Therefore, the adjusted net income of the Group exclusive of non-cash items (provisions, impairments and revaluation of the option agreement with Vnesheconombank was 25.4 billion rubles in 2014 compared to 17.5 billion rubles in 2013. Thus the adjusted net income increased by 7.9 billion rubles (45.1%).
Group revenue increased by 11.9% (78.8 billion rubles) to 741.1 billion rubles.
Revenue from the Supply segment increased by 46.0 billion rubles (11.4%) to 450.0 billion rubles, largely due to increased retail premiums for guaranteeing suppliers, larger customer base resulting from the acquisition of the status of “guarantee supplier” in Omsk and Oryol regions, and integration of JCS Tomskenergosbyt into the Group.
Revenue from the Generation segment increased by 13.8 billion rubles (7.9%) to 190.1 billion rubles reflecting growth both in electric power generation and in thermal power generation sub-segments.
Revenue from electric power generation sub-segments increased by 7.6 billion rubles (6.7%) to 121.0 billion rubles due to greater proceeds from capacity sales resulting from addition of new CDA facilities, load optimization using SAGE (Selection of Active Generation Equipment), and higher electricity sales prices in the first pricing zone.
Revenue from thermal power generation sub-segment, represented by Group TGK-11 and Group Bashkir Generation Company, increased by 6.3 billion rubles (10.0%) to 69.0 billion rubles due to indexations of heat tariffs in 2013 and 2014, and higher NDM prices in wholesale pricing zones.
Revenue from the Trading segment increased by 9.0 billion rubles (19.4%) to 55.2 billion rubles. This change mostly reflects the depreciation of ruble against the currencies of export contracts in late 2014, helping to increase sales volume and revenue in Russian rubles.
Revenue from Armenia segment increased by 4.4 billion rubles (42.2%) to 14.7 billion rubles reflecting increases in electricity prices in Armenia in July 2013 and August 2014 enacted by the national regulatory authority, larger customer base, higher electricity transmission volumes and depreciation of Russian ruble against Armenian dram.
Revenue from Moldavia segment increased by 2.3 billion rubles (48.9%) to 6.9 billion rubles in accordance with increased sales volume due to larger electricity supplies to Moldavian energy system.
Revenue from the Engineering segment increased by 1.3 billion rubles to 2.1 billion rubles. This growth reflects the integration of LLC Kvartz Group into Inter RAO Group as a subsidiary on August 1, 2013.
Operating expenses increased by 5.8% to 728.0 billion rubles.
Cost of purchased electricity and capacity increased by 33.6 billion rubles (13.7%) to 279.2 billion rubles in 2014 due to the integration of JCS Tomskenergosbyt into the Group, the acquisition of the status of guarantee supplier in Omsk and Oryol regions, the expansion of electricity sales geography in Russian Federation, and the increase in electricity prices in the wholesale market compared to 2013.
Electricity transmission fees increased by 14.1 billion rubles (8.3%) to 183.1 billion rubles in the reporting period, reflecting grid operator price increases from January 1, 2014, and increased transmission volumes due to the acquisition of the status of guarantee supplier on the territory of Omsk and Oryol regions and the integration of JCS Tomskenergosbyt into the Group.
Fuel costs increased by 7.9 billion rubles (5.7%) to 145.0 billion rubles following the indexation of gas tariffs in 2013, and the addition of new generation capacities in the fourth quarter of 2013 and in 2014. A minor increase in fuel costs compare to revenue growth reflects the load optimization effort, the offloading of inefficient power generation facilities, the optimization of fuel costs due to coal price reductions for Russian generation assets, and the diversification of gas supply sources.
As the result, the Group generated EBITDA of 57.8 billion rubles, up 47.4%.
The largest contribution to EBITDA is attributable to Generation — Russian Assets segment, which brought in 40.3 billion rubles with increases in both electric power generation and in thermal power generation sub-segments.
EBITDA of electric power generation sub-segment increased by 6.5 billion rubles (27.5%) to 30.3 billion rubles owing to the addition of new CDA facilities at Dzhubginskaya TPP, Gusinoozyorskaya TPP and Yuzhnouralskaya TPP-2, higher electricity and capacity sales prices and marginal fuel cost increases achieved through selection of coal and gas suppliers offering the most favorable pricing.
EBITDA of thermal power generation sub-segments represented by represented by Group TGK-11 and Group Bashkir Generation Company increased by 3.1 billion rubles (45.4%) to 10.1 billion rubles. This change reflected by higher average heat sales prices across the regions we serve, the transition to direct consumer sales in Bashkortostan (without management companies), and the optimization of fuel costs at Bashkir Generation Company with the larger percentage of gas purchased from independent suppliers.
EBITDA of supply segment increased by 3.0 billion rubles (42.6%), reflecting increased the retail premiums for the guaranteeing suppliers within Inter RAO Group, which more than offset increased electricity transmission costs. Increased customer base in Tomsk, Omsk and Oryol regions, which we added to our supply sales geography, was another EBITDA growth factor.
EBITDA of trading segment increased by 1.5 billion rubles or 49.8% compared to 2013. This change was driven by the depreciation of Russian ruble in late 2014 leading to a significant increase in deliveries and export revenues in Russian rubles.
EBITDA of foreign assets segment increased by 1.3 billion rubles (27.1%) to 6.3 billion rubles. The largest part of this increase is attributable to Moldavia segment owing to the transition of CJSC Moldavskaya GRES from coal to natural gas and increased electricity sales to Moldavia. Armenia segment achieved growth as well due to higher tariffs and generation volumes. EBITDA from Kazakhstan segment reduced from 2013 due to lower generation volumes of Ekibastuzskaya TPP-2.
Group’s share of profit of associates and joint ventures was 4.3 billion rubles, up 32.0%.
The 1.0 billion ruble increase over 2013 reflects higher generation volumes at Nizhnevartovskaya TPP after the launch of the third power generation unit—built to support CDA—in March 2014. However, the Group’s share of profit of Ekibastuzskaya TPP-2 decreased due to reduced generation volumes according to falling demand.
Non-current assets increased by 22.3 billion rubles (6.5%) to 365.1 billion rubles.
Non-current assets mostly increased due to development and rehabilitation of power generation units at Yuzhnouralskaya TPP-2, Permskaya TPP, Verkhnetagilskaya TPP and Cherepetskaya TPP.
Current assets increased by 50.6 billion rubles (29.8%) to 220.4 billion rubles.
The largest contribution to the increase in current assets of the Group is attributable to the consolidation of temporarily free cash from the operating cash flow in short-term bank deposits, cash proceeds from the sale of minority stakes in 2014, and dividends for 2013.
Equity increased by 13.7 billion rubles (4.1%) to 348.2 billion rubles.
The largest contribution to equity increase is attributable to the Group’s retained earnings for 2014, and the creation of significant exchange gain on translation reserves due to the depreciation of Russian ruble against the national currencies of the countries where the Group operates.
Total liabilities increased by 59.3 billion rubles (33.3%) to 237.2 billion rubles.
The increase in total liabilities mostly reflects the loans taken to settle the liabilities on the option agreement with Vnesheconombank and to replenish working capital and finance the investment program.

Share of current debt increased following the reclassification of the 15.3 billion ruble long-term loan from JSC Mezhregionenergostroy (with consideration for factoring services provided by VTB Factoring) into short-term debt according to its repayment schedule, and the arrangement of new credit facilities with major banks.
Loans and borrowings of joint ventures represent 10.1 billion rubles of the total debt. Of those, 9.1 billion rubles are attributable to the Group’s share of the debt portfolio of Ekibastuzskaya TPP-2 used to finance its investment program.
