Operating expenses decreased by RUB 503,430 million to RUB 2,693,257 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year.

The decrease in the item "Taxes other than on profit" by RUB 115,830 million, or 16%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior year was mainly due to a decrease in the mineral extraction tax expenses, mainly caused by a decrease in oil prices and a decrease in volumes of gas production.

%, respectively, for the same period of the prior year.

This change was mainly due to an increase in the amount of long-term borrowings denominated in the Russian Ruble caused by the appreciation of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble.
