil company operating in the Russian Federation, the CIS and internationally. The Group's principal activities include exploration, production and development of crude oil and gas, production of refined petroleum products and distribution and marketing operations through its retail outlets.

The Company was incorporated in 1995 and is domiciled in the Russian Federation. The Company is a public joint-stock company and was set up in accordance with Russian regulations. PJSC Gazprom (a state-controlled entity), the Group's ultimate parent company, owns 95.7% of the shares in the Company.

 

 

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Group maintains its books and records in accordance with accounting and taxation principles and practices mandated by legislation in the countries in which it operates (primarily the Russian Federation). The accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were primarily derived from the Group's statutory books and records with adjustments and reclassifications made to present them in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The Group does not disclose information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in its audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019, such as significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements, financial risk disclosures or disclosures of financial line items, which have not changed significantly in amount or composition. These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS.

However, the spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the preventive measures which led to decrease in the economic activity of market participants in the first quarter of 2020, as well as significant volatility in the currency, stock and commodity markets (including the decrease in oil prices and weakening of the ruble (RUB) against the US dollar (USD) and EURO (EUR)), since March 2020, have impacted the accounting estimates which are used by the Group in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements preparation and bear the risk of significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Information on the effect of these macroeconomic factors on the estimates with the greatest impact on the amounts reflected in these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements is provided below.

Impairment of non-current assets

Due to indications of possible impairment, the Group conducted impairment testing for oil and gas assets located outside the Russian Federation, the valuation of which is most affected by changes in macroeconomic parameters that are not offset by a decrease in the ruble exchange rate (note 8). The macroeconomic factors mentioned above were taken into account when preparing business plans (models), which are the main source of information for measuring the value in use of non-current assets, including when preparing forecasts of oil production volumes, oil price dynamics, as well as when determining the discount rate.

Estimation of oil and gas reserves

The estimation of proved reserves of oil and gas is used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets. In addition, the assessment of proved oil and gas reserves is used to calculate future cash flows, which are one of the main indicators of whether an asset is impaired. Oil and gas reserves are estimated based on certain assumptions of the Group, including the economic profitability of production, which is affected by the dynamics of oil prices and future capital and operating expenses. The macroeconomic factors mentioned above may lead to a downward revision of the reserves estimate. The Group intention is to assess the macroeconomic factors impact on the amount of reserves in the next reporting periods.

These macroeconomic factors also affected the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value or amortised cost (note 23).

Subsequent events occurring after 31 March 2020 were evaluated through 27 May 2020, the date these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue.

The results for the three months ended  are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The Group as a whole is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

Changes in significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies, judgements and estimates applied while preparing these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied during the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Capitalised borrowing costs for the three months ended 31 March 2020 include interest expense in the amount of RUB 7.8 billion and exchange losses arising from currency borrowing in the amount of RUB 1.4 billion (RUB 6.6 billion and zero RUB billion for the three months ended 31 March 2019 accordingly).

As of 31 March 2020 the Group identified  indicators of impairment in relation to upstream oil and gas assets in foreign regions and performed impairment test for such assets (no impairment were recognised as of 31 December 2019). The impairment loss is included in Depreciation, depletion and amortisation line item in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. In assessing the possible impairment, the carrying amount is compared with the estimated value in use.

The value in use is determined as the discounted net cash flows based on the forecasts of oil prices and production quantities based on reserve report and confirmed long-term strategic plans. The forecasting period for determining the value in use is in line with the management assumptions for long-term planning and does not exceed the useful life of assets different from goodwill and included in the CGUs.

Key assumptions applied to the calculation of value in use:

·      The discount rate calculation is based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for asset specific risks (9.36% per annum in real terms, no change compared to 2019);

·      Oil prices are based on the available forecasts from globally recognized research institutions such as Wood Mackenzie, Platts/PIRA, Energy Group and Energy Aspects;

·      Estimated production volumes were based on detailed data for the fields and the field development plans approved by management through the long-term planning process were taken into account.

23.       Fair value measurement

The following assets and liabilities are measured at fair value in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements: derivative financial instruments, equity investments and the Stock Appreciation Rights plan (SAR). Derivative financial instruments and SARs refer to Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, i.e. their fair value is determined on the basis of inputs that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Equity investments are represented by unlisted equity securities and refer to Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Group determines the fair value of unlisted equity securities considering different scenarios of future capital distributions for such investments. There were no significant changes in fair values for the reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended 31 March 2020 and 2019. There are no significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value categorised within Level 1 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is determined by using forward exchange rates at the reporting date with the resulting value discounted back to present value.

