(4) excluding expenses for general contractor services rendered by subsidiaries

 

In the first three months of 2020, the Group's operating expenses increased by 3.2% year-on-year mainly due to an increase in depreciation and amortization by RUB 1 billion (+11%), as well as:

 

- an increase in costs for materials, repairs and maintenance by RUB 0.4 billon (+80%);

 

- an increase in other operating expenses by RUB 0.3 billion (+3.3%);

 

- an increase in electricity transit costs by RUB 0.1 billion (+33.3%).

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months of 2020 amounted to RUB 36.6 billion, down 0.8% (RUB 0.3 billion) year-on-year. This was mainly caused by the drop of irregular income in the form of penalties, which were taken into account based on writs of execution.

 

For the three months of 2020, the Group's profit amounted to RUB 19.7 billion, down 28.1% (RUB 7.7 billion) year-on-year. At the same time net profit for the three months of 2020 (RUB 19.7 billion) exceeds by 1 % adjusted net profit for the three months of 2019, which amounted to RUB 19.5 billion (calculated as profit for the period excluding the effect of the asset exchange transaction with JSC DVEUK).
