Commenting on financial results of 2020 Rosneft's Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer "Today we release operating and financial results for 2020, a year which proved to be very difficult for the global oil and gas industry. The pandemic of new coronavirus infection led to an unprecedented drop in crude oil demand. The volatility of oil prices was at a critical level. At the same time, Rosneft fulfilled its obligations to balance market demand and supply as requested by the Russian Government. Today we can proudly state that we were not only able to successfully meet the challenges of 2020, but also demonstrated the ability to work in challenging conditions of unprecedented low prices. This was made possible by the high level of operational and investment efficiency. In the fourth quarter, the unit upstream operating cost decreased to In 2020 we reshaped and upgraded our upstream portfolio. We divested certain "tail" assets which are depleted with high water cut and as consequently low-margin and less attractive from a capital return point of view, and/or assets where depletion subsidies have been cancelled. At the same time we refocused on large projects which are low cost, high-margin, with high-quality resources and a low carbon footprint. A key step in this transformation at the end of 2020 was the formation of the "Vostok Oil" shareholding structure with the entry of one of the largest global trading companies allowing for the practical start of the execution of the project activities. This set of transactions will reshape the Company, making it adequate to the external challenges. «Vostok Oil» is undoubtedly the world's largest new hydrocarbon project. In the coming years, the necessary infrastructure will be created for the organization of production and supply in 2024. The output will reach 100 million tonnes early next decade. «Vostok Oil», being an important milestone in the development of the Company, will become a new oil and gas province in the north of «Vostok Oil» and other investment projects of the Company will enable the growth of the shareholder value and dividend yield for our shareholders. Despite the difficulties in 2020 the Company generated Net profit which sets a base for the dividends in accordance with the dividend policy".