As of 31 March 2020 the fair value of bonds and loan participation notes is RUB 417.3 billion (RUB 371.4 billion as of 31 December 2019). The fair value is derived from quotations in the active market from an external source of financial information and is related to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost approximates their fair value. The fair values were calculated based on cash flows discounted using the current lending rate. They are classified as Level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

 

 

24.       Commitments and contingencies

Taxes

Russian tax and customs legislation is subject to frequent changes and varying interpretations. The management's treatment of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activities of the Group, including calculation of taxes payable to federal, regional and municipal budgets, may be challenged by the relevant authorities. The Russian tax authorities may take a more assertive position in their treatment of legislation and assessments, and there is a risk that transactions and activities that have not been challenged in the past may be challenged later. As a result, additional taxes, penalties and interest may be accrued. Generally, taxpayers are subject to tax audits for a period of three calendar years immediately preceding the year in which the decision to carry out a tax audit was taken. Under certain circumstances tax audits may cover longer periods. For the individual entities of the Group the field tax audit with regard to the years 2015-2018 is being performed now, the years 2018-2019 are currently open for tax audit. The management believes it has adequately provided for any probable additional tax accruals that might arise from these tax audits.

Russian transfer pricing legislation is generally aligned with the international transfer pricing principles developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), although it has specific features. This legislation provides for the possibility of additional tax assessments for controlled transactions (transactions between related parties and certain transactions between unrelated parties) if such transactions are not on an arm's-length basis.

Compliance of the prices of the Group's controllable transactions with related parties with the transfer pricing rules is subject to regular internal control. The management believes that the transfer pricing documentation that the Group has prepared to confirm its compliance with the transfer pricing rules provides sufficient evidence to support the Group's tax positions and related tax returns. In addition in order to mitigate potential risks, the Group regularly negotiates approaches to defining prices used for tax purposes for major controllable transactions with tax authorities in advance. Twenty-two pricing agreements between the Group and tax authorities regarding major intercompany transactions were concluded in 2012-2019.

As Russian tax legislation does not provide definitive guidance in certain areas, the Group adopts, from time to time, interpretations of such uncertain areas that reduce the overall tax rate of the Group. While the management currently estimates that the tax positions and interpretations that it has taken can probably be sustained, there is a possible risk that an outflow of resources will be required should such tax positions and interpretations be challenged by the tax authorities. The impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be significant to the financial position and/or the overall operations of the Group.

Economic environment in the Russian Federation

The Group operates primarily in the Russian Federation and is therefore exposed to risks related to the state of the economy and financial markets of the Russian Federation. The Russian economy is significantly affected by world oil and gas prices; therefore, a significant prolonged decline in oil prices has a negative impact on the Russian economy. The Russian economy was growing in 2017-2019, after overcoming the economic recession of 2015 and 2016. The development of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in 2020 and the measures taken in this regard to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection led, among other factors, to a sharp decline in oil prices and the weakening of the Russian ruble. The situation in the financial markets remains unstable. This operating environment has a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position.

The management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Group's operations. However, the future effects of the current economic situation are difficult to predict and the management's current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.

In 2014 the U.S., the EU and certain other countries imposed sanctions on the Russian energy sector that partially apply to the Group. The information on the main restrictions related to the sanctions was disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2014. In August 2018 the U.S. signed an act to impose further sanctions against the Russian Federation. The Group assessed that the new sanctions do not have a significant impact on its activity.

Environmental matters

The enforcement of environmental regulation in the Russian Federation is evolving and the enforcement posture of government authorities is continually being reconsidered. The Group periodically evaluates its potential obligations under environmental regulation. The management is of the opinion that the Group has met the government's requirements concerning environmental matters, and therefore the Group does not have any material environmental liabilities.

 

Capital commitments

As of 31 March 2020 the Group has entered into contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment for RUB 626.8 billion (RUB 523.4 billion as of 31 December 2019).

 

25.       Related party transactions

For the purpose of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or jointly control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions as defined by IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms, conditions and amounts as transactions between unrelated parties.

The Group enters into transactions with related parties based on market or regulated prices. Short-term and long-term loans provided as well as debt are based on market conditions available for not related entities.

The Group has applied the exemption as allowed by IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures not to disclose all government-related transactions, as the parent of the Company is effectively being controlled by the Russian Government. In the course of its ordinary business the Group enters into transactions with natural monopolies, transportation companies and other government-related entities. Such purchases and sales are individually insignificant and are generally entered into on market or regulated prices. Transactions with the state also include taxes which are detailed in notes 6 and 16.

The tables below summarise transactions in the ordinary course of business with either the parent company or the parent's subsidiaries and associates or associates and joint ventures of the Group.

26.       Segment information

Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group manages its operations in two operating segments: Upstream and Downstream.

The Upstream segment (exploration and production) includes the following Group operations: exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas (including the results of joint ventures), and oil field services. The Downstream segment (refining and marketing) processes crude into refined products and purchases, sells and transports crude oil and refined petroleum products.

Inter-segment revenues are based on prices effective for local markets and linked to global market prices.

Eliminations and other adjustments include elimination of inter-segment sales and related unrealised profits, mainly from the sale of crude oil and petroleum products, and other adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA represents the Group's EBITDA and its share in EBITDA of associates' and joint ventures'. The management believes that adjusted EBITDA represents useful means of assessing the performance of the Group's ongoing operating activities, as it reflects the Group's earnings trends without showing the impact of certain charges. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortisation, net foreign exchange gain (loss), other non-operating expenses and includes the Group's share of profit of associates and joint ventures. EBITDA is a supplementary non-IFRS financial measure used by the management to evaluate operations.
